Chapter 312 - 312. Leaving the ones you loved, or not?

Kendra stood on the cloud that floated over the found and next to her Isaa and Sarah. She could see Aella in the crowd winking at her so she just gave a quick smile and then became serious.

''I realized something outside and am planning to make it big. The village under our feet can become testing ground for everyone. There are many people that would maybe like to get tested but don't want to join our sect. We can let them pay with spirit stones or rare materials and herbs. Like that no one will feel pressured to join our place.'' She calmly looked at a few faces that hid their eyes. 

Isaa nodded. ''We will give certificates to everyone who wants to join the other sects and let you go. This sect does like to have more cultivators joining, but only if that is your own personal wish. Those that want to leave, please do not fret, we won't get angry or something. You will get a certificate of power and you can go right away.''

They could see few cultivators rising reluctantly a hand and Kendra snapped her fingers. They appeared in front fo crowd with all their belongings on ground and without sects robe. As they all had clothes under the robe it was not a big deal but they still rushed to wear normal clothes.

All of them were from rich families and had space jewellery on them so their stuff just disappeared and they looked at Kendra with expectation.

She smiled at them. ''Ar you sure you want to leave our sect. Once you are outside, you will be banned from our ground and won't ever be able to enter it, not even the village will you be able to enter.''

They nodded but suddenly crying could be heard in silence. She looked at young woman that stared with resentment at one of the young men. ''Aria, what is going on?''

Aria came forward and pointed with the finger at him. ''He actually promised to be with me until eternity, but now suddenly he changes his mind and wants to leave. What is that making me look like?''

The young man rolled his eyes. ''I will be back for you when I establish my position in warriors guild.''

She stopped crying and started laughing while tears dropped from her eyes. ''You idiot! The moment you leave we won't be together for a long time. Why? Because I will belong to Grounding Fairy Sect until end of my existence. I like it here and I think wat of our cultivation is amazing. Taking me where? Warrior Guild? What should I do there? Why should I leave the place I like to be somewhere I do not feel comfortable? Tell me?''

The young man stepped forward and smiled at her. ''But you can be with me...''

Kendra and Isaa rolled their eyes while many woman felt going the same, but no one commented.

Aria poked his head. ''Then stay here. I do not wish to go there. I don't want to leave the place I feel comfortable. You do not feel comfortable here as well, right? But you are asking me to go somewhere I won't feel comfortable.''

He couldn't understand her logic. ''But you said you want to stay with me forever. And I accepted it. After you chased after me for so long you can't even handle this bit?''

''This bit? Yes. I did my best to show you how much I care. But all you dd is accept me, but if you loved me you would understand at least the situation we are now in.'' She tried to hold his arm.

But to her surprise, he just slapped her hands away and rose his head. ''I wanted to accept your feelings and let you live comfortably by my side, but I guess your feelings are just that big. Women like you I can find anywhere.'' He turned around and took his paper that was on the table. ''I am leaving now. One more chance, coming or not?''

Aria stood there completely apple and stared at him with hurtful expression. ''Don't you feel anything for me. Even a little bit?''

He just rose his eyebrows. ''Like I just said, I am willing to accept your feelings, but you have to come with me. If your love is that strong I might give you the right to bear my child. I will see with my wife.''

Kendra gasped and her eyes suddenly became red but Isaa held her hand. ''No, she has to go trough this. You can't snap at him as its thing between the two of them.''

Aria's face became ashen. ''What did you just say? Wife? Colas, that is impossible. When did you get married?''

He scratched his head. ''I think about two centuries ago. I am going to Warrior Guild to be with her. She was long time enough alone. I had to chance so far to leave this sect but now we can be together.''

Kendra started laughing. ''You had no chance? What are you talking about?''

Colas turned his head. ''You don't know about our old rules. Once in the sect, never can leave. I was taken by your Headmaster in as I was ta that time young and foolish. Later I realized my liking but he just didn't let me go. Now I can finally reunite with my family again.'' He looked at Aria. ''For almost century you didn't let me go. No matter what I said you didn't let go. On end, I spoke to my wife and she accepted you a sky side woman.''

''Side woman? If you just told me you were married I would have stopped right away. Are you crazy?'' Aria started getting angry but then chuckled. ''If you said just once, just once you were married... And side woman? Seriously? I am Aria. Senior of third grade. I need one more grade and Ill become a fairy. Why should someone like me become side woman to someone like you? How laughable must me my love to you? But don't worry. There won't be any side woman. You are free to leave. What a fool I am.'' Aria just shook her head and just went to her place while tears dropped from he eyes.

Colas just shrugged. ''Fine. Your choice. I age you one chance, do not even think about running after me when you see me again.'' He jumped on his sword and flew away.

Isaa sighed and looked at Kendra that followed him with her red eyes. ''It is better he came clean while they were still here. What if she found out when she went there?'' 

Aria heard their words and saw Kendra looking with anger towards the place he flew away. ''Headmaster, I will be fine. I cultivate my soul well. I think i will need some solitude for half of the century to get out the resentment and anger our me. If I don't get it out, I might not be able to pass the next level of evolution.''

Kendra shook her head. ''No. You will use that resentment at competition ground.'' She looked at everyone with a smile. ''Do you remember the teachings about accepting the darkness in you and using it against the other to block its negative influence. I want you all to do that in the next Competition. I am sending you there to try out your new knowledge. Wining is fine, but not important. What potions and stuff we do not have? I will make inner competitions and will gift flying weapon to the winner every half of year. If the person already have a flying weapon I will enhance it.''

Aria glanced to the spot Colas disappeared and started laughing. ''If he knew... Maybe it's even better. Now I can fully concentrate on rising my power. Men are important, but cultivation is for now even more important. I almost gave up rising powers so I could wait for him. I hoped that we could cultivate together.''

Kendra shook her head. ''I am sure he had never even considered that fact. Aria, the pain you have use as your shield. Just like you have been taught. Go to cultivation room and use the darkness within your soul and mix it with light to produce the shield. Go try. It will take you some time. You will be called out when the competition starts.''

Aria nodded and rushed away with a smile that contained pain, anger and leftover of emotion she had for Colas. That stupid idiot. He has no idea what he did. But that is his life, not mine. From now on I will concentrate to learn more and raise my powers. For myself. Just for myself...

Looking at her straight back Isa nodded and patted still angry Kendra. ''Sh is fine and she will be fine. Our cultivators are not weak people. Stop worrying too much.''

Kendra looked at the few cultivators that wanted to leave with a calm face and nodded. ''Leave and never come back.'' With a wave of the hand, she sent them in front of the village as she could see few of them not having flying weapons.

She turned her red eyes towards cultivators and a small smile appeared. ''I will always care about you. No matter so hurts you. Now, let's start with a new spell I made...''
