The dark engulfing the environment dissipated revealing the sight of a ripped muscular man. Standing in an offensive stance, his fists glowed as if they were light bulbs. For some strange reason he seemed to have some kind of issue with him at the moment. Though that did not grab his attention in the slightest. What drew him in was large dome like structure he was currently in. 'Ryder, you must be dreaming. Right?' It was a large field which was surrounded by chairs meant for an audience. Funnily enough he didn't realize that the audience was already there. All around, he could see the crowd cheering on for reasons unknown to him. 'Uniforms?' Yes, all the people cheering had school uniforms on. Even he had a uniform on, confusing the shit out of him. 'They are all students? I am a student? What the heck is going on?', Ryder questioned himself. Among the audience were elderly people giving off insane amounts of pressure with their stares. His heart felt like

The two hours class went by quicker than expected with Ryder focusing on what was being taught with all of his attention. Meanwhile, Brenna had the perfect opportunity to think about her master's recent behaviors. It couldn't be described as anything but strange. Upon reaching the end of the class, the teacher Mr. Dime decided to carry out a practical to demonstrate something on magic. Ryder's eyes widened during this moment as he anticipated what was about to happen. This of course did not do anything for the teacher but add pressure on him. "Just like I said, magic is performed when magicules are harnessed by magic users. It is a simple process. First absorb the magicules in the environment." Ryder could clearly see white colored particles moving in the air. In a few seconds it made a magic symbol that was visible to the human eyes. "It is important that you imagine what you want to do when you are absorbing these magicules. This will ultimately determine th

A determinant Ryder dropped off from his chariot observing every detail of his environment. He immediately noticed the large number of people that were entering into the school. The question was, were they all students from the school or did they just come to witness the fight? 'Is this match really that important', Ryder couldn't help but wonder. His attention was dragged away by Brenna who got off the chariot shortly after. Her eyes was brimming with a hint of doubt and confidence. Surely it was because she wanted to believe her master was not going to lose this time. Ryder looked her in the eye before holding and squeezing her hand lightly. He wanted to tell her everything was okay, though he knew that it wasn't his place to do so. It was him that was going to get his ass beat anyways. The two walked into the school attracting a large number of eyes like last time. This time with the help of Brenna, Ryder was able to know where the path way to the dome was

The ride back home was quiet as expected. Ryder on the other hand had more emotional energy radiating from him more than usual. Brenna who was an expert at reading his emotions felt all of this, however she chose to remain silent. Upon reaching the castle, Ryder dropped off heading to his room without any form of hesitation. Opening his door and jumping on the bed, Ryder dived deep into his thoughts with a rather stern expression. It was soon discovered that he did not come out for the entirety of that day. Sun rays flashed on Ryder's eyes as he laid asleep in bed. Opening his eyes, he realized that it was a brand new day. His early morning routine always included the sun invading his eye lids. Even though he wished this could be changed, he was starting to get use to it. Sitting up on his large bed, Ryder noticed the maid who was bending over as usual. At this point he was starting to believe this was her own morning routine. Perplexed, Ryder gave a confused look at

Ryder and Lassie dropped off at the academy just as planned while Vienna left in search of Brenna. Upon getting to the academy, Ryder had no idea where to go, however Lassie pointed towards the academy halls without him saying a word. He wasn't sure but it seemed like Vienna was aware he wouldn't be able to find this place. This caused him to feel slightly on edge. Walking through the halls of the academy, him and his fiancee eventually got to a tile of a different color than the one he knew. To be precise, this floor tile was black in color. Feeling hesitant about the whole thing he paused in place. Though he was assured things were okay by the calming look on Lassie's face. Stepping on the tile, the duo was transported to a room Ryder had never been in before. The room had a cosmic look just like the students training room, however it was different. Unlike the other, the space had a blue color and this place seemed to contain just a door room. "This should be y
