Walking down the long stretch of hallway filled with old artifacts, and deep in his thoughts.... Leon let out a heavy sigh of relief, knowing that the hardest part was done.... Talking to the Principal.

He had just left the Principal's office and was being escorted to the Class1-F classroom by a teacher.

(Flashback)

"Yes, your father did inform me ahead of time, before you arrived... But I don't understand why a high-ranking Noble like you would do this... " the Principal said in disbelief.

The office went silent for a while, before Leon gave his explanation again.

'But didn't I give a good explanation...? What else would I say to him? I can't say that I got reincarnated...' (Leon)

Leon pondered to himself.

"But I already answered this question." Leon replied to the Principal confidently.

"Yes.... But I didn't feel satisfied with your answer..." The principal responded back.

"Anyways, let's move along from this conversation then." The principal said, cutting off the conversation, "You're a brilliant student like your older brother... So, why did you decide to go into the lowest class in the academy? You have good grades, you know?"

"Hahaha..."

Leon laughed awkwardly, while he sat in his seat... And so Leon and the Principal continued to talk about random stuff, and that went on for a few more minutes...

'I just can't wait to start a new life at the Military Academy! But I have to try and raise my star count, in the least suspicious way as possible... Oh, and help my classmates rise the ranks in the academy...' (Leon)

Leon thought, as he clenched his fist in excitement... But the Principal didn't notice that at all... The atmosphere in the office was a good one, Leon was super excited to begin his first year in the academy.

"Alright, Leon... Since you're no longer known as Leon Alexander von Blaze, I'll have to give you a monthly allowance, just like the other students who are not descendant of Noble blood..." The principal explained.

"So, how much would that be? I hope it's not a small amount."

'I hope it's not a small amount of money.... If that's the case I would have to find a part-time job... And from what I heard from father, the academy doesn't allow people who work a part-time job... It's tough for an ordinary person.' (Leon)

Leon pondered about the situation that was bothering him. His mind was racing.

"Well, it would be around... Uhh.... N10,000 Noars..." The principal answered.

"Huh...? 10,000 Noars?!"

Noars, the official currency of the Holy Light Empire. Although many kingdoms, Provinces, and city states under the Empire's sphere of influence uses their own currency.

"Fine... Let's do this, then!"

So Leon and the Principal shock hands and agreed with each other, and continued talking with each other once more.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

(End of Flashback)

Leon sighed heavy once more and looked down. The teacher who was escorting him, turned around.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" The teacher asked him .

"Oh, nothing.... I was just thinking about lots of things." Leon responded to the teacher.

"Alright, if you say so...."

"Hmm..."

Leon and the teacher who was escorting him continued to walk to his class, keeping quiet and not talking to each other. While they were walking to the class someone Was waiting for them, hiding in the shadows.

The strange person stepped out of the shadows and stood in front of Leon and the teacher. They stopped right in their tracks and stared at the strange person. As the person's identify revealed and he stepped out into the light, it turned out to be Karl Stuart who stepped out.

Both Leon and the teacher were shocked to see Karl Stuart there, it was like if Leon's nightmares were coming true. The teacher instantly backed away from Leon, as four other people stepped out of the shadows and surrounded Leon. Backing him up into the wall.

"Huh...? W, what is this, Karl Stuart? Why are you picking on an innocent guy?" The teacher asked Karl, shivering with fear.

"Hehehe, shut up and stay back, you stupid teacher!" Karl said mockingly. With a evil smile on his face.

"Yeah! Stay out of this, teach!"

"Yeah!"

"Hehe..."

"What? Would you defy the orders of the heir to the Stuart family?!"

Karl's gang joined in the conversation, agreeing with their boss. Karl Stuart and his gang continued to back Leon into the wall and continued closing in on him, towering over him.

"So, you think you can defeat me and get away with it? So you think you can embarrass me in front of everyone?" He asked Leon , as he narrowed his blue eyes.

Leon felt Instantly frightened by Karl Stuart.

"Uhh, no?"

Leon responded to Karl Stuart threat. His mind was racing thinking about what Karl Stuart would do to him.. Either way, he couldn't escape from his punishment.

"Hmm... Now since I get a closer look at your face, you kinda look like an old arch enemy of mine... What was it again? Oh, and you two have the same name too, and look alike! Ah, this would be a lot of fun punching in your face!" Karl said with a wide smile on his face.

'Yes. This would be a lot of fun! Now is time for my revenge!' (Karl)

'Huh? Do I look familiar to him? It's been a long time since I looked properly at myself into the mirror... Hopefully I don't die. ' (Leon)

Leon lifted his head and stared at Karl Stuart who was towering over him, like a giant and looking intimidating at him. His narrowed blue eyes stared daggers into his soul, and his long blonde hair that was covering his face.

'Never thought that he would come for me that soon... I was prepared for it but, not so early.' (Leon)

"S, so what do you want with me? Please don't hurt me!" Leon asked Karl Stuart, pleading with him not to hurt him.

He smirked and said to him, " a duel. I want a rematch! "

Karl wanted a rematch to prove himself in front of the instructors and students, he wanted to be the most popular guy in the first years. Leon couldn't help but to smile inwardly.

"I, Karl Stuart challenge you to a duel. In the next few weeks from now at the battle arena. Don't chicken outta the challenge, hehehe!" Karl declared to Leon and the teacher, before walking away with his gang.

"You better be there if you don't want the academy to be a living hell for you!"

One of his friends threatened and the others just chuckled. And thus Leon and the teacher resumed their journey to his class. The teacher quickly apologized to him for not doing anything to stop the bullies, and they continued to walk to his class.

As they walked passed the other classes Leon quickly noticed how all of the classes looked modernized. And as they walked down the corridor the difference between the best and worst classes began to seem apparent.

The highest grade classes in the academy looked pretty luxurious and modernized, but to medium to low grade classes in the academy looked rather outdated.... Most especially the1-f classroom.

When they arrived at the class1-f classroom, and Leon entered he greeted the class and went to a random seat in the classroom. This year the Military Academy had a few amount of students in the1-f classroom... Around 10 students was in the class this year.

His seat was conveniently placed next to Samuel's . The classroom had old desks and bench and looked more outdated than every other classes.

'The Military Academy is a battle place.' (Leon)

Leon pondered to himself about the situation that he's in.

"Hey, nice to have you here, Leon dude!" Samuel exclaimed.

Leon just smiled awkwardly at Samuel.

"Yeah, yeah.."

Leon muttered to himself... As he pondered about the future in the academy.
