At that moment, he remembered being filmed and broadcast to thousands of people. Most likely, your actions were not very beautiful and ethically correct. Kayden pulled out a chair and sat down, while Felix looked like he was about to advance to another level. He moved away a little and decided to start his plans to be a star.
"Hello to the entire universe watching me. As you can see, I have no ethics or morals. If you’re looking for that, you can stop watching me," Kayden paused. "I’ll be honest with you, I’ll probably do actions that not even the worst rational being would choose to do. My only goal is power, and I will do anything to achieve it."
As Kayden spoke, the number of spectators began to increase rapidly. At the moment, he was just a beginner in this world, so viewers gave him the benefit of the doubt.
"I don’t have a fun personality, I don’t have plans to do suicide missions or things like that to gain viewers," his statements made some viewers lose some excitement. "What I propose is a fair exchange. Most of you don’t know how to fight and I’m sure of that. You may probably have great talents with various rays, but in the end, you are flowers in a greenhouse who dream of being great fighters but don’t lift a finger about it."
Kayden’s speech was accurate and touched many people’s emotions. The truth was that most planets were relatively peaceful, with combat mages different from ordinary mages. It was exactly like the city he was taking shelter in. Even people with high realms and great talent were just content with doing normal things.
"I can change your situation. I will teach you how to fight, think, and become a true mage," Kayden’s speech sounded very arrogant and... "Yes, my speech is arrogant, but I was born with a body useless for manipulating mana, in a world where the third kingdom makes you practically a king. And even so, I invented my techniques, I invented my path with my own hands. It doesn’t matter if your kingdom is superior to mine, if you don’t know how to fight, I will teach you. But to do that, I need to be able to open private streams, something that only in category E might be possible."
Kayden paused for a few seconds as he watched Felix finish the advancing process as if it were nothing, practically a slightly shorter sleep for the beast. Whatever race Felix was, Kayden was sure it was scary.
Its number of viewers was at half a billion at this point and seemed to be increasing rapidly. It would probably reach category E when it gets close to 1 billion. Within the system, there was a metric showing the percentage missing for each rank and, at that moment, it was at 54%.
"For now, I will continue hunting mages in this storm and killing them. When I reach E rank, I will schedule the date for the first private lesson so that everyone has time to prepare. The cost will be as low as possible."
After that, Kayden didn’t say anything else and just started hunting mages so he could get some rain. The amazing thing was that he didn’t even have to look very far. Every few hundred meters, someone was waiting to be killed.
Kayden faced some people with six rays in the fourth realm and it was a good battle. He didn’t need to take 100% of his strength, but he still had to pay close attention to not die.
About two days later, Kayden killed dozens of people and got a few hours of rain. Furthermore, his viewers finally grew to the minimum E-Rank mark. His promotion was notified by the system.
"In an hour, we will begin private broadcasting. The price will be a universal currency. Today’s topic is going to be the basic foundations for making your plan," Kayden said this and, when it was time, he built a small platform in the air where he could sit with an armchair.
The process to open the transmission was easy and didn’t cost him more than two moves. The participant count grew by the second. Kayden waited a full ten minutes before closing the input requests. In total, around 10 million people entered. It was a much lower amount than the number who were watching him, but it was something to be expected.
"Very well, you paid to be here to change your minds or just satisfy your curiosity, but it doesn’t matter. First, I want you to ask yourself three questions: what is your current skill level, what is your motivation, and what are you willing to sacrifice for power."
Kayden waited a few minutes for everyone to think about their answers. In the meantime, he studied the transmission options a little. For example, he could leave this class recorded for other people to purchase in the future. He chose to leave this option open and allow people to make short videos of certain moments to post on social media.
"Of all the questions, the only one that matters is the last. You will sacrifice a lot of time to achieve something great. Abandon the idea of friends and social events. Dedicate ten years of your life to 100 years of success. First, let’s start with the basics."
Kayden made some mana puppets in the air with great mastery. Each of them carried a different weapon or element.
"Society must have gotten it into their heads that training more than one element or weapon is something that would make them different, a genius among so many people, but that is the biggest idiocy there is. Always remember that there is no master of all things," the puppets began to fight in the air.
Some carried different elements and always seemed to have an advantage, but when they faced one of the dolls with only one element, their defects became apparent, as the strength of just one maximized element was much greater.
"Choose something you like, it doesn’t matter if it’s considered weak or has no future, just choose it. This moment will define your entire journey. If you are already in the high realms, just focus on what you do best or, if you want to take a step beyond mediocrity, break your cultivation and start over."
Kayden’s sentence was like a bolt of lightning in viewers’ heads. What he was proposing was something very radical: sacrificing a lot just for power, exchanging an entire life for another chance that could go wrong.
The class lasted about three hours, and Kayden explained the advantages and disadvantages of each element and weapon he knew, showed how to maximize and choose his spells, and where to direct his training.
"The next class will be in a week. I will let you know the topic a day in advance." With that, Kayden hung up and went back to hunting people within this storm. As the days went by, he began to gain fame abroad.
Kayden wasn’t the first to take private classes of this style. Many people did this to get a higher rank, but none of them did it for such a cheap price and, at the same time, taught such basic things. Most did only one of these two things.
No matter how many people Kayden killed within this storm, there would always be someone else. The number of people was practically infinite. This week, Kayden faced some people with seven rays and had to run away with his tail between his legs, it was still too big a force for him to face.
A week later, Kayden taught his second class. The number of people tripled in this second class, and its growth was clear. For the next rank, he would need something close to 10 billion people watching him. At the moment, he was at 1 billion and a few hundred million.
The theme of his second class was how to learn to fight alone, without the help of other people or resources. Kayden’s recommendation was to face beasts from a lower realm in some forest and not kill them. They should just use this as training to resist the killing intent.
On planets that did not have easily accessible forests, he recommended looking for underground fight clubs. They would probably take a lot of beating before they started to see any results, but that would be the quickest method.
Kayden finished that class and returned to town. He still had to teach another class on the ship, this time he just kept introducing killing intent. I could probably do this for the next few months with ease.
After that he went back to his room and started to digest all the knowledge he had in a short time, his focus was only on his path and he was making little progress, but he still had some progress, the problem was that he was moving at a fast pace. turtle, but in the end it would be worth it.
