Scared that people would be able to expose Jedidiah's true Identity, His uncle and aunty made haste to quickly carry him out of the environment. Luckily for them, no law enforcement team or squad was present to arrest or detain him. If not, things would have been way worse.

Thanks to their quick thinking, they were able to successfully retrieve Jedidiah unharmed. However, things didn't seem to get better. Jedidiah had fallen into a deep sleep while they were carrying him away into the safety of the Great Silverback Gorilla Sect.

Upon their arrival, they were desperate to find a doctor. Jedidiah's aunt, Mary, stayed back to take care of Jedidiah. While his uncle, Alex, on the other hand, went out to find help from the matriarch.

This was the most urgent thing uncle Alex has ever been desperate for. He had already lost his brother in the past. The last thing he would want right now is to lose his nephew.

---

Standing in front of the sacred mountain of the matriarch, Alex yelled frantically for the guards to open the entrance gate for him.

"HEY, OPEN THE GATE! IT'S URGENT! I NEED TO SPEAK WITH THE MATRIARCH! PLEASE, JEDIDIAH'S LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!" Alex shouted desperately as he waved his token around frantically for the guards to see.

On the other hand, once the guards heard that Jedidiah's life was in trouble, they opened the gate for his uncle, Alex. Everyone knew how important Jedidiah was to this sect. After all, his grandfather would have been the patriarch or vice patriarch if not for his decision to leave the sect.

Now, Jedidiah's life is in danger, how can they let these types of things happen? They not only lost his grandfather before, but they also lost a potential general or elder; Jedidiah's father, David.

Seeing the doors opening, Alex didn't waste his time. He quickly flew up the sacred mountain all the way into the matriarch's headquarters. Now, it must be known, it's illegal and frowned upon for anyone who is not a high official to fly on the sacred mountain of the matriarch. If found, the penalty would be death, or brutal punishment, as they would be seen as enemies or traitors of the sect.

However, Jedidiah's uncle, Alex is a general and an elder whose status is equal to the 4 grand elders. This means that he is more than qualified to fly up the sacred mountain of the matriarch because he answers to no one but her and the 4 grand elders only.

Entering Fiona's headquarters, Alex ran to her throne with all the humanly possible speed he could acquire.

"Help me! Please, help me! I think Jedidiah is in grave danger!" Alex shouted desperately as tears ran down his cheeks.

Concerned, Fiona stood up from her throne and met Alex. Her body strength was so strong, her speed left nothing but dust. No, after images were found at all.

"What happened? Is he okay? Oh, how about Mary, is she okay too?" Fiona asked as she scanned Alex for any Injuries.

Panting, Alex tried his best to control his emotions.

"Earlier today, Mary and I took Jedidiah to the Panel Martial School. It was their enrollment day, as you must have heard, and we wanted to see if he was good enough to be recruited into the school.

We both know how important these stages in the lives of youths are. Especially for those youths who aspire to become martial cultivators one day. That being said, we Mary registered Jedidiah up, so that he could attempt their entrance examination.

Everything was smooth and safe until Jedidiah and his ground were called in for their own turn. I don't know exactly what happened after that, but all I know is that something happened during their second trial; the sparring trial." Alex said as he was still struggling to hold his panting.

"Okay, so what happened during the second trial? Listen, be honest with me. If Jedidiah's life depends on it, you might as well tell me everything." Fiona warned sternly.

"Whoa(exhaling), Okay. So this is what I know. An hour and some minutes had gone inside since when Jedidiah and his group were called to take their tests. During that time, Mary and I took the initiative to meet new people and be cordial. Sometime during one of our conversations, the room started getting hot. Harsh winds could be heard blowing from outside, and the roof above us was shaking violently. Even the walls were swaying on each side, to the left and right.

Cautious and scared, the moment we noticed what was going on, we had one person in mind; Jedidiah. Concerned for his safety, Mary and I chose to wait patiently amidst whatever was going on outside.

Not long after, the ground started quaking heavily. The room got hotter and hotter by the second, and the roof above us was broken into smothering bits by a harsh wind. Outside, there was a disastrous thunderstorm brewing. Hail, the size of my fist rained down heavily on us like flying bullets. Many people around us in the waiting room died due to this.

As for the others, they were either struck by lightning or torn apart into shreds by the numerous tornadoes outside. Just as Mary and I were about to flee to find safety, we heard a loud cry coming from the arena. In fear, Mary and I entered the arena. Only to see the ground cracked as lava from the ground was sprouting out like a water fountain.

Seeing this, we were both concerned. So, we started searching for Jedidiah. Only for us to find him flying in the sky like an eagle. He flew so high, we couldn't see him through the thick black thunderstorm.

Not long after, he was flying downwards. I fear that he didn't know how to control his abilities, so he fell into the lava directly." Alex said.

"Oh, interesting. So Jedidiah can fly, eh? He must be a martial genius blessed with affinity to air! Don't worry, a genius like that is not something we can afford to lose" Fiona said aloud, as she digested everything Alex was telling her.

Hearing the kind praises of Fiona, Alex felt relieved because he knew he didn't have to say the other parts of the story. Plus, now Fiona thinks that Jedidiah is a martial genius, she would see him as a potential future investment. Due to this, she is naturally inclined to do anything to save Jedidiah's life.

"Haha, Jedidiah is a martial genius!" Fiona rejoiced happily as she reminisced this idea in her head.

"Hurry please! Remember, his life depends on this!" Alex warned.

He did this so that he could successfully avoid any other questions about today's tragic event. Plus, Jedidiah's life also depended on how early they're able to react.

----

Later that day, Fiona's personal doctor saw Jedidiah. He attended to Jedidiah's wounds and even ran all sorts of tests and checkups in case there were any underlying illnesses with Jedidiah

40 minutes later, when he was done running his tests. It became time for him to announce his verdict on Jedidiah's wellbeing.

"Huh, where do I start? Jedidiah has some minor injuries all over his body. For a child who entered the lava, he should have more than wounds. However, I guess he was lucky. If not, he is probably also a double innate martial cultivator attuned to air and fire." The doctor announced.

Hearing the doctor's words, Fiona and the grand elders didn't wait for the doctor to finish. Filled with ecstasy, they were already rejoicing as they thought of all the future possibilities. Some of the grand elders were also thinking about how they could convince Alex and Mary into persuading Jedidiah into becoming a direct disciple under them someday.

Ignoring their rude behavior, he continues on with his announcement.

"His body seems to be healing fine, so he should be alright. From the looks of his injuries, his body has a higher ability to heal quicker than normal. That being said, he needs to rest. Give him at least a day or two before you try to wake him up. If he is still sleeping on the third day, call me." The doctor said to Alex and Mary.

After that, the doctor left the house without a word. Surely, he must have been extremely busy because he did not want to converse with others. Maybe he has important research or a pill he has been studying or trying to make for some time now.

---

Not long after the doctor left, Fiona made up her mind to get to the bottom of this situation. How can she let the future investment of her sect be toyed with like this? For she knows, it is extremely rare, especially in a dwarf planet for a dual attuned martial artist to be raised here.

Even on planets larger than Paan, it is hard to find gifted individuals who train in the way of martial arts and art attuned to more than one element. Due to this, she said to herself, "I can't lose Jedidiah. It's only right for me to protect him. Tomorrow, I will go to the academy to find out what happened."

Soon after, she left.

------

The following day, Fiona went to the panel martial academy. Expecting to hear something like, "It was an enemy attack" or "It was a rival academy who attacked us". She was welcomed to a rude awakening.

As Alex feared, the news about Jedidiah had already begun to spread fast like a wildfire. There was almost no neighboring town that didn't know what happened the other day.

It turns out that Jedidah is the cause of everything that happened yesterday, and the families of those who lost their loved ones to Jedidiah are planning a 690 strong party who would search for Jedidiah and kill him to avenge their dead.

Saddened by the news of how many lives were lost to Jedidiah yesterday, Fiona made a personal decision to write an expulsion note to Alex decreeing Jedidiah's expulsion from the sect.

----

3 hours later, in the afternoon.

There was a knock on the door. The knightly vessels announced the arrival of an envoy from the Matriarch. Hearing this, both Mary and Alex were scared. However, they also knew that if they didn't answer the door, they would be suspected of partaking in Jedidiah's crimes.

Opening the door, Alex saw a letter on the doorpost. It was from the Matriarch, Fiona. As for the envoy, he was nowhere to be found. Not too worried by this, Alex took in the mail and shut the door behind him.

When he got inside, he opened the mail and read it aloud.

"Dear Alex and Mary,

It brings me great pain to say this, but Jedidiah is from here on expelled from the Great Silverback Sect. It is not only my decision but my counsel. We ran an investigation on the Panel Martial Academy and found out that Jedidiah was not only responsible for everything there, but he is also responsible for the death of more than 690 individuals.

Due to his 'careless' actions, the relations of everyone lost in Jedidiah's hands have formed a joint alliance to find and kill Jedidiah. We don't know whom he may have offended, however, his actions may lead to the destruction of our dear sect.

Assuming he only killed Wu Dao, we will have been able to bypass some things. However, due to the great amount of threat he poses to the sect, we have to let him go. We understand if you wish to leave with him, just know that our doors are forever open to the both of you.

All the best,

The council."
