Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 19

Many students flocked towards the duo as soon as they reached class. Of course, it was just because both of them had an innate wind chamber.

Having an innate wind chamber meant the two had a chance of becoming gliphists in the future. After Chor Shing Chits previous explanation, the students knew how vital a gliphist was. Even if they only became a one-chambered glipher, they would need someone to tattoo gliphs on them, which would cost a fortune. Moreover, the cost of ingredients for the tattoos had yet to be included. The more powerful a gliph was, the more precious the ingredients were.

Thus it was beneficial to befriend gliphists. It might allow one to get a discounted or free gliph, maybe even a personalised gliph.

Thats the reason why many gliphers worshipped and had close relationships with gliphists.

However,this was something that Lam Ming had never experienced before.He subconsciously hid behind Chui Yim, tugging at the corner of his shirt. As per usual, Chui Yim glanced at the students emotionlessly before returning to his seat with Lam Ming, looking out of the window immediately after settling down. It was as if he overlooked the students who were trying to befriend him.

His attitude upset many students, but it also made them admire him at the same time.

Ever since day one, Chui Yim had treated everyone in the class in the same manner. Nothing had changed, except that Chui Yim was no longer a country bumpkin but a possible future gliphist now.

Having the aptitude is good, but it doesnt determine ones success. A voice filled with jealousy rang across the class; it belonged to Chan Ngou Tin. Talents might die young too.

To his dismay, Chui Yim kept looking out of the window, acting like he didnt hear him and that the birds outside were much more interesting than him. Chui Yims actions nearly made Chan Ngou Tin burst into anger on the spot.

Ever since the day I met him, I feel like things havent been going my way! Its so frustrating!

Youre Lam Ming, right? Chan Ngou Tin looked at Lam Ming.

Hearing his name, Lam Ming shot up from his seat. Yeah Yes. His timid behaviour confused his classmates.

Come and sit here, Chan Ngou Tin said, smirking.

Huh huh?

I said, come here.

Lam Ming looked at Chui Yim hesitantly.

Does your hand still hurt? Chui Yim said, turning towards Chan Ngou Tin.

Ah? Chan Ngou Tin was taken aback by Chui Yims words. He instantly understood that it was referring to the hand that Chui Yim grabbed. The bruise was still there even now!

Chui Yim stood up and looked around the class. From today onwards, Lam Ming is under me. Dont blame me for being cold-blooded if I see you bullying him, Chui Yim said slowly. This was a childish move, but he knew that Lam Ming would be extremely bothered if he didnt do this. Moreover his cooking skills have bought me off. I never want to eat from that canteen again.

Chor Shing Chit entered the class at the same time, putting a stop to the drama.

I have an announcement today regarding changes in our timetable. Chor Shing Chit said, his eyes falling on Chui Yim for a moment. Our fitness class thats held twice a week will be held on the same day, Friday. So we will have two fitness lessons on Friday.

Chui Yim looked up, slightly taken back as if something passed his mind.

Chui Yim! Chor Shing Chit said, There is no need for you to attend lessons on Friday. It will be your self-study period.

Why! Hearing Chor Shing Chit, Chan Ngou Tin stood up unhappily, objecting to the idea. Mr Chor, thats unfair!

Hpmf, theres nothing unfair about it. Chor Shing Chit sneered. Chui Yim has an innate wind chamber, which means he has the aptitude to become a gliphist. Theres much more for him to learn compared to you all. Oh, dont forget that he became the class captain because his stamina was better than yours. You can tell me that when youre stronger than him and also have the talent to become a gliphist.

You too, Lam Ming. You can choose to do self-study during our fitness lessons, but I suggest you still attend as youre too weak physically and should exercise more.

Yes okay. Lam Ming answered weakly as if he was a coward instead of a talented child with an innate wind chamber.

After class, instead of returning to his dorm, Chui Yim went out of Learners Street.

Being a metropolis, you could describe it as a huge tree. With Southern End Avenue as the trunk, it branched out into different streets, forming Southary. For example, Learners Street was one of the many branches.

Except for the first day with Chui Tin, this was Chui Yims first time walking around Southern End Avenue on his own. Knowing that it was unsafe to be wandering on his own as a kid, he wore the white coloured uniform of the Riding Clouds Academy. As there were gliphers in each academy, it would deter those with ill intentions away from him; not everyone could afford to offend a glipher.

After some time, Chui Yim arrived at his destination, Southarys Weapon Street.

Just like its name suggested, it was a street that sold weapons. As soon as Chui Yim entered the street, he could feel a strong, murderous aura. This was the home to numerous weapons, all of which were killing tools.

This was a familiar feeling to Chui Yim due to his past life. But this wasnt the world he was familiar with.

He entered a shop named Chan Clans Grass Hall. Weird weapons could be seen hanging on the door of the shop, which piqued up Chui Yims interest.

Hello.

Welcome A customer?

Hearing a voice, the shopkeeper, who was nearly asleep, jumped up. But there were no customers to be seen.

Im over here. A small hand reached out from below the counter and waved at him. The shopkeeper looked down to see a bald boy waving to him. Hello, Im a student from the Riding Clouds Academy. Im here to complete a school assignment on gliph weapons. I wonder if you can help me with it?

Riding Clouds Academy? The shopkeeper rubbed his chin. Such a familiar name, isnt this the school our young master attends?

Perhaps you know our young master, young master Ngou Tin?

This is Chan Ngou Tins shop? Chui Yim was elated to hear it.

Ngou Tin, right? Yes. Im very close to him! I just studied with him yesterday. He has an innate left hand, right? The shopkeeper let down his guard, seeing how Chui Yim could even point out Chan Ngou Tins innate chamber.

So youre our young masters friend, the shopkeeper said in all smiles. Which means that youre our Chan clans friend too. What can I help you with?

These weapons seem strange, how do you make them?

Haha. The shopkeeper laughed upon hearing Chui Yims question. Chui Yim might be bald, but he looked adorable thanks to Chui Tins beautiful genes.

This is the Chan Clans Grass Hall, so all weapons are of course forged using grass refining.
