'A Lightning Relic, finally!'
Of course, he had already had a Lightning Relic when training with Lin--though, it really was nothing special, this one looked higher quality--way higher quality, though of course still pretty weak.
Koji's gaze was sent downwards--casted upon the small, yellow sphere that he held within his small, but soft hands; this Relic, he had finally gotten his hands on it, and while it may just be a weak Lightning Relic with little to no real significance, it marked the start of Koji's journey into the Lightning Mantra! This Relic was a symbol of his new beginning, his beginning as a Transcendent--of course, Koji knew this wouldn't make him strong at all, he would simply learn the basics of Lightning Mantra.
Meanwhile, the four girls he shared the class with had varying expressions plastered upon their faces.
Emilia, the young girl with an obvious dislike towards Koji, and an apparent confidence in her words--well, she looked rather excited.
Alice, who Koji already knew--was definitely an awkward one, and seemed a bit quieter than the others--she looked a bit skeptical, but of course, optimistic at the same time.
Lucilia, the one who's resemblance of Lucy was creepy at the least, and a bit concerning at the most.... Well, hers was of opposite to them--for some reason, she was frowning. Did this girl think their first Relic would be more flashy or something? Koji had no idea why she looked so disappointed.
Then there was the last girl, Yuna--this girl, who Koji had been eyeing--this girl who had just smiled at him earlier, well she was casting the same soft smile down towards her Relic; her face didn't show any particular emotions, though Koji felt she didn't seem very surprised, but she didn't seem disappointed--indeed, she was a bit harder to read than the others.
Maybe the fact she was hard to read came from Koji's constant urge to drift his eyes "down there".
'Fuck! She's 13, I can't just stare at her tits like they are a treasure chest, plus she may notice me staring... That would be pretty ba-'
"Ms. Cecilia! I saw Koji staring at Yuna inappropriately!"
Koji's face went pale as Emilia suddenly yelled to Ms. Cecilia--instantly, all of their eyes fell upon him and his face went from pale to utterly red; not only that, but he knew Ms. Cecilia's view of him would get worse and worse if this continued happening, and eventually she'd consider him no better than Ecchi!
"He is only nine right? It's okay, he probably didn't even mean anything weird by it."
Suddenly, the girl who Koji's stare was directed towards--Yuna, spoke up in defense for him; what a surprise, the victim of his grotesque stare was actually the one to jump to his defense! If only she knew, Koji in his mind--well, was thinking some not so nine year old like things.
"He was still staring at you! Plus, look at him--he looks like a creep with his black eyes and black hair, like he wants to kill somebody!"
'Ehh what? This little bitch! I look cool, not creepy--obviously, she understands not of true beauty!'
Koji was deeply offended at her comment, as he felt this looks was great! Definitely, it for sure felt better than his younger one--the black hair, and the black eyes suited him much more than the white hair and blue eyes.
"Girls, girls calm down--and Koji, no more staring okay? It's rude, and it can make girls very uncomfortable; from now on, just please try to keep your eyes to yourself, alright Koji?"
Cecilia intervened rather--or, she tried to intervene peacefully, though the nature of what she was saying still was firm; deep down, she was getting worried that Ecchi's influence on Koji was a bit of a larger problem than she originally thought--after all, kids are very impressionable, so she felt Koji was going through that too.
Little did she know, Koji--deep down, although he may seem a bit tame compared to other boys at most time, in his peak hormonic state, Koji became an absolute pervert by every standard!
"Yes Ms. Cecilia! I will not stare at anyone again, I promise!"
'Not! Sorry, but her tits are too nice--her ass is too fat, and her face is too pretty for my innocent eyes to stay away; really, I know this may be weird--damn! Hehe, back in high school when I was 14, it was real bad--good lord, I couldn't keep my hands off my dick for an hour! Haha! So now, I'd say I improved... At least instead of slinging my dick, I'm just staring.'
Koji's perverted thoughts made him recall his previous childhood, in which he would partake in pleasuring himself almost hourly; Koji, he truly was not normal--though, how could one criticize him? If someone was as lonely as he was, they may become the same!
"Anyways guys, so you all need to listen now--as now, I will tell y'all the rules of what you can and cannot do with these Relics, okay? If I catch anyone disobeying the rules once, yes even once--I will take it away."
As Cecilia announced her words to the class, everyone--including Koji, nodded at her statement; after a bit where she confirmed everyone's obedience to her words, she continued on and stated the rules.
"First off, do not use your Relics on other students! This is forbidden, and not only will you have your Relic taken away--you will also not be able to get it back for at least a month! Secondly, do not take your Relic home--if this happens, I will confiscate it for a week--finally, only--and only use your Relic when I give the command, do not use it to show off to other students, or anything else for that matter--does everyone understand me clearly?"
The rules were very simple, and she had applied these to all her other classes as well; for the most part, following them would be easy for the majority of people--of course, the majority never meant all.
At her statement, no one in the class had issues--in fact, two of the girls--being Lucilia and Yuna, have already been in Cecilia's classes, though she only now just started teaching specific Mantra's; anyway, they are quite familiar with what type of rules Cecilia usually gave them, so these came to no surprise.
'These are simple enough, at least she didn't say we can't keep them while we're at the 'school', which means we can still have them while we aren't in our class! Hehe, this is great; though, are we gonna start learning how to use them correctly today? This has been awhile that we've kind of just been sitting here...'
Indeed, Koji had been getting a bit bored at this point--why weren't they using their Relics yet? A bit infuriating, it truly was at this point.
"Now class, there will be time for using your Relics later--for now, let me give y'all a bit of history on how the Lightning Mantra came to be."
'What?! Ugh, this is gonna be boring as fuck!'
Koji cursed her words inside of his head; he was acting a bit like a child, but this was simply due to the fact he had a Relic in his hands that was currently unusable.
"Lightning Mantra is a special Mantra, as it is mostly women who occupy it; this is because for some reason, which hasn't been fully discovered--women usually have a bit of a talent for Lightning Mantra, so to any woman--it is pretty much the safest pick, as you are likely to be a bit successful in some way. However, it's history actually started with a man, who was an Immortal who popularized Lightning Mantra, and brought it's power to the eight realms; of course, it was a thing before that--though, just not nearly as popular."
Koji rolled his eyes as she spoke--in truth, none of this really mattered to him; he had already learnt some history of the world through Lin, and currently this was not what he was particularly interested in. Right now, he wanted to become more proficient in Lightning Mantra, and also nurture a new Xin core as soon as he can! Though, for right now he'd simply have to hold that urge.
For around 10 more minutes, Cecilia continued ranting on about some of the history, some great Transcendents who's main Mantra was Lightning, and things like that--all things that indeed, Koji paid little to no attention to.
"Alright guys, now we will begin Relic usage--of course, first I want all of you to come outside with me."
'Finally, yes! I shouldn't be too bad at controlling this Relic--good lord, this marks the day I finally start making more progress, yes!'
Koji--and of course, the girls got up from where they sat on the floor, and followed Ms. Cecilia outside; oddly, it was not a very sunny day currently, and the sky was filled with clouds--though, it was not raining; in fact, Koji had barely ever seen rain in this world! Truly, it was an extremely rare thing, well he was glad--he hated rain!
However, Koji also didn't like when the sun wasn't out--which, at this current time--was indeed the case, except it didn't matter much right now.
Currently, Koji was just glad they could finally start the fun part!
Except, maybe he wouldn't be starting today--because at that moment, just as they were walking outside, Cecilia's eyes went wide in shock; not only that, but so did the girls at her side.
'What happened?'
Koji turned his eyes to where they were looking, and there he was--Ecchi!
Ecchi was using a Wind Relic to make girls skirts go into the air!
