The evaluation of the drill and the awarding and punishment of the cadets lasted for a long time that by the time it had ended, three hours had passed.
During the evaluation, it was found that the unit under the charge of instructor Hannibal had performed the best overall as a group so naturally they were rewarded for their performance.
During the drill, this unit was lucky enough to be together when the green-skinned mandrakes attacked. With their advantage in the beginning the unit went ahead to occupy the arena where they were located, turning it into a fortress as they defended it and waited for the end of the drill.
Because of this maneuver, they were able to survive with most of their number intact.
Apart from them, there were also a few other cadets units that had performed exceptionally. It should also be noted that among these units, most of them were initially complete with all the members of the unit present. It was only because the actions of
As Arran stood before those gates, he could sense a type of vestitude that carried traces of history on the aged wood of the gates.The closed gates had a drawing carved on their surface that depicted the scene of a war between three forces where two of those forces laid siege to the third. As Arran observed the carvings it was like he could see the raging battles that happened on that day of the battle depicted in the carvings.On that day, when it seemed like the force under attack was about to succumb to their attacks, suddenly the clouds opened up, and from the skies came many winged humans that came down upon the enemies of the sieged force, cutting them down and culling their numbers in droves.As he observed the gates that separated the street he was in from what was beyond, Arran could also notice some minor details. From these details like the hedge of trees that were arranged in neat rows outside that spread their branches and shed their leaves followi
Inside, the old castle was lit up by candle lights that gave it an old ceremonial air. Above their heads was a giant crystal chandelier that reflected the lights of the candles on the surrounding walls, and along the walls were many two-meter-tall statues of winged people in various poses.These statues came in all manner of styles and they carried their own vibe, like the people who the statues were fashioned of had not only imprinted their likeness onto them but had imprinted their also their wills and spirit into the statues.It was like the statues were alive as they gave off their own personalities.Arran was very impressed by all that he was seeing and as he observed everything he called out."Hello, is anybody here?"Arran's voice echoed everywhere in the castle but there was no one who responded. This puzzled Arran as he felt that for a large castle such as this, there had to be occupants in it especially since he had received an invitation
It did not take long for them to reach the backyard.While the journey may have seemed long, the actual distance from the front of the castle grounds to the back did not take more than ten minutes and that was all because Arran had deliberately slowed down in order to observe the statues and their plaques.As they got closer to the backyard, Arran could finally make out a few sounds.From what he was hearing Arran figured out that a few people were training... like there was anything new there.By the time Arran and the others finally stepped into the yard, he was able to make out a total of four voices clearly while the others were not so clear.In the backyard, the sun was shining down on a grass field that was a few hundred meters wide. On the field were seven figures participating in a small scale-free for all while the other three watched their battle.Arran did not recognize any of the people gathered here from anywhere but as he watch
What was the most distinguishing feature of the Kingsmen?If you were to ask Arran that question then he would tell you that the answer was pretty obvious.That was why he answered as such, "Well it should be pretty obvious since every single Kingsman I have come in contact with has always had a pair of wings growing out of their backs."Missy nodded and she said, "You are right. Every Kingsman has a pair of wings growing out of their backs. It is our signature look if you want to put it that way, but let me ask you this, why is it that the Kingsmen have wings on our backs? Why not a tail, or horns?""Since we have wings growing out of our backs, what are they useful for? Are they just useful for flying with because I have to tell you it will get to a point where other wingless and grounded creatures will be able to defy gravity and soar to the skies without relying on any external aid? Since that is the case why are the wings necessary?""I also h
The sky was darkening as the unique sunlight of the planet gave the sky a purple tinge. While one could not see past the layers of purple clouds, the frequent flashes of lightning painted a marvelous moving picture in the clouds... as if an open-air cinema had come to town.Arran had finally resolved himself.Despite the pain that Arran knew he would feel, he had finally decided to bear with it as only in this way would he be able to grow stronger than he currently was.Over the week since Arran had started absorbing essence energy into his body and using it to refine and strengthen his body Arran had noticed that his physical fitness was increasing at a remarkable rate... almost at the speed of a rocket... and that he was vastly more powerful than he was when he first came here.Still, whenever he remembered the powers that Eris and Charmy had displayed during the drill Arran felt like his speed of growth was not fast enough. He was nowhere near as
Fuck!!!That was the only thing Arran could say as he fell down the cliff.The speed at which Arran plummeted was so fast that Arran's face was feeling a lot of pain from all the air hitting it.The wind was roaring in Arran's ear as he fell along with the sound of rapid water falling that Arran could now hear much more clearly.Turning his head to the side where he heard the sound from, Arran was shocked by what he saw.Unlike what he had previously thought, what he had heard at the top of the cliff was not the sound of a small creek flowing into a lake but the sound of a massive waterfall that fell from the bottom of the piece of land where the academy was located at.That was when Arran remembered that the geographic terrain of the planet was one where the heavy magnetic activity of the planet had caused all landmass to levitate into the clouds forming floating mountain ranges where the Kingsman academy resided and below the floating land
Woohoo!!!The current feelings going on in Arran's heart were indescribable.Back on earth, there was a saying that the vast stars in the night sky were a man's romance.Right now Arran felt like he understood this saying.Arran felt like he was seeing a rare beauty, one who can set your heart racing with just the mere sight of her, and that when she walked into a room full of people it was like you were the only two people on planet earth.That was the way Arran felt at the moment.He felt like it was just him alone in the entire universe... just him and the sky, the stars, the moon, and the sun in the whole wide world.As Arran flapped his wings and flew through the sky he had already reached the thick layer of purple clouds that flashed with streaks of lightning.With a peculiar feeling in his heart, Arran was unafraid and undaunted by the occasional streaks of lightning as he flew right into the clouds.Below at the
Arran's mind was filled entirely with scenes of a river of lightning charging his way with strong momentum and Missy suppressing the lightning river with just the palm of her hands before discharging them back into the clouds.It was all he could pay attention to so much that he could no longer notice what was going on in his surroundings.He did not know when Missy had pulled him from the purple storm clouds nor did he have any idea that he was currently already back on the ground.It was not until Missy started reprimanding him in a loud voice did he finally come to his sense only to see the cold and furious look in Missy's eyes as well as the curious and puzzled looks in the eyes of the other Kingsmen as well as Charmy, Eris, and Mike.Still, Arran had no time to care about why they were all looking at him weirdly as he immediately stepped away from Missy who was still fumingly waiting for an explanation from Arran.Missy seeing the way Arran re
