The blue-haired lady took slow, measured steps towards the duo. As she loomed closer, the world seemed to be altered by her presence, causing the temperature to drop one step at a time. By then, she was halfway towards them…..
Crrkk!
A layer of frost spread on the ground, originating from her footsteps. Then she stopped when she was a few inches away from the duo her eyes never once straying from their path stayed glued on Seth she didn't even spare the Admiral beside him a glance.
Seth on the other hand was feeling apprehensive at her attention on him, thank goodness he was by the side of his uncle if not he would have been coated by layers of ice by now from the sheer frosty aura she radiated, his uncle was like a giant rock in the middle of a river blotting out the raging currents for him.
Right now in the parking lot, one would see the sight of one side winter and the other summer, as his uncle released some of his presence as a searing heat countered the bone-chilling cold.
Then finally she moved her lips to speak, "Your mother owes me a duel" pausing slightly as a shade of disappointment colored her stoic face "But obviously she can't fulfil that anymore".
Shaking her head slightly, she raised her hands and pointed at him, "So you must help her pay the debt".
Even in the hot atmosphere that existed beside Admiral Kendrick, Seth felt an icy chill creep up his spine, was this lady crazy she an admiral wanted to fight him as a minor...
His hands became sweaty and his legs trembled 'Why do I keep provoking monsters?' he wondered in despair the first was from his ordeal and not even a day after here was an admiral seemingly trying to fight- no beat him.
Seeing the boy's nervousness the icy lady's stoic expression broke as she chuckled faintly, "Don't mistake me, you won't be fighting me" Then she waved her hands beckoning to someone behind her, and immediately a drop-dead gorgeous girl, stepped out she had an ice blue hair like the admiral beside her, with sapphire blue eyes that seemed to hold a little of purple within, though she was still young her curves were already developing nicely and she also wore an icy cold expression, her phoenix embroidered scarf fluttered as she approached, she was literally the definition of a ice sculpted beauty.
Then she stopped standing beside the lady admiral the cold not affecting her, they even seemed to add more mystique to her presence.
"you will be dueling her," the lady said then with a faint laugh "It's fitting don't you think her spawn against mine, anyways be prepared in three days' time we will come looking for you" After saying this piece she signaled and the rest of the youths wearing the phoenix emblem followed her as they made their way into the building, the atmosphere finally settling.
Seth who just saw his opponent was hit with a feeling of relief at least he was going to engage someone of his level for once.
Cough!
Just then the fourth admiral present made his present known with a slight cough he nodded faintly greeting Admiral Kendrick then he went on his way with the little crowd of youths following him, the man, unlike the others barely had any presence at all if not for the cough Seth might have forgotten about him entirely.
He had vibrant green hair matching his pale silver eyes and youthful features estimating him to be in his late twenties, unlike others, he wore a coat on his military attire with a back turtle emblem on it, and weirdly enough he wore a monocle on his right eye, Seth assumed it to be his seed after all even he looked weird walking around with a camera hanging from his neck.
"then I'll be off too" Admiral Cole announced as he followed suit.
Finally, Seth and his uncle were once more alone. "Let's be on our way also" he called out as Seth trailed behind him, expectation budding within his heart he was excited at the thought of what this camp held for him and even more so the chance to cultivate he couldn't wait to be assigned an abode.
After entering the building and going through different scanning procedures, he was taken to the underground floors by his uncle, floor -45 to be precise according to his uncle this floor encompassed the whole military academy.
Ding!
The elevator opened up and a shocking sight was unveiled before Seth, even though this was clearly a ground floor the entire layout was as though one was above as a vibrant clear sky could be seen, up in the distance surrounded by green foliage were two Grey buildings right above the one on the right was the sign 'Elyon's Battle academy' with the beautiful emblem of the ferocious tiger baring its fangs on it.
While the other was clearly a campus the school was a boarding school no wonder he was told to pack his valuables he won't be seeing home for quite some time.
Smiling smugly Admiral Kendrick escorted Seth into the institution, clearly pleased at Seth's shocked expression.
The inner structure of the building was the same as the typical school layout, with the lockers the pin boards the trophy display, and so on.
Admiral Kendrick directed him to a class labeled 'Survival tactic', opening the door Kendrick pushed him through and then closed it shut not following him into the class.
Then with a faint smile, he walked out of the building 'I really hope you can make something off yourself boy, without reaching certain heights you won't be able to find your father' As his thought reached this level his eyes squinted slightly his smile extended into a smirk 'speaking of that bastard of a brother, he owes me a whole lot, taking care of his kid and all'...
