Chapter 12 Recruitment
He had a dream.
He dreamt about a young servant that was born to serve the young son of the Duke. Even though his own father was the Duke, his mother was a maid. She had no status and for n.o.bles, she was just a plaything… But the little servant didn"t know anything of that. He was working really hard for his mother. They told him to fulfil the every needs of his young master, so he had absorbed every knowledge needed. To fight for him and to protect, to satisfy his desires. But even he, who was a mere servant had a desire…
"To fall asleep in his mother"s embrace after all those hard works…"
Xue Ren opened his eyes in the middle of the night. His sleepy eyes were s.h.i.+ning with deep red color. The past of Endrun has slowly started appearing… He once more closed his eyes as to fall asleep, burying his head into Sho Yue"s bosom. The posture looked similar to that of vampire mother"s and son…
School…
It wasn"t something unfamiliar, but Xue Ren truly hadn"t expected to go there so soon… One month already had pa.s.sed and the young man was now meeting the librarian. Zhi Shendra only made a brief introduction about schools here and told him to not tell about their collaboration. He was in a happy mood, because he has learned a lot of new knowledge from the youngster.
After talking for a while, Xue Ren finally left to go to school. Arriving at the school gates, he already saw a lot of people similar to his age. Because of the little black cat in his hands, he got quite a attention. Many of them sneered at him, they definitely thought Xue Ren was childish, little villager… He lined up in que to the recruitment room and quietly waited for his turn.
Then, finally, Xue Ren turn came over.
Upon entering the room, he noticed three man sitting before the table. One of them released his awareness to check Xue Ren"s humanity… Because of the ring, he could only sense Xue Ren"s magic power, thus everything was fine. Other one asked about his origins with strange stone in his hand. Actually, its main job was to detect hostile intentions and lies… Of course, Xue Ren has been prepared by Zhi Shendra. With countermeasure in his pocket, the gem that could deceive!
Everything was progressing well, rather easily. The recruitment itself was easy, one had to have clear ident.i.ty and be human… In this school full of n.o.bles and commoners, the hard thing was to be at the top. Then, third man slowly stood up, it was time to spar. Xue Ren didn"t have to win this spar, rather it was needed to a.s.sign him to proper cla.s.s… Facing the man, he was ready to fight, but before the fight could even began, a young voice resounded through the room.
"Really? This year the Di School is going to recruit a lot of clowns…" The one who said that looked the same age as Xue Ren. He had n.o.ble clothes and cheeky smile…
Xue ren who saw him didn"t know that it was third young master of Li Family. But the examiners clearly knew about this playful brat. Even though it was Di Family territory, to avoid unwanted troubles, they didn"t dare to offend him… The young n.o.ble knew that, so he pushed off the man who was prepared to spar and with c.o.c.ky smile said…
"I am quite benevolent person, so I will help you in your job…" and so, the young one pounced at him without any signal at all. But Xue Ren was fast enough to block his fist. Blocking, parrying, kicking… they engrossed themselves into a fight. It was the first time for Xue Ren to fight a human, at first he was quite nervous, but after fighting for a while, all stress and tense atmosphere disappeared. Their attacks released caused the air to shake. Shockwaves filled the room… The young master of Li Family was quite enraged and ashamed… The one who he had called the clown was keeping with him in terms of speed! Although he wasn"t using any techniques except simple magic release through the hands, the movement technique was going on full power! The clown was even a bit faster! "HOW?!" He screamed deep inside as he noticed the little black cat on top of clown"s head. The black cat looked at him with disdain and he could clearly feel that…
On the other side, Xue Ren was filled with immense happiness. His attacks were working and his speed was on par with the young n.o.ble! He knew that everything he had was given to him…
Because he was from Zero World…
Because he had Divine energy deep inside his heart…
Because of Destiny…
That"s why he has been working really hard to raise his energies, to reach the first level of Starlight Movement. With everything that has been given to him, he wanted to answer all those expectations, to become a man worthy of her! To achieve their goals… Then, the memories of one of his past selves started appearing… The young vampire who had been bullied by older absorbed their every knowledge and movement… To become stronger… and so Xue Ren had accepted his past and absorbed the young servant memories and expriences! After living with Black Tigress, the importance of his humanity became less and less important with every day he had spent with her. He was himself no matter what. He was Xue Ren! With smile, he continued fighting the young n.o.ble…
But the young n.o.ble obviously wasn"t happy at all. He also had his limitations… If he used his techniques on someone who wasn"t even disciple of Di School yet, his father would literally kill him…
Of course, he wasn"t losing fight at all, but they were equal.
Yes, they were equal…
The young n.o.ble who was slowly losing his mind, suddenly changed his trajectory.
He who was supposed to be fighting Xue Ren had attacked the little black cat on his head…
