章節 38: Greyman Institute
The celebration of his acceptance to the Bright Star League came as a sudden turn of events and the great transition, nobody in the star system had ever gone through an invitation ever. The reason such a prestigious institute was built in such a location of great locality and rural conditions was that the founder himself treasured peace and tranquility, the busy space traffic in the developed systems are not great places for one to submerge themselves in knowledge.
"Cheers!"
Bai Li and the rest of the group raised their cups, Yue Yong and his brother, whose condition had stabilized over the past half year was able to join on their drinking expenditure. His energy was slowly recovering for the survivor of a High tier Saint blood Beast, his life was not lost at the least, unlike Mo Tian's whose future was decided over an SED, Soul Energy Deficiency.
Ju Dun and Yue Su were having a brawl.
"What do you mean defense over speed? Everyone's defenses are either enhanced but remains close to their tier! Speed is key when dealing with strong monsters and if needed, even killing other warriors! The faster you can move, the quicker their deaths!"
"Speed....no.....good"
Ju Dun spoke with a steady paste but most of the meaning of his words were amplified by his hand gestures, anyone who observed could easily read his intended message.
Clearly saying that defense may be weak, but if you're opponent is similar in speed, they could react quicker and deal with him. Defense was needed to survive such encounters.
"Speaking to you is like talking to a rock!"
The squabble goes to and fro with no signs of stopping.
On the other hand, Bai Li and Yue Yong were peacefully seated on the other end of the round table.
They kept quiet until Fire Axe went in for a drink, Bai Li does the same in respect over a senior.
Under the guise of being drunk, they could let loose without causing the situation to turn out stale.
"So you've dealt with that Gorilla?"
"I have done what was necessary, it was either them or my life."
Both look at one another, the serious nature of the situation was conveyed and Yue Su and Ju Dun became docile for a bit.
"How was your first....kill?"
This was a rather serious question to ask someone who began walking down their road.
"I do not enjoy taking the lives of humans, but if they tread my path and threaten those who're close to me, I will do whatever it takes to protect them."
The stare goes on for awhile until a small sigh was let out by Fire Axe.
"Good answer kid, if you were nervous, you would already know this wasn't the right path. Keep at it and you will eventually rise. Those who rose without resolution are doomed to fall."
Bai Li's head was kept down after hearing those heavy words. The tone was however different, someone who showed affection to their children.
"Thank you for your words of wisdom."
He faced Fire Axe and kept his head down and hands cupped.
"Heh, don't take my words seriously, as long as you get my message all goes well."
"Yes."
"Well, let's get going."
He stood up, his body which haven't been maintained recently was stiff and many cracks were heard.
Fire Axe proceeded to grab a bottle, walking over to the other side.
He wrapped his arms around both Ju Dun and Tomahawk.
"What do you mean speed or defense is the most strongest? It's definitely raw power!"
"Brother! You haven't washed your arms for weeks, unhand me!"
Ju Dun's face showed inconvenience but a sign of relief was seen.
Tomahawk was recovering from his injuries and Ju Dun was nitpicking if he had tempered his body, maybe he wouldn't have ended up in such a situation where he couldn't use his body or energy well.
"Hey! Bai Li, help me out!"
Bai Li never really felt connected with someone, the sudden disappearance of parental figures have caused him to go this way. The sight of comrades who had tread thousands of kilometers knew one another extremely well.
"I'd say having a natural balance of all three is good."
He chuckled.
The Bearded Lady wasn't happy with his neutral answer.
""Pick a side!!""
"And for that indecisive answer, you must drink four more caskets!"
"Wait, we can talk about this!"
They began stuffing Bai Li with all types of alcohol before we knew it.
He woke up with an extreme hangover, drinking alcohol made to even cause the strongest of warriors to feel queasy was definitely not good for a Low tier warrior like him.
Throwing up caused most of the food he ate last night to be wasted, his bathroom had better days.

"Welcome to the Golden Star Planetary Space Port! Enjoy your stay."
Digital and holographic signs alike were flashing in the busy streets of the capital. Everyone went on with their business and walked the plaza as large ships and hovering cars fly overhead.
The Golden Capital was a melting pot for humans of all different experiences.
The Space Port was on the side of the entire city so it would not impede with any of the construction underway. The space port was naturally small and numerous peoples who had jobs enter different planets were all crowding together.
The intercom turns on with the sound of a click, signifying that a flight had just arrived.
"Passengers of the Union Space Agency of Harbinger 099 please come to the Eastern Warp Panel #11"
Everyone who did not hear their flight arrived groan, space traffic was always an issue no matter what planet you go to. But what they suffered was much more than traffic, there was the lack of it. They lived quite a distance away and are very rural in nature including the rest of the star systems. Flight and space travel could be delayed up to ten hours and business was of the essence of time when becoming wealthy.
All who were called up stood and began walking eastward, some were relieved that they wouldn't have to wait the hellish lines of the space port.
All walked towards the platform from all sides but stood in orderly fashion to get on.
In the distance was a young man with a simple travel bag. He wore simple long sleeve and jeans and with short stature. The adults all looked in disgust as usually, teenagers aren't able to afford space travel tickets and passports were hard to register, usually a guarantor was needed for those underage, which meant someone of influence or bought with money gave them a thumbs up. The adults were only given the ability to travel to other planets or systems due to their jobs, anything beside from that was just a luxury towards them. To see him in such fashion was granted to give some take on the matter.
If not evidently enough, this was surely Bai Li. He wore simple clothing as beside anything else, simplicity was always a fad with him. With such a way of fashion, people could say he was just efficient, or just overbearingly lackadaisical.
All passengers arrived on the neon glowing platform, intricate design was employed in the production of such refined machines. A slight hum began sounding.
"To help with the transition, please close your eyes."
Everyone did so as the hum became much louder before dying out.
They now appeared in an open central district with open windows all around. A simple lounge and many essential shops were allocated everywhere.
The small black sign that read coffee was at the end of the district and the open area provided a scenic view of the planet.
Just that it was empty as many people who had traveled from and back numerous of times to do their job were bored of the view and kept with themselves.
Bai Li lazed around, though the announcer said that his ship would be here to pick him up soon but in reality, it barely arrived at the system, one could wait up to a day when it would finally come.
But everything seemed to show that he was top priority.
He was immediately called up after a mere wait of ten minutes.
"Welcome aboard Harbinger 099, a Fourth Series of the Warner Stein Space Corporation with in-built anti-sensory systems employed to each cabin and a sizable waste vaporizer for your convenience, but do use it as lightly as possible as it draws energy from the primary generator to fire up the small battery!"
"Dinner will be served at 6 PM and Breakfast at 7 AM, you may request a snack from any of our attendants along the way, supplements will be given for lunch."
"Please do enjoy your flight and have a good time."
The time it took to reach to the closest Bright Star Facility was on a celestial body near the outer ring of an asteroid belt called Forlorn Delta. The total distance to travel there was a hefty two month length, but he would transfer ships after a week with a personal transport instead of the public ship sent by the Greyman Institute, an exponentially higher travel speed was to be expected.
Greyman Institute was the name of a famous western mixed blood that first appeared five thousand years ago. The Bright Star League, not to be mistaken with the affiliation to the Bright Star Dojo, had histories lasting up to the formation of the Union. Acting as a separate entity towards the Union, they had always acted beyond with no apparent goals in mind only to promote order from the shadows. The first name was evidently called Bright Star Enforcer.
But the real activity of catering towards the younger generations and raising geniuses began roughly ten millenniums ago, finding such pragmatic geniuses from every inch of galaxies owned by the Union took who knows how long. Until the appearance of Greyman Wu appeared, a western mixed blood who took the job as an instructor for the geniuses, who all had different personalities. It was usually the unique ones with the most talents and ranging from all different attitudes.
One factor that affected their growth was that the rowdiness and lawlessness of the swarm of geniuses were vast and any movements were documented heavily by news coverage announcing scandals and libels to denounce the Bright Star League and reduce their powers.
Greyman however adopted another perspective of the situation and made the foundation of the modern education system catered to geniuses and proved his might with his overwhelming power. Overwhelming the crowd to obey everything. Some who were discontent with his verdict challenged him directly, leading them towards their doom.
One time, a Shikan Drone Squadron managed to infiltrate the closest battlefront and entered the commonwealth of systems. The destruction of twenty planets and the total annihilation was tragic. But the one to stop them was Greyman, who used every inch of his body to shield the only academy at that time filled with the majority of young geniuses located in the Union. And in his final moment, sacrificed his body and took down the squadron by himself. Which gave the name of Greymane, the lion who protects his pride solemnly. Which was based off of his fighting technique and his arts, called the Lion King.
Everyone respected him and his lineage due to his prowess demonstrated and his effective teaching methods. A school based off of his virtues was constructed only for the top to join was then constructed under his name.
A place built upon prosperity and quiet to induce one's mind and soul to feel connected.
The place called Greyman Institute, the place Bai Li will head as of currently.
