Technique

At noon Zeph and Sauren went to area where common Library hosted by all academies together was situated.It was strictly monitored by the securities and guards of academy as it is foundation block of academy.

Various techniques and skills present here are most valuable thing in whole Sokken city.This wealth is accumulated bit by bit by ancestors for betterment of students reading in academies .

As Zeph and Sauren went to area they were astounded with huge amount of warriors protecting the area.

They were soon stopped at entrance of area asking reason for their arrival.After confirming them to be winner of competition,they were sent to library building.It was huge building with many floors and entrance were guarded by high level warrior.Sauren was stopped here as only Zeph was allowded to go inside.

Inside of library was filled with books of various kinds all over library shelf.Zeph quietly made to librarian s table and found a old woman dozing off by holding book in her hand .

Zeph was soon conflicted whether to wake her from sleep or not but soon decided it was best to follow guide to avoid any mistake.He knocked at table and politely called

,"Grandma.....hey Grandma...wake up "he was quite gentle with her as he was reminded of his own grandfather sleeping in veranda.

Librarian Grandma soon opened her eyes and saw young man waking her up

.She smiled gently and said,"yes child what do you need?sorry I fell asleep reading a book.You had to wait for while."

"Yes , Grandma I am third ranker from competition and was instructed to learn one technique from library.can you help me find suitable technique."

"hmmm....only one if I remember right they used to give more techniques earlier but let's not dwell on it.What kind of element you resonate with most?"

"Grandma I'm lightning user."demonstrated Zeph as he made lightning release from his hand.A white lightning cloak glove formed at his hand .

"Lightning.... that too white, rare child, it is rare.

Come with me I will take you to shelf where lightning technique are stored ."

she slowly walked toward a wall on one side of library.Zeph followed behind her.She pressed her hand on wall .A water stream originating from her hand and moved over wall and got absorbed in it.

Wall slid over to reveal bookcase with wooden plate fixed on top of it reading Lightning techniques (secret).

"These libraries were build for distributing and preserving techniques and skills to the students of academy as well as other young warriors over world.So to bring forward deserving warriors competition were held to give them techniques and Skill.

Competetion was solely organised for purpose of finding young warriors but now due to false pride and corruption increasing in authorities they limited the technique given to winner as prize to prevent circulation of these techniques.

They made these libraries their private properties and soon forgot real purpose of its construction.I can't change rules but I can help you to take technique from this group of rare techniques."

"That is too much Grandma,what if authorities got wind of this that you allowed outsider to take secret manuales of library instead of common ones"

"Don't worry child .This library follows rules of this Grandma from long time ago .You can choose at your leisure."she said while smiling kindly towards Zeph.

He moved his hand toward shelf to chose technique but was soon disappointed to find that out of four shelves three were for red, yellow,blue lightning.

Only last shelf is for all other lightnings.

He began to read titles of thin books one by one .

Thunder storm,

Thunder bird manifestation,

lightning blade,

triple eye lightning,

Divine punishment ,

Judgement chains

and Final order.

He read their descriptions on cover of their books.He found almost all of them tempting but he knew he could only chose one .He atlast selected three techniques to chose from which meets his requirements of his body and strength type.

Triple eye lightning can be used to create halo of third eye which will release lightning to destroy all illusions,black energy constructs and can paralyze opponent for time with respect to their strengths.

Divine punishment releases thunder pillars from above heaven to ground causing large AOE damage and can also be used to concentrate all pillars to form one large pillar to strike at single target.

Final order is ultimate technique which can be par at skill power , preferably used by black lightning.For other lightnings it can be much harder to learn .On usage, bolt of divine lightning will fall from sky with power of locking on target and causing target to fill with dread,illusion and suppression.

Zeph liked the Final order very much but knew that he needed AOE technique as he lacks the same.Moreover he has white lightning which may result in him unable to learn that technique.Rather than taking blind guess it is very best to take much needed skill.

He took out Divine punishment out of shelf and gave it to grandma .She took it and opened seal of technique from it.

Zeph quickly skimmed through technique to learn all of it quickly but was surprised at amazing detail book provided .He soon learned method of channeling energy and chants of technique and by confirming he has learned all he placed it back on shelf."

Zeph and grandmother came back to entrance where he bid farewell to her and went away with Sauren to his inn room.Entrance guardian of library was astonished to see librarian bidding good bye to young man.He quickly went on his knees to respect Librarians.she didn't even pay attention to guard and went back to her table to doze off.All of this time guard remained on his knees.

His back was filled with cold sweat.

She was the most powerful lady in whole of Sokken city but chose to seal

herself away from eyes of public.She seldom rise from her nap and even if waking her up was most senior member of academy, she didn't give her any face and never wake up from her nap.

But today someone of zero insignificance from younger generation managed to make her come and bid goodbye to him.
