《The Journey of The Three Immortals》Chapter 10 - In A Predicament
Advertisement
Five years later...
A young child of the age of nine, stood silently on the muddy walkway. Huo yi had grown up by a few centimetres, reaching 4.1 ft in height. His black silk hair had turned into a pale pinkish color due to the magic influence. They had to explain to Huo jin about the change of hair color.
"An old man gave me a drink, when I drank it my hair became pink!" (Woah that rhymes.) That day, Huo jin quickly rushed to find the doctor, lecturing Huo yi about trusting strangers.
He still retained his adorable and frail look though. In his left hand held a sliver rod with a red crystal, appearing worned out from multiple usage. Huo yi began to channel Fire Ki in his hand, flowing into the wand. He pointed the wand at one of the garden's tree.
"Fire blast!"
A large fire ball the size of a boulder appeared, shooting towards the tree in light speed.
'BOOM!'
A loud explosion resonated through the capital, shocking many who heard the sudden explosion
"Huff..Huff...I-I did it...!"
Huo yi looked at the results of the fire blast. It had made a large hole in the garden wall, with the tree reduced to black charcoal and ashes.
Although the blast was successful, Huo yi's knees trembled and fell on the ground. His body was fatigued since he trained from the early morning until afternoon.
Beside him, The three 'guardians' were checking out Huo yi's achievement. Not bad. He had made a lot of progress for the past five years, from a non-ranked Ki mage, he jumped to peak 2nd-ranked. If he continued at this rate, he could make another breakthrough in a few weeks.
"Good job maggot."
Eva patted Huo yi's head. Ever since he cried that day, she started to rub Huo yi's head whenever she feels like it. She does'nt know why, but it feels quite nice to comb through his soft and pink hair.

Celio looked at Huo yi with an approving look.
"Right now, I think your ability at handling the four elements is exceptionally good. Keep it up."
Although practicing Qi would harm Huo yi's soul, they still had Eva to take over if it came to a battle of strength when he ran out of Ki. She had body strengthing techniques, enabling a small kid to lift massive tons like a ant carrying an elephant.
After resting for a while, Huo yi went to bathe to rinse off the sweat and mud off his body, leaving the...'garden'. Apparently by the state of it, the poor servants would have to clean up the garden again.

Afterwards, Huo yi headed to the main hall to meet his father, he seems to have something important to say. Entering the hall, he greeted his guards and his father.
"Good afternoon father, uncle Lin and uncle Tang."
"Ah,Huo yi you have arrived, come and sit down next to me."
Huo jin was sitting down and eating some baked sweets from Li chen. Each of his side stood the two guards, Lin xiao and Tang yu. The two guards were relaxed for the past few years, they had seen Huo yi's magic, witnessing his Ki made them feel that Huo yi was capable of protecting himself.
Huo yi grabbed a wooden chair next to father, he sat down before grabbing a cookie from the table.
"Uhm...Father, you wanted to tell me something?"
"Yes Huo yi. In the next two days, there will a examination held at the Capital's sect, Azure Dragon. It is the number one sect prestigious for their warriors and their acceptance of both nobility and commoners."
Huo yi looked at his father with excitement, he never went to school before. His feelings about going to the Azure Dragon was both nervousness and anticipation.

"But father, I'm not suited to be a warrior..."
Huo yi thought about Huo jin's last sentence, warrior? He can't even cultivate Qi according to Eva.
"The sect has a mage division that is not performing well, I am afraid. But with your talents, I am sure that will change."
Huo jin smiled warmingly to his son. He had a great deal of pride in his son's magic. Huo jin and Li chen used to attend that school as Qi warriors. He could confirm that the place was safe.
"You will living in dorms there, rest assured, many of the teachers there are not biased towards nobility. But if anyone tries to bully you there... Tell me. I will obliterate them."
Huo jin said the last few words firmly. Anyone who hurts a single hair on his son, will pay with their deaths!
"Don't worry father, I will not disappoint you!"
Huo yi said with confidence. In truth, he was very afraid. What if they are mean and scary?
"Little yi, we will protect while you're there. So don't be scared."
Celio whispered to Huo yi. He was curious in how the children acted there. Were they like mindless robots like they were?
Huo yi's beating heart slowed down a little. That's right, he has heavenly beings protecting him. And if he ever encounter a problem, they could give him instructions on what to do.
Huo yi sat and chatted with his father for the rest of the day, happily talking about his progress In magic.
_________________________________
Two days passed with Huo yi practising his wind magic, he had learned how to push and pull wind. He dumped the multiple red and yellow wands in the trash, as the crystals broke. He headed out to the school with Lin xiao and Tang yu, to take the examination.
When they arrived at the sect gates, There was a thousand of people and children near his age gathering. The front gates were extravagant and massive, the two white pillars which supported the sign stood tall. The sect was extremely big, it could fit thousands of students.
The three entered the school grounds, where there was long lines divided into the warrior division and the mage division. There was much more people in the warrior line than the mage one by a large margin, it really shows how famous the school is for their Qi students.
Huo yi slowly walked towards the mage line with his head down low, Lin xiao and Tang yu standing back at where the parents stood at. He was not used to overly-crowded places. In addition, all the kids were taller than him!
"Bronze-rank Water Ki, 56 spirit force. Next!"
"Peak bronze-rank Fire Ki, 78 spirit force. Next!"
The three floating figures heard the tester's voice rang out. They then looked at the four doors behind them. Eh? Did this mean that every mage has a specific elemental Ki?...Shit.
"Fuck! What do we do? We taught the maggot all the elements, now hes gonna be the center of attention." (Eva)
"Blame Celio, He was the one who said he should learn all of it." (Eli)
"..." (Celio)
Celio rubbed his temples and sighed. How was he suppose to know that mages had specific elements? So much for low-profile.

Uh-oh! Looks like they are in trouble!
Hey guys, I will be posting a poll so that you can decide which class Huo yi will take.
Just a heads up though, the classes will lead to two types of romance, Straight or BL can take place.
The three are very open-minded, so the trio are bisexuals. I will add this in the synopsis soon.

Note: Slight edits to early chapters (and removal of one chapter - previously chapter 2) have been made 2/2/21 The city, my city, had once been alive in a way that was hard to describe. Thriving, active, hopeful. Vibrant. But life, as I had come to learn, sometimes possesses only the most tenuous of grasps. Finally, in the end, it became my city - mine alone. I was, after all, the only one left. Worse, it was entirely my fault. There was red in my ledger that could never be wiped clean. Not while I still lived, anyway. This story follows Eran, a man who became the opposite of everything he had ever wanted to be; in a world where superpowers began to appear in a rare few, his lack of control over his own power relegated him to the role of a terrible villain - the Reaper, named so for the countless lives that he absorbed and made his own, each only furthering his deadly lack of control. Gone mad with guilt and isolation, he strove for a single heroic act - his own demise. Death was less permanent than he hoped. Centuries later, he woke to a changed world and in a body not his own. Unfortunately, his power came with him. Yet this time, things would be different. This time, he had a chance to bring it under control. He could never truly make up for the things he had done; he could never achieve redemption. That wouldn't stop him from trying to be a hero.

A Chimerical Hope
The dream we share is simple: no traitors, no masters, only bugs united. Lucidity is a dreamer's sacrifice to reality, and our sacrifice is the vesperbane. A vile transformation through bat blood and black nerve, the vespertine arts grant a mantis power and control beyond this world. Only vesperbanes can give our grand dreams breath — but all vesperbanes are shadowed by an incorrigible potential to instead become oppressors and defectors. Three nymphs will undergo this metamorphosis, yet each holds another dream in their hearts: a scholar who must learn the secrets of the mind to bring the dead back to life; a servant who must atone for lives taken and find a cause unquestionable; and a rebel who must kill an angel and avenge a destroyed home. In this world, the mightiest wield the power to crush cities or spawn monstrous armies — here, there's always someone above you, and it's a long, arduous climb higher. But true power is wielded by those with the cunning and the connections to direct the mighty. In every shadow a conspiracy dwells, and these nymphs already have killers hounding them, spiders weaving webs around them. Anyone can climb to the top, anyone can tangle in these conspiracies — but what would you sacrifice along the way?
