Two days had passed since the arrival of the nobles into the academy. Soldiers had brought blue bracelets for them to wear and they were advised not to take them off. They were well fed and catered for as the academy had a large dinning area where they were fed good meals. Things were slowly taking shape but today they were all excited as an announcement had been made that the dean was going to meet them.All the nobles gathered in a huge hall where the meeting was to take place. Chatting excitedly, they took seats in the middle row in front as the hall was to large for them to space out. Memphis was surprised by the sheer beauty and marvellous architecture of the building. Even though the world of Balvan was a medieval world in most sense, the presence of magic changed much of it. Memphis was sure that given time, Balvan would even overtake the earth in terms of technology and development. When everyone had settled down, twelve people dressed in light blue Mage robes and silver armo
"Did I just hear correctly?""Student council? I've never heard of that before but it sounds cool!""Isn't this the same as making those kids in bigger noble families kings over all of us already?""Relax small brain, didn't you hear the dean? We can challenge them for their position anytime,""Well this was a change I wasn't expecting," Memphis smiled wryly after the dean mentioned the student Council.Up on the seat of honour, Celine scoffed and shook her head. "Pathetic. Over privileged brats being given absolute power over their mates in the school to pacify the egos of their parents when we are doing our best to protect them," she sneered. General Hargrave merely grunted in response but Eric replied, "Don't be so sore, Celine. Remember you'll be the one with them on a daily basis while us men are busy preventing their asses from being kidnapped by the Blood Moon. So at least try and be nice," he smirked.Celine just shook her head again in annoyance and replied, "Let's hope those
Dean West made some signs with his hand and suddenly, the hall expanded leaving a lot of empty space in between the stage and the audience. A mini platform was formed on the open space with a blue barrier around it. Even though the distance was far, they could see clearly."The duels will be held here. These are the rules for the Vice Head duel. There will be no usage of pills and elixirs, no usage of magic equipment like weapons and defensive artifacts, then the winner is the person who forces the opponent to concede defeat, has more mana when that of the opponent is finished or knocks the opponent off the platform. Catherine and Amy, please mount the platform so we can begin," said Dean West."Well at least the duels are fair. They're not being allowed to use weapons and boosting elixirs,""Yeah, this is a battle of pure strength. I hope they don't force us challengers to fight them like that,""With or without magic equipment I will take one of those positions,""With that bronze A
After the hall had been restored and Eric and Celine took their seats, Dean West continued with his delivery. "Congratulations to the newly elected student representatives. To you other nobles gathered here, you should try as much as you can to also join the main executives. This is because they will be given the best resources, especially those in the top three positions. Now due to other factors, apart from the bracelet given you, you will also be given school robes which pretty much will defend you against other attacks just like the bracelets. As you are nobles, you will recieve higher quality robes which will be green and rimmed with silver. Those in the Council though will recieve green robes rimmed with gold which is of far higher quality while the normal people and commoners will wear plain green robes. They will be brought to you tomorrow. After this, all the new executives will meet me in my office for a small discussion. The rest of you are dismissed. Remember, focus on yo
With the new position and duties hoisted on him, Memphis knew that life in the academy was going to be very tiring. Miss Celine had already briefed him on what he was to do for the meantime as the student head and he couldn't help but have a headache when thinking about it.Memphis bit the juicy spirit fruit in his hand and sat in contemplation of the future. Things seemed to be going smoothly, a bit too smoothly. Perhaps it was due to Goddess Daphne's help but Memphis knew in his time back on earth that when things got too quiet like this, then big trouble was on the way. It kind off reminded of the day his brother died. The heat had cooled down and when everything seemed that it was going to be alright then BAM! Memphis was left without a brother due to some rich bloke who was obviously too drunk to drive straight. It was left with just two days before the commoners arrived into the academy. Most of them would have awakened just a few years ago, probably a year or two because of fi
All around the kingdom, various commoners flocked to the capital to take part in the Daris Royal Academy's entrance test. For the first time ever, the academy had decided to hold a mass Entrance exam to let even commoners inside the academy. This was a chance none were willing to pass up and even three years was worth the wait. Fathers and mothers led their children into the capital and the gates of the academy were awash with a multitude of people.Inside the academy, Nobles watched the commoners gathered outside with varied expressions, mostly varying from disdain to curiosity. Memphis and the other council members though didn't have the luxury to observe the multitude outside though as they were busy helping the teachers in making final adjustments. They would have a close up look of the commoners though as they would be there watching their tests.Mariah stood in the midst of the throng with her father. Her father clutched her hand tightly with a grinning face. He was confident th
"Next!" Phinehas called when the first batch was done. The second batch moved over to take the place of the first and the test continued. It was apparent that the participants knew some spells but most of them were casting it sloppily and making a lot of mistakes.It soon got to batch number 13 and Mariah walked unto the field and up to dummy number 54. A young girl her age with blonde hair stood by the dummy. She stood the silently, waiting for instructions. "Like the man said, you're going to cast a spell. Take five steps back and ready your spell. Don't save mana," said Catherine.Mariah nodded and did as ordered. Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she closed her eyes and channelled her mana. "Spatial blades," she called.Four blades of silver energy formed in front of her. Like s hot knife cutting through butter they homed in rapidly on the dummy and hit it, leaving white marks on the dummy's tough body. "Space element?" Catherine was a surprised. Space mages were few and fa
Slade Zogg pulled his hood lower over his face and walked tentatively to the huge gates which led into the capital. "Halt! Who are you? State your mission!" came a loud voice.Instantly, five guards appeared, barring Slade's way. Slade stopped, still with his head hunched down and pulled out a black object from his cloak. "I go by the name Kross. I bring news to Lord Kaiser from the hinterland," he said hoarsely The man who obviously seemed to be the leader cautiously reached out and took the black object.He injected mana into it and pulled out a piece of paper. Glancing through the scroll he checked everything was in order and nodded before handing the item back to Zogg. "Why are you in so late?" he asked. "I was delayed," answered Zogg. "Too many folks were coming to the capital today due to the Academy," he added. The guard nodded. That made sense as many people had trooped in today, delaying a good number of people.The black object was called a soul stone. It was something wit
