Shakuni was the only person in the room when Ronan woke up in the medical dorm , and despite heavy protests on this decision by Sierra , Alexander decided that it was the best course of action.


    Naturally because of this , Ronan was startled to see the old man sitting infront of him sipping tea as he jolted off the bed.


    Shakuni had a sage like appearance with his long ponytail and pointed long beard that was connected with his moustache with  broad eyes and a sharp nose. His skin was as vibrant as that of a baby and although he was very old , his posture and his demeanor exuded youthful grace and power.


    ” You – old man what are you doing here ? ” , Ronan pointed at shakuni and questioned as he panicked and looked across the room to make sure he was not kidnapped.


    Finding the surroundings familiar , Ronan was even more perplexed as he found it weird that his overprotective family was not inside the room at the moment.


    ” Did you kill everyone in the pce? ” Ronan asked visibly trembling as he was ready tosh out at shakuni.


    Shakuni found the thought process of the kid to beughable as he said ” Well although i could technically do it , i have not . Your father the king has decided that it’s best for the two of us to talk in private which is why I’m here “.


    Ronan was baffled to hear this answer as it was very difficult to persuade Alexander into doing something he did not wish to do. Hence it must mean that he approved of this meeting …. but why?


    Ronan stared at shakuni for a while before skeptically squinting his eyes at him , as he said ” What do you want ? “._.


    Shakuni being the veteran he was knew that the angry kid was not going to be easy to talk to , hence he did not put-up his proposal straight away but rather asked another important question first.


    ” Why do you hate the world order so much ? “.


    It was the million gold coin question as Shakuni did not truly understand the origins of Ronan’s anger towards the peace organization of the world , meant to protect humankind.


    Ronan replied instantly ” They killed my sensei …. ur filthy bncers . For that I can never forgive them.


    The world order is a bully organization that throws its weight around wherever it goes , your bncers think of themselves as god’s who are the judge, jury , and executioner on this world and kill anyone they want to kill , whenever they want to kill and wherever they want to kill?


    Why? was my sensei a criminal?


    did hemit mass murder?


    did he steal from ur organization?


    He was simply a hermit living in the forest … an honest man . But he was toyed to death by your bncers whoughed and enjoyed stomping on his defenseless body as they ganged up on him.


    Absolutely despicable ….. “.


    Shakuni could feel the anger in Ronan’s voice as he felt disgusted internally to hear that the dignified bncers were acting so unruly in the social world.


    ” Tell me their names and i will see to it that they are punished … “. shakuni said stroking his beard as he wanted to gauge Ronan’s response. In reality he already knew about the bncers responsible for Karna’s killing as they were the same ones that presented the kill order on the Draco n.


    ” Hahahahaha ….. No! This is my Sensei’s revenge old man , as his one and only apprentice , i swear by my royal blood that I will have their heads one day “. Ronan rejected the idea instantly as Shakuni’s impression of the kid went up by a notch .


    Ronan did not take the easy way out , but instead chose to get stronger and exact his revenge himself.


    He was loyal to his sensei even after death and stood strongly by his beleifs. He had the right qualities to be an emperor someday.


    Shakuni stroked his beard and showed no reaction to his ims as he said ” I won’t beat around the bush kid … im growing old and i want to pass on my legacy to someone before i ascend from this ne to a higher one , and i find you suitable to be my one and only disciple.


    Come to my sect … be my direct disciple and i will make you stronger the strongest warrior on this continent “.


    Ronan was shocked to hear Shakuni’s proposition . In his mind all the world order leaders were criminals , yet here the absolute boss of the organisation wanted to make him his one and only disciple . He was too overwhelmed to even speak.


    Ronan had seen Shakuni’s power firsthand and he knew that this man was in a league of his own and learning from him Ronan could really be  a great warrior , but in his heart he could not ept it.


    The fact that he was a world order leader bugged Ronan and hence he questioned shakuni ” Don’t you understand old man…. I WILL BURN your organization to the ground someday , I’m your enemy , not your Ally! “.


    Shakuni found Ronan’s childish argument to be funny as he said ” Kid do you even understand what the world order is for? … have you ever wondered why such an organisation exists in the first ce?


    Humans are not the only race on Everlon and those of us that are of the same race are divided between countless kingdoms and empires , while the other races have one kingdom and one king.


    The world order is the organisation that is at the forefront of upholding human peace , as we fight the battles that noone wishes to fight , selflessly for the betterment of all humans.


    The reason why i lead the organisation is because I myself fight countless wars to stabilize the human dominated areas from other races that have their eyes set on it.


    What i care for is the cause … what i don’t care for is the organisation .


    If you think you can support the weight of the entire human race on your shoulders … sure , I’ll help you burn the world order myself “.


    Ronan was shook to hear Shakuni’s retort , he had no idea the world order was actually such a vital organization for global peace , and thest line that shakuni said to help him burn it down should he be able to support the weight of humanity himself made his spine shudder.


    The world order that he knew and understood was an organisation that only hunted forbidden elemental users and their families like hounds regardless of the users themselvesmitting no crime of any nature at all , while their family members being even more innocent.


    In Ronan’s POV anyone could be a mass murderer not just a forbidden elemental user , but any elemental user for that.


    Punishment should only be for a crime and not for existance , the logic that the world order used to hunt forbidden users by calling them ‘ Potential Threats ‘ was absolute bullshit as by that logic the entirety of human poption was a potential threat.


    Agreed the forbidden users were stronger than normal users , but that was no excuse to kill infants who have done nothing except breathing in the world.


    Shocked , Ronan was silent for a long while as he contemted Shakuni’s words.

    ( meanwhile the night king )


    The night king had awakened from his slumber and had started to reawaken his minions , caught in his endless ice trap that had preserved their body for a millenia.


    Not alive , yet not dead , the army of the half-deads was regathering as their target was the phoenix n .


    The feud between the two ran old and while the night king regained his strength , scouts and an advanced party had been dispatched to locate the wherebouts of the ursed n.


    Scattering in all directions , the goal was to get information about the phoenix n and the  undying Nirvana me in their posession  , the ancestral treasure of the night king desperately wanted to be an immortal.


    A thousand years had passed since he first battled the first ancestor of the phoenix n and was forced to seal himself off into thick ice . Forgotten by time as he waited a millennium for rising once more.


    With the same ambitions as a 1000 years ago , the night king still chased immortality and had a grudge to settle with the phoenix n descendants , if they still existed to this day.
