章 21: Perfect

Two months have passed since the incident.

Caesar bought a new halberd and brought from the institution's library a halberd martial art for himself, and daggers martial art for Theo. after that day they both began closed-door training, even Theo was excused of helping Robin in his research in order to focus on his training alongside Caesar.

During the two months, Caesar's level rose to the fifth and Theo to the sixth, and both were steadily moving towards the higher level.

But the real progress was made by Robin.. not because he is now at the top of the third level even though he is completely focused on his research, but because he has almost finished the composition of the perfect pattern of fire! Building on his earlier theory, Rubin patiently assembled the scattered pieces to form the perfect true pattern of the major law... something isn't even found in nature in the first place!

He technically completed it, except for one piece... No matter how much he used different fuels, that piece was different and he couldn't find a constant shape for it, after so many attempts, he finally gave up to finish it by sitting still, so he called "Theo, leave whatever you're doing and come here!"

Theo came running, and Caesar came with him out of curiosity, to hear Robin say, "I have a problem, there is a part of the pattern that is always a variable in all kinds of fuels, I can only choose the strongest option available.. and that's the strongest known source of the path of fire in the world.. volcanoes!

go ask for me about the nearest active volcano from here, I'm going to there today, and you'll accompany me... Hey, what are you doing there you bastard? Go and continue your training." Robin picked up a burning bone and threw it at Caesar who was trying to escape, but the throw was so accurate that it finally hit his butt.

-----------------

And indeed they set out on the same day for an active volcano located in a small mountain range 70 miles from the city, it was very far but because of his current level of training Robin and the fact that he now has an official identity card and wasn't afraid of trouble, he was able to reach it before the sunset of the next day.

looking at the wide crater and the viscous liquid exploding inside it, he was amazed "Wow, I had a fairly long life, but this is the first time I've seen a volcano, how magical..."

Theo, who was standing behind him with a large bag on his back, rolled his eyes away as if he wanted to say, 'How old are you? You don't look like you're 13 yet!' Then sat down to rest from the long trip and started thinking about preparing the tent and dinner.

But with one look, Robin scanned the complete pattern of fire in the volcano, spotted the missing piece, drew it on a scroll, then put it in the bag and patted Theo on the shoulder, "Let's go, we're going home!"

'Damn, we've just arrived at least let us rest a bit!' Theo panicked and started pointing at his leg.

Robin understood what he was getting at. "What kind of bodyguard are you? Come on. Every minute important," already starting to walk the same road they came from... which made Theo sigh and walk behind him.

---------------

Within another day they returned to house 207, Robin went straight into his room and instructed the two not to disturb him no matter what.

He wanted to start making the law cultivation technique today! he would begin translating the complete pattern of the major heavenly law of fire into understandable instructions and write them for Caesar.

But when he took out the scroll that had the missing piece of the pattern on it, he noticed something strange.. the roll was so hot.. so hot that it melted almost everything around it in the bag.

it was clear that the piece of the pattern had an effect on it! When Robin realized this, his body shivered...

This was the first time he draws some of the patterns he sees, he always tries to memorize them and this became easy because he sees the patterns wherever he looks. But he chose to draw this piece because he will not see it again unless he makes another visit to the volcano, and he certainly does not have the energy or the time to visit a volcano every now and then.

But he never expected that if he drew those patterns it could have such effect... "Obviously the scroll doesn't allow the pattern to release its force and it only translated as heat, but if I drew it on something decent... what would happen?" This opened up a whole new world for him!!

But he quickly restrained his thoughts, shook his head, and returned to his plans to write the major law of fire Cultivation Technique.

-------------

After another two weeks, he came out of his room with a thick book of about 600 pages and shouted, "Caesar, I have a little toy for you."

Caesar jumped out of his seat, and in a moment he was standing in front of him, "what is it, big brother?"

"In this book, there is a cultivation technique that has never been seen in this world before, the flames in nature are not pure, It's affected by the things they burn and therefore the true form of fire cannot be known,

even the Flame Emperor definitely fell into the same trap. as for me, I collected the real, pure law! Theoretically.. this flame can burn anything without resistance.. it will burn down even the laws themselves! You are the first person on the face of the planet to gain this kind of power... work hard.. don't you dare let me down" Robin handed the thick book to Caesar and then returned to his room and closed the door again.

It wasn't long before the sound of snoring could be heard from inside.. and an excited cry from outside.

This was the first time Robin had slept satisfied with peace of mind in a very long time.

That technique was the crown of his work for almost a century and a half! But it was also just the beginning of his true path

-------------

Robin slept this time for two days and three nights, but he was in an excellent mood when he woke up, especially when he saw Caesar curled up in his room practicing his new technique in earnest.

Then he walked a little until he reached Theo's room and found him trying his double daggers technique. He said, "If you don't need seclusion now, come with me, I feel like I need to take a walk..." When Theo heard him he stopped what he was doing and put the long daggers in their sheath then followed him silently.

On the way, Robin said softly, "Theo...you may not know, but what Caesar is now training in is a perfect fire technique that describes the first level of the major heavenly law of fire, a flawless technique that has never and will never appear better, since you are my subordinate now, I don't plan to leave you weak.

You will be my next target! I will give you three days to think about what heavenly path you want then tell me about it, and I will bring you the cultivation technique of its major heavenly law, how does that sound?

You are allowed to go to the institution's library and buy any book that talks about the laws and paths, choose whatever you see fit for you, and just give me its name.. I will take care of the rest. "

BOOOM Robin's words were said like nothing but made Theo's mind about to fly!

'Perfect major Law Technique? I can practice any major heavenly law just by pointing at it?!' This was way too much for Theo's mind to keep up with...

Although he looks clueless, he's still a cultivator and has a general idea of what the word 'major heavenly law' means, never the less a perfect one!

Also.. until this moment he still sees himself as a slave to Robin and Caesar, but Robin's words made him a follower worthy of respect and treated as Caesar himself.

While Theo was lost in thought and shocked, he heard Robin giggling, "Oh well, you don't make a good personal assistant anyway, it wouldn't hurt to buy one that really works for me this time." it was just then that Theo looked around and knew where they are.. in front of the slaves' platforms.
