Chapter 17: Looking for trouble
Chapter 17: Looking for trouble
Alex was going to a Ultivehicle garage. He wanted a lift to his uncle's estate as he couldn't walk down there because it was extremely far.
Besides, it was in this garage, owned by the city lord, that all vehicles stopped and parked.
There were hundreds of these conveyance vehicles, from small sizes to great sizes.
These Ultivehicles could fly and move in water and are used for inter-state, inter-region or inter-continental travel.
The small sizes would carry ten people and was extremely fast, but it was really expensive. It flight ticket cost eight hundred thousand purple sapphirstone.
The medium sizes would carry ten thousand people, the large sizes would carry hundred thousand people while the great sizes had the capacities to carry ten million people and was extremely cheap. This was because a large number number of people would board it.
It only disadvantage was that it took a lot of time, like several months before it got fully occupied, and these great ultivehicles wouldn't take off until all its passenger seats are occupied.
Attracting eyes over and ignoring their gazes, he arrived in front of a massive building. In front of it were two poles that had a large board screwed to them.
In this board was boldly written "Smith City Ultivehicle Garage."
This was an Ultivehicle garage, it was located close to the city's gate.
This building was very large, and behind it, was an extremely enormous field.
On this field, there were hundreds of small size ultivehicles, fifty medium size and large size ultivehicles and a dozen of great ultivehicles.
When he entered into the garage, he saw a lot of people, and outstanding among them were several groups of people that were embellished in bright colorful uniforms.
Having interacted with the students of Immovable Mountain Academy, he recognized that these groups of people were from different academies.
There were about ten groups here and were pretty large in number. Each group had about hundred thousand people.
Seeing their numbers, Alex became bewildered. "Where are these people going to and in such massive numbers? And since they are from an academy, they should have their own transportation vehicle, why are they here?" He looked around trying to get clues so he could understand what was happening.
As Alex pondered, he suddenly heard a shout, "Hey! Smelly dirty brat, the filthy likes of you shouldn't be here. Go home to your mother this moment!"
Everyone turned their heads in search of the person that was spoken to, they wanted to see who was at the receiving end of that statement.
They caught sight of Alex and felt he must be the person spoken to. Their eyes widened in astonishment.
Who is this boy? Is he lost? what's he doing here?
In their eyes, Alex looked like a beggar that had sneaked in to beg for money or food from them.
Alex shook when he heard that.
He turned to see who spoke and when he saw this person, he said coldly, "Oh resentful foolish soul. Why don't you shut up and mind your business. True I may smell, but I smell better than you. I am not here to beg if that's what you are thinking, I am here for something greater than your purpose in life."
Heck!
Everyone's eyes widened in shock. This was a student of the Green River Academy and someone at the condensation stage at that.
Alex was speaking back to a cultivation senior?
Wasn't he asking to be punished?
And he was just at the middle-phase entry stage?
This person, Richard by name, dressed in green uniform that had a logo sewn to it to show he's a student of the Green River Academy looked at Alex with a face that now looked ugly, it had contorted due to anger.
"How dare you speak to me that way? Do you know what academy i am from? Mind the way you speak or you would be sent home without a tongue and a eye. Look at you, you claimed to smell better than me despite your obvious dirtiness, crackhead. I am sure you haven't had your bath in days." Richard said quickly and angrily.
"Yea, I haven't had my bath in days because I fell into a hole that trashes like you wouldn't be able to climb out from. It's a mistake on my part for not carrying abundant clothes with me, I won't repeat that a second time. When I get home, I would freshen up, thanks for the tip" Alex smiled and gave him a thumbs up, but the smile was noticeably disdainful.
Richard's gaze turned exceedingly furious, then he roared, "Ant, you dare look down on me?"
Alex's gaze sharpened, "No. But don't you dare look down on me because you study at an academy."
Immediately after he said this, everyone's ears twitched, It was like they didn't hear right.
After looking at Alex for a long time with astounded gazes, they shifted their gazes to this person from the Green River Academy.
The atmosphere became tense, everyone felt that a battle would soon occur.
"Haha!" This person laughed raucously, then he said, "Alright. Let's show off our strength in battle, we shall see who is better." Richard said as his eyes began to burn with passion for battle.
Alex shook his head, he saw he had no other way out than to fight. "Alright. Since you want to be disgraced, then I would gladly do so for you." Alex replied.
"We can't fight here, let's take it to the field." Richard said.
Alex nodded agreeably.
Then he followed behind Richard to the field.
Everyone, being fanatics for battles, all followed after the two to the field which they would turn their battle arena.
The instructors were in a room having a meeting with some people who were the ones running the garage on behalf of the city lord.
When they noticed this spectacle, they laughed.
"Don't interrupt them. Let them do their thing" one of the instructors said and the others nodded understandably.
"But who is that young boy? I hope it won't be a glib victory?" another put out to everyone.
"Hmm.. I don't think so. He seems up to the task. Let's watch, we would continue the meeting later." They all agreed and immediately deployed their powerful saint-senses which immediately captured the entire field.
The field was really large, and despite the numbers and immenseness of the ultivehicles, there were still enormous spaces left out.
It seemed they reserved these spaces for ultivehicles they would purchase sooner or later in future.
