-- "W-Why am I embarrassed?" Addison laughed in self-deprecation, "Mistaking the situation isn't embarrassing?" "Normally, yes." Kaze laughed, "But you were getting naked for the massage, were you not?" "No... it's not that." She grimaced, "It's more like... I figured you invited me just to sleep with me. Now, whenever you help me and do something nice without taking me, I feel embarrassed for thinking you only wanted sex. I'm confused." Kaze froze for a moment in shocked confusion. "Wait, did I do or…-

While Kiera pretended to try hard to learn and practice the technique, Kaze was busy saying hello to an old acquaintance. "I'll fail if I don't pass again." A redhead sighed, sitting in the lotus position and looking at the technique in an isolated location behind a building, "I can't let him down again. I'm pathetic." "Hello, Addison." Kaze said charmingly. Her eyes widened when she heard his voice, and she turned her head in panic. "K-Kaze!" "Why are you so panicked?" He asked with a slight smile,…

BOOOOOOOM! A massive explosion rocked the meadow, sending debris everywhere. Kiera hid her face reflexively but calmed down when she peeked and found Kaze watching with a relaxed expression. She immediately turned back to the area. Whiiiiish, craaaaaaack! whiiiiish, whiiiish, whiiiiiiish! Craaack! "I-I can't even see what's happening with this dust." She muttered to herself. "Oh, yes." Kaze smiled, "Take this." He touched her forehead, and Minor Vision crashed into her mind, instantly allowing her to…

The emperor and the shadow cat stared at each other. One stood on the water, bobbing up and down in the same location, the other on dry ground. Evalyn and Kiera stared at the two with trembling eyes. "My apologies; I'm teaching my student the importance of not proking others." Kaze said solemnly, "Her language is on track to get her killed, so I'm demonstrating the consequence of speaking frivously." He closed his eyes and nodded slowly before making eye contact again. His humility humbled Evalyn, who…

The next morning at 5:48, Kiera walked to the training ground with bloodshot eyes and the enthusiasm of a dying dog. "I should've just rolled the dice; death is a blessing compared to waking up this early." She complained bitterly. "You think you're joking, but you'll definitely feel that way before the end of our first training day." Kaze grinned from behind her, making her eyes widen. However, she didn't look back in protest. "Isn't avoiding death the point of this torturous training?" "Precisely."…

Kiera stared into his vivid green eyes. "Hey, teach. Why do you always talk like people will get pwned tomorrow for their actions?" The emperor rolled his eyes. "You almost killed someone a moment ago, yes?" Her eyes trembled, and she turned away. "True, but your language implies something greater." "I'll communicate my actions when you communicate yours." He replied with a mocking smile. "Jerk." Kiera huffed, turning away cutely. Kaze chuckled and continued walking. She quickly followed him in…

[A/N: The dialogue in this chapter is intentionally high-level and derisive to show the rich contrasts between Kiera and Kaze's speech patterns and the similarities in their thinking and articulation. It also makes it unnaturally overbearing. However, if you make an effort, you'll find this chapter has the best dialogue in the novel. Hands down. It's a hilarious, lethal war of clever lines. Enjoy!] -- An issue broke out outside the main training area--far out. "Look, if I could fill my knowledge into a…

After leaving Evalyn and Crux, Kaze met his students at the amphitheater at 9 am sharp, showcasing his incredible time management skills. He walked onto the stage with a slight smile. Everyone waited with bated breath; it was the first day of training since the party punishment. So members were uncertain whether he'd berate them or bear his charisma. "That was a pretty bad way to kick off learning, wasn't it?" Kaze asked with a cheeky smile. After a moment of stunned silence, everyone burst into…

Kaze took a shower to remove the last residual impurities from the miasma in his body. He methodically obliterated his chest, lungs, and shoulders and healed them to permanently remove impurities. Now his body was as pristine and unscarred as it was a week ago. It was ludicrous from any rational perspective and showcased the absurd level of power he had amassed with his cultivation techniques and the indomitability of his mindset. "Finally." Kaze grinned, getting out of the shower with a bright smile,…

General Michaels swallowed nervously after hearing Kaze's bold threat of force following his words. He was beginning to realize that cultivators were sensitive snowflakes regarding language, and he needed stringent workplace training sessions for anyone who came into contact with the emperor. "Forgive me for my language." The general sighed, "That's soldier speak, for I'm not hostile; my job demands me to ask about your actions. If you don't mind me asking, who is she?" The emperor closed his eyes.…
