Young Graduate

"Ellisia Dewer, student of the Holcure Academia!"

After this was said, the brutes in-front of the girl stood there for a second before laughing their heads off.

"Hahahahahaha!!! Like we would actually be stupid enough to believe that!" One of the goons said as he practically rolled on the floor in laughter.

This slightly pissed of the figure, and in response she grabbed her coat and threw it off of her body in a dramatic fashion.

Underneath it was a dark blue, long-sleeved, gold-edged blazer that reached the girl at just over her belly button. Under that was a crisp and neatly starched and ironed white blouse that was tucked neatly in her navy blue, gold-hemmed, a little below mid-thigh height, skirt. The school crest was sewn on loud and proud on her shoulder. Her fire-orange hair was done up in a neat pony-tail that reached down to her waist.

Honestly, if it weren't for the slightly murder-ish aura she had around her, she would have looked like a doll, even though her face had not a single trace of makeup on it.

The showing of her clothes had four mouths open in an '0' before her. Only the 'boss' kept his composure.

"U-uhm boss" a goon started to stutter, "This chick looks like she's the real deal!" The other looked like they agreed and were slowly backing out.

'This is good.' Ellisia thought to herself, 'If they get the picture, then I can finally get going. I'm going to be late for the ceremony at this rate!' She wasn't even putting these idiots in her first line of worries.

In all truth and honesty, Ellisia doesn't usually go out of her way to do this for someone else, but because of the situation, and the event today, she felt a rare spark of charity today, so this was all just on a whim and she would take the fastest way out if possible.

Sadly though, their boss is really too full of himself.

"Ha! So you have on a set of stolen clothes, so what? Its quite obvious that you are not a Holcurean, because I know for a fact that those suck up pansies wouldn't dare to even let their students show up down here for fear of being dishonoured!" He shouted back confidently.At this, the retreating figures stopped, thought about what was said, and walked back up with evil smiles on their faces.

"Heh heh heh. You thought you could make fun of us didn't you? And don't even think about saying that you are the sponsor student that everyone's raging on about, because I've heard that one before. Besides, I know for a fact that this 'girl' your talking about is a man!" One of the goons finished off.

This made Ellisia start to get pissed. Through gritting teeth, she asked them about that comment.

"And tell me per-say, how do you know this?" The next fluctuation in her mood would be greatly dependent on their answer to her question, even thought she could already guess it.

"Well, just think about it." their leader started up again, "They say that this kid got his own foundation element far before the usual time, and that in itself is impossible for for women to as their bodies are just too weak for even cultivation, let alone cultivation at that young an age. So therefore it has to be a boy who's identity their keeping a secrete so that he doesn't get assassinated or something." The boy said as-a-matter-of-factly, with a smug look glued on his face.

Right now, Ellisia was boiling with rage, and knew the best outlet for it.

"Alright then! If your so confident about that theory, why don't you come and prove it!" She called over to them.

"It's not a theory, it's a fact!" The leader called back before indicating to the others behind him. "Guys, remind this b*tch which gender is on top of the food chain!" He said before they rushed towards her.

The first one made an attempt at grabbing her, but it failed as she gracefully twirled out of the way, then swung her foot into the still moving boy's gut and sending him crashing through a pile of garbage.

A second attempt at a grab came, this time from behind, but it also failed as she ducked and went into a handstand, instantly launching her feet at her new opponent. One foot landed directly in the spot just below his ribs, and another landed straight into his jaw. He also was sent flying, only this time onto a building's roof!

Seeing this, the other two instantaneously changed tactics and they both aimed a heavy punch at her face. Ellisia didn't panic from the incoming fists as she was just coming up from her resistance, but instead just put her hand between the left and right fist coming for her face, and immediately turned it broad way with such a force, it forced their hands apart!

With this, they were wide open and Ellisia wasn't letting this chance slip away. Instantly, her too palms flew up and connected to the goons' faces, taking them off of their feet with both her and their momentum. She then slammed them strait into the ground by their heads while they were in mid-air, causing the air to be displaced and the floor to crack!

This was but a fraction of her power when only using pure strength, and yet the resulting display was that terrifying!

"Hahaha, so you actually have a bit of strength? So what!? Now I'll really put you in your place you wh*re!" The leader said while activating a cultivation base!

Seeing this, surprise flashed over the girl's face for an instant before receding. The boss saw this and mistaking for contempt for he said,

"Aha! Not so tough now are ya!? This is a genuine mark of the Denrue, and you know what that means don't ya?" he said, finally losing it at the revelation this girl only had a bit more strength than your average person, but not much else! This knowledge, to him, was so powerful it almost drove him mad.

"Nope, never heard of them." Ellisia responded nonchalantly.

This almost made the poor youth in-front of her spit blood as he choked on how she just handled the news! In a fit of rage, he fired off a technique at her.

"That's it! I've had enough of you! Now be gone from my sight! Fire Arrow!!!" He yelled before waving his hand at her, causing a string of fire to be launched at her.

The girl didn't try to dodge, but instead took the attack head-on!

"Fool! That was my most powerful attack! It would have been wise for you to have dodged it when you had the chance, but now your....."

"Hmmm, it's a good technique but it has a lot of flaws. With my foundation of the fire element, I can make this even more effective. However, at best, I can only use it as a beginners technique for the start of my cultivation outdoors, but it'll have to do for now."

At this, the leader almost died on the spot due to shock! Not only did this chick take his attack head-on and survived without even a slight burn on her clothes, she also completely comprehended his best technique that was so powerful, he even encrypted it, and with the space of seconds! Who exactly is this woman!

"Now, allow me to properly introduce myself." Ellisia said before she appeared in-front of the boy from where she was standing in a half blink of an eye, before taking hold of his crested arm. She was just too fast!

"Ellisia Dewer, student of the Holcure Academia, and a graduate of the year '67 - '86!" She said in an militant voice before releasing her restraints and flooding her cultivation vessels with fire essence, and channeling it into the boy's arm.

Almost instantly, the mark shattered and the boy aged to about fifty years older immediately afterwards.

"You! What have you done to me!?" The boy cried out in dismay.

"Hmmmm... It seems I guessed correctly." Ellisia started, "Although the mark increased your power output and maybe improved your essence regeneration capabilities, it ruined your cultivation system and left your foundation element unstable, so a sudden increase in the power input completely destroyed it." She concluded, causing the young old man before her to roll around in dismay before finally falling unconscious.

"Alright dears, your safe." Ellisia said to the two young girls curled up in a corner, jaws dropped to the floor as they tried to comprehend everything.

After a while without them responding, Ellisia just left them and went off. Just before she did thought, she felt a presence which she felt upon entering the alley way, move. She thought about turning back to get him, but thought otherwise. After all, the more people know about her, the better off the girls in this area would be. However, something still nudged her insistently in the back of her mind. She didn't sense any ill intent from that presence.
