《Heir of the Divine Phoenix》17. Aurora Academy [4]
Advertisement
Feuer arrived on the center of the Kingdom rather quickly, as the Kingdom is on the border and in a relatively isolated part of the [Enith] continent, it is very small compared to most Kingdoms, arriving there, the first thing he noticed was the beautiful building of the Aurora Academy, it looked majestic, magnificent.
''A masterpiece...'' Feuer muttered while looking at the building but then, quickly entered it through the open gate, it was open to anyone that is from 14 to 16 years old, which is the prime age to start cultivating or becoming a magician, despite what was said on the Flake Clan Mana Extracting Technique, ''pulling'' out the elements aren't that easy.
One needs to have a clear, very clear image to do so, for example, even after 7 years, Luar can't pull the elements without chanting it to get a better image, however, Feuer doesn't need to chant it, the truth is that without Feuer help, Luar wouldn't be able to use simple chants like simply saying [Fire Spear], generally, one would need to say a complete spell [Elements within my body, obey me and be my Spear - Fire Spear]
The same goes to those that use mana, anyway, Feuer entered the place where they'll be tested and looked around, searching for his father, however, it was too crowded so he couldn't see the spectators at all, there were many commoners but also many nobles here, more than a hundred youngsters concentrated in one place isn't a small amount at all.
An hour passed and Feuer was becoming impatient, he hates to wait for such things and the number of youngsters was increasing by every minute that passed, however, it seems his boredom is ending soon as a group of youngsters approached him, the one that seems to be their leader is at Peak Spiritual Awakening while the rest are at High Martial Awakening, basically, none of them is a match to Feuer, even if they fought together.

'Call it arrogance or stupidity but I'm 100% sure that I'm invincible at Peak Martial & Spiritual Awakening, they don't seem friendly, though, ah, it reminds me of the time someone tried to bully me, poor boy...' Feuer thought as a smile appeared on his face.
The one that seems to be the leader stopped in front of Feuer and said ''I heard that the son of the esteemed Heinz Flake was a waste, to think you dared to enter the Aurora Academy, don't you have shame?''
The crowd of youngsters gave a bit of space as some of them muttered between themselves ''This is Tsan Vind, the Young Leader of the Vind Clan, I heard that they had some trouble with the Flake Clan recently, I heard that the son of Flake Clan Leader is a waste, a pity that he was dragged in the trouble...'' someone muttered and shook his head.
'I see... Well, well, I know the best way to deal with bullies' Feuer thought while smiling widely, he knows that they'll need to fight to resolve that, this is a world where even if you kill, you won't be punished if you have a high status.
Feuer channeled Light element on his feet as he thought 'I'm not a wuxia character to talk before fighting, if you want to do trouble, be prepared to lose your fertility...'
''It seems that y-'' Before Tsan Vind could finish what he was saying, he felt severe pain and a cracking sound as he looked down, he saw blood flowing from where it was his little brother ''B-B-Bastard...'' was all he said before being unconscious.
The remaining youngsters at the group were going to fight but then, they saw Feuer saying with an innocent smile that looked like the one from a Demon ''Do you want to end like him?'' he said before going away, the crowd opened a path to him as the males held their crotch and felt the pain that Tsan Vind felt while looking fearfully towards Feuer, that hummed happily as he sat on a chair nearby.

Everyone started to talk about it as a certain someone from the Lyn Clan thought 'Our clan must ally with the Flake Clan... Heinz son defeated the Young Leader of the Vind Clan, this can only mean that their status will once again change, I can't provoke him...'
That person is the Lyn Clan Young Leader, he had the urge to provoke Feuer before but held because he felt something amiss, now he knows and understood that going against him won't do any good, nodding to himself, he hid within the crowd as one of the Aurora Academy Instructors suddenly appeared as he created an Earth Pillar and stood above it as he said
''Welcome, young cultivators and magicians, I won't beat around the bush, as most already know, there'll be two tests: One will test your cultivation or mage realm through the ''Status Stone'' and the second will be an Illusion Test, the first 20 to leave it will become students of the Aurora Academy!'' Then, he explained about the optional tournament, everyone was hyped except Feuer and youngsters from the Noble Clans that already knew about these things.
''Gaia, can you analyze the properties of the Status Stone and understand the essence of how it works so that you can absorb this ability and get it so that I can see another person status any time?'' Feuer said in his consciousness as the [Gaia System] replied
[Yes, master, all I need is direct contact with it but I'll be unable to talk with you for a time as I'll be occupied analyzing it and then, absorbing that ability] Feuer nodded as he waited, a few minutes passed as the number of youngsters were decreasing, they went to another area and stood to wait for everyone to be tested and then, do the next test, of course, these were the ones that passed, around half of them were disqualified on the first test, leaving a little more than 50 youngsters.
Feuer was finally called, before going, he said in his consciousness ''Change my Phoenix bloodline to Human temporarily, after my Status is checked, you can change it back to Fire Phoenix'' he said as the [Gaia System] complied.
''You're Heinz son, huh? I remember the day he came to be tested, ah, those were good days, he was a good student, well, let's see your status!'' The one that said this was an old Instructor as Feuer nodded and put his hand on the Status Stone.
The old Instructor nodded and said ''You're just like him, so young but already at Peak Spiritual Awakening and affinity to Three Elements, such talent, as they say... the new will always surpass the old!''
'Old man, can you stop talking and just let me pass?' Feuer thought but maintained a stoic expression as he nodded, soon, he went to the next stage, apparently, his group was the last one, the Instructor then said
''You all will need to sit in lotus position on that Arena, we'll launch the Illusion once everyone sits!'' He said as all remaining youngsters sat in lotus position, Feuer included, they stood with open eyes before the Illusion was launched, simultaneously, every youngster eyes closed as the Instructor cast the Illusion!

The fallen (?) hero and Aži Dahāka's soul fragment
I have to apologize.A certain real life problem that I thought I got rid of has caught up to me once again.I tried to continue writing, but my mind was not in the right track to do so and thus, as some people had said, the quality of the latest 2 chapters had turned from the usual "bad" to "worst". So, I reluctantly have to say that I will be away until I can sort things out.I can't say when, but I do intend to return to writing. I might lurk around to read other people's works though. I will be turning my attention to stories with "tragedy" and "despair". The five of us were summoned to this world from our clubroom two years ago to be made as heroes.Shouldn't forceful summoning like that be counted as kidnapping?Well, we chose to go with the heroes route.After harsh training and battles, not to mention all the killings, we finally defeated the demon lord.However, all those achievements literally became nothing, it wasn't just forgotten, it was erased to be totally nothing as even the written records were somehow being disposed of. I was too naive. Who would have thought that the side we have been fighting alongside with, the side we were fighting for, was the one to bring our demise?After I had to see everyone else turn into nothingness, somehow... I alone survived. Note: I will attempt to fix the grammar problem with the help of lieutenant colonel fletterman. This may delay the release of future chapter. Chapter 1 is fixed. Chapter 2 is fixed.

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
