The next day was the induction and introduction of new students into the academy, so wore my black combat gear with the green sword patch on the left shoulder. The combat gear I was given was a wooden sword and shield, forearm and shin guard made of leather, with a chest plate also made of leather and there was all black.

I left my room because I was on the second floor made for beginners, it was crowded with students wearing green combat gear, so I stood out from the rest and it gave me unwanted attention. Because my black combat leather amour was fitted to my body outlining my muscle, and I was quite tall, with my auburn red hair still in the same style Tina made it yesterday, it was easy for me to be the main attraction.

“Bro how come yours is black, but I have to say you badass,” the boy in the room before mine said. Some other people also nodded in agreement and wanted to change to black gear too.

“My name is Jude, I am your neighbour,” he said and stretched out his to shake me.

    The students gathered around them, waiting for what would happen next, but Peter was not in the mood for it and continued walking out of the hall with Jude, Sarah and Tina in toll.“Where do you think you are going you peasant bastard if you take one more step I will send you to the infirmary,” the boy said out loud and the student started gossiping about what he said.“so he is not from a noble family or a merchant family”“but why is he here, the academy fees are not cheap”Peter paused his step before turning to look at the boy with cold eyes, Sarah could feel his anger as his aura changed giving a very dangerous feeling.“What did you just say,” Peter said as he walked to him. Everybody gave way to him because they could feel the anger in his voice.“you heard what I said you bastard, what do you want to do about it? People like you bring down the standard of the academy,” he said pointing at peter. Before he noticed it, peter appeared at his front, grabbed his head and slammed his

    “what are you doing here kid,” Samuel said with a look of disgust. “you are supposed to be training with those muscle heads in the fields,” he said and Peter ignored. After a while, Peter found a place to sit at back and open his book on mana control.“boy, is he not talking to you or are deaf,” another student stood and pointed to Peter, but he was still focused on his book. Soon the door opened and the teacher came in. “settle down everyone we will be having a new student today, oh I guess he is already here,” he said before he noticed Peter at the back, “get up kid and introduced yourself” he said.Peter stood “good morning everyone, I am Peter Grey and I will taking classes with you, please teach me well,” then he sat down with the eyes of all the students focused on him. “Peter is a second circle mage that just got admitted, so try to go easy on him,” the teacher said to the class.“I don’t understand master Owen, he is clearly at the knight, look at the gear he is wearing, how c

    The spar got the attention of magicians around and some were interested in it while a boy wearing black combat gear was in the magic tower and sparing with a mage. Some third-circle mages also saw this and watched with interest.“Who is that kid in the arena and why is wearing black gear”, “he seems like a new student, is that not one of Samuel's underlings”, “yea, I guess this one of his doing again, let’s watch what will happen”. The third circle mages discussed what was going on as they wait for the spar to start.“I will be overseeing the match then, you will start on my signal,” a fourth circle mage said as he stepped into the arena. The boy was sparing with Peter's name was Henry, he was an earth user, so Peter was watching for sneak attacks from the ground. “BEGIN!” the fourth circle mage said, and henry shot a rock bullet at Peter. Peter moved to the side and a rock flew passed him, as he watched henry shoot another bullet at him. His spell casting was above two seconds, so h

    Peter, joy and Gerald left the arena under the hateful gaze of Samuel and Henry. He was planning on using the ‘spar’ to get back at Peter, but in the end, he disgraced himself. Henry just watched as the girl he has a crush on walked out with another girl and couldn’t do anything.“So that boy was that strong and Gerald got to him first, we have to find a way to make him join our fraction,” one of the third circle mages said and the other two agreed with him. The students of the mage tower are divided into fractions that seek to get total control and they are even supported by some nobles that are in charge of some affairs in the tower.“Peter, why are you wearing combat gear and not a cloak? And why is it black instead of green” Gerald asked Peter as they got to the passage leading to the exit of the tower?“I am kind of an irregular in the academy Gerald, so wearing a gear instead of a cloak is one of the perks,” Peter said to him without explaining further. Joy also wanted to know w

He got ready with battle gear, but unlike the previous day, his wooden pentagon-shaped shield was strapped at his back and his wooden sword was on his left hip.He made his way outside and saw Jude coming out of his room. “ Good morning Peter, you were not at the training ground yesterday, where were you,” he asked Peter with a friendly smile as both of them walk down the stairs to the first floor.“I had other classes to attend to, I won’t be coming to the training ground every day,” he told him. When they got to the first floor, it was filled with Knights of different ranks going for the training ground or waiting for someone.Among the crowd was the group that tried messing with Peter under Matthews's order, they were standing close to him and he had a frown on his face as

    For that week, during magic class, the students were taught mana manipulation and with the help of peter, Joy could now manipulate man, and also increase her casting speed by 0.5 seconds.Sarah has greatly improved and could now create tree barks around her body like an amour and make miniature whirlwinds. She is now getting closer to being a second mage and so is Tina. Peter focused on his sword technique and footwork at knight training. He was mastering a new dragon technique that help increase his speed and he has mastered 80% of it. It was already the first Saturday of the new semester and Saturdays are for spars among students.“alright you weaklings, since we don’t have a leader among you, today’s sparing contest will be to know who is the strongest among you,” Clifford said as the students stood in front of him in the training ground. He placed a box on the grass, “in this box there are numbers and the numbers will decide your opponents” he said as he looked at them.“Each pers

    Clifford was noticing the tension growing between the beginner knight rank and sword knight rank students and stepped in.“alright boys, don’t interrupt my students' sparring. If you want to watch, watch but don’t disturb us” he said with a stern voice the students kept quiet but David was still glaring at Peter even though Peter ignore them.“Sir Clifford how about this, when the winner of the contest emerges, let one of us, any of his choice spar against him,” one of the boys said and the others nodded in agreement. How could he not see the plans of the boys he was sure that Peter would be the overall winner so he looked at him and Peter nodded in agreement.“Sure, but don’t be a sore loser at the end,” Clifford said. The novice rank student was surprised at first but later became energized at the thought of fighting against the knight rank. Twenty minutes later, the contest started again. This time it was five versus five since they were ten students left. Peter changed his sword

    David was watching the spar with interest, thinking of who would win the fight, before he saw the crowd parting at the other side and two girls walked to the front. It was Sarah and her cousin Tina.The silver and blonde girl drew the attention of everyone and Peter was no different, he was surprised to see her there. David made his way around the crowd to get to them.“I didn’t expect to see you here princess,” he said as he got closer to them. Tina gave him a side glance and then continued to search for Peter.“Me too, I don’t know why you are at the novice ground David?” Sarah asked with a slight smile. David was struck by that smile and took him some seconds to get himself.“We just wanted to see the new set of new students train and might exchange move them to guide them,” he said feeling proud but Sarah knew they were just to cause trouble.“Peter! Over here!” Tina shouted as soon as she saw Peter standing and started walking towards Sarah in toll. David saw Sarah dragged away b

    The next week started and it was the first class for Peter and Joy in the third circle. They stood in front of ten feet high door and they could feel mana fluctuation from it.They open the door and step into an open field with trees and a lake. They were both surprised by the view and knew that this place was not in the tower because the land mass was large to accommodate the entire tower. Peter looked back and could see the corridor outside the door but at the doorframe, they were blue glowing lights. The door closed when they walked inside the room and they made their way to where a group of students was. When they got closer, they saw Gerald.“Peter, Joy glad to see you made it into the third circle,” he said to them with a smile. The students were made up of twelve students, five girls and seven boys and the instructor was a woman in her mid-thirties with wavy brown hair.“Welcome to the third circle class, I know that you guys have great talents to be able to get here at such

    When Tina got down from the stage, she met Sarah smiling at her, “you finally advanced to the second circle,” she said to her. Sarah advanced to the second circle of days earlier after a hellish training session with Miss Helen.She has been getting personal training from her once in a while and they have been extremely harsh, but thanks to that, she advanced to the second circle. Her nature affinity increased a lot after that and she got a new spell called ‘MOTHER NATURE’. It is a growth kind of spell, when casting that spell, for twenty minutes she can summon wines and roots from four feet around her. It is like a domain spell because anything within that zone would be under her control even the earth.“Now I would not be left behind, I wonder if Peter has advanced,” she said with a smile, “I would love to see the expression he would make when we tell him about ours,” she said.“Let’s go over to his class when you have rested up,” Sarah said to her because she was still tired from

    The stage of the arena was covered with smoke. Peter stood at his spot waiting for the smoke to clear off. On the other side, the boy pointed his staff forward and four magic circles appeared, “Scattershot.” Flames shot out from the circle into the smoke heading for where Peter was.Peter sensed the fluctuation of mana and his dragon sense made him know that an attack was coming his way. He channelled mana into his hand creating a whip from fire. When the flames shot out of the smoke screen, Peter flogged his whip forward towards the flames and it destroyed the flames.Peter sent the whip forward striking at his opponent, the boy raised a flame wall to block it. If it was not for the boost his staff gave his flame spells it would have collapsed under that single strike.Peter whipped the firewall again, and it started flatter, after the next strike the flame wall exploded, and the shockwave sent the boy two feet backwards. Even with the staff he was still no match for Peter’s atta

    Samuel stood on the stage facing his opponent. He took a red staff with a ruby at the tip. The ruby glowed with a tinge of an orange hue to it. He got the staff from a merchant for a high amount of gold after his duel with Peter.The boy with the buzz took off his cloak; he was wearing a sleeveless top showing his muscles. He had too many muscles for a mage.“Are you both ready,” Owen asked the boys and they both nodded. “Begin,” he said and the boy with a buzz cut shot three rock bullets at Samuel.“Fireball” a magic circle formed in front of his staff and fireballs blasted out of it meeting the rock bullets coming his way. “BOOM” an explosion happened as the spells met midway. Immediately Samuel shot another round of fireballs through the smoke hoping to take the boy by surprise.Through the smoke, three balls of flames came right at the boy with a buzz cut. “Wall” an earth wall rose and blocked the balls but it cracked when the last one hit it.The smoke cleared, and Samuel saw tha

    After a long while, the battle finally ended, “you did good kid”. The berserker said as he merges his axe back together as one. “You look stronger in your dragon form, I wonder how powerful you are now,” the leader said to her. In her dragon form, he was just a couple of inches taller than she was.She switched out of her dragon, her scales disappeared, and she returned to her usual height. “that’s not what we should discuss now, we need to make it to the city, so I can meet up with one who can protect me,” she said calling back her spear. The group agreed and continued their journey.In the king's study in the capital of the kingdom, in front of the king stood a man in all black. His face was covered so that always his eyes could be seen. He had little presence and could easily be lost in the crowd. He was part of the king’s special squad.“Have you gotten any information on what I asked you to look into?” he asked the man in front of him.“Yes, your majesty. Approximately three mont

I was running away from them,” Sophia said, “they massacred my entire village just to get to me and the only person that could protect me from them is in the capital of this kingdom.”Hearing what she said, the party became vigilant because they could feel that the people were strong and had a sinister aura around them.“I see that you guys are a decent adventuring party and from your pieces of equipment you should be stronger than average, so let’s do this. You hand over the girl to us and we will leave your bodies intact for you to have a befitting burial.” The leader of the group said.His words enraged the man with the axe, “you don’t seem to understand something, you are the one to beg me to leave your bodies intact.” He said as he released his aura.

    The boys were surprised by the outcome of the fight. Because they know that, the boy that Peter defeated was the second strongest in the group.The boy that led them stood there with a frown on his face. He did not expect Peter to be that strong.“Ok boy, it is me and you now.” Another boy said as he approached Peter with sword drawn and ready to attack.“Come on.” Peter welcomed him as he got into stance.Both clashed with their sword and the force behind Peter's sword made the other take three steps backwards. ‘He was not as strong as the first guy’ was what Peter thought.Peter docked to the side as the boy continued attacking. The boy swung his sword again and Peter parried it to the side before kicking his right shin breaking his balance.Before the boy could recover, Peter grabbed his head and slammed his head on the grass.“Next.” He said standing straight, looking at them dead in the eye.

    Everybody at the table stared at the two boys, waiting for them to say the identity of the person who sent them.“It was Jackson the son of Baron Steven that sent us.” The other boy said proudly, as if proud of the fact that he was a lackey.“Do you guys know any Jackson in the academy,” Peter asked the people around the table since he has no idea who the person was. Jude was the same as him but he knew who Baron Steven was. He was the baron in charge of a big city in the east close to the border between Gales and Green land. He was a wealthy merchant and his merchant group was spread across the kingdom even into other lands.“I think I know who Jackson is,” joy said. “he is a fourth circle mage in the tower and I have seen Samuels group with him before.” She said after thinking for a while.“Since you know who ask for you now, can you come with us?” The other boy who had not spoken anything said.“Sorry go back and tell Jackson that we having dinner with our friends and cannot leave

    CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

    In the class, students were inscribing tunes into sheets of paper. It was not other ordinary paper but magic sheets used to create magic scrolls. Magic scrolls are sheets with spells engraved on them, sold to merchants or adventurers.The price of the magic scrolls depends on the quality. The scrolls are divided into three grades. They are ‘Normal, Rear and Epic’ grades. So the class are learning how to engrave magic spells into the sheets. Some would blow up in their face, while most just created normal-grade scrolls.Peter found it interesting, as he tried to engrave the runes without using the steps he had gotten from the knowledge of the dragons. He wanted to test himself and he was among the set that the sheet blew up at their faces.Joy was not having it easy but she didn’t blow the sheets up in her face like Peter.“that’s all for today, I know it’s not easy but keep practising and we will continue in the next class,” Owen said as he made his way out of the class.“This is very
