《Colliding Ambition》Chapter 33

*NOT EDITED*
So far today's been good.
Writing class was...harder but Lexi sat next to me and practically killed Cohan with her eyes. Then when I stepped out of class Chase was waiting for me, said he wanted to go to lit class together. But I knew the truth and silently thanked him for it.
And of course, waiting for me outside lit class was Rohan and a cup of coffee. And now Rohan is walking me to language and linguistic class.
I take a sip of coffee. Wait a second, then, "Don't you have a class to get to?"
He tightens his grip on my hand, "I'd rather be here." When I give him a look he laughs, "It's all good, Fly. I finished the essay we were supposed to work on today and already sent it to the professor."
I roll my eyes, "So you don't think about hockey all the time, good to know." I say in an exaggerated voice.
Rohan chuckles, "I think about more than just hockey and school. Specifically a witty and bratty blonde hockey player."
I mock gasp, "I knew there was something between you and Chase. Makes sense now, you have a type." I grin.
He stops which makes me stop with him. He tugs me closer, encircles my waist. "Your just in a mood huh?" He says into my ear. "But I guess that's where your mind would go. Me and Chase? You'd love that wouldn't you." When I give him a confused look he whispers, "Together." And smacks my ass.
I'm disgusted in a second. "Gross, Rohan. That'd be like fucking my brother." I shiver at the thought. He laughs as we continue walking. "But...I'm not saying that he's not attractive, because he is."

His jaw tightens.
I smirk, "I mean like have you seen his eyes? They're gorgeous color of a rain forest. And then there's his body. So muscular━"
Rohan tugs me into his side this time, "Keep talking about another guy being attractive and see what will happen." He warns in my ear, in a low voice. We pass a professor as we walk out of the building and head to another. Rohan waves at him like he didn't just threaten me.
I reach up, "And what will happen?"
He looks down and I see that his eyes have dilated and their practically black. But he can't say it because we pass a cluster of students who are eyeing us. I ignore them. He bends down to my height, "You'll beg me."
My eyes widen before a smirk spreads across my face. After we say bye and I'm sitting beside a friend, Ciera. "Oh my god, you're at school!" She exclaims. "What the heck happened to you?"
I open my computer and bring out my binder, "Well I was sick at first and then went to a tournament."
She doesn't say anything and when I look at her she's eyeing me carefully. Then she says, "Are you okay?"
That makes me freeze, "What do you mean?" I advert my eyes.
"Well a sickness doesn't last 2 weeks and you were fine enough to play hockey but not go to school. I'm just wondering why you lied." She shrugs.
Goddam her. Ciera is a psychology major and hopes to work in the FBI as a behavioral analyst. She also has a photographic memory and a weirdly cool IQ. So she was drawn to Criminal Minds and was inspired by Spencer Reid since she associates herself with him.

"I had a family emergency." I say distracting my hands with typing on my laptop, to keep my hands from shaking.
She silent again and I can tell she's reading me. I almost thank her when she lets it go and the class starts.
When I'm finished with my work before Ciera I go on messages on my computer that's hooked up with my phone so it doesn't look like I'm not doing anything. I go onto Rohan's icon and start typing.
Me: Mason, Andrew, John, Kai, Reid, Mick, Alex.
He responds almost immediately.
Rohan: Why are you naming our teammates?
Me: Oh, I'm just naming some guys I find attractive...
This time the three dots that indicate he's typing appear and disappear about 10 times before he responds.
Rohan: Just wait.
And that sends a chill of anticipation up my spine.
"Why does you face look like that?" Ciera asks.
I immediately get out of my conversation with Rohan. I look to Ciera, "What?"
Her eyes widen, "Oh my god your sexting!" She whispers low enough for only us to hear.
I furrow my brows but then remember who I'm talking to, "Damn you, Ciera and your psycho analysing me." I mumle.
She laughs, "I called it. You and Rohan. The tension between you guys was suffocating."
I roll my eyes.
"No seriously. I was just waiting for you guys to jump each others bones." She teases.
But I groan as I slide down my chair.

The Many Blades of Wuxia
Hundreds of years after the Heretic wars ended, life has returned to its blissful ignorant state that only peace could bring. Whilst the never-ending war between Man, Beast and Mutant rages on, most are not even aware of a war that happened between men. Its prophecies shattered, their remnants surviving only in obscure bard tales. One is about to grow. On the cracked face of the world, Essence storms and Beast Waves keep the citizenry locked atop the Emperor city of Qaelang. Knowledge of the past is as rare as the metals that flow into the hands of Sacred Artists and at the root of it all are whispers of a malignant force, ancient and terrible. Holding humanity back from achieving greatness, but hiding too are secrets best left untouched. Balance, discipline and order have held Qaelang secure since time immemorial, the powers within claiming to adhere to them. None are more fearful of change than the ones with the most to lose, but change is coming. Blade of Wuxia is a long character-focused epic fantasy with progression and growth. It's about a boy's quest to become powerful enough to save those he cares most for and give them a better life. It's set in a world of hidden pasts and uncovering them will set him on a path that shakes the Empire. As this is a rewrite that took on a wildly different spin, reviews are most welcome and help me do better. What can the reader expect? A Wuxia society set in a High fantasy world. People are only doing what they know and may have mistaken beliefs. A clever resourceful protagonist with human flaws A far-reaching hidden fantasy world, rich in history. Multiple points of view are used to follow the story to its natural conclusions, not every NPC has all the answers, but there is one MC in this book. Progression will take time and sometimes even unknowingly. MC is not trained in the ways and knowledge must be tempered against experimentation. Release Schedule. 2 chapters a week, family and work permitting. Only if I'm happy with the chapter will I release it. That being said I am open to revision should an articulated critical response show merit. This story is not completed yet but I do have a general idea of what the end looks like for both MC's (yes both) Ultimately feedback will be most influential on the progression of release as it's you guys I'm looking to entertain. Expected Changes None really, I'm writing as I go and have a path planned for 6 books Chapter release rate might change if we take off and feedback starts flowing, but for now, it is just about making sure Arcs flow smoothly onto the next. Cover, yes absolutely! If there is enough interest I will open a Patreon account and use the first proceeds to commission an EPIC cover and hopefully a few scary artworks of our brave Cultivators and the foes they face.
