'That's 5th level sword will'

A feminine giggle sounded off in the distance, "Don't be so dramatic brother in law, you know those two can't control themselves. If you were as beautiful as you were handsome, maybe I'd take a chance with you instead of my goddess Madeleine."

A bird made of wind swooped down, dispersing to reveal a tall girl with jet black hair and blue eyes.

"I see the two of you are still fond of not wearing shirts," Knoton shook her beautiful head after casting a look toward Hashim and Lehabim, "Barbarians."

Oliver's lip twitched, 'Brother in law? Who's your brother in law?'

"So, it's lady Jessica Knoton. It's a pleasure," Oliver still replied politely.

Jessica nodded towards Oliver, before turning a look of disdain towards Hashim and Lehabim.

"Did you think my Madeleine would be impressed by your testosterone filled heads? You two disgust me. There are a million, trillion men in this world more muscular than the two of you, so how about you go take a shower and put on a shirt, you're stinking up the night air."

Oliver almost slapped his own forehead, 'Weren't you just trying to get them to stop fighting? Now you're adding fuel to the flames.'

Lehabim and Hashim turned their heated gazes towards Jessica, their eyes roaming over her tight black training suit.

"It's a shame her temperament isn't as elegant or graceful as Madeleine's."

Hashim nodded in agreement, "She's not as beautiful either."

Lehabim and Hashim nodded together like they had suddenly become the best of friends.

"Who said my love isn't as beautiful!?"

A round boy bounded over to the group just as sparks were about to ignite.

Jessica's lip twitched, "Who's your love! I don't need you to protect me Orbis. You can either be silent, or you can taste my wind blades like these two."

Oliver, seeing a fight was about to break out, jumped out again to try and mediate, "Brothers, sister, please. The central pillar world opens up tomorrow morning. I know you all don't want to risk injury before that. Let's just talk about martial arts like the old days."

A girl with dirty blond hair and brown eyes walked slowly to the group, "Brother Sapientia is right. How about you bring out the other Focus Academy geniuses, Oliver? It might help water down the situation."

Oliver sighed in relief, seeing the young woman of the Viridi Clan. His heart pounded slightly faster, but he did his best to maintain a calm smile.

"Since Sister Venus wants to see the Focus Academy alumni, I'll call them over. Chenglei and Akihiko are currently trying their best to win over their fiances, but there's still Draco and the top the from the 6th years. I can call over a few other promising geniuses as well. Remember Avios? Although he most likely passed away, his little sister is quite a genius too.

"Just recently turned 17 during the spring, yet she recently broke into the 6th foundation layer. Also, there's Tammy from the Storm family. It seems like she's their top genius. She's about to turn 19 yet is already at the 8th layer! I'll bring them over."

Lehabim looked excited, "Ava? She's a red head too right?"

"Hmph, can't even focus on one girl yet you think you have the right to seek out my goddess?" Spoke Hashim in disdain.

"You're one to talk. You can't even speak cordially with the Duco family senior sisters without stuttering a blushing. I swear the shine on your head amplifies tenfold when they're around."

"You! It's called a healthy respect. A. Healthy. Respect." Hashim said defiantly.

"Disgusting." Jessica said in disdain.

"Would you like some water my love," Orbis didn't wait for an answer as he brought over a pitcher of water and poured a cup for Jessica.

Jessica took the cup with a harrumph, "If only I knew where my Madeleine was staying, then I wouldn't have to be here," She muttered.

"Come, come. Sit at the banquet table. The geniuses of Focus Academy will be here shortly. In the meantime, we can just talk. I actually had questions I wanted to ask you about the will of wind, Jessica," Oliver said with a smile.

The next morning, hundreds of young men and women stood on the top floor below the roof of the Central Pillar.

The pillar family heads stood in front of the crowd before Patia-Neva took a step forward to speak.

"As you all know, our Focus Academy is built in the wreckage of what used to be the Celestial Deer Sect. Although what we found was minimal and could only be stored in the small library in our center pillar, there was one thing that was left in the best of conditions: the center pillar world.

"This is actually a teleportation array to what we believe is an Elvin Forest. We aren't even certain of the grade of array it is, so we can't be certain of how far it teleports you and can definitely not protect you. We've found over the years that while the Elvin Government may allow younger cultivators in, they kill cultivators above 25 with no hesitation.

"We believe this might have to do with a pact the Elvin Kingdoms had with the Celestial Deer Sect. Although we cannot be certain, the information we have cost the lives of many elders. Take this very seriously. Although there is no cap on the amount of times we can use this array, it still takes tens of thousands of profound stones to activate.

"So, this is a heavy investment for our school. Make sure to grasp this opportunity. The array will automatically teleport you back in one month. Good luck! And be careful! You must stay within the designated areas!"

Once Patia-Neva's voice finished calling out, the sound of excited chatter filled the floor.

"Do you know anything about the Elvin World big sister?"

Venus ruffled her little brother's dirty blonde hair with a gentle expression in her eyes.

"Not much, but I do know that there are what they call Intent fruits there in addition to cultivation fruits. The intent fruits make it easier to understand wills and, if they're of good enough quality, Intents.

"The cultivation fruits make body tempering and meridian formation more gentle a smooth. In addition, with the atmosphere of nature in their kingdom, it's very good for us of the Viridi clan."

Eli nodded obediently, "Uncle Ail agreed to come back big sister, that's good right?"

Venus smiled, "Of course, father misses him very much. He misses you more though, you were so stubborn to come all the way here."

Eli smiled like a child proud of his deeds. Venus could only giggle and turn towards the flashing array.
