Chapter 77 - Speed

"I'm finished," Julius announced as he stood up from his chair after closing his book. Once he looked up, he realized that the librarian, Jun and all the assistants were applauding for him.

"…why is everyone clapping?" Julius asked with a confused face.

"Julius, you've managed to finish reading every single book inside the library of the limitless in less than 6 months!" Jun announced proudly.

…

"WHAT?!" Julius yelled out.

"Why do you sound surprised?" the librarian asked.

"I didn't know that I read that many books, I mean how do you guys know? The books are still in their shelves-" Julius said before cutting himself off as he looked around to see that all the shelves were empty and all the books were to the left of him, stacked on the ground which was the section where he placed the books he finished.

"So I really did read all these books," said Julius before letting out a little laugh.

"Come on, tell us what your status points are now that you've read this many books," said the librarian with a face of excitement.

"Sorry, we can't be giving out information like that. It'll be all announced on Julius' 18th birthday," Jun lied before telling the librarian and her assistants they he needed to leave.

"But seriously, thank you all of you. You've done so much for us and I hope there will be a day where I can repay you for all your kindness," said Jun as he bowed to the librarian and the assistants before leaving the place with Julius.

The jade dragon who was waiting for Jun outside allowed his owner and Julius to ride on it before taking them back to the mountain top where Jun's house was. As the two of them soared through the sky on the jade dragon's back, Julius couldn't help but ask a couple questions.

"Why did you lie to them?" Julius asked his master.

"Would you want the world to know that you're physically stronger than the current strongest person in the world after only 10 months of training? Do you know how much trouble you could cause for yourself?" Jun asked in a serious tone.

"I'm sorry, I should be proud of you right now and I really am. If you wish to do so, I'll allow you to go back to your kingdom so that you can visit your family and have plenty of time to get ready for your 15th birthday," said Jun as they two continued to go back to their home.

"To be honest, if you had asked me that question when I first started training with you, I would've gladly accepted. But I think I have a better idea. How about following through with the lie you said at the library of the limitless and actually announcing my status points when I turn 18. Once it is announced, I'll also announce the revival of the 10th kingdom. Until then, I'll keep training. After all, I still have to cultivate through battle which I've been missing out on for quite a while," Julius said as he had a bright smile on his face.

"You're maturing so fast," said Jun as he wiped a single tear out of his eyes.

"But seriously, I still haven't forgotten about Dae and Knight. I still wish to get them on our side," Julius announced which made Jun sigh.

"Julius, would you like me to give you the scroll which allows you to summon a dragon?" Jun asked his student.

"Wait really?! I can really have a jade dragon of my own?!" Julius asked with excitement on his face.

"Not just a jade dragon but you can summon a dragon with any colour that you wish. It can be red, blue, yellow, orange," Jun informed his student which just helped Julius grow with anticipation.

"Yes please, I really wanted to have a dragon of my own!" Julius replied to his master's request.

"Okay then, it's settled. When we get back home, I'll give you that scroll," Jun said with a smile on his face with Julius following suit.

After arriving at their cozy home, Jun went to open the secret compartment and where he had stored his scrolls however once he had opened it, there was nothing there.

…

"Steward…" the both of them said as the same time.

"We forgot to go back and get the scrolls and my… FUTON," said Julius as he grew to be menacing when he said the final word. Even though Jun had gone to Steward's kingdom to get his student the cloning scroll so that he could train while the clone got captured and war broke out between kingdoms, that never happened since the two of them forgot about the event and never spoke about it.

"Futon…" Julius simply said.

"Well, we have our next destination. Get back on the dragon, we'll be busy for a while," said Jun as the two of them walked out of the house and rode back on the dragon so that they could go to Steward's kingdom and wreak havoc on it.

"Futon…" Julius kept repeating as he had gone mindless from remembering his treasured belonging. While it seemed like Julius wouldn't be a threat to Steward as he had basically shut down his brain, the opposite would be true as Julius was most dangerous when all thoughts in his head were shit down expect for a single one.

After arriving at Steward's kingdom, Jun forced his dragon to crash into the castle once again as he began to prepare himself for an all out war.

"Prepare yourselves to die!" Jun announced as he got off his Jade dragon.

"Come on, we just had that wall fixed a couple weeks ago!" one of the guards complained before looking at the majestic beast known as Jun's pet. Seeing it, all the guards began to run so that they could call apron Steward and the royal guards who can in rushing in with their full battle armour.

"I've been expecting you, JUN!" Steward yelled out as he came inside the hallway which Jun had crashed into.

"No no, I won't be in the battle. My student will be fighting you, and don't hold back against him," Jun announced with a smile.

…

"Futon…"
