The Return of the Legendary Student    The Canteen
The last lecture they had was on anatomy before the bell for lunch break went off, and everyone left the classroom except for Liam who sat back, waiting patiently until everyone was out. “Brina? Are you there?” “Always.” Brina’s voice echoed from within his head, and he sighed softly while he looked around to be sure that he was really alone, and that no one was coming into the classroom. He was about to speak when he saw two ladies walking into the classroom with coy smiles on their faces. Their steps were slow but steady, and it was obvious that they had something up their sleeves as they walked up to him.“Well, it seems you have some admirers already.” Brina teased, but Liam said nothing as he stared at the ladies who were already close to him, and were definitely going to see him if he said anything to Brina. Liam looked at the ladies closer, and after noticing that they looked identical, he realized that they could be sisters. They had the same long raven-black hairs, w
The Return of the Legendary Student    Intervened
Liam looked at the student who was still on the floor while everyone laughed at him, including the twins who were standing close to him. He recognized him as Noah, one of the Junior students with impaired sight who was bullied by almost everyone in the college. “He is so clumsy! What a waste!” Zoe said with so much ridicule laced in her voice while she and her sister continued to laugh scornfully at Noah who still couldn't find his eyeglasses even though it was right in front of him. Looking at Noah at that moment, Liam was reminded of what he had gone through at the hands of Larry and most students who bullied him the way they wanted because he couldn’t do anything, and obviously needed to work for them in order to afford his fees. “Get up! Out of the way!” Larry kicked Noah on the belly, causing him to grunt in pain while he stretched his hands across the floor, still in search of his glasses that he needed to be able to see clearly. Some of the students who saw how hard
The Return of the Legendary Student    Denial
Liam gave Larry a glare while the bully was forced to take two steps backward, seeing that Liam was getting close to him with a stern look on his face. “You don’t know when to give up, do you?” Liam snarled angrily at Larry while he forced himself not to throw a punch on his face. He could feel Brina urging him not to even though she refused to say a word. At that moment, every other person had backed off, including the female worker who slowly returned back to her position, and decided to watch from afar. No one was willing to interfere in the affair of the two of them as they waited eagerly to see what Larry’s reaction was going to be. “Why won't you mind your business, newbie? Can’t you just stay in your lane? Must you try to poke your nose into things that do not concern you?” “Oh, I assure you. I will always be here to stop you from bullying other students, Larry Prescott. I am your bane, your Waterloo.” “What?”“Yes, Larry. I can see that you are very stubborn. I un
The Return of the Legendary Student    Weirdo!
Liam spent the next five minutes in solitude while he thought about the best way to handle the situation. Obviously, he didn’t have any evidence to prove that Larry pushed him down from the building, but he was definitely going to find a way to make him pay. “You have done well, Emrys. Lord Phaunos made no mistake in choosing you as his successor.” Brina’s serene voice said from within his head, causing him to adjust himself on the seat while he sighed softly. “But you tried to stop me from helping him out.”“You were put in a situation that was meant to scrutinize you, and you have shown how noble you are, how kind-hearted you are. You are the right one for this great task, Emrys.”Liam blinked severally, and then he lifted his brows to form a furrow.“Wait…” He huffed some air before he continued after looking around to be sure that no one was watching him. “Are you trying to say that that was a test?” “If that is what you choose to call it, then yes, it was a test.”“Wh
The Return of the Legendary Student    Accused
Noah was speechless, but he was also glad at the same time. No one had ever chosen to stay with him for any reason, and he couldn’t stop smiling at Liam who drank from the can of milkshake and smacked his lips at once. “This tastes really nice, Noah. I love it!” “I am glad you like it.” Noah chuckled excitedly, and then he grabbed his sausage rolls, and took a bite that gave him a mouthful. He munched until he crushed the food entirely inside his mouth, and then he diluted it with his own milkshake. “Why did you transfer to this college? Were you in another city?” Noah broke the few seconds of silence that had lingered between them for almost a minute. He was very curious to know more about Liam who slowly dropped the can of milkshake on the table, and sighed softly. “Well, I was once in this city, but I went away for a while, and returned home recently. I decided to come here to finish my senior year.” “And you chose Hilton’s college?” Noah asked with a look of surpr
The Return of the Legendary Student    Discovery
Liam lifted his brows the moment he heard the words from Noah who slowly returned his gaze to him after making sure that no one was eavesdropping on them. “A secret library?” “Yes. A secret library, Emrys.” Noah nodded to affirm his words, and after shielding his mouth with his right hand, he continued. “I think it was built in the past, way before this school became existent. The books there are so old but they contain so many secrets from the past and even predictions about the past. There are books on teleportation, time-traveling, space, reincarnation, and even magic.” Noah shook his head in excitement, staring at Liam who struggled not to express the frenzy that lingered in his mind, ready to let itself out. “Sometimes, I hear voices when I am inside the library, but no one ever shows up. I was thinking that it could be some of the students in this college, but no one seems to know anything about it. I am sure that the school would have reported it to the government if
The Return of the Legendary Student    Summoned
Slowly, Liam walked toward the Dean who stood patiently waiting for him to get very close before he turned around and headed to his office with Liam following him behind. “Mr. Cassius? Is everything okay?”“Just come with me to my office, Me. Perkins. We need to have a word.” Henry said without turning to look at Liam while he climbed up the stairs that led to his office. He walked into the room as soon as he unlocked the door, headed to his desk, and sat down on his seat. “Please, have a seat, Mr. Perkins.” Henry gestured to Liam who refused to sit even after he had glanced at the seat. “Thank you, but I would prefer to stand.” Liam folded his arms while he waited to hear what the Dean was going to say. He already knew the reason why he summoned him, and had already thought of a suitable response to give to him. From the look on the Dean’s face, it was certain that he was a bit nervous to speak to Liam who wasn’t like the other average students he had compelled to do his b
The Return of the Legendary Student    She is back!
Liam descended the stairs and made his way toward the classroom block with so much anger boiling inside him. “That coward! He calls me a drug dealer and a drunkard! I should deal with them when the time is right, all of them!”“Relax, Emrys. Do not forget what lies ahead of you. All of these are distractions that can set you back from your path.”“Brina? You are still here.”“Of course, Emrys. I am always here with you until my time is over.” Brina responded at once while Liam walked into the classroom block and sauntered through the hallway that led to one of the laboratories in the building. “Well, I thought you had left me. You suddenly became silent and refused to give me an answer to the question I asked.” “Focus, Warlord. You still have the ancient book to find, you still have a lot to learn.” Brina caused Liam to go into a period of thinking while he continued walking slowly toward the laboratory. “How long is this supposed to take? How long am I supposed to stay bef

The Ogre
The three of them looked ahead, attempting to see what was ahead of them, but there was nothing, not even a shadow.“Whatever that was, it doesn’t sound friendly all all.” Mr. Gary said with a shaky voice, struggling to get a grip on himself just like Maya who hurried to stand behind Liam. “Stay close, guys. Whatever that was, it senses us as threats, and I am sure it’s going to come out from wherever it is.” Liam said calmly, looking ahead while the others stood behind him. The growl came back again, accompanied by louder echoes that reverberated from several corners of the dungeon. They could hear the sound of chains rattling from some of the dungeons, but that was the least of their troubles. As soon as the echoes from the growl went silent, the sound of heavy tromping on the hard floor followed suit, causing more tension in the bodies while they kept their shaky eyes staring in its direction. Taking in a deep breath, Liam exhaled some of the tension inside him while he he

Hidden Castle
After almost an hour of driving on the road, they eventually arrived at their destination and alighted from the car before heading down the hill that led to the sea. The hill was located on the outskirts of the city, a place where anyone hardly came, and they could hear the sound of birds and crickets chirping from a distance, and owls hooting from the top of the trees where they nestled. Darkness was already upon them, and even though Maya was afraid that she could fall from the hill as they climbed down, the thought of Liam being close to her made her continue. “That’s the sea over there, Lord Emrys!” Mr. Gary pointed as soon as he saw the sea, still surging under the effects of the wind, cascading from one point to the other while the three of them moved to it, eager to accomplish their mission.Standing in front of the sea, Liam and Maya looked at Mr. Gary who was the only one who knew what next to do, but the look on his face showed that he was struggling with a strange fe

Last Resort
Liam left the Castle as soon as he was well-rested. He headed to the Tavern, hoping that Mr. Gary was back from his travel while he sauntered into the building, ignoring the eyes that stared at him with keen attention. “That’s him! That’s the one I told you about! Strange isn’t he? He walks silently, yet his strength is as noisy as the turbulence of the sea.” One of the old men who recognized Liam whispered to his friend who was not present at the tavern the previous night. Some of the other men in the tavern who recognized him cringed with a little tension, flashes of the memories from the previous night couldn’t leave their minds. They had always been afraid of the assailants who tried to take advantage of the fact that Mr. Gary was not around, and the fact that Liam single-handedly beat them to a pulp made them very wary of him. Some of them adjusted themselves quickly, hoping not to offend him for any reason. Even the stares from his orbs were enough to send jitters down their

Clue
Liam was gradually becoming very impatient with Reggie, but he tried as much as he could to remain calm. “Reggie?” “Yes! Jack! He had an emergency, and he had to leave! Yes, that’s what happened!” Reggie chuckled again to cover his nervousness. “He had an emergency? What type of emergency?”“Erm? He…He.” Reggie stuttered, and more sweatballs streamed down his face while he searched for the right answer to give to Liam. “His mum sent him on an errand! Yes! An errand…” Reggie nodded to affirm his words while he continued to avoid eye contact with Liam who nodded slowly. “It’s fine,” Liam said with a low tone, and then he looked at the others who quickly withdrew their gazes from him at once, pretending to be talking about something else. “Yeah! He should be home now, probably with his mum. You should check his house.” “Alright. Thank you, Reggie.” Liam waved at Reggie with a smile on his face, and then he turned slowly and walked back to his car. Sitting silently, Liam

Where is Jack?
Liam saw that the old lady was gradually becoming very apprehensive, and he looked for a means to get her to calm down. He forced a smile on his face, but that still wasn’t enough to get her to calm down. “Where is Noah? What happened to him?”“I need you to calm down, Miss Thompson. Noah is safe, he is probably out there someone on one of his jobs.” “I don’t believe that! Noah would never go anywhere without telling me!” The old lady stood up from her seat at once and struggled to walk toward Liam who hurriedly grabbed her when he noticed that she was about to stagger. “What happened to Noah? Tell me! He said he was going to a party with you last night!” She looked into Liam’s eyes, making him look away at once, cringed by a little guilt. “Please, have a seat, Miss Thompson. I promise to tell you everything that happened.” Liam gently led the old lady back to her seat. He removed the wool, the scissors, and the knitting needle from the chair before he made sure she was comfo

Where is Noah?
Waking up the next morning, Liam couldn’t stop thinking about his encounter with Maya and the little children who reminded him so much about himself. Growing up in the orphanage was too tough for him, and he had to struggle his way to be able to put himself in school, moving from one job to the other in order to make a living. He couldn’t have much for breakfast and even the Chauffeur noticed that he was unusually quiet throughout the ride from the castle down to Hilton’s college. “We are here, Lord Emrys,” Andy said calmly after turning to look at Liam who was still lost in thought. He had been staring at him through the rearview mirror, wondering what had kept him thinking for such a long time. “Thank you, Andy. I will see you after school.” Liam got out of the car and shut the door at once before he walked away while the Chauffeur watched him for a few seconds before he drove out of the school premises. Liam expected to see Noah who usually waited for him in front of the

The Orohanage
Liam watched the children with keen attention, and he couldn’t get rid of the nostalgic feeling that crept into his body, making him smile even without knowing it. He watched as some of them grabbed Maya’s hands and her clothes, and led her toward the only couch inside the house. “Maya! We made some cupcakes for you!”“Oh! Really?” Maya chuckled, looking at the children who seemed very excited about the words from the teenage boy who opened the door. He was the oldest among them and was obviously the leader. “I will be right back!” He ran off at once and returned a few seconds later with a plastic plate that contained two pieces of cupcakes. “We knew that you would be very exhausted and hungry by the time you get back, and we decided to make this for you.” He handed the plate over to Maya who laughed pleasantly. “Oh, Dave! This is lovely! That’s so sweet of you! All of you!” Maya looked at the cupcakes with a smile on her face while the children watched her keenly. The c

Unsafe
Maya wanted to believe the words she heard from Liam, but she couldn’t get over the fact that he didn’t get hurt by Raph’s dagger. “Maya? Don’t be scared, okay? I am not going to hurt you, I promise.” Liam reassured her again and waited patiently until she eventually decided to listen to him. After a few seconds of struggling with the conflict in her nerves, Maya sighed heavily, and then she managed to get a grip on herself. “I will listen to you only if you explain everything to me. You are going to tell me how you were able to do that.” Maya said nervously, looking at Liam who nodded after a few seconds. “I agree, I will tell you everything you need to know. Can we go somewhere private and talk?” Liam said when he realized that everyone was staring at him without any plans of looking away any time soon. “Just give me a few minutes.” Maya retorted almost immediately, and then she walked back to the counter to put things in order before leading Liam to the back where they sa

Harmless
The man who Maya punched was so furious that he growled angrily, and leaned forward over the counter to grab her. “That’s not a good way to treat a lady, don’t you think so?” Liam was on time to pull the man backward with his left hand while he put a smile on his face. “Who the hell are you? Get your hands off me!” The man grunted angrily, glaring at Liam who lifted his hands slowly without letting go of his smile. “I am just her friend. I am not here for any kind of trouble, okay? I am just here to see Mr. Gary.” Liam looked at the five men surrounding him, and it was obvious that he had succeeded in pissing them off. He took two steps backward while his hands were still in the air, but they moved closer to him, making sure that he didn’t have any space to escape. Maya was relieved that her assailants had moved away from her, but she was worried that Liam was not going to be able to defend himself against the five of them. “You made a terrible mistake coming here, boy!
