Chapter 69: District 2 (2)

Kai did not stay there any longer. He left the cave with slow steps and started walking towards his home. He hadn't seen Quentin this time, but that didn't matter much. He guessed that he had made a lot of progress in a week.

When he got to the area where the houses were, everyone was pointing fingers at him. It might have seemed to bother him, but Kai puffed out his chest and walked proudly. He tried to keep a cold expression on his face, but it was only slightly distorted.

People saw him too. Kai caught a lot of eyes on his way home.

"Hey, isn't that the monster that took 1st place in the District 1 Tournament? Rumour has it he switched to green lightning."

"Nonsense! He's only been cultivating for a year. How could it have switched to green lightning? "

"I think it's really green lightning. Did you see the people who went to watch the tournament that day? They were all working like crazy. For 1 week, the academy was already full of cracking sounds. Some went to the blue lightning, some to the green lightning, some even to the orange lightning. And there was a red lightning bolt. The development statistics in the academy have gone crazy this month. Everyone's working like crazy. We're second year. If this keeps up, even the freshmen will overtake us. I'll try to get to the top of the peak of the blue lightning. If you want, come along. Let's practice together. "said one of them and quickly left. The other two people who were with him followed him at the same time and went home.

Kai had reached his home at that time. Everyone in the house was in their rooms. He quickly went up to his room and saw his friends putting on their clothes.

Jace was wearing a shirt that came up to his legs. On his bed was a sword that looked like a katana with writing in the language of Ancient China. The sharp side of the sword was purple. There was a black scabbard next to the sword. Jace was hiding the sword a little with his trousers and long shirt. His shirt and trousers were jet black. If he hid in the shadows, no one would find him. He looked like an assassin in his current state.

Jack's face was flushed, showing his embarrassment for the previous events. He would go to Milah for short periods of time and they would have a secret affair that they thought no one knew about. Kai had already learnt from Ezra what had happened. So he laughed a little at that and then examined him too. Jack's posture was changing over time. At the same time, his hair remained half brown and half blonde. He was wearing a jacket. Under the jacket was a T-shirt. He was wearing a pair of trousers and he had a sword on his bed. The sword of balance. Jack hadn't learnt his name yet. I could see from his behaviour that he was upset about it.

After becoming one with the sword, the sword would tell its owner its name. Although this was actually very difficult, anyone could do it in time. But how long it took you to achieve this, of course, affected your development. In the tournament, many geniuses were able to name their swords. Unfortunately, Jack still couldn't do it.

Kevin wore a completely sloppy sweater and trousers. Still, it suited him. His body had been getting fitter since he had begun his development and it looked as if his transformation was finally complete. Still, his torso showed no trace of the developed diamonds. He had learnt Skana's name. Now he was lying on his bed, thrusting his sword in and out of Jack's and Jace's arse. Or rather, poking, but the sword went in as deep as it could without tearing his trousers. which made it look like it went up his arse. Jace was so much faster than Kevin that he was unaffected, but Jack had to watch out for these sneak attacks, so he couldn't do his job.

"That's it! You stick that sword up my arse one more time and I'll twist it round and stick it up your arse!" said Jack. Jace nodded his head in agreement. The sword was passing through the shadows so Jack couldn't catch it. Jace didn't want to deal with it.

"Okay, okay, get dressed and let's go. I wonder where Kai is."

Kai laughed at the fact that Kevin still hadn't noticed him. The sound of laughter made Kevin and Jack look at Kai. Jace already knew that Kai had been there since he entered the house.

"You can't even tell if I'm here or not. How can you not recognise my muscles? It saddens me that you can't see my strength. Whereas this world would not recognise this handsome-"

"Enough, bro! Okay, you're the muscle. Shut up and let's go."

Kai chuckled. The others knew that Kai was going to do something to upset them about what had happened earlier. Jack and Kevin knew that better than the others.  If they refused, Kai would find a way to make them pay for their annoying behaviour. Now was no different. Of course, Kai had abandoned his old childish pranks and must have developed new ways of humiliating them.

As they prepared to leave, Kai immediately dropped the red robe he was wearing. He put on a green waist-length shirt and hung his black sword scabbard diagonally from his right shoulder to his left waist. He hung the sword on his back and wore brown wide trousers. When they set off, it was obvious to everyone that they were a very impressive looking group. On the way, Jace and Lena gave them information about District 2.

"People in District 2 are very arrogant. They are so arrogant that most of them don't even watch the District 1 Tournament. They all think you are superior to them. Every year they humiliate the people who move from District 1 to District 2 by pitting them against the weakest people of their age. Mostly the people from District 2 win these fights. Also, since these people are the weakest in District 2, they make you think that even the strongest person in District 1 cannot defeat the weakest and show the difference between them. But I think this thought will take a heavy blow this year. Even though each of them has been developing longer than you, it is not possible for them to resist Kai. "Jace said. The others laughed at that. Kai puffed out his chest and looked at Emma out of the corner of his eye. Emma, too, was trying to hide her shy smile, attracted to this funny and talented boy.

They were secretly trying to flirt. However, everyone there could see their little game.

People kept pointing at them as they passed on the road, but this started to diminish as time passed. They had arrived in the second district of the academy. Here people were just pointing fingers at Lena and Jace, whispering amongst themselves. Some of them realised that Kai and the others had come from District 1. But since they didn't care much about District 1 as Jace said, they didn't direct their attention to them.

This made Kai very unhappy. He took a small blow to his ego.

When they reached the corridors of District 2, Jace and Lena separated from them. They were third year. Of course they weren't going to the same class. As the 5 of them walked away alone, people were giving them condescending looks. Kai was surprised that their behaviour was so open. He did not expect them to have such direct looks. He was becoming more and more familiar with the rules of this world.

Even though Kai didn't know, the other 4 knew where to go. Their first lesson was a duel. The only reason the first lesson was a duel was because of the status of the people here. Their fathers or people they were close to supported them. In this way, they could arrange the lessons as they wanted. A class full of high-ranking people could easily change a lesson.

They knew that Kai and the others would be attending class today. They changed the lessons to humiliate Kai.

Kai didn't mind too much. It was obvious that they had made the change for them. But they were making a big mistake. The difference!! Kai was half a foot of orange lightning. Even if all the first years came, Kai could kill them all.

And not just him. Jack, Kevin, Melony and Emma were also very strong.

Jack kept getting energy into his body during his time with Milah. As Milah absorbed the energy that closed the veins in his body, Jack was able to absorb energy more easily. He was now in the centre of the blue lightning, but he knew that he was stronger than the people in Zone 2 who thrived sitting down.

Kevin also worked hard with Melony. Melony increased the distance and tried to get into Kevin's mind. Kevin was practising with Skana and at the same time trying to block Melony as she tried to get into his mind. After doing this with Melony for a day, they thought it was too easy and started to draw energy while doing this. Since they both had a strange way of drawing energy, their development was increasing at a high speed.

Kevin's body had an endless cycle. He was sucking the thread of the normal energy he received until it was dry. That's why the energy entering his body was 100 per cent pure. This made normal training much faster. Of course, he realised that this was abnormal at the end of his time here. This was a method that he should never have applied because he would have had difficulty drawing the energy needed for this into his body. But somehow he was doing it.

Melony was like Gray. She was not going her own way. At the same time, her soul was conscious in an unknown way. This meant she was a reincarnation. She was travelling the path of the soul when she should have been travelling the path of the mind. Although this should have slowed down his present development, his development did not slow down at all. On the contrary, it accelerated. This was also due to his reincarnation. Since the potential of his soul was very high, when he received mixed energy from his soul and nature, his potential became much higher. When he reached the 2nd step, his development speed would skyrocket once again. Kevin and Melony, like Jack, were about to cross into the centre of the centre of the blue lightning.

Emma was only at the peak of the beginning of blue lightning because she was in Michael's training. But her pure power and speed had increased in this one week. With the benefit of the mana weapon, her strength and speed became like a monster. He also started to draw energy while jogging 10 kilometres a day. Of course, since his running was much more painful, he drew energy more forcefully. 10 km was a very long distance. There was no accounting for the pain her body suffered while travelling such a long distance. She was a woman and not as physically strong as a man. Even in development, she was below men at the same level. But now that she was in a comfortable place, her energy absorption speed was much faster than the other three. She could not yet draw energy like Kai, but in the future, with Michael's training, she would reach a different level. Kai's blood was an unknown special blood. It travelled 4 paths at the same time. Although he did not know where his lineage came from, his energy veins were very wide and he drew a lot of energy. But even the energy he drew could not make him jump degrees.

Even where Kai was standing, he had made the other 3 people jump degrees with the energy he took for himself. Even Emma reached the centre of the blue lightning just as they were about to pass through the duel gate. In a word, Kai's energy absorption capacity was mind-boggling. If he hadn't developed so hard, he would have already broken through the orange lightning and would have been close to becoming a high-level warrior.

When 5 people walked through the door, everyone looked at them. There were 20 people inside. Every one of them was highly skilled and powerful. Kai could tell that they were stronger than the developmentalists in the tournament. Kai looked at them all and put on his evil smile. He could feel the arrogance in all of them, but none of them had the level of arrogance of this Kingslayer.

"The fun begins."
