Harmonious

An hour later.

"This body has so many problems, I have to correct them one by one or my foundation will become unstable."

"I have removed the Death Law from this body. But it has helped me further my knowledge of Death Law, it will surely benefit me in the future."

Law is the energies of nature which a cultivator study like fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, life, death etc. and stores them in their body in the purest form possible.

Chakras are the containers for the Law. Chakra is bound to a certain Law by birth or can mold them to store more Law in them of different nature but the base nature will never change.

For example, a cultivator who is Blacksmith must have Fire bound Chakra or his/her future in Forging will be lower than the person having Fire bound Chakra.

But having certain Law bounded Chakra become a curse to the body.

There has never been a cultivator with inborn Time-bound Chakra alive. Even if there has been any, either the child would have died before it was born or killed by the overload of Law which a child's body can never handle.

All these restrictions, which restricts other cultivator has become a joke to Xan.

'7 Chakra Natality Mantra' will help Xan mold his Chakra whichever way he wants.

'I have to go out or I may create suspicion.'

After this short meditation, Xan's face doesn't look frail and sick but has gained a shade of red.

Xan started searching for his brothers while sorting all the information of students around him and searching for the culprits of Xander's death.

He reached the area where bonfire has been lit as it is going to be dark. Some of the girls are cutting vegetables while boys are collecting woods and cleaning the surrounding area with the other girls.

"Xander, you are here. I hope you are feeling good.", asked Udolf.

"Yeah, I'm all good. I come to see if I can find some work.", replied Xan.

"OK. Go help them clean the area around the fire.", ordered Udolf with a polite tone

"Got it."

Scanning the place, he found his brothers collecting woods on the opposite side.

He started helping in clearing the dirt and insects and placing medium size rocks to sit during dinner.

Suddenly, he saw a group coming from the woods laughing and talking. They walked towards the lake left of Xan.

Seeing them, a deathly smile hung on Xan's lips.

'Even though I can't kill them now but torturing them will be a good option.'

Xan resumes his work, not bothered with their presence at all.

Xan is not an impulsive person who will do as he desires.

Xan knows that he is only an ant-like mortal with no power and a weak body. He will not create any unnecessary problems for himself even if he wants to, will do discretely.

When the last ray of the sun is lost in the horizon, Chesney brought all the necessary equipment for cooking.

All the vegetables and ingredients have been prepared in the required amount for the dinner.

After 15 minutes of work done by Chesney and students, dinner was prepared.

"Tonight's dinner will be Porridge with vegetables. I hope everyone likes it.", said Chesney.

"Now everyone, form a line and takes your portion if anyone wants extra wait until all the students have taken their portion.", ordered Udolf.

All the students take their portion of food one by one and eat in groups. Xan, Luke, Taylor, Thompson and 3 more students who are close to them from there own circle, a little away from the center.

2 of them were girls named Pem Yuri and Reena Scull. Both of them are friends with Taylor in spite of her extreme nature. While the last one is Edmund Paul a.k.a. Ed, Taylor cousin and best friend with Thompson and us.

Luke asked Xan, "What happened to your face? It looks different."

"I just slept and feel refreshed. That's all."

"Forget about all this, he is as good as a horse.", said Taylor.

"Yeah, we should start preparing for the competitions going to be held tomorrow.", said Ed.

"Well, we don't know what challenge teacher Udolf will give us.", replied Thompson.

"Well, there are some lazy bumes around us but don't worry, yours truly, will not disappoint you all by the information I got.", Ed smugly said.

"Then tell us fast.", asked Reena.

"Calm down first. I talked to teacher Udolf and he revealed that every activity for tomorrow will be held in pairs.", while showing a proud smile told Ed.

Eyes of Taylor sparkled and eyes of all of them looked towards Taylor except Xan. Everyone here knows of the affection Taylor has toward Xan.

"Then who is going to be with whom for tomorrow?", asked Reena.

Pem said, "I'll be with Luke."

"Then, you two decide by Rock, Paper, Scissor who will become my partner.", commanded Reena to Thompson and Ed.

Xan felt amused looking at the antiques happening in front of him. He knew no other girl will pair with him because of Taylor. Even if someone has dared to do, she will get a free ticket to the extreme sport available in the latest by personally by Taylor. The girl will have to take it a bungee jumping session whenever you go into building with more than 3 floors.

"You both are lucky to get good looks.", said Ed to Luke and Xan.

"Hey, I am also good looking.", refuted Thompson.

"Haha.", everyone laughed cheerfully.

The meaning of best friend is that you know even little things about your friend. But in case of Ed and Thompson, they can even read each other minds.

The game of Rock, Paper, Scissor reached 15th round before Thompson emerged as the winner.

"You both are such a good pair. Why don't I find someone else to pair with?", asked Reena.

"No.", shouted both of them.

"Haha."

Enjoying the harmonious atmosphere Xan thought, 'It is not bad to enjoy some peaceful years after getting rid of that hell. I don't have many attachments over there.'

'Future is too far ahead. The present is in front of me.'

'I will enjoy the warmth of family and friends while I can.'
