'Academe Sect Campus; Shelter Area'
Li is still watching from the students who are crying and feel down, he feel sorry for making his two friends cry but if that's the case then he think that it might be good if he talk to Heng on private area. Now that he think of it where how should he make his self notice to Heng, then a sudden sense of reaction where instructor Hui Ying notice something and Li mumbled to his self.
'(Wait, wait, wait, wait, did she notice me!? Hm?, Oh! so that was it... I thought instructor Hui Ying notice me. Wait a second... should I take this chance and make it as a part of my plan.... Hehehehe)'
What Li saw was a spirit beasts where it says on the top of their head [ Mold Eater ] - [Low Tier D] and [ Wind Wolf ] - [Low Tier B]. There were many of them but the students where not scared because it is in Low Tier. Li thought that his classmates can beat those spirit beast and there is still a barrier so he think that they will be safe.
Unfortunately instructor Hui Ying exhaust her energy, the barrier undergoes to a weak where it goes in beginner tier and instructor Mei saw her that she can't hold any longer. Mei decides to switch her because if Hui Ying will continue she might faint in any seconds, she agreed with Mei words then started to cultivate and regain her energy.
Instructor Mei wrap an earth barrier and command the students to attack the spirit beasts. It was fine for them, they easily beat the spirit beast outside of the barrier but at the Li saw a [ Wind Wolf ] [Normal Tier C] there were four of them on the side sneaking through the students and waiting an attack if they got near on the bushes.
When one of the students went near on the bush it was time to step out, the wind wolves initiate an attack. They jump and one of the student was startled, he stumbled and accidentally broke his ankle. The Wind Wolf's find their prey and closely attacking him but with a quick swift move, head of the Wind Wolf's is being chopped, that was Li but they didn't know it because he was wearing a black robe and black skeleton mask. He rush onto the remaining and using an ice sword normal tier1, slashing them apart. The students was surprise and ask who is he. Li make up something and said he was just a traveller where he pass a chaotic place and saw a students then rush onto this area.
That makes an understandable reason to make it real but Li's mind was nervous if they would not take it as an answer then it will be his doom. Since they were save they actually believe on him, so he thank to the students where they exchange gratitude as a thanks but then instructor Mei ask it if it will be all right taking off his mask, he was confirming it because he can't just trust a stranger who just went and show up to them moreover in their bad situation that they are facing right now, they don't know if someone make a plan like someone was making the spirit beasts rampage.
Instructor Mei add a word and said if he is not an enemy then he should at least remove the mask as a proof that he is not an enemy. The students was nervous too if it's true that he is an enemy, then they will only be in despair. They were waiting for him to remove the black skeleton mask. As an unknown boy Li smirk and said if proving his identity then he have no choice he turned back and in his mind he is shouting what should he do.
'(What now!, what now! what should I do. Huh? what is this? 'Mold Appearance'...?'
In Li's item he saw a mold and when he touch it, it says [Item: Mold ] - [ Mold Appearance x23 ]. He once touch again and feels like his face changed, he removed his mask and look at his system as mirror then saw a different face on him but for him there was a bit resemblance from his face. That surprised him and the mold appearance have a time limit where it says [ 5 days and 29 minutes].
'(Hoho!... That long?... what a useful item now I can continue my plan without worrying my appearance.)'
Li wasn't still turning and instructor Mei ask if there was a problem, Li then said he was only shy then turned around. He was nervous where he think what will there reaction be. It was pretty normal for them when they saw it but the face has the same appearance like Li and one of the students ask if he know Li.
Li twitch of surprised, he break a bit of cold sweat and his answer was.
'Ah, no I don't know him why do you ask?'
The student answered back and says that his face feel like he resembles Li. Li twitch and laugh half heartedly, instructor Mei then believe that he was not an invader or an enemy and welcomed him, he also thanks him for saving the students. Li didn't mind it and instructor Mei opened the barrier making a path to him.
The students entered again on the barrier along with Li and in his mind he talk to his self that his plan was success. Li wore again his mask then he look around where he saw Ah Cy and Heng, he firstly approach the students and started to talk about what happen to there place where the students also said the story about the one who save them. Li heard the long story to the students and make a saddened face of course it was part of his act then he make his move to approached Ah Cy and Heng.
'Um... I heard about the boy who sacrifice his self and save all of you. It was really inspiring such a kid with the same age as me was a brave boy than I thought. That's why if I were you you should stop crying because if he will see the face that you are making right now he will only be disappointed. So please... make your self braver and encourage your self in that way he will be proud to the both of you.'
Ah Cy calmed down by his words and she said that it makes her feel like it was Li's words. In Li's mind he talk to his self saying that it was really him but he can't just say it in front of Ah Cy. Ah Cy then thank him and she finally stop crying, she feel a bit happy while Heng he smiled once again and thank him too.
Heng reviewed the word of the mask man and remembered the word 'same age' then he looked at the mask man again, Heng think that he remembered something about Li. Then He shout as if he realized something in his memories and Li was startled where he ask if there was a problem to his attire. About that time instructor Hui Ying finished up regaining her energy and Heng was thinking for a moment, trying to remember something in his past week's.
'Ahh!! you! you are the mask boy right!? the one who save brother Li on the underground lake, is it you?!'
