327 Into The Elemental Blade

"Meow!"

"Hmmm, what was that…?" the green haired representative questioned as he was a bit surprised by the sudden sound.

It did make sense that he would get surprised, after all, we were still in the middle of the air, riding on the back of the cross-breed Roc, so hearing Light's cute meow would naturally prompt one to wonder.

'Thank god he woke up normally this time…'

Taking out light from the small side bag of mine, I started caressing his soft fur as he closed and opened his eyes a few times, he still wasn't fully awake…

He had slept once more after we went back to the 'Hotel'. I had originally wished to sleep along with him, but knowing that I was going to faint and lose most of my control in this sleep, I could only let him sleep in the cotton filled bag.

Naturally, I was quite relieved that he woke up only after two days of sleep this time, after all, while I could somehow guess that he shouldn't take long naps anymore, I wasn't completely sure till now.

"It's nothing really, just a little kitten that I picked up recently," I naturally didn't plan to hide Light's presence anymore, I was going to spend a good amount of time in the 'Elemental Blade Sect' and pretending he doesn't exist would be almost impossible.

Besides, even though Light was one the most special beasts I had met that was almost comparable with a dragon in its child state, that wasn't really apparent to the naked eye, so as long as he only acted like he usually does, like a small little cute kitten, then his presence shouldn't cause a problem anymore.

"Oh, it's ok then, just make sure you hold it tight so that it won't fly away. We are landing soon and the wind isolation will be semi-disabled so you have to be careful." The representative's expression softened once he saw Light as he warned me to take care.

Screeee! Flap. Flap. Flap…

I made sure to keep the bag which Light returned into, deep in my embrace as the Roc started to descend from the high sky, our destination started to reveal itself, we had finally reached the 'Elemental Blade Sect'!

A whole vast land filled with buildings and constructions, being twice or even thrice as big as battle city was, the thing that gave out the sect's identity was the gigantic buildings that had a distinct design and color, being situated at certain position and the huge tower that stood tall at the centre of all of this, as a majestic nest could be spotted at its summit.

Screeee!

As the Roc finally landed in front of what seemed to be the sect's gate, I fully realized the convenience of having this 'Roc' as our ride, it's normal flying speed that didn't rely on the help of elements was at least double my normal speed, almost reaching the speed of sound!

Sliding down the Roc's comfy feather, we got down from the large back of the Roc one by one as the gate started to split open...

"Open the gates! The annual meeting's recruits have arrived!"

Screeeeee!

The Roc gave one last cry before shooting up into the sky as it seemed to be heading towards the nest at the top of the central tower.

"Master Wind!" The person who has opened the gate from the inside bowed slightly towards the green haired representative as he said.

"Mhm, I brought the winners and new recruits with me, you can rest now," the representative said gently before he started heading in along the two other sect members as he gestured for me and Clara to follow him.

What waited for us behind the gate was a readied carriage that seemed to be led by some sort of a big earth lizard which all five of us moved into, as the rider moved the reins and we started moving…

As we silently traveled through the inside of the sect, I observed the members as they moved around, trying to understand how things worked here… but then again, I wasn't really that curious, I was simply killing time as the whole group has remained silent through the whole journey.

Thankfully, the carriage started slowing down after we had only moved by about 15 minutes as it stopped in front of one of the big main buildings which was colored in a mix of azure and green.

"Alright, let's get inside we have a lot to discuss," the representative went off the carriage as me and Clara followed him before the carriage started moving again, carrying the other two participants.

'If I'm not wrong this is…'

As we went into the building, I couldn't stop myself from making guesses about this place as I remembered the way that guard called the representative.

'This should be the Wind Pavillion…'

Having already been told about the main 'houses' in the 'Elemental Blade Sect' by the Green Earth Village's chief, I could more or less take a guess.

The representative, or the master of the Wind Pavillion to be exact, went ahead and guided us into a small sized meeting room on the first floor where we all sat down, it was finally time to get down to business.

"Now that we are finally home, we can discuss the details of your membership as a part of our Elemental Blade, let's start with No.6 here, your name is Clara, right? They call me Wind by the way," Wind said a few seconds after he sat down as if he wanted to get to the point without wasting any time.

It would have felt a bit wrong to talk immediately after having gone through a long and tough trip and finally reaching our destination, but thanks to the Roc's help, we didn't face the normal hardships of a long ride, as it felt like we just went out for a quick walk, so Wind's quick actions didn't seem like they were out of place...
