Chapter 8 - CHAPTER 8: Invitation

After Leon saw the notification he then turned around facing the beauty who's still staring at him with a complicated expression, staring at her directly Leon just realized how beautiful she was.... a black hair with blueish tone at the tip,her long black lashes fluffing mesmerizingly every time she blinks,a pinkish soft lips....deep blueish eyes and a flawless glowing fair skin.

She wore a crop top exposing her flat belly with a off shoulder,a black jeans and a pair of white sneakers....a pendant with the shape of a snowflake were worn on her neck same as her ears too a snowflake shape earing and finally her hair were left flowing freely down her back reaching her waist.

Leon was captivated by her beauty as he stared at her for a few seconds before snapping out of his daze....he then activated his skill.

After Leon saw the information about her he then decided to ask for her name since it will be weird if he already knows it.

Ummm miss are you okay or are you hurt somewhere Leon said changing his mind about asking her name first.... no am fine thanks for saving me Ariel said while staring intently at Leon.

That's good then... if you are fine I guess I will be on my way Leon said turning around but before he could move forward she called out to him.

Wait....she said, Leon then turned around facing her before asking yes what do you need me for. What's your name please she asked with a curious gaze....my name's Leon he said nonchalantly.

Mines Ariel nice meeting you Leon and thanks for saving me once again Ariel said while stretching out her hand, Leon stared at the hand for a few seconds before accepting the handshake.... the pleasures mine and you don't need to thank me.

Are you from the cultivators academy perhaps Ariel asked with a questioning gaze.

No am not Leon replied.... Ariel widened her eyes in shock as she mutter loudly you are not from the cultivators academy.

Yes am not...is there a problem perhaps Leon said, no there isn't it's just that am surprised that a beginner level black grade cultivator as young as you was able to take down three middle and peak level black grade cultivator with ease and you are not even from cultivators academy.

Are students from the academy that powerful Leon asked.

Not all but they are elite classes compromising of students as strong as you or even stronger Ariel explained.

Are you from the cultivators academy too and what exactly is the academy Leon asked.

Yes am from the academy too and also from the elite classes and as for your question about what the academy is let me explain... the academy which was built to help young cultivators to grow stronger is a place teaching young people ranging from thirteen years to twenty five years how to use their abilities, their strength and their knowledge. It's also a place to determine who's strong and who's not and also which category you belong to for example if you are stronger than a normal black grade like you then you will be assigned to the exterminator classes but if you are weaker than normal then you will be assigned to any other classes nurturing your potential till you graduate at the age of twenty five or even earlier Ariel explained.

Okay but where is it located and what are they offering Leon asked slightly interested in the topic.

Hahaha Ariel chuckles beautiful before continuing each city tiers has a cultivators academy but the higher the tier the better the academy....as for what they offer they are job opened from different organization after graduating and during the academy rewards of different kinds will be given ranging from weapons to techniques and the likes.

It doesn't sound bad....so which tier are you attending the academy from Leon asked.

Am attending the academy at tier four Ariel said nonchalantly.

What the hell Leon said in surprise... just how much are you paying for the academy.

That should be around ten thousand silver coins Ariel said.... Leon almost falls on his knees after hearing the price as he stared at Ariel completely speechless as the highest coins he has ever seen in his life is sixty silver coins.

Ariel noticed Leon staring at her intently she then blush slightly before looking away. You don't have to look at me like that it's not that much Ariel said.

"NOT MUCH" Leon screamed in his head before saying ahhh it seems you belong to a rich family, unfortunately I don't have that much money so I will pass.

Well I admit that I come from a rich family but still I would like you to enroll at the academy... don't worry I will bear all the expenses Ariel said.

Why are you willing to go to such lengths on my behalf Leon said feeling suspicious.

I haven't seen a genius as you.... able to take down people two levels above you, your talent will be nurture further at the academy and also count it as repaying my debt to you for saving me.

I think I can grow stronger even without the academy and besides you don't need to pay me back for saving you Leon said.

Just give the academy a go I promise you it will be worth it and if you are not pleased I can bring you back here or anywhere else you want to go Ariel said.

"Sigh" fine then since you insisted I will give it a go Leon said dejectedly.

A small smile appears on her face as she said thank you I promise it will be worth it... and the academy is currently on a vacation but it will resume back in the next one month so there's enough time to prepare.

That's good then because I still have some things left to do here Leon said.

Sure but can I have your mobile communicator contact so I can share you all the details Ariel asked while pulling out her mobile communicator.
