Legendary Soul Art

"Can you get off me first?" Number One suggested as he looked down between her arms. "Your butt is grinding on my crotch."

The realization hit Luna like a train but she simply lifted her bottom without releasing his shirt. "I said I won't let go unless you tell me. You are just going to run away."

"Where?" Number One replied while raising his arms helplessly. "You are literally in my room. I can at most run away to the bathroom."

Luna couldn't find words to refute such a valid point and eventually let go while climbing off his body. She then watched over him like a hawk so he couldn't leave even if he wanted to. "Alright, tell me now."

"What do you want to know again?" Number One asked as he sat up.

"What did you mean earlier? Why I wouldn't understand?" Luna repeated the questions from earlier. She sounded excited to finally learn the truth but Number One's explanation caused her smile to falter.

"You were born into a rich family with great talent and everything was presented to you. Boundless resources, Soul Arts, and best teachers. You had everything you could imagine," Number One pointed out honestly. "You wouldn't understand what it feels like to start from nothing and have logs thrown at your feet every single day."

Luna gritted her teeth while clenching her fists. "You think my life is so easy, huh? Imagine working your ass off every day until you can't even move to bed but people will still say my success is all because of my background. No one cares how much I train. If I could, I would rather be born poor so everyone can recognize my efforts."

Luna paused as she glared at Number One and shot back at him, "Also, what do you know about starting from zero?! Not only do you have supreme talent but your master even gave you a Legendary Soul Art! Ask anyone in the Academy. They would trade their parents for such a headstart!"

Number One raised his eyebrows before the corners of his lips started to lift. He tried to resist but couldn't stop himself and eventually started laughing while rubbing his eyes.

"What are you laughing at?" Luna questioned with squinted eyes. "This is the truth."

"I'm laughing because I thought you figured out my secrets already," Number One explained while finally relaxing. "I was worried you might use it against me but it turns out you don't know anything."

Number One cracked his fingers happily and stood up. "There, you got what you wanted. Now you know why I wished to stay away from you. I thought your knowledge would be better than others so I didn't want to expose my secrets to you."

Luna was momentarily speechless with her body shaking but Number One continued before she created another fuss. "I can't talk about my secrets but I will correct one thing that rubbed me the wrong way. You said I received a Legendary Soul Art from my Master but that's incorrect. The only thing I got from him is emotional damage while the Soul Art is stolen. I wanted to keep something as a memento before I ran away."

Luna raised her finger at him as if wanting to threaten him but no words came out. Number One somehow praised her by expecting more from her than others but then she felt insulted when he stopped worrying about her.

Number One didn't give her more time to think of a coming as he suddenly started unbuttoning his pants. "Are you just going to watch me strip naked or do you also want to join me in the shower? I wouldn't mind having a pretty scrub buddy. This blood is hard to clean."

"Shameless!" Luna exclaimed as she shoved him away and stormed towards the door with her face reddened. "This is not over! I will discover your secrets one by one just to prove you wrong! Just you wait!"

The door closed shut with a bang but Number One was still smiling. He actually thought she had already discovered his poor Soul Talent and his small quantity of Soul Energy but it seemed like she didn't see the whole fight. She could easily blackmail him with that information which wouldn't be a fun experience.

Even though Number One could relax, Luna was too stubborn to leave him alone and would for sure trouble him in the Academy. He could only ignore her and pretend he was overpowered like he used to do for the past few years.

"Fuck, it's all stuck…" Number One cursed when he pulled his hair together with his pants which forced him to enter the shower fully clothed. He slowly soaked his pants before he was finally able to strip and wash them properly.

He took this opportunity to pull out a Yellow Soul Crystal from his Storage Ring and slowly recovered his Soul Energy. Even if it took him at least an hour, he didn't mind and stayed consistent throughout the whole process.

One could wonder how Number One managed to become a Soul Artist even with a White Soul Talent and the answer was right in the middle of his chest. It wasn't his strong heart though but rather the triangle-shaped golden crystal that was permanently embedded into his skin.

After filling his Soul to the brim with new Soul Energy, Number One sat down under the shower stream and closed his eyes. He focused his mind on the crystal and his consciousness split in two. In the next second, he no longer heard the water and his body appeared in a familiar space he had already visited thousands of times.

"I'm almost done with the first one…" Number One commented as he looked ahead with a deep breath.

The space inside the golden crystal looked like heaven with puffy clouds and endless sky till the horizon. Number One was standing on a cloud with nothing but a small bowl on a stand and a massive golden door blocking him from exploring further. The door was shining brightly from the bottom to the top with only a tiny bit remaining dim.

When Number One first stole the golden crystal, he thought he could sell it and afford a good living for a few years but it turned out to be an opportunity he couldn't give up on. The golden crystal allowed him to finally improve his Soul and become a Soul Artist even with his trash Soul Talent.

Each time Number One emptied his Soul Energy and refilled it again, the golden door increased its light while the bowl filled with a single drop of a tasty liquid. That liquid happened to increase the capacity of his Soul and refreshed his body, making his skin and body tougher.

After drinking the liquid every day, it eventually allowed him to perform the first Legendary Soul Art that was stuck in his mind since he touched the door for the first time.

"I wonder if I can get a second Legendary Soul Art and another godly treasure after the door finally opens," Number One wondered as he gently lifted up the bowl as if it was his newborn baby and gulped down the single drop. His throat immediately warmed up and his body trembled with ecstasy.

Number One had nothing else to do in that space so he quickly returned to the real world. He could see the liquid has worked since his skin was once again perfect even though he spent hours in the water.

'I only got ten Yellow Soul Crystals left. I better get to work,' Number One thought after scanning his Storage Ring and was about to dress a fresh set of his Academy Uniform when someone knocked on his door.

Number One was standing in the corridor completely naked when the door opened without a warning and Luna's face peeked inside. "Why are you still in your room?! The class has started ten minutes ag—"

Luna wasn't able to finish her scolding as her gaze locked onto Number One's naked body and traveled down his lower belly. She momentarily froze when her eyes witnessed the glory of his massive erection.

"Ahhhh! You pervert!" Luna screamed in panic and shut the door in a blink of an eye.

Number One only chuckled at her reaction as he was completely unbothered. He was used to getting erect every time he drank the golden liquid so it wasn't a rare occurrence.

"I guess it was the first time she saw one this big…"
