Overcoming The Beast

"Leon you know that I'll be leaving for Blood sea city after this."

"Right brother I wanted to tell you that after the Clan competition I'll be following you there. I'm planning on going to Blacksmithing city which is in that direction but my mom told me I had to spend some time with you until I was used to the outside world."

Pace started laughing "That's great I was going to say farewell but looks like we are going in the same direction."

Pace then changed the topic "Leon I see your friends with Eos."

"Well I kind of know her. She seems like a nice girl."

"Kind of? She had been raining around the clan asking everyone about you. I eventually told her you weren't here then she finally stopped." Pace then started to laughter "I think a lot of people think you and Eos are a thing."

"What! I've barely met her. I helped her few times but that is it. We are just friends."

"Really she is talented, I might ask her out myself if you aren't interested."

Leon seeing what Pace was doing played along. He looked at Pace in anger.

"Fine, Fine I'll stay away. I was kidding. I don't have time for romance." Pace said dramatically. "If you like her why didn't you just say so."

"Well like you" Leon copied Pace "I don't have time for romance."

"But seriously, you should talk to her now. News of her talent has spread through thousands of kilometers. Far away clans have already sent invitations thinking about engaging Eos to top talents in there clan."

Pace loved as if he was about to vomit "That Brandon from the Ash clan that rules the Ash Lake City is said to like Eos a lot. He has also awakened a five voidstar rank primal beast at the age of eight. It is supposed to be the Flame Eater Crocodile." He then goes back to his cheery mood "it is fine though, as a brother I will help you as much as I can."

Leon looked at Pace, his face showed his thankfulness. There were no words spoken but Pace knew his brothers thoughts he stood tall next to him. As they both continued to watch the ceremony.

Leon got bored as he watched he said "So brother Pace what cultivation have you reached?"

"I'm about to break into summoning Teacher."

"He's almost reached summoning teacher rank! It took him two more years in my past life. Seems like my talent was absorbed by the Falling Star Flame Pengs increasing its talent and Pace's talent in turn." Leon thought

"Wow! brother you're really fast."

Eventually the clan head announced Leon's name. He looked at Leon and noticed- now that he looked at him more closely that Leon seemed familiar. Noticing the change in gaze, Leon acted oblivious. He walked up the stairs. It was his turn to awaken his soul book.
