Night Garden Academy III

Cyra spent most of herself familiarizing herself with her new wings; firstly, she needed to avoid sending out vibrations. As such, she learned to control the urge to move the wings unless it was necessary.

"Master Ankuj is looking for you."

"Let him in."

"Yes, Master."

Ankuj left a mark on Cyra through their previous interactions. As such, she was somewhat curious about what did he wanted from her this time.

"Master Cyra, it's so good to see you." Without any prior warning, Ankuj hugged Cyra then waved his hand, and another4 individuals walked inside."

"Ankuj, what do you want this time?"

"A simple deal."

"What deal?"

"You see, I heard that you have another identity known as the watcher, the one that haunts mortals and massacred the five beasts."

"Yes, what about it?" Cyra didn't like to talk with this guy as he wasn't direct with his intention. He hated the principal, but not for the reasons she previously guesses. It didn't seem like he was part of the lower divisions, but perhaps was he a teacher?

"I need bodies. As the Watcher, you must have a few dead bodies with you, old or new it doesn't matter. They need to be somewhat intact."

Ankuj request sparked Cyra's interest, and with a wave of her hand, Principal Teo's body appeared on the table. "I can give you him, I don't know why exactly do you hate him, but with this, we could be even, right?"

"You can even imagine how hard it is to get the bodies of a cultivator. They are held in utmost respect even after their death if an intact body survives a clash between cultivators, it will be buried by the locals and can't be accessed any longer." Ankuj was enveloped by endless joy and couldn't contain his excitement. When he looked at Cyra, he could see his one and only friend.

On the other hand, Cyra was feeling strange about this whole interaction. What's the point of having a dead body other than eating? Is he also planning to cook the principal, or is there anything else you could do with him? His reaction just seemed a bit surreal. "So tell me, what do you want to do with him?"

"I want to save him!"

"Say what now? You do realize that he has been dead for over 100 years, right? Their conversation just became weirder and weirder with each passing minute.

"Yes, we can still save him! A hundred years are nothing for a god. Even 500 years are plenty of time, but you stomped his skull directly, killing him via shock, that might be a problem." Ankuj pulled out a knife and opened up Teo's skull to look at the brain condition. "Yes, we still can save him when you killed him, his head hit the ground sideways, and you destroyed the back portions of his brain, but the Prefrontal Cortex is still intact."

"You lost me half way."

"The prefrontal cortex is where most of his memories are stored as long as we could restore the brain, we can save him." Ankuj clapped his hands then put his right hand on Teo's skull while the left hand landed on the stomach. A bolt of gentle blue lightning rushed through the body, and Teo's eyes opened. "Cyra, quickly hold him down."

Without a second thought, Cyra held the body in place. In a matter of seconds, the former principal was in a state of madness, shrieking and screaming as hard as he could while trying to bite Ankuj. "This is magnificent as expected of a god, back on his 2 feet seconds after the first shock."

"Ankuj continue, or I kill him, I can't take this noise any longer." Cyra heard people screaming before, but this was something else, unbearable.

"All right, let me continue just hold him tight, as you can see, his body is in almost perfect condition as such we can work with that the only issue his missing brain, but I will solve that now by giving him [Ice Blood] this should repair the damaged parts of his brain and rebuild it."

"What is that [Ice Blood]?"

"It's one of my creations from mixing human blood samples with Ocellated Leeches, this cocktail capable of restoring the brain with a bit of amnesia."

"I see. Is there anything else that Teo needs?"

"Yes, food, his body has the blueprint now for how to repair the damage, but it also requires non-decomposed cells as building blocks."

Cyra complied with Ankuj request and feed Teo with what ever he asked for, soon his body experienced a rapid change of skin growth, and the bones turned from yellowish to white again.

Ankuj slowly tailored his head, and Teo gained a younger appearance while also wearing long hair and nails.

In the end, everything came down to the brain; Teo already stopped screaming and was mindlessly watching the wall before him.

"What's happening now?"

"He is trying to remember for who he was, even if I managed to completely repair his brain with the passing of a hundred years, something was lost. He is Teo but not the Teo that you or I have met, as the original personality is either completely gone or here but completely broke. Hell, I'm even surprised that he knows how to breathe!"

Looking at Teo, who was living and breathing, "Who are you?"

"Oh, that so-called question, I asked that countless times in the past years until I found out your identity as the Watcher. I also have many names since I know yours, I will tell you mine, for the cultivators. I'm Master Ankuj. The mortals know me as Dr.A while the temple calls me the Necromancer of the past."

"The last name is on point." Even if she wasn't that willing to see her enemy walk again, as long as he didn't remember their past hostility, it was all right. As for Ankuj, his abilities to bring back the dead could be useful even for her.

The only remaining question she had was the Soul because it also stores memories, will the body remains a so-called Soulless husk, or it will give birth to another Soul.

Will he gain a Soul?

[Thats unknown, a Soul enters a body at birth and leaves it at death, there is a possibility of Soul birth, but it's need time, and it would be an infant at best.]

"Well, thank you, it's nice of you." The followers that came with Ankuj picked up Teo and took him away.

"Why did you showed me that?"

"I wonder why you see I'm a doctor and working as a doctor, I'm always looking for good business opportunities as such I came to you. I need a large number of bodies in return. I will help you whenever you need my expertise with the exchange rate of 5 dead 1 one life."

"That's fair, but I haven't been hunting recently, and I ate most of my prey. Only these five are still intact." Five other bodies appeared on the floor, just as Cyra stated before. They were in a relatively good state without any brain damage. Most of them died from blood loss.

Ankuj packed up the bodies and turned around to leave as today was a profitable exchange. He was relatively happy. Just before leaving, he held close his bracelet against Cyra's.

This simple action enabled the two bracelets to contact each other similar to that of a phone.

Cyra copied him and did the same to Jade and learned another useful ability of the bracelet.

After Ankuj left, Cyra turned back to her attention to the wings, now she was able to control them safely, but there were still the two spheres' abilities that she wasn't sure how do the new changes have effected them.

Her ability to fly and reflect hasn't changed one bit, but there were still some unexplainable side effects of merging the bones and spheres.

These side effects didn't appear instantly; instead became noticeable as time had passed. Firstly, whenever Cyra was flying, the bones mimicked the motion of flight, which again caused vibration bursts to be unleashed whenever she flapped her wings, meaning that nobody before her was safe.

The second is that her entire body is affected by the reflection that includes the newly developed wing frame; this indicates that whenever vibrations start, the waves will be trapped between the two wings and amplify the destructive effects multiple times.

With 200 years remaining until the competition, Cyra entered seclusion one final time. She wanted to develop her bone frame before leaving the academy entirely.

But it was easier said than done because her 3rd Sphere brought her an unnatural change.

For instance, humans had always had four limbs for a reason, it was efficient, and the body was only capable of holding the weight of 2 arms, but as a god, strength output has increased and could sustain much more without any issues.

But in most cases, they still retained their original form without any significant biological changes because why change something that is working just fine.

With the Rise of Cyra's 3rd Sphere, the skeletal frame of her arms has changed. Her golden bones had an inhuman strength, yet they could remain flexible all the time.

Evolution was all about practicality and effectiveness; the elements of surprise could win you battles as such, this new change happened, but this time right after Cyra began cultivation, an additional set of arms risen from her shoulders.

The sheer amount of pain destroyed her pain receptors as she was constantly bleeding from her crippled hands.

She had to feast on her flesh once more to repair the damage that her body has suffered.

She gained upper and lower pairs of arms. The system almost perfectly synchronized the upper and lower parts.

They were placed on top of each other. Cyra's muscular structure has also had to be revered as now she was capable of performing a grabbing motion inward and outwards with both arms and hands, together and separately. This is where flexibility and strength came into the picture.

Her new arms were noticeably smaller, but after her skin started regrowing, the two separate arms on each side became invisible for the naked eye. They looked just like average arms.

These changes didn't happen naturally nor the system design. It was caused solely by the insane amount of [Frost Blood] she has consumed.

She was already researching a Frost Demon of the Abyss. After her clothes also enveloped the new arms, her cultivation realm has risen once more from Golden Wusun to Crowned Wusun.

After her arms fully formed, there was no need to consume Tylium as those arms' sole existence symbolized strength.

The finishing touch was achieved when the 3rd Sphere broken up into two halves and melted onto the arms solidifying the foundation frame.

As per usual, another abnormal change has occurred since the Sphere of Force Control became part of her arms; she is incapable of separating them unless the body force control limitations are nullified. As such, her power output isn't limited, and she can go above 100%.

As of now, Force control is actively blocking her power output at the limits of Godly standards and binds her to the limits of a Crowned Wusun sealing of her actual combat strength.

Each of her arms could raise her body's maximum power output, effectively raising it to monstrous degrees but it's incredibly taxing based on energy consumption.

The split 3rd Sphere also given Cyra the ability to retract her bone wings. Pulling them back inside her body stopped her from going crazy from the fear of an accidental vibration blast.
