And another morning it was close to 6 o clock everyone was still sleeping i didnt have to work
i asked Lucy about it she said that i have to at least come ones 3 days and help out to use the smeltery.
I got up and got ready to to go out i was as quite as i could be and took albi with me she still was sleeping one of
the thinks i know is that she never was good with sleep so she didnt care much when i moved moved her around when she slept.
I was ready and got to the door until.
-Damon dont be late today come at 7 or 6 a representive of the academy you will attend will come to
test you so dont be late okey.
I baffled that she could tell that i was about to leave was it intuition ? no i didnt see such a skill
in her list well i dont really care but the academy representive ? a test huuh.
-sure mom i be there
As i said that i left the house drew was standing in front of the entrance ready to go out i asked her.
-how did you know i was about to go ?
-ehmm we live together so i noticed that you wake up pretty early and go out so ehm...
-sure lets go then
Seeing her like that is still very irritating for myself but i cant blame her she saw me slaughter people
so she must be cautions about me some way or another but still i want her to relax somehow.
-hey drew what did you do these past days how was the village ?
I needed to get her to talk more often to get close so she could relax.
-I ehm.. t..the village was at first not that good but working there got me a little closer i thing some people
are still hostile to me but i dont blame them of course and what i did was pretty much follow you around speak with ms.white
and go with albi shopping
From what i got was that some of the people her dont trust her its no wonder but its not like she is being
ignored or violated they know that the princess agreed on her staying with me so they wouldnt
try anything funny i am glad that some people do help her though seeing her i wondered how old she was
i could only guess the first time
-Hey drew how old are you where are you from ?
-I..I am 16 and i come from a mountain village in Suzurian
Suzurian huh the biography of this world is different with each continent that is split in all of the six races
Only Beasts,Elves,Humans,Dwarves use names for their land and Demons and Orcs use clan names and those are
more complex because there are over 30000 clans in each of those races.
Looking at drew i didnt think she was that young 16 she is 9 years older then me huh
-So where did you learn magic ?
Drew gasped at my question and tried to look for a answer
-you dont have to answer if you dont want to drew its your free will we made the contract that i will protect
you in return you protect me and follow my orders
Ones again drew flinched at my words and said in a very low one.
-Follow any order...
I didnt get gist of it that much but i was still curious.
-lets make it like this i tell you what magic i used in return you tell me about yours how does that sound ?
Drew was thinking about my void magic and suddenly got red shaking her head left ad right and said.
-Deal !
-Okey me first
I said and so i explained her my void skill she gasped a couple times about it asking questions
and so on we were walking to the village it takes 30 minutes to get there and by talking i made
my pace slower to make the conversation longer on the way albi woke up and looked at me at first
with confusion and then got back to sleeping i didnt tell drew that the cat is albi because right now
it wasnt really good timing to anyone know about it we talked and talked for 1 hour straight
and came to a finish as we came to the village.
-We are here i go to the library first if you want to come i be there for another hour and go to the battle school
so
drew seemed to want to talk some more about me so she nodded and followed me around i and again i could feel
those people stare at drew also could feel those stares and came a little closer to me for protection
and in that manner we came to the library at the main hall to the receptionist
-hello there i would like to look into some books
The receptionist himself looked stiff with really long ears and purple eyes he looked at me with that annoyed
gaze as if saying "you dont have the brain to read" or something.
-Go to the left there are some shelfs that you can look into and see if you find something interesting
and here take this
He gave me a wooden cart that had a triangle on it
-this is a numerus it will count the amount of books you read and count them right now there isnt a number
but if you put your blood in the triangle it will show you the number of books you have read
the reason for this is a competition in which people read books and the highest gets a prize the prize
will be determined in the amount of books you have read the prizes will be choosen by the winner
all guilds are the prize givers so if yo win you can choose the prize from that guild.
It was a long explanation so i just bit my thump and put blood into the cart
The result was that the cart started to make weird shapes in it and then it stopped
457891
that was the number of the cart i almost mistook that as my number for a hospital
I was thinking how i got into such a ridiculous number looking back where i read books at home i didnt
remember how many i have read so far so i wanted to know how this worked but i didnt want to
waste time on it and just continued my way and asked drew
-by the way how do you use magic ?
I already knew how to but i never really made practice for it and continued reading because my priority was
information about this world not magic i knew the concept of magic up to master level it is like math and with my memo
skill i have it all in my head like a bullet in a cartridge.
-magic you concentrate your mana and chant the words for the spell it depends on how strong the spell
is you can say the words or say them in your mind to cast them a lot of people say them to make it easier
to use the spell.
the concept n chanting was like a shortcut for the spell i read that all spells were made from runes then words
compined runes and techniques made the spell like putting your hand up and putting mana into it
people can chant to activate the spell for more speed casting mind chanting is harder and mages use it rarely
when they have more time or are in a tight spot for a suprise attack.
-oh is that so can you show later how you use a spell ?
-sure if you want
Drew seemed to relax more so our talk did to seem pay off at least so i proceeded on reading different
kind of spells more like debuffs and buffs the spell them selfs werent there that was predictable
but i still got some concepts on them to basic through master level i thought
why dont they have the actual spells then concepts on how they work and how they are used that sounds
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
really dumb if you ask me
I read some more magic books about runes,seals and spirits there were the so called elementalists that used
contracts with other spirits to use them to fight it was really interesting i searched more about weapons and etiquette
in this world i couldnt find anything close to a gun or a cannon so i gave up and looked at the clock 7:40
etiquette in this world is normal if i may say so there were some pretty messed up lines in some books that
i have to look better into but i can trust it so far the reason i am studying etiquette is because of the academy
i will need hell good of manners if i want to be accepted by the others.
Seeing the clock i called drew she was reading a story book when i called out to her she jumped from her chair
she got really into i guess drew got red when she saw me and followed me i told her she can take the book with her
if she wanted to she refused thou.
Drew and i made our way to the exit and on the way i saw a board with peoples names on it and next to it a number
the highest was 3275 there were 10 names i guessed that this is the top 10 people in this event so just laughed a little
and got out
On our way i asked drew if she wanted to eat something she said that i dont have to buy her anything but i refused and bought some fruits and fish for albi she was sleeping this whole time until we came to he market she jumped from my head
and stood in front of a fish stall that was the signal for something albi wanted so i just bought it.
Drew had question marks above her head on why i bought so much fish but she didnt ask so didnt answer her either
later on we were going to the battle school i wasnt here over the past week and catherine said she would pick
me up but i was already here i hope she isnt at my house right now
With those thoughts i entered the battle school i looked around nothing really changed well it was just a week
I looked around hoping to find a familiar face and there she was catherine she was hitting a scarecrow
i approached to greet her and she turned her head seeing me she cheered up and ran at me with full speed
drew got panicked by that and took her distance from me in the other hand albi was still sitting on my head
she was calm as ever and wanted to see the show in my view of perspective i guess.
Catherine closed in and threw her fist at my torso i deflected the fist grabbing her at her waist and throwing her
away from me she landed next to the wooden swords and picked one up she threw 2 swords to me i catched at the
moment when she threw the swords she already closed the distance between us and used a stabbing move with
her sword i jumped avoiding the stab and landing backwards 2 meter away from her she ones again charged at me
with her sword ready for a slash i used her speed against her by side stepping and moving on her back where i skillfully
hit her wrist making her sword drop and my sword resting on her chin.
-I surrender
-you have to watch your opponent more your moves are okey but dont just go without a plan you will get
vaporized if you do
-understood watch opponent
Everyone who saw the show were jaw dropping even drew and the instructor they had and complex expression on
what to say but catherine spoke first
-i want you to teach me how to use the sword and martial arts as well !
yeah that was the deal i made with her she wants me to teach her how to fight i would do that but before that
-I have to say one thing first after 2 months i will be going to a academy to learn more about magic
so will teach you only 2 months
Catherine frowned at that and puffed her chest
-you said that you would teach me!
-yes but i never told you when i would stop teaching you
catherine couldnt argue with that she herself knew pretty well that she wasnt the brightest light in the world
like her sister so she couldnt blame him for that.so she thought for a second and as if a light bulb shined
above her head she said
-what academy will you attend ?
-why do you ask ?
-just wanna know
I was thinking and came to the realization that i didnt know the name of the academy mother may have forgot to tell
me or i just forgot i ask her later for that but wait the representive will come today well i find a way somehow
-i dont know i didnt ask
Catherine had that smug grin as if ridiculing me i just shugged and started teaching her hand to hand combat
We trained for 6 hours i wasnt aware of the time what i teached her was shaoling Kung Fu i learned it
when i was in tour in china there are in total of 5 styles in that martial art i showed her the basics of all 5
the crane,tiger,leopard,snake and dragon i told her that she has to practice perception and speed if she wants
to fight better at first she was confused on how my strange moves are even considered as
martial arts she laughed at it and said that she wants to learn something else i told her that i will use those
moves only and have a duel she agreed on the spot and utterly defeated.
lars came closer to look at cathrines training kung fu is considered as a martial art that needs expert timing
an precision and dedication 3 thinks that catherine utterly sucks in so in other words too
perfect for her after 6 hours of non stop training catherine passed out seeing that i carried her
Lars told me that she lives next to the elder chiefs house so i carried her there and when i arrived i found sophia
she was sitting on a table looking at a board that looked like chess and when she noticed me she said
-oh ! what did happen to catherine !
-she just got exhausted from training she needs some rest thats all
-ohh i am relieved by the way hello damon didnt see you for a week
-i had thinks to do and just finished catherine asked me to train her
-ohh thats what it was
Sophia showed me where catherine's room was her room looked normal like any other i am kinda embaressed that i had
some expectations
Sophia seeing me frown for a little giggled and left the knights returned when we got out the all had a pale face seeing
me they didnt talk the leader averted his eyes from and were silent so i just left
It was really peaceful on our way home i thought of everything that had happened and so on
albi sitting on my head talking to me it was one of those times where you just want to walk thinking
of nothing in that manner we finally reached my house were mother was standing in front of the door
-hey Damon i am glad you are in time the representive is in our living room come on
-before that what school am i going again ?
-ohh the school is called Alanora Academy
With that i entered the house where a beautiful blonde woman was sitting she greeted me
-Hello Damon i heard a lot about you my name is Isneralda i am the principal of the academy of alanora
-Hello my name is Damon and i liked to learn more about magic
