2024-10-29 19:42:56The room door opened and another student walked in. He had jet black hair and a muscular build. Glancing at him, Storm recognised him as the guy who took the test first. Storm shifted his gaze to the boy's wrist and spotted the letter "A" on it. It was expected, the boy was exceptional during the test.
The boy ignored Storm like he wasn't there at all and made his way towards the bed to unpack his bag. Storm wasn't bothered by the guy's attitude as he also went to his bed and laid down. There was something he has been meaning to check for a while now.
[YOU HAVE SOME UNREAD NOTIFICATIONS.]
Storm called out the system after laying down on his bed. He got the notification after defeating the Orcs but hasn't had time to click on it.
'I wonder what it is.' Storm pondered internally as he clicked on it out of curiousity. The screen infront of him now morphed to a whole new one.
[YOUR REWARD FOR HIDDEN QUEST HAS ARRIVED]
'Hidden quest?' Storm mused with his fingers on his chin in contemplation.
[10 EXTRA STATS POINTS]
[1 EXTRA MANA RECOVERY]
[A PORTAL TO A HUNTING QUEST VENUE HAS BEEN ADDED TO YOUR ARSENAL]
Storm examined the rewards, but his attention was fixated on the last one.
'A portal to a hunting quest venue?' Storm pondered with a slight look of confusion as he clicked on it to see the description.
[ONCE PORTAL IS ACTIVATED, VESSEL GETS TRANSPORTED TO A HUNTING VENUE. HUNTING DURATION IS 10 HOURS]
'I think this is like the acceptance quest where i got transported to a strange train station to survive for five hours.'
'I barely got out of there alive and now they expect me to go to a place like that on my own accord? I'm not sure if i will ever use this portal stuff.' Storm pondered disheartedly while dismissing the notification.
'I still need to get stronger, though..and i can't become stronger than being a coward. If i go to the venue and hunt monsters like the system says i might actually level up and gain more cool rewards.' Storm rubbed his chin with a smirk.
He has always been racking his brain on how to level up while in the academy. The academy won't send the students on expedition until 6 months after resumption, and 6 months is a lot of time to wait.
The portal us definitely a jackpot to levelling up, and he wouldn't afford to miss it.
'I will leave tomorrow morning and be back in the evening. I just hope no one notices my dissapearance.' Storm pondered internally.
Few hours later, the students were called in for dinner and Storm exited the room, but his roommate who hasn't said a word sinxe stayed behind.
Storm walked through the hallway and finally arrived in the cafeteria that was now crowded with different students. He made his way to the counter where a plump-looking griffin could be seen distributing the food.
The griffin glared at Storm in disdain before handinh over the tray of food. Storm retrieved the tray and walked to an empty spot at the very end of the cafeteria and began to eat hungrily.
He filled his mouth till he couldn't no more and munched down on it like a hungry pig. He hasn't had anything for a day now.
"Wow, you must be hungry." Lucy spoke as she walked to Storm's spot with Tana beside her and they both sat beside him.
"Easy so you won't choke on it." Lucy blurted out as Storm kept stuffing his mouth with food.
He munched for few seconds before digesting it with his juice.
"You can have mine if you want..i'm not really hungry." Lucy offered.
Storm glanced at the tray with watery mouth, but chose to remain a gentleman.
"Thanks, but no thanks." Storm declined.
"By the way, what class would you be attending?" Lucy brought up a topic.
"What do you mean? Aren't we all attending same classes?" Storm questioned with a slight look of confusion.
"Nope, there are three different clubs. Combat club, healing club, magical club." Lucy explained.
"Oh, i see. It's a actually obvious the club i will be attending." Storm bellowed.
"Combat club, no?" Lucy mumbled.
"Yeah. Since i am nothing but a human, i can't attend the magical club, and i also can't attend healing. Working on my fight moves is all i can do for now." Storm responded.
"That's neat. As for me i will be attending the magical club, while my sister here will be attending the healing club." Lucy informed gleefully while exposing her cute pointy fangs.
"Cool." Storm nodded as he resumed eating. While Storm was feating, he felt someone grab his colar from from behind and forced him to his feet.
"Well what do you?" The boy holding Storm's collar voiced with a smirk. The boy had long crimson hair, crimson eyes, sharp jawline, two black earings piercing his ears, and a tattoo on his neck.
Glancing at the boy's face, Storm recognised him instantly. It was Flare. The same guy that burnt down his grandfather's farm land. Standing behind him was his sister and plump minion.
"What is a trash human like you doing in a place like this?" Flare questioned, tightening his grip on Storm's colar.
Storm didn't respond as he just stod there with his head facing the floor. Images of how Flare burnt down grandpa Sikes's only source of income to the ground camw flooding and made his blood boil in anger.
"Hey, i am talking to you, trash! What are you doing in a place like this?" Flare repeated his question while tightening his grip.
After few seconds of staying mute, Storm finally spoke.
"You only have three seconds to get your hand off me." Storm uttered in a deep and menancing tone.
Hearing the words of Storm, Flare and other students in the cafeteria broke out in serious laughter.
"Can you all believe this guy, hahah..." Flare paused in his laughter as he felt Storm grab his arm and his bones began to twist.

"He's dead!" Storm turned to the shadow. "You! You've gone too far..."From the shape of the shadow, Storm recognised the person as the kid who ignored him from their dorm room. "You..." "There's no rules stating we're not allowed to harm or kill other students, I'm just showing you... This academy... This world, do not take it lightly. Also, you're welcome." With that, the figure returned to his shadow dissappearing from the cafeteria. And just like that, the academy's officials picked up the dead body and the rest of the students resumed their daily activities like nothing happened. Storm didn't know how to feel. He hated Flare for bullying him so much but it wasn't enough to want him dead. "If I was stronger than I am now, I could have been fast enough to stop the bastard!" The next day..."Did you hear?"Storm was walking through the hallways when he overhear some of the students talking."The Valiant Games will be starting soon.""It's starting much earlier." The Valiant

The stadium resounded with the uproarious cheers emanating from the colosseum as the commencement of the first round of the Valiant games was announced. " Let the Valiant games begin!"declared the announcer, prompting both behemoths to swiftly leap back and create distance between them. They then raised their arms and summoned their revered artifacts. Kaze firmly grasped his hammer's handle, causing electricity to surge around him as he executed a few practice swings in mid-air.Kaze's wields a war hammer. It's a magical Magical Item that has a strong affinity with electricity. Kaze clenched the handle of his hammer, electricity crackled around him as he takes a couple of test swings in the airGou followed suit with his mace artifact, the Gada - a weapon befitting of Hanuman, the Hindu deity known for his immense strength. The fervent crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers.The crowd cheered wildly. "Our competitors have heated up the match before it even began by summoning their

After the arena was repaired, the announcer was ready to call out the next combatants... "And without further ado, our next fighters are... The speed demon of the infamous Slasher team, Chase!" The crowd cheered as Chase Race through the audience section and onto the arena in a split second. "It's chase!" "Look over there!" Kaze points as they looked over at the row that chase ran through. He grinned as he waves his hand excitedly over the bunch that they spotted. Chase is a member of Bae's Team. They became acquainted with team Tempest and developed a friendly rivalry during the weaks before the tournament. A woman carrying Giant Scissors around her waves back and sends a flying kiss ay the System Bearer much to Tana's dismay.This woman was none other than the leader of the Slasher team. Besides her were her team mates who waved to the Tempest team as well. "Sup Bae." "And his opponent, Rip!" A man stood up from the crowd and made his way to the arena. He had dark skin an

Team Slasher were gathered at the infirmary looking over Chase. Suddenly, they here a knock and Storm walked inside. "Storm!?" "You guys looked surprised to see me." The System Bearer looked over to see the unconscious Chase. "How's he holding up?" "Doc says he'll be fine as soon as he recovers his mana." "Or..." Storm moved forward and places his hand on the forehead of the speedster. A faint glow appeared and it wasn't long that Chase jolts up gasping for air. "Chase!" "Huh? What's going on?" The speedster took a minute to process the events that transpired. A look of disappointment crossed his face."That's right, I lost, miserably." "How?" Jake asks Storm. "I shared my mana with him." Storm replied with a smile."You what!?" The Slasher all gasped."What? You guys seemed worried hihi." "We know that but we all contemplated on that and decided Chase won't want us to burn away our mana before our matches." Lana States. "Yeah, and he wasn't really in any danger," Falkner

"Ladies and Gentlemen! We are down to our last two fights of the first round." The colosseum echoed with the ever vibrant cheers of the crowd.They had witnessed several heated battles and while some were one-sided and lacked any thrill, they were wowed by the fiery exchange between all the participants. "This next fight is going to give you the chills, I can guarantee that! Welcome, the Ice Mage, Farou!" A cloak-wearing man descended to the arena. His cloak was pure white and had a picture of a snowflake in the middle. "His opponent, The team leader of the winner of the very first match up today, he's human, he's strong... Please welcome - Storm Walker!" The crowd's cheers were uncontrollable. Storm rises from his seat as everyone's attention is aimed at him."That's him alright." "The one in those videos." "His battle with commander Kaze was fire!" The crowd seemed to unify as they cheered a single word... "Tempest!" "Tempest!""Tempest!" "Tempest!""Well, I'm off."Storm

Farou presses his hands together. "Icicle Blast!"The ice wall standing between them began to rumble. "Trouble." Storm's senses warned as he enters his Glider mode. "Mode One: Glider!" The pair of dark mana wings emerged from his back. Mustang's eyes lit up seeing the System Bearer's new form. "Kaze has improved alot." "That's expected of our captain," Kaze reassures."Heh," Mustang laughs. "You haven't seen anything yet." The ice wall began to shoot out sharp ice shards aiming at the System Bearer. Storm dodges the shards and ascends to the sky. "That wall can't reach me here." Farou smiled. "Of course it can't, but they can." Just then, a shadow was cast above the System Bearer. He looked over and saw a dozen large ice rocks descending at a fast pace. "Tck." He swiftly maneuvers through them in the air. "You're just like a fly, but don't worry, I'll clip your wings." "One more time, you don't want to join my team?" "Why do you think we're called honor students? It's n

"My name is Lee, and I shall crush all of your bones !"The man standing in front of the leader of Shadow Rider stood nearly 8 feet tall, he had a broad chest and was extremely bulky. But he wasn't like that a few minutes ago."What technique is that?" Mustang looks over at Storm. "Beats me." The System Bearer shrugs. "Same here." Kaz states. "I've seen a lot of wacky stuff, but this one takes the cake," Ernie asks as he pulls out a roll of weed and lights it up. "Are you even allowed to smoke here?" Tana asks. "You only live once, Lucy." The guitarist hits a blunt and turns to Lucy. "Hmm..." Lucy ponders for a bit. "I have nothing. He seems to have sucked the mana from the atmosphere to bulk up his body." She starts to explain. "It's like Mana Force yet, it's not since there are no markings." She adds. "It also gives off the vibes of Mana Enhancement." Kaze states. "Is it another Mana Enhancement technique?" "Whatever it is... We'll figure more out once the match starts." "

“ What are you going to do to me?” Derek asked. He glared at Storm who didn't seem to care about the way he looked at him.“Derek, King of hell. You are hereby banished for the three realms. You would live in exile for the rest of your life. You are forever immortal and no matter what you do, you would never die. Birds would feed on you, you would never find peace no matter what you do.” Derek laughed maniacally after he spoke. As Storm turned to leave, Derek yelled, “I hope you die just like your parents did.” Storm paused at the door and only glanced at him before he left.Walking out of the palace, he noticed that everywhere was quiet, except for the hoots of owls. Storm didn't waste much time and closed the gate to the three realms. The gate to the three realms was a portal of unimaginable power and complexity, he quickly shut the portal, severing the connection between the three realms that had caused so much chaos. The air around the gate shimmered with a lot of energy. The atm

“What are you waiting for?” Immediately, he heard the voice, he turned and looked at Storm in shock, not knowing what to say. Derek stared at Storm speechless, he was supposed to be dead. At that moment, Storm was more like a celestial being. All his injuries had been healed, and he was looking like a newly transformed person. The transformation was so astonishing that it left him speechless, his mind raced as he stared at Storm. How was this possible? He should be dead? Derek quickly glanced at Storm's right hand and noticed it was intact, he looked around him but still saw the severed hand beside him. How was that possible? This shouldn't be happening. It wasn't a part of his plans, everything he had learnt about the Orb didn't have to do with this. Could it being a dead person back to life?Storm stood there, looking strong and his body glowed as bright as the orb. His once tattered clothes were now different , better than before and his skin had no injury on it. The contrast betw

Storm laid down on the ground and thought about everything. Not just his own end, but the end of everything he fought for, everything he believed in. He had promised to save the world, to change everything back and now he was about to give up.He could hear the echoes of his own words, the promises he made to his friends and Lillian. "I will fix everything," he said, with all the conviction of a man who thought he could change everything immediately he entered the other realm. But fate, it seems, has a sense of humor. Derek had told him he was supposed to die at the end, he didn't believe him at first but here he was lying on the floor on the verge of dying.Storm remembered the faces of his friends. He could remember their smile, Keith's smirk he always seemed to have on, Lucy's perfect eyebrows she always raised when she was angry, Ella's warm smile and Kade’s perfect smile. Their eyes had been filled with trust and high hopes and it haunted him now. They had believed in him, and

Seeing the figure standing up again, Storm's heart beat faster. He couldn't beat Derek without the Orb but he needed to fight him before getting the Orb. The pressure he felt from him was enormous, a suffocating weight that pinned him to the spot. He could barely move, his muscles strained against an invisible force. His heart pounded in his chest, each beat echoing like a drum in his ears. The air around him seemed to thicken, making it hard to breathe. He knew he had no other choice but to fight, yet every fiber of his bones screamed at him to run.“You know, no one has ever tried to fight me but you tried, I'll give you that. Even my daughter couldn't beat me, what made you think you could?” Derek laughed loudly his voice reverberating against the walls.“You are a horrible person. A horrible father, a horrible ruler!” Storm yelled.“Oh, I know that. I am sure my daughter told you about our history. I never wanted a daughter but I got unlucky, I need someone strong, powerful bu

Storm immediately smirked at the Magebreaker. He was definitely going to kill him now after he heard everything the Magebreaker had said. The memory of their last encounter flashed vividly in his mind. “Beforenyou get to use the Orb, I would end you myself.” Storm sneered, his voice dripping with hatred and anger. “Last time, you selead my powers, now we have a score to settle.”Magebreaker’s eyes narrowed, a flicker of anger crossing his face. “You think you can defeat me , Storm? I would end you before you even lay a finger on me.” he retorted, his voice a low growl. The tension between them crackled like electricity in the air.Without another word, the two lunged at each other, their movements a blur of speed and power. Storm's hands immediately found his sword as he swung it towards Magebreaker who swiftly dodged to the side, his own hands glowing with a dark energy. He unleashed a torrent of electricity towards Storm who dodged.Storm’s smirk widened as he saw Magebreaker’s atte

Just as Storm was about to move forward, he heard a loud voice welcoming him with laughter, echoing through the dimly lit chamber. "Welcome, Storm! Feel at home!" the voice boomed, reverberating off the whole place. Storm's heart skipped a beat. He paused, squinting into the shadows, trying to pinpoint the source of the voice. "That must be Lillian's father," he muttered under his breath, his muscles tensed as he took a defensive stance. He knew he had to stay on his guard. The voice had an eerie, almost mocking quality, and he couldn't afford to let his guard down for a second. He scanned his surroundings, every nerve on edge, his senses heightened.Without caring about anything else, he rushed towards the direction where he had felt the Orb. His pulse quickened as he neared it, the air growing colder and heavier with each step. The chamber seemed to stretch endlessly, shadows dancing on the walls like malevolent spirits. His breath came in short, sharp bursts, the anticipation gnaw

But much to his shock, he was not attacked. Rather, everywhere was calm, making him frown. Still, he walked forward, his steps echoing in the eerie silence of the grand hall. Stepping into the palace, he felt a sense of warmth overcome him, as though he had just arrived home, and this made him anxious. The warmth was unexpected, he hadn't felt this warmth in a long time. The last time he felt this warm was at the garden when the Orb was still there and this thought unsettled him deeply. He had expected more creatures, resistance, a fight, or at the very least, Mage breaker or the King of hell. Storm thought about the King of hell and what he would look like. He wondered why he didn't have a better name instead of the King of hell, he also thought about the Magebreaker. Where they working together? Storm wasn't sure but he hadn't seen the Magebreaker since and he definitely knew he had to fight the Magebreaker too. Storm looked around still expecting creatures to come out of anywhere

Three days later, a disorganized Storm stood at the edge of the forest, his eyes fixed on a huge palace in the distance. The palace didn't look anything like the realm, it looked too perfect, not a single thing missing from it, its grand spires piercing the sky, and its massive walls adorned with intricate carvings and ceiling to floor windows. The surrounding area was like a garden, it had beautiful flowers surrounding it with winding paths leading up to the palace gates. Even though Storm was disheveled and looking wretched, his clothes torn and dirt-streaked, there was a fire in his eyes, an undeniable energy coursing through his veins. His life over the past three days took a toll on him but his determination hadn't changed.As he stood there, catching his breath, he couldn't help but think about everything he had been through and what he had endured. The forest around him was alive with the sounds of chirping birds and rustling leaves, a stark contrast to the violence he had face

Just as Lillian left, Storm sighed and began his journey, heading directly to the palace. He looked around the realm and sighed again, he thought about all that he would have to fight before getting to the palace. Storm looked around and only noticed the hooting owls sitting on dead trees. They stared at him wide-eyed as he passed, this made his skin crawl. He stared at the tall mountains that seemed to mock him. He knew the palace would be on the other side of the mountain and this made him even more worried, he would have to fight a lot of creatures before getting there. Storm thought about all his friends, he had to do this for them. His thoughts shifted to his family, why did they keep a book about the orb in the library if they didn't want anyone to find it? Storm had never met his parents, they died when he was only a child so he didn't have any memories of them, just his grandfather. His grandfather had always told him he was stronger than he thought, he never believed him but
