"Okay, this should be enough. Please wait a little bit until I make my decision.” said Henry with a big smile on his face.
“Huff…Hufff… Dammit, how, just how is that guy so strong, I fought with everything I had, yet, I couldn't even lay a finger on him… Arrhhhh, I'm so pissed!”
Damn that geezer, how the hell was he moving that fast, The battle was over in 5 minutes, and he said that was enough. After that, I tried to calm down, so I sat on a bench and remembered how the battle unfolded.
I never experienced something like that, even with the teachers from The Army of Swords, I never experienced something so one-sided in my life. I mean, sure, I got serious beatings by the instructors but, it looked to me like a have a chance,but here was not about chance, I was simply overpowerd and overwhelmed.
So, I activated my ability and dashed at him and tried to punch him in the gut, but he just swiftly spinned to the left, and before I knew it, he was behind me and just pushed me away with his left hand. So, there's nothing wrong with the first part, except the way he dodged my attack so smoothly and so fast. After he pushed me, at the moment I touched the ground with my leg, I used my speed to move behind him and do a spinning kick, but when I thought I landed the kick, he grabbed my leg and tried to throw me away, but I think I used my wind element, and with the other leg, I created a current of wind as I kicked in the air, to be more precise, I created a wind blade, but he dodged it, and the next thing I remembered was me laying on the ground, it was like he teleported and appeared in front of me, and in that moment he probably hit me in the torso.
After I got up, I attacked several times, but with no result.
When he came back after deliberating with the other teachers, he said:
“I consulted the instructors here and decided that we would accept Lucas at our school.”
So, he accepted me, meaning that in the one-sided pummeling he saw something. I think I should be happy, but I can't hide my anger. He observed it and asked if I was unhappy that I had been accepted.
“No, I am grateful that I got accepted here, but I don't like losing, especially in such a one-sided way. I'm not saying that I thought I could win, but I believed I could at least do something more noticeable.” I said, trying to hide my frustration.
“Oh, but you did something quite noticeable, if I remember correctly.”
“Huh?” I said it with a puzzled expression on my face.
“You see, when I grabbed your leg and was about to throw you away, you managed to make a wind blade with the other leg. For someone your age, it is hard to even use magic, excluding the fact that a wind blade is usually made from hand, not leg, so I think what you did is incredible, so don't be sad, train here, and maybe you will be able to beat me in the future, who knows.” He said that, patting me on the shoulder.
“Now, you will be in the group trained by instructor George , so he will take it from here and explain everything and guide you to your room while I finish the details with your parents.
This George guy is a man in his mid-thirties, well-built, with a dark purple haircut. He is tall, having a height of 1.90 m.
“Welcome, Mr. Zachary, to The Blazering School. As the director said earlier, I will start explaining how the classes will be and the system of this school. After that, someone will guide you to your room.”
Ok, so the school has some system, and I will live in a dorm even if we are provided with a house for free,nice.
“For the moment, you and the other 15 people are in group D, the group I lead. So, the classes consist of theory of abilities, magic, and other things you need to know to enter the Hunter Academy, and practical classes of battle training that I will be teaching, while the theory classes will be taught by others.”
“Other than that, you will try to advance in better groups until reaching the group of the top 5 people trained by director Blazering himself, so strive to be the top of the school to receive the best training. To be able to move to a better group, you need to be at the top of your current group and get approval from me to move to another group. Other than that, you will see as you spend time here. Now, Ms. Olivia will guide you to your room.”
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
She walked me to a building in the back of the house itself, that was built in the same style as the house, with the same dark wood and the same height. On the way there, she told me that I will have a roommate, and we will start in the same group because we are the same age and enrolled here at the same time. He enrolled earlier than me, but since it was spring break, we will start classes at the same time. When we got in front of my room, she began to speak as she just remembered something:
“Mr. Zachary, tomorrow before classes start, you need to come downstairs near the entrance to take your uniform from the tailor.”
"Okay… But you haven't measured me yet, how do you know if it will even fit me?”
“Oh, don't worry about that, the material for the uniform is imbued with magic, and the uniform will adjust after you put it on. Now, if you'll excuse me.”
After that, she left, leaving me in the front of the room. I entered, and because the bed on the right had a bag on it, I took the other bed. I put my clothes in the wardrobe, launched myself onto the bed, and fell asleep while thinking about who my roommate might be.
*BOOOOM*
I woke up immediately after that noise to see what the hell happened.
“What in the world is going on?”
When I looked to the right, I saw my roommate and a destroyed wardrobe in front of him.
“Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, but as you can see, my wardrobe reached this state after I tried to close its door.”
My roommate was a blonde guy, my age, and a little taller than me, but the way he spoke and his posture, apart from the wardrobe assassination, looked like the ones of a kid who was raised in a good environment, probably he was a noble child. (I hope he is not an arrogant noble because I want a little peace of mind while I'm here.)
“Don't worry, I felt like laying down for a moment, but it seems like I fell asleep, but you seem like you deafeted the wardrobe monster.”
“You might be right, I hope that I didn't wake the dragon from his slumber.” He said this while laughing.
“The dragon will let this slide if you tell him your name and the path to the restroom.”
“Oh, of course,I didn't introduce myself, my name is William, William Blazering. And what is the name of the dragon?”
“I am Lucas, Lucas Zachary, but does your name have any kind of-”
“Yes, my father is Henry Blazering. You probably thought that I would get preferential treatment, didn't you?”
“I didn't even know he had a son, but I thought that his son wouldn't leave in a dorm, taking into consideration that your house is 30 meters away.”
“My father said that living in the dorm would help me make friends and think that all people are equal, noble or not.”
Well, you didn't give me the impression that you would have that noble arrogance.”
“I've been raised in this way since I was born, to not treat people based on their social status but on their way of being, if I can say it like that.”
So, after the wardrobe was replaced, and I went to the bathroom, we chatted about lots of things, not all school related, about how it is to live in Zorynyl.
(It looks like my roommate is a pretty nice guy, maybe I made my first friend in this world.) I thought for myself. But the most important thing is school tomorrow.
“Hey, William, what do you think about the school? About the fact that we are starting tomorrow, do you have any insights that you could share with your best buddy?” I said it with a grin on my face.
“I might have, but you have to pay for them, and don't smile like that, it's creepy.”
“You don't have enough money already, I will be homeless if I give you money.”
“Ha ha… My father didn't tell me any secrets, so I know as much as you do, plus we are in the same group, so we start from the bottom like everyone else, but with our power and determination, we will strive to the top and be the best in the school.” He said this, putting his fist up and standing on the bed while in pyjamas.
“You will be a good politician, but I guess a tuxedo is more appropriate for this occasion.” I said this while giggling.
"Well, you don't look so well-dressed yourself.”
“I am the audience, it doesn't matter how I'm dressed.”
We argued on this theme until we fell asleep.
Let's see what this school will teach me.
