Alex and the rest were all taken to a cell and told that they would be questioned later. The guards placed a talisman on Alex and sealed his cultivation prowess before leaving him there.
The cell that they were thrown into only had 3 beds that were barely enough to contain a person.
"Ungrateful cunts, even after all we did in the capital city," Drake muttered.
"The school does not concern itself with the problems of the world, it's a known rule," Adrian said.
"So even if we did good, it doesn't concern them. What matters is that we broke the rules of the academy and didn't follow orders during our mission in the Poduct village." Katherine added.
"Even still, we couldn't have left Camron to die," Emma stated.
"I'm not saying that what we did was wrong, if we had a chance to redo everything I'll still pick saving Camron, only the school feels otherwise."
Gustavo sighed and looked outside the windows, then he said. "From what I know of, students that refuse to follow orders from the academy during a mission, depending on the severity of their offense, the most they can do is lock us up for a few months, 7 or 8."
"For a few months? The Continental competition is closing in. If we are kept here for more than 3 months then it would pass us by." Drake complained.
"That's your problem, my problem is how we are going to sleep on the things for a few months." Emma placed her hand on one of the mattresses. "There are only 3 and we are 6, it's too small to share!"
"The only real offense we committed was not reporting to the academy after completing the mission and also staying outside the academy walls without authorization.
The mont the mission ended, we were supposed to co back." Alex spoke for the first ti since they were thrown into the cell.
Silence filled the cell after Alex finished speaking. He was right, those were the wrongs that they did.
But none of them regretted that decision so they had nothing to say about it.
-Growl!!
Drake's stomach growled. "Sealing our cultivation is going overboard. Without QI circulating in my body, I'm no different than a normal person." He rubbed his stomach as he spoke.
Drake wasn't the only one that was feeling hungry, with their cultivation sealed, their bodies needed the energy to function.
Alex sat down on the bed and closed his eyes, he wanted to assess the condition of his body after his cultivation had been sealed. When he began inspecting, he noticed that his ridians had been blocked by the power of the talisman, but weirdly, it looked like it was going to break at any point in ti.
"You guys, inspect your ridians and tell what you see," Alex said.
His teammates weren't sure of why he asked them to do so, but they were curious to find out why. So they all picked a place and sat down, closing their eyes almost at the sa ti. They started to inspect their ridians.
"My ridians all have inscriptions blocking them at almost every junction." Drake was the first to answer. "They look sturdy wait, did they seal our cultivations permanently?" He began feeling nervous.
"No, that's how it's ant to look. Mine has the sa restrictions as yours, however, if you look deeper you'll find out that your core is still with QI. So it's not permanent." Gustavo explained.
"Sa here for ," Adrian ntioned.
" too," Katherine said.
"Mine has cracks all over them. It looks as if the inscriptions from the talisman are about to break." Emma inford.
"What?!" Drake opened his eyes as he exclaid.
"How did you do that?" He questioned.
"After Gustavo said to look deeper, and I did, I started to circulate my QI slowly and the restrictions began cracking," Emma answered truthfully.
"Really?!" Everyone asked at the sa ti, including Alex.
"Y-yeah." Emma stuttered as she replied.
"Let try that." Drake sat down and started to circulate his QI too. "AHH!!!" Suddenly he shouted out in agony and his whole body started to shake.
"Emma, are you sure that that was all you did?" Drake struggled to ask as his body was shaking.
"Yes, I'm pretty sure."
"Emma's constitution is quite unique, maybe only works for her," Adrian stated.
"You should have said that before I made an attempt."
"Drake, if I had done that, who would have volunteered to try it first knowing that there might be so kind of danger behind it?"
"What about you Alex, what does yours look like?" Gustavo's curiosity prompted him to ask.
Alex looked at him for a few seconds, thinking of whether he should tell the truth or not.
['They already know that I possess a bloodline, so there's not much to hide from them.'] Alex thought.
"The restrictions are almost nonexistent, it as if they are fading with ti." He answered. Alex knew that this was not enough to satisfy the curious minds of his teammates so he continued. "I think it is because of my bloodline, it is destroying the talisman in as we speak."
"Oh, lucky you!!" Drake laid on the bed and sighed. "Can't you give bloodline powers? I an you are royalty, right?"
"I could, but the real question is if you would survive having my bloodline in you. It is not sothing anyone can just infuse into their system, if my bloodline thinks that you are not worthy of it then it will destroy your body from the inside. Maybe in the future, when you are stronger." Alex shrugged his shoulders at the end.
What he said made most of the shudder in fear.
Lex chuckled in Alex's mind.
['Technically it's not a lie, the dragon blood is not sothing that anyone can inherit.'] Alex said in his defense.
['I didn't say that it was a lie.'] Lex chuckled once more.
"What do you an by if your bloodline thinks that he's not worthy, does it have a mind of its own?" Katherine questioned.
"Not exactly, but you could say so."
"What type of pseudo-legendary being does your bloodline originate from?" Gustavo asked.
Pseudo-legendary bloodlines are class-3 ancient bloodlines that are on the verge of becoming a class-2 legendary bloodline. They are still class-3 bloodlines, but on a different level from other ancient bloodlines. It is why pseudo-legendary bloodline users are also considered to be royalty.
"I'll leave that for you guys to figure out." Alex refused to answer.
"C'mon, just tell us. You don't have to remain mysterious all the ti." Drake pressed on.
"What the hell do you know, he has to remain mysterious. The ladies love that." Katherine ntioned as she winked at Alex.
['So to make sure that a girl doesn't like all I have to do is to tell her all the secrets I have?'] Alex wondered. ['It's no wonder Nana treats anyhow, she already knows a lot.']
['This is why I don't like virgins.'] Al comnted.
['I don't think that analogy applies when Nana is included.'] Xander chipped in.
"I think it should be a chira, that's an ancient beast that is almost a legendary beast." Drake thought out loud.
"Alex uses both fire and lightning, which of the elents do you think he can use as a result of his bloodline?" Adrian uttered, making everyone think about it.
They started bringing different ideas and calling the nas of many beasts. This was just a way for them to push away their worries, it was a good distraction for them.
-Ping!
*System is detecting energy similar to the Midas petal.
The notification popped up in front of Alex and his eyes opened wide in surprise and joy.
He was about to ask the system where the energy was coming from but the system beat him to it.
*System is unable to pinpoint the location for now. This might take so ti to rectify. To increase the range of search, the user is advised to go to a higher location.
The system finished.
['Guys, the third petal.'] Alex thought.
['Who would have guessed that another one would appear here in the lower plain realm?'] Xander uttered.
['We have to find out where it is quickly and get it before those other chosen ones arrive in the lower plain realm.'] Lex added.
['To do that, you have to get out of this cell.'] Al interjected.
['Should I summon Nana with the talisman she gave to ?'] Alex wondered.
['No, even if she cos, I don't think Mr. Guardian is going to let her tag along regardless of her status to you. Save it for when you are in danger.'] Lex dismissed the idea.
-Chink!!
The sound of keys dangling interrupted the argunt they were having in the cell. A guard appeared in front of their cell and said, "It's ti to for questioning, buckle up kids. The final judgnt on what your punishnt would be will be made after this." The guard said as he opened the cell
