Eye System

Chapter 90: Master and Senior

With his now stronger body, that trains and strengthens at much faster speeds than others, Lex no longer had to rely on Kano to get up the sewer pipe ledge that he entered from.

Standing parallel to the wall, Lex remembered when he was trying to get up the cliff after being almost killed by Jona, and thinking about how far he had come to the point that he had left behind that reality and was much stronger mentally and wasn't the ignorant kid searching for a purpose that he used to be.

His aims were clearer than they have ever been, but they were always the same, to gain strength, power and wealth so that he can protect and care for the few that were close to him.

Bending his legs and compressing his leg muscles that flexed and protruded, Lex, burst upwards, relying only on his body to reach such high heights.

Lex jumped almost 15 metres and managed to grab onto the ledge before he fell back down.

Pulling himself up from his one hand with ease, Lex climbed into the sewer pipe and walked through the pipes towards where he knew he could leave through the drain.

Lex after 10 days of continuous and strenuous training without relaxing for a moment, rushed out of the sewers with his much faster speed in a few minutes and climbed out of the drain.

Lex was seen by a few people passing by in the slums and received looks as though he was crazy and the stench around Lex's body was so strong that they could smell it from afar.

"I will head back to the orphanage to check if they are okay and thank my master once again" decided Lex.

After the thick weapons book and the Scarlet Flash skill that she gave him, Lex was so grateful and realising her power, had accepted her as his master and senior.

Meanwhile, the old lady was pacing up and down the orphanage in worry.

"I knew I shouldn't have given him my life's work and my most valued skill" she mumbled to herself, as her imagination ran wild and after he disappeared for 10 days assumed he had either died or ran away.

"I was so stupid to think somebody was worthy of carrying my torch," she said to herself as she continued to worry regretting her choice of passing on her life's work to a boy she didn't even know properly.

"Maybe he was sent by the Voltiac Guild and they found me and managed to steal my techniques and my skill"

The more she paced up and the down, the more she continued to worry and her imagination was leading her to all kinds of conclusions regretting her decision of giving Lex her skills as the children in the orphanage were baffled.

While Lex was having a long warm bath in a public bath that he paid to enter and was relaxing as he was cleaning his body.

Lex didn't notice the thick stench of waste and body odour around him as he had became used to it, but as he walked past people he realised how smelly he must be and knowing that he had time, went to a public bath to relax.

After almost an hour Lex tied up his hair and put on a new set of clothes that he had previously bought, then went to the mirror, preparing to leave.

Lex was less shocked this time and honestly didn't care about his hair colour anymore and was more focused on his strength, but looking at his hair it was completely black with strands and highlights that were red, but surprisingly he didn't hate it and it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be.

Leaving the public bath, it was as though he was a completely different person and had a much larger body, even though he was still lean and not bulky so could still be considered slim, but his muscles were bulging with power after the training he did.

"I wonder how my master will react when she sees my progress" mumbled Lex as he walked towards the orphanage that wasn't far away.

While he was away for 10 days there was a single incident where there were some weak low-level bandits that wanted to steal from the orphanage that could be seen to have better conditions and food, but Ashura ruthlessly killed them and disposed of their bodies, but since then Lex's master had been rattled and worried.

"I'm back master" announced Lex as he walked into the orphanage as Ashura flew over and landed on his shoulder.

[This kid really is finally growing and using his body properly, but still hasn't found his complete potential, and it will only make it harder for the Originator Eye Demon to gain control] Ashura thought to himself sensing Lex's power.

"Where the hell have you been" screamed his master as she scurried towards him and whacked him on the head with her walking stick.

Lex saw the attack and felt that it was slow and could dodge it, but at the same time felt as though he couldn't move in the slightest and was struck on the head.

It wasn't a hard, fast or powerful strike but it shocked Lex that he was unable to dodge it, but remembering who she was, it made sense to him.

"You really are a monster and have achieved what took me years in 10 days" she exclaimed in awe as she felt his arms and looking at his decimated hands assumed how hard he must have worked.

"I'm sorry if I worried you master, but I went to train and was too enthralled in the guide you had written and didn't want to stop my progress until now because I need to hand in a mission before the end of the day," said Lex respectfully as he bowed.

Lex knew she would be a valuable asset for him to increase his strength and for her to give him the Scarlet Flash skill and her weapon training guide, Lex was extremely grateful.

All the previous worry and regret she had instantly changed to pride and happiness seeing the body before her with such monstrous potential and determination and was still respectful to her and wasn't arrogant or complacent.

"Good kid you really have shocked me and I am now sure I have made the right decision" she stated with a wide smile as she placed her palm on his shoulder.

With her hand on his shoulder, she seemed to scan his entire body and couldn't help but scream in both shock and awe.

"You have completed more than half of both Mortal Body Levelling and Mortal Power Levelling in 10 days" she screams as each LVL represented a percentage of completing the realm.

"Yeah" replied Lex with a wry smile as he awkwardly scratched his head.

Looking at the boy before her with tied black and red hair who was able to complete half a realm within 10 days it made her feel bad that she had to spend months or even years to complete the same as him, but at the same time was joyous that he became her disciple of sorts.

"Master, I will go and complete some more missions to get some spirit coins and battle with my new weapon techniques and power" interrupted Lex not wanting to waste time and feeling slightly uncomfortable as he felt naked and vulnerable under her gaze that seemed to scan his entire body.

"Okay, but when you return I would like to oversee your training" she called out to him allowing him to leave, but was more curious to see how quickly this monster progresses in his training.

Lex nodded not caring if she watched him and train and actually thought that she might be able to correct him as the writer of the guide.

"You will stay here and guard them as you did before" ordered Lex who had felt that Ashura had fought and knew it must be to protect the orphanage.

Ashura, who wanted to stay with Lex, was bored of being played around by the children like a toy and wanted to battle and gain strength with Lex as he gave him a pleading look.

"Ha, you are a pet and you didn't seem to be so obedient when you forcefully provided me a large amount of energy, damaging my meridians and almost causing me to explode" ridiculed Lex as he flicked the black raven off his shoulder.

"You will follow my orders and are merely my pet understand"

"Now return to the orphanage and protect them" ordered Lex as he tightened the control her felt that he had through his soul.

[You little bastard will pay for disrespecting me like this] vowed Ashura as he flew back into the orphanage, having no choice but to obey him.

Lex felt satisfied after flicking Ashura and ridiculing and talking down to him as he waved at the little girl he had saved previously with a gentle and warm smile as he left the orphanage.
