11 Ch. 11 - Senior Magus Fair-weather
Meanwhile, at an empty area of the middle sector's eastern region, the sun reflected off the beautiful crystal class of the surrounding buildings, sparkling as it passed through the few trees in the area, leaving being patches of light on the empty ground.
In this area was a large group comprised mainly of youths. There were over one hundred of these youths divided into to several lines. They stood uniform like a group of soldiers, many of them with very solemn expressions. A few even had looks of terror in their eyes. The youths were separated by cultivation level, which also separated them by age barring a few exceptions. The warriors at the 1-4 level of the Hard Body realm were foremost, and these youths were mainly 10-13 years old. In the middle were warriors at the 5-8 level of the Hard Body Realm. These youths were mainly 14-17 years old. Finally, behind them were warriors at the 9th and 10th level of the Hard Body realm. These youths were all 18 and up except for two young men who appeared to be about 16, both of whom were actually female.
In front of this group were two middle-aged adults. One was a tall and sturdy man with a short sleeve shirt and gym trousers that hugged his thick muscles closely. He had a bright red crescent scar on his cheek. The other was a very pretty woman. She was tall, slim, and athletic, and wearing black tights that showed off her marvelous curves..
"Today we lost 57 young warriors, and 13 more are seriously wounded. Five of our advisors have also been hospitalized. Can anyone tell me the reason for this? No one? Okay then let me," said the woman in an icy cold tone, before her voice boomed became even more menacing, "THERE IS AN IDIOT AMONG YOU WHO DARED TO KIDNAP THE LITTLE PRINCESS OF THE FRENZY FAMILY!"
All the warriors present had their expressions darken intensely. Either by coincidence or by design, the bright day begin to slowly become cloudy, the air smelling of rain.
"And do you know what's worse? You failed! Not only did you fail, but you allowed her little friends kill two of our homies, and escape unscathed! Not only have you tarnished our reputation, thrown our face into a broken dumpster in a random alley, but you allowed that madman Hur Frenzy to catch wind of this operation and go on a rampage! If not for Bruno fighting him directly we would've been dealt an even more vicious blow!" The woman was breathing heavily, and her gaze swept over the foremost group of the 10-13 year old youths, "If we are to become a powerful organization what is required is discipline. If you want to be a powerful warrior then you must work hard to discipline yourselves while young!"
This fierce woman was none other then the one of the co-leaders of the Silver Mercury Gang, Mary Silver! Standing imposingly next to her, with a stern and rough expression on his face, was her partner and lover Bruno Mercury.
"All of you are commoners, like us. Unlike the noble families we don't have unlimited access to profound exercises, arts, or secret tomes teaching you how to cultivate battle ki! The schools have rejected you as delinquents! We were society's outcasts!" Mary Silver head her proud chest as she gazed into the eyes of these youths, pride lacing her voice. "However, now is the dawning of a new age! We are the ones currently in control of this city! The powerful families are bound by the treaty for another two years. That means in these two years we absolutely must become a high level organization or we'll be annihilated! All of this is then for naught…"
"You know what that means!" thundered the tall Bruno Mercury, "Training, training, and then more training! To be warriors of worth you must exercise your minds and bodies, building up true strength. As for you,"
Bruno Mercury's gaze penetrated deep into the crowd in front of him and locked eyes with a terrified looking young man of about 17 years of age. This young man was pale, tall, and thin, but looked around 90% similar to Frankie Baldez. Bruno thrust out a palm and an illusory palm imprint made of wind shot out tore through the crowd, startling and separating the young warriors before blasting into that young man's chest. The young man was powerless to resist this force as he got knocked flying ten meters back, like an arrow with a tail made of blood, before crashing to slide for three meters more.
Bruno spoke domineeringly, "You let your brother die, just so you could try to capture a woman! You are not a man, and even less a brother of ours! It is only out of consideration for your mother that I do not kill you right here, Sancho Baldez, but from this day forward you are no longer one of us! Leave, trash!"
Most of the young warriors looked Sancho with pity in their eyes. Some sneered and looked delighted, while a few seemed bummed out. However, these harsh words were like blades that carved into Sancho Baldez's heart, making him cough up blood! "Boss, I…"
"LEAVE!" Bruno Mercury's voice cracked like thunder. Oh wait, that was actual thunder! The previously sunny day had already become cloudy, and now it begin to downpour rain. However the authority in Bruno's voice was clear. No one in the crowd looked at him any longer, as if he never existed. There was no room for compromising in that tone at all.
Sancho Baldez cast a pathetic shadow as he struggled to get to his feet, and then silently departed the area. He walked for block after block with a totally deadpan expression on his face, before finally stopping in a random alley. The walls of the buildings within this alley had various dents and scrapes. A big battle had obviously taken place here once. Sancho glanced down to the dead end of the alley and saw a caved in dumpster lying in its own ruin. Rage suddenly burst forth from Sancho's eyes but it was swiftly replaced by melancholy.
"Frankie…sniff," several lines of tears ran down Sancho Baldez's face uncontrollably from the corner of his eyes as he reminisced about his baby brother. No one had ever handed them anything. Their mother was murdered in a burglary when Sancho was 11 years old, leaving him alone to fend for himself and his brother. Frankie was merely nine years old at the time! Their dad had abandoned them long ago.
Sancho scraped his way up from the gutter. He was recruited into Silver Mercury at 13! His battle prowess quickly gained him a 10 man squad, then a 25 man squad, and finally he managed to gain a 50 man squad! This year he was able to pull some strings and get his brother into Nine Sun High School! Unlike the bougie Thoth Academy, one only had to prove their strength to be admitted into Sun Academy at any grade level! He had a big homie* that was in the advanced class of Nine Sun high school. With this big homie's backing, Sancho's confidence was surging!
That was the reason he decided that after Silver Mercury conquered the city, he would then conquer the angel of Thoth Academy, Margot Frenzy. He slipped up and saw Bravo carrying the unconscious Margot and saw an opportunity! He immediate organized a team and put Frankie in charge of clearing those brats and bringing his future conquest home!
Never would he have imagined that this decision would lead to the death of his little brother at the hands of some nobody wastrel.
"Casino Riot…" Sancho Baldez gnashed his teeth furiously. "I will hunt you down and grind your bones into dust! I will drink your blood piss it in that slut Margot's mouth! I will destroy your whole family, your whole clan! Ahh!!"
Sancho Baldez screamed like a maniac in the alley for ten minutes, but then people opened their windows and begin cursing and throwing things at him. Sancho was forced to retreat while covering his head.
Nonetheless, he swore he would have his revenge!

"This is preposterous!" shouted Kenneth Royale, standing up from his desk once more.
The second incense stick on the teacher's desk had already been burned halfway and Casino Riot had yet to exit the original pressure chamber. In fact, only about a minute or so ago did a single tiny bead of sweat appear on Casino's forehead. Scarlet Mercury at this point was forced to ask the dean of Thoth High, Magus Fierce Storm, to have another original pressure chamber delivered so she could finish testing her students. At this rate she would be too far behind her peers! Some of whom, were already done testing! Of course, these teachers were mainly in Thoth Middle School. Thoth Elementary simply couldn't use original pressure chambers.
To the class's delight and surprise the back up chamber was delivered by their previous dean, the dean of Thoth Middle!
"Students greet Senior Magus Fair-weather!" said Scarlet Mercury sternly.
"Greetings honored Magus," shouts were heard from the entire class as they stood and bowed or curtsied low.
Senior Magus Fair-weather was once known as the most beautiful woman in the city! This was her title for a full twenty years until the little princess of the Divine Sun Family was born. Her outrageous appeal eclipsed all others before she had even matured, not even Senior Magus Fair-weather could compare to the now 19 years old Tapati Heru. Nonetheless, she was still magnificent. This was so because even though she could be considered an elder in age. her appearance was that of a youthful 30 year old woman. She was wearing a red, skintight dress and it outlined her alluring curves. Under the dress there were two straight, chocolatey, brown legs, and it could be said that they were perfect. Not only was her body attractive, her appearance was also extremely lovely. With round eyes, red lips, and an oval face, it was like looking at a model.
Everyone in Thoth Academy adored this woman, whether it was little girls or boys, men or women.
"Hello, my dears, hello," Senior Magus Fair-weather's voice was sweet and soothing to the ear, like birds singing in the spring. She seemed to glide over the ground rather than of walk, and her bearing was exceptional and filled to the brim with grace. Of course, she was still walking but her mystical movement art just made her movements mysterious to the extreme. This left a deep impression on Margot Frenzy every time she witnessed it. This time was no exception. Her eyes shined as she watched curiously.
For some reason she caught a trace of something this time.
This look of complex thought did not escape Fair-weather's notice, and a sharp glint secretly flashed in her eyes. However, she just glanced at the fawning Scarlet Mercury and asked gently, "Is this little one the Casino Riot whom you've allowed to rope you into a gamble?"
If anyone else had said this to her, Scarlet would exchange more than a few choice words with them. However, this was Magus Fair-weather, and she simply didn't feel upset at all, "It is indeed him. He has quite the sharp tongue, but how much he can back it up still remains to be seen. He will embarrass himself, and he will likely escape with his tail between his legs in fear that I would actually dirty my hands on him."
"But honored teacher, didn't you previously dirty your hands and his clothes when you brutally assaulted him at the beginning of class? You even demolished my row with his face!" said Margot Frenzy innocently. One would think that what she just spoke of had nothing to do with herself. Scarlet gnashed her teeth in frustration. This harlot wanted her neck!
Sure enough, when Fair-weather heard this she frowned. She looked to a young man she was quite familiar with from the previous few years, "Marcus, come here. Tell this Magus what has happened here. Leave nothing out."
The boy named Marcus excitedly stepped forward right away with stars in his eyes. The Senior Magus Fair-weather not only had his name committed to memory, she even called on him! This felt like the greatest accomplishment of his life. "Yes! Once Teacher Mercury arrived she begin telling us the basics of the…"
Marcus explained the ins and outs of the day from his first hand perspective, and Senior Magus Fair-weather listened patiently. Scarlet Mercury's back was covered in cold sweat because Fair-weather's originally sweet and amiable smile first became a frown, then the frown got far deeper, then there was shock and slight amazement, a bit of admiration, and now there absolutely no expression on the Senior Magus' face at all. This scared Scarlet the most.
"It seems I should stay to speak with this young man. Mrs. Mercury I will need you to accompany me to the Vice-Principals office after all the students have been tested," said Fair-weather plainly.
"Yes, Senior Magus," said Scarlet Mercury helplessly. Well, whatever would come shall come, no? She wouldn't be fired just for slightly harming a student. Of course the crux of this matter was that she intended to due a lot more than 'slightly harm' that student. In fact, this was even more true now than prior.
"How long has he been in so far?" asked Fair-weather. The whole class simultaneously look at the previously burning incense stick, however what incense stick was there?
"Ah!" Aubrey Graham suddenly exclaimed, covering her mouth with her delicate and dainty looking hands. Keeping time was her roll as class leader, "Teacher, I apologize! I was dazed by the Magus Fair-weather and forgot to light the next incense."
"I know how long its been, but you might not believe it…" said Margot Frenzy at the back of the classroom. She had a sweet smile on her face as she looked at the seemingly cultivating Casino. He was growing more handsome again, it seemed to her, "He's been in there for an hour and 15 minutes, or nearly three incense sticks of time."
