The Legendary F Rank

What happened!? Haru, Are you okay?" The sect master shouted as he barged in through the doors. Haru looked overseeing him cautiously stood in the doorway.

"Yeah, Everything is fine. Why wouldn't I be?" He asked the sect master he seemed to be holding something behind his back.

"Ah, No reason. If you say everything is fine then you must be okay. So what did he want to talk to you about?" He asked and then looked down at the bag Haru was holding.

"Oh, It was kind of strange, He said that he felt my bloodline from the middle realm. And then he talked about him being a mysticist or something." Haru began to explain.

"A mysticist? Oh, they are really rare. Not many people devote so much time to study time, Most people in the upper realms are more focused on gaining as much strength as possible.

Only a person who has no desire for personal gain could put in the effort to become a mysticist. What else did he say? We might have just run into a very important figure in the upper realms." The sect master gave his opinion on the matter and then Asked Haru for more details.

"Well, He then did this thing where he placed his hand on my head to hide the power that my bloodline releases, And then after that, he asked if I wanted to join his sect in the middle realm," Haru explained.

There was a long pause as the sect master looked at him for a few minutes. 'This boy got an invitation to join a middle realm sect? Then what is he still doing here?' He thought as he looked at him with suspicion.

"I turned him down of course. I can't leave my family behind just yet. I still have to go to university. And plus what would I tell my girlfriend?" He said and then looked back at the sect master who had a blank expression as he looked back in disappointment.

"What!? You gave up on a chance like that for the sake of a woman?" The sect master seemed outraged with Haru's decision.

"Ah, Whatever. It's your own life. Anyway, what's in the bag?" The sect master then pointed to the bag that Haru was still clutching in his hands.

"Oh, From what I can tell there are a lot of pills and stuff to help my cultivation. Like this." He reached into the back and pulled out a small red pill. It was perfectly spherical and seemed to have a slight glow coming from little tiny scratches all along the surface.

"Oh, A Qi absorption pill? Wait… Is that!?" The sect master became flustered and then reached out and snatched the pill from Haru's hand to take a closer look.

"Oh… My… It really is! They are pill veins!" The sect master screamed in excitement as he inspects the tiny red pill between his fingers.

"Pill veins? What do they do? Is that good?" Haru asked confused. It was weird seeing the sect master act like this.

"Are they good!? Pfft. Pill veins only appear on the highest quality pills. It is a mark to show the living Qi that is held within them.

I have tried to refine pills this amazing for hundreds of years but I never achieved anything close to this level!" The sect master exclaimed and then looked back to Haru who seemed uninterested with his explanation.

"Wow, They highest quality? Then it must have cost him a fortune to gather this many of them. There are over four hundred of them in here." Haru said and then held the bag up.

"Four hundred!?" The sect masters jaw dropped after hearing that news. He couldn't believe it. Having that many pills would be rare for the upper realm. How did someone from the middle realm get that many?

"Yeah, there are a lot. But there was also this." Haru said as he pulled out a small metal token of some kind.

The metal had a slight purple tint to it as it reflected the light around the room. The front of it was flat and polished. There wasn't a single imperfection on the metal. But on the very front, there were two words engraved into the metal plate.

"Shadow Sect? I have never heard of them before. Although it has been quite a few centuries since I have ventured into the middle realms personally. I will have to have someone look them up.

But this looks to be a Sect Plate. They are used to identify sect members. You did refuse to join right? I wonder why he left you a sect Plate?" The sect master questioned the actions of the old man who had now disappeared.

"So… Why did you barge in so suddenly? Were you worried about me?" Haru asked.

The sect master coughed and then looked back at Haru.

"Of course not. I just saw that he had gone back through the transporter so I wanted to know what you two talked about.

He has been staying here for the past week and didn't say anything about his reason for looking for you. Which reminds me to ask. How did he know you?" The sect master asked Haru who was looking at the sect plate.

"I'm not sure. He just said that he was looking into something and then he was shown a picture of me in a vision or something. He was actually quite secretive about the whole thing." He explained to him and then looked back down at the sect plate.

That was when he noticed something written in the bottom corner. "Shen Hao." Haru looked at it for a few seconds. 'So that is his name?' He thought before the sect master interrupted.

"Maybe they plan to sacrifice you for a ritual in a few years? They just gave you the pills to fatten you up and make you more powerful." The sect master said with concern as he seemed to be deep in thought.

"Wait! There are sects that sacrifice people?" Haru was surprised by the comment the sect master made. He knew that there were bad cultivators but he thought that sacrifices were exclusive to evil mages.

"Of course there are. People will do many despicable things to become stronger. But you shouldn't be too worried I doubt that is what this shadow sect want to do." The sect master said and then turned around as the door to the elder's hall came crashing open once again.

"Sect master! I am back. Teacher Lin said you might need help with the delivery." The voice of a young girl called out as a gust of windowed entered the hall.

Light pierced through the door creating only a silhouette as the figure of a young girl walked in through the doorway. The doors then suddenly slammed behind her revealing her long brown hair that was cut neatly at the centre of her back.

Her cheeks had a subtle pink glow and her emerald green eyes seemed to glow with excitement as she saw Haru stood in the hall next to the sect master.

"Haru!" The girl shouted as she ran over and grabbed a hold of Haru's arm before hugging him. She closed her eyes and then placed her head against his chest.

"Um… Who are you?" Haru asked. He was genuinely confused. Why was there a strange girl hugging him? It seemed pretty weird that a girl he had never met in his life was now attached to his arm, holding a vice-like grip.

She let go immediately and then retreated.

"You don't recognise me? Well, Teacher did say I have grown up a lot since I have been here. Look, I'm nearly as tall as you now!" She said as she stood next to Haru with her hand on her head.

She seemed to be proud of her height but in reality, she was still short. The top of her head came up to Haru's head. Haru then looked at her more closely. A hint of familiarity emitted from her facial features. A few more seconds of him staring at her went by before he seemed to recognise her.

"Remi? No… You can't be Remi. The Remi I remember wouldn't call me Haru." Haru said and then looked at her face.

Her face grew slightly red as she smiled shyly.

"Then what if I call you… Big brother?" She asked, clearly embarrassed by saying something so childish.

"Wow… You really are Remi." Haru said and then placed his hand on her head.

"Hmm, Maybe you grew a little bit. I don't remember it being this hard the pat your head. That's a shame. I will have to stop doing it then. Maybe that's a little childish for you anyway? I'm sorry." Haru said and then took his hand away.

"No don't!" Remi grabbed his hand and put it back.

"I'm still your little sister you can pat my head whenever you want to!" She smiled.

"Okay, I will do then," Haru said before the sect master interrupted their reunion.

"Say, Remi. I thought you wanted us to stop treating you like a child?" He asked.

"That's just for you guys! Your not my big brother!" She shouted and then smiled happily as she wrapped her arms around Haru's arm once again.

'I thought she would have changed. But it looks like she is the same little kid that I met for only a short time.' Haru thought as The Sect Master and Remi went back and forth arguing.
