[School Na Scam]NIGERIAN YOUTH PROVERB
The idea of packing for a trip is all well and nice, but when you"re dumping all of your clothes into a storage ring it was a winder if this could still be considered packing. Alex paused for a minute to contemplate if this sort of action should have a different name of if it still counted as packing up for school, well there"s nothing to be done, it"s not as if he had time to discuss the philosophical difference between using a bag and storage ring to pack, that would be too easy for people to come. To a conclusion about, Storage ring good, bags are a waste of time and energy.
Books about Alchemy, Blacksmithing and Arrays sat on one side of his bed, while the books in the sect were limited edition, the books at the academy were a compiled experience of every cultivation discipline and from all over the world and from different sects, schools, organizations and kingdoms.
The knowledge there was richer, so it would be quite redundant for Alex to carry all these along. But what he could carry along were the broken pieces of West Wind and East cloud, along with his new spear, and the boat load of precious ores his father had left behind as a gift, it was a chance for him to properly reforge his swords, but not just that he left a couple of paintings behind too and if Alex didn"t know better, he would say it looked like a refined version of the (Four seasons of the Weeping world) weapon skills, and a bunch of others things Alex didn"t recognize.
There was a letter, but Alex hadn"t mustered up the courage to open it yet, but there was still time. Also Alex was rich, a lot of people gave precious materials, priceless treasures of basically really expensive s.h.i.t that Alex didn"t need as gifts for his fifteenth birthday, he couldn"t imagine what next year"s birthday would be like when he"s officially considered an adult. Either way School Fan and Laozi had taken most of the gifts to an auction house in Beijing, the one"s that were really value and had sentimental value were kept in Alex"s non-existent treasure vault, to be kept there for safe keeping until he has need for it.
"Are you ready?" Alex turned at Louis"s voice, while a pouting Yun Fao stood behind him, with a look that could kill. Alex couldn"t help smiling as he spoke to them.
"Yes Louis I"m ready, and Yun Fao what"s with the long face, you can take the Academy"s exam in six months and come join us, I"m sure you"ll pa.s.s with ease."
"But by then you and Louis along with the young mistress and Xiao Mei... Ahhh I mean lady Xiao Mei would be way ahead of me!" Yun Fao complained.
"First of All Yun Fao, Xiao Mei is already way ahead of all of us, she"s a third year student after all, she only took some time off to do a few missions for the academy and to handle things with the Emei sect. As for Louis, I know you"re upset he was chosen over you, but grandfather felt we needed his big brain to go set things up for when you and the triplets come over. Besides the sect only has four guaranteed early entry spots, two of which belongs to the Zhang clan. Anya makes up for the brawns, we need a thinker to complete the trifecta, and that"s Louis."
"Right basically you"re saying I"m dumb!" Yun Fao spat out.
"He"s not saying you"re dumb, he"s just saying you"re a big stupid lumbering giant without a single hint of finesse in any of your actions, and I think...arck!"
Alex ignored Louis who was currently being strangled by and say upon by a now six foot tall seventeen years old Yun Fao, not to mention he was ripped with muscles that would make even the toughest of men weak in the knees with fear. He probably wouldn"t hurt Louis too much, as he thought so Alex turned to see a purple faced Louis stretching out an arm to him..."yeah probably".
Alex walked out to an Airship parked on his mountain peak, or rather it would be better to call it an Airbus, it took a while for the rest of them to understand that the correct terms for vehicles had to coincide with their size, shape and functionality. So in that regard there were hover board, Air bikes, air cars, Air buses, and then air ship"s. There were also s.p.a.ce faring vessels, but with the existence of spatial gates, the use of s.p.a.ce ships seem like a waste.
They would be transported to the city of Hong Kong, though they wouldn"t had much time to see the city as they would be stopping on a tower owned by the academy, before boarding the Academy"s own transport air ship all the way to the heart of the kingdom of Australia, all the way out in the Australian outback where canyons and ravines were the norm. It was here the academy was built, and where for the foreseeable future Alex would live and build his power, because while the academy trained a joint force of fighters from all around the world to combat threats, the academy is also the place where alliances are made and followers are gained.
No one who goes to that Academy is not considered a peak talent, and then there were those without talent, but with reputation and influence, a political bit spot for the next generation to make their bones. Alex will go there to study for at least a year or two, before taking control of the army the Emperor had given him and proceeding on his dimensional conquest, but before that, he had to make allies, make connections not just for himself, but also for the princess to help her develop a secure foothold on both thrones and to have support for the inevitable war that Alex knew would happen.
"Feng"er where"s Louis? It"s time to leave." His uncle asked as he looked behind Alex, being responsible with delivering the children to their destination.
"Don"t worry he"s being mauled by a human bear, so he shouldn"t take long anyways." Alex said to him, Zhang
Alex moved into the air bus and took a seat behind Anya as she sat ahead with his sister talking animatedly about G.o.d knows what. Unlike the previous day"s and months of tension by the seemingly insurmountable enemy and task they had ahead of them, today she seemed completely at ease and excited for the journey to come, so to was Alex. He leaned back in the seat waiting for the bus to finally start moving, he didn"t have to wait long as seconds later, a black eyed Louis came in to take a seat besides him, followed closely behind by a stoic looking Lu Wan and Alex"s Opponent during the open meridian sect compet.i.tion. And then the bus moved, taking them to new lands and on to new adventures.

SOMEWHERE IN THE VASTNESS OF s.p.a.cE
WITHIN THE DEEPEST REACHES OF THE COSMOS
THE WORLD TREE
Nirkelik loved his home, it was the greenest of green, the purest of nature and a marvel of magic and arcane technology. It was hard for such a thing to not come about, better all the elves were such long lived and intelligent creatures; that advancement was all but guaranteed. And Nirkelik relished every chance he got to come home, every opportunity given to see the great plains of the Shon"da"Kar, the eyrie of the Silver Griffins, the great pearl ocean and the blessed mountains of Moi"eon"Ker, and above all the magnificent world tree and the city built from the deepest creva.s.se of it"s roots, to the highest branch of it"s trunk...…Sumerkran (the city of a thousand summers!).
But he wasn"t home just to admire the sights he had grown up amongst, his king and queen had requirements of him, and he would happily deliver as was his duty as Special agent of Fae"Ran! Blessed world of the Fae.
Nirkelik sat poised on his wooden stool, the thrones of life and light a few dozen meters in front of him. Forged, and carved out from the heart seed of the world tree itself, even from this distance he could feel the immense power those thrones had and the energy that came off the runic script that dotted it"s entire frame. The power to control the seasons and elements of this world, the ability to move it through the void across great distances and reached of s.p.a.ce, all nestled in two very pretty chairs….. fascinating.
"Nirkelik give your report! The king and Queen can not be here in person, but they"re connected by means of a magical connection, please explain more about the breakthrough you discovered and mentioned in your previous letters."
He was alone in the throne room, all that could keep him company was the sounds of breathing, to prove that truly there were people listening to him, and whether they were the king and queen or not, it still remains to be seen. He had hoped to finally get the chance to see the people he lays his life on the line for everyday, but nothing! However he was a dutiful soldier, and he wouldn"t back down from his responsibilities.
"The Emperor of the Empire of Heaven has found very important clues about the true pathway to G.o.dhood, though not much is know about it...yet, I"ve been able to confirm with an 95.77764.9488393% that it has to do with one Alexander Zhang Xiao Feng Alé. And extraordinarily talented boy who is believed to be a direct descendant of her powerful ancient G.o.ds, and he"s capable of calling them forth from the world beyond the veil."
"Wait what! Explain it clearly to me loyal warrior, what do you mean?" he knew that voice, it was the voice of the Elven king, and hearing it, had renewed his deal, but there wasn"t much to say but to hit the nail on the head.
"Zhang Xiao Feng of the Zhang Clan of The Wudang Sect has the power and ability to make a G.o.d descend with all of his or her powers, onto the world in the form of a possession! He is the secret to G.o.dhood!"
