Nate stood before his magical doll, there was enough for everyone in the class and they were all staring at them.
The dolls were all made of wood and were designed like Japanese samurai wearing masks, they had a katana which was held by both their arms, they held one leg before the other, and their eyes were dead and focused.Although the dolls were made of wood they were still human-looking and looked extremely durable, the amount of craftsmanship that had been put into every single one of these dolls was simply outstanding, and their functionality was mind-blowing.“These are magical dolls created by the forge mastering department, each of these dolls is designed with the intent to train students on their battle techniques, these dolls are all capable of five different levels.Level one is a basic sword and magical attacks, at level two these dolls increase in speed, strength, and sensibility. At level three they possess amateur magic and sword attacks, Level four is for experts of magic and swordsmanship, these dolls become fast enough to evade lightning attacks and strong enough to cut through steel like it is paper.At level five, this is the veteran swordsmanship and magic, no student who has studied for less than four years can take it on, its strength and speed become unimaginable, and it uses the six-sword technique. ” Master Oluwale took a dramatic pause from his speech to analyze the face of each student.“I would be setting these dolls at level one, only people who can beat level two would be eligible to proceed to the academy. " Sir Oluwale finished.With a simple bang of his cane on the ground a magical aura spread forth, awakening the dolls, they began to move and assumed a perfect sword stance, to show that they were ready for battle.Nate's doll thrust his sword at him, Nate was fast enough to dodge and quickly swerved to the side, he planned to respond with an attack of his own but the doll was way too powerful.The doll had anticipated Nate's moves and even drew him in to attack so it could counter, Nate could sense something heading towards his side at a fast pace and was too slow to dodge.*BAM* The wooden sword had hit Nate right in his ribs, sending him flying back, the doll had made a made of Nate in under ten seconds.[-2HP][EP WOULD BE CONSUMED TO HEAL YOU]“Nate, you are too reckless, do not rely completely on your instincts, you take too much pride in your strength and you overestimate it. ” Sir Oluwale said, correcting all Nate's mistakes.“Okay, sir. ” Nate shouted and rushed towards his doll once more, he was prepared to beat the shit out of it.The doll was in a semi-fixed position and could not move more than two meters from its starting point.Nate this time analyzed the doll more, it was clear it was capable of intelligence and sensibility so he made sure to carefully analyze every moment.Nate jumped right at his doll, he was not a fool and only did so to see its reaction, the doll stabbed its sword toward Nate, stopping him right in the air.It was so quick to act that it had failed to notice that Nate had purposely, [DRAGON'S FIST] Nate hit the doll square in the face or so he thought.The sword of the doll was instantly laced with fire and Nate screamed in pain, his attack had missed its trajectory and flew off course.The doll brought its sword down on Nate, expecting to end his life there instantly.Nate had good instincts and quickly swerved to the side, ‘I pushed it to use magic, which means I should be getting better. ’ Nate thought and immediately he got up from his feet.[DRAGON FLASH] Nate's body blurred, causing another sword strike to miss him, Nate appeared beside the doll at its stomach just where it was unguarded.[DRAGON STRIKE], Nate struck the doll at point-blank range, right in the gut but at the same time, the sword hit his back with burning intensity causing Nate to scream in pain and jump away.[-20 HP]{80/100 HP][DRAGON ENERGY: 30/50]Other students had long since lost to their dolls and had given up while some were still fighting but all couldn't doubt the unshakable prowess of Nate.Nate was like a man possessed, no matter how much beating he received from the doll he gladly jumped back at it with full force,not letting up, anyone could see the fire and determination radiating off of him.‘This boy is truly something else, his hot headedness, his father might have slept with the fire god without knowing.’ Sir.Oluwale joked in his mind.Nate didn't even notice others were looking at him and his entire being was focused on killing the doll that stood before him.This time Nate began circling the beast, he knew that fighting it head on was impossible and if he was to jump,he wouldn't be able to dodge and would just be a sitting duck in the air which was a bit stupid and what Sir.Oluwale had warned him about.With undying determination, Nate slowly moved towards the doll which had already raised its sword ready to strike him.[DRAGON FLASH]Nate's speed exploded and he was headed straight for the doll, the doll pretended to be too slow to slash him and tried to speed up at the last second.[DRAGON FLASH]Nate's speed exploded once more and he quickly ducked under the blade and maneuvered past it ready to hit the Doll.[DRAGON STRIKE]Nate's explosive punch hit the Doll right in the stomach causing a loud ringing sound to be heard, parts of the doll's got had broken off but it was too small to be a threat.[DRAGON ENERGY:0/50]Nate was panting tiredly, he was completely and totally exhausted, he had used up all his dragon energy and was now feeling extremely weak.The doll stabbed Nate on his shoulder with its sword laced in flames making Nate scream in pain, and fall to the floor squirming for his life.The doll raised its sword once more ready to take Nate's life, Nate laid on the floor as he watched the flaming sword descend upon his neck, threatening to unalive him at any second.“That is enough from you.“ Sir Oluwale said, he banged his cane on the floor once more causing a pulse of magical energy to be spread forth from it.The doll stopped in its tracks, inches away from Nate's face.Nate laid there on the floor praying to the divine god, he was barely conscious and his body was littered with burn marks and bruises.[QUEST: IMPRESS YOUR TEACHER HAS BEEN FAILED.REASON: YOU COULD NOT DEFEAT THE DOLL WHILE IT WAS ACTIVE.PUNISHMENT:NON].[NEW QUEST RECEIVED][QUEST: DEFEAT THE DOLL AT LEVEL 1][INFO: THE DOLL HAS KICKED YOUR ASS, SHOW IT WHO IS BOSS,DEFEAT THE DOLL AT LEVEL 1.][REWARD:50 EXP][DURATION: A WEEK]Nate smiled on receiving the new quest, he was glad to see that he didn't risk his body for nothing and that he still had a chance to gain the EXP.“You have the heart and the instincts of a great warrior Nate, however, your eyes are blinded by greed, take your eyes off the reward to get the reward.“ Sir.Oluwale said wisely, he could tell with the way Nate was fighting that there was something he was fighting for and he wasn't just fighting ordinarily.Sir Oluwale placed his hand on Nate's head and Nate could feel a weird energy invading his system, however it wasn't the first time he had experienced such today.[FOREIGN ENERGY IS HEALING YOU.]Nate could see the system message and was proud of himself, he had managed to do something useful today which was gaining a new quest.“Nate here, is the top of this class, treat him with respect or you won't be treated when I'm done with you.“ Sir Oluwale said politely with a smile on his face.Those words held great significance to the students and they knew sir Oluwale wasn't playing at all.Sir Oluwale waved his arms towards Nate and a new set of clothes had appeared on his body and that was how the first day of class ended.[HOURS LATER].The moon shot it's silver rays on the Land of Zurblis, a hooded figure was quickly zipping around the place in search of something.He scaled the defenses of Zurblis High with meticulous mastery and soon enough he had arrived at his destination.“Who said I am done with you?” Nate said looking at the doll which had embarrassed him earlier.Nate got to work, he knew he had only a week to beat this doll if he wanted his EXP and he could not afford to let up, give up, or get tired, his mind was inhumanely focused and he had gone into a state of such focus that made men gods. Nate searched the body of the doll and was able to see a switch that went all the way from level 1 to level 10.Nate turned the doll on and soon it had assumed the battle stance he was familiar with. The doll unsheathed its blade coating it with pure orange flames that burned with low intensity but were hotter than regular flames. Nate stared at the dancing flames of the sword, he knew he had to be careful there was no Sir. Oluwale to heal him and if he made a silly mistake that would be the end of his life. “Let's do this. ” Nate shouted and immediately assumed a battle stance, he was more than ready to take this beast on and his undying determination was burning like flames in his heart, whatever Nate set his mind to, he would achieve it. “Sir,
The next day Nate woke up to the chirping of birds above his house, Zurblis was a really beautiful and peaceful land filled with naturally beautiful sights. Nate quickly freshened up and got ready for school, he put on the clothes which were gifted to him by Sir. Oluwale the other day and swiftly made his way to school. Nate was peacefully walking when suddenly mud splashed on his face, “Aghh” Nate groaned in anger, he knew there was only one family in Zurblis that could be such dick bags. “Hey loser, just wanted to remind you that you would never be greater than me. ” Nate heard the same voice he loathed with every cell in his body. “That is what your father was told as a kid. ” Nate snorted, he knew what he just did was punishable by death but why would he care? Mark's face turned red with fury and could be seen through the carriage glass, “You are lucky I do not have time for incessant fools like you. ” Mark said angrily and ordered the chariot driver to keep moving. Nate was
This time the students would not be tested using a magical doll but instead be tested using a strange magical orb. The orb was just like that which they used to awaken their beast, but instead, this one was transparent and had a small luminescent flame burning in the center, dancing ever so slightly. Everyone would line up and calmly place their hands on the ball, the reaction of the flames would determine their magical talent. The students quickly formed a long line before the orb and Nate had somehow found himself at the last position, his heart was pounding Nervously, he had no idea if he had any magical talent or not so he quickly checked his system to see.

“Sir, please I'm sorry, I am not a witch, my mother was one, I escaped when she killed my father for refusing to allow me to become one, please sir, I only have which magic in my veins, I am not one. ” Ragnar cried and threw himself at Sir. Oluwale's feet, showing a sign of surrender. He really wanted to escape taking this test because he was afraid of his secret being revealed. Ragnar was born into a pretty strange family, his mother was a witch, the leader of a coven to be exact and she had kidnapped his father keeping him as a pleasure slave. One thing led to another and she got pregnant with a child and bore Ragnar, Ragnar was half human half witch and from a young age Ragnar had displayed an unbelievable talent for magic. Ragnar being half human, half witch possessed something albeit unique, witch magic always gave more than it took and always destroyed whatever it came in contact with, while human magic only consumed Mana and could be used to create. Ragnar had developed a
“What are you, boy? ” Sir. Oluwale asked in shock, he had never seen a mana orb having such a reaction or any student ever having such a test result throughout all his years of teaching. “I. I. I. I don't know. ” Nate said confused, he clearly did not understand the results of his test, and he had no idea if it meant he was powerful or if he was weak. “Your magic talent is great, too great, boy you have the capacity to become a god mage if you are trained well enough” Sir. Oluwale said with stars in his eyes, he had never seen such a potency for magic as Nate's and he was sure if anyone was going to become even anything remotely close to a God mage, it was him. Nate looked at the man confused, he checked his system's stats to make sure he was seeing properly.

The boys all around Nate started showing signs of beastly transformation all entering into “Beast Mode” which was a sign of fusion between an individual and his/her beast. Beast mode was not something that could be achieved within days, it required months of training and communication with one's beast, the deeper the connection between a beast and their individual the stronger their beast mode would become. At the sight of the boys using beast mode Nate was, able to determine something, he now knew why he hadn't seen Ivan on the first day of class. Ivan and his group were all failures, one who failed the academy tests and had to repeat another six months of training. “Oh no. ” Nate said with worry and panic written all over his face. “I see, you at least have a working brain which means that you have realized your death is imminent. ” Ivan said and he was dead right. Four more boys had joined Ivan and his group making them all ten boys in total, now, if these ten boys were exact
Nate managed to get a glimpse of Ragnar and how he currently looked. Ragnar didn't look like the weak scrawny kid that Nate had seen previously in the class, instead, there were more things different about him, it was obvious he had changed, he felt darker, colder, and more evil. Ragnar had his hands placed on where Ivan's hand used to be, he had a crazy look in his eyes and his right cornea was reflecting intense red light making him look more ominous than before. A dark force could be seen emanating off of his body almost like red mist, it swirled around his body spreading forth and destroying everything it touched. Ivan instinctively tried to hit the boy before him but a fast-flying ball of ice hit his left arm, freezing it completely. “ARGHHHHHH” Ivan screamed in more pain thanks to the attack of Erin Snow who stood behind Ragnar, a spear made of ice was firmly held in her hands. Erin had the same cold look on her face as always and it was always hard to read her, Ivan tried
Nate and Erin looked at Ragnar in shock, he looked to have reverted to his previous state but this time his eye was glowing brighter than before. “What the fuck, did you just bite me. ” The fat boy said as he started at Ragnar, and with a violent thrust stabbed his stone sword at his head, aiming to finish him off in a single attack. Ragnar placed his hands on the stone sword and it crumbled to dust before fading away, Ragnar smiled revealing his sharp set of fangs. “Get away from me you beast. ” Chumo the fat boy said in fear, his legs were shaking faster than a vibrator and he honestly didn't know if he would survive. A stab from Erin made Chumo scream his lungs out, he jumped away in fear and turned to look at Erin who had a smile on her face. Despite being impaled and stuck to the wall, Erin still had a little bit of Mana left in her and Ragnar had provided her with the destruction to create an ice spear. Ragnar wasted no time placing his hands on the ice spear that held Eri
