Becoming the Master of the Bright Light Academy seemed like a daunting task, and I couldn't fathom why the system had chosen such a quest for me. Seeking clarity, I turned to Albert for insight. "Albert, who currently serves as the master of the Bright Light Academy?" I inquired. Albert's response was sobering. "Master Bowan holds that title. He's at the Early Master stage of Cultivation, but his methods are notorious for their cruelty. He's known to resort to torture if his students fail to meet his demands." Appalled by this revelation, I pressed further. "Why haven't the students lodged complaints against such barbarity? Surely the government would intervene." With a somber expression, Albert explained, "Unfortunately, the government turns a blind eye to such matters. Their priority lies in maintaining the academy's profitability and influence. Those who dared to speak out were swiftly silenced or removed from the equation." Concerned about the danger, I hesitated. Just as doub
The next morning, accompanied by Albert, I made my way to the imposing gates of the Bright Light Academy. The cool breeze of dawn whispered promises of new beginnings as we ventured into the heart of the academy. Before departing, I diligently completed my daily tasks, a routine ingrained in me by the ever-demanding System. As a reward, I acquired a newfound technique: the Water Flowing technique. This advanced mortal-level movement technique promised to enhance my agility with its focus on one-step leaping. Arriving at the academy bright and early, anticipation coursed through my veins. Albert and I stepped inside, greeted by the serene atmosphere of the academy grounds. We were met by a disciple, their demeanor formal yet welcoming. "Hello, gentlemen. What brings you to our humble abode?" the disciple inquired, extending a courteous handshake. Albert, always adept at navigating social interactions, took the lead. "We're here to enroll him as a student," he responded, gesturing to
Entering the expansive training hall with Albert by my side, I took in the sights of various training equipment and students engaged in different exercises. Wooden dummies lined one corner, intended for hand-to-hand combat training, while on the opposite side, there were bands and assorted equipment designed to strengthen different parts of the body. Observing the diverse group of individuals, some clad in traditional karate attire and others in casual wear, I noted at least 15 prospective students seeking admission. Positioning myself behind the crowd, I signaled for Albert to stay back, considering he wasn't a student of the academy. After a brief wait, a trainer strolled into the training hall, projecting an air of laziness. "Welcome to the Bright Light Academy," he declared indifferently. "On your right, you'll find wooden dummies for combat practice, and on your left, training machines to suit your needs. If you believe you're strong enough for the next level, step into this roo
The trainer's gloomy expression shifted to a begrudging acknowledgment. "Yes, you have passed the test. You may enter the next floor," he reluctantly declared. I acknowledged his response with a simple "Thank you" and proceeded to the second floor. As I ascended, the surroundings underwent a noticeable upgrade. The second floor appeared more refined and well-maintained compared to the relatively basic setting of the first floor. Upon reaching the second floor, a student named Brad welcomed me. He cupped his hands and greeted, "Welcome to the second floor. May I know your name?" I responded with a straightforward introduction, "Danial Crawford." Brad, showing polite curiosity, continued, "Since you are here, you must have passed the test on the first floor?" "Yes, that is correct," I affirmed. "Okay, please follow me," Brad said, gesturing for me to accompany him. Together, we entered the hall on the second floor, revealing the diverse training areas that were categorized into thr
A Practice fight was about to begin in the combat training hall.The fight was between two brothers named Pavan and Adren. Both are really good at combat and are considered the strongest in the combat training hall.But due to some conflict, they decided that only one can gain the title of the strongest in the training hall.Since the only way to settle the conflict was a fight, the trainer decided It would be best if the fight was observed by all of them.I noticed that Pavan's face was slightly pale and his breathing was uneven while Adren was smiling creepily.I immediately thought of something and went to Pavan.It's not that I fancied Pavan nor I wanted to gain any favour. It's just that I couldn't bear to see someone lose because of a trick and betrayal. I guess maybe my sense of justice was too strong. I went up to Pavan and greeted him "Hey Pavan "Pavan turned around looked at me and said "Hello, do I know you?"I said, "Actually I just entered the academy.""Oh ok what do y
The trainer noticed the heavy atmosphere and immediately said "Stop fighting over unnecessary things and help me get him to the inflammatory"Adren immediately shut his mouth and I helped Pavan to the inflammatory.In the inflammatory, Pavan was treated and the doctor said that it was an infection in his stomach caused by some unknown elements which made Pavan even more suspicious of Adren.Pavan came out looking a little pale but not as pale as in the beginning. He came to me and said "Thank you Danial if you had not warned me I would have been alive right now"I said " You don't have to be so kind Pavan I did What I had to do regardless"As we were exchanging pleasantries Adren came over and said arrogantly " Brother Pavan you are still unwell, tsk look at you.On one side there's you, pity and succumbed weakness and on one side there's me Strong and confident and also I have the title of the strongest martial artist in the combat hall"I said coldly " You really think that punny ti
The next day I thoroughly explained to my mom why I was late and why I joined the Martial arts academy.She didn't take the matter too seriously and gave me some leniency. I wanted to go to the academy to see and observe the combat hall to gain some insight into actual martial arts. Also, I wanted to see what would Adren do now he miserably lost against me yesterday.Just as I was getting ready my phone rang. It was Dorothy. I picked up the phone and said "Hey Dorothy what's up""Hey, Danial are you free right now?"I said "Not entirely but yeah ""Okay meet me at my house right now"I asked confused" But why what happened"Dorothy said hastily " Are you coming or not "I replied quickly " Okay okay I am coming"" Thank you Danial meet you at my house "I looked at my phone with a weird expression " What a crazy ass girl"I decided I would go to the academy later on since my mom allowed some leniency in time.I went directly to Dorothy's house and rang the doorbell. Dorothy opened t
I accepted the offer because why not who knows what will happen?I decided not to go to the academy since Warren already offered a ride to the company. It was better since will help me understand the functionality of the company and improve my knowledge.The Sterling Technology was the biggest company in the southerland district and it covers the fields such as Construction, entertainment and most importantly Technology.The entry procedures went smoothly with Warren's help.
