BETTER CHOICES

A day ago : past time

four kids could be seen going towards the principles office,they were the kids that had decided it was better to seperate from Alex, the merchants kids father had already told his son to talk with the headmaster about changing his class,he was already supposed to be transferred but the kid wanted to see the teacher for hinself.

As his father said ,the teacher was not worth it,he was rash, although the teacher had an insignia but his future was bleak(i already explained why but if someone still doesn't understand ask me).

No one would want to be his disciple ,except for the commoners who had no money or leverage.

He had enough money ....just enough for a last straw ....he did not know about the other three.

=====================================

ALEX POV:- present

I have been thinking for nearly two hours but can't seem two find a way to grow quickly,I need to find better stuff for my childrens,

"Lliam...you can go for now ....tell the other students that we will have classes in the afternoon."

Saying my piece I walk out as I do not have time...maybe I should just walk out and look around....while doing that I can buy some other things such as a batch of all types of weapons for my students, I think I can easily help them choose a weapon they are most suited for.

walking out I summon the map of the capital that I had gotten from Bola, I open up the map and as soon as I see its content I slap my head ,"Obviously its a pub..." I can find some decent cultivators there and will not look awkward while I sit their" I could also just go to this place master hall but something told me if I go their and just stand there someone is gonna get offended.

Making up my mind to go to a pub of sorts I first go look for the famous heavenlyMedicine pavillion , its a merchant sect that specializes in medicine ,they are the most famous known pill masters in this continent from what I know(according to my memories)

after looking around I come across a big beautifully crafted pagoda ,it has many floors ,almost thirty ,it looks so beautiful that I cannot take my eyes away from it.

I go inside the pavillion and just as I enter the vast fragrance of pulls all around me assauts me ,I cant help but want to suck it all in.

"Hello dear customer ,what can I do for you ,are you looking for any specific variety of pills" said a beautiful sister that one cannot help but hug with full force ,

"Yes ,I would like to get some pills ,for new cultivators ,possibly sensing qi pills meridian cleansing pills .....also if you have some medicine for attracting specific beasts ,all of earth grade " I said to her as eloquently as I coukd.

Although I have the memories of the previous owner he was just a cultivation maniac that never came out of his shell so I dont know the names of that many pills ,it would be best to get recommendation from a profecional.

I also extracted some martial skills from herwhile I was at it.

"Respected customer can wait here while I go and fetch for your requested items" she gave a nod as she went her way

After she leaves my sight ,I start to look around me ,there are pills everywhere maybe I will find some interesting pills.

After looking around a while I did not find anything good enough for me, just as I wanted to go above the stairs to the next floor , the lady came back with different vials probably comtaining pills .

"Here are your requested items sir, you have to pay 16 gold coins" said the lady as she moved her hand forward in order to recieve money.I gave the requested without question as I knew it was the right price.

Now I needed to go to a good place where I can get weapons for my students ,I would also like a armor for myself,my ring does not have anything like a armor in it and the only really expensive thing I have is my sword.

Asking the receptionist lady for a good place for weapons ,I made way towards what she called 'Tachros smithy' ,according to her ,this shop is owned by a famous blacksmith , and theprices are also reaonable

I go straight for the reception and say my piece ,I just wanted to get this done,the reason I wanted to get this done faster is because of the fact that they do not have any beautiful sisters for me to look at.

I also extract some martial skills from this guy that I think might be useful later on .I could sell em or something ,after writing it in a book of course.

I bought a bunch if different weapons of the lowest quality for now ,I dont want my money to go to waste.

Just as I was about to go outside the door ,my feet stop in their tracks as a figure goes past me , I feel a happy chill from my spine , I feel excited. the figire is half my size , bulky big beard , but mist imortant is the panel that floats avove him.

[TACHROS -SKY BLACKSMITH]

Cultivation manual:-Reverberating fire manual Earth peak grade

cultivation stage:-17 stage peak

Skills:-

profession:-

Law:- Law of fire at stage 10..(due to smithing)

I quickly start formulating plans about how to make him stop or start a long conversation with him.

I quickly take out one of the low quality sword I bought ,give it a tug while in my arms ,given my strength it breaks easily under pressure and the sound of it breaking reverberates tbroihout the shop ,the dwarf like man stops in his tracks,seeing that I have successfully grabbed his attention.I pretemd to walk towards the counter , while getting clise to him and slam the brilen.sword on the counter",What is this , are you guys scamming me this sword is so frail,it broke with just a tug , how can I ensure the safety of my students in a spar , I demand you to call for its maker , call out that scamming blacksmith.

I yell out in a wronged voice , I can feel the dwarf breathing become haggard ,probably with anger ,the swords were of excellent quality for their grade but I was just too strong, he starts to walk closer to me ,"Kid what did you say, did you just call me a scammer, I dont believe that I have made a faulty product" he walks over towards me and glares at me ,seing his short stature ,I just wanted to laugh at him but I stop.

"I mean what I said,did you make it , this is a faulty sword ,look at it it clearly looks like its not properly hammered into straightness"

I said while throwing the broken.sword towards him while he examines it .

As he examines it, I act all cool because I am sure that he can't deny my reason, I especially deformed it from the sides and then broke it from pressure ,hehe

probably thinking that why a cultivator as strong as himself would frame him wrongly starts feeling a bit doubtful.

Even if he finds out that I tried to wrongly frame him ,I can just run away .not like he is strong enough to stop him ,especially knowing that he does not have a movement teachnique in his arsenal.

Since I have finished my business ,I just run away leaving the blacksmith to himself.

this is the first time I have actually seen someone have a prifession , does that mean I can extract any persons profession as well, what if I come cross a alchemist(pillmasters), array masters, etc

I feel like I have been.sitting in front of the anvil for ages , feeling the heat, the sound of the hammer hitting the hot iron.

From my new knowledge I can create a better sword for myself,its better than buying it for myself at a sky high price. I even got a great cultivation technique ,my current ine and the one I just got , the later is obviously many times better and more ...what should I say unique.

I have gained knowledge of fire ,sword,spear ,water ,I dont have knowledge of any other laws but its still early it will be a whike later that the kids will eed to learn laws ,they have to cross stage 3 first.

I have so many thoughts in my mind that they start to bump into each other.

=====================================

THIRD PERSON POV:-

As it is still not evening time ,Alwx decides that he will go back to the academy,Alex did not yet realize that he also had a unique approach to the laws. ,way different from the people of this world,the approach of science.

Alex makes his way to the academy,he wanted to distributes the resources and help the students in choosing a weapon they were most comfortable with .

As alex reached the training grounds ,he saw that all his students were standing outside the ground while looking at a bunch of students .

A man of about 32 years old was teaching the students ,some kind of martial skills,"would not hurt to extract some more cards" is what Alex thought as he made way to his students.

Noticing their teacher coming towards them.their original sad look changed into one of happiness and anticipation. Alex came in front of them and spoke,"Why are you guys standing over here like idiots ,I think I told you to sens qi with all you have,looks like you kids are not taking my words seriously"

Hearing Alex the kids shook ,Lliam came forwards with hurried steps and spoke respectfully,"Students greets teachers,it is not that we did not want to do what sir irdered ,but we cannot,the people of class E are not letting us do anything on our share of the grounds ,so we did not go back and waited here for you."

Hearing Lliam speak,Alex got the gist of what was going on,these degraded rich kids were trying to show the commoners where they belong, But they forgot one thing ,these kids were his students,they were the students of Alexender Stone ,the future strongest master.

The training grounds were partitioned according to class and years , so that no fights occur between people of different statuses.

He made his way over to the teacher of class E, first year,The man also noticed hime xoming towards himself ,he displayed a genuine smile as he greeted Alex.

Alex was surprised by the mans genuine smile ,but did not show it on his face,before Alex could ask the man ,the man replied,"Greetings fellow cultivator,my name is shang Yi,a fellow teacher"

Alex said,"Greetings my name is Alex,Alexender stone,I would like to ask you why did you stop my students from cultivating"

Alex felt impressed that he was given a genuine greeting by this person so he decided to be polite,you cant just slap a smiling face.

Hearing Alex,Shang yi showed an expression of pity as he put his hands on Alex shoulder ,as if Alex was a oerson who was suffering from cancer and said,"I admire your dedication Alexender ,I am just trying to help you ,let these kids go on their own they are not worth our time ,by the end of this year ,you will get a new class"

Hearing Shang ,Alex was surprised ,Shang yi had thought that Alex will not be able to have these students turn into cultivator ,he was right about that, before all the teacher that taught class F knew that it did not get to be promoted it was just the headmasters way of making some extra cash. Even the training grounds only had a single lot for class F .because they never made it to second year.

It was like asking a chicken to roar like a dragon, but this was Alex ,he had already decided once and he would not go back on his words,knowing that the teacher meant well for him ,he did not lash out ,and besides he had already plundered the teacher all he could and that was enough as an apology.

"I am happy that you are concerned about my well being ,but I think I will still have it my way ,I hope you can ask your students to clear my lot."

[Lot is a place , a designated area in a specific field or something close to that]

Shang Yi was surprised by Alex words, but he did not continue further,he had already wasted his time ,he gave a nod as he asked his students to clear the lot .

The day resumed as normal ,Alex gave the students thheir resources ,he decided that he would help them ,choose their weapons later,there was a more pressing matter at hand,he did not know of his students names aside from lliam ,that was bad a thing.

"Alright before we end the class,all of you introduced your selves," Said Alex as he loudly claoped his hands clearing away the dirt from his clothes ,he had just used the law of wind for that,he had gotten it from.the teacher Shang yi.

A boy with black hair , and sharp nose with a round jawline stood up ,"My name is Zhuan,I come from a rural village close to Lliams village ,village no 60"

Another stood stood up,it was a girl,the only one in the group,"My name is Mei ,I am from bluelake city "

Another stood up ,this time it was a blonde haired kid, he may be a commoner but if he were to be pampered well,could turn out to be a lady killer,"My name is Black, I am from Mirthstone city,its famous for its mines"

The fifth student stood up,this one had black hair ,he looked like a weterner just like black,"My name is Li Wei , I have a family name because it was given as an honour to my great grandfather by the emperor for his merits in the army,I am not a noble"

When Li Wei spoke, he had a slight steeliness in his voice.

The last student stood up , "I am Chen, I come from a commoner family , from a rural village located besides the chung mountains ,village number 12."

Alex nodded as he remembered all the information in his mind , he did not want to embarrass himself .The students went on their way as Alex left for his room, he had planned it all out ,by the end of this month he would ask the students to leave the academy and go with him,of course ,he will say this after he shows them that he can make them something much more,more than what the acdemy ever could.And for that ,he would have to test his abilities once again he had a theory in his mind.It was almost like a real idea and if his experiment were to be successful ,it could fasten his plans by a long margin.

He had to extract cards from all the teachers of the this acdemy first , he could go to the pub after that,all do both at the same time .

There were approximately fifteen teachers in this academy excliding him,he was sure to get a treasure, his thought of getting the same card over and over could also strengthen the same type of cards ,if that were true it would be a game changer.

====================================

Alex's PLAN:-

His plan is to test out if he can strengthen his skills ,laws and other stuff by repeatedly extracting the same one over and over .
