Chapter 46- Catching attention
"What! Have I been cultivating for two days! But it only felt like few hours to me." Grey exclaimed when he heard the captain's words.
The captain did not speak again and walked out the door. Tyler and Ange walked out with him in tow with a gloomy expression on his face.
"Damn. Ange, I never knew my breakthrough would take that long and could almost have cost us our chance at Sky mist academy." Grey said with a sorry expression.
"What are you talking about? Ange has already registered. If you had taken any longer, it would have been you who cost yourself the opportunity of taking the Sky mist academy exam." Tyler said nonchalantly.
'What! Then what did you guys make me afraid for?' Of course he didn't dare say this to someone as powerful as her. He couldn't even feel spirit energy fluctuations coming from her, yet alone knowing which level she was.
"Don't worry, you can still register in time. What you should be afraid of now is whether you can enter Sky mist academy." Tyler said calmly. Because Ange had already registered, she did not need to come with them.
So under the cool evening sky, A beautiful Lady and with an elegant appearance and calming eyes lead the way followed by a young boy with Grey hair and wonderful skin.
They walked on the streets of Sky mist city, catching attention from both ladies and men. Because of her elegant aura, and the calm but cold expression on her face, Tyler caught a lot of looks from men passing by. Young men who were not even twenty would stare at her for a good few seconds. Not even averting their gaze when she left.
As for Grey, he caught even more attention. His grey hair and eyes were quite peculiar and could be noticed out in a crowd. Most of the girls who looked at him were even older than Tyler.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable under these blushing stares, he pulled up his hood and covered Hus face. "Hm, much better!" Grey muttered under his breath.
"Oh!" Tyler looked at him in surprise, it was clear that she was also feeling uncomfortable under these lustful stares.
"Because we are very late, we will have to fly instead." Tyler cleared her throat and spoke calmly and then a soft green light enveloped Grey as she took the skies.
"Agreed!"
Grey's only thought was that if the captain was here, all those girls wouldn't be able to hold themselves back with his handsome look and charmingness.
Their speed was so fast that all he could see was a blur. But surprisingly, he did not feel a thing probably because of the green light that covered him.
'This should be a good time to ask her what her relationship with the captain us.' He said to himself internally and turned to look at her. My Virtual Library Empire (M-VLEMPYR)
He face was nonchalant but he couldn't help but feel that she was the most beautiful lady he had ever seen. Her hair fluttered slightly in the wind. And her clothes hugged her body and curves in all the right places. Feeling a blush creep unto his face, he turned his face away and said.
"Miss Tyler, I just want to ask a question?" Tyler looked at him and nodded, giving him the affirmation he was looking for.
"How do you know the captain?" Tyler sighed before answering.
"We were disciples under the same master. But he did something that angered our master and the entire academy and was exiled." Tyler replied.
"What did he do wrong that he was given such a punishment that could have separated both of you?" Grey wanted to ask in a delicate way, but he didn't know how and just asked normally.
"It's not in my place to tell. You'll find out eventually if you stay in the academy long enough. Oh, look we are already here!" With that, they gently flew down and landed on the ground in front of a huge building.
The building looked ordinary compared to the other buildings but only this one had people queuing to enter. Even though this was the last day, many people were still coming to register to take the Sky mist exam.
Since the Sky mist academy only accepts students once every few years, and the number of students being accepted at a time was just a little more than fifteen, there was a lot of competition as people would come from neighboring cities just to register.
Seeing the long queue that had thousands of people on it, Grey's expression turned gloomy. Tyler looked this number unfazed and beckoned for him to follow.
As they walked into the building, some cultivators in the Foundation establishment realm stood and tried to block their way. But when they saw her cold face, they expressions cracked into one of surprise but it soon turned to respect.
"Miss Tyler, you're here again!" One of the men said. He did not even take look at Grey as his gaze was on Tyler, but she ignored him and continued to walk with Grey in tow.
The cultivators let her pass through and together they entered the building. Once out of ear-shot, Grey asked.
"Miss Tyler, who were those people?"
"I thought the captain said that you were mature and didn't ask questions anyhow." She looked at him suspiciously. Grey looked down in embarrassment as he closed his mouth and his expression turned indifferent.
'I was just curious, that's all.'
They entered the building but didn't go to the register in the last floor, instead they took the elevator up.
Grey was curious but learnt now not to ask silly questions. They waited patiently for several seconds before they got off.
It had been several months since Grey last saw technology like this. He was even starting to miss earth a bit.
They walked into towards 406 by the right. Tyler did not even bother knocking and just entered. Sitting behind a desk was a handsome middle aged man. He had his right hand face palming when they entered.
"Miss Tyler, what are you doing here. Again." The middle-aged man said with tiredness in his voice. He didn't even bother to hide the irritation in his face.
For the first time ever, Tyler's face changed and she had a soft look on her face. The same soft look that only the captain had the privilege of inciting.
"But Uncle, I told you that I would be coming back soon. You didn't forget did you?" Tyler pouted as she patted the seat next to her.
Grey was stunned band hesitated for a few seconds before he sat down. Tyler gave a him a short glance and he pulled down his hood.
