Chapter 66: The Challenge **Kael's Room**"What was that all about?" Kael asked Freya. She sat on the bed, her tunic beside her, while he perched on the reading table."What was what about?" she retorted, causing Kael to scoff."Thou wouldst feign ignorance.""I know, but I am not prepared to speak of it," she replied, and Kael stood."Thou knowest what? I should have ignored thee instead of being dragged into thy mess.""Our mess. Thou art my master, and I thy servant. Thy troubles are mine, and mine are thine," she said, turning to face him."Thou usest me to free thyself from whatever clutches ensnare thee. I am sorry if thou art disappointed," he said before leaving the room."Disappointed," she mumbled to herself. "I am sorry I cannot reveal anything to thee, Kael, but I expect no disappointment from thee." She sobbed quietly, clutching the bedsheet as Dogo entered the room.She quickly jumped up and grabbed her tunic."What art thou doing in my room, miss?" Dogo inquired."I am
Chapter 67: The Duel****The News of the Challenge between Mei Ling and Qin Feng spread all around the walls of Nevermore Academy. This is the first time in history of Nevermore for a Basic student to challenge a Departmental student - a Noble student of the Military Department. It was noon already, Everyone gathered in the open field waiting for the fight to commence. A ring has been created and some students have started placing bets. It's a combat signed by the authorities of the Nevermore Academy. A combat prize is the instructor of the Basic classes. Qin Feng stepped into the ring causing the crowd to cheer happily. He was donned in his navy blue tunic, a white shirt and a black trouser. His boot was different from the others and his scabbard was tied to his back. He's all ready and all set, waiting impatiently to finish off Mei Ling and finally win his prize. Last night, he was dreaming of the wonders he'll perform with Professor Astrid. He couldn't wait - He just couldn'
Chapter 68: The Duel II“Wanna surrender?” Mei Ling asked with a smirk which infuriated Qin Feng the more. “I underestimated you, Mei Ling. You proved to be a worthy opponent but now you'll face my wrath.” Qin Feng declared when he flinged one sword towards Mei Ling who reacted by flinging his two axes. Qin Feng slapped the two axes away with his sword while Mei Ling caught the sword by the blade and twirling it when he held it at the right position as the two faced each other. “Mei Ling.. This is your end.” Qin Feng declared when he stabbed the ground with his sword causing a straight line to appear on the ground heading towards Mei Ling. “Swordsman Technique: Earth Flare.” Qin Feng cried out when he twisted the sword stabbed to the ground causing dozens of blades to flare up all heading towards Mei Ling’s direction. Mei Ling leapt into the air evading the first dozen of blades and then tightened his hands on the hem of the sword as he countered the Earth flaring swords while de
Chapter 69 [Military Department VS The Basic Class] “Kael Stoneforge.” The four students exclaimed all at once as they stated at the figure standing in their middle with a surprise look. “Hehehe.. That was a lame attack you threw there. I was able to deflect it with a single strike.” Kael chuckled lightly when a smirk appeared on his face. “I'm 100% sure you aren't the one that deflect the attack Kael. What can a looser like you do?” Qin Feng asked causing the others to burst laughing. Even Mei Ling didn't believe that it was Kael who had saved him from his brutal fate. “Hmph.” Kael inhaled heavily and placed his both hands in his pocket. “Master.. You're wonderful.. Show them that they're the looser not you.” Freya screamed out her lungs and Kael chuckled. “My Servant has spoken.. The four of you against me… afterall, I'm a basic class student… I can't watch you imbecile….” He couldn't complete his speech when Ming charged against him at once with a loud cry when he leapt int
Chapter 70: Kael Won “Why did you save me?” “Why would I save you?” “I don't know. Maybe you want to prove that you're not a looser.” Mei Ling answered causing Kael to chuckle. They were both standing at the window of the Basic Classroom staring at the sun which was setting. “Prideful but not selfish. What a twist individual you're.” “I'm not proud. I just dislike you.” Mei Ling stated. “Why? Oh.. I get. Because I'm a Noble. You dislike all nobles isn't it? and your request is for the commoners to be in the same standard with the nobles.” Kael explained and Mei Ling smirked. “Who will thought you're this smart?” He asked prompting Kael to let out a short laughter. “You can never tell.. Afterall, I was abandoned by someone I needed the most, so I've to work things out by myself.” “Whatever.. It doesn't change the fact that you saved not just me but the whole Basic Class and Professor Astrid. I owe you one and I'm ready to pay to make us even.” Mei Ling said to him. “How abou
Chapter 71: Kael and the QueensThe outcome of the Challenge between the Military Department and the Basic Class had a significant effect on Nevermore Academy and on Kael.Many people who had looked down on him now respected him, while others saw him as a threat, earning him more enemies. Despite this, many people wanted to befriend him, but Kael wasn't the type to be easily cajoled. He wasn't the kind to normally mingle with others. He believed this habit was related to his past world. He always wanted to be alone and had almost achieved that, except for the lady who claimed to be his servant.Freya was seen walking behind him in the labyrinthine halls as they headed towards the office of Miss Zara, who happened to be Kael's instructor.It was a new day, and Kael had been summoned by Miss Zara to her office. He had completely forgotten about the summoning. It was Freya who reminded him and insisted on following."We could just warp there," Freya complained bitterly. They had Teleport
Chapter 72: His Servant Kael faced the four girls with fierce determination in his eyes. They stood ready, each exuding a powerful aura. Sarai, the girl with the eye patch, stepped forward with a smirk."You thought you could get away scot-free, huh? You took my toy away from me. The rest may be scared of you, but I'm not. I'm Sarai, and these are my comrades: Elara, the mage," she said, pointing to a girl with silver hair radiating magical energy. "Rhea, the swordswoman," she gestured to a tall girl with short black hair holding a long sword. "And Vesper, the enchanter," she finished, indicating a petite girl with dark green eyes and an air of mystery around her."You're outnumbered, and I'll make you plead for mercy," she concluded.The hallway was filled with students eagerly watching the confrontation, whispers buzzing among them.Kael took a deep breath, knowing he had to be cautious. The last thing he wanted was to harm any innocent bystanders. He adjusted his stance, readying
Chapter 73: Freya was Poisoned "How is she? Has she woken up?" Kael asked immediately after the nurse stepped out of the ward Freya was admitted into."No. She hasn't woken up yet, but she's responding to treatment," the nurse replied, causing Kael to gnash his teeth. The feeling to kill those four girls overwhelmed him that even the nurse could see the terror in his eyes."You can go see her, but do well not to disturb her," the nurse said before leaving his sight quickly, before he could direct his anger at her.Kael quickly rushed into the ward and slowly shut the door so that the noise wouldn't disturb her. She lay on a stretcher with a drip connected to her hand, and her eyes were closed.Kael went closer and grabbed one of her hands. He sniffed in the tears that threatened to roll out of his eyes."How could you take such a risk, Freya?" he asked, looking at her calm face, hoping she'd provide him with an answer."You took the blast knowing fully well it would result in this.
