The Inheritor 43 Depressed Fran

"In fact these are not ordinary jades they are precious spirit products, these are called Inscribed Jades they are actually the most important resource for practicing any art or manual or skill."

All the Inscribed jades are costly and one-use or disposable; once it's bound to you it will become useless piece of jewellery. So every student can only read the Art when Inscribed Jades are bound to them."

Fran glanced at Quinn before turning away, the entire journey was silent as the students were either digesting info about the inscribed jades or reflecting on their choice of the art to check if was due to destiny.

They returned to Dusty Zephyr Island on their flying clouds, Fran didn't want the kids to experience another round of sad journey on his Mourning Ship. Once they reached the old building, Fran ended the cla.s.s and dispersed them.

*******

Back in Fran's study, after going inside room he locked the door and sat on his favourite old chair and took out Celia's photos, videos, her gifts, and many other stuffs he took out anything that he had which was related to her. He reminisce all the joyous past memories he spent with her through these items.

Ben emerged from the woods when all the students left, then he went to Fran's study to check on him as he was acting oddly throughout day, from the shiny dress till sending of the kids without properly instructing them about Body refining art.

He had never done such abnormal things, so he was worried and thus he decided to go to Fran's study. When tried to open the door it didn't budge as it was locked, fortunately Ben never had the habit knocking the door thus Fran wasn't disturbed.

Fran was adoring every single article on the table while reminiscing his past with Celia, though she was gone and he has moved on it didn't change it fact that she was his very first love.

Ben patiently waited outside the room, as he was sure that there was something wrong with Fran. In fact, normally Fran would have realized the moment Ben can down the corridor, but because he was deeply immersed in recollecting his cherished memories with Celia he didn't realize Ben even after he tried to open the door.

After few hours, Fran woke from his dreams unwilling when realized that someone was waiting for him outside the door. Then he identified that it was Ben through his breathing.

Thus, he didn't rush over to open the door instead he took all the articles into the spatial ring and freshened up a bit before opening the door. He changed to his standard cyan robe with mild white strips.

Ben was patiently waiting his friend; he didn't make any sound instead stood like a statue in front of the door. But he didn't conceal his breathing to indicate that he was the one standing outside.

After several hours, Fran opened the door in his standard outfit, looking at the dress Ben let a small sigh but he didn't ask anything.

"Let's have a drink."

Fran didn't explain about anything; he didn't even bother to apologize to Ben for making him wait for hours together. Fran and Ben were sworn brothers so he there was no place for artificial apology. Ben simply followed him; they went to the old building's terrace.

Both of them sat on ordinary olden wooden chair, Fran stared at the starry sky while Ben gave him quiet company. After a long time, Fran took out a bottle of wine, Yellow Tyrant Wine one of the costliest and rarest Wine in Unigux.

Ben was taken aback seeing such a precious wine, but he still maintained the silence waiting for Fran. They slowly and soundlessly savoured the divine wine.

Though the Yellow Tyrant Wine was heavenly, Ben neither felt drunk nor did he enjoy the drink. With proper mood even an ordinary rice beer would be divine and blissful; in absence of proper mood even the best of the wine could taste like water.

Finally, after finishing the wine Fran threw a ring to Ben, the moment Ben explored the ring he felt like thousands of bolts of thunders struck his head and he immediately jumped from the chair.

Ben stared dumbly at Fran for a long time, and then he cried out aloud

"Is it really true, did someone really choose 'Herculean Muscle Art', HAhahaha" Ben couldn't contain his excitement this was his not only his greatest desire the urge to upkeep his master's legacy had long turned into his heart demon.

Though he stubbornly believed that someone would choose Herculean Muscle Art but after waiting for such a long time he started to lose confidence in the destiny, but heaven didn't let him down.

Although reaching Complete mastery (stage -7) in Herculean Muscle Art is nothing short of a miracle at least there is some hope for getting rid of the restriction placed on Herculean Muscle Art.

Not only would he preserve his master's last wish; he could also further break through.

Before he could celebrate and get to know more about the student who selected Herculean Muscle art, he noticed Fran glum face and understood the pain he was going through.

But Ben didn't return the ship or console his brother he was well aware of his friend's tenacity and he was the worst when come to consoling others. So trying to return the Mourning Ship would be futile and he was clueless when it came to coaxing.

Ben went over and patted Fran, "I will call Kelly."

Ben just told that he would call Kelly but didn't explain further, but Fran understood that Ben was going to tell everything to Kelly and ask her to return. Fran wasn't against it as he really wanted to use her help.

Ben didn't ask about Boris or Herculean Muscle Art he just quietly left the building, leaving Fran alone in the terrace. Ben believed that he could find Boris through the records so he didn't poke Fran.

One must remember that Ben is the head of Dusty Zephyr Island, he has the highest authority over the island, and hence he could check the records of the Body refining Art the students of Dusty Zephyr Island. Ben checked the list of records and found Boris and his roommates, he was shocked seeing the art they have selected.

'This year's freakiest dorm has been decided'

Ben thought and pitied other students. Then he suddenly vanished from the island.
