New Life

-« What do you mean by that ? » asked Xin a little lost.

'Don't a cultivation academy is just meant to teach what is related to cultivation?' he asked himself in his mind rethorically.

-« I know what you are thinking » said the old man with his perpetual smile.

« We are the Void academy, a neutral school in every way, it is not only that we don't side with good cultivation or bad, but we are also neutral toward the paths of cultivation and his usage.

You want to be an alchemist? we will train you. You want to be a musician? We will try to help you integrate your cultivation in your music. Even if you want to be a scholar, we will train you with techniques toward the mental path, you would be more strong spiritually and you would be able to think more deeply after various things. »

In less than 0,1 second after the old man finished his sentence he understood the implication, the school let his student a total Freedom toward their path, but it will be with a downside, the more 'classic' paths of cultivation should be less developed than over school. But despite that, Xin knew that he had made a good choice to choose this school, this Freedom is exactly what he need with his spirit.

-« You plan to quit us Young man? » asked the old man with a little laugh after seeing the different expressions Xin had shown in the last couple of seconds while thinking about the school.

-« No senior, I was merely astonished by the school. » answered in hurry, but seeing the joy the eyes of the old man were showing, clearly by amusement, he calmed himself, a little ashamed by his quick answer.

-« You can enter the tent and talk with the other applicant, in 30 minutes we will go to the school. » said the man.

Xin nodded and enter the tent behind the old man.

It was a simple tent with nothing beside a table and a few chairs, it was clearly mean to be temporary, inside there were 3 other children aside him.

That surprise him considering the number of childre who came to test their martial soul.

Xin took an empty chair and go sit in the corner of the tent, he has just sat that a chubby man cam to him with a smile.

-« Hello, I'm Happy and you? » he asked like a shining sun

-« I'm Xin, do you know why there is so few people in there? » he asked the chubby man with curiosity

-« Yes » he answered. »To other people this school is for the freak who don't follow the usual path of cultivation, hence, for them it is a lesser school. »

-"But why are you here if it has a so bad reputation?" asked Xin

-« It's because a teacher of the school is my family's friend, he invite me to come and promise to look after me. »

They continued to discute actively until the old man enter the tent to tell them to prepare themself.

It was the time to go.
