THE SHADOW HAS A BULLY …. BULEE

THE SHADOW HAS A BULLY …. BULEE

My Upheaval of Greater Chaos could affect almost all templars below the rank of Legendary. After I discovered how to temper and control the chaos, I could control to a certain degree how chaos affects those flying in the air.

I made all my subjects suspended in the air without flying around chaotically and crashing on each other.

"Stay still. This guy's gravity magic is strong", the guy beside Ivior told him as he placed his hand on him to support him.

My control over my chaos magic did not betray me. To the untrained eye, my magic seemed like a kind of 'Gravity' magic like how my friend, Anitor conjures.

"Who are you? Why did you attack us?" Conjurer Ivior shouted to me again.

"Are you deaf? I am your Bully", I replied to Ivior again.

There were three people standing beside Ivior that were unaffected by my upheaval magic. These were probably the guests that he courteously courted and brought here to the Pleasure Court for entertainment.

My target was now narrowed down to these three.

"Who are you? How can you summon gravity magic this strong?" one of Ivior's guests asked me angrily.

"I am one of the Shadows", I replied to him simply.

"It is about bloody time you came", another guest told me.

[Before going to the Pleasure Court]

"Are you looking for Conjurer Ivior? Who are you?", I said to the guy who came looking for Ivior in Heaven's Diner and asked.

"I am one of the Shadows", he replied to me simply and without much caution.

I took him outside to a quiet garden courtyard in order not to disturb the guests.

"Aren't we having a meal? I am starving", the guy said to me.

"They are not here yet. I am the first to arrive here", I replied to him.

"I am Bikuta, who are you?" Bikuta asked me.

"I am Yaw Bulee", I replied to him.

"It's good to meet you, Yaw Bulee. This is the first time I came down from the mountain hideout after I started my shadow training", Bikuta said to me.

"Are you a Shadow Conjurer?" I asked Bikuta.

"Of course, I am. Aren't we all Shadow Conjurers?" Bikuta asked me suspiciously.

"Oh, I just want to make sure. We've not met before. I don't want to receive the wrong person", I replied to him.

"Yes, it is wise to be careful. This world is full of bad people", Bikuta told me.

"Bad people? Who are they?" I asked him.

"The evil Conjurer Court of course. They are jealous of our mystery training techniques and banned our elders from the Conjurer Court", Bikuta told me.

"Did you come with your friends?" I asked him as I brought him to an annex building before serving him some food.

Bikuta has never been to the city and from his appearance, he wasn't close to modern civilization. He also loved the food there. Sharing a good meal together was one of the greatest ways to get to know each other.

"Initially, there were many of us in our group, but I am the only one remaining", Bikuta told me.

"Where did the rest go?" I asked him.

"They died of course. I killed them in order to graduate from our team," Bikuta told me innocently to my shock and surprise.

"Your training requires you to kill your team?" I asked Bikuta.

"Don't you have the same training as us? All our teams are trained from the beginning to be the best and in the end only the best among us will survive and graduate from our training", Bikuta explained to me.

"My training is a little different from yours", I replied to him.

"Yes, every Shadow Conjurer's training varies depending on the supervising elder", Bikuta told me.

"Where is your supervising elder?" I asked him.

"Elder Tsianka, he was killed by the bad bounty hunters from the Conjurer Court. Before he died, he asked me to come here to Tarah city to meet Conjurer Ivior in the Heaven's Diner and he gave me a token", Bikuta told me as he passed a token of the Shadow Conjurers to me.

"That is unfortunate. Nobody will recognize you in the sect if your elder died", I said to him.

"Yes, since I was a child, the only person I met was my elder and the other children in the team that I killed, he is the only one I know", he told me.

"Why must you kill the other children?" I asked him.

"I don't want to initially but that is the way of our training. They call it training by elimination. If we don't fight, we don't get food and training resources. Only the best survives in the end", Bikuta told me.

"So, that is your mystery training?" I asked him.

"Yes, that is a part of our training", Bikuta told me before he added, "It's so good to meet another Shadow Conjurer that I don't have to kill", Bikuta replied to me.

"I still believe it is cruel to kill your only friends in order to graduate", I told him.

Bikuta's eyes became teary before he replied to me, "That is the way of life. We are all orphans who will die on the streets anyway if the elders did not recruit us", Bikuta told me.

The Shadow Conjurers have a wicked way of training young conjurers.

They recruited talented children from the poor and desolate and forced them to train in a difficult and violent environment. It was survival of the fittest for these trainees, literally.

"Why haven't Ivior come to see us?" Bikuta asked me.

"Perhaps he doesn't have our name. Does Conjurer Ivior have your name or any way to recognize you?", I replied to him and asked.

"We usually don't have names in our team. There is no need for remembering the names of those we will soon kill. They won't know my real name is Bikuta although they will recognize my token", Bikuta explained to me.

Suddenly, golden chains fell on Bikuta to capture his neck, ankles and wrists.

"Golden Chains of Greed and Restrains"
