《Spirit》Change in plans

-------------------------------------------
Jin sat on the bed, but he didnt go to sleep, he started to cultivate one of the warrior techniques he found in Yi Weis spatialring.
Jin started to gather the elemental essence through his meridians, towards his dantian at an amazing speed.
The speed of the elemental essence flowing through him towards his dantian suprised Jin, he thought the only reason for this speed had to be because of his training as a mage to gather the essence of elements through his meridians.
Jin spent the whole night cultivating and broke through to warrior rank 1.
In just one night he had reached rank 1 even after Jin reached rank 1 his speed didn’t drop. Jin thought about what had occured, him reaching warrior rank 1 in one night of cultivating. It must be because im already a rank 2 mage, so as long as i reach a higher rank as a mage, i will reach the same level as a warrior without any problems.
Suddenly the door to his room opened and his grandfather walked in letting him know it was time to leave. When suddenly grandpa Yi walked towards Jin examining him, and in a suprised voice asked: “You reached warrior rank 1 in one night, what kind of monster are you?“
Jin looked back at his grandfather and explained what had happened, and his own theory of why it was possible to reach rank 1 as a warrior in one night.
“That would explain it, nobody as ever been a mage and a warrior before, or at least i’ve never heard about one. You’ll probably experience a lot being both a mage and a warrior “ Grandpa Yi said with a smile in a warm and gentle tone.
They walked out of the Yi clan residence towards a beautiful carriage, when Jin saw out of the corner of his eyes a person walking straight for them. Jin was suprised when he saw it was his own father, Yi Chu.
Grandpa Yi noticed how Jin clenched his fist, and saw the anger appear in Jins eyes when he was looking at his father. Grandpa Yi pulled Jin towards the carriage and spoke with a voice full of care. “ Don’t let him bother you, come we are leaving now“
When Jin told grandpa Yi everything that had happened and what his father had said, Yi Cho felt dissapointment and anger towards his son.

They moved towards the carriage to leave.
When Yi Chu noticed he had been ignored he yelled out “Father“ and hurried towards them stopping Jin and his father from leaving.
“Father are you going to the city?“ Yi Chu asked his Father not paying any attention to the child standing there.
Grandpa Yi looked a little helpless, but answered his son “ Yes i am leaving for the city. I promised my old friend that i would show his son around the city, since he will be living in the city from now on. “
Yi Chu looked over the child at his fathers side and said in a suprised tone “ Oh this boy has reached warrior rank 1“
Jin just nodded his head thinking: This is my father he dosn’t even recognize his own son. This man is the one who should love me unconditonally, but instead he threw me away.
Yi Chu continued to speak in a proud and selfsatisfied tone: “The child i am training has also reached warrior rank 1 not long ago. You look to be the same age, if you could spare some time i would love for you to meet and spar?“
“Sure i can spare some time for a quick spar“ Jin answered quick before his grandfather could say a word.
They walked towards the imperial training grounds, when grandpa Yi pulled Jin to the side and asked him “What are you thinking?“ Jin looked up and answered his grandfather with a smile. “I am just checking out the boy my father is so proud off, and how he compares to me his son he discarded.“
The trio arrived at the training grounds and saw the second prince already there practicing his stances with a group of nobles and some girls arround the same age as Yiu Sei.
Yi Chu turned towards his father and Jin and said “Wait here i will explain to Sei’er and we can begin the spar“
Sei’er? When did they get so close, Jin thought clenching his fist, clearly bothered by what his father had said.
Yi Chu and Yiu Sei both stood at the middle of the training grounds signaling Jin to come over. Jin walked towards them, when he arrived at the center he could see Yiu Sei was bigger than him and even slightly taller.

Yiu Sei looked at Jin and said in a prideful and arrogant tone “ You can pick whatever weapon you are most comfortable with and i will use the same“
Jin asked “ are you sure“
“Of course, it dosn’t even matter what weapon you choose the result will be the same“ Yiu Sei said with a mocking grin, laughing and looking towards the group of nobles, when they saw the prince looking they also started laughing.
He surrounds himself with idots that agrees with everything he says, Jin thought.
“Okay, then i will choose the sword.“ Jin said and walked towards the wooden swords to pick one out.
When he got closer to the wooden swords, one of the girls looked at him turned around and said to the other girls standind there. “Look, that boy is really pretty in a handsome kind of way.“ The other girls all agreed then they started talking and staring. The other males in the group heard what the girls said they all looked at Jin with jealousy, anger and even some killing intent.
Yiu Sei was no different, He looked at Jin Thinking I invited the group to impress and show of my skills, specially for the girls, but they all look at him just because he is a prettyboy.
Yiu Sei was staring at Jin with murder in his eyes and said mockingly “Only children plays with wooden swords we wil spar with real ones“
“Then i will use a short sword“ Jin said, flicked his wrist and the black wind appeared in his hand, and he started walking back to the center of the training grounds signaling he was ready.
“He has a spatialring“ one in the group said in a suprised voice
This made Yiu Sei even more jealous and angry as the second prince of the Sun empire even he didn’t have a spatial ring yet.
Yiu sei walked towards Jin with his sword in hand, when he reached the center he flew towards Jin, but Jin was prepeared. Jin knew all the imperial techniques and easily blocked and dodged every move Yiu Sei made. Jin moved around the the training grounds evading and blocking everything Yiu sei threw at him.
This made Yiu Sei even angrier, he was losing face in front of everyone present. “Is this all your good for? to run around like a little girl?“ Yiu Sei mockingly said.
Jin was smiling while laughing on the inside, thinking to himself. this is your genius father, this is who you are so proud of, who you care for so much that you could discard your own son.
Jin was looking towards his father to see the look on his face, when suddenly someone threw a pepple at his face, making him lose balance for a split second.
He was to preoccupied looking at his fathers reaction, so he didn’t notice when the prince signaled someone to throw a pepple at him. Yiu Sei used that moment to strike and managed to slice Jins arm.
Yiu Sei stopped and laughed, yelling so everyone could hear “Even your cowardly dodging is no match for my imperial sword technique!“
The group watching, started laughing with the prince, nobody had noticed the pepple that hit Jins face.
Jin felt his anger surge, what a despicable and cowardly act he thought.
Suddenly Jin moved with twice the speed he had been using towards Yiu Sei. Yiu Sei saw Jin coming straight for him and slashed his sword diagonally towards Jin, but Jin just went right through the sword and shocked everyone present even his grandfather couldn’t belive it.
Jin looked Yiu Sei in the eyes and said under is breath, so the only one to hear him was Yiu Sei. “You are nothing more then a coward.“ He then hit Yiu Sei in the chest with his emperor flowing palm turned around and moved towards his grandfather.
Yiu sei was scared and shocked, but had used his rank 1 earth armor the moment Jin moved through his sword and called him a coward.
Yiu Sei saw Jin walking away and screamed “Look who is walking away you didn’t even hurt me, you are the coward running away, your not“ Yiu Sei could not finish what he was screaming as he suddenly collapsed and coughed up a mouthful of blood, not moving. Nobody understood what had happened, everyone ran towards the prince screaming.
But one person moved away from the commotion it was Jin, he walked towards his grandfather “grandpa Yi lets leave.“ he said without looking back.
