Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 7 - My Talent My Magic My Desire



From the outside, the building looked like a cathedral with three towers surrounding the main building. The door of the main building was huge and made of sturdy wood, however, there seemed to be no handle on it. Apparently, one couldn't come and go as they pleased in this building, only people with the license from Crux could enter it.

The seven people gathered in front of the entrance.

"Open!" said Crux.

.

.

.

There was no reaction at all.

"Open!!" said Crux once again, but still, no reaction.

"OPEN!!!" shouted Crux while rising his staff into the air.

.

.

.

A growling sound was heard.

"Ah finally," said Chun.

A smile also appeared on Crux's face.

.

.

.

But the door still closed.

"Sorry that was me, I haven't eaten yet since yesterday hehe," said Lyon while scratching his head.

The rest of the gang were disappointed once more, especially Crux.

"Hey bald old man, how come you cannot open your own door?" said Chun.

"Did you forgot the key?" asked Charlie.

"There is no key to the door, there isn't even a handle or a keyhole at that matter."

"How about the license? Don't you need it?" asked Charlie

"No, I don't need it cause I made this door myself."

"Then what's the problem?" asked Charlie.

"Oh wait I know, it's your voice old man HAHAHA," said Chun.

"What? no way that's the problem" denied Crux, but only getting a nod from the rest of the gang.

The door slowly became transparent and revealed a middle-aged man. "Ah that's it for today I guess, I'm gonna continue tomorrow. Oh, master Crux what are you-"

"Quick everyone, get inside!" yelled Crux.

Everyone rushed to the door like it was made of gold.

"Get out of the way!" said Chun as he threw the middle-aged man outside.

The door slowly became solid once more.

*thud

"Aww, what the hell was that for!!" shouted the middle-aged man outside the door.

Inside the building was actually warm, bookcases were surrounding the wall neatly. There were flying fires that could be seen moving to illuminate the room but strangely it never burned the books.

The second floor could be seen from the ground floor, however, the third floor couldn't. The third floor was not exactly a floor, to be exact it's a room as big as a common bedroom and it's right in the middle-top of the building.

The ground floor had a wide staircase that led to the upper floor halfway then split into two ways, one was to the second floor while the other one spiraled its way through the room.

At the center of the ground floor, there were three hollowed windows. Each window had the same use, to detect aptitude. Many body-tempering leveled young men and women took a queue using it while three middle-aged men could be seen assessing the group.

One of the young men in the group looked different than the other. He had a red crew-cut hair and a pointy nose. His diamond-face and fiery temper could make people feel threatened. The eagle-like eyebrow matched perfectly on his round-serious eyes and thin mouth.

He had a very tall figure and looked prideful all the time. He wore like many other, the Nostria academy uniform. Hanging in his back was a two-handed sword that abnormally big for a human to use. His name was Martis the best young swordsman in the academy. He had already reached the Transformation Realm level 6th when he was 18.

"Hey hurry up already! I want to go back to my training!" shouted Martis, making everyone around him scared.

Three middle-aged men were frowning at his attitude and wanted to rebuke, but hold it instead when the gentle voice of a young woman came.

"Don't cause ruckus Martis, or you will be disciplined." said a young woman coming out from the crowd.

She had a gorgeous figure of a young noble lady and a cute oval face. Her white skin was as pure white snow in the mountain and her ears were not so big but not so small either. The little nose of her was really cute, people couldn't help but rush over and pinched. Her violet eyes and bright-cherry lips betrayed her calm personality. She had a long violet-orchid hair with twin tail style draped on to her shoulder.

The undeveloped breast and short stature were like an unpolished diamond waiting to shine when the time was ripe. Her name was Luna, the class president and chairman of the student body in the academy. She held the title of 'Godmother' because she once led an army under Fei's order to unearth bandits in the forest, the army was made of students. She was at the 3rd level of Heaven Realm.

"I-I'm sorry president," said Martis while giving a slight bow.

"It's good that you understand," nodded Luna.

Lyon's group approach the three middle-aged men assessing the group.

"G-Good afternoon O being of the great, the best magician, the best teacher, dungeon crawler, living legend, harem master, dragon peni-"

*Ehem

Cough Crux as he signaled them to stop.

Black lines were covering the surrounding people especially the student, as they whispered between themselves saying 'scumbag', 'pervert', 'shameless', 'just die already', 'old senile got style haha', the last one was Lyon's own thought.

Before Chun had the time to make fun of Crux, Crux raised his staff and a window of similar traits came down from the room above.

"This is a special aptitude detector for heaven realm and above, place your hand and do not transfer heaven and world energy into it or it will break," said Crux.

"Hmm? why don't we just use the usual window instead?" said Sylviana.

"What are you talking about little Sylvi? he is a level 9 Heaven Realm cultivator," said Crux.

The surrounding people except for Lyon and the trio C were surprised. He looked only 20 years old or less and he was already a level nine Heaven Realm cultivator?! What kind of joke is this?

"But you don't know anything about cultivation before right?! How could you become level 9 already?" said Sylviana frantically.

"Greatest genius is not all talk you know," said Lyon with his smug face.

"But you got impaled by a spear on your butt tho," said Sylviana.

The surrounding crowd heard their conversation and they start discussing God's butt all over the place.

"Would you mind not to mention that again?" said Lyon as his hand wanted to rip apart her lips.

"Okay enough just touch the window kid," said Chun.

"Alright," said Lyon as he laid his palm on the window hollow surface.

*ripple

The window showed ripples for a second then it stopped reacting.

"Hmm? no fire? no ice? no wind? anything?" said Fei curiously.

"Usually the window will give a sign, like a fire there will be actual flame inside the window," said Charlie.

"Wait, this kind of reaction is somehow familiar," said Charlie.

Then the trio C seems to realize something at the same time, their pupils become shrunk as they looked at each other.

"Do you still have the book?! bring it here," said Chun hurriedly to Crux.

"On it," said Crux as he raised his staff. Then a book that looked old came down slowly.

"W-What is it??" asked Sylviana.

"When the three of us were young, we explored the dark continent a bit to challenge ourselves." Charlie then took a deep breath. "In there we luckily found the forbidden library, the Sin Library, the library that always moved around the world. There was actually no bookcase at all in that place. But we manage to found one book before we got kicked out by the place.

The book we found was not a skill, not a spell either but a story. A story of over ten thousand years ago. Sadly the pages are incomplete but we manage to read some of it. It's a story about a man, a powerful, powerful man, he had attained the myth Divine Realm when he is only 40 years old!" This news shocked the people around him.

"Where is that page? ah here it is, 'The young man put his palm on the hollow side of the window but nothing came out of it, only ripples. But this situation didn't last long, the next moment.." said Chun hurriedly.

A fire was burning vigorously inside the window, A thunderous cloud accompanied by the wind and water creating maelstrom.

Light pierced through the cloud and shine the world and the fire got darker and darker seeming to be able to burn the souls of the dead.

Before the elements engulfed in chaos, the sky inside the window cracked revealing a hollowed space. As they become more and more chaotic, the events became slower and slower then it stopped. As the surrounding thought, it was over, the reaction actually rewinds the event to the state it was before, ripples. Then when the ripples showed up once again, the true element showed up, it was,

"The World," said Chun dumbstruck.
