‍‍‍‍‍" I know this is rushing things but lives are at stake . The school will be managed . I trust and hope we will be able to finish this matter soon.  Hopefully it doesn't spread to the humans", Kijad spoke with his back to Jakhyer.

The sun was slightly hidden in the clouds and his office that was encompassed by very long and large openings felt like a museum. Satin white drapes similar to those in his bedroom would casually move as the wind blew so carefully. Moderate humidity in the room introduced a refreshing scenery that eased the mood for the occupants inside.

Kijad s office is similar to Nalem's ,  just that his is a lot more bigger and there much more antiques and shelves. He does write a lot of documents that are sent to him from the capital since  sometimes they can't explain certain things and think they could be supernatural.But most of the documents in here are just some ancient scripts. With how many books Kijad has read , it seems that there is too much of a similarity in the books but that is a good thing since uniformity will help significantly when trying to understand a concept spanned across several texts.

Jakhyer sat quietly and less moodier looking outside the doors as some of the students passed by and smiled at him. 

" Do they have to come?", He questioned Kijad and his voice was dim and warm so he sounded concerned for their wellbeing than for the general cost of the journey itself.

The young sect leader replied that the students mentioned before are the best and would prove to be a significant addition to the team.

Jakhyer bit his lower lip as Kijad is acting unreasonable. He knows and understands very well what Jakhyer meant but why is he fumbling and acting like a monarch.

" You know we can't separate the royals and since one can't come , both should stay ", 

Why does he sound like he has some specific reason for them not to come? Surely it can't be that they are royalty.

" You helped point out . Of course Joln is not the King's relative but he is still close to the others so the king treats him like family. Plus even if you didn't suggest for anyone to come , Joln is among the best fighters and is an excellent chemical cultivator . Valian is obviously a great martial artists so both are highly beneficial to the team . ",  He told him like he was lecturing Adrian and Jakhyer seemed unconvinced the same way that Adrian does. 

" Sir, please understand that...", He failed to explain as there was a knock on the door. It was Ryle.

He looked beat as he stepped into the place . The masters acknowledged him and he the same . Even if he was absent through  the whole conversation , he could  so much pick up the tension on the air.

" Song, we are leaving tomorrow and there are students that we- I wish to bring. Make sure to have the message sent to them again immediately after this and have some servants help them pack what is needed. It's not clear how long we will be gone so have them bring all the essentials. The students are Claudia, Valian and Joln", he spoke and he eyed Jakhyer as he mentioned the last character.

Ryle wanted to say that this is sudden but he couldn't reason why. It's not like the students are going there for execution and if anything they are going there to watch how things are done since they are not yet at the stage where they can practice cultivation without any backfiring or supervision.

"Also have one more servant come. Suiyen!!",

"What!!", Ryle blurted out and the duo looked at him with confusion. He exclaimed so casually like he was talking to subordinates and not his bosses or potential killing machines. 

He felt akward and instead of apologizing for his lack of honorifics,  he went on to rampage his brain for  an escape.

" If Xiao'Rim comes, Xiao'An will most definitely want to tail along. And Xiao'An is the mentor for the royal trio so they will have to follow him . It's too many students and it's inexplicably risky as well. ", He explained and they stared at each other.

Kijad knows deep down that Adrian was going to come and even if he forced him to stay , those panthers called Yoro and his clan are going to tear Adrian to smithereens. He might fight back but he is dangerously impatient and would end up doing something more drastic than just killing them. As for Syin coming , Kijad still doesn't know what to think of it, so he thought of taking Adrian's advice which is why he called him here. But whatever the case something tells him that Syin has to come along.

" It's fine. We will just cut until we have five students. Claudia can stay, the trio will all come , yourself and  Suiyen", Kijad spoke in surrender. 

Ryle was speechless. He is having a nightmare with Joln right now and Herim is just a tick. Syin is another thing and Adrian is being moody. Kijad looks like a nuclear bomb and is very intimidating This is an awful combination of cultivators but they make a formidable team.

' agggggghhhhh!!!!! ', he just wanted to scream at his helplessness. He agrees with the force but he hates the components.

He feels like exploding into snow right now . He bowed and said he will carry out the order.  As he elevated from his pose he could already feel his back frozen and starting to crack. Him being ice and furious was making it hard to contain his serpents 

He turned back and he walked out of the room. What is ice called when it is fuming? Maybe it's called Song Ryle at this moment.?

" I didn't invite because they don't need that to come or stay", he told him and Jakhyer said he knows. He was talking about Ryle and Adrian. 

*****

(Later in the evening)

Ryle was outside the dorm rooms and he was holding a basket of warm food.

It was as expected overboardingly chilly outside but the servants were still running up and down the place fixing and arranging things for Kijad's departure. After it was made official who was leaving , the servants have been trying their utmost to make sure that the five students , ( little master being Adrian) inclusive of the masters are going to have a safe  and comfortable voyage. Plus two more servants were added to escort the masters as it was agreed that each master needs one who will tend to them and two who will tend to the students.Initially four servants were supposed to come but Kijad refused the proposal as it is too extreme and invasive.

This chaos has been going on for some days ever since the meeting . It's a long journey to the capital and the nearest hospitable place is atleast four nights away excluding the time it takes to cross the water around the school and the humongous forest that collectively take a day to safely cross without any luggage. 

The handsome librarian was really anxious about going inside the room but after what happened today he couldn't stop thinking about it and now that he is going to be with Syin for the whole duration of this trip until of course the king removes him, it's better to address the elephant in the room . He feels like what happened should have went down better than it did or atleast with less ice involved. He knows he startled Syin and he didn't mean to so. 

He exhaled for the tenth time as he braced himself to enter the room. Though if Syin wasn't the prince , he would be of a lower status that Ryle , Ryle is really nervous to encounter him.

He knocked on the door and as he did that he heard the door get shut inside the house . He knocked again and them he heard the door opener followed by some slow footsteps.

On his third knock , the doors of the dorm room were through open , revealing the crown prince of the kingdom of wolves, the best alpha swordsman in the hemisphere and the only golden-eye royal wolf that has ever walked into this school.

Syin looked very scrumpy as he started at Ryle. His normally brown eyes seemed a lot more golden as he was under the light and chill of the moon. His skin seemed so pale , his veins protruded and pulsated visibly. He looked like the pendant of Elia if it was personified and infused in silver serpents.

As for Ryle , he was incredibly non-humane. His skin was almost purple with ice and half his right iris was a glowing purple that ran out of his eye up to next to his mouth . The streak was more like a  crack than those on the backs of his hands or the sides of his thighs. Small portions of his neck that were revealed looked like scales of a dragon and seemed ashy like a decomposing corpse.  He could partially feel this transformation as the environment was equally cold as him . If anything it felt warm to him . So his brain just tricked him to think that he looked normal. 

" Uhmm, this is for you", he pointed the package to him and Syin grabbed it making sure not to touch him. Not because he was afraid of him but because his skin looks so fragile and his eyes make him appear like a lavender bud.

He didn't ask the meaning of the gift , so he just opened it infront of Ryle.  Inside were some dumplings that were stuffed to the brim with meat. They smelled nice but they looked like stones. Clearly someone doesn't know how to mold.

He stuck his hand inside and he took out the dumpling that he quickly stuffed in his mouth. They were tasted divine despite their unappetizing exterior. And as such he complimented Ryle who was oblivious.

Ryle said he hadn't tried the dumplings so to convince him of the taste , Syin held out another dumpling to him and Ryle subconsciously took a bit while it was still on Syin 's hand.

His cold lips slightly touched the dough and though they were not in contact with Syin in anyway, he felt their unique frost on his skin. Furthermore he was a lot more closer to Syin so his supernatural looks were brought to focus as any traces of purple on his body glowed and the scales decorating his epithelium seemed to syncopate to his breathing, mimicking the impression of a moving anaconda. It was so monstrous yet so beautiful, so hideous yet so perfect, so uncommon yet so breathtaking 

It was sudden for the both of them for Ryle to eat the dumpling like that, so Syin stared and Ryle just froze. Syin appreciated the view of Ryle and Ryle felt the spotlight. Three seconds from that Ryle let go and he gawked at Syin who was completely spaced out.

Slowly, slowly Ryle chewed the dumpling and he bowed to Syin before he walked away , resisting the need to run off.

With the quarter of a dumpling still on his hand, Syin half-blinked the dryness in his eyes. He felt so astounded by today's events and the best part was that they were all thanks to a single protagonist that had the appeal more finer than a lifetime of health and riches. 

He lowered the dumpling into the bag and as he did he noted the glowing of his skin. His veins were saturated by bioluminescent substance. 

When wolves grow up and start to develop instincts, they no longer need to really on what they know as their body literally tells them what to do or signals to certain things. All these signals are involuntary like the direction of blood flow or the level of oxygen in the body. So his bioluminescent reaction isn't something that he called to himself.

At this age and going forward, many wolves have it active and hide it well but when a stimulus comes and persists , the reaction can't be hidden.For example Herim has it  and now Syin.

This reaction though different , has a similar effect as a pheromone. It causes one to tense up and be very rigid upon encountering a stimulus. However with the reaction is that, the body can glow but the muscle tension only affects some parts of the body. Others it's the tummy were it continually rumbles, others it's the jaw bone and vocal apparatus and others it's the respiratory or reproductive system. Some wolves can't breathe easily or inspire nor exhale air without hissing. Other wolves have their genitals rock hard and thick whenever their veins glow. The latter is common in males while females have their breasts swell and change color at the same time becoming sensitive and pointy. Despite common belief,  the reproductive lasts the shortest time with the longest being one lunar month. But it's still the most interesting to explore. 

In conclusion, the stuffiness that Syin feels in his pants right now is all thanks to the above reason
