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
The newly accepted students sat in the huge hall were they were having the orientation. Unlike the nobles who couldn't occupy a quarter of the place, the commoners had filled the whole hall. The Dean, miss Celine, Eric, General Hargrave and the tutors were present, sitting on the elevated platform. Beside them, on a smaller platform sat twelve kids their age wearing gold and green robes. One boy at the forefront sat on a seat far higher than that of the others. The newly enrolled students were very excited, looking pristine in their green robes and full of hope and excitement."Well. Before I begin with my delivery, give yourselves a round of applause. It's not easy to enroll into a magic Academy," said Dean West with a kind smile.Immediately the hall broke into claps, catcalls, whistles and yells as the newly enrolled students expressed their joy.Dean West allowed them a few seconds of reverie before raising his hand to cause all noise to cease. "I am Dean West, the dean of the k
The Induction ceremony had gone very well, serving as a source of motivation to the new students to cultivate and train harder for more benefits. As a result, the new students immersed themselves in the lessons being taught by their tutors. Everything seemed to be going on well until..."Look out brother, here comes another one," a voice whispered. His brother nodded and calmly came out of hiding with his brother. Assuming a fake air of nonchalance, he walked a few steps by the side of a wall which led to a sharp turn. Grinning, the elder one intentionally turned abruptly causing whomever was walking on the other side of the building and about to take the curve to crash into him."How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare a filthy commoner like you touch, much more bump into me! You must have a death wish you idiot," the noble frowned and yelled at the commoner who had fallen to the ground from the collision. One would wonder why only the commoner ended up on the ground and not
