《Heir of the Divine Phoenix》18. Aurora Academy [5]

Feuer included, as soon as his eyes closed, a white mist invaded his son as images started to play, he looked around 'How is it possible that I'm back on 21st Century? Was it all a dream?'
The illusion kept confusing his memory as he saw his parents, Feuer's mother said ''What are you daydreaming, Alex? The movie is starting, you were so excited to see it, right?''
Feuer smiled before he said ''Of course!'' as he started to pay close attention, in a mere instant, he forgot all 14 years he passed on the [Mortal Zenith] world, the movie passed quickly in his eyes as his father approached him
''Champs, the movie was good! I thought it wouldn't be good because I don't like superhero movies but this was extremely good, the actors too, unfortunately, it's time to go home, let's go!'' His father said while smiling lightly before taking his wife and son's hand, the three of them went to the car, however, someone interrupted them.
''Pass all the money and valuable things in your body to me, this isn't a joke, if you don't give it to me, I'll shoot!'' A bandit announced the robbery as he pointed a gun towards Feuer, that stood there, paralyzed, this is the first time someone pointed a gun to him.
Feuer's father gave the money and all valuable things as he said ''Ok, just leave us alone, ok?'' and thought 'If that means keeping my son safe, I would give all that I have, be it money, jewelry or business!'
However, just as he gave it to the bandit, the bandit shoot two times in succession, killing both Feuer father and mother before running away, all that Feuer did was look down as he saw his parent's dead body as blood kept flowing from their body, a gory scene was left around their body and some of the blood spilled on his face ''AAAAH!'' Feuer screamed as tears flew down his face after seeing his parent's dead body.

The image of his parents dying passed on his mind continuously before a crack appeared as a golden glow engulfed everything and turned it to nothing as Feuer opened his eyes, his face completely stoic ''It wasn't a dream, huh? I still feel regret, not being able to kill the bastard that killed you, father, mother...'' he said, somehow, he could control his own emotions right now despite the sadness on his heart.
Then, he shook his head 'I have a new family now, father, mother, I'm sure you're watching me from far and you would be proud of me, right?' Feuer thought as he looked upwards, looking around, he saw that nobody had woken up yet.
''So... how much time passed since I was put on that Illusion, Instructors?'' Feuer said as he looked towards the old Instructor and the Instructors around, all of them had their mouth wide open as they rubbed their eyes continuously.
'They have mental problems, don't they?' Feuer thought as he facepalmed before the old Instructor said ''To think that you broke the record of 10 seconds.... boy, do you realize what you just did? The illusion we used is called [Continuous Nightmare Illusion], it makes someone face their worst fear continuously, the record of someone breaking it is 10 seconds, no one broke it faster than that, you broke that record because you got out of the illusion instantly!''
Feuer felt confused 'Well? It passed like three hours for me, maybe the time flows differently for someone inside the illusion?' he thought as another Instructor smiled slightly ''You seem confused, it's easy, the time inside the Illusion pass different from those outside it!''
''I see... if it isn't rude, who was the one that launched the illusion?'' Feuer asked innocently as an Instructor replied ''Perhaps, are you interested in illusions? Well, the one that launched it was Dean Ben!''

''Oh, it was him, huh... Well, I'm not really interested, I was just curious, so, how much time it usually takes before all 20 get out of the illusion?'' Feuer said as a cold glint appeared on his eyes before it returned to normal, on the Dean Room, a certain person felt shivers and thought 'Maybe there's someone thinking bad things behind my back?'
Dozens of seconds passed as some youngsters woke up and looked around before clenching their fists as they felt happy for passing, a minute passed as the remaining to complete 20 woke up, Luar being included in those, looking around, he spotted Feuer and went near him ''So you passed, that's nice, buddy! Well, which ranking were you?''
Feuer smirked and said ''I was, of course, the first to wake up, anyway, what was your illusion?''
Luar felt embarrassed as he said ''...It was of a giant mosquito trying to bite me, you know, right? I'm terrified of mosquitos, and yours?''
''It kept playing the image of my mother on the coffin'' Feuer said without caring much but Luar patted his shoulder ''No need to worry, as I said, I broke it instantly'' he lied, it's not like he'll go around saying 'Oh, I'm from another world and I saw the death of my past life parents playing continuously!' because it is plain stupid.
The Instructor coughed to get the attention of the 20 youngsters and said ''As you know, we'll be holding an optional tournament to decide the Top 10, if you don't want, you can leave, it won't change the fact that you're now an Aurora Academy student!''
This time, four commoners passed the recruitment which is a shocking thing, however, they knew that they're no match for the 16 youngsters of Noble birth that passed it so they decided not to join, then, the Instructor lifted the Illusion, surprisingly, no one complained of not passing, it made Feuer think 'Did they knocked someone out and threw them without clothing out when they complained or something?'
Little did he knew his guess couldn't be surer, the Instructor then said ''There'll be eight fights simultaneously to make things quicker'' as he clapped his hands and seven more arenas appeared side to side.
Feuer first fight was against a youngster from the Vind Clan, knowing that they're already in trouble, he decided to spice things up as before the youngster could give up, he quickly appeared beside the youngster his crotch, this made his next two opponents give up even before fighting, they knew they were no match and also that they don't want to lose their fertility.
The Top 10 was practically decided as things went smoothly for both Luar and Feuer, they were about to face each other as Luar said ''We're going to fight again, buddy, be careful not to get hurt, haha!''
Feuer didn't say anything, he isn't the kind of person that talks while fighting because he puts complete concentration on it, he just smiled widely as the fight started.

But he knows one thing. He must feed and he isn't too bothered on how, only when. Through his struggles to survive trying to take his place in this world. It, the world will be forever changed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My first story here so let's do it! hopefully with flying colors. (This story is not about an insect that goes on an edgelord, death rampage, so those who came for that, know now what you are reading and stop rating down thx, still, some murder and mayhem is involved) Feel free to critique, I will be checking on reviews and comments every now and then to see what others think of my writing and how I might adjust it in the future. (although I'm also doing this for fun so don't get your knickers in a twist if things don't change to your liking). (Know that even if you comment/review that doesn't mean I will respond or that I will take your advice, after all, I too have my own preferences). A chapter tends to come out every fortnight, however sometimes it may be sooner or later, It depends on how lazy I'm feeling or how busy I am. Ps. A friend of mine drew the cover art, appreciate its homebrew goodness. PPs. serious readers may want to read the author's notes as well. PPPs. If you rate down please say why, I want info, not merely ratings that don't tell me anything, preferably in comments, so I can try to best satisfy my audience, or at the very least understand their reasons.

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)

Still life (or virtual life) throws you curve balls and you never know what will happen.
