Book 1 - Chapter 3-The new student who arrived late

Walking on the well paved road heading towards the academy, you can still see the remains of the previous parade. Stalls are still open and a lot of people are still walking towards different direction.

Holding a skewered meat on one hand and a bag on the other, a young man is slowly walking on this well paved road while taking this opportunity for sightseeing.

"As expected, a lot of thing did change throughout the years"

Voicing out his own opinions while seeing the change in the city, that seems different from his memories.

Not before long he arrived at the entrance gate of the school. The gates were huge befitting to its reputation; the gates are made from really sturdy materials as if made to withstand any type of attack. Its height is several meters tall enough to block huge demons on its path.

Looking at his back then left and right before looking upward, a weird grin came from his mouth. He gathered some power into his legs then tried jump over the gate; Quite childish but its a feat that cannot be easily done by others, even some high ranking demon hunters all they can do is jump midway then climb the remaining distance.

Some outstanding ones might reach near the end but still, jumping over it is not possible unless assisted with some kind of flight magic. That’s how great these gates and the wall surrounding the whole academy is. You can also feel some mana emanating on the gates and some weird runes embedded on it, meaning the gate was also reinforced with magic.

on his jump, he quickly reached the top of the gate and having quite the distance between his body and the top of the gate, the gravity then pull his body downwards causing him go over on the other side of the gate.

*thump*

With a back flip in midair and a smooth landing while having both of his hands held diagonally upwards he said "Landing success" with a grin.

He looks around to check if anyone saw him, after confirming that there are no other people around, he walk towards the nearest building as if nothing happened.

Since no one have ever though that someone will jump over to enter. There are neither triggers nor traps placed to cope up with this situation. Usually it’s either forcing its way destroying the walls or aerial assault which the main trigger it the size of the creature, since there are normal birds flying the sky.

Using summoned creatures as spy to go over is also useless since it is set to cut any outside mana connections, making the summoned creature to disappear.  

inside the building you can see students that are reading a book, some are merrily talking to each other and some are just minding their own business heading towards to who knows where.

Nobody is paying any attention to him because he made sure that he wore the uniform issued by the school so he won’t stand out and blend in.

"So what should I do now?"

“Avoiding attention is a huge success but I’m quite lost”

“Since I’m really a transfer student I need to head towards the head masters office. The question is, where IS the head masters office”

Walking around aimlessly, he walks towards every corridor and hallways, every left and right turn, until he finally reach a point where he hit his patience limit.

“Damn where the heck that office is, but before that what the heck is this place?”

The surrounding walls of the hall way began to change and huge amount of mana began to emit from those walls.

“Gaaaah ok that’s it I’m using that” losing his temper while scratching his head rapidly he began to gather mana but.

“Wait using that is fine but I don’t even know what or rather who am I looking for, I never met the head master in person”

Completely losing all of his option by normal means and knowing next nothing about the school grounds, well he is really in deep trouble.

“Ok let’s do the most logical thing to do, let’s ask around”

Around at the same time he saw a small group of people walking towards him in the opposite direction. The group has two girls and some guys walking behind them.

“Nice timing”

With a smile on his face he approaches the group.

“Hello Good day to all of you”

The group suddenly halts and the people around those two girls began to emit killing intent.

*gulp* ‘did I do something wrong?’

While thinking like this, some guys tried to approach him with an angry face and a glare that wants to kill.

“WHO ARE YOU?, do you know who you’re talking to? HUH?”

Suddenly a hand block his way, he stopped and looks at the owner of that hand.

“Vincent, don’t be unreasonable and from the looks of it he’s a new student”

“But miss Letica, even so. At least he must know who he was talking to”

*sigh* “Vincent, did you notice a vacant seat in the ceremony earlier?”

“ooh that? Hmp. That student, to think that there is someone who had the audacity to not attend our goddess speech”

“It seems you’re thinking about it in the wrong way. Look at him he might be that student and from what I see he just arrived on the academy and approach us to ask for directions”

“SOOOO, it’s this punk huh”

“VINCENT!” in an angry tone the other girl called out and gave a ferocious glare.

“I- I’m sorry for getting carried away, but-“

“Enough, it’s just a simple thing and do you realize that what you’re doing is shaming us instead?”

Upon realizing what she said, Vincent lowered her head towards the girl and said.

“… My apologies… It would never happen again”

“…” Staring at him while giving a single nod, she set him aside and converse with the person who approaches them.

“Now, since you’re the one who approached us, state your name and purpose”

“huh?, ah yes. I’m Kin, just like the lovely lady said I just got here and I am expected to report directly to the head master upon arrival” breaking off his thoughts after seeing something amusing ‘too bad it ended too soon’ is what he thought.

*giggle* “ you do know how to flatter a woman” the woman named Letica gave a small laugh while thinking about kin’s circumstances. “As you might already know I’m Letica, Letica Barbose. And this is my best friend Clarissa Crane. The one with the loud voice is Vincent. As for the others” She paused and looks at the rest of the guys. “Just ignore them”

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

“””“wha..””””

Every one of them became surprised since they were expecting her to introduce them one by one and thinking of their name being mentioned. They became quite happy, but their expectation just went down the drain after what she said.

“Lady Barbose please…”

“What? If you want to know each other you should do so on your own”

“…”

The guys looked at each other and then introduced themselves one by one.

“Now that the introductions are done, so why would a new student need to report to the head master?”

Letica ask him with full of curiosity since it was never been the head masters job to personally accommodate a new student.

“Ah! That’s because I was forced-. I mean recommended by the << Great Council >> to study in this institution”

“Oh? That’s strange I never heard something like this ever happened before”

Now the people in front of him have these curious expressions. Since the << Great Council >> is the highest form of authority higher than kings. They would not easily give out recommendations and even if they did it was never in a form of a student transfer.

Usually its recommendation for certain jobs that has some complex situations where in the << Great Council >> needs to intervene. Or a recommendation addressed to certain rulers for a certain excellent individuals to investigate some cases or work that needs certain specialties.

These are usually request towards the << Great Council >> by certain individuals or groups that have huge influence or have major concerns that cannot be solved by ordinary means. Thus they will send a request to the << Great Council >> and in return the << Great Council >> will send a group or individuals depending on the case and these people will carry a recommendation from the council.

So in this case it will not be an exaggeration to be called first in history.

“Well … there … is always a first?”

Kin answered like he is asking them while slightly tilting his head, acting all innocent as if he does not know what they are talking about.

“Why are you speaking as if you’re asking instead? Any way do you have the proof?”

“Oh yeah the proof”

Kin began searching his pockets one by one searching for the proof Leticia wants.

“Huh? That’s strange; I know I put it here somewhere.”

Kin keeps searching while the other is turning impatient.

“Do you have it or not? If not. He he he, let me escort you out. Don’t worry I will be gentle, I will just kick you’re a** and send you out like a beaten dog. Ha ha ha ha”

The others did not say anything on what Vincent have said. Since he claims that he was recommended here, he must show the proof or else the punishment in misusing the << Great Council >>’s authority will be severe.

“Hmmm. That’s strange; I believe I placed it in my pocket. Did I drop it? Hmm”

“hump, just admit you do not have it and I will give you some leeway on the beating hahahaha”

Ignoring Vincent’s voice Kin’s stopped looking and began to think. ‘Yesterday so I won’t lose it. Where did I put it?’.

Still thinking so hard while ignoring the surrounding’s, he’s recalling the events he did the day before.

*ding*

“hoooh I remember.” He pull out the chain necklace he is wearing and a ring can be seen at the end.

“That’s…”

At this moment Clarisse reacted when she saw the ring.

“Hmm. You recognize the ring?” Letica asked her best friend who keeps silence after reprimanding Vincent. She also noticed that Clarisse is somewhat unease about something and thinking about it deeply.

“Well, its better to see for yourself”

Kin remove the ring from the chain string and insert it on his right hand. All the guys were in their guard in case something amiss happens. Kin then closed his eyes and the ring began to have a faint glow.

Suddenly a letter appeared on Kin’s hand and everyone except Clarisse has a surprised expression on their faces.

“a … a storage RING!” Letica was the first to react. A storage ring is something that every Hunter dreams to have. It’s not really that rare, it’s just that one storage ring cost too much. Even the lowest grade that only has a two meter square space is about five hundred gold coins already. A single gold coin is enough for an ordinary family to last for a year if thriftily spent. Thus only those wealthy hunters, nobles, and merchants’ possess one.

“Here is my proof, please confirm”

Kin hand out the letter which was received by Clarisse. Clarisse examines the letter and when she saw the seal; her hand began to tremble and hastily offered the letter back.

“Umm. The Head masters office is on that building. Go upstairs and by then when you see it you will know it’s the room you’re looking for”

“ooh, thank you very much for the help” kin slightly bow and left. He does not want to stay any longer since the longer he stays the more annoying it gets.

The people he left stare at his back silently while thinking about what happened.

“Clarisse, what’s with the weird reaction when you see the letter?” Letica ask her out of curiosity since she never had a chance to see the letter properly.

While still looking at the silhouette Clarisse answered “it’s the seal on the letter”.

“What about the seal?”

“It’s a sword with two daggers crossed near the hilt”

“…”

Everyone is silent for a moment before the thought hits them

““”””EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH! ““”””
