Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 30: 3-Star Art

-Nine waves of destruction,

-Seven moves of nirvana,

He also saw some 2-star Arts, but none of them suited his taste. As Kyle walked around in circles looking at the description of all kinds of sword Arts, suddenly his eyes paused on a lone purple book floating in a corner.

The book was filled with dust and the light radiating from the book was dim, indicating it was old and not touched by many.

Kyle slowly approached the book and touched it. The book opened up but barely had any introduction, some of the words written on the old pages were not even properly visible.

________________

\'Name: Void Shattering Strikes\'

\'Art Rank: 3-Star\'

\'Description:\'

Four different Sword moves that can even shatter the Void if practiced diligently.

It can take hundreds of years just to practice a single move to perfection.

-Note: \'The Rank of the Art can be increased after reaching perfection in all four moves\'.

________________

Reading through the explanation Kyle\'s eyes paused on a single sentence that was half visible, \'The Rank of the Art can be increased.\'

Kyle had never heard about an Art whose Rank can be increased, he hurriedly read the introduction again.

There were four different moves and after reaching perfection in all the moves the Rank of the Art will increase. But his eyes narrowed when he read \'It can take hundreds of years just to practice a single move to perfection.\'

\'The heck.\' He almost cursed out loud, The moves were easy so why would it take hundreds of years?

The power described behind the moves was massive but why would he spend hundreds of years just to practice a single Art?

\'Let\'s find another Art.\' Thought Kyle decisively before closing the book like it was garbage.

But the moment he closed the book instead of floating it fell on the floor making a loud sound.

-Thud!

He looked at the book dumbfounded and then he looked at his surroundings to see if anyone was watching. Kyle\'s eyes widened when he saw all the other students were already gathered toward the exit, and right now they were all staring at him. Even Elder Lu who was standing outside looked at Kyle with narrowed eyes.

Kyle cursed inwardly, it seemed the two-hour time was already over. He looked at the dusty purple book, which seemed to be laughing at him. He barely controlled the urge to kick the book.

As Kyle was looking at the book with complicated emotions, Elder Lu said to him from outside;

"Hurry up, the time is almost over. You have only half a minute afterward I will close the gap. And I believe you don\'t want to spend your remaining life inside a hidden room."

Hearing the Elder\'s words Kyle nodded hurriedly before reluctantly picking up the book. It seem they were fated.

He walked toward the exit with a sad face, he made a mistake he should have kept an eye on the time.

After everyone walked out of the hidden room, Elder Lu closed the gap before looking at the students. Even though he was standing outside he kept an eye on some students to see what they chose.

"Now that everyone has gotten the reward, you can leave."

After saying his part Elder Lu started walking toward the exit, but before leaving he glanced at the Librarian who seemed to be holding his laughter.

\'What\'s so funny.\' Thought Elder Lu inwardly before following the Librarian\'s gaze which was fixed on Kyle.

\'Hmm, that kid it seems he picked a useless Art even after spending so much time.\' Elder Lu shook his head, now he understood the Librarian was laughing at the kid.

After Elder Lu left the students also started leaving because no one wanted to miss the morning lecture given by Miss Aliza.

The Librarian was about to walk toward Kyle but Mia stopped him because she wanted to ask some questions about the skill she selected. Meanwhile, Alec and the others stood behind her patiently so they could go to the class together.

Nine approached Kyle who seemed to have lost everything as he was wearing a dejected expression. He slowly tapped on Kyle\'s shoulder,

"What happened? And what Art did you choose."

Kyle looked at Nine who was smiling widely, it seemed he found something nice. Now Kyle felt even more dispirited, he removed Nine hand from his shoulder before throwing the Purple book inside the storage ring.

"I am fine. It\'s just a simple sword Art, what about you?"

"Hahaha, something good. A C-Rank skill, I can\'t believe the Academy giving away so many high-rank skills just like that."

Nine started boasting while both of them walked toward the library exit. Kyle wanted to punch the smile out of his face but controlled himself as Nine was the first friend he made after so long.

It was time for Aliza\'s lecture that\'s why both of them walked toward the classroom. Kyle had already missed the first few lectures and now he didn\'t want to be Absent anymore. He also remembered the glare Aliza gave him when she first saw him. She was quite scary, it\'s better for him to not get on her bad radar.

Soon they entered the classroom, which was already filled as Aliza\'s lectures were quite useful to the students. Some students looked at Kyle and Nine with envy because they just received a reward. Few of them even approached Nine to ask what they got as a reward but after hearing Nine boasting they all smile awkwardly before leaving without looking back.

Kyle went toward the first row seats and sat down, Nine also followed behind him. After a few minutes, Alec and his team also entered the classroom. The moment they entered a lot of students approached them with smiles, but now even Alec knew to ignore the crowd. The four of them walked past the huge crowd, but before they went toward their seats Alec saw Kyle sitting in the first row.

He stopped Carcel and walked toward the first row,

"Let\'s sit in the first row."

Carcel didn\'t care where he sat as he just wanted to attend the lecture that\'s why he followed behind without any question. Lara and Mia also follow suit.

But when Lara saw Alec was sitting on Kyle\'s left side she frowned, she pulled Mia toward the second row behind Alec and Carcel.

"Hi, What Art did you choose." Alec tried to start a conversation with Kyle who was almost on the verge of closing his eyes to sleep.

"Are you talking to me? I chose a sword Art as I lack one." Kyle looked at Alec surprised but still answered.

"Oh, Okh." Alec nodded he wanted to ask more but before he could Aliza entered the class.

She stood behind the podium, picking up the Attendance sheet Aliza briefly glanced at the top ten students.

Her eyes passed on Kyle for a while, he was present today. After watching Kyle\'s performance she knew he needed to attend the lectures the most because he lacked basic knowledge about the sword and his mana control was also bad. She also decided if Kyle skipped class today she would have dragged him to attend the lecture.

Aliza took the Attendance, all the students were present. Afterward, she started the lecture which was about \'mana control\'.
