Chapter 188: Authority (-1)

[Royal Magic Academy, Training Ground]

Jai, Daoma and Asava were standing side by side observing the students of Royal Magic Academy before with dummies and casting spells.

The headmaster of the Academy, Lopar has invited them to observe the students and help them find ways to improve the quality of training and how to develop them faster with a stable foundation.

It's been thirty minutes since the match between Kai and Farbo has come to a disappointing end and currently both parties are discussing with each other about the future in presence of Yami and Elena.

Jai and Asava are still confused why Farbo gave up in the end.

"Master Daoma, Why do you think Farbo gave up so easily without a match as soon as Kai brought out his sword."

Daoma raised his eyebrows and without turning his head smiled.

"Farbo already had made a move before the match even started."

"Huh..???"

Jai and Asava looked at each other and then Daoma.

"That stick he had in his hand was used as a catalyst to create vines and they had already covered the entire training ground and could have any time binded Kai and limited his movements. They also have the special property of sucking the Ethereal/Ether/mana out of their target but as soon as Kai brought out his sword. Farbo became aware that his vines will not be able to stop Kai. So he gave up, Spirit magic users always have this characteristic. They only fight if they are full assure of their victory,"

"But, in future if you two ever encounter spirit magic users of saint stage and he is not giving up. Meaning, he had a high chance of success and in that case you have to find a way to hide. Saint stage spirit magic users have the ability to communicate with the spirit of the materialistic world also and can temporarily give consciousness to inanimate objects or even trees and stones around you. If Farbo was in a forest, he would not have given up and it would be Kai who would have been in trouble instead. He was only limited today due to his surroundings."

Jai and Asava grasped their breath on hearing that.

Daoma didn't say further and continued to observe the students with his keen eyes and make mental notes inside his mind.

[Guest Room, Western Palace]

Kai, Yami and Elena were sitting on the sofa with Farbo, Erina and Lina across them.

Laughing and talking with each other like a family member who we have met after many years.

When Yami heard that the Sect master of Shaman King Mountain Sect had come to meet them, he came running in a hurry, leaving his other jobs aside.

He is well aware that their ancestors and founding King is from the lineage of Shaman King Kabo and had detached themselves from the main lineage for ten thousand years. Through ancestor Oliver doesn't mind.

Yami was always worried about the matter of Shaman King Mountain and how to complete the long lasting dying wish of their ancestors to get rid of the dispute created by him and enter the ancestral hall of their ancestor.

So during the entire conversation Yami was very excited.

Kai doesn't care much about his lineage or his connection to shaman King Mountain.

Kira had already told him that the origin bloodline as a whole has no relationship with Shaman King Kobo.

Instead it will be the Shaman King bloodline which is a tiny part of his bloodline and he can discard if he wants to.

He only has respect for his great ancestors and their contribution to the condition and its people.

Since the time Farbo had seen him take out his spirit sword and give up the match. He can feel him glimpsing at him from time to time during his conversation with his grandfather and grandmother.

According to Farbo, even his grandfather and grandmother are younger generations and are very respectful to him and a little passive in their talk.

Erina and Lina were already observing Kai with curious eyes who was calmly sitting on the Sofa. But their mind was in Chaos like their grandfather.

When Kai took out his spirit sword, they also received the feedback from their bloodline.

A feeling of fear, respect, dominance and submission to Kai was generated from their bloodline, which proves that Kai's bloodline is superior compared to their bloodline. But, both of their bloodline rank is same as that of their ancestor Kabo, It's a secret which is only known to elders of the sect and great grandfather.

They were always proud of that and all of a sudden a person with potential to surpass their ancestors appeared before them.

They, who have come to teach a lesson to the branch family, suddenly found themselves in an awkward position.

Telling a higher rank bloodline member of a family to follow lower rank bloodline family members doesn't make sense. On top of that, he is king of a nation with superior forces and power.

Especially after meeting Sir Daoma, Asava and Jai.

According to their great grandfather. Sir Daoma and Jai cultivation surpassed his own while Sir Asava's cultivation depth is no less than his own. But they all follow the young king sitting before their eyes.

Kai only smiled in response to the two sisters.

Others will be happy to get attention from two rare beauties like Erina and Lina. Yet to Kai, it doesn't matter much and only treated them as distant unknown relatives, who he is meeting for the first time.

Finally after a long conversation between the two parties, Kai spoke out.

"Elder Farbo, what do you plan to do in the future. I know, you must already have received the news from Elder Oliver by now."

Hearing that Farbo suddenly paused during his conversation with Yami and a sad expression appeared on his face. Erina and Lina facial expressions also changed on hearing that. They have already gotten the news from the elders about the destruction of Shaman King Mountain in the future and they are still confused about what they should do.

Shaman King Mountain is not just some ordinary mountain for the Kourin family and the tribal groups of northern lands. It's a symbol of the faith and pride of northern lands for a million years and all of a sudden, they have been informed that it's going to just disappear on the immortal Day Festival. On the founding day of shaman King Mountain Sect.

When they left for Buraford Kingdom various tribes were preparing for the festival with smiling faces. They don't know how to face these people. Farbo even wanted to return back and address this matter as soon as possible but found that even if he returned back, he didn't have any solution to their problems.

"Do you guys know why did ancestor Kabo choose that mountain for the establishment of the sect one million years ago?"

Farbo, Erina and Lina nodded.

The reason he chooses that land was due to various factors. First no magic beast dare to go near that mountain. It's a known fact that only Shaman King Mountain stands between the forbidden forest and northern lands. If it didn't exist all of the northern lands would be ruled by magic beasts. In ancient times. It was the shaman King Mountain which acted as a line of defence for the human race and it was also due to his presence that they survived. The other reason was the natural concentration of spiritual essence, magic attributes stones and magic crystals mines around the mountain. Which contributed to faster cultivation and reason for prosperity of Shaman King Mountain Sect.

In recent ten thousand years, the concentration of spiritual essence is reducing day to day and in current times, it's no different from other parts of the continent.

Even the magic crystals mines and attributes stones have almost dried up after million years of extraction and with increase of mana in the atmosphere. The significance of mines have been reduced greatly for cultivation.

The only purpose it serves is to protect the northern lands tribes from the beasts tide and often the tribe will cross the boundary and hunt for magic beasts in surrounding areas for their skin, magic core and various rare plants in the region.

If Shaman King Mountain chases to exist. Magic beasts will also have nothing to hold them back and most probably, the northern lands will become home of magic beasts.

Seeing the expression of Farbo, Erina and Lina. He can already guess that they currently have no plans for the future and are still confused and sad about their present condition.

Kai smiled and took out the dagger given by Oliver before he left. He finally figured out why he had given this dagger to him.

Seeing the dagger, Farbo's expression also changed and he looked at Kai.

"This... dagger..., did ancestor...Oliver give this... dagger to you?"asked Farbo with panic.

Erina and Lina also looked at the ordinary dagger in Kai's hands.

Kai nodded.

"Elder Oliver gave it to me before I left the academy. You may already know what that means, right?"

Yami and Elena also noticed the change in the tone of voice of Farbo.

Suddenly Farbo stood up and bent down on his knees on the floor.

"Shaman King Farbo had seen the lord of the Kourin family. Please comment what this servant can do for you?"

All the people in the room were taken back and looked at Kai and the dagger in his hand.

Kai was also surprised, he didn't expect such reaction from the leader of the Shaman King sect Master.

While, Farbo waited for the order of Kai with a calm expression.

That dagger is not ordinary, it's the dagger of Shaman King Mountain Sect founder Kabo and symbol of authority in shaman King Mountain Sect.

It has been passed down from generation to generation and the holder of the dagger has many special authority, it also gives them the status of the head of the family directly.

For thousands of years, Elder Oliver had been the head of family while he is only the acting head of family.

Kai being the owner of the dagger directly means that he is now the clan head and he is his subordinate.
