Heian Ciemnosc The Examiner
17th year, 1st month, and 10th day since the new Change started, the Great Sage’s death, and the birth of Heian Ciemnosc. In one of many empty black rooms, but this one specifically as it was Heian Ciemnosc's Master's meditation room.
Heian Ciemnosc was seated in the middle with his Master in its exact center, both cross-legged as she meditated and he cultivated. Around him, tens of Supreme graded Powerful Stones dissipated and turned into ashes, as if bloating and self-imploding. But their contents were sent into Heian Ciemnosc's body, instantly transforming that rich and humongous pure energy into his dark Power Energy. As he cultivated, a dark aura enveloped his body. It was immeasurably thin and didn't form a complete layer around his body. It was more like an aura.
As he cultivated, his Master’s eyes opened, and she looked towards him. Her aged face was wrinkled. And as if to disappear in the next moment. However, she didn’t look ugly or deteriorated, and her eyes were different despite their lifelessness as if she had had extreme amounts of vigor before. After studying his cultivation and his face, wholly immersed in cultivating, no longer restless or wanting to fight someone, she felt he had matured a little more.
Heian Ciemnosc had already returned from his 1-month vacation. Since it was war times, he couldn’t take leaves longer than that, even if he was a Leading Student, which he was not. After returning, his Crabstynian realm 10th stage had achieved its peak, astounding his Master. Even though she wanted him to reach the pinnacle of the Spirit Formation realm at the end of this year, she didn’t expect him to have this much talent in cultivating. This kid had looked down on himself far too much.
When Heian Ciemnosc returned from his vacation, he gave her a few flora from Hong Mei’s part. They were to aid her already new gardens to grow more robust and efficiently. Lady Calisneia accepted them without hesitation and planted them. Now that her new gardens were gaining a lot of attention from her, she seemed more peaceful, relaxed, and busy with her daily life whenever she exited her meditation room.
Whenever Heian Ciemnosc couldn’t find someone to play with and had finished Elena’s Colorful Claws, this kid had gone to Teacher Puru’s residence to start building his own spaceship from the start. There were parts from oldest to newest models that he could work with, and it caused him to return to her side in a good mood. His cultivation base also slightly advanced every time he returned from there. Lady Calisneia couldn’t help… feeling lucky she adopted such a disciple.
“Heian Ciemnosc…” Unknowingly, she had raised her left hand to caress his long, pitchest-black hair and the back of his head. With her words, he slowly woke up, softly lifting his eyelids, and turned to the right to face his Master’s face. Lady Calisneia woke up and startled herself, but she kept it hidden as she lowered her hand after pinching his right cheek. Heian Ciemnosc didn’t say anything nor exclaim and let the silence continue before she began.
“It’s already time. Go and participate in the test. If you must become a Leading Student, you still need to experience it. I will no longer place my resources on you. Get them through your merit points, stop living off of me, and don’t stop Craftsmaking for even a day. I know it’s hard, but if you cannot reach the peak of the Spirit Formation realm by the end of this year, you will no longer be my disciple.” Lady Calisneia said with a soft, trailing voice. She seemed somewhat weakened and tired in Heian Ciemnosc’s eyes and ears.
“Milyy has entered seclusion. She is becoming. This will take from several months to a few years. Don’t disturb her. You will have slightly more free time without her dual cultivating with you. Your Cloudless Eagle is living like a king, but he still needs your help to obtain vital pills and potions. You may set up missions to aid you in getting some weekly resources. But every month, you will go to a more dangerous area and search for even more rare and valuable resources.”
Heian Ciemnosc was surprised to hear about Milyy, even more so when his Master said she would be unavailable for so long. Indeed, the higher the cultivation realm, the more it would be costly to breakthrough, stabilize, and solidify one’s path. However, Heian Ciemnosc was still unaware of the challenges to become. As for Evans, even though he didn’t directly participate much in the war back then, he was enormously consequential for the Concealed Ornament Team when Heian Ciemnosc needed to move them quickly towards another area in the battlefield or an enemy City. Now, he was even close to breaking into the Spirit Rebirth realm.
“Yes, Master,” Heian Ciemnosc said. He didn’t even mentally question her, directly nodding and agreeing with her views. Since he was himself, only he could go along with such an injunction. He stood up, deeply bowed to his Master, and said before turning around and leaving. “Master, I will bring you glory, even though you do not need or want it. I will make you feel proud I’m your disciple. You will always be my Master.”
“... Mn, go ahead,” Lady Calisneia’s eyes, which were about to close, opened again and looked up. Glaring at Heian Ciemnosc with her dimmed-out eyes, she nodded and waved at him in dismissal before closing her eyes and placing her palms together.
Step, step, step, step, step… Heian Ciemnosc exited her meditation room, and then there was only her. After 2 seconds of being left alone, Lady Calisneia’s back reclined forward, and she seemed to writhe the expression on her face in pain, “Siiiiigh...”
… On the other hand, Heian Ciemnosc exited his Master’s meditation room, walked away, and didn’t hear anything. He exited his Master’s abode and took a speedy vehicle from his Covert Space bags before driving towards the nearest City. Before heading to the Academy’s territory, he wanted to pick something up that belonged to him. He looked at his merit points, seeing that they had barely changed since the war ended, from around 80,00 after the war to 81,600 with the weekly missions.
Vrooom, vrooom, vrooom, trckrr…
Heian Ciemnosc entered a City and went through its portal, quickly teleporting towards many other Cities until he appeared near Teacher Puru’s residence in a City hundreds of kilometers away. After driving for a few minutes, he stored the speedy car and walked into Teacher Puru’s place. Heian Ciemnosc wore a dark cloak over his Academy uniform and Saberbone Diabolical club jacket. However, only his Wrath Nihility Academy and club emblems showed.
His cloak made him look unstoppably handsome, and the charm of a young man began appearing on his face. If Heian Ciemnosc were to speak of the things his wives did to him after he returned, where not a single place of his body was left without being pleased, it would cause anyone from the 60% to blush and feel shy. Even Heian Ciemnosc was overwhelmed by their incensed actions… at first.
Step, step- sliide~, step step step… Heian Ciemnosc walked into the large gardens flourishing with incredible medicinal scent. Heian Ciemnosc had helped grow this beautiful place. It seemed all grass and light green. It had floors below the ground level filled with sun-beneficial flora and a few insects, well-trained, keeping them safe from outsider little organisms. He had thought he had done an amazing job. However, after revisiting the Carrier and being further taught by his wifey, Hong Mei, he saw many things needing immediate upgrades.
“Hey, Heian Ciemnosc~! Hurry, Puru is inside. The test is about to start! What are you waiting for?!”
As Heian Ciemnosc was busy frowning at his work, dissatisfied, his Auntie’s marvelous words reached his ears. He turned his head to the residence’s main building’s entrance, where he saw Sharina holding a Demon baby suckling its left thumb boringly but relaxedly in a daze. He lightly smiled and walked forward when another female Demon appeared behind her, walking over to Sharina’s back to place her chin on her left shoulder.
“How’s my baby doing? And how’s my big baby doing? Hehe,” she said, having a similar appearance to sharina but lower in height, thinner, and practically without feminine charm other than her curving waist and aura. She first spoke to Sharina, looking at the Demon baby boy, interrupting her answer, and looking at Heian Ciemnosc right after. “...” - “...”
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
Heian Ciemnosc and his Auntie were speechless. He shook his head but still walked forward and intimately kissed the female Demon’s lips, dragging her lips out as she mesmerizingly narrowed her eyes while receiving his kiss. Sharina, who had them exchange affection precisely to the left of her head, raised her eyebrows and covered the baby’s eyes before looking at the two up close.
“Finish already, you naughty kids!” Sharina said, but the female Demon licked Heian Ciemnosc’s nose from the tip to his glabella before turning to look at her and say, “Kids? I’m the oldest sister! Besides, how can you call him kid when you’ve seen him distend my bowels a few times already? Tsk tsk!”
“... Olga, take your baby. Your husband called. He’s picking you up tomorrow, no more taking my Nephew’s time away, you hungry sl-” Sharina was silent, blushed, and said with a shake of her head. However, Olga smiled and pecked her forehead before taking the baby boy into her arms and smoking out of Sharina and Heian Ciemnosc’s eyes. Heian Ciemnosc lightly smiled and faced his Aunt before hugging her.
“Auntie, I’m also picking up my baby,” Heian Ciemnosc said. Hearing those words, Sharina giggled, and her body trembled as she embraced his upper back, her hands evaluating some muscles here and there that were about to form. “Why does everyone talk about babies now? Huh? Hey, my Nephew, you’re already getting more defined than your Uncle, poor Elena. She must be interrupted in her cultivation without hope for resisting you.”
“Oh. No no. I think it’s just you, Auntie. Don’t worry. After I become a Leading Student, your marriage can proceed. Then, you will have what you want the most. I assure you Uncle will grow crazy knowing he will have a legacy now. Can you imagine a little family of Generals born from the two of you? And since your Demon family gives birth to triplets during the first pregnancy, he will be very busy. Not even wars will be important to him anymore.”
“Also, you’ve seen me naked so many times. If it wasn’t because you were my Auntie, I would have thought you and Uncle were too kinky.” Heian Ciemnosc added. Sharina’s relaxed face changed, making her flush and furrow her eyebrows in embarrassed anger. “You, kid! Don’t talk about taking my marriage hostage. You even dare to speak about those intimate moments? Understand it! That’s just how much your Uncle trusts you.”
“I know, I know, Auntie.” Heian Ciemnosc grinned from the left corner of his mouth, looking somewhat evilly. Sharina shook her head with a soft smile before planting her lips on his forehead and hugging him again. “Go, he’s been waiting for you. He did his best, so don’t blame him, or I won’t let you see me naked anymore.”
“Auntie, that can be misunderstood,” Heian Ciemnosc made a serious expression and said, holding his Aunt’s waist. She slapped his chest with her right hand and said, “You are you. What do I care about others? Now, go with your Uncle before I decide to become a more standard adoptive family with you-... Sigh, this kid.”
Dashhh~.
Before Sharina could finish speaking, Heian Ciemnosc dashed into the main entrance and disappeared from her naked eye. She shook her head and crossed her arms before slowly stepping back inside the building. She smiled as she compared the Heian Ciemnoscs of yesterdays to the current 17-year-old, mighty handsome and slightly mature kid.
… Whoosh- click.
On the other hand, Heian Ciemnosc arrived before a door leading to a gigantic, square-shaped building connected to the mansion. He placed his hand on the doorknob as it immediately clicked, and he opened the door. Behind it was the sight of an enormous garage/hangar. It had 2 Frigates of each type and one Destroyer of each class: Low, Middle, and Advanced - hanging in the air as they filled almost ¾ of the garage/hangar. The rest had hundreds of tanks, motorized vehicles, and some top-notch artillery.
Step, step, step, step.
Walking into the garage, Heian Ciemnosc looked around at the new spaceships recently put in here. He felt baffled and excited! He wanted to fly them but only knew how to fly a Frigate alone. The rest weren’t thoroughly taught to him. Although he knew the sight-basics to pilot a Cruiser with a team.
“Wow, Uncle. When did you bring these babies from your space station? I thought one couldn’t lower them without the highest permission?” Heian Ciemnosc walked to where Teacher Puru was, half-kneeling before a familiar shaped vehicle with colored with the most possible color to his hair. Teacher Puru was checking its underside, seemingly engrossed in it so much he ignored Heian Ciemnosc’s presence until he walked in.
“The test starts today, right? I’ll bring you to show the Academy’s growing military power. I got these with the billions I gained over the last year. They’ve been checked by me, improved by your Aunt, and will now be the source of your next step into fame, kid.” Teacher Puru stood up and didn't finish checking Heian Ciemnosc’s spaceship. But he looked excited to have been working on it. Understandingly, Heian Ciemnosc looked at his face before looking at his baby.
“Is this my baby Ornament?” Heian Ciemnosc asked, looking at the pitch-black Fighter. It was 8 meters in length, 4 in width, and tall. The middle front had the piloting seats, while its bow had a place for 4 machine guns, 2 at the sides and another 2 below that could rotate to stand before the cabin. It had steep sides and extended extremes at the end. Behind it were a few compartments to let a few missiles come out and a smallish engine at its underside. 2 mini-turrets anti-missiles were behind the cabin, at its sides, and another one below, behind the smallish engine.
As Teacher Puru stood up, he sent his Spirit Sense into it, which Heian Ciemnosc gave him permission to operate as his Uncle and helper to create this baby as it slowly engorged, its steppe ends inflating like balloons as tires appeared to the sides, ready to be driven on land all terrain! It could also float through the water, moving at the same speed as it would, flying in the air, or driving through the ground.
It was only at its utmost speed in space, even more so if the smallish engine was used. But that would deplete 70% of its entire capacity, so it could only be used in emergencies. As its tires showed, Heian Ciemnosc excitedly but calmly smiled at his Uncle before lowering his baby and starting to examine it. He started with the cabin and its interiors. The Ornament had 2 floors, one for walking around and the other for its ammunition storage. Inside it, bunkers were also created, capable of resisting a rocket launcher’s assault 15 times and could hold up to 10 people.
A total of 3 bunkers were created, but everyone inside it would be tightly packed together. And if they weren’t cultivators, they would need additional air to breathe and devices to inject sustenance into their bodies. Naturally, those devices were hidden in the bunkers, just in case there was something important Heian Ciemnosc’s Concealed Ornament Team had to do.
Of course, this was for his COs only, including Gloria, who would be going on higher missions than before. Even more, as they neared the First Step’s peak. The rest of his team would get fighters, mostly Bulldogs, but still Fighters fully equipped.
The Ornament was best in long movements with high speed for a Fighter, agile in short maneuvers, and designed to be sharp and quick, not tanky or destructive. Resembling the Concealed Ornament Team.
At first, Heian Ciemnosc had ideas to make it a 1-person only. But with the importance the Concealed Ornament Team held in his heart, there was no way he would let his COs with any Fighter other than this. Besides, this was a top-notch Fighter like the Bulldog, General model, and the Sweet Carolina. It cost Heian Ciemnosc’s Uncle almost 150 million gold coins. It was with his budget with his budget that it was built. That’s what happens to schemers who want the greater good to belong to a child.
The request for helping Heian Ciemnosc create a Fighter however he wanted it was left to Teacher Puru… alone. Naturally, Heian Ciemnosc was not stingy. And while the maintenance and cost of any other top-notch Fighter was around 10 million coins, this Ornament became Teacher Puru’s second most intense goal these several months besides the ongoing war against the organizations of the Blackotia Kingdom.
Tap, tap.
After examining his baby thoroughly, Heian Ciemnosc was left content even more with the black-pitch color, making it look like a black hole consuming light around it, which was actually doing it. It was concealing paintwork only someone like Teacher Puru could get his hands on… with Teacher Conde’s help. Even a peak Third Step organization would take years to get their hands on this kind of paint, let alone in just a few months and changed to a pitch-black color.
The corridors were spacious enough for the COs and Heian Ciemnosc, with smallish berths inside compartments. They were comfy and had the capability of retaining pure energy from the surroundings there. It was genuinely better than even Leading Students’ meditation rooms if left around the Academy’s territory, and it would improve if it was in space. Its Elemental poisoning would make more pure energy and gather it quicker.
Heian Ciemnosc also checked. According to his experience, the corridors and berths were more than pleasant to fornicate in. That was important, ey.
Feeling his right shoulder’s back palmed by his Uncle, Heian Ciemnosc turned his head to the left as he watched Teacher Puru walk forward and pick a small item with his hands. It looked like a paper ticket, rectangular, long, and thin. It was fully pitch-black, almost as much as Heian Ciemnosc’s hair, fluctuating with lots of pure energy.
“Here’s your key, make the baby yours, kid.” Teacher Puru grinned, throwing the key towards Heian Ciemnosc, who caught it with his left hand before placing it on his left chest. His dark Power Energy infused into it, and his Spirit Sense guided the ticket’s pure energy to connect with him as he closed his eyes. It then became smoke that adhered itself to his body through his skin.
Teacher Puru looked with rapt attention. This was the moment Heian Ciemnosc obtained his first private spaceship, and it came from his and his wife’s hands.
