《To Walk The Mist》Changing Times (4)

When Si Namfi appeared in the alliance, he called for an immediate meeting. All the council elders and old Protectors made their way to the great hall where Si Namfi was waiting. They saw his solemn face and assumed the worst. Before he rushed to Madam Ge's restaurant, he had informed some high-ranking elders that something went wrong in the Baju Valley and he need to check it out.
“Council Head Si, you left in a hurry for the Baju Valley. What happened there that is so urgent to call a meeting?” an old man asked. Si Namfi recognized him. He was Di Tietie, his rival in the council. He had once hoped that Patriarch Tie Nse would make him council head before leaving. Even though no one was vying for the Patriarch's seat because of his strength, the patriarch was still never around and the next best thing was the council head seat. When he lost to Si Namfi, he did not hide his dissatisfaction, causing a division in the council.
“I left in a hurry because I felt an anomaly in the Baju Vally. A troublesome one at that. It felt as though someone had walked out of the Valley,” he said causing whispers amongst those present.
“Your imagination always shocks me, Council Head Si. You abandoned the business of the clan for such a thing? Were you born yesterday or did you not know that no one can walk out of there?” Di Tietie said and all those from his faction nodded.
Si Namfi was not shocked that he would try to turn this against him.
“That is why I am council head instead of you. If I had acted like your small minds, I would not have come to this recent knowledge,” Si Namfi said and Elder Di frowned.
“Besides, I was not the only one there. All the heads of the nine powers were there in person. They did not even bother to send representatives and rushed over,” Si Namfi said and they all looked at each other.

“What happened?” a neutral elder asked.
“Someone really did walk out of the Baju valley and it was our patriarch's disciple at that,” This statement from Si Namfi caused loud discussions to arise from each corner of the hall.
“Our Patriarch has no disciple,” Elder Di's eyes narrowed.
“Even if he did, would he tell you?” Si Namfi said coldly and looked past him at everyone else.
“Madam Ge said that patriarch took on a disciple, put him in the valley and waited in her restaurant for ten plus years for him to emerge. Patriarch only told her that he is special. She did say he had not yet done his spirit picking. She saw his face when he emerged, but the patriarch paid her to not divulge his description,” Si Namfi said and the discussions only got louder.
“Do you think you can just give us this information and expect us to swallow it as you said? We need to confirm it before making a decision,” Elder Di frowned.
“Elder Di, if I remember, I am still the Council Head till the patriarch says so. As for all of you, this information was paid for. Most of you know the rules of Madam Ge's restaurant. It is not only I who did. The entire nine powers now know that our patriarch can use the Baju Valley. Elder Di, we are all aware of why you would not like this information,” Si Namfi said and Elder Di's eyes narrowed.
“And frankly, your selfish dreams are your own alone. I did not bring this information for us to debate about the patriarch's disciple. I brought it because, since all other eight powers now know of this, the implications could bring us trouble,” Si Namfi said and those present understood what the other powers must be thinking. As good as a disciple the patriarch got, his strength will make things difficult for them. Those from Elder Di's faction couldn't care less about his dreams at this point. This development was big. The entire eight powers against them? This is not good at all.

“Now, I am hoping on one thing to keep the other powers at bay for a while. That is the patriarch. Now that they all think he can control the Baju Valley, or he had gained something from it, it only makes us more of a threat. The Baju valley is not just any place, they will not move carelessly, not without knowing the kind of damage the patriarch can do. They all looked at each other and nodded. After all, what they could do for now was prepare.
Elder Di returned to his mountain and called for his son immediately. A young man that looked no older than twenty-five walked in and bowed to his father.
“Father?” he said in greeting.
“Wong, how is your training?” he asked. This boy before him was his pride. At the age of 12, he had already reached the stage of spirit awakening, making him the second youngest in the history of the alliance. Now, he stood at the peak of spirit merging, just a step away from soul seeking. He is the strongest amongst his generation in the alliance and the cause of jealousy amongst his peers.
“Fine, father. Did something happen at the meeting?” Di Wong asked.
“The patriarch has taken in a disciple,” Elder Di said and Di Wong's eyes shrunk.
“Worry not, the patriarch will have to return one day. When that happens, you must be prepared to show off your strength so that you can become his disciple,” his father said calmly.
“But father, this plan of yours could have worked if the patriarch did not take on a disciple. Now that he has... everybody knows the lineage of patriarchs passes from master to disciple. It is the alliance Law,”
“I know. Those old protectors were there when Si Namfi explained today, even if they were hiding in the shadows, I know they know of this development. If the patriarch did not have a disciple, it would have been clear who would be the next patriarch. There is no one better than you. But there is no need to panic. The patriarch did not care enough to have disciples before. If he has taken one in now, there is still a chance he will take you in when he sees you. After all, there is no one more worthy than you,”
“And that disciple of his?”
“However special he is, it does not matter. You grew up in the alliance and are more connected to it than he is. As long as the choice is between you and him, the alliance will not hesitate to choose you,” Elder Di said reassuringly.
“Father, you don't seem to want to take his ability into consideration. Are you saying that when it is between him and me, I will lose in strength?” Di Wong frowned.
“The patriarch took him in as a disciple more than ten years ago, is the assumption. He was only discovered because the patriarch put him in the Baju Valley for ten plus years and he walked out on his own, unharmed,” Elder Di said solemnly. His words caused Di Wong's eyes to shrink.

8 206GIG: God In Gold
So let's cut the pretense: this is some garbage-tier weaboo fiction. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I feel it's important to say that this is some nonsense I write for fun. I don't think it's very good. I'd even go as far as to say that I'm not a good writer at all. I picked up a ball that started rolling when I was a kid and have been intermittently punting it towards the next chapter whenever I feel like it. And you can come on this garbage ride too if you really feel like it. Who knows, maybe there's some gold to be salvaged from this dumpster fire? Synposis: Satou Shibuya is a first year student at Niflheim's Kawagusa General Academy. He's also the self-proclaimed strongest power user, sporting a big enough number on his birth certificate to make a nuclear bomb glow green with envy. There's something to be said about a person whose head is so far up their own ass that you find yourself watching their every move with bated breath, ever curious to see which hole they'll dig themselves into next. This is not that kind of story. This is a story about pride, coming of age, but actually, this is a story about big, stupid superpowered fights. Update Schedule: Whenever.
