Kill the Sun-Chapter 127 – Julian

The next day, after he had finished his work and got something to eat, Nick returned to Dark Dream.

He was about to meet his other teacher, the one who was supposed to teach Nick about his fist weapons.

When Nick came back to Dark Dream, he saw a new person waiting for him in front of Wyntor's office.

Naturally, Wyntor was also present, and the two of them were talking.

Nick assumed that this was his new teacher, but he wouldn't have guessed that based on the person's appearance.

The person was a very young man. At least, that was how he looked like.

He was about 170 centimeters tall, and he had this extremely bright and innocent smile.

Even more, his stature seemed very thin and agile. It was almost like the person was a sprinter or runner.

His hair was a calm blue, and he seemed like a very relaxed person.

But compared to Manela, this person wore the uniform of an Expert from Kugelblitz, which meant he was much more powerful than Manela.

A level four Zephyx Extractor!

Someone on the same level as Albert!

Yet, he seemed so very different from Manela.

It was almost like their genders were reversed.

Manela was big, powerful, and dominant.

This guy was small, refined, and gentle.

After looking for a bit, Nick walked over.

The man slowly turned to look at Nick with his bright blue eyes and gently waved with a heartfelt smile.

"There you are, Nick," Wyntor said with a slightly excited voice.

Nick could tell that Wyntor really enjoyed talking to this guy based on his tone.

"Julian, this is your new student, my Chief Zephyx Extractor, Nick," Wyntor said, looking at the man and gesturing to Nick.

Julian smiled and offered his hand. "Nice to meet you, Nick. I'm Julian, and I'm going to be your trainer for fist weapons."

Nick looked at the hand for a bit and decided to shake it.

After meeting Manela for the first time, Nick had become a bit unsure whether or not he was supposed to shake the hand.

As soon as Nick touched Julian's hand, his eyes widened.

'So hard and rough!' Nick thought in shock.

It was like Nick had touched the hand of a humongous metallic titan that had been compressed into a tiny shape.

There was so much explosive power in the hand.

Nevertheless, the handshake was gentle, and Nick didn't feel any pain.

After Nick had felt Julian's hand, he actually looked at it.

It was like the hand didn't belong to the man in front of him!

While Julian seemed like a gentle and peaceful small boy, his hand was rough and filled with aggressive and powerful veins that expanded and shrunk in sync with Julian's heartbeat.

Naturally, Julian noticed Nick's reaction, but he only chuckled a bit and slowly pulled his hand back. "I get that reaction all the time," he said with a soft voice. "I take it as a compliment."

"Sorry," Nick said. "I didn't expect such a strong hand."

"Harmony and discord are two sides of the same coin," Julian said.

"Harmony requires gentleness, and discord requires power."

"You can only live in harmony when people don't want discord with you, but when people want harmony, you must be gentle. Otherwise, there is no harmony but only fear."

"Learning this principle will help you with your position," Julian said with a smile.

Nick listened intently and thought about Julian's words.

Nick took these words seriously since they came from an actual Expert.

Experts were the elite of Kugelblitz, and every one of them had incredible power.

'He's probably also far older than he looks,' Nick thought. 'Becoming an Expert would take me many years. Maybe even decades.'

'He most likely knows what he is talking about.'

"Thank you. I will remember that," Nick said.

Julian just nodded and turned to Wyntor. "Do you have a place where we can train?"

"There's a gym about 500 meters from here, but I don't think it is durable enough to withstand you," Wyntor said.

Julian laughed. "That's fine. I can keep myself in check."

Wyntor also laughed and told Julian where he could find the gym.

After a bit more talking, Julian and Nick walked out of Dark Dream to go to the gym.

Nick subconsciously assumed a position behind Julian.

Julian just had this irresistible Aura of reliability, power, and trust.

He subconsciously made people want to follow him.

Julian didn't look at Nick, who was following behind him, and only shook his head a bit with a helpless smile.

"Can I ask you something?" Nick asked after some hesitation.

"Sure," Julian said, turning to Nick with a smile.

"You're an Expert, right?"

Julian nodded wordlessly.

"Don't take this the wrong way, but why is someone as powerful as you teaching a Newbie like me?" Nick asked. "I don't think Wyntor has the funds to hire someone like you."

Julian laughed a bit. "Of course he does."

Nick raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"After all, my services are not very expensive."

"In fact, I'm not getting paid at all."

This surprised Nick even more.

"But then, why?" he asked.

"I'll tell you when we are there," Julian said with a playful smirk.

Nick was still confused, but he followed after Julian.

After some minutes, the two reached the gym and entered.

The gym was a huge hall that was nearly a hundred meters long.

Gyms like these catered to normal people and Zephyx Extractors.

After all, where was a Zephyx Extractor supposed to find a place to exercise?

If a Veteran accidentally kicked a wall, the wall would break into pieces and fly away.

Of course, since this gym was in the Outer City and not the Inner City, it only catered to normal people and Newbies.

As soon as the two of them entered, the trainer at the counter looked at Julian like he was a Specter.

The trainer immediately told Julian that he was so sorry, but he couldn't offer a training room for someone this powerful.

Julian just assured him that he wasn't the one training and that he wouldn't damage anything.

Eventually, the trainer relented and gave the two of them a room for free.

He was using the opportunity to get some publicity.
