Celestial Bloodline
chapter-175

Nine left the training ground and dragged his body to the dorm.

The moment he entered the room, he slumped on the bed and closed his eyes instantly.

After a while, he stood up and looked at the small circular mirror hanging outside the wardrobe.

He gazed at his moist eyes. Soon, small red veins appeared underneath his eyes and he winced with pain.

"I don't even know if it's a blessing or curse."

He rubbed his eyes with a painful expression as he sat down on the bed with a sigh.

Even though his expression looked calm his mind was racing because a moment ago he saw something again.

It wasn't something anyone could know because the thing he saw hadn't happened yet.

"A powerful ability? Huh?"

He scoffed at himself and buried his face in the pillow.

'I should not have been born with this ability. My elder sister already had it so why do I have it?'

Nine knew his ability wasn't high-rank like his sister but it was something gifted to him from birth.

In every generation, one member of the royal family would awaken this ability but after his sister, he also started seeing visions. At first, he thought they were just nonsense and never focused on them because the visions only appeared when he touched someone's skin directly. They were random and he would see only one vision in months.

After he turned 16 and awakened his talent everyone was shocked because, through the talent awakening Crystal, it was proved that just like his sister he had the unique ability to see the future.

Even though his mother the Queen tried her best, the news traveled fast around the whole Kingdom.

The ability holders were revered as someone great from ancient times that's why after the people protested, the Queen went into a dilemma.

The future Queen was already decided as her beloved daughter would inherit the throne in the future. That's why to appease the people his mother who never even glanced at him after giving birth to him increased his status among his other siblings and he was given the right to do everything he wanted.

"They didn't even know a prince named Nine existed but when they heard that I also awakened the special ability, they wanted to get on my good side. Why? Just because those so-called ancestors left behind some strange rules. Huh? I hate these types of people! A bunch of hypocrites!"

Nine gazed turned sharp. He hated everyone from the palace. They all neglected him when he needed them the most but came running when he was useful.

That's why after he was given freedom and high authority he left his home. At first, he wanted to wander around and didn't have any specific plan in mind but then while traveling he heard about the Royal Academy.

His interest was piqued after hearing about Principal Ratric and just for fun he registered for the test. His presence inside the test was almost invisible because he wasn't strong. His parents never had any expectations of him that's why he didn't work hard like his siblings who were always trying their best to be noticed.

Even though he didn't show anything remarkable in the entrance test, he passed the first two rounds with extreme difficulty.

When the third round, 1Vs1 battles among the participants started after the first clash he was going to give up but then he almost coughed out blood on the stage when he heard someone shouting from behind.

"Mark my word! You have zero chance of winning with how slowly you are attacking."

Nine snapped, he dodged the opponent's attack and looked back at the person who was giving remarks on his battle.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he saw a familiar person sitting luxury among the Academy teachers will a satisfied expression.

'Isn't he the one who got the lucky spot and didn't need to fight in the final round?'

He thought inwardly with a frown and dodged another attack from his opponent when another remark was thrown his way.

"Defend yourself! Do you even have a brain?"

Nine stopped himself from rolling his sleeves and going down to beat the shit out of the person who seemed to be enjoying himself.

His anger increased when another remark resounded in his head. With a dark expression, instead of the culprit he punched and kicked his opponent to calm his nerves.

He didn't even notice when he won the match and entered the Academy with the other students.

'Damn it! I just wanted to see the Royal Academy entrance test! How the hell did I lose my mind just because of some terrible remarks?'

He cursed inwardly and glanced at the culprit with angry eyes. The person looked ordinary with deep black eyes but for some reason the corners of his hair were silver.

Nine took a deep breath to calm down and saved the person's face in his mind for future revenge.

Before the Academy tested everyone's talents, his identity was exposed to the Vice Principal by some shitty people who were following him from the shadows without his knowledge. In the end, when he snapped they gave him a reason that they wanted to protect him.

Nine controlled himself and soon he saw a familiar face stepping on the stage to test his talent. It was the strange boy who remarked on his performance during the 1Vs1 battles.

When the teacher called out the boy's name, he smirked evilly while mumbling the name slowly.

"Kyle. I am sorry but it seems I will take out my frustration on you!"

He was smirking when the teacher announced Kyle's talent with a nonchalant expression.

"(B)-Rank."

Nine almost tripped when he heard Kyle's talent.

'I thought he would be someone with a high talent when I saw him remarking everyone 1Vs1 battles like a master! Damn it! It's unfair, how can you curse others with so much confidence when you don't even have enough strength to protect yourself!'
