A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Next day...

Alex and Jake stood from the spot they sat in cross-legged. They had cultivated from night till morning.

"Let's prepare for class." Jake said.

"Why are you in a hurry? There's still time" Alex said.

"Well, let's just see it as me being in a hurry to see that beauty." Jake said.

Alex smirked.

"I envy you, sincerely. I wish I was the one she winked at" Jake said.

Alex glared at Jake, then he felt like punching him. He just gave a 'mtcheew' in the end and went to shower to prepare for class.

......

Dressed in uniforms and looking good, they marched to their lecture block for the class of the day.

As soon as they got into the hall where they would have their class, Alex saw the girl who winked at him yesterday already on seat.

When she saw him, she smiled at him. She was trying to make Alex react the same way he did yesterday so that she would get a good laugh as she found it very entertaining. But Alex smiled back calmly and even winked at her.

At this point in time, one could say he was ready for anything. Or more precisely, it was his mind that was ready for anything that had to do with girls.

After a proper orientation from Jake, he could now return the actions of people of the opposite sex. One could say he was now well groomed by Jake over interaction with females both known and unknown.

Seeing that Alex didn't fluster like he did yesterday, the girl who was Coldmoon in disguise smiled but there was shock abounding in her eyes which she concealed very well from revealing to Alex.

"Nice. He learnt quite fast how to have control on his mind. I am impressed. But wow, he is an epitome of attraction. Who are his parent really? They must be some very charming people. Anyways, I shall see to the degree the grip you have gotten on your mind" Coldmoon said inwardly.

Alex took a seat somewhere with Jake and sat. Then they waited for their instructor to come in.

While waiting, Elena came in with a smile in her face. But the instant she saw the beautiful girl who was Coldmoon, her smile disappeared and her brows wrinkled. An expression of ire appeared in her face.

But this appeared only for a second as it vanished the next.

Coldmoon who was a powerful cultivation expert of course noted the rapid change in Elena's facial expression, then she began to wonder how she had offended the beauty in front of her.

"Or is she the boy's secret admirer?" She thought.

"Ahh, must be. That's why she's angry. She feels I would make the person she adores so much turn a blind eye to her. Haha. Well, be prepared as my next actions may cause you to cough out mouthfuls of blood in anger" She said in her mind and grinned.

Elena then went to sit and waved at Alex who also waved back at her with a smile.

"Hello!" the instructor said out loud when he came in. Then the entire class greeted as soon as they heard his voice.

When he got ready to teach, he saw a young beautiful female in his class whom he had never seen anywhere before in the institution and became surprised.

But awe and astonishment emanated off his gaze as he stared at the girl before him.

Looking at her with glittering eyes which showed he deeply marveled at the girl's beauty, he asked "You must be a new student right? I have never seen this face before. Or did you ascend to here from the entry-stage class because of a breakthrough in your cultivation?"

"No. I am a new student" Coldmoon replied.

"Huh? You are a newly admitted student?" The instructor asked.

"Yes" Coldmoon replied.

"But the institution isn't supposed to accept new students anytime soon. The year hasn't come to an end and we would only take in fresh students the following year. So, am surprised how you were able to enter and enrol as a student"

"Actually, I am not from around here. I came from a neighboring state." Coldmoon replied.

"A neighboring state. Hmm. Then I guess you must be a member of a powerful family since you were given admission. We only give exceptions to children from influential and wealthy families" The instructor said.

Then he continued "Do introduce yourself to the class"

Coldmoon nodded.

Then facing the class, she said "My name's Karen Moonlight Frost" Coldmoon replied.

"Okay. You must come from a family that cultivates moon, ice and frost-energy right?" The instructor asked.

Coldmoon nodded her head.

"Alright, you can have your seat" The instructor said.

Coldmoon nodded and sat. And when she sat, she turned her head to look at Alex who was looking at her at the moment. Then she produced a flirtatious smile at him.

Alex didn't smile back this time. He only nodded at her and turned his head away to focus on the instructor who had begun to give lectures.

But throughout the time the instructor was teaching, Coldmoon would look over to Alex's side who would look back at her because he could feel her gaze on him and when their eyes jammed, she would wink at him in a seductive manner.

Alex couldn't understand why the girl who was Coldmoon was trying hard to get his attention.

He began to wonder where he knew her from. He thought maybe they had met some place in the past, but he couldn't bring up anything about her in his memories.

Alex didn't know that she wasn't trying to catch his attention. Instead, she was just trying to make Elena feel more jealous.

As she continued to do what she was doing which were smiling and winking at Alex, she could feel Elena's angry gaze on her body.

Inwardly, she was grinning. She was enjoying what she was doing. It was fun to her.

"It has been very long since I had such fun like this. I feel like returning to a more younger age and going back to school where I would cause mischief"

At this point in time, Coldmoon had winked at Alex close to nine times. But she became surprised when Alex winked back at her in an alluring manner and blew her a kiss from where he sat.

But no one saw this. The instructor nor the students in the hall. Only Elena and Coldmoon saw what Alex did.

Actually, Coldmoon had been constantly releasing omnidirectional waves of sage-level illusion-power from within her body.

She did this by utilizing an illusion-based battle method to project illusions to everyone's mind. Except to that of Alex and Elena.

This totally affected what everyone were seeing and hearing. So, nobody noticed her all through the time she was winking at Alex who then reciprocated her actions and took it up a notch.

Elena who was maintaining her state of mind couldn't take it any more, when she saw what Alex did to Coldmoon, ire surfaced in her heart.

Bang!

She raised her fist and smashed it into her table, shattering it to pieces. Then she left the hall.

The instructor became dumbfounded. He didn't know what caused the sudden outburst from Elena.

Alex too was surprised. Then he quickly stood up and said "Instructor Kennedy, you can continue with your class. I would go talk to her and bring her back"

Instructor Kennedy was astounded. He didn't know what was going on. He nodded his head showing he gave his approved.

Then Alex dashed out of the lecture hall towards Elena who had walked far into the distance.

On reaching her side, he asked "Elena, what's wrong?"

She didn't reply to his question. She just continued to walk as she headed to her hostel block.

Alex tried talking to her but she just ignored him.

He did his best to grab her attention but his efforts were futile.

After sometime, Elena said "Go meet the most beautiful and sexually attractive girl in the school. Please stop bothering me"

Alex could only smile wryly. He felt he shouldn't have done what he did back then. But he didn't mean to make Elena jealous.

"Elena, it's not what you think" Alex said. Then he tried to explain.

"Hold it mister. I don't want to hear your explanation. You boys are all the same." Elena said.

"Huh? How?" Alex asked.

"As soon as a girl way more beautiful and fleshy than the girls you guys know comes in and gives you all attention, then you all would pay more attention to her, forgetting about the rest" Elena replied.

Alex could feel her pain. He could perceive it in her speech. She was really aggrieved.

He now began to feel like he had done something extremely bad to her.

"Elena, come on. It's not like that. Please hear me out first" Alex said.

But Elena ignored him and just kept on walking.

Seeing that she refused to listen to him and wouldn't stop walking, Alex grabbed her hand.

She became shocked. Then her anger intensified.

"Alex, if you don't leave my hand this moment, I will attack you." She said in a threatening tone.

"What? You would really attack me?" Alex asked.

Elena didn't respond. She only tried to pull out her hand from Alex's tight grasp.

She did her best to remove her hand that was clasped in Alex's but to no avail. The strength of Alex's hand was far beyond hers.

He had the physical strength of many men and would be able to flatten a thick steel rod in his palm by applying a crushing force.

So, how would Elena be able to pull out her hand from a hand that possessed such strength.

Then her other hand began to emit a dazzling colorful light.

Alex saw this and his eyes widened. She wanted to unleash an energy-attack at him.

Then he thought of what next to do to calm her down. After producing thousands of thoughts in his head in a split-second, he chose one which he felt was the only brilliant thing to do.

Before Elena could shoot off an energy-attack at him, he abruptly pulled her close to himself. With her body now pressing hard against his, Alex took her lips into his.

He started to kiss her.
