Chapter 46 – Acceptance
After Welg’s challenge for a duel, we then headed to the academy training grounds. Along the way I met another teacher… she was a Xaelos, a being of divinity that only has an aura of white covering her… their race is much like of the humans except of their divinity… she has blonde flowing hair, wearing a dress like uniform with a little mix of dignity like what nobles wear, with metalia designs around it, she’s also a little smaller then me with a quite proportionate body… it seems she and her class are headed somewhere…
Nelus: Excuse me.
???: Hmm? What can… I… do… for…you…
She then turns towards my direction as her cheeks instantly flushed red as well as some of her students… as minutes passed she was still staring at me…
Nelus: …
Welg: What is taking so long!!
???: Waahh!! Ah… uhm… can I help you!!
She said as she shouts in surprise…
Nelus: We are headed to the academy training grounds.
Raldine: I-I see… and who are… you? My name is Raldine… Raldine Fedli.
Nelus: I’m Nelus, a new teacher, nice to meet you. (God’s Eyes… Hmm why is a queen teaching here…banished?)
Raldine FedliTitle:Xaelos Queen, Banished MonarchRace:XaelosGenderFemaleLevel:375ClassLux Style DancerExistence:S-C
Raldine: Eh? Uhm… nice to meet you too…
Raldine said as she put one hand on her chest as she feels it tighten… she then turns around and points towards a direction as she was embarrassed to stare at Nelus any further. She then told us that they are also headed there. She then told us to fllow her… I seem to notice that at times she glances at me as for the students, some of them are walking while just staring at me.
???: Hehehe… sir Nelus is quite the popular one.
???: Who can blame them having that kind of reaction.
???: Kyaa… sir Nelus is like a prince on those stories I heard when I was little…
???: Handsome and strong… he’s perfect…
Welg: …
My student then decided to chat with each other along the way as I then noticed that one of Raldine’s students twitched and whispered to Raldine.
???: M-miss Raldine look!
???: I-I am looking…
She said in a daze… as the female student pouted as she tries to get Raldine’s attention again.
???: Look at his crystal!
Raldine: His crystal…? Eeehhh!!?? X… rank…
???: X rank so awesome…
???: Eh… I didnn’t notice.
Raldine: Uhm… sir Nelus… are you a X rank?
Nelus: Yes…
Raldine: Wonderful… (Hmm… can I maybe? If it’s him… I’ll have to get him to go with me at all cost… I know… I’ll just tell him a part of it…)
She said as she looks at me with sparkling eyes… as if there was hope has returned to her…
Raldine: I know we haven’t met before but can you come with me to our city?
Nelus: Are you in trouble?
Raldine: How did you… I mean…
Nelus: That look on your face… it reminds me of someone… (Leo…)
Raldine: I know it must be…
Nelus: I’ll go… in return… can you guide me in the academy… about its rules, regulations and way of teaching?
Raldine: Yes! Thank you. (I’m sorry for the trouble that I will cause but… you’re the only one that can match… her…)
She said with an elegant smile on her face… all the boys blushed while Raldine calms down… but deep inside her there was a deep sadness but she didn’t show it in her face, instead, she was full of glee.
Raldine: By the way what are you going to do in the academy training grounds? I heard its your first day so it isn’t quite required by the principal for a field trial.
Nelus: Field trial?
Raldine: Ah… I will explain along the way…
As me and Raldine talked, on her student’s face were either jealousy or mischievous faces. As for Nelus’ student they were filled with tension as well as excitement to see how Nelus would fight Welg. It seems that field trial is something where the students will fight each other to get a representative… and that representative will work directly under the teacher… currently the representative in her class was a handsome male student named Jull, he is of the Colad race. A race consisting of beings that have the most pride out of all the beings… their most known features consists of a halo and razor like wings he then glare at me and say quietly…
Jull: She’s mine; don’t get in the way… I don’t care that you are an X rank. I will fight for her.
Nelus: …
???: There he goes again…
Jull: Quiet Faltor!!
Faltor: Hahh… ignore him… anyways good luck with your class… class 82 right? Good luck in teaching them.
Nelus: Yes.
Jull: Hmph! For a Colad it is taboo to be humble… tsk, tsk… I pity you Faltor!
Faltor: Its only taboo for you.
Jull: If it is taboo for me then it is taboo for the world! I mean the world does revolve around me you know!
Raldine: Were here! Look Nelus!
Nelus: Quite large.
In front of us was a building wider and taller than the buildings from before… at first I thought when I was farther away that it was a giant wall… this is quite unnaturally large…
Nelus: …
Raldine: Hahaha… that reaction, well I was like that at first but there is a reason why it is this big. It is because at times, our academy will host a tournament and it will determine the powers of the academies. Lux and Nox will always end up in different sets due to our rivalry while the other academies will do a lottery system in which set they will partake.
Nelus: I see… Welg are you ready?
Welg: I-I-I am…
Raldine: Uhm… why are you only calling him? Isn’t the reason why you brought you’re class for a demonstration of your magic? I mean you did tell me that you are the new elementals teacher… so I thought…
Nelus: No, it is because he challenged me to a duel…
Welg: Hahh… why does it have to be in front of so much people…
Raldine and her Students-in-unison: Eeehhh!!!??
Jull: Oh! This would be worthwhile to watch.
Faltor: Jull… your sadistic side is showing again…
Raldine: You mustn’t bully a student Nelus! Go easy on him.
Nelus: I will.
Welg: Stop treating me like a weakling! You can go all out! (Again… I should stop speaking while I’m at it…)
Nelus: …
Raldine: Now, now… anyways… we’ll watch for now… (I really want to see how strong you are… the trial can wait… though, I don’t think you will be showing me much of your power…)
As Welg and I entered one of the arena… all the other people stop what they are doing and watched him instead… as well as a certain someone around the corner…
Rezald: (Bro… to be challenged on the first day… what is he thinking in accepting!!?? Well I don’t think I should be the one saying this… as I was also…)
???: Sir Rezald, your greatness… why did you run off like that, don’t you see we of class 173 are very indebt in you for making us see our incompetence… we wish to learn from you some more.

Students-in-unison: Sir Rezald!
They all said with sparkling eyes and admiration while Rezald had a weary expression…
Rezald: (…What have I done… please… all of you… turn back the way you once were…)
???: Oh? Is he someone new? What!!?? An X rank…
???: Wait… I somehow recognize him… ahh!! He was with the great Sir Rezald when he came here…
Students-in-unison: As expected of the great Sir Rezald!!
Rezald: …
Welg then summoned his mana weapon… it was a short sword… he then prompts me to use my weapon as I refused. He then shrugs as he then cast
He was then enraged as he thought I was mocking his strength… as he kept attacking, I kept intercepting his weapon with my bear hands… to the ones watching… they were taken aback as when facing a weapon user it is unheard of fighting and intercepting it with just you’re bare hands as it is quite suicidal to do so… mana weapons are still weapons and if it hits someone immortal or not it will sustain them great damage because of its mana disrupting properties… as well as its physical effects… when you are hit by a mana weapon… the mana inside you will become out of control and will damage you’re insides…
???: Eeehhh!!?? Is he mad!? Fighting against mana weapons like that is dangerous!! Miss Raldine!! We should stop them at once!
Raldine: …No need… look… there doesn’t seem to be a sign of mana leak on his body… hahh… at the very start of the duel and I am already witnessing something unbelievable…
Rezald: Well as expected of Bro Nelus… even I am scared of his talent in mana control… the effects of a mana weapon are greatly reduced against him… only something like a manaform weapon will at least have a decent effect on him…
Welg: Grr!! Don’t just stand there defending! Attack me!! I can take it!
Nelus: (“Never attack a student”) I will not.
Remembering the principals word… he didn’t attack Welg… more and more Welg became angrier…
Welg: Take this!!
Welg then used his short sword used the skill light wave as he sent a air piercing light wave towards Nelus… as Nelus was going to attack the light wave… “only use force when necessary”… he then stopped his attack as Welg was astonished at Nelus’ actions… Nelus then sucked in the mana on his clothing as… the light wave suddenly disappeared and was sucked in by his clothing… suddenly an ethereal wing appeared behind Nelus as all the students look at him in a daze inside a storm of ethereal feathers shining under the light… all the girls screamed inside while flush red… all the men envied him as even they were mesmerized by the scene… just like the angels from before… some fainted and some were having a hard time breathing sue to their excitement…
Weld: Yaaahh!!!
Nelus: (“usage of magic is not allowed unless it is for teaching”) Welg is it? It seems you have a water aptitude inside you… let me show you what a water spell is like…
Nelus then cast,
Raldine: Enough! The winner is…
Nelus: No… let him…
Raldine: …
Hearing Nelus, she had no choice but to comply, she then returned and seated with the other students. Welg was red in total anger with a little sadness on his face due to his helplessness… seeing this… Nelus remembered… “when you notice that they are depressed you must smile for them”… Nelus then smile a dazzlingly gentle smile as the students squealed in excitement… him smiling like that was too much for them considering the still raining feathers around him… Raldine stared at perfection right in front of her… she had never seen someone like him… yearning grew on her heart as well as a sudden unknown grief… they then continued to watch… Welg was stunned at Nelus’ sudden action as he then said…
Nelus: If you want, I can make you stronger…
Deep in his consciousness, he truly wished to be strong, to be just like his father that he admire so instead of fenyong Nelus, he questioned him.
Welg: Can you really…?
Nelus: I am your teacher after all…
Finally he remembered… “whatever the situation you must take the chance to teach them”… he then approached him and grabbed his hand, he then blushed but quickly shook it off as he felt mana flowing in him as if trying to burst open something… suddenly from his palm water was gathering… as Nelus said…
Nelus: Try shooting it…
Welg then did what Nelus said as the water became a sphere… and blasted through the area towards the wall… even if the power was quite small, Welg started to become excited… what he used just now was water magic! He then tried again as Nelus instructed him and somehow managed to use another water ball… in his excitement he look towards Nelus as he then returns it with a smile… Welg then started to become embarrassed while also forgetting his anger… and said…
Welg: Thank you…
Nelus: Your welcome.
The reason Welg was joyous at using water magic was because of his father… one time when he was young… assassins tried to kill him… while his father came… he saw that a purple sword was heading towards Welg so in the spur of the moment, his father used… Aqua Blast as it then sent the assassin flying thus saving his life… ever since then he wanted to learn water magic… as he was unable to do so up until now he was frustrated… now he felt free…
Rezald: (I guess… I shouldn’t have worried over Bro Nelus, I should’ve trusted him. I always knew that you are quite capable. Hahaha… that child reminds me of the time in the cave when Bro Nelus was teaching me and Yora… anyways I have a problem of my own to solve…) Lets go.
???: Yes Sir Rezald!!
???: Kyaa!! The way Sir Rezald said that was so cool.
???: Sir Rezald take me!
???: Take me also!
Rezald: …
Rezald was speechless… as he then had goose bumps as he thought that the last thing that was shouted was by a male student… he then shook it off and head off with his students… as for Nelus… he continued to instruct Welg…
Andros: Hahaha!! It seems I have found quite a teacher here.
???: I want to fight him!!
Andros: Now, now… there are always time for that… for now keep testing him on how he will adapt in teaching the class.
???: Alright… my lord.
Andros: All of this is preparation for… anyways… I mustn’t be lax especially at a time like this… Nelus… Ciall said I can depend on you but I just need to make sure that I can…
