Yo! It's me Your boy. Back with another chapter. Hope you like it.
Harem: Xueyun an
Naruto wipes blood from the side of his lips and looks at the back of Liang yu with a hated glare. "Scum." But then he saw someone approaching him.
"Is everything alright with you?" Xueyun and asked him. Naruto looks up and stares at her. Xueyun looks at naruto, blushes at his gaze on her. Naruto sigh and just stands up, dusting his clothes.
"Thank you. I'm fine." He smiles at her making her blush harder.
"I LEAVE YOU FOR A MOMENT, TO FIND YOU LIKE THIS, WHAT'S WITH ALL THE CLATTER?!" A sudden loud voice gets the attention of all the students. They look ahead and see their teacher, standing there.
"Hush~~" The teacher is here."Be quiet."
"Kids are so noisy..." He sighs and then glances around, but suddenly his gaze landed at the bruised naruto.
'Huh? There's something fishy about this. That kid's face is bruised.' He thought and walks forward towards.
"Hey, kid, how did you get those wounds all over your face?" He asked. "I leave you alone for a while, to see you in this state when I get back. What is the matter with you?"
Naruto didn't reply to his question. He just stands there with a lazy look. Liang just grits his teeth, that naruto will snitch him out. "Damned busybody."
"What's going on? Come on." Teacher said. He just wants to know who did this to him.
"What are you waiting for?""Speak.""Teach a lesson to that bastard liang yu."Gonna be fun to watch this." A random student said. "Justice is served. Liang yu deserves punishment."
Naruto listening to the kids, glances at liang who is looking at him, with a smirk. Naruto knows that looks, "Speak and you'll pay" look. He clenches his fists hard enough to bleed at his state. Xueyun looks at him and then turns at the teacher.
"To be honest teacher.."
"It was an accident," Naruto said shocking everyone. Even Xueyun looks at him with a shocked expression. "I fell down all by myself."
"If you put it this way, as a teacher, I have nothing else to say. The exam will test your martial will and talent, all of you prepare." Teacher said.
"Yes, sir." All the students said and leave the ground.
"Smart boy, hehe. That's a family slave. Ha ha ha." Liang said and walks away.
"Spineless coward.""Such a waste.""Loser."
Naruto ignores the whispers, he knew that his action is cowardly, but they didn't know that his family is suffering because of the dark moon. Xueyun was shocked at his action too, but she knew that he will get in problem if he snitches out liang. She just closes her eyes and walks away, leaving naruto all alone.
When everyone left, naruto gets on his knees and grips the ground, hard. " I'm so weak, it's disgusting..." He grits his teeth and punches the ground. But suddenly he heard, something like a drop landing on water.
"What is this place? how did I get there.." He looks around and sees, he is in a strange place. And everything is white and shiny. He looks down and sees, he is naked too. He suddenly started floating towards a bright light source. He reaches the light and closes his eyes, by the brightness. The light suddenly stops and naruto looks up, making his eyes wide.
"How come suddenly there's a door?" He said. The door is massive and is a brown colour with a demon looking face in gold, in the centre of the door. He walks towards it and touches the door. The door starts opening making him steps back.
Steam pops out of the door, along with a light. Naruto squinted his eyes, tries to see what's inside but suddenly the light disappears. He looks inside and sees, he is in a forest and in front of him is a lake.
He floats towards the lake and looks down at the water. He saw a bright light in the centre of the lake. He was about to touch when the lake water suddenly erupts and make a water wall, making naruto steps back.
"What's happening?" He tries not to fly away from the pressure, but suddenly he feels hot. He looks up and saw a fireball came out of the lake.
"Now a fireball shows up." He said and looks at the fireball closely, and see it starts getting bigger and bigger. He looks around and saw a gate that also is emitting the same light. He looks back at the fireball and saw it starts destroying the forest.
"It's getting dangerous, better avoid it. I don't even know, where the fuck I am." He just starts running at the door. He looks back and sees the fireball tailing him.
"Not good. I have to run fast, but it's too fast. If I continue like this.." He starts running fast, but the fireball starts catching up to him.
"No No No NOOO..." The fireball hits him and a huge bright light appears. He yells loudly gaining everyone's attention.
"STOP!!!" He breathes heavily and is panting very hard.
'What's wrong with this guy?'
'Who knows, He's a coward, perhaps he threw an hissy fit.'
'This is puzzling, is this kid really that scared of me?' Liang looks back at Naruto and saw his scared expression.
'Just...just what happened? It felt like I entered another world, was it a dream? It seems so real.' He sighs and calms himself down. Keeping his mind calm will make him think harder.
"Kid." The teacher said. "Don't dwindle. Time to go." He said and leaves the academy with other students leaving as well. Naruto gets up and was about to leave also when someone blocks his path.
"Are you ok?" He looks up and saw a grey-haired kid with green eyes, smiling at him. He sighs and just walks away, completely ignoring him.
"HEY, DON'T IGNORE ME!!" He yells at naruto. Naruto sigh and looks back at him.
"Look, if you want to make fun of me, just do it. I don't fucking care. I am used to it by now." Naruto said. The person gots confused and points at himself, if naruto is saying him to make fun of him.
"Hahahaha." He laughs at him. "You are mistaken. I'm not here to laugh at you." He said.
"If lady an had wanted me to kneel down to her, then what choice would I have. We branch family members have no other alternative, although let me tell you, lady an is very kind-hearted and would never make me kneel. we would never dare to act against the main house." He said.
"A common man doesn't have to care when he gets angry, but we have to think about our clansmen first." Naruto said. The stranger nods at him and smiles.
"It would have been easy to denounce liang yu. To hold back your anger, while under ridicule from your classmates, require true courage." He said and stretch his hand out to him.
'This guy...' He smiles at the words, this person is saying. It makes him stronger.
"I am Ling Hong, from anyang town, would you like to be friends with me?" He said. Naruto sigh and shakes his hand.
"Naruto ye, nice to meet you." Naruto said. After that, they both left the academy and goes where the examination will take place. They reach the place and saw various huge halls, covered in red.
"Wow, such a big place." Ling said in awe. Naruto also was impressed with the structure. They go up through the stairs and saw their teacher standing there at the entrance.
"This is where we will conduct the exams. You kids go inside." The teacher said and opens the gate to them. Naruto and Ling go inside and saw the inside is far greater than the outside.
"Wow, this place is great. It's like I am in a palace." Naruto said and looks around the test hall. All the students start talking with each other, but a huge voice interrupted them.
"SILENCE!! Be quiet in the test hall." A old man with a ponytail and a huge beard slams his hand on the table.
"I am the vice-principle of heavenly star academy, surname Xu, responsible for your test today. Although freshman, you still have to obey heavenly star academy rules." Xu said and points at a table, making students look at the tables with rocks.
"On each table, you will find seven red soul crystals, you have to sense these crystals with your mind, so we can determine your talent." Xu said.
"Children who can sense two red soul crystals qualify to attend classes. Children who can sense three crystals have excellent talent, and children who can sense four crystals have the making of a genius." Xu explains the rules to pass the test.
"Also, children who are sensitive to three or more soul crystals will be able to become personal disciples of heavenly star academy's most outstanding masters. Every single one of them is a powerhouse of at least the 6th heavenly layer. Today is your chance to prove yourselves. If you cannot sense the red soul crystals, you can further train with your teacher, and will be able to repeat the exam same year." Xu said and motions the teacher Chu Xian to start the exam. Teacher nods and stands in front of the students.
"There is a table to reach one. Put your hand two inches above the seven soul crystals, and attempt to sense their presence. No need to be anxious, everything will happen naturally." Teacher Chu explains and the students take a seat in front of their table. Naruto sigh and looks at the crystals.
"THREE!! HE SENSED THREE SOUL CRYSTALS THIS QUICKLY." Someone yells when a noble make 3 souls glow in red, orange and yellow.
"This kid has nice talent, should make a fine pupil." An elder said. He has also white hair, and a mustache, pointing at the student who awakes 3 souls.
"Excellent, we could use more disciples like him." Another elder said. He is bald, unlike the other two elders, with no mustache, but has a spiky beard.
Liang looks at the elders and smirks. "I've never seen so many dumbasses in one place."
Elder Xu looks at Liang with a confused look. Liang smirks and puts his hand near the souls.
'Today, I'll let you see the power of a young master.' He concentrates his energy on the souls and also awakens 3 souls as well. Naruto looks at liang and sees him waking 3 souls. He knows Liang is strong, but to be this good. He has to work hard.
"Three crystals. Worthy of the title of house dark moon's young master." A fellow follower of liang said to liang making his ego big again.
'Hey hey, I can do a lot better than that.' Liang said and puts more power on the soul.
"HAAAAA!!" He yells and pours everything on the next soul. The soul flickers back and forth in green. Liang sees that the soul still needs more, pours all his energy. Elder Xu looks at the liang's table and sees the 4th soul awaken. Liang pants heavily and sits back.
'I did not expect to use this much power.' He flexes his hands and looks at the table. Everyone is amazed at liang to awake 4 soul crystals.
'However, a fifth soul crystal did not shine, I could faintly sense the fifth crystal, but not enough to light it, still, even four is quite enough.' He smirks at himself with the effort he has done. He knows he is the best, but his thoughts were interrupted when he senses something strong. He looks at Xueyun and saw, she has awakened 5 soul crystals.
'Five! Xueyun an was able to awake five soul crystals.' He sees that her souls are in red, orange, yellow, green and blue colour and xueyun is in deep concentration.
"Haha! Amazing, vice-principle Xu should take these disciples." An elder said amazed at the talent of the students, making another elder nod at him.
"This young lady from house eternal heaven is quite extraordinary, five crystals shined, this kind of talent can only be found once in a hundred years." Elder Xu said.
Naruto looks at xueyun's talent and is amazed that she is able to awake 5 soul crystals.
"That's the might of our main house's lady ann." Ling said nudging at naruto.
"Uhh, I don't feel so well." Naruto said and looks away. Ling just laughs at his state.
After that, all the students start awakening souls as well. Some students awake 3, some 2 and the unfortunate one only sense 1. Naruto sees that the fail ratio is higher than pass. He gulps and starts sweating.
"Get ready, it's our turn, brother naruto." Ling said giving naruto a confident smile. Ling smiles and puts his hands and naruto did as well.
"Those two boys should be from branch families." Another person who is in his mid-20s, with black hair and black eyes.
"Ha Ha. Branch family children are certain to fair worse." Elder said.
"Agreed. They will surely have lower power..." The man said.
Ling concentrates heavily and awakes 3 should crystals. Elder Xu nods at the young man's talent. "Well, talented students typically come from head families, but that is not always the case."
Ling opens his eyes and saw 3 souls glowing. " Yatta. I was able to awake 3 soul crystals. Naruto, I did it." He said and looks at naruto. He was about to ask him of his awakening, but be saw something that makes's his eyes wide.
Well, here it is. Second one. And a cliffhanger as well. Tj Out. Peace.
