Arc 2: Academy Arc
Chapter 16: Onwards to Nimbus Academy
-----Sol's PoV-----
It has been a year since I had my magic affinity examination. I'm currently on my room changing to a two piece shirt and a pair of jeans. Confirming that there was nothing wrong, I proceeded out of the room, but as I was about to close the door, I threw one final glance towards the room I have used for 9 years before finally closing the door.
As I proceeded towards the drawing room, I couldn't help but to reexamine my status windows.

Unfortunately, I didn't learn new spells since the book mother gave me only has beginner and common unranked spells, I can only learn better spells from the academy. On the other hand, my cultivation is going smoothly, I was even told by father that my cultivation rate is quite abnormal, I could even breakthrough to the Early Mortal Stage if I didn't focus on my magic training.
Focusing back to reality, I finally reached the drawing room. Entering the room, I saw mother, Sophia, Aaliyah, Elena, and aunt Liza. As usual, father is busy with whatever his work is, father and mother never told anyone about what his work is, not even the servants or my siblings, it's quite suspicious, but I don't think father is an evil person, so I'm not worried much.
"Ah, Sol, you're here. Go take a seat, we have something to tell you." Mother suddenly said when she noticed that I entered the room. I'm rather curious to what mother have to tell me, so I took a seat before mother continued.
"Well, It looks like Elena will be joining Nimbus Academy with you, so you both will be going together there with Sophia."
I was rather surprised hearing that. Subconsciously, I took a glance towards Elena. Coincidently, she was staring at me too for some reason, which caused our eyes to meet for a moment before Elena hurriedly turned her head away. I was rather confused why she did that, but I just shook my head and said to mother.
"Then I will take care of her and make sure we reached there safely."
"Good, Sophia will be guiding you both there. The trip should take around a week, while the academy examination will be in a month from now, so you will have time to get used to the town where Nimbus Academy is situated." Mother then stood up, followed by everyone else.
Exiting the mansion, we stood in front of the carriage that we're going to ride to get to the academy.
"Take care of yourself in the academy and study hard." Mother said with moist eyes. But before I could reply, I felt something touching my abdomen. Looking down, I saw Aaliyah that's looking up to me with tears streaming her violet eyes.
"*sniff* brother, you have to visit often and play more with me."
"I'll visit you when I have the chance, so don't worry." I then threw a glance towards mother. Seeing this, she nodded in understanding and took Aalliyah off me.
Aaliyah put up a resistance at first, but after mother whispered a few words to her, she went quiet for a moment before throwing a glance towards me, I was wondering what mother told her, but she suddenly ran off into the house which made me even more curious. Unfortunately, when I looked at mother, she just acted as if nothing occured, so I decided to put this event at the back of my mind.
I then entered the carriage followed by Sophia and Elena. Not long after, the carriage starts to move, looking out the window, mother and aunt Liza is currently waving towards us, so we waved back until the mansion is out of sight before going back inside the carriage.
-----Third Person PoV-----
As Sol's carriage passed through a road, not far away, there stood a middle-aged man draped in a sky blue robe using a spyglass, staring towards the carriage.
"Is he really one of 'them'?" As the man questioned, a man draped in a black cloak suddenly appeared out of thin-air.
"I'm not sure, but he should be. An appearence of talented kids when the Divine War is near sometimes signifies the appearence of a god's champion." Hearing that, the blue robed man stood up and said.
"Then we must find out which god's champion he is, if he is not affiliated to the God of the church of light, Lychnus, then he must be exterminated." As he said that, he and the black robed man disappeared at the same time. If an expert saw them, it could be seen that they're actually moving towards Sol's carriage with a speed that will be hard to follow with the eye sight of a normal person.
At the same time as the two middle-aged men moved, inside the carriage, Sol's pair of eyes that was closed suddenly snapped open and let out a fierce light as his lips formed a sneer.
'So they finally made their move, if you think ambushing us while I'm still here, you can keep on dreaming.' Sol then suddenly jumped out to the top of the carriage. Before Elena, Sophia and the carriage driver could gasp in surprised, Sol already released his killing intent as he used《Dragonification》on his legs before leaping towards the pair of men.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
On the other side, the two middle-aged men felt Sol's killing intent, causing them to involunterily shudder and pausing their movement for a moment. But before they could contemplate over it, Sol suddenly strucked the man in black cloak on the abdomen with a spear. Seeing this, the blue robed man surprisingly didn't stagger, instead, he carefully sized up Sol from a distance while holding the hilt of the sword sheated on his hip, signifying how well trained the man is.
Because of the momentum of Sol's leap, they didn't stop until the spear strucked the bottom of the cliff that the two men were standing on. When Sol's spear strucked the cliff, it resulted in a dust cloud while cracks that looked like spider-webs permeated through the cliff walls, reaching 5 meters in length. Surprisingly, when the dust cloud dissipated, cracks can be seen all over Sol's spear. When Sol removed his hands from the spear handle, the spear slowly crumbled into pieces, but Sol only stared what's left of the spear for a moment before turning his head to look towards the man in sky blue robe, not giving a single glance towards the man draped in a black cloak.
Noticing Sol's arrogant act, the blue robed man wanted to get the black robed man to attack Sol from the back. But when he looked closer, he realized that the black robed man, with a giant hole on his abdomen, is already dead while his eyes are wide open, as if he still could not believe how he died even after death. When he looked back towards Sol, he saw Sol staring at him with detached eyes, as if he's looking at a lower life form. This caused cold sweat to flow down his back.
"Speak, who are you and what are you after, I'll consider to give you a painless death if you confess." Arrogance, plain arrogance, but the blue robed man knew that Sol has the rights to be this arrogant.
Even so, the man is determined to at least bring Sol down with him, even if it meant death. This is how faithfull, or blinded towards his faith this man is.
Without even replying, he charged towards Sol with full strength. Seeing this, Sol smirked, as if knowing this would have happened.
"Fine then, you will be a great punching back for me to train." Sol then held out his hand and did a grasping motion as a 2 meter black staff appeared out of thin air before charging towards the blue robed man.
After Sol trained this skill for years, he learnt that he could just instantly summon a weapon out of his dimension without even opening a gate.
The collision of the two generated an explosion that caused countless trees to be uprooted from the ground. The explosion was then followed by the sound of two weapons colliding against each other about tens to thousands of times. Suddenly, a sharp metal colliding against metal sound rang out as Sol and the blue robed man separated from each other.
The two of them already have their shirt ripped apart from all the after effects of their weapon's collision. Sol's body is covered by countless sword cuts, but it can be seen that Sol is still fine from the fact that only a small amount of blood leaked from the sword cuts. On the other hand, the blue robed man is in an even worse position. His body is covered by black and blue bruises with a few patches of blood, while trickle of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth. It can be seen that he is already out of energy from how his pair of arms and legs are currently quivering.
"Last chance, speak now and I'll let you die painlessly, keep being stubborn and we can keep on going." Sol said with a detached voice as he struck his staff down.
The blue robed man knew that Sol is serious, but he couldn't let him know that he's from the Church of Light, especially if he's a champion of a god that's not affiliated with the God of Light, Lychnus. So he asked.
"Wait, you're a god's champion right?" When Sol heard his question, he was dumbstrucked for a moment before his eyes turned sharp.
"So what if I am? And how did you know about god's champion." Hearing that, the man was rejoicing inside, but at the same time, fear crept up his heart. If Sol is a champion of another god, especially an opposing one, it will bring great troubles to the church of light.
"Then which god's champion are you?" But instead of answering, Sol suddenly disappeared from where he stood. Before the man could register what had taken place, his back already collided with the hard ground as a black staff is pointed towards his throat as a chilling, devil-like voice floated into his ears.
"I'm the one who asks questions here, now tell, or I will push this staff down your throat and turn it into a mush of flesh." Sol then pressed the staff deeper into the man's throat. Seeing this, the man shuddered, but he still managed to pull out the courage to ask.
"Are you a champion that's affiliated with the God of Light, Lychnus?" As Sol was about to reply, a light flashed inside his mind as he mentally made an evil grin.
"Yes, I actually am, I didn't know that you're at the side of the God of Light, Lychnus, forgive me." He then removed his staff from the man's neck before holding out his hand with a smile.
The blue robed man was quite surprised at the fact that his guess was actually correct, but he froze for a moment before suspiciously looking towards Sol. But how could he see through Sol's acting skill that can even get him an oscar reward in his past world. After a few moments of them staring at each other, the blue robed man finally accepted what Sol said.
"I'm sorry about attacking you then."
"It's fine, so can you tell me everything now?"
"Yes, that black robed man and I is a devotee of the Church of Light. Every few decades, the gods will always initiate a Divine War and tell their oracles about it. Unfortunately, the gods cannot tell us who their champion is, but all the champion the gods have will always have a monstrous talent. So we always look into every talented child that appeared when the Divine War is near. Now, we should get you to the main church so you can train until the Divine War is here."
As he was about turn around and lead Sol towards the church, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of his head. The last thing he saw before fainting was the evil grin that looked akin to a devil's on Sol's face.
"You have my gratitude for telling me that, now I will keep my promise, I'll give you a painless death." He then struck on the man's throat heavily with the staff, turning it into a pile of bloody meat paste.
Then, without even turning back to look at the blue robed man, Sol walked back towards the carriage as his killing intent surged.
'Church of Light? Who ever you people are, you will have to see if you even have the ability to kill me.'
