— Hey brother, don't you think you should know when to stop? Just because I'm adorable and respect you doesn't mean I can't make you bleed.

Jia-Li closed her eyes and took two steps forward, her fans began to glow in a purple hue, she brought them both together and made a movement with her wrists making sharp gusts of wind go towards the boy in front of her who was breathing quickly and panting.

— No way, if you're going to be defeated, it's a complete defeat.

Huo-Lei smiled, he couldn't dodge the blows, the only alternative was to turn around and let his back receive the blasts since it was the place on his body with the least damage suffered so far.

After feeling the blasts penetrate his skin and draw threads of blood cutting through his clothes, the boy knelt down with one of his legs, dropping his sword.

— Reckless! Didn't Fang-Lei tell you to retreat when the time was right?

— Yeah, yeah, I don't think this is the right time.

Upon seeing Jia-Li with her guard down, thinking that she had defeated him, Huo-Lei, still with her back turned, jerked backwards, grabbing her sword, and, turning quickly, threw it at incredible speed against her half sister, a Dark blue aura came out of the weapon, but Jia-Li sighed while shaking her head.

— It's not up to you to decide that.

The girl made a movement with her head and a strong aura emanated from her body, causing the boy's blade to fall onto the wooden floor, making a loud creak.

— Hey, it's not fair, we decided not to use our IQs.

— You just put IQ on your sword and you want to tell me about it!?

Raging, the girl approached Huo-Lei, who was barely able to stand up, and punched him in the head.

— Go easy on someone you just beat up!

— You are very naive, brother, fighting just using your 'brute' strength against someone two layers above you... Don't think that real life is like a story and you are not a protagonist.

— Um, I know, but this time I lasted a lot, didn't I?

— Considering you're not lying on the floor, I can say yes.

Jia-Li helped her brother to get up, they were both in the eighth hall of the Silver Sky Sect, as it was almost dawn, there was no one around, in fact, they were not allowed to leave their rooms at that time, but this it was the only way they could train, considering that several other students chased them during classes and free training times.

— Well now, I knew something was wrong! Today you didn't even ask to let them train in the pavilion, I knew there was something! You know what happens to those who break the sect's rules, right?

At the door of the hall, three young men of average height appeared, all wearing the same Silver Sky Sect uniform, they were older than Huo-Lei and Jia-Li who were 18 years old each, they were in the penultimate year of the academy and were of the group that hated the two brothers.

— Wait, but doesn't that concern you too? Aren't you here?

Huo-Lei pointed at the three who looked at each other and realized that they were also breaking the rules of not going out.

— N-it doesn't matter! We came here because we knew you two were going to get into trouble, and who knew it was for training. Don't you know that using IQ at this time can attract magical beasts?

The boy who said this was the one in front, apparently the 'leader' of the group, his short black hair revealed his pimpled face and sunken eyes close to the dark circles.

— And why do you say that? We came here for the same reason, when we arrived here we found the three of you training, at least that's what we're going to tell the director.

Jia-Li held Huo-Lei's arm with the intention of ignoring the boys and leaving that place, but one of them blocked in front of both of them.

- How it is!? Do you think you can act like that in front of us? You!?

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

— You know we're stronger, you only act like that because you have a small group of idiots and support from the teachers, but in a one-on-one you can't even last 10 seconds.

— Hahahaha!!!! Did you hear that brothers? Failure Huo-Lei is trying to challenge us! You're only still at the academy out of pity for the director! Two children of a murderess and a demonic profane should not even set foot on the edges of the sect.

Before finishing his sentence, Huo-Lei, using the palm of his left hand, threw the boy a few meters away, hitting him squarely in the chest.

- Damn you! Do you think you can hit brother Duo-Zi and be done with it?

—Big brother, I have an idea. If we kill the three of them here now, no one will know what happened, right? I have some methods to hide corpses, remember last time?

With Jia-Li's sentence, the two boys felt a chill run down their spines.

— Y-you're just bluffing! S-although... the daughter of an assassin and a demonic cultist... Brother Feng, let's leave this for later, if we make too much noise we'll wake up the instructors and we'll be screwed too, after all.

The boy started to push his brother, but when they were about to walk out the door, Huo-Lei grabbed him by the sleeve of his blanket.

— Jia-Li, worms like these don't deserve to die, they still need to feel the humiliation we felt.

Huo-Lei took a deep breath, he moved his leg, placing his ankle on the back of the boy he was holding without him even noticing, and in one movement, he made his body hit the ground, the boy's big head hit the wooden floor. leaving him unconscious.

- You...!

The only one of the three still standing began to tremble, his legs went weak and he leaned on the walls of the room to try to get out.

— I could forgive you if you just insulted us, like you always do. We've endured this for 3 years, every day you don't let us train, you steal our pills, you sabotage our meals, you invent things for the instructors, I let all this go because it wasn't worth wasting IQ on some pigs, but if you talk from my mother and Fang-Lei this way, you will pay for every word appropriately.

As he said this while looking into the eyes of the boy who was leaning at the door, Huo-Lei emitted a murderous aura that the boy had never seen before, he picked up his unconscious brother and the other who had been thrown and ran down the corridors of the hall. .

- Big Brother...

Jia-Li looked at Huo-Lei who still looked angry.

— I know, I exaggerated, there's no way I can let that go. There's less than half a year left for these damn things to graduate, we have to hold on a little longer... Ouch, now I'm starting to feel the pain of the injuries you caused. Huo-Lei looked at the ground and saw a pool of blood, Jia-Li turned pale and looked around restlessly feeling guilty.

— Brother, being with you, I know I can handle this, and have I really managed to scare them?

— I think everyone who heard you speak so coldly would believe it, but wait, you didn't really intend to kill them, right?

— If we weren't here at the academy, who knows, right!?

Jia-Li said with a sweet and soft tone of voice, but Huo-Lei looked at her worriedly.

The two brothers left the room and tried to discreetly return to their rooms.

That incident had happened other times, in fact, since they both entered the Silver Sky Sect, they have been the target of most students.

Huo-Lei had never met his real father, and to make matters worse, he lost his mother when he was six years old, she was killed in a mysterious way and accused of being an assassin for the opposing government.

After being orphaned, the boy was adopted by Fang-Lei, considered one of the best martial artists in the Silver Sky Sect.

That same year, Fang-Lei had adopted Jia-Li, who had been orphaned by his mother, a former fugitive from the blood sect.

Huo-Lei, along with his sister Jia-Li, were sent to the Silver Sky Sect to train at the most renowned academy in the east of Murim, but an event changed both their lives the following year.

Fang-Lei was accused of being a member of the Demonic Sect, one of the banned sects of Murim.

After what happened, the students began to mistreat the half-brothers who had to endure everything, as the seniors and elders of the Silver Sky Sect believed in the accusations against Fang-Lei, but without any proof, they could not expel the two brothers,

One day, one of the students almost raped Jia-Li, knowing this, Fang-Lei went to the academy and left the four students involved seriously injured.

Days later, his body was found near the mountains at the entrance to the Silver Sky Sect, no one moved to investigate who had done it, Huo-Lei and Jia-Li also didn't have the strength to do anything, they just had to accept things. and they promised to continue at the academy until the end, if they gave up there, they would prove that their father was guilty.

Three years later, after going through many things, together they managed to remain firm, despite their cultivation being below that of all other students, considering that the teachers and seniors always disfavored them, with the exception of the sect master, Mujang.

—

The next morning, Huo-Lei was woken up by shouting outside.

— "Don't these bastards have anything better to do at this time?"

When he went outside, he came across several people commenting something, some when they saw Huo-Lei leaving his room turned their eyes to him in amazement.

— "What the hell...? Did they find out what happened yesterday?"

— Hey, it's that killer's brother! He must have helped!

Huo-Lei was alert, he saw several gazes with murderous intentions towards him.

One of the academy's seniors, a man with long white hair and a scar on his right cheek walked over with a frown.

— Go to the great master's room, and don't even think about doing anything funny.

The senior's words were direct, everyone started whispering louder.

— "Did you hear? It seems that Jia-Li killed one of the Fei brothers yesterday."

— "My God, that was very cruel! I found out that she killed him when he was sleeping, cut his neck and pulled out his tongue, she really is the daughter of a demon!"

Huo-Lei widened his eyes, at that moment, the world around him turned black and he couldn't hear anything else.
