"That's… Sword Aura!?"
It wasn't only Emilia that reacted violently — everyone's mouths were extremely open as they stared at the seemingly solid form of lith in Lucian's hand. Some of them, even rubbed their eyes to see if they were seeing clearly or if there was just dirt in their eyes. But no matter how much they rubbed or wiped, the lith with the shape of a scalpel was still there.
Matthew, in particular, almost caused his eyes to dry out as he was in complete disbelief at what he was seeing.
Emilia, on the other hand, could not even hide the smile on her face — in truth, she actually already knew that Lucian was enrolled in the Academy and was even going to be in her class; she is, after all, one of the daughters of the Headmaster. She had already told her parents about Lucian, but they did not seem to be that interested at all since they hadn't seen him in person…
…but now, they would have no choice but to accept that Emilia truly found a prospect that could separate them from the rest of the Cultivator Academy.
But of course, perhaps the most intrigued out of everyone there was the instructor.
"Sword Aura…" The monotonous tone of the instructor's voice was completely gone; his hair which was as long as Lucian's, now even more disheveled than his as he carried a somewhat manic look on his face, "...Interesting, very interesting. It is completely unheard of for someone in the Spirit Infant rank to exhibit Sword Aura…
…is that something you have gained due to your experience, Mr. Lucian?"
"Sword Aura?" Lucian blinked a couple of times as he looked at the solid lith in his hand, "This is a scalpel, Mr. Instructor."
"You are really, really interesting…" The instructor then started licking his lips as his body started to sway, "...This makes this even more fun!"
And once again, the instructor rushed toward Lucian. This time, however, Lucian did not move at all or try to dodge; just letting himself be hit by the instructor's lith claws—no. The so-called Sword Aura dissipated from Lucian's hand; his lith, now crawling across his body to shield him from the instructor's attack.
"Ho…?" The instructor let out a small cackle as his attacks became faster and faster — and very soon, he even spun; kicking Lucian's head… and of course, using lith to extend his attack.
Lucian leaned away to dodge… and also covered his head with lith to protect himself. And before Lucian could straighten his body, the instructor waved both his hands at the same time; targeting different areas of Lucian's body.
This made no difference at all, however, as Lucian just calmly dodged one of the attacks, and then using his solid lith to block the other that he couldn't.
"T—That old man can't even fight back anymore! Ha…Haha!" Matthew let out a loud scream as he cheered for the instructor, "He's out of tricks, Teach! Finish him!"
"No…" Emilia shook her head and whispered as she had been watching Lucian's face since the start — and he had actually been looking at the instructor's fingers the entire time. And very soon, everyone realized why.
"Hm…" Lucian let out a small breath as the solid lith crawling across his body to protect him started to split up.
"!!!" Even the instructor seemed extremely shocked at this as he quickly leaped back to look at Rhys.
"That—!!!" Emilia could really only cover her mouth as she saw Lucian's lith crawling from his torso; separating and then moving to both his hands before ultimately surrounding his two index and middle fingers.
Sword Aura was called Sword Aura because it is an indication that one had already mastered both Lith control and their sword techniques; hence being able to just visualize that one was holding a sword, and materializing it with lith.
The instructor could shape his lith into claws because that is what he practiced his entire life — but Lucian…
…Lucian was able to form his lith into a different weapon? No, from its shape…
…it was the same as what the instructor was using.
"I feel my lith running out, Mr. Instructor," Lucian, of course, was completely oblivious to what he was doing as he finally moved from his spot and stepped toward the instructor; both his index fingers and middle fingers, extended.
"Ho…hohoho…" The instructor started shaking his head as a sinister smile crawled on his face, "...You're exceeding my expectations, Mr. Lucian!"
And with those words, he also rushed toward Lucian — this time, however, Lucian moved his arm a single millisecond after his… and poked him right beneath his armpit.
"!!!" The instructor could feel his arm instantly getting limp. But he did not mind at all as he swung his other hand — but as he did so, Lucian ducked down and then once again poked the spot beneath his arm — now effectively paralyzing both his arms in just two swift motions.
Lucian then moved away; just walking to the side while keeping his head down — and without even any hesitation, he poked the side of the instructor's body several times before moving onto his spine…
…completely paralyzing his entire body.
"Did—"
Before anyone could react or the instructor's body could fall to the ground, however, the instructor suddenly burst out into a fit of maniacal laughter. And as soon as he did so, everyone felt a weight crawling through their backs as the instructor started freeing up the lith he restricted.
The full blast of lith of a Spirit Master.
"What else are you hiding in that body of yours, Mr. Lucian!?" The instructor's body completely recovered as he canceled the restriction of his dantian; the smile on his face, even wider than before.
Lucian really only stared at him before once again raising his fingers; this time, aiming for the instructor's neck. But before he could actually even move, the instructor just suddenly appeared standing right in front of him — his hands, already on his chest.
And with just a single breath…
…Lucian found himself violently rolling across the ground and slamming his back on the wall.
"N…No! Mr. Lucian!" Emilia quickly leaped out of her seat and rushed toward Lucian.
As for the instructor, the smile on his face quickly faded away as soon as he realized what he had just done. His demeanor, once again returning to his usual lazy stance as he approached Lucian and Emilia…
…only to see Lucian completely knocked out and bleeding from his nose, ears, mouth, and eyes.
"I… Instructor, why would you do that!?" Emilia glared at the instructor, almost showing her teeth. The instructor, however, completely ignored her as he just moved closer to Lucian and very carefully lifted Lucian over his shoulder, "Wh—"
"Ms. Emilia, I need you to come with me to the clinic," the instructor then let out a small but very deep sigh while shaking his head, "It would seem…
…I got a little excited."
Bro actually had to release his restriction to beat Lucian. bruh
"Doctor!"
"Hm? Emilia? And… Instructor Wells? What is—"
"Please tend to him!"
And as most places in the Cultivator Academy, the clinic also boasted a large area — perhaps unusually large. But of course, if one were to take into consideration that a lot of people are sure to get injured in a so-called combat-oriented school, then a large clinic akin to a hospital ward was already a given.
And as soon as Emilia and the instructor, Wells, barged into the clinic while carrying Lucian; all the staff who were just idling by and checking the other injured students quickly rushed to see what the commotion was about.
"Place him on the bed, gently!"
Wells did as the doctor said as he placed Lucian on the bed; the doctor, opened the curtain so that his disciples could assist him.
"What happened here, Emilia?" The doctor asked.
"That… Dr. Raj, he got injured while having a duel with the instructor!" Emilia quickly answered as she wanted to check on Lucian, only for the disciples to push her away as they assessed his injuries, "He… he got slammed on the wall hard!"
"...You went overboard again, Instructor Wells?" Dr. Raj could really only let out a small groan as he looked at the now timid Instructor Wells, "Who even is this? A new instructor?"
"He is a new student," Wells answered.
"You injured a student!?" The doctor's eyes started to light up—no. It almost looked like there were flames being lit up inside them, "What were you thinking!? And this… this man's only at the Spirit Infant rank! What… are you insane!?"
"I got a little excited."
"Against a Spirit Infant!? You're a Spirit Master, Wells! Oh… ugh… my cultivation is fluctuation," Dr. Raj pressed the back of his neck, "I… I think I'm going to go into Lith deviation due to my high blood pressure."
"D…Doctor!" One of Dr. Raj's disciples approached him.
"What!?"
"The… patient doesn't have any wounds, internal or external."
"What…?"
"What?" Not only the doctor, but Emilia and Instructor Wells could not help but react and look at the medical disciple like he was crazy.
"What… do you mean…?" Emilia blinked a couple of times as she was finally able to approach Lucian, "He… was slammed on the wall by the instructor."
"Let me check," Dr. Raj quickly checked on Lucian too, placing his hand on his chest with his eyes closed, "This… aside from the almost non-existent amount of lith inside him, he's incredibly healthy. Is… this some sort of prank? Did Tina from HR told you to do this?"
"Interesting," Instructor Wells placed his hand on his chin as he approached Lucian, "I felt his bones cracking and snapping while I was carrying him. Are you saying that he might have healed already?"
"Ah!" And all of a sudden, Emilia raised her voice along with her finger, causing Dr. Raj to almost jump in place.
"What is wrong with you, woman!?" Dr. Raj once again clasped the back of his neck as his disciples helped to straighten him up, "Why are you shouting in my clinic!?"
"He…" Emilia then turned to look at Lucian's face, extremely exhausted even though he was already knocked out and sleeping, "...Could it be because of his Unique Physique?"
"Unique… physique?" Both Dr. Raj and Instructor Wells turned to look at Emilia.
"Yes…" Emilia nodded, "...I was there when he registered as a Cultivator a couple of weeks ago — he beat a Blood Tiger in a single move."
"Interesting…" Instructor Wells licked his lips as he stared at Lucian, he was about to hold his face, but Dr. Raj quickly slapped his hand away.
"You fucking pervert! Someone get Instructor Wells out of here, now!"
"I merely wanted to touch… his unique physique," Instructor Wells said monotonously.
"Why are you gay?" Dr. Raj waved his hand several times, "Go, shoo! Shoo!"
"Hm," Instructor Wells just nodded his head before walking away without any more words. The medical disciples, however, all saw a smile crawling on his face; causing a chill to run down their spine — they had heard of Instructor Wells and his peculiar bipolar personality…
…but they did not think at all that it was real until now.
"And all of you, return to your stations. There is nothing else to see here! And someone get Emilia a chair!" Dr. Raj then waved his disciples away before turning his focus to Emilia, "You seem to know this man, so you stay here and watch him in case he wakes up and has lots of questions."
"O… okay," Emilia nodded as she sat on the chair one of the medical disciples got for her.
"But still — a Unique Physique…" Dr. Raj stared at Lucian, "...Are you telling me that he was able to fight against Instructor Wells?"
"N…no. Well, when he limited his lith to Spirit Infant…" Emilia breathed out, "...I, I would even say that the instructor was not a match for him at all."
"And so he got excited and forgot he was a Spirit Master?" Dr. Raj sighed, "I need to report this."
"Wait, please don't…" Emilia shook her head, "...I'll personally tell it to Father."
"...Very well," Dr. Raj stared at Emilia for a few seconds before just walking away, "Call me immediately as soon as the patient wakes up. What's his name?"
"Lucian Zhang."
"Huh… sounds familiar," Dr. Raj shrugged before just leaving Emilia alone with Lucian.
"Mr. Lucian…" Emilia then let out a small but very deep breath as she looked at Lucian's face, "...You really are full of surprises. I knew I wasn't mistaken when I saw you. You—"
And before Emilia could finish her words, Lucian's eyes just suddenly opened up.
"Ah!" Emilia gasped in shock, but she quickly stood up to call for the doctor. But before she could do so, she felt a tight grip on her arm, "Mr… Mr. Lucian?"
Emilia quickly looked back, only to see Lucian holding her wrist, "What are you—Kh!"
Emilia then gritted her teeth as Lucian just suddenly pulled her closer, almost bringing her to the bed. She tried to pull her hand away, but she could not even budge Lucian's hand at all as he just leaned closer and closer to her,
"What… what are you doing, Mr. Lucian…?"
"You…
…You smell very nice."
