《The Journey of The Three Immortals》Chapter 10 - In A Predicament
Advertisement
Five years later...
A young child of the age of nine, stood silently on the muddy walkway. Huo yi had grown up by a few centimetres, reaching 4.1 ft in height. His black silk hair had turned into a pale pinkish color due to the magic influence. They had to explain to Huo jin about the change of hair color.
"An old man gave me a drink, when I drank it my hair became pink!" (Woah that rhymes.) That day, Huo jin quickly rushed to find the doctor, lecturing Huo yi about trusting strangers.
He still retained his adorable and frail look though. In his left hand held a sliver rod with a red crystal, appearing worned out from multiple usage. Huo yi began to channel Fire Ki in his hand, flowing into the wand. He pointed the wand at one of the garden's tree.
"Fire blast!"
A large fire ball the size of a boulder appeared, shooting towards the tree in light speed.
'BOOM!'
A loud explosion resonated through the capital, shocking many who heard the sudden explosion
"Huff..Huff...I-I did it...!"
Huo yi looked at the results of the fire blast. It had made a large hole in the garden wall, with the tree reduced to black charcoal and ashes.
Although the blast was successful, Huo yi's knees trembled and fell on the ground. His body was fatigued since he trained from the early morning until afternoon.
Beside him, The three 'guardians' were checking out Huo yi's achievement. Not bad. He had made a lot of progress for the past five years, from a non-ranked Ki mage, he jumped to peak 2nd-ranked. If he continued at this rate, he could make another breakthrough in a few weeks.
"Good job maggot."
Eva patted Huo yi's head. Ever since he cried that day, she started to rub Huo yi's head whenever she feels like it. She does'nt know why, but it feels quite nice to comb through his soft and pink hair.

Celio looked at Huo yi with an approving look.
"Right now, I think your ability at handling the four elements is exceptionally good. Keep it up."
Although practicing Qi would harm Huo yi's soul, they still had Eva to take over if it came to a battle of strength when he ran out of Ki. She had body strengthing techniques, enabling a small kid to lift massive tons like a ant carrying an elephant.
After resting for a while, Huo yi went to bathe to rinse off the sweat and mud off his body, leaving the...'garden'. Apparently by the state of it, the poor servants would have to clean up the garden again.

Afterwards, Huo yi headed to the main hall to meet his father, he seems to have something important to say. Entering the hall, he greeted his guards and his father.
"Good afternoon father, uncle Lin and uncle Tang."
"Ah,Huo yi you have arrived, come and sit down next to me."
Huo jin was sitting down and eating some baked sweets from Li chen. Each of his side stood the two guards, Lin xiao and Tang yu. The two guards were relaxed for the past few years, they had seen Huo yi's magic, witnessing his Ki made them feel that Huo yi was capable of protecting himself.
Huo yi grabbed a wooden chair next to father, he sat down before grabbing a cookie from the table.
"Uhm...Father, you wanted to tell me something?"
"Yes Huo yi. In the next two days, there will a examination held at the Capital's sect, Azure Dragon. It is the number one sect prestigious for their warriors and their acceptance of both nobility and commoners."
Huo yi looked at his father with excitement, he never went to school before. His feelings about going to the Azure Dragon was both nervousness and anticipation.

"But father, I'm not suited to be a warrior..."
Huo yi thought about Huo jin's last sentence, warrior? He can't even cultivate Qi according to Eva.
"The sect has a mage division that is not performing well, I am afraid. But with your talents, I am sure that will change."
Huo jin smiled warmingly to his son. He had a great deal of pride in his son's magic. Huo jin and Li chen used to attend that school as Qi warriors. He could confirm that the place was safe.
"You will living in dorms there, rest assured, many of the teachers there are not biased towards nobility. But if anyone tries to bully you there... Tell me. I will obliterate them."
Huo jin said the last few words firmly. Anyone who hurts a single hair on his son, will pay with their deaths!
"Don't worry father, I will not disappoint you!"
Huo yi said with confidence. In truth, he was very afraid. What if they are mean and scary?
"Little yi, we will protect while you're there. So don't be scared."
Celio whispered to Huo yi. He was curious in how the children acted there. Were they like mindless robots like they were?
Huo yi's beating heart slowed down a little. That's right, he has heavenly beings protecting him. And if he ever encounter a problem, they could give him instructions on what to do.
Huo yi sat and chatted with his father for the rest of the day, happily talking about his progress In magic.
_________________________________
Two days passed with Huo yi practising his wind magic, he had learned how to push and pull wind. He dumped the multiple red and yellow wands in the trash, as the crystals broke. He headed out to the school with Lin xiao and Tang yu, to take the examination.
When they arrived at the sect gates, There was a thousand of people and children near his age gathering. The front gates were extravagant and massive, the two white pillars which supported the sign stood tall. The sect was extremely big, it could fit thousands of students.
The three entered the school grounds, where there was long lines divided into the warrior division and the mage division. There was much more people in the warrior line than the mage one by a large margin, it really shows how famous the school is for their Qi students.
Huo yi slowly walked towards the mage line with his head down low, Lin xiao and Tang yu standing back at where the parents stood at. He was not used to overly-crowded places. In addition, all the kids were taller than him!
"Bronze-rank Water Ki, 56 spirit force. Next!"
"Peak bronze-rank Fire Ki, 78 spirit force. Next!"
The three floating figures heard the tester's voice rang out. They then looked at the four doors behind them. Eh? Did this mean that every mage has a specific elemental Ki?...Shit.
"Fuck! What do we do? We taught the maggot all the elements, now hes gonna be the center of attention." (Eva)
"Blame Celio, He was the one who said he should learn all of it." (Eli)
"..." (Celio)
Celio rubbed his temples and sighed. How was he suppose to know that mages had specific elements? So much for low-profile.
__________________________
Uh-oh! Looks like they are in trouble!
Hey guys, I will be posting a poll so that you can decide which class Huo yi will take.
Just a heads up though, the classes will lead to two types of romance, Straight or BL can take place.
The three are very open-minded, so the trio are bisexuals. I will add this in the synopsis soon.

A Nation of Distances (possibly a dystopian love story)
Michael lives in a toxic macho world with extreme male hierarchy. When he gets a weird rating that makes his place even more problematic he's forced to choose a fiancée at a Wife School, and he slowly discovers more about the other side of the great divide between the sexes in The Nation. If only the world would stop being so complicated... On the other side there's Megan, who's more interested in books than in marriage, and the unpredictable Eliza who seems to have a connection with Micheal already. Will they be able to cross the distance and become friends against all the rules of their own world, or will they just be crushed? Are positive relationships between men and women even possible? And is there a way to change the world or is that just a naive thought of a silly wimp? 'A Nation of Distances' is a slightly dystopian dialogue-heavy drama set in a low sci-fi future setting about the war between the sexes, disconnect and friendship. The genre will fluctuate in between more slice-of-life parts and soft sci-fi drama with possible romantic elements, with alternating lead and switching perspectives once more of the main characters are established. Content Warning: Certain concepts and scenes might be disturbing and/or triggering to some, even though the story itself won't be extremely heavy most of the time. Sexism as a double-edged sword destructive to both sexes is an important part of the story, but so is friendship.Note that all descriptions of persons and places are purely fictional and made up by the writer, and any resemblance with anything in the real world is a coincidence, since the real world is not supposed to be dystopian anyway!

Smoking Bandits
With a gaze that was hard to describe, Lark stared at his body in the mirror. Not his body as a human, but his other body. Head of a reptile with rows of sharp teeth, a 180 cm tall body that is full of muscles, covered in scales formed green and black tiger stripes. Clawed hands and feet, with a tail strong enough to crush an adult neck. 'Man. . . can I still be called a human?' In the end, with a deep sigh Lark changed his form back into a human. A moment later, he came out of the room wearing a combat dress, tactical belt with shoulder strap, and jungle boots. While inserting a magazine into an AK-102, Lark muttered. 'Whatever, time to hunt Orcs.' *****
