Suddenly a man in front of her eyes started screaming. His body enveloped huge fireball and as most of the apprentices in the sect suddenly stood shocked, those that were together with Kendra in the other world stood there completely quiet.But as time pa.s.sed they all realized the strangeness of the situation. Their Headmaster was famously extremely powerful. That is the reason no one tried to attack their guild and destroy it. Him being captured inside a simple fireball and not being able to exit, that is not normal.
A few young men suddenly appeared next to fireball and looked weirdly at calm looking sect members. ""You all are weird. Are you not going to help your Headmaster.""
Kendra shrugged. ""That is just mixed Rainfireball. Nothing strong. Helping him? If he were real Headmaster such a simple thing would be nothing.""
""What is Rainfireball?"" the young man came closer and suddenly was enveloped into the same fireball.
Aella chuckled while others looked at her weirdly. ""I just came and strangely Headmaster is someone so weak? Its just two powers mixed as one. Sigh."" She rolled her eyes and watched the two men squirming in pain inside the fireb.a.l.l.s.
A young woman next to her pointed at them. ""Is it painful?""
Aella shrugged. ""I don"t know. Who is crazy enough to try such power on himself. I am not.""
The young woman stared at her with open mouth. ""I meant just...""
Aella turned her head towards her. ""Your questions are not logical. Why would I or anyone normal try out power on ourselves? If you want to find out is it painful, no problem. I can ask our Senior, to let you taste some of it."" She pointed ta Kendra.
Kendra turned her head as she was not far away and rolled her eyes. ""It is painful. Not going to try it out on our own sect members.""
The few young men that approached pointed at the man that was squirming inside the fireball. ""But he is our member as well.""
Kimi shook her head. ""I never met him. How long do you know him?""
They pointed at each other. ""He came with him..."" But then realized that none of them really knew him. ""But how...?""
Kendra shook her head. ""I guess someone here didn"t set up the formation properly. They pa.s.sed through the glitch in it. I will reset the formation in a few moments and all those that are not members of our sect will burn in these fireb.a.l.l.s. All those that are not have pa.s.sed the test but just applied will bel kicked out the sect. From today on if you can"t solve such a simple task, then there is no need to stay with us. There wont be any servants or similar personnel in our sect. Lazy cultivators will not be tolerated. Those that learn slowly are different. Some people learn faster some slower. But laziness won"t be tolerated anymore. Cultivators that pa.s.sed the test won"t have to do any servant jobs. You all will get paid by the new system and by doing many tasks.""
Her voice resonated through the whole place reaching every single corner of it. Suddenly a bunch of people came out and started begging. ""We are lowly cultivators and we have no place to go. Please, save us.""
Kendra nodded. ""There will be tests in three days. Commoners will be transported to the new village nearby. Cultivators will be tested by their strength, cultivation level and many more. then we will make a new system. But no matter what... I do not wish to see even one of our cultivators wasting time to be someone"s servant.If I find someone doing that, I will kick both people. This is one and only warning. If you cant clean your room using your powers, use your hands and if you are too lazy to do that... get out this sect. As I said, I do not accept any laziness.""
Hearing her words and seeing her cold face everyone became surprised.
""What about our Headmaster? Who are you to order us?"" A voice could be heard as a group of young people stared at her in anger.
""Who I am? I am a new Headmaster. The old person chose to go and set up everything for next compet.i.tion. When he comes back he will get his rule again. I hate to be bothered with such stuff as I prefer cultivating. Now, let me start.""
Suddenly hundreds of Eyes spread around them scanning them and showing their current cultivation levels. Looking at many of them being just somewhat better than common cultivators Kendra"s face became dark.
She suddenly started shouting. ""What is this? Hah! You are in this place for almost three hundred years and your progress became just a tad bit better than common cultivator? And you had a face to make those over there to serve you? Aren"t you ashamed?""
The girl that protested paled. ""I am better than them. My parents...""
""I do not CARE who are your parents. the moment you become a sect member, your parents, past, lovers, families are secondary. If you think your family can find you a better place to cultivate, please leave now!"" She pointed at the gate she opened for everyone who wanted to leave. ""I will not stop you. I will even send you back home with all you have as your property. Three hundred years! Seriously?"" If she showed at least some progress she wouldn"t be so angry.
But looking at the results from other cultivators her face became even more furious. She tried to calm herself down. ""Could someone please, anyone, explain to me why are all of your progress so slow?""
Olek came closer and sighed. ""Actually, our all cultivation was slow. Mine as well. That is the reason we took that offer to go to the new world. Somehow as higher you get, as slower your cultivation proceeds.""
Kendra started walking here and there and pointed to the girl. ""You, tell me. What is your excuse? And do note even dare to tell me it"s for the same reason others had.""
the girl pressed her lips but then stepped forward. ""I actually had good cultivation progress, until I came to this sect. Then it suddenly somehow... didn"t matter anymore. I feel all the time drained of energy and when I try to cultivate I can"t concentrate.""
""Drained? Oh... How long is this happening?"" Kendra came closer and patted her head slightly.
The girl was stunned but still answered. ""Since the beginning.""
Isaa suddenly turned her head towards the main building up in the sky and shouted. ""You think she doesn"t know. You better come down or you will have even more pain as those two of your buddies in Rainfireball.""
Suddenly a woman appeared in front of Kendra but was stunned that she had absolutely no connection to her. ""You are a bit difficult, but not as..."" But suddenly stopped. She froze in movement and speech.
Everyone at first stared at her in wonder but suddenly she started changing. And ugly eye popped in mid of her head and two mouths on her cheeks. ""Who are you and why are you waking me up?""
""I am new Headmaster."" Kendra got closer and poked the cheek. Suddenly a work squirmed out and started screeching. She waved her hand and it turned it into the dust.
Her eyes went to the other mouth and it started begging. ""Please, I was ordered to do this. Please...""
""Ordered? I met your kind before. Your kind is strong enough to deny any order and live a proper life if they want. You drained lifeforce out these people and you want me to give up sending you into eternal fire h.e.l.l? Why should I? You can"t give me anything that can repair their lost cultivation."" Kendra was about tow ave her hand when the creature slowly crawled out the woman"s body.
But what they saw was even more strange. It was not a common worm she saw before. It was almost humanoid. Four wiggling tentacles and a long body with a mouth and one big eye and as it seems thousands of smaller eyes. It slowly left the woman"s body and walked slowly towards Kendra.
Everyone stepped back as they could feel huge pressure coming from this creature. It stopped in front of her and moved its eye to see her better. ""STrange. What are you? I can"t even control you a bit. After living for such a long time, this is the first time I really want to possess someone. Just to see what kind of power you hold.""
But moments later it started screeching. ""Stop, its a joke. Just fun, joke, joke jokeee!""
Kendra calmly looked at her perfect nails and nodded. ""Yep, you make a joke I make you a joke. Pain is funny, isn"t it?""
the creature hissed at her and jumped, but then change direction towards the young woman. But when it thought it was about to be close it hit an invisible wall and bounced back. With tentacles, it felt the wall while from the other side the young cultivator stood frozen in fear.
""What is this? How can a simple wall stop me?"" It started to enlarge its tentacles as suddenly more and more tentacles left its body. The cultivators stood there completely petrified as they could see the tentacles spreading moe and more...
