Unexpected Encounter

It took Kaida many days to figure out she had reached the peak of the first realm. It didn't give a boost so it's something she didn't notice from the miniscule difference. She'd need to reach an even higher realm to see a growth in her abilities.

But now she was stuck at the peak of the first realm. She knew she had to do some sort of fighting but she didn't desire to hurt the creatures of this world. Humans she found the most intelligent of now to be the best.

She found no need to go ahead and begin right now it would be too hasty. though the sound of creatures which were human. like a howling of the wolf but it's growl sounding guttural and harsh.

{"I shouldn't be here right now, I'd rather not get into a fight yet."}

Kaida would've jumped up to leave, a shockwave which sent her flying into the air. her body moving fast and the wind moved with her direction.

A controlled movement through the sky like she was the wind itself. The slow movement downwards finally stopped as she landed onto old granite. She stared at the surroundings, Her movement slow, she eased her way into the environment. Yet her body convulsed, the intense amount of Mana and use of it to cultivate so made her body unable to adjust to it.

"ACK!- Oh- Hhrk—Ghhkk!"

The sound of a strained and choking voice came out as the crimson liquid sprang out. among the blood was a vicious and heavy liquid which covered like splotches over the blood. A pitch black color which looked like tar.

"...I'm never trying-"

She coughed a little, getting up she stared at the blood and splotches of black, though it was silky it was also heavy. Kaida didn't seem to mind it much. Her body moved but she decided to never try another method then the one which Osami told her about. she didn't know what else could've happened.

"As long as that leaves my body I'll be happy- But I'm not doing that again."

The sound of rumbling, as if the planet shook, a darkness shrouded the area making it inaccessible. Kaida looked upon it, though she knew no way to enter the ruined area. It looked close to a temple but also combined with a pyramid. holding the tomb of a dead person she decided not to enter, it wouldn't be wise to interfere in one's rest.

"I guess i'll have to look elsewhere."

She turned away from the barrier walking the other direction, a calm breeze set in. She felt calm- Kaida didn't feel too off about her vomiting, she saw her mistake and she wouldn't do that again. Moving fast she reached through the forests. The speed of the winds surpassed previous records as it pushed her across the floor. Though no marking visible from her feet the sound was there.

Kaida stopped looking ahead and seeing the same snobby like Royal again trying to stop her. She moved her head down while stopping so she didn't crash into him. By her face he could see she wasn't pleased to meet him again. It was agitating.

"What do you need?"

Her voice rang like a melody, almost hypnotic, delicate and silky.

"Uhm- I've been trying to find you because you haven't followed the rules of listening to me. You have to face punishment."

Kaida was less than amused by his attempt at play and use of authority. But she went with it even when he didn't sound confident.

"And on what grounds do I need to punishment? I listened to you and left that Mountain or whatever."

"That still doesn't mean you weren't there for a while, that was trespassing-"

"VAIRO!!!" A loud scream from far away came as the boy looked startled, he turned towards the noise as another guy. One who looked about the age of his twenties. Kaida only looked at them while Vairo, who was the kid, tried explaining what he was doing.

"B-Brother wait I'm-"

"No buts, you were harassing this lady weren't you?"

"I-I-I Wasn't!" He looked like he was on the verge of tears waiting for his brother to start yelling. Who at this point looked like a tomato.

Both of them reminded Kaida of children arguing. from this standpoint it looked like an older sibling scolding their younger brother. Kaida would've waited for them to finish. It only annoyed her that their bickering was still continuing after a solid ten minutes.

"Will both of you stop?"

Shouting, Vairo spoke louder to Kaida only to get hit in the head "AND WHO ARE YOU TO DECI-"

Kaida would've slapped the back of his head as he shouted, there was no reason to do that and it was in the heat of the moment. Him shouting would be normal if he got told to be quiet when arguing.

"I'll be going alright? He wasn't harassing me, he was at most irritating. Is that enough?"

"I don't need input from a lady like you."

"If you don't need my input you don't need me as an excuse to punish your brother."

He stopped for a second before trying to object to what I said, though all that came out was stuttering. She didn't look back and jumped up to go only to get grabbed by him.

"What is I-"

She spoke irritated by what he was doing only to get thrown into a mountain by him as Vairo looked over in shock. This wasn't something he did, Kaida assumed it was whenever he got pissed off.

She got up from the crater in the wall, though it was small it still caused damage from the force and speed she went at. Kaida wasn't given time to react but she didn't need something like that. A motion of a ball spinning with a blade like wind around it. It spun around going right towards her, and if she didn't react She'd get cut in half.

In a swift motion Kaida moved under it heading right to him. She stopped herself and slowed down going for a sweeping leg kick. In a spinning motion she reached a full spin. She was able to kick him in the head while he was falling which sent him flying. Using the wind pressure of her kick she channeled it through her body.

Moving fast in a flying motion, Kaida went to send a slash of mana which cut the air, but before she could he'd grab her head. His knee hit her in the face which caused some damage with her stopping unable to do her previous attack.

He regained balance landing on the ground and spinning to kick her right in the head full force. Her hand moved to block the insane damage he'd do but her arm still had one of its bones crack. The recovery time would be longer than some minor cuts or injuries she's gotten before.

"Ah- That hurts..."

Her lack of reaction from his attack was alarming, she did say she got hurt, it was involuntary. Yet her face showed little to no reaction, at most a pinch. She moved and punched right in the torso, her punch leading into a shockwave. The release of all the energy she'd stored during the fight. After all she had abilities which weren't the basics humans had. The force was enough to send him into the same mountain she got sent to.

She waited for a few seconds before seeing him completely out cold. Kaida looked over at Vairo with an irritated expression still. This entire fighting thing wasn't for her but if she wanted to get to where she wanted to be she would need to.

"H-How did you do that punch!?"

"Long story, I have the ability to build up potential energy inside parts of my body. Then release it as kinetic energy with an insane amount of force as a short explanation."

Kaida had no reason to explain it, but she didn't find it harmful to tell Vairo something like this. It wasn't that much to her since she had a lot more where that comes from. Kaida waved bye with a smile launching herself away. She didn't want to continue the awkward stare they gave at each other. She also had a lot of other things she wanted to do here.

{"Vairo.... He's special, he's looked down on by his siblings I can see that, but he holds potential."}

Kaida thought of him becoming the next ruler, she didn't know how the Current one acted, but it seemed she's strict. With how they act when it comes to rules and their attitudes to those who break the rules. She knew the ruler wouldn't be corrupt. Landing on the ground in the middle of the street she was in some other city or something similar.

The streets looked empty, at least somewhat, the place didn't look as good compared to the Capital. But it didn't look like it was completely empty and covered in dirt, it looked suspicious. The people looked at her with a deadpan expression, yet their eyes were cold and narrowed. She knew they weren't welcoming here, Though Kaida only reciprocated.

They murmured among each other, asking who she was, she didn't look to be from here. Kaida would've ignored it. She walked the streets though empty yet still somewhat lively. The stains of old blood, it was on the ground, like years had passed from it being there. She stopped moving as she noticed people in the corner of her eye, they followed her blending in. Behind them was what looked like a priest, though it could be someone who's helping them.

"Woah! Watch where you're going." A rough masculine voice, somewhat a mix between Germanic and Japanese spoke.

"Ah, I apologize, I wasn't looking ahead while walking."

She would've ignored it. but She felt it would've made this worse and Kaida wasn't going to risk something like that happening. she would've sighed bowing before moving away, the bow was a form of apology. Kaida didn't want to converse any longer. She thought of the fastest way to leave the conversation.

[Cultivation System Activated]

{"Again!? Jesus I'm going to stab someone if this doesn't go away."}

[Please fill in information]

{"Huh- This one sounds a lot more robotic, Ah- this must be for everyone here then."}

Kaida filled her information in. leaving discrepancies of information, some which didn't match up with her actual self. Kaida let it process as she continued moving. Ignoring the system's message until it reopened to show her it was complete. The people were still following her but she paid no mind. She still kept her guard up but she wasn't over cautious about them.

Their movements became more rushed, they looked frantic trying to find someone. They looked through the crowd for anyone, but it looked like they wanted a specific type of person. Kaida fit the description for them, after all they had to be beautiful and worth at least a bit of... Money.

Kaida looked over, their actions though now inconspicuous were more thirsty than anything. when they were looking around. But now they've turned their expression back into the uncaring one which people have here.

"Young lady, are you new here?"

A voice in front of Kaida spoke, it was another priest, his black hair reached his neck and his clothing was tidy. His modest appearance spoke for him being a figure which was religious. She was about to respond but her body sensed something off, she could feel sudden changes in the ground. She's connected to the planet, so even the smallest changes were visible to her, it was second nature to her. She could suppress it to a level which was manageable but still enough that she'd have time to react.

A blade went flying towards her head, she turned to grasp it and threw it back from the direction it came from. The maximum amount of power she could use got thrown as she hit the person throwing it blasting their head off. The throw was powerful enough to the point they no longer had a head, falling down from the building they were on.

"Silly girl!"

A gas released into the air as she tried holding her breathe in, but it wasn't active from breathe, it activated...-
