An exciting energy coursed through my blood and body almost like a drug leaving me in euphoria and it was that moment I knew I had awakened.
Thomas wolfpack/ Alves Don Caspers
When Alves came out of the room later he found the maid still waiting for him and without further ado they proceeded. Along the corridors Thomas found the blend between medieval and technology fascinating. Especially the knights which he saw along the corridors. Their armor a mixture of pure metal and technological for example the helmets with the eye tech visors.
He also felt a sense of inferiority in their presence as if he was just a bug they could swat away and not have to worry about later. It would have angered some but not the current Alves as he found it fascinating with such kind of guards and equipment he was sure business if undertaken correctly would truly make a fortune. He finally snapped out of his fantasy when he heard a loud noise as a huge door was opened and the maid asked him to follow.
In the room was a large round table filled with delicacies as a huge man with two other youths who appeared at least a year or two or older than him. His eyes raised as they stared at Alves and a pressure descended on him. Unwillingness aroused deep within him as he felt the same anger at his otherworld father rise and defiance in his eyes bloomed and he held both hands on the floor to make sure he did not kneel before the man before him. And just as it started it all ended. A rough and calm voice devoid of emotion reached his ears as it echoed in the room, “At least your awakening made a Dra-lion cub out of you. Now sit and eat you cannot miss another week of your studies at the academy classes have already began.”
As he stood up a notification box popped up before his eyes. Reading through it quickly he understood what happened and sat down with a nod from his two brothers and the meal continued.
You have learned: Aura resistance
A master class warrior leveled his aura to your level to test your will and you pass albeit barely.
You have acquired a new talent : Resistance you are now able to acquire more skills related with resistance.
The meal continued in silence with the occasional conversation between his brothers who seemed to be discussing something about tier crystals and how this year’s academy tournament the winner would be given four pale blue crystals. The rest really didn’t make much sense to him.
When the meal ended his father ordered him to follow him to his study before heading to the academy. His father’s office was dark with many armors and weapons decorating the room giving him the feeling as if he was being ushered into a military recruitment office. After sitting down Duke Caspers opened a drawer and threw a pouch at him. Alves opened the pouch and saw fifteen pale green crystals.
Looking intently at the crystals a pop up appeared.
Acquired 15 pale green tier crystals
Use: consume 4 at periods of 3 days between to rise a level.
Reminder: the process is very painful since you are forcibly upgrading the body with the worlds mana.
A gasp escaped his mouth as he stared at the pop up disappeared. Without glancing at him again his father told him to go, the maid then insisted that they head out immediately towards the academy so as not to anger the master. Alves wondered why the girl was so insistent on coming with him and scanned her but the system didn’t give him much only what she was to him.
NAME: ???
CLASS: ???
HOUSEHOLD RANK: PERSONAL MAID TO ALVES DON CASPERS.
It turns out she was his personal maid and also explained why she disapproved of him. As his personal maid the lazy old Alves definitely did not give a good impression but he sensed there was more to it than just that. Especially the way she was disgusted by him it was a look he knew too well. The girl seemed to be rebelling at him in a personal intimate level, and assuming he was correct she was not in the least happy.
As he continued to observe her, he also noticed some things that were not obvious at first. The first being her hair which was blonde was tied back in a ponytail, this would have been normal if he did not notice elven ears that were twitching around like a cat listening intently for the squeak of a mouse to jump upon. In short she was not a normal maid. Her legs were slender and her curves would have been distracting for some people but ‘Alves’ was used to pretty women. It was also as he looked at her legs that her movements were not simple but like a sneaking panther in the darkness prowling for prey.
It also seemed that he had also stared at her too much that she looked but at him and raised her eyebrow in askance though the annoyance was obvious on her face. She observed him intently for a moment her eyes a normal black then showed confusion as she turned and continued walking or more like variation of footsteps. During all this Alves said nothing to her whatever she assumed did not matter after all Rome was not built in a day.
When he stepped out of the house hold he saw a car of this world which to say the truth was not much than a levitating carriage with a person at the front controlling the spell. It was beautiful though almost ‘unreal.’ Well it could have described as nothing as unreal since this was a game but he was not supposed to care about that. The maid opened the door and bowed as he entered and sat down, closing the door a minute later she opened her mouth and he was surprised at how white and aligned her teeth were. He had to admit she was on par with Angie and above Elisabeth without a doubt.
“Young master, we shall head to the academy now. Hope you haven’t forgotten what day it is today? Driver, please let’s move.”
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The girl stared at her young master as a confused expression came upon his face and knew that he had already forgotten what day it was. She had expected this to happen but she had just wanted to believe that after the awakening sleep her useless master would know how serious of a problem they were in. Especially with her life hanging on him releasing her after all her class was special. It was a class many people had a dream of but few than 3 or 5 would awaken every 10 years.
She wanted to find herself a worthy master as that was what her class demanded and not in name they had to possess that special class that could pay with hers. But as far as she knew from the rumors only two had been found at the academy and another 7 females who possessed her class were found too. Which meant there was going to be a very tough competition ahead since a normal master could possess two of her class but the talented could go to three. Three was the highest a master had ever managed to possess three of her kind and those were geniuses.

But still that did not mean much to her, for those of her class many had ended up walking the world alone few ever really met their true masters that they approved. Why one would ask? It was quite simple really no one would be willing to serve weaklings or a fool with no promise or a prominent future. The world had advanced a lot with the technology but one must never forget this was a world of magic and swords.
A voice that was almost so different than what she recognized came to her asking her a question.
“So what is your name?” she heard the young master say.
Frowning, she looked at him for a moment as she realized the scorn and useless pride that was usually in his voice was missing. Instead it contained confidence and freedom as if he had no care what people thought about him or what this happened around him. This was not the first time she noticed, when she had gone to call him per the masters summon she had noticed the tone and thought nothing of it but now she was not sure. It was as if she was sitting with a totally different person. She wondered what had gone in his Astra’s dream which was something only few people suffered from. And these people would usually just fall asleep from time to time and would only wake up when they wanted to. However, if it happened that they die during the dream then so be it after all death was only natural.
Her young master was one of these people. She quickly thought this within a short span of 3 seconds that when she answered her young master would never know a whole monologue had undergone in her head.
“My name is Bella, Young master.”
“Just call me Alves when it’s the two of us.”
“Excuse me….” Her mouth wide open for a moment wondering whether the spirits were spouting nonsense in her ears.
With a sigh the Young master signed, “I said you have to call me Alves when we are alone. That’s an order by the way.”
“Of course Youn…I mean Alves.” Since it was an order what else could she do.
The rest of the ride was silent that even the breathing between them was so loud and unbearable. However, spared any more of that silence they arrived at the academy. Not only were there plenty of cars just like theirs with other students arriving but also many students arriving on their mounts and pets. Bella wondered when her master would get the mind to purchase one of his own and stop the debauchery and laziness he was known for.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Alves stood their observing his vicinity and the other youths here to take the awakening test as he had heard from all the group discussions around him. From what he gathered it seemed just to test ones’ power qi reserve as well as what class had been acquired through their lives or granted by the bastard gods who now ruled the world after the Ancients were all destroyed. However, he could also see that they all harbored a deep disdain and arrogance towards him a likely reminder of what a waste his character was starting out as.
But not only did he not give it his slightest worry or thought but also considered this an opportunity to carry out his plans that were being drawn up in his head. After all what was better than a rich and conniving leader and business man, nothing for this gave him the opportunity to be as ruthless and scheming as he could be. No one would see him coming just like an old cow suddenly eating young grass in a desert. In other words, he would appear just like a thief. His thoughts were however, interrupted as the gates to the academy were opened by a guard wearing heavy armor with a bastard sword and sniper gun.
Behind the large door stood a group of five people, appropriately two men, three women. The oldest of them, a middle aged man in armor walked ahead and addressed them with a deep commanding voice that radiated poor. Most of the others immediately fell to their knees only few of us were left standing. For me it was mostly due to aura resistance which I had acquired early, by the way it was too easy how I acquired it. Unless this skill had something to do with my class. It seems I really needed to acquire more information on my class or classes in general before I got too far ahead and realized I had not taken something important into account.
Surprisingly Bella was still standing albeit a bit strained. Her will power was really good then which was something I would not have expected from a doll like person like her, or Angie and Elisabeth either. Guess women and girls in here were generally built stronger since they still had to survive all the wars and monster attacks I suspected were prevalent in this world. This was good though with women like this am sure I could come up with plenty of uses for them. I wonder if there was slave trade in this game after all the world was called Bastardy’s for crying out loud but who knew. Whatever will take it one step at a time, this was not a race about who was the fastest, strongest or any of that useless beliefs but about who would remain standing and on top.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Sir Rudolph von Griffin was now a half-step master ranker for the past 5 years, and this had also given him the position of head instructor at the Scorching Sun Elite Academy. He was also the strongest half-step solo battle fighter in the Alvatros True Empire. Masters were already people who would not show themselves and almost spent all their lives in the dungeon realms of the B rank dungeons. Today was the day he was welcoming another bunch of students to the academy. He was to divide them into three categories specifically.
One was the mediocris, second was supra average and lastly innaturalis. The first group would be lowest class and mainly consisted of those with less than 160 power/mana qi reserve. In other words, they had nothing special to them although this is not to say they would not be others who could cause surprises later on. The second group was the middle classes and had less than 280 power or mana qi reserve. The last group consisting of the higher classes and had no less than or equal to 380 power or mana. This group were considered monsters since they were destined to cause ripples in the continent should they be allowed the chance to rise above the rest and most importantly live long enough to achieve it.
Such a case of this was the other man behind him, his name was Sir Fleur von Stormwind and his two women behind him Marlena Cinders and Seraphim Whispers. They had a very special class that could be considered a game changer on the continent. The elf woman next to them was actually royalty from the Favored clan which was just a roundabout way of saying that she was a light elf. Her name was Lady Esthis and she was one hell of a battle mage. But for now the test was the most important matter to handle. So enhancing his voice with power qi he began the acceptance ceremony.
“Welcome to the scorching sun elite academy, you are all here to participate in this year’s entrance ceremony for classes course that you will be awakening before the god’s platform today. Remember your class has already been decided by the gods so no matter what class you get it will still depend on your power or mana qi amount whether you will be accepted. Lady Esthis arrange their order I will be waiting at the Awakening ground and Sir Fleur and company will be in the qi quantity rooms.”
And with that Sir Rudolph walked back inside with everyone else leaving the lady alone as she observed the potential new students. As her eyes looked around the crowd they fell upon a huge teen in the crowd, he was not fat to be exact just…huge she thought. His hair was ash gray and his eyes seemed like globes of fire but what attracted her attention was the girl, a maid to be exact who if her memory served her right was one of those eight for this year since 400 years to be exact. The boy though seemed uninterested and was observing his surroundings as if searching for something interesting to do.
At the front of the crowd was the third prince of the empire, His Royal Highness Prince Alnice Don Graham Garcia the 2nd. He was said to have exceptional chance of succeeding the throne if one overlooked his older brother who was a genius berserker knight known for his contributions with demons at the border of the demon lands. Smiling she knew that at least this year there was bound to be something interesting to do. Looking at her smartwatch she sent her message to all the people gathered around 500-meter radius and had tags designated as students the message.
In the order of your names starting from A-M please enter the academy in two lines male and female.
Once inside in groups of 15 boys and girls each stand around the Awakening platforms perimeter and wait as Sir Rudolph carries out the incantation and do nothing else during that time.
Once you feel an exciting rush follow the waves through your body.
May your awakening be a higher one.
And with that the process began as droves of teenagers entered the Academy. The Lady stood there and watched to make sure that nothing would go wrong so that they may complete this process much quicker. But who though the saying man proposes, gods opposes. A shout rang out as she saw a glove flung out at the huge teenager she saw earlier and the words she never thought she would hear almost every day right here at the ceremony. Did these brats not have priority for their classes and this bullshit for the later days.
“I Bruce von Shadows, son of Duke Shadows hereby challenges Alves von Casper’s, son of Duke Casper’s to a duel for the humiliation suffered by my fiancée.” A self-righteous youth yelled as he looked at the huger teen who was in turn looking at his maid with a look that screamed ‘who’s this fool.’
