In other Noble houses, various heads and nobles recieved the emergency meeting summons and immediately started making preparations to go to the palace. The king sat on his throne in a large hall, reading the report that Stefan, his right hand man, had compiled for him.Now that the organization knew that they had a target on their back, they had switched to using local criminals and Daris' Underworld for the dirty work. Of course, the criminals were more than happy to capture a few snotty brats here and there for a good sum. So far, those in the Organization whom the kingdom had managed to arrest these past months were all famous rogue mages and criminals. They all alleged that it was a hired work. Apparently, a mysterious person by the name Slade Zogg had posted that mission with a huge rewards.The mysterious man called Slade then invited them to a certain location and gave them the list of geniuses they wanted to capture, their residences and areas they visited frequently, alongsid
"As I informed you all earlier when we last met, I'm pleased to announce that the expansion of the academies alongside the necessary security measures are moving on smoothly," Dean West said. He took out a blue bracelet from his storage ring and lifted it for all to see."This is a high level tracking artifact, a masterpiece made personally by Master Gordon Smith. With this, all the students will be made to have this bracelet at all times which is linked to a special tracking device in the school. Thus, we can monitor what happens to the young talents and instantly act in times of trouble," said Dean West with a smile."A question, Dean. What if the bracelet is removed?" asked one of the nobles curiously. He wasn't the only one as the other noblea wanted to also know the answer. "Very good question, Lord Solis. You see, immediately the device senses that the bracelet has been taken off, it will sound an alarm and reveal the bracelet's last location. It would also release an alarm when
"If that is the case then it is really bad. No wonder the Organisation is able to infiltrate our borders so easily," Arius voiced out loud. Stefan shook his head silently. "For what purpose? What does that Organization hope to achieve? Are they the lapdogs of the Empire to prevent us from becoming too powerful?" asked King Muriel. "Probably so, your majesty," answered Dean West."We have to intensify our efforts before it's too late," the king mused. "I suspect some of the nobles to be involved in these dealings, your majesty. Lord Kaiser had a smirk on his face when you mentioned that geniuses had disappeared which disappeared as quickly as it came," said Stefan thoughtfully."Mm, it seems he is one of those few nobles least affected by this. We've all lost people but the Kaisers don't often have such cases on their hands. Thanks for the tip Arius, take care of your grandson well though so that he also doesn't get kidnapped. His talent is the best I've ever seen and the Organisation
Memphis sat calmly in the back of the Lerain Carriage as Arudiz drove him through the bustling streets of the capital to the Daris Royal Academy. The academy was located near the palace, almost at the center of the capital. Many nobles like Memphis were journeying there to be protected and trained by the kingdom.Twelve year old Memphis looked 16 even though he was young. This was due to the training which he undertook daily. His brown hair was falling in lazy curls over his face and his green eyes glowed brightly. His skin was smooth and flawless like that of a baby and he was now becoming a real looker whom ladies were attracted to. Similar scenes played around Daris as many young nobles were being transported in heavily guarded carriages to the Academy. In a forest, the orange Lizardman crouched on a tree trunk, squinting his eyes to look at the road. His snake like eyes allowed him to see a long distance so he had a clear view of incoming carriages. In his hand he held a communi
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
