A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 63: Elena

Then he thought back to what happened to him in the hall. He felt a tingling sensation at the region between his brows.

He didn't know what that was but it warned him of immediate danger happening to a close one.

He touched that spot and tried to feel it out but he felt nothing.

As he was thinking about it, someone came to his side. Alex came out of his thought to look at who came to him.

Then he saw that the person was a girl. With his cultivation perception sense, he could sense that the girl was in the peak-phase condensation stage.

Wow!

Alex's eyes shone with amazement. Give this girl some more years and she would break through into the earth adept stage.

She was beautiful. She had snow-white skin and dark black silky hairs. She had cute and lovable eyes and lips that was painted in pink. Her eye lids were painted pink and she wore a bright pink gown and sparkling pink shoes.

He was surprised.

It looked like she was going for a party or something like that.

"But is this how the girls dress here?" He asked inwardly. He felt the answer to his question should be yes. He had noticed this since the first day he had dinner in the dining hall.

But this was just the way this particular girl loved to dress. She loved dressing flamboyantly.

He asked after he regained his state of mind that was initially dazzled. "Hello beautiful, I see you came up to me, what can I do for you?"

The girl smiled. "Well, I want to be your friend. I hope it's not too much to ask?"

Alex's eyes widened in astonishment. "I would have agreed. But I don't want to start worrying about another person..." Alex was still speaking when his speech was cut short as the girl put in "I know. Like your friend that was poisoned. You were worried about him. If you have me as your friend, you would also be worried about me because I am connected to you" she said with a smile.

Alex nodded.

"Well, You don't have to. Instructor Micah can't touch me." she said with a smile.

"Huh? Really?" Alex asked.

"Sure." she replied.

Alex looked at her strangely. "It seems you know what is going on between Instructor Micah and Instructor Jennifer?" he asked.

"Yes. I do. The whole school too" she replied.

"I am not talking about the bet which you and the school knows about. I mean there is something brewing between Instructor Jennifer and Instructor Micah. And this can result in fatalities." he said.

The girl looked at him. "Oh. I don't know about that. Seems deeper than I thought. You know about it?" she asked.

"Yea." he said.

The girl nodded. Then she said "Since something is going on between the two of them, why are you involved. You should pull out of the matter or you could get your fingers burned."

"I know what I may say would sound foolish to you but it's just my personality. I never back down. I would help instructor Jennifer to the end. I promised her this. Going back on my promise would affect my determination and my goal." he said.

Then he looked at her and said with a smile "In the end, I am always a survivor."

"Oh. You wanna get involved in the matters between two powerful experts and survive?" the girl looked at him and asked.

Alex only smiled. "So what's your name?" he asked.

"Elena" she replied.

"Nice name. Earlier, you said instructor Micah can't touch you. Why's that?" Alex asked. He needed to deeply understand this point she made.

"We, let's just say my family is the strongest cultivation family in this state. My grandfather is in the peak-phase Sage General stage while the rest are in the Sage stage. So, he wouldn't dare do anything to me." Elena said with a smile.

Alex's eyes shone with amazement.

The Sage General stage was four ranks higher than the Saint emperor stage.

"That's a powerful family" he said.

He wondered how old her grandfather would be. Probably ten million years old, he thought.

Then he recalled the information his uncle transmitted to him when he was battling one of the Sae-uhl being.

He was extremely powerful as he was able to breathe in space, he had an extremely durable body when he transformed and produced energy-attacks that were the size of a small world.

He wondered what cultivation stage he would be in and then he thought of the cultivation stage his parent would be in.

He couldn't say.

They were extremely powerful.

"So, why do you want to be my friend?" Alex asked.

"Because I like pretty boys." she said with a small laugh.

"Huh?" Alex was flabbergasted.

She saw the look on his face and laughed. "Don't think you are that handsome. Your's is nowhere as great as my brother." she said.

"Oh." Alex felt hurt.

He had always thought he should be the most handsome boy in the world. This he arrived at from the way people looked at him, he felt he must be the 'god of looks and appearance'.

Elena saw the disappointment in his face and gave a smile.

Such cuteness.

"I was only kidding. I actually meant the opposite of what I said earlier" she said. Then she continued, "The reason I want to be your friend is because I like to make friends with geniuses."

Alex grinned.

"How do you know I am a genius?" he asked.

"Well I heard about the fight between you and Kenneth. You were overpowering and at the end, you made a great throw. That's one physical strength you were able to muster. Besides, you wouldn't be here if instructor Jennifer noticed no worthy thing about you. Since she brought you here, you must be a genius. Maybe an epic or probably the legendary one." she said with a smile.

Alex shook his head with a smile plastered on his face. "What about you? Since you are from a powerful family, you should be an epic genius yourself" he asked.

"Nope." she replied.

"If you want to sharpen your battle skills, you could try the training room. You could do this the day before your fight" she said trying to advise him.

"Oh. I actually fixed that day and the day before it for something else" Alex replied.

"Okay. What is that?" Elena asked.

"I got invited by the instructor that takes weaponmaking to the weapon forging room. He wants to teach me how to make treasure-weapons" Alex replied.

"Nice. You know where that is?" She asked.

"No. Not yet. When it's time, I would know where it's located." Alex replied.

"Okay. We could go there together. Our meeting point would be at the entry-stage lecture block which is the building you normally take lectures" she said.

"Okay. You got invited too?" Alex asked in a surprised tone.

"Nope. I am an apprentice there. I take weaponmaking as an extra subject which I pay for separately." she replied.

"That's great. Would I be able to apply too?" Alex asked.

"Sure. As long as you can afford the apprenticeship fee. Besides, you are connected to Instructor Jennifer, they would quickly take you in." she said.

"Alright. How many years does the apprenticeship last for till I become a licensed weaponmaker?" He asked.

He remembered one of his mom's hobbies which was she loved making weapons. And these were always peerless-rank treasure-weapons. He hoped he got her talent too in weaponmaking.

Besides, he had long decided to learn weaponmaking and design his own weapons.

He too wanted to journey round worlds and into isolated dangerous zones to get materials to build his weapons, just like those primeval cultivators mentioned in the weapons book whom forged marvel-weapons.

"For as long as possible. There are three stages you must be complete to become a certified weaponsmaker. These are red, yellow and violet. These correspond to level-1, level-2 and level-3. Level-1 is how to make the bodies of the weapons, level-2 is how to make arrays and level-3 is placing the arrays into voidstones. Once one achieve all these, you become a licensed class-1 weaponmaker." she replied.

"Hmm. Why the red, yellow and violet?" Alex asked. He didn't quite understand this.

"These are colors of uniforms to show what level you have reached. There is an amount of respect that comes with them." Elena replied.

"Cool." Alex said.

As Alex was about to chip in another question, he suddenly heard Jake's voice from behind.

"Hey, who do we have here?" he came out with a smile and asked.

Elena looked at him and asked. "Am I familiar to you?"

Jake shook his head with a smile plastered on his lips. "No you are not. Am just surprised to see the most beautiful girl in the world talking to my friend who doesn't like women" He said.

Alex's eyes shone.

What a bastard!

"Oh. He seems to like girls. If he doesn't, he wouldn't be here talking to me. He would have long left" Elena replied with a smile.

"Oh really? Well, that's good. I guess he's changing. You know, change is constant. This good boy once told me he doesn't like girls. Anyways, that's not important. What's important is, you are extremely beautiful" Jake said.

Elena smiled. "Aren't you the guy I heard was showered with food at the eating hall?" she asked.

Jake felt pangs of pain in his heart. That was something he would never forget in his life.

He faced it like a man. "Yea, I am. What's special about that? The girl was just too extreme. She is someone with an immature brain and abrasive behavior. I detest such people." he said.

Elena looked at him with astonishment in her eyes. This guy!

Alex looked at Jake and asked. "I saw you lie in bed to sleep. So your immoral ass wasn't sleeping?"

Jake didn't respond, he only smiled.

"Alex. I gotta go. If you want to talk to me on anything. You could come see me at my hostel block." Elena said.

"Oh. Are guys allowed into the female hostel block?" he asked.

"Sure. The academy encourages interaction between opposite sex. I am not talking about amorous interactions" she replied looking at Jake whose eyes had begun to glow.

Alex smiled. His friend was done for. He is now infamous in the whole academy.

Jake shook his head in unhappiness.

"So my hostel block is A-Block. Room 323. Would be expecting to chat with you soon" Elena said and winked at him.

"Alright. Talk to you later Elena" Alex said.

"Wait! You can't leave now? I just came out. Please talk some more. I wanna chat with you" Jake said hurriedly.

"Seems you are in desperate need of a female friend. If you want some so badly, go to the make-up room or hairstyling room. You would find so many beautiful girls in there." Elena said with a smile. Then she left.

Alex looked at Jake. "So asshole, thanks for degrading me." he said.

Jake looked back at him. "Mtcheew! Do you like girls? I can remember vividly that you said you don't like girls" He said trying to defend himself.

"Thanks for ruining me anyways. I am going inside" Alex said. Then he left Jake behind and went into the room.

Jake came in too.

"Alex, I am going to the cultivation block." he said.

"Okay. Just don't walk in any dark corner or into a silent place. We still have the issue of Instructor Micah on our head. Be careful out there" Alex said.

Jake nodded and left.

...

Fifteen minutes later..

On his way to the cultivation room. He suddenly saw some boys gather and begin to move behind him. His heart skipped a beat.

These bastards again.
