"I know you're desperate to fight with your brother" Nazareth murmured after they returned to the academy and broke away to his private library with Cleon.
Cleon still looked irritated and dissatisfied.
"Alright, I am sometimes childish in personal competition" Nazareth said. "Special to Evelyn's problem, I won't budge."
Cleon snorted as he glanced at Nazareth.
"But for the academy competition I don't want to involve personal matters" Nazareth said straightforwardly. "Behold Cleon, I'm not hiding you for personal grudges!"
Cleon responded with a cynical smile.
"Try you think!" nazareth's advice. "If you appear in the preliminary round, Sloan will target you in the next round. And you probably don't have much of a chance."
Cleon blinked and frowned.
"You and Sloan have the same protective fairies" Nazareth explained. "And you're on the same level."
For the first time since they had spoken with four eyes, Cleon finally turned to Nazareth. Really looked at him!
"Technically, you guys might draw. But Sloan has the edge" Nazareth said.
Cleon stared into Nazareth's eyes with squinted eyes.
"Do I need to remind you that he was born first?" Nazareth lowered his voice in a sharp whisper. "Or do you want to wait until he reminds you himself? A sister, forever will remain a sister!"
Cleon blinked once more and opened his mouth. But not a word came out of his mouth.
"You have to break away from this mental block" Nazareth suggested. "That's why I said I'd give you special training."
Cleon gulped and bowed. His forehead creased back, thinking hard.
"You can satisfy your desire in the deciding round later" Nazareth said. "But the four chakras of tens of thousands of years are not enough to break this mental block. Especially considering the nature of the goliath. Possessive, pessimistic, insecure, grumbling, hiding and jealous. You will lose mentally if you rely only on strength and technique."
"So.." Cleon cleared his throat and raised his face, looking at Nazareth hesitantly. "I have to how?" he finally forgot his pride.
"You've learned about the spiritual chakras found in every inch of the human body?" ask Nazareth.
Cleon nodded.
"Did you know that mental blocks are closely related to science?"
Cleon frowned again. "Consciousness?"
"Yes," replied Nazareth. "You doubt my theory?"
"No! Of course not!" Cleon shook his head quickly. "While I sometimes doubt you," he confessed.
Nazareth smiled faintly. "Find out what makes you feel sorry for yourself the most" she suggests. "Do you think being the youngest son is so pathetic?"
Cleon fell silent with a bitter countenance.
"If life gives you a chance to choose, who would you be in your family?" ask Nazareth.
Cleon swallowed.
"Do you want to be Sloan?" ask Nazareth again.
Cleon bowed deeper and deeper.
Nazareth smiled understandably, then walked up to Cleon and placed his palm on the young man's shoulder. "That's what I mean by mental blocks" he whispered.
"I don't understand!" Cleon confessed.
"Who's the one who's always standing up for you when you're fighting with your brother?" ask Nazareth.
"My mother," Cleon answered raucously.
"Execuse me?" Cleon asked unsure.
"Kill your mother, Cleon!" reset Nazareth.
"Are you testing me?" Cleon raised his voice. Next to his eyebrows raised high.
Nazareth crossed his hands behind his body and puffed out his chest. "I am Earth Thunder," he said powerfully. "The head of the Order of Angelos ordered you to kill your mother!"
"But—"
"You are a Spiritual Master!" Nazareth warned. "Defying the mission of the Order of Angelos is a violation of the law!"
Cleon dropped himself on the floor, kneeling before Nazareth. His body trembled and warped with a dispirited attitude. But he tried to strengthen his heart while imagining whether he could kill his mother. But..no! he said in his heart. I can't kill my mother.
"You should have considered this from the beginning, Cleon!" hardik Nazareth's. "Being a Spiritual Master means devoting yourself to the Order of Angelos."
Cleon bowed helplessly.
"Take your mission, or get out of the Spiritual Master World?" Nazareth.
Cleon speaks a thousand languages. It's obviously a hard choice. Exiting the Spiritual Master World meant that there was no hope of reaching the top of the world, even to simply survive properly. It is tantamount to not having a certificate of education in other parts of the world - in modern times. But kill his mother.. Arrrrrgh! Cleon lamented in his heart.
"Behold, Cleon Jace!" Nazareth. "Your mother will still die even if you don't kill her."
Cleon clenched his hands, and landed them on the floor. "I, Cleon Jace, am on a mission!" he said full of determination.
Nazareth smiled faintly, then pulled a side of his hand and flicked a blue marble-sized ball of light towards Cleon. "Don't forget to absorb the chakras!" he commanded. Simultaneously, that ball of light as large as a marble struck Cleon's chest.
SLASHY!
Cleon bounced back with a light motion without sound as if being dragged by the wind. Then it froze in the air with the body loose unconscious, hanging from the ceiling without a rope.
Nazareth sent the young man to his subconscious.
Cleon should have guessed it when Nazareth brought up the chakra theory contained in every inch of the human body.
Cleon didn't notice. He believes the mission he is carrying out now as a reality.
This is good too! thought Nazareth. It will train his mentality. Then sat cross-legged on the floor and kept Cleon's body floating in midair and enveloped him with protective light energy to prevent any unexpected attacks that might come from outside.
Evelyn and her friends waited for them in the cottage grounds restlessly.
Migi Vox sat across Evelyn's shoulder with a bored expression.
Nyx Cornus looks a lot more bored. It is certain that the cause is because Xenephon is not with them.
"Why not try to take the time to practice with Vox?" Lady Die proposed.
"Oh, No! Please, not Vox!" lament Xena.
"At least, do something useful!" hardik Nyx Cornus with a horrible expression.
The children of their assets spontaneously poured into their respective huts and tried to meditate.
Evelyn brought Migi Vox into their room and meditated by letting the doll remain perched on her shoulder.
Migi Vox turned her head slightly to see what Evelyn was going to do, then grinned as the girl began to close her eyes. He crept down to Evelyn's chest and slipped into the storage necklace of Nazareth.
Evelyn did not notice!
A little while later, the storage gem gave off a blue, tendril-shaped glow that slowly enveloped Evelyn's body.
Evelyn frowned as a heatstroke ambushed her. He opened his eyes in a jolt and bowed to see what was wrapped around his body.
"What the—" Evelyn screeched in surprise and wriggled as the strange tendrils bound her tighter and tighter. The sensation of heat and cold stung him at the same time.
