“Mmh,Iunderstand.” Yao Si nodded. Even though she had been on a ban from leaving home for the past few months, she hadn’t spent that timein vain. She still did herschool work and had learnedalot through the Galactic web. In general, all the common knowledge that she lacked she managed to learn during the last couple months. “Oh, what’s this?”
She pointed toward the most striking document in the middle. It didn’t seem the same as the others – there werethree photosat the top of it, each of them containing a profile of a person with a flashing medal.
“Oh, it’s a friendly competition between The First Academy and Zhuo Feng academy. It’s held in the 31st district of Demon Planet. These are the top three participants who were able to protect the safety of all the members while at the same time improving their mental strength.”
“Mental strength?” Yao Si grasped the main pointswiftly.“Isn’t that an ability? Why is the third student from the elementary level biological series?”
“Strictly speaking, mental strength isn’t an ability, sinceevery race can posses mental strength,” Nephew Gu explained.“It differs only in it’s intensity. Mental strength is linkedtoone’s awareness, soa stronger sense of awareness would lead to a strongermental strength.”
“You mean…mental strength has nothing to do with our abilities?”
“You could say it that way.”
Yao Si stilled, a thought forming.
She was reminded of Euphoria. Recently, they seemed to have vanished into thin air. This could normally mean only two things.The first possibility was that they wasn’t as big of an organization as she hadpredicted, so they had already all died out. This would be the ‘good’ possibility.
The other was… quite terrible in comparison. It would mean that Euphoria’s management is massive, and highly secretive, to beable to operate without alerting both the Alliance and the bloodlings.
This would then lead to the fact thatthey couldfight on equal ground against the entire Alliance andtheRed Planet. There would be no need to speak of having grasped their limits, let alone come close to their heart.
If this was the actual situation, their disappearance could potentially mean a great dangerbrewing in the dark, waiting for the right time to spring out. If Euphoria was really this good, then Yao Si might be in danger after having revealed her fifth generation bloodline.
This might have be the main reason why Mu Xuanhadrefused to let her outduring thelast couplemonths! Even though they had won the battle at the base, luck had played a large role in the outcome. If she hadn’t been able to summon her ability, if she hadn’t been facing bloodlings, if the power of her bloodline hadn’t erupted, she would have never won with such ease. Basically, her ability was too volatile; she was too weak.
She made up her mindthen. She was going to do summer training!
“No!” Mu Xuan vehemently objected after hearing her thoughts.
“Why?” Yao Si asked, startled.“I heard that it’s the bestplacefor training one’s mental strength.”
“It’s too dangerous.” It hasn’t been long since she had come back from the research base, yet here she was ready toriskherselfagain.Besides, the places she was choosing to go to were getting increasingly more dangerous. She was just a cub, so how could he allow that.
“Mu Xuan.” Yao Si sighed, looking at him seriously.“You know about my ability…Ishould actively seek out ways to protect myself.”
“There’s me!”Who would daretobullymy cub with me around?
“But you can’t always be by my side.”
“…”
He sunk into silence. His cub was right, of course. Self-defence was the best form of defence. Yet even though he was clearon that, he couldn’t help a wave of sorrow rising withinhim. His cub was all grown up and ready to leave. What should he do? This was an emergency!
