Chapter Seven - Thoth Academy part 5

After being slapped, rather than experiencing any pain or crashing through the classroom, Lucky Riot's mind was instantly knocked into a scene hundreds of years in the future. How he knew that this was the future, he wasn't sure, but Lucky was absolutely certain that he indeed had been knocked into the future.

In a vast and darkroom full of strange formations and machines like a spaceship of mystical design, a sturdy looking muscular man stood above five enemies. Those enemies cowered while surrounded by cosmic lights powered by the formation they were in. The muscular man was tall and gorgeous, with two platinum dragon horns curving upon his head like a diamond-studded celestial crown. On his forehead shined a bright and imposing Eye of Horus tattoo that emits an extraordinary pressure. Savage azure winds were barreling into the five enemies, but they did not affect the muscular man at all.

"It is useless, Shreya Endless," shout a blonde-haired man at the head of the formation. His eyes bulging, and his expression, along with his companions, were all crazed. "No matter what, you will die today!"

"You have succeeded, Lucious Vanity. Today I will indeed die," Shreya Endless spoke in a powerful and majestic voice that Lucky felt was far too familiar, 'Shreya… could it be… this is… myself?' As Lucky reeled in shock, Lucious Vanity and his cohorts also looked stunned by what their opponent had just said. However, before anyone could process it, Shreya Endless opened his mouth again, "This time. However, the next time this fated day arrives, I will most certainly be screwing Vanessa along with your wife, Veronica. This is a promise I make to you."

"YOU SON OF A BITCH! KILL HIM, KILL HIM NOW!" the formation lights grew extremely chaotic, and the strain on all five people increased tenfold.

The man called Lucious Vanity almost lost his mind completely, until his wife Veronica at his left grabbed his hand and said, "Lucious, I told you. I will never embrace him again. It's okay."

Lucious looked at his wife as a complicated feeling swam in his eyes. However, right as he regained his calm, Shreya Endless' voice rang out once more.

"Yes, you of right now will never embrace me again. However, do not pretend it is because you have chosen this path. I disdain to touch you after what has befallen Vanessa. You are all dirty abyssals to the core, all right. Only Vanessa's fragile existence prevents me from begging my past self to obliterate your entire race."

"Shut up, you shit!" Lucious Vanity snapped, the formation lights suddenly forming 10 supreme eternal swords, radiating with a sharpness that could sever a black hole into two halves. "Keep speaking nonsense in hell!"

Lucky Riot floated invisibly in the void, feeling thoroughly confused when Shreya Endless suddenly looked past the enemy and into his eyes. Shreya waved his hand casually, and a spatial storm ripped through the ship, lacerating the surroundings with heavenly might.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Lucious Vanity and his cohorts finally panicked as they desperately poured their energy into the formation's shield.

Shreya Endless continued staring at Kasino as he spoke slowly, "You have seen the circumstances. This is my utterly embarrassing and self-inflicted end. However, be aware that I have chosen this end for myself. My only remaining wish is to murder these hideous cowards who harmed my empress. Even if I have to sacrifice my own life to do so. I do not wish for our legacy, our glory, a glory that I never even thought to appreciate before Vanessa… I cannot let it end.

"If I cherished my glory, how would others have not known my strength? How would they dare to harm my woman knowing full well the consequences? How many allies would have flocked under my banner if I put more effort into being glorious? Into seeking new accomplishments? Adding on to the never-ending story that is Kasino Shreya Riot. Today ants stand before a giant, attempting to tickle my toes. What right do they have to do so? I need you to promise me something, Lucky. One day you will realize how important our birth title is... however, even at that time, you should place the title 'Lucky' higher in your heart.

"Become what I could not.

Do what I did not dare to do.

Love who I did not dare to love.

Never cower behind your powers, hiding them from the world.

Blaze brightly and burn down anyone who tries to stop your shine!

That is the real way of the star child!

The true Eternal Sun!

"This gift of Seer's Vision is the only thing I can offer you. With it, I have tied my destiny with your own. No matter what you choose to do, you will always have a way to survive and reach this step. I believe you will not be in the same position as myself once you reach the fated day. Use it well."

"He's fucking lost it."

"Let's end it now, Lucious!"

"Fine." For a reason he could not comprehend, Lucious Vanity felt incredibly unnerved by Shreya Endless' seemingly insane ramblings to no one at all. He spread his arms and poured all of his power into the formation, and the 10 supreme eternal swords all pierced forward with might that shattered the void and fractured the space ship they were in, completely destroying everything around it. However, half a second before the swords impacted, time seemed to halt for everyone. Only Shreya Endless and Lucious Vanity, the only person present who was near Shreya in strength, managed to avoid a total stop. Nonetheless, Lucious Vanity was moving unendurably slow. Of course, there was one other person unaffected by the halting of time.

The completely perplexed and flabbergasted Lucky Riot.

"You and I are one, so listen to me for a bit. Our mother did everything for your sake, and your sake alone. Don't you ever disrespect her or may you suffer the full wrath of heaven. Our father loves us. Please… try to love him too. Do not bow your head to anyone under the heavens other than our parents and our women. Fight for your own beliefs. This is our dao." After speaking these impassioned and heartfelt words, the Eye of Horus on Shreya Endless' forehead released a blinding light that summoned Lucky's Eye of Horus by force. Lucky felt a beam of energy enter his Eye of Horus and travel into his soul. Before his conscious faded, Lucky heard Shreya Endless' voice one last time... it felt like a near whisper.

"Our father's traces exist all around you. Learn well from them. If you meet Vanessa Aizen in the future... just kill freely. The more you try to protect her family, the worse things become. You will understand these words when the time comes."

Margot's entire body stiffened, and her face became pale as a sheet of paper. So this was what they meant by 'hit them where it hurts.' Margot felt worse than if it was her on the receiving end of that strike.

"You think you two are worthy enough to speak whenever and however you please in my class? You are not. How dare you try to pressure me with your status. Fine, I will admit that I can not touch you, Ms. Frenzy," Scarlet Mercury stared directly at Margot as she spoke. She had reservations about harming a student as a teacher, but crippling one nobody waste wouldn't get her fired. That was impossible! She read the profiles of all these students. Kasino Riot was a second level waste last year. Even if he weaseled his way in to this class, his cultivation was likely superficial and rushed. This was why she was able to act confidently, "As for him? Hmph. Who will care if he dies?"

"Oh shit! She just killed the trash! A slap from a Profound Orb Stage expert is more than enough to murder that punk."

"No way, he's Mad Mortal the immortal cockroach, he can't be slain! It's never been done before, right?"

"How could he have the same luck with the teacher? She just flattened that bug like a pancake. I can't believe I saw a student die today!"

"Serves him right, why's he even here?"

"Mad mortal?! You mean that heartthrob was weak little Riot?! No way, no way..."

The students were shocked by how events had escalated, but most of them mocked and snickered at the result.

"Lucky!" Margot Frenzy was late to react due to her shock. She just looked helplessly at the broken desks pilled on top of her sweetheart. Her hands were shaking, and she didn't know what to do with herself. Suddenly, Margot's blue eyes became golden-azure and cat-like, as an intense air was released unconsciously from her body.

Scarlet Mercury noticed the sudden shift in Margot's aura and suddenly retreated so quickly that she left an afterimage. At the spot where she previously stood, two desks in the surrounding the area suddenly burst into pieces, shocking all the other students and severely injuring two of the jeering students that insulted Kasino. The back row only had one desk still intact, and that was the one that Margot was currently standing on top of.

Meanwhile, Margot was inwardly anxious, but her growing anger was carrying her through this. Her blood felt like it wanted to jump out of her skin to claw and bite this cow-like bitch to death. Her size seemed to swell ever so slightly as the calf muscles of her off-leg tensed.

"Fuck… what a moment to awaken her bloodline…" Scarlet Mercury started to panic as she couldn't let the commoner students be exposed to lifeblood related matters. She would suffer a court-martial for causing such a slight.

"Holy shit…"

"No way…"

"How…? Was he not… dead?"

"Immortal cockroach… he really is the immortal cockroach!"

However, just as Maggie was about to recklessly attack the homeroom teacher without fear of the consequences, she felt an arm slide around her waist. Her tense body somehow recognized this warmth and utterly relaxed. Smelling that familiar scent, tears flooded the young lady's eyes in an instant.

"He's okay…" she thought to herself, quickly calming down as her eyes returned to their blue color. The arm around her waist gently lifted her lithe frame off the desk before gently placing her down. Margot Frenzy looked into the hazel eyes of Lucky Riot in a daze.

She saw that he was bleeding from his forehead, and she touched it unconsciously, before licking the blood on her finger. A terrifyingly lustful and intoxicated glint flashed through her eyes, but was quickly replaced by evident rage! Her anger started to rise up again, but Lucky shook his head calmly.

Looking at Scarlet Mercury, he said blandly, "For you to be a mighty Profound Orb Stage expert, you sure hit the same way you use logic. Just like a little girl."
