Focus Chapter 71

A platform shining in rays of gold and swirling complex patterns appeared in the sky, slowly expanding . Dyon's face was the picture of focus, he sat on the ground, his hands brought together as the fire of his aurora raged larger and larger around him in a purple gold color reserved for those who had broken past the 4th stage .

The array Dyon was using was surprisingly a simpler version of the creation array found at Focus Academy . Although this raised many questions for Dyon, he had no choice to accept it . He assumed it was yet another formation taken from the remnants of the Celestial Deer Clan .

Planks of wood began to manifest from the array, coating the sturdy branches of the tall trees . Pathways, hallways, and rooms continued to appear as the beads of sweat increased on Dyon's brow .

He built exits and stair cases, filled rooms with low level books from the Celestial Deer Sect and playgrounds he used to love as a kid . He built pools and sports areas . The entire structure was larger than even the village behind him, and that was all the more reason why blood was seeping out of the corner of Dyon's mouth .

However, he didn't allow himself to give up . He built massive fence structures and elaborate defensive arrays . He poured Celestial Will into the soil around the trees, improving their strength and better fertilizing the lands for food . He placed protective arrays around so that the high up nature of the structure would never lead to the death of a child .

In the end, he looked up at his work to find an elaborate tree house . It was filled with slides from room to room . Dyon had even equipped the structure with games from the human world like basketball, soccer and football . Because he knew it was likely the children had never heard of the games before, he added information transfer arrays as well .

Finally, after hours, he lowered his hands, breathing heavily as he coughed up blood .

"big brother!" Little Lyla rushed over to Dyon, worried .

It was only then that Dyon realized he had been the subject of an audience for many hours now . He had been so focused that he hadn't noticed .

"you're… your soul stage is already at the 5th level?" Ri looked at Dyon like she was looking at a monster .

Dyon chuckled, but was too weak to say anything . All he could do was enjoy Little Lyla patting his face to see if he was okay, he found it adorable .

"do you like it Little Lyla?"

Lyla looked at Dyon with sympathy that could melt a heart, "I love it big brother," she said with tears in her eyes . It had been a long time since anyone had gone above and beyond for the orphans, let alone caused themselves physical pain for them .

Dyon patted Lyla's light pink hair while bringing her into his arms . He raised them on an array platform and turned towards the crowd .

"This is a place I've created for the orphans of the Elvin Kingdom . This isn't a place for adults, and I won't tolerate anyone pretending that it is . Although many of you need help as well, I don't think anyone would think that they deserve more help than a child who has lost their parents . I promise you, if I find anyone doing such a thing, I'll kill them . "

Dyon turned a warm gaze to the children huddled around Little Black, "this is your new home now . You can eat, sleep, and grow up comfortably . I'll find you teachers when I enter the city . But, for now, go in and enjoy yourselves . No one deserves anything less for their childhood . "

The children looked at Dyon with varying expressions . But, it was mostly excitement . The delightful sound of children's laughter filled the village as the ran to the tree house, jumping around on the slides and choosing their rooms . Dyon watched all of this with a smile before gliding over to Ri who had a few middle-aged women with her .

"do any of you have kids of your own?" Dyon asked them .

The women nodded . They were a bit worried and apprehensive about Dyon . Many of them had never seen a human before, let alone a human who was willing to help their children even when their own government wasn't doing the same . They thought there might be an underlying motive behind it . They weren't as naïve as children, there couldn't be anything so good in this world . So, they had their guards up .

"I've set up rooms for you all as well . I don't mind you bringing in your families and leading a good life . However, if I hear that any of you have done anything untoward, I'm sure you understand what that'll mean," Dyon said with a serious expression .

Although he understood where these women were coming from, actions were louder than words when it came to gaining trust . There was no point in saying anything at all . The women understood this as well . At least they were willing to acknowledge that this Dyon might lead them to a better outcome than what would have been had the orphans been led to the Norville family or any of the other 8 major families of the Elvin Kingdom .

Dyon, after saying this, finally turned to Ri, "the day's already gone, how about we rest?" he said with a smile, "We can head out tomorrow . "

Ri smiled lightly and nodded . She knew Dyon was too tired to do much else anyway, so she obliged .

'I can't help them like this right now… But I'm glad that you can…'
