Two weeks had passed since I began my training. I found out that I couldn't use other bleach powers aside from Kenpachi. I regret it quite a bit, I wanted to try Yamamoto's Zanpakuto too. Such a waste.
Since I started my training, I wear Kenpachi's eye patch. And I didn’t remove it since then. I’m still wondering if it will work but it should be.
While on the way to the Inner city, I saw a crystal clear falls. I drank some water and saw my own reflection in much detail. The mirror here was made by bronze, it’s not that detailed. I thought that I was still a bit fat. But looks like I’m very wrong. There was never an ounce of fat in my body.
When I checked out my face, I asked myself if the kid was really me. A long black hair that tied up in the back of my head. A bit tan skin, I think it was because of my intense training. A narrow, square face with high positioned cheek bones. A pointed nose, thin lips and brown eyes that look like it can pierce anyone. I think, I know the reason the people I met was a bit reluctant. My eyes seem want to kill anyone. If there a shorter word to describe myself it should be a handsome looking killer. Anyway, my face was a lot better than my earth’s face.
Using the flash step, I arrived in the Inner city in less than five hours. There was a wide and tall golden gate in front of me that has a wide canal surrounded the big metallic walls. If I’m not mistaken, the brown bridge can pull out and that canal will be their somewhat another layer of protection. Quite an old school design, well, I’m not that knowledgeable in terms of architecture.
There’s no one walking beside me. All person who enters owns a carriage.
As I about to enter.
“Halt!” The knight that was holding a halberd shouted. And walked in front of me.
After a few seconds of checking me out, “Mister, Do you have a pass?” He asked in a respectable manner.
“No, I don’t have. But my name is Lee.. Lee Sevarius.. Can I enter?” I said while scratching the back of my head. They should let me enter right? Damn, I will be late if the process will take long.
“Lee Sevarius! Lee Sevarius? We thought.. that you’re dead! Two of your guards told us that someone assassinated you..Of course.. Please enter, please follow me.. I will take you to your father’s castle.. He needs to confirm if you’re really Lee Sevarius, you supposed to be a bit fat and white skin youth.. And what happened to your left eye.. ” He said in an excited manner while touching his black curly beard.
“Thanks, running from assassins made me skinny.. I couldn’t even eat properly.. My left eye was stabbed by one of the assassins. Anyway, please lead the way..” I said with a sigh and act dejected.
“That make sense! I’m sorry.. Please, Mr. Lee, ride this horse.” He said while checking the saddle of the horse.
“I don’t know how to ride horse..”
Damn.. Because of the flash step, I forgot that I still need to learn how to ride a horse.
“Oh, please wait I will prepare a bigger saddle..” He said and immediately went to some store.
....
After a few hours, we arrived at a castle that was quite similar to our house. It’s just a bit wider tho.
The guard gate talk to the one of the maid and they open the gate immediately.
Inside the spacious house, One of the young maids approached me. “Mr. Lee, I am Grace the head of this household maid. Your father is not here yet but we already inform him. He should be arriving in not more than two hours.. For now please take a bath and change your clothes. And of course, you can eat if you’re hungry..” She said in a modular tone and looked at my tattered clothes for a moment.
“I’m a bit full so.. I will clean myself first and please prepare my clothes..”
Even this maid is quite an exquisite beauty. Damn.. I can’t wait to grow up my manly thing..
“Your clothes was already prepared, Please follow me to the bathroom.” She said. Interrupted my dirty thoughts.
…
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
I changed my clothes to formal noble clothes. A brown long sleeve that has a golden intricate lining in the neck all the way to the front buttons. Black slacks and a pair of weird brown shoes. I’m happy that my eye patch is water resistant. I waited for my hair to dry and tied it to a ponytail style.
After some time, I went out to the bathroom. And walked to a room where my father and I will have a small meeting. As I walked through the corridors, all the maid had their eyes widen. I saw their cheeks were a bit red.
Hey.. Are they blushing I know I’m quite handsome but.. I look like a serial killer..
…
I sat in the room for half an hour and finally my father arrived.
He looked at me for a moment and sat down.
“How are you? If I do not know your eyes. I will not recognize you.. It’s my fault that someone tried to assassinate you.. I’m sorry my son.. I’m glad that you’re safe.. ” He said and bowed down to me.
“It’s all right father you can tilt your head back, I learned a lot from this trip.. Anyway, don’t worry about that.. I’m here now.. I should be safe inside this city..” I said while my father was still bowing his head.
“You should inform mom that I’m alive and kicking... Oh please tilt your head up it’s not your fault.. Your position is magnet to this kind of incidents..”
“How did you know..” He said and widen his eyes for a few seconds.
“Your mother still doesn't know that you’re missing the messenger was still far. I already order some people to do some revision in the news.. Can you tell me what did you experience?” He said and back to his usual businessman manner.
…
“What! Those old men!!! I need some evidence before I can act.. What about your left eye we can find a healer to heal that..” He said as he slammed the table and his face was dyed in red.
“Yea.. you should find some evidence.. And for my left eye, I think this is better. This will be a way to remember that I am weak. I need to become strong.” I said while my father was left in awe in my conviction.
“I always wondering.. If you’re still a kid.. Not because you’re a magicless you can’t be strong.. Look even I’m not strong physically and I can’t cast magic.. I’m still one of the feared person in this kingdom.” He said in a proud manner.
“Father.. I think we have some misunderstandings.. I want to become physically strong..” I muttered.
“What? What?” He asked and put his ears closer to my mouth.
“Oh, it's nothing.. I think I need to go to school now.. If I’m not mistaken this day is the last day of registration..”
…
I never thought that the top school was on an isolated island. I needed to ride in a small boat just to go there.
When I arrived, I saw the school buildings are no different than earth. They've literally looked alike from earth. It’s just their shape was a bit weird. It’s like they’ve adjusted from the island’s nature.
As I checking out the area. All students in the ground area were looking at me. When I about to ask one of the students. He distanced himself to me immediately. I tried and tried but yeah.. I remember my killer eyes.
I went to the buildings and asked the receptionist where should I register.
…
After some time, I arrived in the registration area for the freshman students. The problem was the very long line.
Damn.. This will be a waste of time.
When I’m about to fall in line, the student in front of me leave. I smiled to her and she distanced herself even more. I think I should've checked my smile back in the waterfalls.
Every time the student look at their back and see my face. They let me go first.
Woah.. I never thought that a killer face has some perks..
…
After a few minutes, finally my turn.
“Name? Age? Nature of magic?” The old man receptionist said in a lazy manner.
“Lee Sevarius, Ten years old.. Magicless..” I said in quite a serious manner. I have some bad vibes in this old man. It’s just I felt that he’s quite dangerous.
“Oh, you’re the son of the famous Cael Sevarius? Your description was wrong..” He said and looked to me up close. One of staff ran to him and whispered something in his ears.
“I see.. Poor kid.. I know your situation.. I know that you will pass our test with flying colors. But I think you need to rest first. I will have an exemption this time.. You passed the test here is your student Identification Card. Welcome to the Cerberus Institution..” He said and handed out a similar to an I.D object.
“Next!” He shouted. And looked like he’s back in his lazy manner.
Cool, A magical I.D. This is really a big mysterious weird world.
…
I immediately went home and rest. I wanted to ask some student but my eyes.. I already received my schedule and a map of the school. I should be fine tomorrow.
Before going to sleep. I’m still thinking if I should eat devil's fruit. I’m pretty sure that I will be weakened by water. And I already learned but not master the haki.
Also, I need to learn the basic of swords. The way I fought was not efficient.
…
(Milan POV)
When Thomas and I were about to killed someone interfered. I couldn't remain my mind to stay conscious.
After a few moments, someone was giving me some food. I just ate it, I lifted my eyes but only a little. It’s quite vague but I know it was Mr. Lee. After an hour or two my body became better. I think Mr. Lee gave us some health potions.
I stand up in difficulty and saw the mess. What the hell did happen?
The trees are in disorder and deep scars on the ground that looked like it came from swords. But I don’t see anyone, besides Thomas. I immediately check out Thomas and thank you, god. He’s still alive, he’s just unconscious.
“Mr. Lee! Mr. Lee!” I shouted at the top of my lungs. I went to the carriage but still there’s no sign of Mr. Lee. Even the bandits, even the one that I killed I didn’t see any of them.
I wanted to search Mr. Lee, but I remember that he gave us some potion. Maybe, he’s already in the inner city.
I put Thomas inside the carriage and went to the Inner city.
…
When we arrived, I immediately informed the guards our situation.
“I’m sorry, but Mr. Lee still didn’t enter the city.” The guard said while looking at the log book.
“What!” I roar and punched hard to the ground.
*Shing*
I heard a glass break sound. After a few moments, the ground that I punched were broken into pieces.
“What the hell did I do..”
