The sound of birds chirping in the garden vanished as the sound of sword moving fast took over. Some boys played football while some were busy chatting. "Did you hear about the new tournament that will be held in the western region?" Among two boys, one of them asked so in an enthusiastic tone of voice. "No, what about it?"Beads of sweat appeared on his body and his breathing was a little heavy, Idris was all focused on practising sword playing. As he moved close to the main door, those two boys conversation pulled his attention."I have heard that this tournament is a top one, many royals will be joining in this regardless of their age, height and weight.""But doesn't it look scary? I mean young people will definitely lose after two matches. How can this be fair?" One of them complained. "Well, yeah. But that's the deal here. I heard from my father that whoever win in this tournament will be granted a title from the Duke of Montana."Upon hearing the words, Duke of Montana sudde
* Two Days Later *The long hallway looked too scary, with nobody around it was as if celebrating Halloween. Idris was not that scared of ghosts but he was not that brave either. While practising, he couldn't help but look towards the hallway. Unlike in the past, he didn't practice in the backyard nor did he practise in the hallway but in a safe place away from those two, where nobody would be able hear him practising. Idris took a look around then continued his practice."Huh!" Since Merle had ordered him to stay in his room, he followed it for two days and didn't really come out of his room but tonight, he left his room only after everyone slept or... That's what he thought.When he was practising, his full concentration was on the sword and how he was moving it against the wind but suddenly he felt a pair of dark eyes was watching him. It was making his back irk for some odd reason.Idris took a deep breath and quickly turned around but he saw nobody and nothing suspicious, 'Stra
As Idris pointed his sword towards a certain direction, star-shaped light appeared in the space. With melodic sound, they moved to every direction as Idris ordered and then they gathered on one place.Idris sharply stared at the edge of his sword as he ran his finger over it, the silver color of his sword reflecting in his eyes. "Brillar." The moment he voiced so, the star-shaped light turned into hundreds of butterflies then they circled around a beautiful flower in the garden."Sigue adelante." He voiced while keeping his eyes shut, while the chosen flower was growing bigger and more beautiful. Idris could hear the voice of the flower, as if it was thanking him. After working hard day and night, he finally managed to use both mana and sword harmonically. Suddenly a hand pulled his arm coming out of nowhere, "Idris, Idris. Open your eyes. Hurry up." Idris clenched his fists then let it go and in a minute, the sword and magic, all disappeared into thin air."Wow, you can now not only
"Mr. Eckes, you know how much do I want to join in this tournament and you also know the reason. Then I don't understand why are you suddenly stopping me from participating in this tournament." Idris voiced, he really couldn't understand why was Reiki doing that.This tim, Reiki quickly took a look at the outside of his room and then he walked to Idris and added, "I know it all and that's why I am saying this. My Lord, you are surely doing good. You have improved a lot in the past few days but My Lord, do you really want to show up in front of everyone with the little skills you have?"Hearing him, Idris looked down while Reiki continued, "In the tournament there will be a lot more skillful participant, do you really want to join while you are not upto your true power?""Mr. Eckes. I'm sure I can defeat...""Are you sure you can defeat the Duke of Montana right now?" Reiki looked right at him and Idris took a deep breath, he thought he would be able to defeat everyone in the game but
* Tyron Campus *The long hallway, the glass floors, and the mind-blowing interior design of the compus got most of them surprised. Some students looked at around with their jaw dropped, while some didn't show any shocked expression on their faces but they continued walking. "Excuse me, may I know wh..." Idris stepped backwards with a hesitant look on his face as the boy he was asking a question ignored him. Idris pursed his lips and looked around in confusion again.For nearly half an hour, he had been looking for his room number where he was supposed to stay at but with none's help he couldn't find it and the more he walked, the more he got lost.Taking a quick look around him, Idris looked at his finger. There were more than three hundreds students, he couldn't dare using any magic. 'Skie, tell me where is my room. Am I going the right way? I doubt...'[Yes, host. You are going to the right way, your room is in the third floor. After you reach the floor, please take a left, then t
'They were looking at me constantly and talking about me earlier but why they stopped all of a sudden? Is it because of these students...' With those thought running in his head, Idris stared at the boys who were sitting on the chairs just around him. With them joining him, the table was full now.The boys remained silent, only sending him some harmless gazes. Seeing the boys still look at him but say nothing, Idris smiled in an awkward manner and voiced, "Uhmm, you guys..." But before he could even complete the sentence, one of the boys moved his chair close to Idris and looked at him with sharp gazes. 'What do they want from me? They don't give any good vibe nor do they look like some bad guys... I'm so confused right now.'"I'm already full, you guys c..." Feeling somewhat weird in his chest, Idris picked his plate up and stood up to leave but just then one of them stopped him by putting his leg in front of him."Idris, right?"A little annoyed, Idris uttered, "Yeah." Without show
Giving Richard a smile, Idris headed into the bathroom. He put his towel on the side of the bathroom and just as he was about to turn on the shower, suddenly someone threw water at him.Shocked and confused, he looked at the direction and he saw Richard laughing. Idris smiled awkwardly and was a about to turn it on again, and this time, more water was thrown at him. It came all of a sudden that he was taken aback, wiping off his face Idris stared at the boys who were now laughing their ass off."How do you like the water?" Andrew asked, in a teasing manner. Idris didn't feel any good from their behaviour, it was as if they were having some bad intentions towards him."Uhmm, it's good. You guys have fun, I w..."Charles gestured at Lexhn and he suddenly pushed Idris aside. In utter disbelief, Idris looked at them. What the heck they were doing?"Guys, please...""Fine, go ahead." As Henry voiced so, Idris heaved a sigh and turned around. Barely two to three of water touched his shoulde
His steps were slow with his head held down, as Idris walked into the classroom. After last night getting bullied by his roommates, Idris pulled himself. He took a bath in silent, went to the room and saw the boys sleeping.To think the people he trusted would hurt him first, Idris was sad but then he pulled himself together, he decided to face it all with his head held high."Oh, the second bum is here. Look at his face, he seemed all proud yesterday but now, he don't even dare look up. Bwahaha!" Lexhn commented, in a mocking tone of voice while the rests of the students in the class laughed loudly. Keeping his fists clenched, Idris took a deep breath trying to not to lose it. Yesterday, he just let it go but he didn't know how long he would be able to hold it on. Charles smirked evilly as he saw Idris was about to sit on his chair, he intentionally kicked on the chair causing Idris to lose balance but unlike he thought, Idris dodged it. He safely moved away, and the students were
