Chapter 18:

Things were going normal. Xion and veronica were progressing their levels, Xion was somehow becoming more and more powerful.

" How the hell did i get this good, Zephyr told me that my aptitude was mediocre at best in every element. How the hell i managed to catch up to veronica in such short time. Must be related with what alter xion said to me about my seals being released"

" Wow Darling, you are in same level as me yay!!"

Veronica was overjoyed with xion's progress. She believed him from the start. But in these days, here obsessing was also growing. One time a student tried to make fun of xion, she brutally hurt him, that student is in the infirmary now. Zephyr told it would take years to heal him. Since that, no one dared to mess with xion 

" Well it is time to go to academy, today we will learn more about ' Arcane power system"

As usual they went to that magic gem in the living room to get teleported directly to the classes.

Xion and veronica were sitting together as the benches were for two people anyways. Orion came in the class by teleporting 

"First of all, congratulations. You got used to mana fast than i initially thought. Some people reached the first tier of arcane system. It looks like even xion managed to reach the 1st tier, you guys should learn from him, his aptitude is even slower than all of you still, he is in tier 1 due to his hardwork"

" Hardwork, huh" Xion was laughing in his mind 

" Ok guys it's time i explain to you things. One of the main reasons you were teleported here is to fight a super dangerous cult, the void serpent. They are a vast cult, they exist everywhere be it this universe or above this universe. The arcane academy was created to fight the cult members of void serpent"

" From eons, we are recruiting people from other worlds to fight with this cult, every year we select people from other worlds from different universes ,multiverses to alphaverses. You will learn later about these 'verses' and 'realms'."

" That's all, if you have any questions, ask me"

" How are we going to fight them ?"

" Well tatsuya is it, you will get powerful with arcane system. Our magic academy is the most powerful academy out of any. You will realise how powerful you can get"

" Are you really recruiting from eons or is it exaggeration"

" No, is it truth. We live longer due to mana, for instance, you have reached tier 1, you can live 100000 years"

" What!!!, isn't that crazy"

" No, is it not crazy, that's why our arcane system is most powerful magic system of this realm"

" Enough about that for now, i have an announcement to make. In a week, you will fight people from cultivation school or they refer to as 'sect'. We have collaborated with that academy to strengthen you people. The students of that school will be beginners as you, so don't worry and give it your all"

" Ok sir" The students shouted in unison and the lecture went on as their routine

" Darling are you gonna use katana for fight"

" Yes, Why ?"

" Then i am gonna use the same" 

They decided what weapon should they use for the fight against other students. Veronica was even more clingy to xion, whenever they were in home or academy, she would stuck to xion like a glue

It was time of night, stars could be seen. Xion always loved night and stars, since childhood, he had loved night very much 

" Are you going to practice that move, Darling"

" Yes, i think i have enough power"

With just a thought, they teleported to space

" This is amazing, to think that i can become this powerful, i could roam space without any worries at least for now"

"Darling you are indeed more powerful than others, even me"

" Haha, honey, isn't it good thing for me" He held veronica's hand 

" Now i can protect you, at least i have power"

Both of them were in good mood, they shared a passionate and lovely kiss in the space, it was an ethereal feeling for both of them. They stayed in that position for some time, but then they figured out that xion had to practice his new move

" Honey, this move is called millimeter slash"

" What does it even mean Darling"

Xion couldn't say anything about alter to veronica, these days he learnt many things from alter, well they were his own memories after all. After just one talk with alter xion, he unlocked his real swordsman techniques, they were powerful as hell. They could cut stars, planets, even void with just one slash like hot knife through butter.

" It just means i am gonna cut them without them even realise it, neatly"

" Venozard, come out" 

A katana appeared in his hands. Venozard was the main sword of him, alter told him that this sword was also sealed. But as his seal was weakening, that sword became unsealed and came into xion's sea of consciousness. This sword was like a katana, a handle with black dragon patterns, a purple blade, it could transform into any weapon xion desires. And it had seals on its power, 1 million to be exact. One could understand how powerful this sword was.

" 1st seal release"

The katana started release crazy amounts of power, one would probably pee in their pants just by seeing this katana, it was just one seal released.

" In front of me there are 5 planets, 2 stars, 40 moons, lets see how this goes"

He unsheathed his katana and 

Slash!!

Nothing happened

" Lets see how much this takes"

After some seconds these planets, stars and moons were started to get crack from the middle and then they all were divided into half 

" Darling, Wow" Veronica jumped in xion's embrace, he caught her and then they both teleported to home

" Hmm, it lasted 5 seconds more then they showed signs of cutting. Thats progress, tomorrow ill try with more planets and stars"

It looked like xion was very satisfied with the results, he and veronica went to sleep after their space journey
