One day to trials...
Goddess, aren't you going to see your opponents? Bee asked.
I'd rather face them Head on to see their power rather than investigating them and acquiring past information... tempest reasoned
But you have platinum level clearance of information. You can acquire any information about anyone world-wide..bee said
Can I acquire about Mr nocturne?
No
Then shut up. I have already reached the peak sixth rank of the mid realm and my foundation is of that stage. I want a fight. A real one... Tempest said with excitement.
The door bell rang and bee opened the door. Manager nicholai together with a woman stepped in. Tempest had already equipped her mask.
When manager nicholai saw her cultivation level, his knees buckled and he knelt on the ground.
How? You have already advanced to the middle realm within a weak? And at the peak of sixth rank at that! You are a monster!
Tempest looked at the kneeling guy. Really looked then her gaze turned to the woman
No need to wear your mask, we already know your face...the woman spoke then added... I am haven orchard. Head chancellor of sky domain academy..
She bowed shocking tempest. Tempest stopped her.
I should be the one bowing..tempest said worriedly
I wouldn't dare to let you bow to me. I would be killed...she said horrified with a shudder
Tempest wanted to question but she guessed it had something to do with Mr nocturne. This made her more and more eager to know about him. Tempest removed her mask
Please sit....tempest welcomed them to the massive couch in the living room which had a high ceiling. The few days that she had stayed here, it looked warm and cozy. A welcoming atmosphere.
You...have set up a platinum tier security?...lady haven asked astonished but tempest sighed.
I wanted an obsidian tier security but I was told that was for royalty...tempest said making them gape
Yeah right. Time for others to receive the killing blow. If it wasn't for me being an AI, I would have died long ago due to shock...bee thought confusing tempest
Maybe we should convey that matter to master nocturne...manager nicholai said thoughtfully...
Don't worry, I will tell him about it for you...lady haven said holding her hands like a mother soothing her daughter
Tempest smiled for the first time. It was faint uplift from one side of her lips but still, count it as a smile.
So what do I owe you guys the visit... tempest asked
The head chancellor wanted to meet you, a prodigy that attracted the mighty master nocturne's attention...manager nicholai said pointing towards lady haven
Why don't we exchange our contact? Lady haven suggestes and she agreed. She also beckoned manager nicholai to give her his contact info and he reluctantly gave it to her.
After chatting and eating dinner with them, they left.
Are you going back to cultivate goddess? Bee asked her
She shook her head and stretched with a yawn. Afterwards, she went to her room to rest.
The next day...
She arrived at the colosseum where many people were converged in the colosseum. At the center of the colosseum, was a portal which piqued tempest's attention
Suddenly, a commotion rose. Two people walked in wearing expensive fighting gear drawing everyone's attention. Tempest, who hadn't reach inside the colosseum looked with interest
One of them was Lily star, the lady she encountered at the three rivers town not long ago. She had a smug and proud expression as she passed through the crowd who gave way to them.
We meet again... Eighth rank, you have busy...too bad the foundation is at sixth rank...tempest mumbled as she assessed her
Beside her, was a man who was on a black gear and a golden sword sheath around his waist. Tempest saw a particular crest on his chest which made her guess that he was royalty.
A prince...first rank in mid realm...not bad. At least the lady has some taste...
Afterwards, two other girls also drew the attention of the onlookers. They were twins with red hair and golden eyes. The Phoenix twins, their label. Their flames was known to be as bright and powerful as the Phoenix flame.
Peak tenth rank of the low realm, interesting
After the twins, were other people that tempest stopped paying attention. She was looking all this from her hidden spaceship in the sky. It was invisible to all.
Let's go in style...I have been dreaming to do this .. tempest said excitedly then jumped from the spaceship
The powerful cultivators detected her earlier and looked towards the sky as she was falling. Other cultivators then started looking up with astonished gazes.
She landed gracefully on the ground of the colosseum causing a huge dust to float. She was in black gear robes, her mask on, hair turned into a ponytail
People began to recognize her as the hidden big shot who bought a spaceship.
Tempest scanned the crowd before her then her attention turned towards a familiar aura.
He's here...tempest said then looked up.
Floating towards her was the head chancellor together with other masters including master nocturne. Her attention was on master nocturne only. He also wore black robes which had dragon patterned embroidery. His broad shoulders and chest still visible. The robes made him look more elegant. The suit he wore that day had made him to look menacing and dangerous.
When he reached the ground, he walked towards her then raised her hand patting on her head
He was taller than her but she was too busy admiring the man to notice
You have grown stronger. I am proud of you...he said
Her heart almost stopped as she continued to stare silently
God, his voice was magnetic. A deep baritone that made tempest's mind go crazy. The voice resonated In the silent colosseum. People were holding their breath
Senior brother... tempest said excited. The excitement was almost not visible in her voice but master nocturne saw it through her eyes. He could see the admiration in them
Did you get my welcome present? He asked and she nodded
I loved it..she said and he chuckled then lightly pinched on her nose
His chuckle was melodious.
I will wait for you.. he said then immediately vanished
God that scent...tempest thought dreaming
Goddess, there are a lot of people watching you...bee reminded her
She then composed herself.
Has anyone noticed me losing my composure? Tempest asked bee
Apart from master nocturne, no one else...bee reported
Good.
She turned to face the masters
Tempest was shocked to find them staring at her as if she was a piece of tasty meat. Tempest involuntarily shuddered
WELCOME EVERYONE TO THE TRIALS!...
