A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 57: First time in a class

He had never been to an academy before. He didn't know were to go or what to do.

He was confused again for the second time. First, it was when he arrived in skytrident city and now in this academy.

"Well, it's an experience for me. Except my life would be full of fear and worries while in here" he said in his mind.

As he was confused of where to go. Someone came over to meet him.

He turned to see who came over to his side. It was a boy and through his cultivation perception sense, he could sense the boy was in the late-phase condensation stage.

"Hi" the boy greeted. "Hello" Alex replied in a friendly tone.

"My name's Will" the boy said. "Okay my name's Alex." Alex replied.

"I guess this must be your first time in an academy. Right?" Will asked. "Yea. My first time. How did you know that?" Alex asked in a surprised tone.

The boy smiled. "From the confused look in your face. It is glaring to anyone" Will said.

"Oh" Alex exclaimed in an embarrassed tone. Then he asked "Will, can you tell me what to do? Which of the buildings should I go into to receive lecture?"

"You see all these tall and imposing buildings. There are six of them. Each of these six buildings are for different stages of cultivation. From the entry stage to the saint stage" Will said.

Alex's eyes shone. "That's awesome. But I can see numerous floors in the buildings. What are they used for?" he asked.

"Those floors are halls that can contain thousands of students. A subject is taught in each of these halls. They are acrobat, martial arts, alchemy or pill making, arrays and formations, lectures on methods of cultivation of a particular energy, weaponcrafting or weaponmaking, inscription, treasure forging, painting, music, military and general knowledge." Will replied.

Alex's eyes shone in amazement.

"Uncle Houston has been keeping me away from fun." he complained in his heart.

But he knew why his uncle did it. It was for his sake.

"The academy would be fun if I was just like everyone of them. If I was not above the ordinary" Alex concluded in his mind.

But he said this without any seriousness.

If he had to choose again between overpowered and normal, he would go for the overpowered option.

"So, if you would want to go for any of the lecture blocks. Go to the one that's for your cultivation stage and that is over there" Will said and pointed at a place.

"Alright. It's time for me to head out to receive my lectures for the day. It was nice talking to you Alex. See you later."

Alex nodded. "Okay. Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it. It was also nice speaking to you. Talk to you later bro" Alex said.

Will hurried off to the building that was after the one he pointed to for Alex. This was the building where classes for the condensation stage was held.

He was already late by fifteen minutes for his classes.

Same with Alex who dashed to the building he was going to receive lectures.

When he entered the building, he came across the first hall.

He could hear the loud voice of an instructor as he gave lectures.

A class was being held at the moment.

Then Alex looked into the hall though a see-in in the large door, he saw it was already full with thousands of students.

They were seated and were listening to lectures as they jot down a thing or two in their books.

His face turned sour.

When he enters, he would pull a lot of attention to himself because the door into the hall was before the thousands of students.

Everyone would be looking at him. He didn't like such great attention. Another reason for the sourness of his face was because he was Jennifer's boy. This made him popular. Everyone wanted to see him. People who didn't know he was before would want to know.

And he wasn't an attention seeker. He didn't like being in the floodlight of fame.

He took a deep breath and pushed the doors open to enter.

Once he entered, he saw the great number of students. They were dressed in their uniforms and sat on their seats receiving lectures.

They were a general knowledge class the moment which would go on for forty-five minutes. When this class was over, the students would then move to the other halls to receive their remaining lectures.

The instant Alex entered, he pulled the attention of everyone as they all turned their faces to look at the lazy person who was just entering class at this time.

Then they saw Alex.

When they saw him, their eyes began to glow in all sorts of light.

Some of the boys gazed at him in envy at his lady-snatching terrific looks, others because of his strength and skills, he had good aerial maneuverability skills and strength. Since he beat Kenneth. As for the others, their eyes glowed in anger just for no reason, probably they were jealous he would be talking to Instructor Jennifer.

A gist had spread amongst all of them that Alex had gone to see her in her office and later went to her living residence.

These came from the spies they put out there to monitor Alex's movement.

No instructor had ever invited anyone to their apartment before and instructor Jennifer at that.

The most beautiful instructor, they believed, should be the most beautiful woman in their continent.

With extreme envy and anger in their heart, they complained bitterly inwardly. "Who the fuck does he think he is?"

Alex didn't know being involved with the instructor they admired so much had caused these boys to be offended to the maximum and beyond.

Just because of this reason without doing anything to them, he was immensely hated.

Alex couldn't be bothered with their gazes.

He just knew no matter what one did in this life, whether you do the greatest kindness, if there are seven admirers, one would surely be an hater.

As for the girls, such an handsome and strong boy tugged their heartstrings.

Still, there are some that looked on with disinterested eyes. Not everyone would be interested in you even if you are the most perfect and most arresting human in the world.

But Alex didn't bother himself with their gazes too.

He went to search for a seat to sit and then receive the lectures for the remaining minutes when he was called over by the instructor in the hall.

"Who are you?" He asked in a strict tone.

Alex's eyes shone. He thought everyone should know who he was by now. Even the instructors should know.

"My name's Alex." Alex replied respectfully.

"Alex? Never heard of that. How did you get into this academy? Because I know the academy is far from admitting students" he asked seriously.

As a cultivator, if he knew about Alex a million years ago, he would effortlessly recall the details about him.

This is because once one became a cultivator, one would possess vast superhuman retentive memory or enhanced photographic memory.

They would never be able to forget all that they came across.

"I was brought in by Instructor Jennifer" Alex replied.

"Ohhh. You are the boy everyone has been heated up about. It's nice meeting you" He said with a friendly, gentle smile.

Then the smile plastered on his face vanished and was replaced by seriousness. "So because you are Jennifer's boy, does that mean you should come late to my class?" he asked.

Alex was taken aback by his abrupt facial expression transformation. "No sir. I was delayed by a friend of mine. I am sorry for coming late to class. It won't happen next time" he said and apologized.

"Good! At least you know how to show some remorse. Go find a seat. I want to resume my lecture" He said.

"Alright sir."

Alex then went to look for a seat. It wasn't easy getting a seat in the midst of thousands.

He eventually got one when someone called his attention to a particular seat that was vacant.

He sat down and began to listen to the instructor's lecture.
