章 4: Prophecy
"Watch me carefully, Fei'er"
"Yes!"
A middle-aged man with scholarly robes can be seen holding a sword with his left hands. He seemed to be teaching the brat across him who's looking back at him with glittering eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.
*Woosh*
The middle-aged man moved! He moved the sword as if it's his hands, versatile and flexible. Although, he did not use any profound energy, it still produced roaring winds ready to rip apart any kinds of obstacle it may face.
Profound energy is an energy used by species within this world, important to the point that it's being used everyday. With this energy, they can try and cultivate to achieve greater heights, aiming to surpass their limits. Flying is one thing, but destroying space with mere fist is a cool thing!
Meanwhile, the brat looked at the middle-aged man with glittering eyes filled with excitement and.. thrill. When the winds was approaching the brat, it would, for some reason, disperse. Of course, the one dispersing it isn't some kind or treasure, and most specially.. it's not the brat but rather the man!
One cannot imagine just how high is the middle-aged man's attainment and success when it comes to swordplay. After a while, the middle-aged man stopped moving which made the room peaceful once again as if nothing even happened here. Looking closely, there's not even a single trace of sweat within the man's face.
"Fei'er, did you learn anything?"
"Uhm.. Sorry, dad.."
"It's fine, son. We can just train once again."
So it's a couple of father and son. The middle-aged man ruffled his son's hair with care and love found within his pair of eyes.
*Knock* *Knock*
Suddenly, somebody knocked the door twice as that someone asked the middle-aged man if he can enter with respect being traced within his tone.
"Enter."
"Yes, chief.."
A man wearing a couple of iron armor entered the room while lowering his head in a subservient way, with respect flashing within his pair of eyes. He suddenly knelt before the pair of father and son without any hesitation.
"Reporting to chief, a young man suddenly appeared before the entrace of the village!"
"What's the big deal about that? Why report it to me?"
"Well.. you see.. chief.."
The guard explained how the young man suddenly appeared before the gate coupling with a roaring winds getting ripped apart. The chief can sense the fear and tremor within the guard's voice which made him raise his eyebrows.
"It looks like he's dangerous.."
"Actually, chief.. There's one more thing that is weird.."
"What's weird?"
"The young man doesn't have cultivation!"
"What?"
The chief's face suddenly darkened as he thought of the propechy that was given to them by the 4th village chief before dying. That chief was a woman with overwhelming talent when it comes to predictions!
The prophecy said that 'someday, someone would appear and destroy the village..' and 'he would do so.. without power and %@$#'. However, the prophecy paper is kind of destroyed which made some words blurry. All they know is that, someone would appear and destroy the village.
"Lead me to him.."
...
Allen was checking out the village before him with an interested look. He saw the guards looking at him warily as their eyes did not left him even a single time. He felt kind of happy that he can finally meet some human. After all, all he met these last few hours are savage and vicious beasts ready to rip him apart.
He slowly approached the village in an unhurried way which made the guard stare at him with cautiousness. Who can blame them? They saw Allen suddenly appear coupling with roaring winds getting ripped apart for some unknown reason.
"Halt!"
A voice suddenly reverberated across the perimeter as a couple of man appeared before Allen which made him stare at them with surprise.
"It's village chief!"
The guards overseeing the borders of the village suddenly roared in delight as if they're seeing some kind of idol that they adore and idolized. Allen saw all of this, and with that learned that one of these two is the village chief of this village.
The middle-aged man wearing a piece of scholarly robes suddenly stepped forward while looking at Allen with a severe face and tone.
"May I ask, foreigner.. Why are you here?"
"Oh. I'm a traveller.. It's been a while since I met some humans so I approached the village without even thinking."
"Oh..."
The chief looked at Allen with an inquiring look which made Allen stare at him with a goofy smile within his face. The man sighed as he waved his hands signalling the guards to disperse and go back to their posts.
"I wonder, foreigner.. Whether I can check your pulse?"
Allen looked at the chief with a stunned look wondering what this man is planning on doing to him. However, he knew that for him to enter this village, he would need to atleast do this chief a favor. If the chief did something to him, he can just use his power to reverse the time of his body..
"Sure!"
With Allen's affirmation, the chief approached Allen slowly with seriousness and severity within his gaze. Although, Allen is a bit unexperienced, he can sense severity within the man's gaze which made him wonderered just what is this chief's deal?
Allen readied himself as he slowed down the time a little bit whereas he's fast while everything around him is kinda slow. He waited the chief to perform whatever he's trying to do as he waited for almost an hour. Allen, did not grumble even a bit as he knew that it's better to wait than die unprepared.
After a while, the chief finally finished whatever he's trying to do as he retracted his hand that checked Allen's pulse. With this, Allen also resumed the time to it's natural state as he looked at the middle-aged man.
Allen noticed the chief's gaze softening as the chief sighed in relief which made Allen look at him with surprise found within his gaze.
"Sorry for everything, foreigner. I just confirmed something which is fundamentally related to our village. I'm sorry once again.."
The chief bowed as he expressed his apology to Allen which made him panic a bit as he's not used to such manners.
"It's fine, chief.."
"I am Mu Tan.. I'll guide you around our village."
"Thank you.."
Allen smiled as he anticipated different things, together with things new to him. After all, he's at another world! Knowing something is better than nothing.
"May I ask foreigner.. err.."
"Allen.. That's my name.."
"A weird name.. Going back, why don't you have any profound veins, dear guest?"
"What?"
