Chapter 9
The commoner
Shiro and Aeris where in the white room, Aeris command the room to take shape. Multiple targets appear moving in different directions. Pulling out her revolvers she takes aim, shooting each target with great accuracy.
Shiro grabbing his katana started to swing it, my connection is starting to fade even more Shiro thinks to himself, while training Shiro was in a deep state of thinking. The dreams I been having are bizarre, from my understanding my dream takes place centuries ago, way before the world changed. I was in the perspective of Azael, he had a gambling issue and can't take responsibly for it, he had blood manipulation, and the place was different.
The sky was gray, and the sun was in fragments, Myrrh never told us a place about this unknown place, I'll have to ask him. Shiro's thoughts soon went away, sweating rolling down his face, sitting down on the wall of the white room Aeris noticed.
"Have you been to your Inner Realm?" Her voice raspy clearly showing fatigue.
"Domain?" Shiro was surprised to know such a thing like that exist. Aeris was also surprised to know how clueless Shiro was saying in an irritated tone she says "A Inner Realm is a place where you can talk to your god, see them, spar with them, you will be able to do this once your connection grows stronger," makes sense now Shiro thinks to himself he didn't know this since his sister never let him train his god. "Well since I couldn't train with my god I didn't know such things," with a sigh Shiro heads out.
Still having some free time before having more work to do he walks into the academy library, it was Beautiful the floor was a white wood same with the walls, dark brown shelves in rows, book of different colors lined perfectly. In the middle a tall white pillar stood it reached the roof almost the size of a skyscraper, the white pillar had vines growing on it, warping around the pillar was light brown stairs that lead to higher areas, to the far right a huge white window with gold highlights illuminated the library. Rays of light sweeping from the window shined brightly on the pillar, Shiro seeing such a library wanted to cry, to think humans thought of this.
Walking up to a particular bookshelf, looking for a god named Azael, Shiro started off on the left side, with many gods and their history half of the library is fully of only gods. While Shiro was looking for the right book he accidentally bumped into a girl. She had light pink hair, black highlights, her face was pale, it looked soft, even though the girl looked innocent Shiro felt an eerie presence coming from her, those dark black eyes they looked like hollow voids.
How could her eyes look so hollow? Shiro thought to himself.
The girl looked scared, reaching out his hand to pick up the girl her hand felt soft like a pillow "Thank you!" She had a smile on her face, "Mind I ask you what your name is?" Shiro gave his name, "Oh you're that commoner," the girl was surprised to see Shiro, Shiro felt a little disrespected but didn't take it any further "And yours?"
The girl put her hand on her chest, "Well I am, Kaela Raelith nice to meet you commoner," Shiro face started to turn red by being called a commoner again "I have a name!" Kaela apologized.
"Anyways do you know the god named Azael?" Kaelia looked at Shiro, putting her hands on her mouth she examined the books "I don't think I know a god named Azael." Shiro was disappointed, looking at his phone he saw that he had 2 minutes left before class.
His eyes widen realizing he is going to be late, running out the library, "strange" Kaela whispers to herself. A big smile appears on Kaela face grabbing a book that was hidden the title being God 438 Azael.
Running into the classroom Shiro sat down, the class was full of people chattering to each other, all of the classroom's looked the same. Rubbing his temple Shiro didn't want to attend this classroom, its sparing again, a teacher that looks like a mountain walk into the classroom, the chatters disappear. The teacher's craggy brown hair, and light brown eyes, he wore a black compression shirt, with black shorts, " As you know, im Garron Voss you low lives are like shit under my boots, unless you can gain higher respect in this class your nothing."
Garron pointed at the training arena that was outside the window, Shiro walked with the group of students outside, the wind felt cold, Garron yells "Pick your training partner!"
Shiro was left alone, Aurelia was in a different class working on fage, grabbing a katana he hears a voice behind him, "You want to go commoner?" The guy behind him said in a smug tone sounding like he's mocking him.
Shiro didn't take it personal and agreed, but unlike the fight with Aurelia everyone was watching Shiro, even Garron the atmosphere was silent, the guy had blue hair, green eyes, he had a smirk that pissed of Shiro. all the eyes were on Shiro making him sweat, the guy didn't have a weapon, feeling a hint of fage the guy's arm turned into a katana, Shiro was surprised.
Everyone was cheering on the opponent "Go Luis," they all yelled, hearing the timer 3,2,1, GO. Shiro burst off the ground at incredible speeds, it sent shivers down Luis spine, grabbing the hilt, he performs an upward slash. Luis barely dodges it, the sword taking pieces of hair off, the crowd was impressed by his speed, Luis thrust his skin sword toward Shiro chest.
Shiro stepped to the side, and quickly sends a fist flying at him, punching Luis in the face blood spills from his nose, Luis felt angered that such a commoner did damage to him.
Luis catches his balance, forming another sword from his free hand, lunging at Shiro Luis raise his skin made sword above his head, Shiro already predicting his attack, parried the slash, pushing back Luis Shiro swings at his arm.
Luis arm started to bleed, the crowd started to cheery Shiro saying "Commoner!" The disrespect Shiro thinks to himself, his face paled, Luis looked around and saw everyone surprised even Garron, who Luis tried to impress. Yelling Luis extends his swords almost reaching 7 feet tall, falling the two swords onto Shiro, he dashes toward Luis, Shiro dodge the first sword, the second one right above him. Grabbing the hilt Shiro jumps and parries the incoming sword.
Sparks flying everywhere after parring Shiro spins and kicks Luis in the face, Luis was knocked back Shiro runs towards Luis, stabbing the katana into his leg blood spills everywhere, Luis yells in pain begging for mercy.
The match ended there.
