Chapter 6: The beginning of a friendship

-----In front of the academy----

After the principal told me to go home and pack my stuff to enter the academy, I did exactly that. I mean, I was pretty excited because in my past life, magic was something like trickery or from old storys, but now it's real.

Because Reaper didn't know anything about the abilities that I could use because of him, I needed to go to school and get a proper education to make my parents proud and to not betray the mighty being.

After school is over I will try to get in contact with him, but that's still a long way.

Right now, I'm standing right in front of the huge gates of the giant academy that were guarded by tamed beasts from the forest of Oleria.

Those beasts were strong enough to beat a mage with bright red magic power, which was pretty strong.

"So, I guess that's goodbye for the next 2 years. When we get our 2nd year exam results back, I will come back with the best grades in my class." I said as I hugged both of my parents, one crying, and my sister who was also crying because I couldn't be there for her in the next two years.

----- Reception of the academy -----

"Next one!" said an old woman around her early 70s.

"Leo Kuara, first year, primary class." I said as I stepped forward with a smile.

"Dorm 14, room 316, your roommate should be arriving soon. Classes start tomorrow at exactly 7 am. You will get the rest in form of a letter." She said with a monotone voice.

I bowed politely and walked of to my room where I would live for the next ten years, If I wouldn't fail my exams and stay in primary class.

----- Leo's Dorm -----

As I entered the building, there were a lot of newcomers looking for their rooms or just going around in the large lounge.

I went upstairs to the third floor and entered my room with a magic enchanted key.

The room was really big with two big beds, a really big wardrobe, two separate bathrooms and a small kitchen.

I picked a bed and put my stuff into one side of the wardrobe. After an hour of putting my stuff away and looking around I went to lay on my bed. Right when I closed my eyes the door opened and a young boy came in.

The boy looked like he was around 10. He had short red hair, green eyes and two long ears coming from his head. He wore a green shirt with yellow stripes and brown pants.

"Hey! I'm.. Elvin, your new roommate." He said with a weird smile.

"Hi, nice to meet yo-" I said before looking at his ears "Are you an Elf?!" I screamed in an excited voice as I shot up from the bed to get a closer look.

He gave me a weird look as he retreated a few steps "Yes I am, but why are you so loud and excited?"

When he said that I realised I was way too straightforward so I stopped, and introduced myself again.

"I'm sorry, my name is Leo, and I was so excited because I never saw an elf before." I said as I gave a polite bow.

"Oh, it's okay. I mean it's the first time the other races can get into the famous school here. Let's not talk about that,  because we are both here, that means we're in primary class, which means we both have super cool soul weapons, but what I wanna say is... " he stopped to take a deep breath" Can I see your soul weapon?"

"Hahahaha! Sure, sure. But wait a second." I said while laughing.

After calming myself I continued with a more serious and worried look.

"Alright, but be prepared, and please don't be scared." I said while he looked confused.

"I don't know what you mean, It can't be that ba-" He lost his breath mid-sentence as he looked at my transformed form with my scythe.

"Wha- What is that? That- How- Oh my god that's so cool! How did you do that?" He asked excited while inspecting me a bit more.

I looked baffled because l didn't think he would be so excited instead of fearful.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked, confused.

"I- Normally everyone who sees me like that is terrified of me or something. Except for a few people."

"Why would they be fearful of you? I mean that's so cool man. I wish I had that. Now I feel down because my weapon is just a 'wooden' bow."

"Alright, you saw my weapon, now I wanna see yours." I said as I unsummoned my scythe.

"Don't get your hopes up." He said as he summoned his wooden bow.

More precisely, it was a longbow. It looked stury and had a few vines lining along the bow, also a few leaves. Also, It gave out mystic feeling. At that time nobody would have known how important it was to the elves.

After that we talked a bit more and then went to bed.
