The recruits were over a hundred in number and they were all gathered in the trial room for the trial to begin. Donald and the other five knights were present in the room. The recruit knights were gathered all together and are waiting for instructions. "Listen up everyone... This recruit trial is orpanized so you will be assigned to your categories in the silver level of the knighthood. "We have different categories and each category is not more important than the other but always know that the benefits are different so work hard.". Donald instructed. "We have four categories in the knighthood: Earth, fire, air. and water. Each one represents something entirely different from the other and is all equally important. Each category is headed by a knight so do well.". Wilfred said and sat down. The recruits were asked to queue up for the trial to begin The first trail started with harnessing their gi to make a sound on a large bell. "Listen up everyone... The first trial will be ri
The recruits were taken into another part of the building for the second phase of the trial. The building was large and rectangular and at the center, there lies a large circular stone. The recruits were wondering what the trial will be like this time. They were all asked to queue up and get ready for the trial which will commence soon. The knights arrived one after the other most of them staring at Faul's group. "Everyone pay attention! All you need to do is very simple. You just need to push that rock over there to the finish line at the end of the room." Donald instructed. "You just need to enhance your strength with your qi and push that rock. Without that you can't achieve it.", Wilfred added as the knights sat down. The trial began immediately with everyone attempting to move the stone. Some succeeded in moving the stone to the finish line with difficulty while some couldn't complete the task. "I'm Morbius... I saw how well you and your friends performed in the bell tria
The recruits were led to the third phase stage of the trial. The room was very wide and a man in a Black cloak was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room. His face was bent toward the ground and no one could see his face. The recruits lined up as usual waiting for instructions from the knights but none of them took their eyes off the man sitting at the center of the room. "Listen up everyone... Here, this phase checks on your sword skills and how fast you are learning. You just need to follow the steps of the assassin knight after his demonstration. So pay close attention to his footsteps and skills displayed". Donald said giving the signal for the trial to begin. "Yes sir!", The recruits shouted in unison. The man at the center of the room stood tall and started demonstrating different skills over and over for the recruits to grab steps and skills. After the little demonstration from the assassin knight. The recruits were put up to trial one after another. Most of the
The recruits and the knights were all discussing the incident that took place in the third phase of the trial where faul refused to particle in the trial. The hnights kept discussing the incident because it is rare for such an incident to occur. "Hey... What happened why didnt you participate in the trial?". Phil whispered in Fautl’s ear. "| didn't see any reason to because those ace skills I know very well.", Faul replied as they kept walking towards the room for the final phase of the trial. The last trial is called the Pagoda fire of nine realms. The trial is called so because a participant is expected to enter the chamber and lit up the fire as long they have the potential to hold a large amount of gi. The chamber fs a circular stcucture that looks like the ancient Pagoda of the heavens. When the individual manages to light up the fice. they are unlochino what is called the first stage of gi instantly but otherwise. the participant will have to go through hard training to unloc
George left the room with anger and shame. He no longer has the face to stay and watch the trial with the others. “Who is that damn kid? Is he a mage? How is he able to talk directly into my mind?”. George thought. Initially, he wanted to call him out but on second thought he knew no one would believe him. Morbius knew at the moment he was no match for Faul but he still have a plan on how to deal with him later. "He's too fast and strong to be able to counter a Sapphire knight. Who is this guy?". Morbius thought, a shiver running down his spine. Donald was staring at Faul with curiosity all over his face. Faul was just too fast compared to his age, he defended himself against a Sapphire knight and even counter-attacked in return. That’s something even a golden knight cannot do not talk of a person yet to be trained as a knight. The commotion caused by the fight between Faul and George sparked a commotion that took a very long time to calm down. "Alright everyone, now it’s time
The trial came to an end with an extraordinary occurrence. A recruit almost defeating a Sapphire knight. That same recruit survived a mighty fire in the Pagoda chamber. From the day the recruits were selected things have been happening. Right from the training camp till they got to Alora. Faul has been out cold for a few days but he is not dead. Everyone kept talking about him, even those at the higher level have also heard about the strange boy that almost defeated a Sapphire knight. Some were already making plans on how to beat him. The title of being the strongest and most skillful has been something that exists ever since Alora knight academy has been. So, when they heard about the boy that almost defeated a Sapphire knight, they all want to be the one to defeat him. "Why is this so hard to fully absorb this power, this weak body is a hindrance to me", Faul thought as he was struggling to fully absorb his brother's essence. Faul has been sweating non-stop for days. The nurses
Immediately after Donald left the clinic Faul opened his weak eyes which were still a little blurry. He sat up gently on the bed holding his head that was banging like the city hall bell. "I must have been out for some time. I can feel it. Faul was in the middle of his thought and the doctor entered the clinic. "Hey kiddo. you are awake. You're really a heavy sleeper. You've been out for five days in a row.". The doctor said heading over to Faul's position. He checked his temperature and his pulse which all seem very normal compared to when he was unconscious. "Your friends are really worried about you, you should go let them know you are all okay now. More importantly, take care of yourself not to be like this again.". The doctor said and he gave Faul a few portions he will take later and ushered him to the door. "Only if you understand what I'm going through trying to get stronger to save this world.", Faul thought as he left the clinic. Faul continued walking down the passage
Walking down the passage heading towards the dormitory, Faul was expecting that he will meet others inside the dormitory once he arrives there. When he arrived he noticed that everywhere was so quiet but he didn't think much about it as he opened the door and went into the dormitory closing the door behind him. "Welcome, I have been waiting for you". Narme said, walking slowly towards Faul. Faul looked around the dormitory and found others lying still in their various beds and he thought maybe the witch has done something to them. "What did you do to my friends?". Faul asked sternly in a hoarse voice. "Oh... Them? Don't worry they are alive just sleeping soundly ", Narme replied. sitting down on Faul's bed. Faul was staring at her wondering what the witch might have come to do with him this time. The last time they met was in the village where they were attacked by the Griffin beast. "Come sit here", Narme said. patting the bed and gesturing for Faul to sit down. Faul didn't
