A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

He went to meet the the person that registered names of people that entered the cultivation rooms to cultivate.

He got the room number which was room 306 but the lady in charge said he couldn't go. There were regulations in this place and one of it was that anybody in the cultivation room shouldn't be disturbed.

After begging for sometime which the lady didn't respond to. He said "Actually, I am the boy Instructor Jennifer brought in. I am here on her behalf to call out the boy in room 306. It's concerning something very urgent." He said.

The lady looked at him. Whether it was true or false, she couldn't say but since he said he was here on Instructor Jennifer's behalf, who was she to not comply to the request?

Alex went to room 303. This was the room Jake cultivated in.

Once he got there, he knocked.

Knock!

Jake who was still cultivating at the moment came out of it when he heard the sound. His mind became unsettled.

It seems the boys had gathered this morning again and got tired of waiting outside. So they decided to come in. They had ran out of patience. So he thought.

Then he thought hard of what to do. He felt he could only blame himself for his misfortune at this moment.

If he knew, he would have just stayed with Alex in the room. It was because he just wanted to go see some beauties that he told Alex he was going to the cultivation block. But where he had in mind was the make-up room.

He just wanted to scout the area and then quickly return but those boys attacked him and began to chase him.

As he was thinking of what to do, he heard a voice.

"Nut, what are you doing in there? Open this door!"

His eyes shone. That was Alex's voice.

He quickly opened the door.

"What the fuck are you doing here man?" he asked with indifferent eyes. But his mind was full of happiness.

"When everyone has settled in class, we would leave here. We can't attract eyes over." Alex replied.

Jake could perceive a sense of urgency in Alex's tone. "What's wrong? Where are we going to?" he asked with one of his brows furrowed.

"We would go to instructor Jennifer's office. I want to talk to her concerning something. I just hope she hasn't gone to give lectures. To your question, for the remaining days before the competition, we would stay in her place. I have made up my mind " Alex replied.

Jake's eyes shone.

Haha!

He laughed in great excitement. Then he asked. "That's brilliant of you. Whoever took your brain just handed it back to you?"

Alex looked at him and shook his head.

They sat and waited for everyone to go to class.

When they felt they had waited enough, they left the cultivation room and hurried down to Jennifer's office.

Luckily, Jennifer was still in her office. She was sorting out some stuff. But an hour later, she would leave to go give lecture.

Knock!

She heard a knock on the door. She became surprised.

Who would be knocking on her door at this time? She was perplexed.

From where she seated, a formless power emanated from her and unlocked the door. She pulled back in that power and said "Come in"

Then Alex and Jake walked in.

Jennifer was surprised to see both of them.

She asked. "What's wrong? Why aren't you boys in class?"

"We can't go to class." Jake said.

Before she could speak, Alex quickly said. "Instructor Jennifer, can we stay in that room you said you would give us?"

She was taken aback. She didn't know why Alex now accepted to stay in a room at her place. But she couldn't reject him. "Alright. You are free to move in"

Alex nodded while Jake's eyes shone with intense delight.

"So you boys won't be going to class today?" she asked.

"Yes." Alex said.

"Why? I want to know the reason. Yesterday you assured me, but today I am hearing something else. Tell me" She said.

"Alright. This morning when I was preparing to go to class, I suddenly heard the voice of Instructor Micah in my head. He ordered me to come to his office and then I replied he should shove his order up his butt" Alex replied.

Jake's eyes shone with awe. He looked at Alex and asked "You told him that?"

"Yes I did." Alex replied.

Jake shook his head. "Another brilliant feat. Just amazing. No wonder you hurried to where I was and asked we run down to instructor Jennifer's office." he said. "I wonder how the asshole felt" he said with a grin.

"Oh, I get. So you want me to defend you in case he comes for you right?" Jennifer asked.

Alex nodded.

Jennifer shook her head. What a boy.

Then she pointed a finger. A wide beam of resplendent light shot out from it and tore a large hole in the fabric of space.

Alex and Jake could see a room at the other end.

That was the room she wanted to give to them.

"Alright. Go in" she said.

Then Alex and Jake walked into the spatial hole and appeared in the room.

Then the hole vanished.

"Haha" Jake gave an unbridled laughter. "Finally!" He shouted.

Alex looked around in the room and saw that it was dusty and full of cobwebs. It hadn't been swept and dusted in a long time. It seemed Instructor Jennifer abandoned the room as no one was staying in it. But now he and Jake occupied it.

So they got to work. They started cleaning the whole place.

Jennifer was still in her office. It wasn't time for her to go give lectures.

She was arranging some files when a knock was heard on the door.

"Come in" she said.

Then Micah walked in with a smile plastered on his face.

"What do you want now?" she asked in a displeased tone.

"The boys at your place?" he asked.

"Yes, what about it?" she asked.

"I want to see that boy. Can you produce him for me. I promise I am not going to hurt him." he said.

"Can't take that risk. I know you. You are a very desperate person. You would do anything to achieve your goals. Bad or bad." she said.

"Oh really? perhaps if I tell you this, you would loosen up. I know a secret you are keeping from everyone" Micah said.

"That the four-piece necklace is a key to open the door of a vault that contains the lifetime accumulations of a sage expert. Yes, I long figured out that" she replied.

Micah's eyes shone.

"Well, let's just end everything here. Let's go together to the place where the vault is located. We would split the wealth sixty-forty" he said.

"Who receives the fatter share?" Jennifer asked.

"Me of course" Micah replied.

"You are a very greedy person. Anyways, I am not splitting anything off with you. It was mine in the first place. The bet still goes on. When either of the boys wins, the person who produced the boy that won the match would take the treasure. Just keep that one piece safe for me" Jennifer said with confidence.

Jake could feel the unyielding confidence in her tone. He smiled and said, "I see why you are so confident in the boy. He's not like the others. He's powerful. I was just wasting away my time all this while setting up obstacles only to be conquered by the bastard in the end. Well, I just discovered that this morning. He's a gem. Give me the boy, I want to ask him a few questions. That's all" He said as his tone turned sinister.

"if I don't, what will you do?" she asked.

"I would tell the whole world about the wealth of the sage expert you have." he said in a threatening tone.

Jennifer body shook.

"Yes, tremble. I know you know what that means. Every cultivator from the saint emperor realm and grand saint emperor realm would come for you. By the time thousands of them gather before our academy, the academy would have no choice than to beg you to release the key in your hand. Wicked right? Haha" he said and grinned evilly.

"I will give you twenty four hours to produce the boy. You don't? Just prepare yourself to loose ownership of the other three piece." he said with an unbridled laughter.

Then he walked out and jammed the door heavily.

Jennifer sat on her seat. She became incredibly sad. Her beautiful face became ruined by the worries in her heart.

If she refuses to produce Alex, she would loose the wealth.

She sighed in anguish.

She couldn't do that to the boy who had always trusted that she would protect him. She was not the betraying type

When she thought hard over it, she made up her mind.

- Evening -

Jennifer's residence...

At the moment, Jennifer was in the shower room having a nice warm shower. When she was done, washing away the stress of the day and looking striking, she summoned Alex.

"Alex, something happened today. And because of it, I have given up on the bet" she said in a sad tone.

"What? Why? You can't do that?" Alex hurriedly said.

"Yes, I have to. I was told to choose between you and the wealth. I have to let go of the wealth. What did you do to him exactly?" Jennifer asked.

Alex upon hearing this felt extremely down. What happened this morning had caused everything to turn around.

He looked at her. Since she could let go of the wealth just for his sake, there was nothing bad if he revealed something to her.

The impression of her in Alex's mind went up. She was a good person and she wasn't greedy.

He made up his mind.

"Okay, I would show you"
