Chapter 15 - Just According To Keikaku Pt. 1 (1/2)
That night, Xie Xie suggested that we go out to play again. This time, I refused to go. If I kept going out to play and neglect training, it would mean a lack of discipline on my part.
In the end, Xie Xie was rejected by everybody. Both Tang Wulin and Gu Yue wanted to cultivate.
I headed to the academy training field to practise my techniques. Normally, I wouldn't have been allowed to use the academy training field, but Wu Zhangkong helped me pull some strings as a form of compensation for skipping out in the tournament.
When I arrived at the training field, I stood in the centre while focusing. Under the bandana, a dim light glowed as I made use of the power of the King's Wisdom.
Inside my body, surges of electricity began forming at my core. From my core, it slowly flowed in all directions, moving to my arms, my legs, my organs and even my spinal cord. When the electricity reached every part of my body, I tried to move with the technique active.
In a sharp crack of thunder, I disappeared from my spot. In a fraction of a second, I reappeared ten metres away from my original position.
Fast! It was much faster than what I had expected. Deactivating the technique, I dropped to my knees as I had burned a lot of stamina from using it.
This was inspired by the technique Godspeed from HxH. The only difference between the two was that I wasn't glowing in electricity when it was active. I could do so, but it was a waste of energy and I didn't want people knowing about my abilities.
As a result that my technique had succeeded, I was in a really good mood. This was my first try using the technique, and I had succeeded. The control over electromagnetism with the King's Wisdom were really too strong.
The only weakness in that technique was that it was too loud, but that could naturally be fixed with some sound muffling. I didn't consider stamina drain to be a weakness since it was the same whenever I tried something new.
Suddenly, Tang Wulin's voice filled my ears. ”Huang Yu! Have you heard?” He, Xie Xie and Gu Yue were running in my direction.
I shifted my gaze in his direction, ”Heard about what?”
”There is a group of people at the academy gates. They're holding a picture of the four of us. We were thinking that it was related to what happened yesterday.”
”What?! Really!” I was actually surprised, not by the fact that those people were here of course. I was surprised that they actually reacted so quickly. I thought that they would have taken a few more days to gather up strength before coming here.
Well this was a nice turn of events for me. This night is continuing splendidly for me.
”Have you guys told Teacher Wu about this? I'm sure that he will help us if we explain to him what happened.”
Gu Yue answered this time. ”Not yet. We were going to do that but we came looking for you first since you weren't with us.”
I gave a smile. ”Thanks! Now let's go find Teacher Wu.”
Wu Zhangkong's schedule was really strict. Everyday after dinner, he would immediately go cultivate so it wasn't difficult to find him.
Wu Zhangkong, dressed in a traditional white chang pao, opened the door. When he saw us, he coldly asked, ”What cultivation questions do you have?”
Tang Wulin answered, ”Teacher Wu, we've caused some trouble...” He then proceeded to retell the events that occurred the night before.
Wu Zhangkong finished listening with an indifferent expression. Tang Wulin, Xie Xie and Gu Yue seemed a bit afraid that Wu Zhangkong wouldn't help them with this problem. I wasn't though. I had a rough idea about his character, so I knew that he definitely would.
”It seems you guys have some ability.” Having said this, Wu Zhangkong walked over. I had to admit, under the moonlight, with the colour of his blue hair, he looked pretty damn cool. No homo tho.
We followed Wu Zhangkong who headed towards the academy's great gates.
Outside of Eastsea Academy's great gates was a really, really big crowd with at least two hundred buff men holding all sorts of weapons. Some of them were particularly daring, holding onto federation prohibited spirit devices.
Seeing this, I almost couldn't keep a smile from appearing on my face.
I knew it. Those guys wouldn't dare to enter the academy. No matter what, this was an academy full of spirit masters. If they came in, the school would instantly get a casus belli to destroy them out of self-defense. They only dared to come because of Guang Biao. Still, all they could do was cause a ruckus outside the school.
I noticed that around the front there were a few burly men carrying a stretcher. On it was a man completely wrapped from head to toe with gauze. I guess I really did a number on him huh.
At the very forefront, stood a man two metres tall and had an extremely stalwart body. He looked almost the same as Guang Long, except that he had sideburns and was more buff. From the info I collected, this guy should be Guang Biao.
”What kind of people are you, to actually dare to cause trouble in front of the academy?” Right at this moment, a furious voice called out. It was Long Hengxue with ten teachers behind him.
Yes! This was just as keikaku!
