Chapter 61 Majestic Lucis

Lucis laying on his lazy chair on the balcony second floor enjoying the sun that start melting the snow. The end of the year almost here and soon the villager will be busy again with their farm.

"master, there's someone want to see you." Suyi said while pouring ice tea for him. Ice tea is his favorite recently.

"oh, elder Dun?" Lucis asked lazily, he's been laying around in the mansion these couple if days without doing anything. The News about the red sea doesn't really poke his interest and it's still couple of months before they can go there.

"he said his name Nanji. Boris daughter is with him too."

"that chatter box?!" Lucis raise his head with surprised looking at Suyi.

"I though she's avoiding me. Last time I saw her, she's acting like a stranger." Lucis frown and rub his chin.

"would you like to meet them?"

"Sure why not, we're all in one village we should be nice to each other." Lucis stand up and rub his hand in top of Suyi head. She's behaving so well lately that Lucis always in a good mood, even Muzin now visiting a lot more frequently for her ice tea and lazing around.

Lucis went to the living room while Suyi brought Nanji and Kuji inside.

Nanji completely composed and following Suyi from behind quietly and politely. He feel nervous being around Suyi while Kuji is a bit wild, she look around and always making a pit stop with curiosity.

"Suyi what is this?" Kuji asked pointing her finger at the garbage bin made of black metal with modern design, with just stepped at the pedal at the bottom of it, the lid with open up.

"That's a place for garbage." Suyi answer her calmly. She's actually pretty close to Kuji previously after she followed her a couple times hunting wild animal. sadly, she doesn't have a talent for hunting but she still learned how to survive in the forest at least.

"what is this pole for?" Kuji asked again at the unnecessary expensive looking pole Lucis added in the hallway.

"i don't know." Suyi said and that's the truth.

"Suyi, where did you buy this clothes?" Kuji tug Suyi blue robe that look expensive with some phoenix embroidery on it.

"Lucis gave me."

Nanji frown and shake his head at Kuji behavior, how can she always have something to ask about? What is she even doing here in the first place? Hang out with Suyi?

When they arrived at the living room, Kuji and Nanji suddenly frozed looking at Lucis back standing straight with his hand behind his back and there's this strange wind blowing about his hair and his black jacket making him look like a celestial being. There's even some orb light flying around his body.

Even Suyi was stunned and stare at Lucis with complicated expression. What is he up to now? She thought and feel like a headache coming soon.

"Mortal!" Lucis said as he start floating and slowly turn around facing Kuji and Nanji. "I praise you to come this far!" Lucis eyes suddenly glowing golden light further impressed Nanji, he never saw someone this majestic during all his time in the clan.

"Sit... mortal!" Lucis said and his voice is vibrating throughout the living room.

Nanji and Kuji completely in a daze that they just stand there staring at Lucis floating about with his light orb.

"Tell me mortals, for what purpose you have made your journey he-" Suddenly, the door behind Kuji and Suyi open.

"Brother, do you still have that bull meat from yesterday?" Muzin casually walk in the living room with some white bottle in his hand looking excited.

Kuji and Nanji quickly wake up from their daze and look at Muzin.

"Mortal! I already ate everything last night!" Lucis said with a threatening voice that vibrating the whole room. The book and the tea pot on the table start falling off like there's an earthquake.

Suyi slap her face and shake his head looking at Lucis. He always have something new to do that completely useless and waste of time.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Energy deviation?" Muzin asked then he throw his devine sense into him examine the energy wave around his body.

"im fine, you guys is so lame, can't read the mood." Lucis said casually and all the majestic aura completely disappeared. Kuji and Nanji was baffled by Lucis.

Lucis sit in the couch and his lazy expression slowly returning back on him.

Kuji squint her eyes examining Lucis then she finally realized what Lucis just did, he was just being silly and playing around. She instantly feel glad and all her fear toward him completely disappeared.

"you are?" Lucis look at Nanji.

"greeting!" Nanji walk forward, straight his back and bow at Lucis. "my name is Nanji, son of Baji."

"And I'm Kuji the greatest, amazing and the best female hunter in the world." Kuji puff her flat chest and raise her head with proud expression.

"Sure you are." Lucis nod without much of change in his expression. he's getting lazy with every second.

"look brother Muzin, Suyi, we have the best hunter in the world here. What an honor."

Muzin didn't say anything and just sit down beside Lucis making himself comfortable the Lucis way, which is just being lazy and sit like a boss.

"right right." Kuji mood further lifted that she start feeling like she's the center of the attention.

"what do you want to talk with Lucis?" Suyi asked quickly before Lucis and Kuji extended their stupid conversation.

"its.. I was wondering if I can learn under master Lucis." Nanji asked as a cold sweat slowly appear on his forehead.

"learn, you meant cultivating?" Muzin frowned.

"ye.. yeah." Nanji quickly composed himself trying to hide the weak appearance.

"give me your hand." Muzin asked as he examine Nanji body build and nod, he's satisfied with his outer energy.

Nanji didn't say much and quickly shove his hand forward. This is what the elder in his previous clan usually did when they're checking their disciple.

Lucis didn't say anything and just watching quietly. He realized that he actually not qualified enough to teach or evaluating any disciple candidate after the Suyi incident.

The whole room went quite and all eyes focus on Muzin.

"have you manage to sense the world energy yet?" Muzin asked and pull back his hand calmly. For once, he's acting his age and made Lucis impressed at him.

"i... not yet." Nanji look down dejectedly and his voice full of disappointment. He have heard this question more than he can count and every time this question is asked, his answer is always the same.

Muzin shake his head and take a sip of the ice tea Suyi serve calmly. From the density of his bone, Muzin can roughly guess Nanji age about 20 to 25 and that's age is too old to start cultivating. His body already mature enough and he still can't gather energy meaning that his body no longer can grow to be able to accept world energy.

Nanji look down with unwilling expression. The clan he join previously is the closest he even been with his dream and the fact that he's too old is already known to him but he just can't accept it. After the chance just appear in front of him again, the reality slap him back awake.

Everyone went quite and understood the meaning of Muzin shaking his head. They just look at Nanji with pity and sympathy.

"Holy damn! Look at those body. How many people have you kill?" Lucis slap his thigh impressed by the manly scar across Nanji body.

Suyi glare at Lucis for not reading the mood. Can he act mature for once? Even Muzin let a small cough awkwardly feeling sympathy against Nanji.

"right? Look, this is definitely left by a spear." Kuji said as she point at the deep scar on Nanji left arm.

"nah, that one is saber. Look." Lucis said as he touch the scar on Nanji arm. "this part is bigger than the other end, only saber have that one side blade." Lucis added making the sad Nanji feel really awkward.

Kuji quickly nod with agreement. She's not sword user and Lucis actually the real expert compare to her so she completely believe him.

Suyi put her palm on her face feeling embarrassed by his master.

"Okay let's put that aside." Lucis paused and sit back on the couch. "im not good at teaching other people so you should pick this dude or another dude that's not here at the moment as your master."

Nanji eyes suddenly lit up like he just have been healed from rare disease.

Muzin suddenly remembered how Lucis lack a lot of knowledge about cultivation even though he have the highest energy and realm among them.

"Brother, I'm sorry for my blunder but he no longer have any hope to become cultivator." Muzin quickly talk some sense to Lucis before he put more impossible hope on Nanji.

"i know, because he's too old to start cultivating now." Lucis wave his hand and look at Nanji.

'if you know why did you said something like that? Our clan is useless if the disciple we have only mortal.' Muzin really want to say it out loud but there's just too many junior presence.

"Have you ever wonder how I made Suyi a cultivator like us?" Lucis smile.

Suyi frown and recalling the first time she start feeling the world energy.

"He can't sense but what if he help him?" Lucis smile looking at Muzin. This ignorant, he thought.

"sensing and being able to absorb is different. His body already stop growing to be able taking in energy, if you force it that would kill him instead." Muzin raise his voice.

Nanji feel like he's getting slap on his face again when Muzin mentioned it. His heart just getting excited a bit and it died down as quickly.
