Nate weaved through the academy, with the air of the map in his watch and Klea in his company, for too long had he neglected this and if he wanted to win that challenge then he most definitely needed it. Nate walked into a huge room with the words Forgery written boldly above the huge metallic double doors. The moment Nate opened the first thing he could feel was the immense heat coming out from the place but it was nothing too severe that he couldn't resist. Only one man stood in the huge forgery, he was currently working on a weapon, beating the metal into shape. He seemed to be extremely strong with the way he was lifting up his sledgehammer like it was a piece of paper. “What brings you youngsters by? ” The man asked with eyes that held sadness behind them. “I would like to forge a weapon, the map said I could come here to do so? ” Nate asked, a bit skeptical, the aura he was getting from this man wasn't that of an average academy worker. “Let me see your crystal. ” The man
“Why?” Klea asked strangely, ever since finding out he was the dragon god, the thought of fighting him didn't seem appealing.“Think about it, Tacha is a good magic user just like you, if I train with you against the fight it would boost my chances of winning.” Nate said smartly, his logic was solid.“Okay, but I must warn you, my spells are extremely powerful.” Klea said, setting up her barrier, she began to levitate in the air and a strange golden glow surrounded her body, giving her a magical aura.[QUEST RECIEVED: Defeat the princess][Info: Defeat OgheneKlea without any skills][Reward:+20 charm stat]Nate smiled, the charm stat would be incredibly useful in his fight against Tacha he would need it to be able to easily break out of spells.Nate spread his legs apart, taking on a fighting stance, his eyes deadly focused.Nate could feel the heat around him suddenly increase by a hundred degrees celcius, he was confused Klea hadn't even moved or made an incantation but Klea had sur
Nate and Klea's fight had ended in a clear win for Nate, leaving him more curious about magic and even with a new skill.“That was a good fight Nate, however just because you can beat me doesn't in any way mean you can beat Klea, the strength of a magic user varies greatly.” Klea said with a serious look on his face.It was a fact, Klea hadn't even used some of her more dangerous spells because she didn't feel like Nate would survive it without unleashing his dragon side, would Tacha do that? Definitely not.“This ring, it should increase your resistance to magic." Klea said chucking a ring at Nate who caught it mid air.The ring had a dull golden colour around it, with flower engravings and two long ears.[Magical Item detected][Ring of the elf gods.][Info: This ring used to be a gift from the elf gods to their followers to protect them from magical manipulation][Effects: +20 Charm]“Woah.” Nate said feeling the effects of the ring in his body, his sensibility to magic had increas
After their training night had fallen and it had gotten very late. Through their bond Klea could feel that Nate was a bit uneasy with the thought of sleeping in his room. He just didn't want to look at Emax after what he had caused, so he decided that he wasn't going to sleep at all , he would just hang out in the forest and return the next morning. “No Nate, that is not safe. ” Klea said to Nate on sensing his emotions and ideas. “What other option do I have? ” Nate asked Klea, he wasn't even going to play dumb, she already knew what he was thinking. Nate hadn't learnt to fully control this. whole bond thing, he wasn't fully able to control what emotions came in and what went out. Nate could also feel something in his heart, a deep attraction for Klea, it seemed he had fallen for her, but he decided to never reveal this secret, he was scared of her rejecting him. “You can spend the night at my place? ” Klea suggested looking at Nate with a shy smile on her face. Sure she and
Nate woke up without the feeling of Klea making his eyes shoot wide open, he knew it was too good to. be true, she was probably on her way to report. “It's a shame you feel I would still do that to you after all we shared last night. ” Klea said, her dark blue eyes. She was fully clothed in an all black garment, staring at Nate with slight anger in her heart. The fact that Nate still didn't 100% trust her despite what she did for him last night was hurtful to her, but how could she blame him, he had been burnt pretty bad in the past.Nate didn't say anything but instead just sat on a chair in Klea's room staring at her.Klea seemed to be reading a book and she could feel Nate's on her skin.“You know it's weird to be staring at me like that right?“ Klea said looking at Nate strangely.“I'm sorry, you're just, beautiful..“ Nate accidentally blurted out making Klea blush.“Come on Dragon god, let's go do something fun.“ Klea said closing the book and walking towards Nate.With a snap
Nate woke with Klea by his side, they had achieved so much the previous day, and now finally they were together.The first thing Nate did was plant a kiss on Klea's forehead, making her blush as she woke up, their bonding sending feelings of love through both of them.It was the first time he was experiencing the feeling of love and he had to admit, it was a bit strange.But there were more important things to deal with today and Klea knew it, today was the day Nate would battle Tacha to decide his fate.“So, are you ready?“ Klea asked Nate, staring at him nervously.No matter if Nate defeated her, Tacha was still a very powerful magic user, winning against her wouldn't be that easy .“Hell Yeah.“ Nate wasn't thinking along the same lines with Klea, after what she did, sending nobles after his friends and him, he was going to give her the beating of her life.Another unsettling feeling was surrounding Nate and that was his friends, Jack, Ragnar and Emax, he hadn't settled with any of
After receiving his new ring and testing it to his satisfaction Nate walked out of the forgery to do a few more things before his fight. Surprisingly today which was Monday, all classes had been cancelled, Nate suspected it was the work of Tacha and her nobles, they would have one or two teachers under their payroll, working for them. It was crazy how powerful the nobles were, a Nate hadn't just been in the academy long enough for him to experience it. There was an unwritten rule in the academy of some sorts, to the nobles they had only one rule that couldn't technically be broken in the academy, which was not killing, the academy's defense system would stop anyone who tried to kill before they could even succeed. But for commoners there was one rule and that was don't mess with the nobles, the academy had even been designed the way it was because of them. The corruption in the academy had spread it's root too deep but Nate had been too busy to notice it, almost everyone on the a
“Klea do you know the gravity of what you are saying? ” Nate asked her, sure he was a bit ignorant to the things around him but he knew very well how powerful a headmaster was, they were not to be messed with in any way. “She, she is right and wrong, it's not the headmaster, instead it'd be a teacher, one who is a noble and hates our guts. ” Ragnar said. Ragnar and Emax had decided to keep their identities as the son of a famous military commander and a Southern prince a secret, because they wanted to see how people would treat them them without knowing their true identity. Emax was totally unconscious, and he seemed to be missing his left leg, if something was not done fast then he would die. Klea on seeing this began waving her hands and chanting, preparing a healing spell. Her golden magical entered into each of them, stopping their conditions from worsening and sharing some of her mana with Ragnar and Emax, while for Jack they could only wait for him to recover his lost energ
