Taken Away

Sifeng understood what Kim was trying to say, he knew his skill is not good enough to go against any of the disciples in the Academy not even the lowest rank of them, Kim had claimed that a Cub from the Academy is five times stronger than her and Sifeng himself could not do anything against Kim when they're training.

The only advantage he had is his wild life force, Kim had also proved it for him but the problem is his failure to control it and that's why Kim had told him not to use any basic spell until he can handle his life force, so the sect will not put an eye on him.

'Is that really the best option, my intention is to put a great impression on the so called sect elders, I mean, first impression is always the best. But I think the idea of getting stronger on the low is not really bad.'

Just as he look at Kim to give a reply, the sound of the door opening was heard and coming into view is a man in blue robe with clear skin and complete white hair, Master Che.

He stare at both of them for a few minutes, Sifeng on his knees while Kim stood in front of him, he cleared his throat and move forward.

"I'm afraid the sect got here earlier than my prediction, they're out waiting for you, Sifeng."

Kim was the first to react as she rushed over to him.

"Dad, what are you doing, you spoke casually like the matter isn't an issue for you, as if it didn't bother you a bit. Is that how it's supposed to be? And you always said you cared for him."

She shouted with tears rolling down her eyes.

"Don't get me wrong Kim, I tried my best, I did all I could behind the scenes but you know I can't do anything to stop the sect."

Master Che said.

"I can't believe it, hear what you just said yourself, you tried you best? You can't do anything to stop the sect? What of those times, before the matter get to the sect, you always did like you don't know about it until Sifeng was pushed to the extreme, making him...making him...."

She fell down on her knees, sobbing rapidly. Sifeng rushed over to her, he knew what she was holding herself from saying and he was thankful that she didn't say it.

"It's Alright Kim, I guess he has no time for a weak son like me, so it's not his fault."

Sifeng said, staring straight into Master Che's eyes.

Some minutes later, two men in black robe with black wooden mask on each of their face descended from above with sparks of white energy swelling around their feet, Sifeng stood a few meters away from their landing zone and just behind him was Kim and Master Che.

Sifeng now had one of his specially made dress on, a short blue hood with a loose-fitting trouser. A long silver sword was attached to his waist with a black backpack that rested on his shoulder.

The sword was created for him by Kim with her life force, after the arrival of Master Che and Kim's confrontation a moment ago, the two have requested for an excuse from their father and Kim had quickly explained a few things to him, even though it's the repetition of most of her words during their training.

But there's one sentence that she kept sticking into his mind, 'not to use any basic spell without a proper control of his energy.' She's adamant of that simple rule she gave him as she keep repeating it. After their little talk, she had provided him a sword with a her life energy, although the golden sword Sifeng created is still safe somewhere within the capability of the storage spell, but just to stick to the plan, she created a sword he would be using for him.

She also provided him a backpack where he kept some of his stuffs, the important ones among them are kept with the storage spell, the backpack is just for false impression. He was also given the small communication device so he would be getting in touch with Kim.

The two men walk towards Master Che and bow their heads a little which the man also respond with the same gesture.

"Greetings from the sect to the Nara Clan leader."

The masked men said.

The two men look the same, their height, their figure and the mask they are putting on, Sifeng could only differentiate them with their hair, one has a raven black hair while the other is blonde.

"Greetings from the Nara Clan to the sect."

Master Che replied.

The masked man with blonde hair move towards Sifeng while the other speaks with Master Che.

Sifeng could feel the immense and overwhelming aura swelling around the masked man besides him, the energy emanating from his body is pressuring him down but Sifeng is not a weak minded individual, so he didn't give in. Sweat could be seen rolling down his forehead.

He didn't even know what rank these people are that their presence is so suffocating but he doubt that they'll be ranked above Master Che and still, he never felt like this around the Nara Clan leader.

'Too strong, this people are too strong. I guess I really have to stick to Kim's plan.'

Unbeknownst to him, the two masked men are just at the Warrior rank and they're not even close to making a breakthrough to a Monarch, which is the same rank as Master Che, and still, he never felt like this around Master Che.

Turning his head to Kim, he could see that she's holding herself from breaking down, he still don't understand why she still care so much for him even after discovering that he's not her real brother, maybe she still feel some connection with the past Sifeng when looking at his body, or it's just the fact that looking at him is the same as looking at her brother even though her brother soul is not there again.

"....I hope you would be able to see your son again."

The man having a discussion with Master Che said his last word to him as he moves back and joined his comrade with Sifeng. He looked at the calm and composed Sifeng and smile behind the wooden mask.

"Hey little tiger, we're about to take a flight, hope your grip is strong, because I can't afford you falling from heavens height while we are flying, you might turn to paste."

The man said jokingly, contrasting the emotionless mask he had on his face and his aloof comrade.

'Little tiger? What's wrong with this bastard.'

Suddenly, the two men's feet hovers few inches above the ground and under their feet is what look like a battle axe with white sparks dancing around it.

"Now hold on to me tightly, we are moving."

The man with raven black hair said and Sifeng slowly walk up to him without looking back, holding the man tightly from behind as they move upward and fly away.

Sifeng did not spare Master Che or Kim a last glance, he wanted to forget about them as soon as he move out of their sight, to him, they're just a fleeting moment but he still hope to meet Kim in the future because that's his promise to her.

He didn't know what's waiting for him in the Academy.
