Chapter 13 – Don’t even think about hurting him

The words that came out of her mouth stunned Xzavon, he never would have thought she would duel him after killing that guy. He can’t tell her that he wasn’t training for 3 months but just in the spirit realm because that would tell her that he had a spirit. She’ll probably ask him to show the spirit to prove it, but he can’t do that considering that he can’t summon Uberas.

If he fights her, he’ll barely escape with his life. If he doesn’t fight her, people will say that he is weak, scared, and a loser. That would make his plan to become famous take a blow, but that blow may save his life this time.

Silvia was getting impatient, “Well, do you accept or not? I’ll tell you if you don’t accept then you’ll end up like him. If you do i’ll leave you in pieces, just barely alive.”

No matter what choice he picks he’ll end up getting hurt, if only he could have some time. Yes, time is just what he needs to be able to duel her. If he had time, he could power himself up and put on a show. The thing was that he didn’t have a lot of time, even if he used <Power Boost> he wouldn’t be able to survive a duel with her.

Thinking up to that point he literally gave up thinking of what he should do. He might as well go with the flow and accept the challenge, worst thing that’ll happen is he ends up in the infirmary for a few months.

Xzavon nodded his head, “I accept.” This was his only option, he took a fighting pose to get ready for her attack. Surprisingly she didn’t even step towards him, she just walked away. He didn’t ask why, and he didn’t care at least she was leaving. ‘Maybe she was just toying with me about the duel’

What Xzavon didn’t know was that when you accept someone’s duel, you have to go through a process. That process determines if the duel is acceptable, if both parties agree then 80% of the time the staff agrees to it. If both parties don’t agree then they can still fight, but it will be unofficial and that usually ends up with someone seriously injured. The process usually takes a week to complete, and then it is announced to the students whose dueling.

“That kid is dead, he has to duel Silvia. The bright part of this is that we get to see her duel, hopefully he last 30 seconds.”

“I wouldn’t count on it, I bet you he’ll try to run away before the duel. If it was me that is what I would do.”

The news that Xzavon was going to duel Silvia spread like a wildfire, in 3 hours basically everyone knew it was going to happen. Most of them felt pity for him, others didn’t know what to make of the situation.

Xzavon just went to class like on the first day, he learned a few things regarding mana. Sadly he didn’t get to choose any skills in the library, and he never went back.

In his first class, when the teacher learned that he didn’t choose a class yet that’s the first thing he had him do. The teacher took Xzavon to the ‘class’ room which provided a list of classes he could become. Mages were divided into 2 different types, Arcane mage which uses the power of mana to attack their enemies. Wizards who used the elements to deal with their enemies. Both had their ups and downs, Arcane magic had more power than Wizards, but Wizards had more diversity to use their skills. He picked wizard, it was quite simple actually. He simply clicked wizard and a light surrounded him, next his class turned into wizard.

Able to perceive things that you cannot see, hear, smell, or touch. Your five sense don’t know anything, but the 6th sense is always aware.

 

This was a good class for him, it gave him the class of a wizard and arcane mage. This meant that he was able to use all the spells in both classes, if only he didn’t have that <Gods Betrayal> that only made him learn three attributes.

That means that he has to choose wisely of what spirit beast he has to have. The next two that he gets are going to play a big part in his life from now on. They not only need to favor his attributes, they need to be strong beast that are able to enhance his strength by leaps and bounds.

After class ended for the day, he was going back to his room. It has been a long day for him, he needs the break. Opening the door, he is greeted by his friends.

Jack was the first to greet him, “Hey man, long time no see. Been 3 months since you left us, and you didn’t even send us any word. All we know is that you were training, and the way you look now it seems like something has changed in you.”

Jack was right, something did change in Xzavon. With the knowledge of the past he was slowly changing, but he didn’t really realize it. Xzavon is doing some things that are relevant to the past without even noticing it himself.

Shina was the next to speak, “Forget that. I heard you have a duel with the vice president, how the hell did you tick her off. Man, I really wanted to see what you would be like in the future, but I guess we’ll need to get ready for your funeral.”

Jack chopped her head, “Shut up! Obviously he has a plan…you do have a plan right…?” The attention turned back to Xzavon, if he had a plan then they would be relieved. How would they know that he didn’t have a plan at all, not only that but he was reset back to level 1 and his stats gone.

Seeing as how silent he was, they took a guess and decided he didn’t have a plan. That means that he’s in big trouble, even if he somehow survives the match, he’ll be too injured to actually fight in the subjugation quest.

To take the attention off himself he looked at Eric with pleading eyes. Eric knew that Xzavon wanted him to help him take the attention off himself. Getting up he said, “Well since you’re back why not make the most of it. What’s your level now by the way, if it’s above 20 we can go to dead mans forest and hunt to level up.”

Dead mans forest was a forest that was a part of the academy. The academy breed monsters and released them into the forest so their students could hunt them to level up. It is called Dead Mans forest because a man once went into the forest and never came out. later it was found he turned into a zombie like monster, but that wasn’t the only thing that happened. Ever since then, more and more zombie like monsters appeared, surprisingly all of them were male and no female zombies. The school the barricaded the forest and killed everything inside, then they came up with the idea to breed monsters. The monsters would help their students learn real combat skills, and they can learn more about what they are up against.

Xzavon didn’t know what to say, he could tell them that he is level 8, but then he would have to tell them about him having a spirit. ‘Eh, they are trustworthy friends. Jim wouldn’t know I told them, if they don’t go blabbing their mouths off.’

“I’m level 8, but under certain circumstances i had to sacrifice my stats and level to gain knowledge and power.” Xzavon proceeded to tell them of his spirit and Uberas’ goal for him. At first they didn’t know what to make of it, but seeing as to how he seemed somewhat different they believed him.

Jack said, “So, what are you going to do? The monsters in the forest are all 25+, if you go in you’ll die for sure.”

Xzavon started thinking, his current goal is to get his levels back and increase his stats again. The only way to do that is to level, but since the monsters are all 25+ it’ll be pretty hard to kill them. Somehow he needs to raise his level first before going to the forest. Once he does that, he can level up easily.

Shina seen how he was deep in thought, but came up with her own idea, “Why not just get some EXP beads to level. Pretty sure a few hundred could get you to at least 15, 10 levels higher than you shouldnt matter much.”

Perfect, this was the perfect Idea to gain back his levels and stats. One level increases his stats by 5 and he gets 10 stat points per level. Currently he has 70 stat points, and if he gets some EXP beads then he can level up without harm. At level 15, he would have a total of 140 stat points, that wasn’t a lot but with the help of <Power Boost> it would be effective. Sadly he doesn’t have the money to buy the beads, and he can’t ask his parents for help.

“Eh, I’ll just hunt monsters with my current level. If i meditate from now till the morning I’ll have enough mana to beat them down.”

Seeing as to how he didn’t listen to Shina’s idea they didn’t ask why. If Xzavon asked his parents for help surely they’ll help him, then he’ll be able to increase his strength. It wasn’t that Xzavon wouldn’t ask his parents for help, it’s just that he couldn’t. They already said he would get no allowance, and if he came back crying to them about how it’s not fair then they’ll be furious with him.

What Xzavon didn’t know was that after his mom teleported him to school, Jim and her both took some people to go find and hunt down the Ice Phoenix. Even if he did go home, he wouldn’t be able to actually find them. It was truly as if he was alone at school with no help.

Strangely a week passed by fast, Xzavon meditated for three days straight. Increasing his mana pool by a lot, he then hunted a few monsters to increase his level to 15. With him having 140 stat points to put into one of his stats he put it all into Agility. As to why he did that, it was to increase his speed. If he wanted to be a mage then speed was something he really needed, because if his opponent closed in on him he would be a goner.

With his current strength it might not be enough to beat Siliva, but it’s good enough for him to survive. Thinking about it, he leveled up quite fast, a month of training with Jim got him to level 10, but training at the school helped him get to level 15 in a week. ‘Guess being in school has it’s perks after all.’

A few more hours and it would be his time to duel Silvia, he wasn’t that thrilled about dueling her. After he seen her kill that guy in front of him, he kept having this weird feeling that he would be next. It wasn’t wrong to say he was scared stiff at seeing the site of a dead body, but he didn’t want to do anything but live in that moment.

The first time you see a body the strong usually barely hold back, the weak are the first ones to run away and vomit. Something else that could happen is that you are so scared you just don’t have a reaction at that moment, and that is what Xzavon was like when Silvia killed that guy. He didn’t have a reaction, the dead guy next to him never got processed in his mind, the only thing that went through was he had to live.

Ever since he had his class change, Xzavon has been practicing with his arcane weapons. It was better for him to get use to this skill sooner than later. If he knew how to strengthen the weapon it would have more durability, and if he knew how sharp to make it then he could increase the attack. He also practiced changing the forms, from swords, axes, spears, shields and bows.

Since he couldn’t equip any staves, he needed something else to fight with. So far his favorite was the bow since he could create arcane arrows with void lightning effects on them. It was truly a ‘shocking’ experience for the monsters who had a taste of his experiments.

After a few hours of meditating, it was time to go to the dueling arena. His friends were walking with him telling him to hold out for at least 5 minutes. Even if he lost, he would get tons of face for surviving that long.

Once they arrived at the arena, the stadium was full of students. Practically no seats were left, you could see people standing over the railing or some floating in the air. It wasn’t wrong to say that when one of the student council members fought they really attracted a crowd. But who could blame them, who wouldn’t want to see someone famous fight. If you are able to study their moves maybe you could learn a thing or two, and if you happen to have a chance to get on their good side they might teach you a secret move.

When Xzavon parted with his friends they wished him good luck, and told him to do his best. The crowd didn’t show him any attention, mostly because no one believed that he would be able to  beat Silvia. If a 1st year student was able to overcome a 3rd year student then that news would hit the school, no country hard. They would be labeled as an absolute genius, and the king would probably bestow them a rank of nobility.

A teacher who was dressed in all black teleported into the middle of the arena. His enhanced his voice to say, “Today we have a special duel. Silvia rank 2nd takes on Xzavon who ranked 4th on his exam. I’m sure many of you are wondering why these two are dueling today, so we’ll have them answer.”

He gestured towards Xzavon to come towards him and speak. Xzavon slowly walked over, “Well…she said she always wanted to fight a Phenix….so she challenged me.”

What he said wasn’t a lie, but it wasn’t the full truth either. The audience didn’t pay it any mind, since they too wanted to fight people of different clans and test their own strength. You have to know that when you fight stronger people and survive, you become slightly stronger than before. Since most of the students who go to school aren’t from one of the 11 lords, they are always looking to fight people who bears the title of one of the 11 lords.

The teacher didn’t even ask Silvia why they were fighting, mostly because he was trying to show her face. It would be rude for him to ask her why, but since Xzavon is new and isn’t in the student council he can do whatever he wants to him. Stepping off the stage he announced the duel to begin.

Xzavon was going to use <Dash> to start the fight off, but since Silvia was stronger than him he opted not to. The best thing he could do was dodge and attack when he can. Sadly he had another drawback and that was he didn’t know what her class was. All he knew was that she used a gravitational spell to force her opponents down.

That wasn’t the case for her, she didn’t use any spell to make it feel like something was pushing them down. Her class wasn’t a mage but a warrior, the skill she used was her killing intent. Since her level is so much higher than Xzavon’s, it felt like he couldn’t move when her aura seeped out. This is why he thought it was a gravitational spell that was being used, but how could he know that gravity type of spells were rare. They are so rare that they are kept a secret, usually no one knows how to use them, but the people that do are strong. They can overwhelm their opponents just by changing the direction of gravity, forcing their opponents to be unstabilized. Pushing weight down on them, they move fast while their opponents move slow as a snail. Truly one of the deadliest types of spells ever found and created.

Since Xzavon didn’t move, Silvia was the one who darted at him. In less than a breath she was right in front of him, but suddenly disappeared. Xzavon didn’t know what happened, but he felt a shiver down his spine and he hurried to duck.

*Swish*

Her leg flashed right above his head, taking a few strands of hair with it. She was trying to take his head off, that strike caused the wind to be sliced. Seeing as to how he dodged she thought he had a good foundation, but she wouldn’t understand that it was by pure luck he dodged.

After Xzavon ducked, he rolled back and used <Arcane Creation> to create a white bow. This surprised everyone, no one, not even the teacher had seen this type of skill before.

They never seen it because it was exclusive to arcane spirit wizards. It is to say that hardly anyone could become this class, because no one had the requirements to unlock it. It wouldn’t be totally wrong to say Xzavon is the first to become this class in the world.

Creating an arrow that was black at the tip and dark blue on its shaft, he knocked it back and released it.

*Swish*

Insanely fast, is the only word you could use to describe the arrows speed. After he released it, it created a sonic boom, as if it teleported it was inches away from Silvia. Less than a second passed and she collided a weapon with the arrow.

*Boom!*

The crowd was shocked, never would they have thought that Xzavon would be this strong. Xzavon isn’t all that strong, it’s just that he caught Silvia by surprise with that attack. If she knew what it was she would not have tried to deflect it.

After the dust settled down, Silvia was still standing glaring at Xzavon. The weapon she tried to use to deflect the arrow was broken, it was still crumbling away in her hands as the side effects.

She never would have thought that this junior of hers would have such a dominating skill. A smirk appeared on her face, “You Phenixs really live up to your reputation. Too bad, you could have lived a little bit longer if you never got involved with that guy.”

She rushed towards Xzavon, bringing out a small green dagger and trying to slice at his neck. Before it had the chance to pierce him, a hand grabbed her wrist.

Turning her head to see who grabbed her, the person said, “Don’t even think of hurting him!”

Chapter 12 – Beauty wants to duel who?

Xzavon didn’t know who this girl was or what she had done, but he was attracted to her. Not because he wanted to help a maiden in distress, but because she was the like a beautiful jade that no one can buy. Snow white smooth skin, long white hair coming to her buttocks, blue eyes, two perfect looking peaks, long slim legs. What more can you say, if his mother caused a country to fight over her, then this girl would cause the world to crumble under her beauty. Perfection couldn’t even define her, no words could match her beauty, it was simply indescribable.

‘The pressure is strong, but this is an unexpected beauty. If I let this chance slip by, I might not have the chance to conquer her heart.’ Xzavon thought of helping her out, but seeing that the 20 students who surrounded her he couldn’t. He who was a level 1, along with the pressure of the gravity could hardly move. How would he be able to help this fair maiden, he gritted his teeth and left.

He didn’t leave to go away, after the pressure lessened, he ran towards the counter of the library. ‘Power rules, Saint Hail Academy must have a powerful person in charge of this library, or else people would go to any floor they want’ This was his goal, to find the librarian of this place, if he got to that person then maybe they could help the beauty.

Reaching the counter an old man with closed eyes who was seemingly sleeping appeared in his eyes. “Hey old man! Wake up and go to the 3rd floor something is happening!”

No reaction at all, the old man was really sleeping or just ignored Xzavon. This didn’t settle well with him at all, he climbed over the counter and hit the old man in the face. Or..he thought he did, the old man grabbed his fist and tossed Xzavon across the room.

The old man looked at Xzavon with a little killing intent, “Why would a mere child wake up I, John Doe.”

Xzavon got up and looked at the old man, “A girl is surrounded by 20 students on the 3rd floor, go help her.”

He glanced at the stairs to the 3rd floor, “What would I get in return? Money, I don’t need that. Face, I have enough of that. Go away, next time you might be missing an arm if you try to touch me again.”

Seeing that the old man wouldn’t help him, Xzavon was out of other options. His only choice was to go back to the 3rd floor and try to help, even if it was to gain her a split second to escape he was going to do that.

Surprisingly when he walked up the pressure was gone, but what was surrounding him were bodies of students. Their limbs were dislocated, faces unrecognizable and unconscious. ‘Who could do something like this’

Walking to where the girl was, he couldn’t find her at all. A student who was conscious looked at Xzavon, but all he could see was a blurry figure. He instantly cowered into a ball, “Stop! Don’t come any closer!”

This surprised Xzavon, he thought they all were unconscious, he never expected that one would still be able to bear the pain and not pass out. He asked the first question that came to mind, “Who did this?”

The cowered student realized that he wasn’t the girl who beat them all up. “Take me away from here. Hurry! Before she realizes that I am still alive.”

Xzavon repeated the last word he said, “Alive? You’re telling me that all those people are dead….FUCK!”

‘Why did I come back up here. If I knew that they were killed, I would have left before I came way over here. What if she comes back and kills me to keep me silent, or what if it wasn’t her but someone else.’ Xzavon was weighing the pros and cons of helping this guy out, he took a chance and said, “First tell me who did this. Then i’ll help you.”

The guy shaking said her name, “S-siliva..Silvia Terraz.”

Xzavon knew who she was, at least that was a start for him. He didn’t want to get caught up in the mess these students caused, so he left. The guy seeing that Xzavon was leaving called out to him, “Don’t you have any sympathy! How can you leave, don’t you know that if she finds out i’m alive she’ll come back to kill me. Not only will she kill me, i’ll tell her it was you who sent us to do this.”

Xzavon gasped, “Y-you wouldn’t. Who would believe you, besides you don’t know my name.”

He was right, the guy didn’t know Xzavons name, but he could always describe his appearance to her before he died. That alone was enough to make the girl come after him to keep everything silent. If he didn’t want that he had no choice but to help this guy out, but that would be even worse because that would be directly telling her that someone helped.

The guy laughed softly, “Yes. Yes. Come, no matter if you agree or not you are an accomplice. I’ll give you a reward, EXP beads. Instead of raising your level by killing monsters you can raise it by eating these. Although you don’t get much, it’s still able to raise your level by 1 or 2.” After saying that, he pulled out 5 small green beads.

“Inspect”

Small EXP Bead: Able to increase users level, effects differ depending on users level.

To Xzavon who was level 1, this was simply too good. This was a perfect way to earn some levels he lost, “Ok, i’ll help you. Give me the beads, that way I can increase our speed. The faster we leave, the better.”

He passed Xzavon the five beads, hoping that he wouldn’t just eat them and leave him here. Even if he did, he still knew his appearance and could use that to trap him.

Popping the beads in his mouth, it melted instantly. It felt like his body was having this surge of energy, and he could do anything in that moment.

Level up! (x7)

The effect of these beads were way too good, it even increased his level by 7. Making him level making him level 8 now, if he wanted to prepare in 3 months he needed more of these beads. Sadly he didn’t know how to get them, nor how much they cost.

If he knew that these beads cost 50 gold per bead, he would go crazy. That was more money that he had, and he wouldn’t even get an allowance any more, meaning if he wanted to level the only way was to kill monsters.

He gained stat points, but now was not the time to use them. He grabbed the guy and tossed him over his shoulder and ran down to the 2nd floor. This was Xzavon’s first day, and he already made some trouble. He needed to drop this guy off fast, “Ok, tell me where to take you.”

“Infimary. I can get healed and escape that crazy bitch.”

Xzavon didn’t know the way, this was his first day after all. He asked, “Which way do we go?”

The guy jaws dropped, “The hell! How don’t you know where it is, we’ve been in school for 3 months and you don’t know. Why did god give me such a stupid savior.”

Xzavons eyes twitched, this guy called him stupid. He was pissed off at this, but he wouldn’t just drop the guy no matter how bad he wanted to. He bitterly smiled, “First day, been missing for 3 months.”

The guys mouth opened, but he didn’t say anything. He connected the dots, ‘The Phenix kid has been missing for 3 months. This guy has also been gone for 3 months, and he even has some of the features that people were talking about. God didn’t betray me, he gave me a second chance.’ A tear came out of the guys eye, but he was in too much pain to wipe it away.

A voice called out, “HEY! Where do you think you are going? I leave for 10 minutes and come back to see that you are gone. Do you think that this is going to end, you!”

Xzavon glanced over his shoulder and seen the beauty. He felt a cold chill go down his spine, this is not what he thought would happen. He didn’t take into account that the girl knew the guy was alive, and he knew that she was strong.

The guy glanced at Xzavon, “Hurry and run faster! If she catches us we are DEAD! Wait, never mind that, hurry and tell her who you are. With your families backing, she won’t touch you. Since I am with you, that means she can’t touch me either.”

A blur passed him, and in front was the beauty, he gaze was cold. Her blue eyes seemed as if they could pierce through Xzavons heart if he wasn’t careful. Seeing her up close was different from seeing her afar, the pressence she gave was like a princess of the king.

The gravitatonal pressure once again appeared, and Xzavon felt like his heart sunk. He really was in a bad spot, not only did he get caught up in this mess because he tried to save her. He now tried to save the guy who she is trying to kill, this really isn’t looking that good for him.

Her pressure only increased as she glared at Xzavon and the guy. Looking Xzavon in the eye she said, “Who are you? Why are you helping someone like him.”

Xzavon was going to say who he was, but before he said anything the guy said it for him. “This guy, I wouldn’t touch him if I were you. He is the son of Jim Phenix, so if you touch him then that’s the end of you and your family.”

She looked at Xzavon and said, “Is that true? You’re that guy who ranked 4th this year.”

He didn’t have anything to say, he just nodded his head. It’s not like he didn’t want to say anything to her, it’s just that he found that under her gaze it was hard to. Breathing deeply he felt as if the pressure surrounding him lessened.

She pointed her figure at the guy, “Drop him and you may go. But don’t worry, i’ll come for you later. If I kill you at the end of the year, during the tournament not even your clan can say anything. If I were you, I would dig a hole and hide in it. Such a pity you have to die by my hands, and you did it all for the sake of him.”

Gulping Xzavon set the guy down, he didn’t know what to say or do. Obviously he was weaker than her, he lost his stats and was basically useless. The guy was even worse off, he felt pressure coming towards him, “Wait! Its his fault. He’s the one who ordered us to attack you, because he wanted the position of Vice-President.”

‘This damn guy, I should never went in that room’ The guy had no shame, he put the blame on Xzavon to cover his own tracks. He did say he would do it if Xzavon left him there, but now she already caught up to them so this was his only card to play. If he goes down, then so does Xzavon.

“He wouldn’t dare take I, Silvia Terraz’s position as vice-president of the student council. You, have committed a grave sin my friend, lying in front of my face and pinning the blame on someone else. Not only will you die, but i’ll send your corpse back to your family in pieces. Everyone knows that the Phenix kid has been training for 3 months, and you try to tell me that he put you guys up to it. You must think i’m stupid, i’ll show you how stupid someone can be.”

Saying all that, she made a quick movement that was faster than Xzavon could see. No sound was heard, the top part of the guys head came off and his brain was cut in half. He died, no doubt about it, but to kill him in plain site was something else.

It really was true what Jim said, that even the teachers don’t mess with the student council. They are the pillars that hold the school together, have absolute authority and no one messes with them. Knowing that you can kill someone and not bat an eye at the scene was something else, strength really is all that matters in this world. Being weak means that you are prey for other, being weak means that you can die whenever someone sees fit. Being strong is all that matters, because once you are strong, no one would try to get in your way.

After killing the guy, she turned around and started to leave. After a few steps away, she told Xzavon, “So you’re a Phenix huh. I always wanted to duel someone from there. I, Silvia challenge you to an official duel, lets see how powerful you are.”

Chapter 11 – Unexpected arrival of a beauty

Leaving the building, James lead Xzavon on a 30 minute walk towards the library. Xzavon noticed that there were tons of students walking around, some were even glancing at him. They weren’t looking at him because he ranked 4th in the entrance exam, they were looking at him because he was with the Headmaster. Seeing this guy so close to the Headmaster meant that he was either in some sort of trouble, or the Headmaster adored him a little.

The library was huge, at least 10 floors high, and the outside was pure white. The windows were diamond-shaped, and if you looked out of one you could really feel the essence of the academy. Seeing that Xzavon was looking around James look at him and chuckled a little. This is probably the first time that he has seen something this big, but he wondered why his parents never told him about this.

“James passed Xzavon a black card, “Here, infuse some of you mana into it and it’ll give you access to the first 5 floors.”

Xzavon took the card and infused it with mana, “Why is it black?”

James took out 4 different color cards, a white one, black one, red one, and blue. “You get these cards according to your ranking. White cards have access to the first 2 floors, black to the first 5, and red to the first 8. Only the student council are allowed to access the 9 and 10th floor, each of them have a blue card. The floors all hold different skill books, of all different quality, but the higher the floor the more powerful the skills. Not just anyone can learn them, only the chosen few, so if you want them I suggest you try to enter the top 10.”

Nodding his head Xzavon went to the 2nd floor considering the first floor was basically a lounge area. He wanted to get in the top 10, but he had a feeling it was going to be harder than he originally thought.

The first floor didn’t have a lot of people on it, those people were either talking or reading skill books. The 2nd floor, now this was a lot of people. Boys and girls of all ages were walking and looking through the shelves for books, the first year students all knew of him. The girls were talking about him as they passed, even a few second year students heard that Jim’s son was attending. They just didn’t know how he looked, but upon seeing him they didn’t think he was much.

A girl pointed at Xzavon and turned to a girl next to her, “Look, it’s Xzavon. He placed 4th this year, but he was in a stalemate with Gunner. Not to mention that he is apart of Phenix, do you think I would have a chance?”

The girl shook her head, “Why would you have a chance with someone of his status. If anything I am more qualified.”

“Bitch! Who are you to say you are more qualified than me. Watch, i’ll have him fawning over me in a heartbeat.” After saying that she walked towards Xzavon, but he knew what she wanted.

She tapped on his shoulder, “Hey cutie. How about you teach me a few things, a private lesson with you and i’m sure that i’ll be able to reach the top of our year.”

Xzavon curved his lips, “Oh really? I could teach you a thing or two if you tell me where lightning books are.”

She grabbed his arm and pressed it against her chest, pointing towards the stairs, “Over there, how about we go to the next floor for some quality ‘studying’ i’m sure you could use it.”

‘Eh, pros, she doesn’t look that bad, and her chest….its pretty big. Cons…mom would beat the crap out of me if dad doesn’t get to me first.’ Xzvaon smiled, “Sure, i’ll take you up on that offer.”

The girl glanced back at the other girl who was totally surprised, she never thought that Xzavon would go for a girl like her. She guessed that as long as a girl has a big chest and nice face he would take. So why couldn’t she go with them, she wanted to ‘study’ him too.

She puffed out her chest and walked towards Xzavon and the other girl, “Hey, how about we have a nice ‘study’ party. Three is always better than two, aren’t I right?”

Xzavon nodded his head, it seems to him like strength really is respected. One must be strong to have a girl care for them, if you aren’t strong then they won’t even give you a 2nd glance. He ranked high in the exam, so naturally the ladies will be all over him hoping to become his lover. This is his chance to do the things between male and female, but if he does this there is no going back, he would really be punished by his parents. He is only going to take them to the 3rd floor, but he will disappear before they know it, hopefully he gets away.

Putting his plan into action, he enters the 3rd floor but when he goes there it feels like something is pushing down on him.

“Ah!” Both of the girls dropped to the ground, they were unable to get up. The pressure was outstanding, Xzavon was using all his strength to stand. He was use to the weights Jim gave him, so this wasn’t a lot move than those. Sadly he can’t move a lot, or else he’ll end up like the girls and face plant on the ground.

Uberas can see what Xzavon see’s so he already knew what was going on. Calling out to Xzavon, “Hey boy, I would watch out if I were you. The gravity here is beyond that of normal, it seems someoone used a powerful gravitational spell. Best go back down, you’re too weak to do anything right now.”

Xzavon nodded his head, just as he was about to leave and go back down something flew past him.

*Boom!*

The wall was cracked and dented in, blood was coming down the wall and a figure slid down. Xzavon snapped his neck in the direction that the person flew from, what he seen was a lone female surrounded by 20 students.

Chapter 10 – My Attribute is Unexpectedly?

Leaving the portal, Xzavon noticed that he wasn’t at the entrance to the school, he was in a room instead. The room wasn’t that big, but it was a luxurious room that many people hoped to have in their lifetime. Golden jewelery, beautiful wooded shelves with mysterious books, a black chrome desk, windows the sparkle. If you had to even think of any words to describe it, it would be amazing, one of a kind.

*Squeak*

The golden chair from behind the desk turned around, and in the chair was the teacher who greeted his parents. He wasn’t that good-looking, the words to describe him would be normal, just normal.

Curving his lips upwards he looked at Xzavon, “Hohoho, didn’t expect you to teleport in here. Let me introduce my self, I am, James von Weser. Head of Saint Hail Academy, and a powerful mage on top of it.”

James stood up from his seat and walked towards Xzavon, “And you my child are Raven Phenix, of course you know I already know that. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t want you here, it’s just that I’ve been told by a certain someone to not make it easy for you.”

Xzavon knew that it had to be Jim who told him to give him a hard time at school. Now he had another thing to complain to Jim about when he gets a break and is able to go home. “Well then Jam-” Before Xzaovn had a chance to finish James waved his hand,and it told him not to say another word.

Glancing towards him, “First thing first, I am not James but Headmaster. Second thing, at this school power rules and family backing is way down the list. Third thing, I am not going to be hard on you because of what that person said. I’m going to because I want you to lose at the end of the year, then my daughter will finally have a husband.”

Xzavon knew if he lost he had to marry this guys daughter, but he didn’t know how she looked. If she looked anything like him, she would be ok to take as his wife. Nodding his head, “As long as she is big enough, i’ll take her.”

James face turned red, “What! Don’t you have any shame boy, you can’t say things like that.”

Xzavon simply tilted his head, “Why not J-Headmaster?”

Calming himself down, James thought that Jim just didn’t teach his son about manner at all. Not only would he get a strong son-in-law, but he was stupid on certain things. “Eh, there are certain conditions here on the Bloodbore continent that doesn’t let men talk sexually or act towards females. Although it’s ok to touch and feel them, that’s only if you are married, dueling them, or they allow it. If you touch them without doing any of those things, it could be considered as tainting them, which isn’t allowed. Also using words to describe certain things, could also be considering as tainting them or harassing. We try to keep up a dignified image of our women, and all of them are praise worthy.”

Of course James lied, there was no rules like this, but he figured Xzavon would believe him since he has never been here before. Xzavon nodded his head, James was ecstatic about this, now he doesn’t have to worry about Xzavon coming into contact with other girls while he is at school. This means phase one of his plan is complete, now all he needs to do is create chances for his daughter to meet and greet him.

James led Xzavon out the door and down the hall, “So tell me, what do you want to become in this school? We have all kinds of classes related to close combat, long-range, even some spirit related classes if you have some of that.”

Without hesitation Xzavon chose mage, because that has been his goal since the beginning and nothing would change that. This is going to be his first step to becoming the number one mage, and have his name spread out.

James had a satisfied look on his face, a mage was the only way to go. They excel in long distance combat, but are able to deal massive damage and protect their teammates with buffs that enhance their stats. James took Xzavon towards a black room, literally a room that was pitch black inside.

Xzavon didn’t know what was happening, James taking him to a dark room with no light. Could he be trying to kidnap Xzavon, so he looked at him and said, “Whats this place?”

James snapped his fingers and a white orb floated out of the ground. “Attribute room, it is to test a persons attribute so they know what spells to train in. For example a person who has a fire attribute can’t learn any other spells but fire related ones. The more attributes one have gives them access to more abilities, normally people have 2 or 3 at most.

Xzavon didn’t need this, he already knew that his attribute would be lightning since the gods didn’t give him access to any other. Xzavon didn’t worry too much, he place his hand on the stone and infused it with some mana. Surprisingly the stone was black then went to blue, next it turned white again. Xzavon didn’t know what was going on, unexpectedly his attribute was different from what he thought it would be.

James eyes sparkled with admiration, the white color meant light magic, which is related to healing and enhancements. The Black, it was the lost magic pertaining towards void magic, but that was a mystery all they knew was that it was black. Lastly the blue represented water or ice magic, that’s mostly used for attacking and defense. “I’m going to expect great things from you, unexpectedly you have 3 attributes, Light, Void, and Water/Ice. If we train you well enough, no one would be able to top us anymore.”

Xzavon didn’t expect that, there was no lightning colored glow on the orb. This doesn’t make any sense, his attribute is clearly Lightning, and yet the stone showed him 3 different ones. Xzavaon needed answers and who better to give it than Uberas. “Hey Uberas! I am clearly a lightning attributed mage, so why didn’t it show up, and why are there other attributes?”

“Huh?…Oh don’t worry about it, I wouldn’t be a god if my lightning was normal right? It’s called Void Lightning, cost me a lot to learn this attribute and now you have it. Black and blue represent the Void Lightning attribute, and the while means neutral. Don’t know why this guy said it meant light magic, if it was light it would have turned golden. Humans are always stupid.”

James threw the orb and it went back into the ground, he turned around and left the room with Xzavon. “Lets go get you a few skill books, that way you can learn a few things before you settle into class. Also when the semi-annual subjugation quest is here, you’ll need a team of 6 to participate, so I suggest you pick teammates wisely. You have 3 months time, so I suggest you move fast.”

This was a huge set back for him, not only did he miss 3 months of school, he even lost his level. He already knew that he needed to train hard if he wanted his team to place high, and he already know what his team is going to be.

Chapter 9 – A New Rival are you worth my trouble

Xzavon woke up the next day refreshed, not only did he eat good, considering he hasn’t ate anything in 3 whole months. He also felt like he had a new body, but whenever he looked at himself he was the same, nothing was different. It wasn’t just him, other people in the clan also turned to look at him twice, even the people who never seen him before.

Today is a good day, it’s the day he officially starts schools, even though it’s been going on for 3 whole months already. His parents told the teachers that he was doing special training, and considering his family’s power and prestige, the school didn’t look into it much.

Jim was sitting at the table with a slight smile on his face, he was happy because his son woke up from the spirit realm. Also because his son seems a bit different from before, but he really wants to know what his son’s spirit beast is. “Oi, boy happy to go to school today? Don’t worry, you haven’t missed much considering what you’ve gotten in return. Come show me your spirit beast, and see if its worthy enough for our clan.”

Xzavon felt proud of himself, his day didn’t have an arrogant tone like he usually does when he talks to him. Not to mention that he has a divine spirit beast who use to be a god, ‘time to make this old guy pay for the troubles he put me through.’ Xzavon started grinning at Jim weirdly, “You got it old man, but don’t be too surprised when you see him or…it.”

Xzavon pointed towards the empty space in the room and shouted, “Summon Spirit!” Jim and him both stared at the empty space, but nothing happened, not even after 10 minutes. Jim glared at Xzavon with disappointment, “Stupid! I’m going to lose so much face because of you, lucky not that many people know you hold spirit power.” Sighing Jim continued, “I guess I shouldn’t hold expectations towards you anymore, you’re just a stupid brat afterall. Has god forsaken me, and given me a terrible son.”

Xzavon felt disappointed, he was use to Jim talking bad about him, so that didn’t really disappoint him much. What really disappointed him was the fact that Uberas never came out, a divine spirit beast that contracted him didn’t answer his call.

A voice was heard in Xzavon’s head while he was wondering why Uberas didn’t appear, “Boy, no wonder your father calls you stupid. I am a god, not a spirit beast. Although I am in your spirit world and this world claims me to be a spirit beast, I am not.”

Xzavon was shocked, this meant that no matter what he did, he could never summon Uberas into this world. “What do you mean, I should be able to summon you. Damn gods just don’t want me to summon someone as powerful as you.”

Jim looked at his son sideways, “Boy, who are you talking to?”

“He can’t hear me, and to stop yourself from looking stupid in front of people you should talk to me mentally from now on.”

Xzavon shook his head and started walking towards the door, “Nobody dad, thought I heard something.”

Opening the door he was bumped into a something so soft, it made his bed feel like a rock. He glanced up and noticed the giant pair of twin peaks staring him right in the face, the only word to describe them are gigantic. Even bigger than watermelons, he didn’t know how to describe how big they were, but he certainly enjoyed bumping into them.

Seeing the child bump into her, she looked away face blushed red. Softly she said, “Umm, can you please stop staring, i-it’s embarrassing.”

Xzavon blushed, he didn’t think she would know he was looking at her chest. But how couldn’t see know what he was looking at, his height was perfectly the right size to stare directly at her chest. When he stepped away he finally noticed her facial features, snow white skin, curly orange hair stopping at her shoulders, blue eyes, and small pink lips. If he hadn’t seen some beautiful women already he would have certainly fallen for her, even if she looked to be around 30 years old.

Jim seen her appear and happily said, “Marry you came. Don’t mind that stupid son of mines, come Victoria should be back in a minute to take that child back to school.”

A surprised look appeared on her face, she never thought she would bump into the headmaster’s son, “Sorry, I didn’t know you were his son.”

Jim glared at Xzavon like he did something wrong, then looked back at Mary, “Don’t bother Marry, he should have minded those hu-I mean the doorway. Besides, you’re going to be his aunt in a few weeks anyways, so you’re already like family.”

Xzavon took one last glance at that huge chest before finally stepping foot outside. Outside were tons of houses right by each other, some bigger than others. Tons of people could be seen training, talking, or even walking down the streets. Everything was surrounded by a forest, it was like they were hidden away from the public to see.

Taking a stroll around the place which was no bigger than the first town he appeared in, Xzavon stumbled upon a weapons shop. Noticing the swords, bows, staffs, gauntlets, books, hammers and other weapons Xzavons eyes sparkled, this is just what he needed. He can use magic without a staff, but with a staff he would really be able to become a powerhouse like no other. Looking at the few staffs which were shown, they each had something different about them, but one thing the same, which was they each were top of the line. Xzavon grabbed a light blue staff, instantly he felt power surge through him, it felt as if he could punch through a boulder.

He really liked this staff, he walked it up to the counter and rang the bell so the clerk could appear. “Yes, who is it?” A beautiful voice sounded, then a young looking girl who appeared no more than 16 came from behind the door. She had lush green hair, azure eyes, a well sized chest and a nice face, all around she wouldn’t lose to the other females he has seen so far.

Showing her the staff in his hand, “How much is this?”

She showed a light smile which instantly made his heart skip a beat, she wasn’t like the other females he has seen so far. Her smile made it seem like nothing else was important in that moment, it felt as if he would jump across a sea filled with acid just to save her. That is how her smile made him feel in that moment, she was like a goddess who entered his world. “That’s a fairly good staff you picked up kid, it increases magic power by 150%, also increases movement speed by 50%. Since you’re so cute, i’ll make it 50 white coins, seems like a good deal.”

50 white coins, Xzavon didn’t have that kind of money. He came to this world broke, his mom paid for his clothes, he never got a weapon, nor did they give him anything. If it wasn’t for the clothes his mom brought him, he would truly look like a beggar, or an ophan. He lightly smiled and said, “Sorry, I don’t have that kind of money. I’ll just ask Jim to pay for it later, how does that sound?”

She was slightly startled and angry at the same time, startled by the fact that this child knows child and that he doesn’t even have 50 white coins. Angry by the fact that he wanted to leave with the staff and claim to have someone else pay for it later. She snacthed the staff from his hands and said, “No thank you. Come back when you have some money little bro, maybe the staff will still be here then.”

Xzavon was upset, he couldn’t get the staff he wanted and he couldn’t even use Jim’s name to get it from her. He even said he’ll have Jim pay her back for it, but she still wouldn’t give it to him. “Come on, i’m good for my word. To be honest if you were a guy I would have just taken it from you, but seeing as to how cute you are I have no choice but to change my mind. If you give me the staff, Jim will pay you back trust me, the old man may have his ways but he always pays what he owes.”

Seeing how stubborn Xzavon was, she wanted to shout at him and tell him to leave, but she couldn’t do that not after he called her cute. “Little bro, you can’t use uncle Jim’s name out of the blue. I don’t know how you know him but he can’t solve all of your problems.”

‘She took the bait’ Xzavon was happy, she fell for his little trap, “Ah, you mustn’t mistake me for those other people who know of him. I am Xzavon, or otherwise known as Raven Phenix, Jim’s only child. Surely you must believe me now right cutie?”

She gasped, never would she have thought that this boy would be related to Jim. Thinking about it over for a few seconds, she couldn’t believe what he said, “Really Jim’s only child huh. Now that I think about it you look kind of strong, how about we have a duel and if you win i’ll give you the staff for free instead.”

Xzavon really didn’t want to fight this girl, not because he was weak but because she looked weak. But he learned never to underestimate his opponent after his duel with Gunner. Although Gunner looked kind of nerdy, he wasn’t someone who would be easily bullied and he proved that.

“Inspect.”

 

Name:	Rita Day
Alignment:	Good
Class:	Martial Artist
Title:	None
Level:	20

 

Xzavon had nothing but pride on his face, she’s only level 20 he can beat her easy, “Alright, lets duel then. But if I win not only do I get the staff, how about a kiss too?”

Seeing that he said it with pride, Rita thought he might have something to back it up. She hasn’t had a good fight for a while, nothing like beating up kids. “Alright, and what if you lose, what will I get?”

Xzavon lightly laughed, “Me, lose. If I, Xzavon happen to lose I will ask Jim to give you 500 white coins. I will call you boss, and you can attend Saint Hail Academy with me, how does that sound?”

This offer was too good to be true, but even if it was a lie she couldn’t pass up the chance to go to one of the top schools so Rita agreed. Even if he didn’t have the money or went to that school, having someone call her boss will feel good.

Xzavon followed Rita towards one of the training fields, there wasn’t a lot of people around, and the ones that were, were mostly in their 20s. They seen Rita, and most of them stepped off the field, they knew she found another prey to play around with. They wondered what the poor soul did to piss her off, but they had no intention of helping him out.

“Poor guy, I hope he survives Rita’s fury.”

A guy slapped him on the back jokingly, “Don’t worry, the worst that can happen is he’ll be recovering for 3 months right. Let’s just sit back and watch the show.”

Everyone else nodded in agreement, and left to the outskirts of the training field. Seeing that everyone made way for them, Xzavon felt someone was off. It’s not like his name was widely known as Jim’s son, so that would only mean that these people respected Rita. He felt his blood boiling, a new rival has appeared in front of him, if he can win that would mean he has stepped into a new boundary.

Rita felt kind of ashamed that she was going to fight this kid, so she said, “Do you really want to continue? I mean, it’s not like you can’t save 50 white coins and buy the staff later.”

Smirking Xzavon replied, “Don’t worry, at worst I lose. Doubt it, but that’s the worst thing that can happen.”

They distanced themselves to around 30m, and glanced at each other waiting for one to make the first move. Xzavon didn’t want to give her any openings to start her attack, he knew she was higher level by 10 and if she attacked first then he would get caught up in her pace. Starting off with a <Dash> he appeared before her, but he felt like his body was drained of all his strength. Before he could even throw a punch, or even a kick his body went flying across the field. Coughing up a mouth full of blood, he was surprised, not at the fact that he went across the field but because he couldn’t even land one blow.

Rita scratched her head and said, “Let’s stop here. You didn’t even have a chance to attack me, and when I hit you I only used 20% of my power. If we continue, I don’t think you would see tomorrow.”

The words hit him hard, he couldn’t accept it, “No! I was just testing you, this time for real.” He staggered up, but his legs felt weak as if they were about to give out. He wondered why he felt so weak, did it have something to do with him trying to summon Uberas before? No, that couldn’t be the case, maybe it was due to the fact that he hasn’t really moved his body in 3 months.

Xzavon used <Dash> again, but this time he didn’t even go 5m before he was out of breath. “What the hell is going on!”

Rita walked up to him and patted his head, “Listen little bro, don’t worry about the 500 white or the school, just call me boss from now on.”

Xzavon turned around and grabbed Rita’s arm, “Wait, i’m stronger than this. It must be because I haven’t really used any mana in 3 months. Once I get the feeling back, it’ll be better the next time.”

Rita blushed because no one really touched her, well no one of the opposite sex. “Don’t worry little bro, maybe when you reach level 20 or higher we can duel again. But for now, try to reach level 2 and upgrade your stats.”

‘Level 2…i’m level 10 what the hell is she talking about!’ Xzavon then checked his stats, “Check Info.”

Xzavon was upset, really upset, so upset he yelled at no one, “What the hell! Why am I level 1 again. What is with these stats, all my hard work is gone.”

“Don’t worry, everyone starts out like that. Train hard, maybe one day you’ll be as strong as big sis.”

The people who stepped away started to return along with someone’s voice, “Rita! What the hell is this, you actually got us worked up over nothing. Bringing a brat like him here, making it seem like we would have a good show to watch.”

Rita looked at the guy who said it, “Mark, I thought I smelt you. No wonder I got the feeling someone was staring at my tits and ass the whole time.”

“Haha, it could have been some other guy who was looking, doesn’t mean it had to be me. Besides, was this guy even worth your trouble?”

Xzavon left the field to return home, he really wanted to know why was his stats so messed up. “Uberas, why didn’t you tell me I had to sacrifice my stats in order to get some skills I can’t even use.”

“With great power, comes great sacrifice. This is nothing, you can easily get them back, although it will be harder now, but never the less you will get them back. Although if you are getting upset at this I fear what will happen when you lose something greater in the future. Sacrifice is something that gives you power above anything else, but in return you must give something that is tens or hundreds times more in return. In the case of awakening the first step, the step of knowledge you have given up all your stats.”

Xzavon sighed, “If it’s just losing stats and levels that’s fine, just means i’ll have to train harder than everyone else.”

When he reached the house, Jim and Victoria both were outside cross armed. The looks on their faces surely wasn’t lovely, especially his mother’s. Xzavon knew something was wrong, but he couldn’t figure out what he did wrong. Thinking about what happened since he woke up, he couldn’t figure out one thing, the only thing he did was bump into his big chested aunt.

Victoria glared at him, you could see the anger in her eyes, “Raven! How could you bet on a fight with a girl using our money, not only that you even said you’ll have her attend school. You don’t understand the trouble you have caused us, you can’t use other people’s means and power for your own gain.”

It all came back to him, but he never thought they would find out about it, besides Rita said it was ok and he didn’t need to pay her nor go to school. The only thing she wanted was for him to call her boss, but how could he know that Jim has eyes and ears all around the clan. To gain information on his own son, you can call it child’s play.

Xzavon knew he was in trouble for doing something like this, but what can he do it’s already too late. With the knowledge of the past Xzavon thought of a way to escape his parents anger, “About that, i-i’m sorry. I really didn’t think I would lose, and I really wanted that staff but couldn’t think of anything else. For my selfish actions I have caused shame to our family, to you guys.”

Victoria was the first to take the bait, her eyes brightened up thinking that her son is maturing fast. How would she know that he’s just using his knowledge of how other kids his age got away with things back on Earth.

Jim calmed down a little, but it wasn’t a lot, to really settle his anger he chopped Xzavon in the head. “Boy you have manned up a little, next time you use us for your own gains i’ll chop something off for real. Giving her 500 white is a little much, you must not understand the currency here, but her going to school is fine. Since you lost the bet, you must be a man and keep true to your words, don’t worry the 500 white are going to come out of your allowance. We’ll the money you were going to get, now its gone who knows that you’re going to do for food at school.”

‘Damnit, this guy never gives. If his anger didn’t settle down who knows what I would go to school looking like.’ Xzavon nodded his head in agreement, the only reason being is that he couldn’t do anything about it.

Victoria opened up a portal and looked at Xzavon, “Come, you’ve already missed 3 months worth of education. We can’t have you waste any more time, don’t worry about Rita she’ll be in the same year as you, but she will come in 1 week.”

Xzavon nodded his head, and leapt into the portal, he was happy because today was going to be his first day on his own.

Chapter 8 – Blood of the Phenix and Spirit Beast

After the tournament ended to decide this years number 1 student it went to Gunner, although quite a few students felt like he didn’t deserve it since he never truly won over Xzavon. There was going to be a duel between Holly and Xzavon to determine who would be in third place, and a lot of people wanted to see it but Xzavon didn’t care and just gave it up to her, which made a lot or ruckus as people were saying he was scared of her or that he didn’t want to lose face.

What Xzavon really wanted was to go check on his friends and see how they were doing, he has a spot in the top 5 so at least he can make a team now and he already has the members in mind. Not to mention they have around half a year to get even stronger, and with the resources they will receive it’ll be a big help to their future.

A beautiful jade like figure approached from a distance, absolutely breath-taking, not only did the male students take a chance to check this beauty out, even the teachers and females looked at her. She could truly make a country or even a kingdom fight over her, and as she approached she got closer to Xzavon.

“Aw, honey I can’t believe you gave up against that child, if it was your father in your  shoes he would have beat him orange, white, yellow and pink.” That’s right this beauty was none other than Xzacons mother, Victoria. Upon hearing her say honey towards Xzavon it was like the whole stadium blew up in killing intent focused solely on one person, ‘how did he get someone like her’. Blushing slightly and scratching his head Xzavon thought he if should tease everyone watching but quickly gave up that thought, “nah mom, it’s not worth it.” ‘Mom? This young-looking lady is his mother, how old is she exactly’ is what everyone was thinking.

Pouting his mother looked at him and said, “Why not, if you would have gotten first place every girl he would be begging to sleep with you. What man doesn’t want that, not to mention you’ll get the title of strongest, isn’t that what you wanted honey?” Although Xzavon did want the title of the strongest mage, he didn’t just want it for school he wanted to be the strongest in the world. That kind of dream is something worth living, not something as trying to be number 1 in school because school never last forever.

A voice that was coming from behind the beauty was heard, “Haha, this boy actually put shame to our good name. I guess you didn’t have enough training in the forest did you boy.”

This time everyone looked at him, and then it happened, some people fainted. They didn’t faint because of fear, nor was the man ugly, it was simply because of how famous he was. You must know to be famous enough to have your name spread across the world, and then step into a public place when people gaze upon you they can’t take the excitement in their hearts. When they can’t take it, they faint and that’s exactly what happened when they noticed who this figure was.

“Oh…m-my GOD! Isn’t that Jim, Jim Phenix is standing right here.” A female voice sounded. Of course everyone knew this was him, but they just didn’t know what to say, what could they say in the sight of a big shot like Jim.

“I-i-impossible, why would he appear here at this school. If I’m not mistaken he shouldn’t even be here, last I heard someone else was in charge of the clan. I thought he was dead.”

“You’re an idiot, how can he die, didn’t you heat the tales this guys immortal. Immortal I tell you, not even a dragon or even 10 can kill him. He’s what every man dreams of becoming”

Seeing that his father was so famous Xzavon didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, he already seen his worth back at the last town they were in. But if these people knee how he actually was, they would probably call him a liar or even try to kill him for not bowing down in respect.

Finally one of the teachers in charge came forth, it was the same man who wanted to know who Xzsvons identity was. Orange hair reaching his shoulders, medium-sized build, dressed in a black and red robe. The man bowed to Jim before speaking,  “Sir, if I would have know you were coming today I would have made accommodations. But if I may as what brings you yo a place like this, if you wanted yo recruit someone to your clan we will give you are 10 best no 100 best students to choose from.”

Slapping the mans shoulder Jim slightly laughed, “haha, I didn’t come here for that, I just came to see my boy win number 1 too bad he disappointed Mr though.”

Looking at her husband Victoria agreed, “Dear I would have to agree with you on this one, but you can’t forget its only been a month. Even if we could have gotten 1st place what can we expect of our son, we might have expected too much.”

Everyone turned their attention towards Victoria ‘Did I just hear this right, she said dear…right? I didn’t have crickets in my ears or heat the devils cry right..? If I didn’t that would mean she’s…she’s…!’ The Man once again bowed, “Mrs. I didn’t know it was you at all, you’re truly as the rumors say simply beautiful, no absolutely gorgeous.”

“Jim and Victoria, the two most powerful pair of adventures and couple, not to mention the leaders of the Blood of the Phenix sect. He is your son, no wonder he is so outstanding, it’s truly a pity he didn’t reach number one, but since you are his parents I’m sure he’ll do outstanding things.”

Looking at his son receiving such praise man Jim proud, but it wasn’t enough since he didn’t win first, he didn’t even win second or third but fourth. This was simply disgraceful to his name, “Don’t worry since he didn’t receive first this time around I guarantee by the end of the year when they duel again he’ll be the tip student. If he doesn’t then I’ll let your daughter have him, how does that sound?”

One must know that if there can be extremely beautiful girls there can also be extremely ugly ones too. No one wanted to marry his daughter, she was already 35 but hearing what Jim said he was truly happy. If his daughter could marry Xzavon even in name, their wealth and fame would rise by leaps and bounds. If she bore a child of Xzavons that would even be better, he was truly astounded. Showing a bright smile, “I will hold you to that, and it just so happens that this year is special. Not only will they fight again at the end of the year, but the whole school will fight for the top 10 spots. Then those top 10 will fight at the kingdoms tournament against the other top schools. This is our end of the school year exam, it’s truly tough this year, but that’s only because we have such outstanding talents so we just show them that the world is a place with hidden tigers and lions.”

Jim simply nodded in agreement, he knew that this guy just made all this up so that his son would surely be able to marry his daughter, but to Jim the harder the challenge the better it was for Xzavon.

“Mom where are Jack, Shina, and Eric?” Xzavon said worriedly, he hasn’t seen them since his parents came to see them.

Seeing that her son was worried she lightly smiled, “They went to town of course, to pick out some clothes and weapons for their stay here. Can’t have them come here without anything good can we.”

Disbelief showed on Xzavons face, he was also slightly envious at them because they got to go get great equipment. He wanted some top quality mage equipment, and some spellbooks. “Can I go out in town too?”

Jim noticed that his son wanted to use their money to get good gear for himself, but who is Jim, “haha you’re really a stupid child. Not only didn’t you get number 1 you even want to spend our money, those that don’t meet our expectations don’t get to use our money.”

Xzavon was startled, then he raised his voice, “What! You stingy old man, if I want to spend money let me spend money. You have a son like me and yet you treat me like shit, don’t make it seem like I’m not your own son.”

*Smack!*

Jim hit Xzavon across the face in front of everyone, truly making Xzavon lose some face but who would dare do anything or yet can do anything against Jim. “Stop acting like some spoiled rich kid, don’t spend what you haven’t earned. And don’t ask for other people’s money if you have no means to repay them.”

Holding his left jaw Xzavon glared at Jim, surely he wanted to get revenge but he can’t now he’ll just have to wait it out. ‘Just you wait old man, you’ll get what’s coming to you soon enough.’

“Honey don’t worry, you’ll still get a reward from me.” Victoria said, then she opened up a portal. “Come let’s go get your reward, then you can return and maybe they’ll be back by then. This reward is better than those things your friends are getting.”

Following his mom into the portal Xzavon was transported to a brown colored room. Victoria turned around and pointed towards a bed, “Sit down I’m going you help you open your spirit realm, that way you can release your spirit.” Xzavon complied to his mothers wishes and sat cross-legged on the bed, then he closed his eyes almost as if he was meditating. Victoria put up a light array around her son, this was no normal light array it was on that helped put people into a higher realm of consciousness. It is usually used to help people who want to become mages yet are unable to meditate, meditate.

Xzavon was felt like he was drifting away, not just away from this state, but as if he was getting pulled apart from this world. Suddenly a black light flashed, then a blue, next it was purple and these lights continued to flash back and forth in an endless motion. He felt calm, yet he was not, he felt worried but yet he knew that everything was going to be alright. Opening his eyes, it was a world filled with stars flashing through the horizon, below him was nothing but sea water. You would think this place is ordinary, but it isn’t everyones spirit realm is different, some people appear in a black secluded space, others appear in the sky. Xzavon’s realm was different, not only was the sky not dark, it was purple, the stars that were passing by were blue, and the sea water beneath him was black.

The water was still, almost unmoving like it was calm. Unlike the sea, the stars were moving fiercely though the sky as if it was worried something might hurt it. Maybe these two things meant something, or maybe it was just his subconscious feelings of life.

Xzavon knew this was his spirit realm, but he could not find a trace of his spirit anywhere, no matter if he looked straight, at the water, or at the stars. Nothing could be found, he really wondered if he had a spirit like his parents thought, but he knew he couldn’t give up. It’s not that he wanted to connect with his spirit by any means, it’s just that if he connected to it his parents would stop hassling him, and he can fulfil his dream of being a pure mage.

He felt like 15 minutes have went by, then another 30, he felt tired of searching endlessly for something that might not exist. If it did he had no means of finding it, because in his spirit world it was like an endless plane, you couldn’t see a boundary. “Hey spirit or whatever, come out so i can contract you and leave! Don’t worry, you can spend all your time here in this world, i don’t plan on summoning you ever.” Although Xzavon said that, nothing still happened, he truly felt like giving up. Sadly he couldn’t, it’s not because he didn’t want to, it’s because he didn’t know how to get out of this state. One would say the only way out, is if your spirit decides when you can leave. Being born with a spirit is nice and all, but it also has its ups and downs. The ups being that it can be a powerful spirit beast, the down is that if you don’t make a connection with the beast and it doesn’t send you out of the realm, you’ll be stuck there forever.

A voice that sounded as if it was distant, yet close, “Who are you! Why do you disturb my peace.”

Figuring that was his spirit beast Xzavon answered back, “My name is Xzavon, and who are you?”

“My name….frankly I don’t think you need to know it child. Once you hear it, it might scare you to death.”

The voice caught Xzavons attention from that moment, he wanted to know more about this voice, so he said, “Oh, really. Try me let me see what name is so great that it’ll cause my death.”

“Remember child, the name is UBERAS!”

Xzavon was bewildered, he never heard this name in his life, so who can this spirit even be. He knows that spirit beast have names, but is that really his name.

“Never heard of you before. Are you really a spirit beast?”

The voice shouted back, “Don’t compare me to those things child! I am Uberas, I am not a spirit beast, those things aren’t even worth mentioning to someone as great as me. I, Uberas am a god, one of the mightiest gods of them all.”

Curiously Xzavon asked, “A god huh, then why are you in my spirit realm?”

“Good question child, good question. Have you heard of Earth child, the world that surpassed all others?”

“My dad said something about it, but really didn’t pay attention that much. Said something about meteor descending, then god appearing, and new world.”

“I see, so the gods tricked those humans just like the others huh. Let me tell you child, You are in the world of Spurn, it is one of the 50 worlds out there. But that’s only what the gods want to tell you, in reality there were 55 worlds out there. They belonged to different races, the world of Pare, belonged to Elves. Xevois belonged to the Drawves, Plov to the Monsters, and Clorth to the beastman. The last one as you might have guessed it was Earth, but they are no longer around. It is simply because in each world there is atleast 5 gods, but overgod never cherished them as much as the other 5 gods. So one god from each world baned together to overturn the other 5 worlds, saying, “Why should they have people who cherish them, and worship them, while we don’t” and destroyed the other 5 worlds along with their gods. First was the monsters, they attacked and destroyed the world in the blink of an eye. Next was the Elven world, but the god put up a bit of a fight, but in the end he also died with his world. Seeing as how the other 50 worlds were now filled with monsters and elves, they were satisfied, until the monsters and elves started a war. That war lasted many years, almost 1000 years, before the gods became upset at the change, the monsters started diminishing the number of elves. Which meant, they were losing their population, to overturn that they once again sought out 2 new worlds. The beastman, and the Drawves also appeared in the 50 worlds after 1000 years of fighting. Them being here caused a fight over who should side with who, the beastman quickly allied with the winning side, while the drawves wanted peace, but they couldn’t have that. The drawves decided to side with the elves, but that only lasted around 500 years, then they disappeared to the underground where they could live in peace. Seeing that the elves side lost a huge part of their fighting force, the beastman and monsters attacked, forcing the elves to go into hiding. To the gods, this was amusing watching which side would win what, but it still wasn’t enough if they all left and one side dominated the others into fear. Thus they went to Earth, the world that hosted Humans, my world. I knew they were coming, but who am I, I am Uberas! Foolish gods thought they would kill me, but I hatched a plan to appear close to 50 years later. I never thought i would end up in the spirit realm of a mere child, this is disgraceful. Truthfully i thought i would at least be reincarnated into a boy/girl and seek vengeance for what they have done. Now i can do nothing, even my godly abilities have been sealed away, and I can do nothing but watch the gods enjoy their fun, i can’t even get vengeance for what they have done!”

Xzavon felt moved at the voices words, he never knew the real story behind the meteor crash or anything else, he felt disgusted at the gods. How could they destroy the homes of others only to appease their enjoyment. “Don’t worry, once i become strong enough i will help you with your revenge. With the power of a mage no one will be able to stand in my way, no one!”

“Child, a mere mage vs a god, that’s a childs dream. If you want power you need to make sacrifices, only then will you be able to become powerful. Without sacrifices you are only wasting your time trying to become strong, being strong is nothing, because there will always be someone stronger than you. But if you want to power to fight the gods, I will give it to you in exchange for something you hold. What do you say, do you want the power the fight the gods, let alone the fame of having your name spread wide?”

 

Quest: Exact Vengance upon the gods of the 50 worlds

Uberas the god of Earth is your spirit beast, although he was once a god he was reincarnated into a spirit beast of the absolute highest rank, Divine Spirit beast. He has agreed to become your spirit beast, but he can’t leave the spirit world until you make 3 sacrifices. Those sacrifices are going to be of something that will change the world for the better, or the worst. Whether it has something to do to you directly, or indirectly the sacrifices you make will in turn give you the ultimate power, the power to slay the gods. Accepting this quest means you can never abandon it, the gods will also know of your choice, although they won’t interfere with a mere mortal, but once you make the 3rd sacrifice you won’t simply be a mere mortal anymore. Accepting this quest also means you accept the fate of great power, and once you accept a sacrifice will be made in return for the request. After all 50 worlds are without a god, you will be given a reward that is worth more than life itself. Time limit: Before your death.

Rewards: ????

 

Accept

Decline

 

Xzavon thought about it for a moment, a sacrifice what will happen if he needs to get rid of something he deeply cares for, but great power that can spread his name, “I accept!”

After accepting the quest, a golden light surrounded him, and then it rushed towards his body. It was painful, he was on the ground screaming, felt like his limbs were being torn apart, his blood vessels, even his heart was being broken and rebuilt. Through this process he also gained the memory of the past, his parents past their ancestors everything that has happened on Earth and how it changed. From the beginning of how Earth first appeared, to its destruction it was all implanted in him. He learned of the hardships people went through, the cruel ways they died, to how empires were built. Seeing wars being waged just because people wanted to ‘unify’ the world for their own goals, and seeing people destroy empires. Seeing the world advance with technology, and seeing how his parents lived before coming to this world. All of it, even the fight with the gods from the 4 other worlds, he learned everything Uberas said was true, and he felt deep rage somewhere in his body.

*BOOM!*

The golden light vanished, and Xzavon opened his eyes to see himself back in the brown room with his mother looking at him strangely. He hadn’t moved at all, looking at his mother he asked, “Is anything wrong with the way I look?”

Shaking her head, Victoria let out some tears and hugged her son, she simply replied, “Not at all honey. In fact I was worried if you wake or not, it’s already been 3 months since you tried to contract your spirit beast. School has started and everyone has been worried about you, but i’ve made sure to come here daily to check on you.”

Xzavon was stunned, 3 months went by, just like that, it felt more like 6 hours if anything. He looked at his appearance, sure enough there was no change, not like how he felt in his spirit world. Xzavon grabbed his mothers arms and pushed her away slowly looking at her with a slight smile, “Don’t cry mom, i’m back aren’t I?”

Showing her white teeth she smiled the biggest smile she could muster, “You did!”

Chapter 7 – Whose Number 1 this year?

Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter as much as i did writing it, truly some good fights.

~Xzavon

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

-Saint Hail Academy Arena B-

Xzavon didn’t think his group would be this famous, it’s only the first day they came here but they are already making a name for themselves. If this keeps up it won’t be long before a spot in the top 10 in the school becomes his. The only question that’s running through his mind is who’s going to be number 1 this year.

Seeing that the number of people arriving at the stands a man and woman comes on stage. The man looks pretty normal, more like if these two were going out the woman would be wearing the pants in the relationship. He has a feminine look, probably because it’s a trait of his race, yeah you guessed it he’s an elf. Golden hair coming just above his eyebrows, with the back in a ponytail, wearing a black suit. The girl on the other hand is super toned, probably too toned for her own good, muscles everywhere that’s visible, short black hair and a scar coming down her left eye. Scary, she’s not even wearing a dress, she dressed armor instead, truly a brute if Xzavon had a say in it. Just looking at her somewhat reminds him of Jim, that guy would probably try to challenge her to a duel.

“Attention, first I want to congratulate everyone on passing the first 2 exams. Sadly you didn’t get into the school yet, but don’t worry all you have to do is win 1 match against your opponents. You might be wondering why would we hold a tournament then if you only have to win one match, well that’s simple, the top 5 will represent your year in our semi-annual subjugation. These 5 will become the leaders and form a group, that group will then participate to go practice killing monsters. They will also get special attention in class, and receive skill books for our schools most prized skills. Not only that, but all those in their group will be able to get the same benefits The winner of todays tournament has a chance to challenge the 10th person in the student council to a duel, the winner of that duel will be able to become the 10th seat in the student council. I’m sure you are all aware of our student council, and im sure that you all are hoping to one day join them. They are our pride and joy, and once they graduate tons of sects will be looking to recruit them to join them, their future is surely limitless. Now without further adue let the competition begin.”

Man that elf surely has a manly voice, it echoed throughout the stadium, everyone didn’t have a choice but to listen to his voice. Slowly the first few fights began, and Xzavon was watching but in his mind they were all lame fights. He wasn’t lying, they truly were lame those people hardly even had any spells to use, but who was he to talk he hardly had any attacking spells himself. Not to mention he hasn’t even had a chance to try out his new spells.

Somewhere in the stands was a man with hair and pale skin watching the fights go on. He was by himself, wondering when his son would get a chance to fight. Suddenly he felt the gaze of someone watching him, he quickly turned his head only to find out it was one of his old rivals. Walking towards the white-haired man the figure moved elegantly, “Oi, Jim wouldn’t expect you to be here of all places. Did your clan make you come here to look at future prospects, or are you eyeing the competition?”

Yes the man who was watching the boring duels was Jim, Xzavons father. He was here to watch his son duel and see what place he would get in this years tournament, if he didn’t at least win 2 duels he would be punished. Knowing that this man was talking to him Jim bitterly smiled, “Hey Arron, never thought you would be here either. I guess your position in the clan is falling down and the youngsters want your spot huh. So you probably came here to recruit someone who you could work from the shadows to take over huh?”

Laughing Arron looked at Jim, “You know me too well Jim, but that isn’t the reason i’m here. My son chose to come here so i’m looking after him in todays duel making sure he gets a good ranking. Let me tell you, there’s no one who can challenge him in the arena, he’ll surely get first place easy.”

“Oh, really…it might not be as easy as you think. My son is also taking part, pretty sure he can beat your son just like I beat you.” Not even taking a second look at Arron Jim turned back to the arena.

Seeing that Jim looked away Arron turned to the arena, “That was in the past Jim, you’ve been gone for 15 years new things have happened and a new lord has risen.” Jim looked at him, this was his first time hearing about this, “What are they called and what is their goal?”

Seeing that Jim took the bait Arron turned his head and started walking away, “If your son really does beat my son i’ll tell you who they are. As for their goal, just watch your back.” Arron waved his hand at Jim and walked off, not even a second look.

“Hey Alfred, you’ve been in charge while I was away, who are these people.” Jim said in a low voice to no one.

*Flash*

Suddenly a young man with sharp eyes and a dark face appeared behind Jim, he was surprised that Jim even knew he was here. “Ah, I didn’t think you noticed me leader, your perception really is first class. As for who he was talking about they call themselves The Purple Alliance, nothing we can’t handle though.”

Suddenly an idea flashed through Jims head, “Nah don’t worry about it, i’ll just let my son handle it. If he can’t do this much then he won’t amount to anything in the future.” Hearing Jims thought, Alfred surely didn’t think he would hand the task of dealing with them to his son, “Are you sure, I don’t think he’s ready to handle something of that scale.”

Shrugging his shoulders, “Don’t mind it, whether he does or doesn’t its up to him. You know what we had to do to build ourselves to the top, without the strength to carry yourself, how can you carry someone else. Oh look he’s going up to fight now.”

Xzavon walked onto the arena, his opponent was a female. Long white hair, red eyes, white skin and she was wearing a skin-tight blue dress, if he hadn’t seen beautiful girls before he would have been mesmerized by her. That wasn’t the case though, after the start of the bell to begin fighting he eyed her for a bit.

Seeing as to how Xzavon kept staring at her she showed a charming smile, “Am I that charming, If you get off the arena i’ll give you some good loving.”

Xzavon thought for a while before shaking  his head, “Nah I don’t need any good loving, and you aren’t that charming.” After finishing his sentence he used <Dash> and appeared before her in the time it took to take 4 breaths. Lifting up his left leg, he was about to roundhouse kick her in the head, but suddenly he heard something, “How dare you hit her. Don’t you know who she is, she’s one of the top beauties that have taken the exam this year. If you lay a hand on her i’ll personally kill you myself and deliver your body to her as a present.”

She took this chance to deliver a punch straight at Xzavons face, however before it landed he was gone. Appearing behind her he streched his hand around he waist, then he used his other hand and felt her chest. Seeing this the man who yelled at him was angry, it wasn’t just him everyone was mad how dare he feel on this young maidens chest during a competition. This is immoral, he should be disqualified for this act, and yet the elf and warrior woman cheeks turned red at this but didn’t say anything. It’s not that they didn’t want to say anything, it’s just that this is a competition and body contact will be involved, just as long as it doesn’t go too far.

“Tck! Not good enough.” Xzavon said and tossed her off the arena, the fight ended fast, no one expected the fight to end that fast. Passing the first fight with ease, Xzavon felt proud of himself even if he didn’t throw a blow at least he tested his speed and knew that he was fast enough to land a few blows on his opponent. Walking past the guy who said something to him, “If you don’t like it, make it to the top 10 then i’ll personally teach you a lesson.” This exchanged happened in less than a breath, and when the youth turned around Xzavon was already long past him. “The name is Omar, Omar Duck. Remember the name of your murder, and don’t cry to your damn mother when it happens either.” Omar yelled at Xzavons back.

-Arena D-

On the other side of the building, a female was stepping onto the arena. Everyone felt scared of her after the things they heard, especially how she opening made comments during everyone’s fights about how they were slow or how her grandmother can kick their ass. The first time she stepped on stage, she ended the fight before her opponent even knew it started, she rushed towards him kneed him in the gut, while he grabbed his stomach in pain she elbowed him to the ground. He layed unmoving and the referee had to come call a stretcher and some healers to heal him, they never knew someone could be so scary. 10 seconds, the fight lasted less than 10 seconds who in the world can handle such a monster, of course they didn’t dare say she was a monster because of her attitude.

Shina was looking at her opponent grinning, she just wanted to beat him and then the other people to make her name known. After the first fight she felt that no one would be able to beat her, she was going to use this tournament to get herself some underlings. Little did she know that a group of people were glancing at her, not in admiration but with hate. How can they let a girl beat them down, they would lose their dignity if they let that happen, they would rather die before that. But knowing her strength, the only way to win was to cheat, of course they wouldn’t cheat in the wide open, but they brought pills to buff themselves up and increase their stats. With this Heavenly pills, it would increase all their stats by 100, that should be enough to beat her until she summits to them.

Although she had a nasty attitude, they would still like to mess her up and call her names while they dominate her. Let her know her place as the whore she really is, the only place she belongs in on her knees.

Feeling someones gaze at her she didn’t mind, she just thought someone was admiring her. Once the ref told them to start she rushed towards her opponent, instead of staying for a fight, “I Conced-” Before he could even finish her fist went right smack dab into his face, the ref stopped the fight before she could land a second blow. Although her attacks hardly did any damage if any, it would still hurt like hell to get hit with her strength. Her opponents wouldn’t die with her physical attacks, but they would get hurt.

-Arena A-

In arena a, both Jack and Eric had an easier time. Their opponents conceded at the start of the fight, so they were just sitting in the stands talking to some girls they met. On the left of Eric was a super hot chick with a huge chest, it was like two watermelons getting ready to burst. She also had long red hair reaching down to her waist, and her eyes seemed so innocent. On the left of Jack was another girl with a huge chest, but she had shorter hair which was also red. These two girls were twins who passed their first match also, but with a little more difficulty than Jack and Eric.

They figured since these two might be the strongest ones here why not try to get close to them and shine in the spotlight. The might even get the help later on while they attend the academy from these two if they got into any trouble. Jack and Eric felt the gazes of the males staring with killing intent at them, but they didn’t mind. ‘Damn those two, do girls really care about strength. I want a big breasted girl at my side too, and shove my face into her two watermelons, who wouldn’t that would be every mans dream’ just thinking about that got all the males even more angrier at them. At the top were two boys who were staring at Jack and Eric, they really wanted to fight them.

“Hey Ash, I think we might have found our match in this stupid arena.” The guy with short blue hair said to the guy next to him in a low voice. Ash was slightly taller than him by half a head, and he nodded in agreement, “Maybe Luke, hopefully they last more than 5 minutes against us. Damn dad telling us to hold back our strength saying ‘No one there is worth your time, so don’t show off too much’ obviously he didn’t think of these two black horses.”

-Arena B-

After that first fight with the girl, Xzavons next opponent who was also female didn’t even want to fight. She covered up her chest from his view and conceded the fight as fast as she could. He waited until finally it was his turn again, he was hoping to get a decent opponent this time. “523 vs 524” the ref called out. Xzavon noticed that the one who was stepping on stage was the guy who said he would kill him. ‘Whats his name again….something with an O….oh well better end this quickly’ he thought as he looked at Omar.

“Finally i get the chance to teach you damn manners. Maybe if you concede now I, Omar will let you off with small bruises. If you stand here your daddy will teach you a good lesson in manners.” After he said that Xzavon couldn’t take it and broke out laughing, everyone was wondering why he was laughing.

“Whats wrong with that guy, doesn’t he know who he’s going agasint. All his fights have been easy so far, but now that he’s facing Omar he’s dead for sure. When that guy says he’s going to kill someone he really does it, not even the athourities take action against him.”

The guy next to him agreed with him, “He just doesn’t care, look at him laughing in the face of death, truly disgusting. If I had Omars strength I wouldn’t have even waited until now to tell him whose boss, would have let him know from the start. Omar is too nice letting him do what he pleases.”

“Omar I love you! Please marry me, I don’t care if im not your first wife.” A few female voices sounded.

Xzavon stopped laughing as he heard the comments, he finally paid attention to Omar whose eyes were glaring at him like daggers. This guy is serious about this fight, Xzavon got serious too and as soon as the ref told them to fight he used closing the distance. Omar knew he would do something like that, but he could keep up with Xzavon and countered with his own rushing towards him. *Boom!* Omars fist landed against Xzavon’s leg and caused a semi shock wave.

“He’s dead for sure, bet you he can’t even move that leg again. He’s lucky he didn’t get thrown off stage, Omar must have been using 50% of his strength.”

Omar didn’t think Xzavon was this strong, he didn’t use 50% of his strength but 100% and this guy evenly matched him. Omar hopped back and hit his fist together, <Fire Fist> is the move he used. <Fire Fist> exactly how the name sounds, it turns your first into fire, and increases the damage it does by 50%, it also causes a burn effect on the opponent, this is Omars family skill.

Seeing Omar use that skill Xzavon was stunned momentarily, but he gathered himself and used <Dash> again, this time when he used his leg to kick he enhanced it with mana control to make a small shield around it. Omar seeing this smirked, ‘this guy just doesn’t understand’, however how would Omar know that Xzavon used mana this time to make his kick even harder and sturdier than the last. Throwing his fist towards Xzavons leg, *Boom* *Boom!* *Crack* that crack sound echoed through the stadium everyone heard it. They were waiting until the smoke cleared from that encounter hoping to see Xzavon laying on the ground, but once it cleared they were stunned stiff. Omars hand was broken, it was leaning outwards and you could see his bone.

The ref seen this stopped the fight immediately, announcing Xzavon as the winner. Xzavon just left the stage and went back to his seat, ‘atleast he put up more of a fight than the other people’. Seeing Xzavons calm face after the exchange everyone thought this guy must be insanely strong, he wasn’t even limping after getting hit my Omars <Fire Fist>. It must be known that <Fire First> is a high ranked skill, and getting hit by it would cause someones body to become crispy after getting hit, yet Xzavon wasn’t even slightly bruised.

-Arena D-

Shinas turn finally came up again, this time it was against a guy who she didn’t even notice before. He wore glasses with black hair, even his eyes was black, ‘this guy is creepy’ she thought. Seeing the ref saying they could fight she did the usually and ran straight at him, but that guy just blocked it with his hand. Gripping her fist with his left hand he yanked her towards him, turned around and roundhouse kicked her in the face. She was sent flying in the air just barely staying on the stadium, she coughed up mouthfuls of blood. Her eyes were sparkling, ‘Finally a real challenge’ she wiped the blood from her mouth and charged at him again.

Appearing in front of him again, she ducked his left jab, and swept his feet. Losing his balance he almost fell over, but using his right hand he rotated around on the ground and got up. He glared at her, rushed towards her throwing a right, Shina dodge and hit him in the gut. While she punched from below, he was going to knee her in the head. Barely seeing the knee coming she dodge it by a hairs breath.

“This guy is pretty good don’t you think? He can even handle that monster, we are saved finally a savior is here!”

“What do you mean, are you stupid! What happens when that monster loses, we’ll have to face the other monster, you think he’ll just give up the fight when we step up on stage. Idiot! He’ll probably kick our asses worse than she would, I mean look at who’s taking the most hits here, he barely got hit in the entire exchange yet that monster got hit 5 times more than he has.”

“What do you expect, you guys don’t should feel ashamed of yourselves not evening knowing who he is.” A voice sounded out from behind the two, when they heard this they turned around to see who it was. It wasn’t just them, everyone was looking at that person wanting to know who that guy was.

“Let me tell you, that guy isn’t so simple so far he still hasn’t used a skill but the girl is quite good also being able to match him without using a skill either. But she won’t be able to keep it up for long, because that guy is the son of the leader of the Forsaken Night clan. Once he uses one of his skills she’s done for.”

They looked at the guy who was talking before gulping down their saliva, who was Forsaken Night clan? They were one of the 11 lords, and the leaders son they all heard stories about him but they never thought they would see him in action. All the stories they heard were about him being monstrously strong, everyone was comparing him to Jim back in his younger days saying that once he grows up some more he’ll be able to beat Jim in a duel and take the title of the strongest. Seeing him in action now, they had no doubts about it. Some even took pity on Shina for being able his opponent, they now knew that he probably wasn’t even use 30% of his strength. As for the group of people who wanted to beat Shina themselves, they threw that idea out the window as soon as they knew she would lose. As for the guy who would beat her up, they didn’t even think about trying to cheat to beat him, if he was only using 30% of his strength and was already beating her up, what would happen to hem.

*Boom!* Shina was sent flying out of the arena, and the guy just casually walked off the stage.

“FUCK!!! Just you wait, i’ll get my revenge for today!” Shina yelled at him after she got up off the ground.

(AN: Well shina that’s what you get for being cocky now isn’t it.)

(Shina: Who the hell are you? Fuck you and your grandmother!)

(AN: Damit! Whats with you characters coming to life, why don’t you just stay on the page and let me do my job!)

(Shina: Oh you’re the author. Damn you, you fucker! Why didn’t you make we win! Hey, don’t run away get your ass back here!!!)

-Arena A-

Jack was on the arena standing off against a guy with short blue hair, but one thing was different about them and that was Jack was bleeding while the other guy wasn’t. “Ah! I thought i finally found something to play around with you could hardly take 5 hits and your already getting broken. Just concede so we can move on to the next round.”

Jack wasn’t going to listen to the voice, and used <Lightning step> to appear before the blue haired guy. Throwing a <Mystic Punch> but was dodged by the blue haired kid, he turned around  chopped Jacks neck knocking him unconscious. He picked Jack up and tossed him to Eric, “This was a pain, take care of him next time or else I wont be so polite.” and he walked off the stage.

“Ash don’t you think you used too much strength this time. Could have let the poor guy off with one <Phoenix Chop> but no, you just had to drag the fight out to test yourself huh.”

Seeing Luke scolding him he just shook his head, “Nah, he was stronger than i thought. Really a persistent fellow maybe we should tell dad about him when we return to the clan later. Anyways, it looks like your facing that guys pal next duel good luck.” Ash said and took his seat next to Luke.

Looking at were the guy was coming from Eric felt furious, this guy must be related to the guy who beat up Jack. He was definitely going to get revenge for Jack, stepping onto the arena the match soon began. Opening the fight with <Quick Step> he approached in front of the other kid, Eric raised his hand and used <Chop> which came down as quick as thunder. *Boom* Eric missed the attack, but the force of it caused a huge commotion, and the other kid was on the other end of the arena. “Woah, that was a close one. We didn’t even introduce ourselves, let me start i’m Luke Crestin.”

Everyone heard his voice, once they found out who he was they got excited to see one of the members from the 11 lords fight. Luke and Ash were from the Crimson Crest sect, a powerful sect that ruled like an iron hammer. Everyone knew of their prestige and no one dared to get in their path, but everyone adored them because of their unwavering strength.

Eric was scratching his head, “Oh my bad man, i’m Eric. Now that we have introduced ourselves, let us begin.” Using <Quick Step> to close the distant Luke used the same move also, and threw a punch towards Eric. Eric barely dodged the attack, it actually cut the side of his cheek, he countered with an elbow which went slightly past Luke’s jaw. The spectators were surprised at this, these two were about evenly matched so this was bound to be a good match for them to see, they weren’t the only ones happy about this Ash was also. Seeing his brother found a good match he was also slightly disappointed that he didn’t get to face off against him.

Eric used <Cut> and sliced his hand in the air, leaving a white light behind his hand, Luke dodged it but a part of his white shirt got caught in the attack and now it had a line going across it. He used <Hammer Hand> to attack Eric, but Eric seen this coming and retaliated with a <Slash>. *Boom!* using this chance Luke disappeared in thin air, Eric didn’t see him but he immediately used <Keen Sense> which located Luke. Looking towards the left he threw another <Slash> at the air, Luke appeared around the same time the slash landed. *Boom* Luke was sent flying towards the edge of the stadium, but he recovered quickly and used <Quick Step> to close the distant between them. Jumping in the air Luke used <Leopard Kick> towards Eric, who followed it up with a <Cut>. *Boom!!* the sound echoed throughout the stadium, and both figures were sent out of the arena.

The ref went on stage looking awkward at this, “What do i say folks, both of them are eliminated.” This sent boo’s towards him because clearly they wanted to see more and they wanted to find out which one of them was stronger. Ash was astounded, never would he have thought that someone could challenge Luke but it seems that his brother met a worthy opponent.

-Arena B-

Finally winning his final match, Xzavon proceeded into the top position #1 in arena B. Now he would have to face the other winners from the other 3 arenas to see who would be ranked 1. He was excited hoping to see Shina, Jack, and Eric again but also to see how far each one of them go.

The whole arena was changed, Xzavon had to move into a new field in the middle of the Academy. He was surprised to see that Shina, Jack, and Eric weren’t the top in their arena, he was disappointed with them. But how would Xzavon know that they fought against strong opponents, it’s not like he didn’t fight against strong people either, it’s just that he didn’t’ find anyone who could match his strenght.

The people who he saw was a male with short blue hair, another male but he had black hair and glasses, and a downright beautiful female. She had neck length blue hair, a white top and some short blue jeans. Didn’t look like she was wearing make up at all either, she could cause the whole town to fight over her.

The ref went up and announced the first fight of the top 4, “523 vs 2213”. Xzavon went up and seen that his opponent was the black-haired kid, he didn’t know how Shina lost to this guy he looked weaked.

“OMG look its Gunner! He won arena D easily after he beat that brute of a female, he’s going the win the whole thing. If I could have him as my boyfriend i could truly die happy!”

A girl who heard that denied her, “Lies, Its my Ash that’s going to win it all. No one can challenge his quick step, he appears in an instant and knocks all of his opponent out with ease.”

A few guys said in unison, “Who can match our goddess Holly. Shes so beautiful, truly if anyone had her as a wife why would they even need someone else. Not to mention she’s from one of the 11 lords.”

“Guys chill, they are all from the 11 lords, i just feel sorry for that white-haired kid. He just doesn’t know what he’s going up against.” A voice sounded, and all the others nodded in agreement.

The match started and Xzavon used <Dash> to close the distance, knowing that he beat Shina he didn’t waste an ounce of his strength and put mana into his leg to make it sturdier. When it landed on Gunners body it was blocked by his forearm, but not without him sliding a few inches.

Seeing that Gunners body moved when he blocked that kicked it left people speechless, ‘who is this guy’ they thought.

Up in the stands Jim had a bright smile on his face, which turned back calm when he seen who was approaching. “Yo Jim, seems like your son didn’t make it to the top 4 huh?” Yup, this voice was none other than Arron, Jims old rival. “Haha, my kid is fighting your boy Arron. What do you think pretty good huh?” Arron took a glance at his son and Xzavon fighting, he turned back to Jim, “Oh that’s your boy, no wonder he made it this far. Seems like a dark horse has risen and no one knows who he is. Too bad he’s going to lose to Gunner.” Jim didn’t take it to heart and just kept watching the match, “Maybe, maybe not guess we’ll just have to see. Also I decided I wont handle the Purple Alliance, I’ll just let Xzavon test the waters with them.” Arron eyebrows furrowed, “Not surprising you found out about them so quickly. But why let him handle it, if it was me who was in your shoes I would just show off my might and wipe them out instantly.”

Showing a slight smile, “It’ll be good practice for him.”

Xzavon was sweating and panting, but he wasn’t the only one Gunner also felt the heat of this battle. He knew that his opponent was strong, probably one of the strongest in this year, he wouldn’t hold back anymore. Jumping back a few meters his hands flashed and he drew a dagger out of the air. It wasn’t really out of thin air, it was more like he moved so fast and grabbed it from his back pocket that it seemed like he got it from no where. Xzavon seen what he did and glanced at him, “So we are getting serious are we, guess i’ll go all out too.”

Gunner ran forward against Xzavon and his dagger was as quick as lightning, he was using <Flash Attack> to quickly attack Xzavon. *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* echoed, everyone thought Xzavon was turned into mince meat, however they never thought a shield would protect him. This wasn’t a normal shield, it was a shield made of mana, <Mana Shield>. Everyone who was in arena B was surprised, “This damn guy was a mage the whole fucking time!” Someones voice was heard, everyone was surprised they knew how strong he was in close range fighting, but he didn’t even use any magic attacks yet and he was already strong. They were really wondering who he was to be able to be that strong. “Who the hell is that guy, he can fight evenly with Gunner and he didn’t even use any spells yet. This guy is definitely from the 11 lords or one of the rising clans, someone tell me who the hell he is!”

It wasn’t just the students, some of the teachers who seen this was also surprised, “Hurry, find me everything on this kid. Why have i never heard anything about him, this unexpected dark horse, if he was from one of the 11 lords we would have known ages ago. Check every noble family and look for him, i want to know who this child is.” The lady wearing the warriors outfit stepped forward, “Sir, his name is Xzavon.” The teacher looked confused he never heard of anyone with that name, “Whats his last name?” Her cheeks turned red, “Well the thing is, we never got a last name.” “WHAT! How could you not get his full name, do you know what this means! Samantha you disappoint me, how could you not get a big character like him to tell you his last name.”

Samantha’s cheeks turned deep red, “I-i’m sorry sir, i didn’t think he would make it this far, also we are only required to take their first name not last.”

Seeing that she was truly sorry the teacher forgave her, “Its ok, just make sure to get his name after this.”

Xzavon and Gunner were going at it, Xzavon was keeping his distance using <Ether Bolts>, while Gunner was chasing after him slashing through the bolts one after another. “”, Gunner said and suddenly his body disappeared in thin air, it was like he became one with the dark. Nah, more like black mist covered the whole arena blocking Xzavon from locating him. Xzavon knew something was coming and used <Mana Sense> in less than 5 breaths Gunner attacked from behind Xzavon. *Boom* *Boom* more sounds kept echoing on the arena, but no one could see anything because of the mist. A few minutes later the mist disappeared and both of the youths on the arena were breathing heavy, clothes destroyed. “Meh, you’re a good opponent. Hopefully you’ll be a worthy rival later on.”, Xzavon said in admiration, he really looked up to this guy. After he said that he walked off the stage and took a seat in the stands.

Everyone was surprised, why didn’t he finish the fight they all wondered. They really wanted to know if the dark horse would win or would the 11 lords still reign over them. How would they know Xzavon left the arena because he ran out of mana, if they knew that they would surely laugh at him. So it was announced that Gunner won the match, although he wasn’t happy because it wasn’t a real win.

“Oi, Jim it seems like my boy won this one.” Arron said happily. “Haha, this boy really is going to get it later on, he actually walked off the arena in the middle of the fight. Even i never thought he would do that.” Jim lightly laughed at his son.

After Ash and Holly fought for 20 minutes they took a 10 minute break so Ash could catch his breath. Ash might have won the battle, but it was a good fight and he found a new rival so he was happy. When he fought with Gunner the duel went on for around 30 minutes, with Ash being knocked out of the ring. Thus Gunner was crowned the winner of this year, but everyone had one question in mind, ‘Who would have won if Xzavon and Gunner kept on fighting’. Even Ash and Holly took notice of Xzavon who was sitting waiting for this to be over, if he fought on par with Gunner then he must be strong.

“A well deserved win towards this years champion Gunner Night! Hopefully you guys can learn a thing or two from him during your stay at Saint Hail Academy. Once again give a round of applause to Gunner!”

Chapter 6 – Saint Hail Academy entrance exam

-Captial of Falir Kingdom, Devertown City-

Smiling at the kids behind her she raised her hands, “Welcome to Devertown City, the capital of Flair Kingdom. At the building over there you will take your entrance exam, hopefully you get a good score and don’t put shame on us.”

Xzavon and Co. all looked at the surrounds, which were even more grander than the last town they were in. The population on the street was at least 50 times more than what they have seen in the last town, everything was wider and the shops were so dazzling. Taking a look at the school building that more looked like a castle they were stunned, jaws dropping thinking this is the school they were going to attend. Little did they know that was only one of the 5 buildings Saint Hail Academy owned, and each one got even better than the last.

“Wow, this is simply amazing. If I didn’t see the last town I would think this is as big as it gets.” Jack said in amazement at the view of the city. The other youths were slowly nodding their heads in agreement at the amazing view, while Victoria and Jim were laughing inwardly at them. Knowing its the first time they have seen something like this, they truly felt like they were country bumpkins.

“I thought there would be nothing but humans here. Look at that girl over there with the silver hair and long ears, and that guy over there with the beard but he’s so short.” Shina was truly astonished at the sight, but she wasn’t wrong there were other races besides humans in this town. When the humans came here it was later discovered that the Elves were the first among them to come to this strange world, but they went into hiding in the dense forest. Next were the dwarves who weren’t hiding but they didn’t have time to meddle with the surface world affairs. They simply stayed in the caves in the underground, until humans started appearing.

Once the humans started building a new civilization the other two races started to help out, they were wondering why didn’t they do something similar when they arrived. Dwarves helped build buildings, carriages, weapons while the elves helped with decorations, site locations and management. The humans were mixed in with both groups helping each with whatever were needed, when the first city was done they went on and on building more, but slowly the monsters didn’t like how they were expanding their territory.

Now that the monsters appeared out of hiding the elves immediately knew why they never had this idea, it was because of the monster who were in control of everything. They simply dominated them with overwhelming strength, and numbers. But who are humans, they have overcome great hardships and they worked for what they have so they wouldn’t let the monsters destroy them or their creations. They banded together and worked to take control of the area slowly pushing the monsters back all while expanding their territory. adventurers guilds were made to help subjugate the monsters, merchants started appearing selling different types of weapons, armors, potions, skill books they have found, and even information. All new types of classes started to appear, and with it a new hope for all the races except monsters who were being hunted down.

The monsters retreated but not for long, they expanded their territory in other unknown lands and built up their strength fighting against the humans, elves, and dwarves. Thus a war began which is still going on today, but some monsters felt threatened and went to different worlds with different leaders to expand there. Never would they have thought that the other races would follow, now in all 50 worlds one side dominates the other, and heroes are born and destroyed.

While all this was happening new races started to pop up, mixed breeds between humans and elves and humans and dwarves. They are their own races called demi-humans, but are still accepted by all races.

“Shina it’s impolite to point and stare at other people.” Jack scolded her, but he was staring too at the unfamiliar scene in front of him.

Jim told them not to mind themselves since they would soon be seeing a lot more once they entered the academy. Victoria ran to a store to buy some horses so they can at least arrive at school in time for the first exam. She knows how important the exams are, they add up your total score based on a few test to determine what class you are placed in. She wants them to place high enough that others wont look down on them, and to do that they need to take the first test.

While riding the horses to school the youths obtained a new skill called  <Riding skill> which lets them be able to ride any animal they are able to mount, the higher the skill level the better they are at riding certain animals.

-Saint Hail Academy-

Arriving at Saint Hail Academy entrance, there are tons of other kids and adults at the entrance trying to get in. On the street are tons of carriages and different types of animals that were used to get here. Looking at the surrounding kids it numbered more than 5 thousand Xzavon thought, the seer number sent shivers down his spine as he thought how many would actually get in. He was right on that point, not everyone who took the exam actually got to enter the school, Saint Hail Academy only allowed 2 thousand students in each year. The number of students who took the test and repeated it numbered more than 20 thousand, but Saint Hail Academy couldn’t let just anyone in, they had a condition and that was you needed to be under age 18 to take part in the exam. This was set so that people wouldn’t keep trying to enter the school, it also decreased the number of participants who came back next year to try to take the test. They didn’t come back because of their skill levels, they dind’t come back because they passed the age requirement.

Sighing Eric looked at the group, “Too many people, I wonder if we’ll even be able to take the test.”

Comforting him with a smile Victoria said, “Dont worry Eric, we’ll reach the top of the line before you know it. With me and Jim here it shouldn’t be a problem to even enter the school without the test, let alone take it.”

(AN: You wouldnt Victoria, don’t make use of your status to get them in the school.)

Chopping his wifes head, “Dont say that, or else you’ll make these brats not want to even take the exam and try. Can’t use status for everything, those that don’t work hard are bound to end up alone.”

(AN: Yes, Jim way to go man. Got to keep your wife in check man, who knows what she’ll do if the school doesn’t accept them.)

(Victoria: How dare you, you are just the author what would you know about what I would do. Come here, let you mother show you what she would do.)

(AN: ….’Dafaq….how you talking to me in my own story….)

(Victoria: Don’t you worry about that, Bring your ass here boy!)

(AN: Mother NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! *runs*)

“Mom. Hey Mom! Didn’t you hear me?” Xzavon tilted his head looking at Victoria confused. He’s been calling her name to ask her what kind of test they would take, but it seems as if she’s in her own world.

Finally realizing that someone was calling her name she came out of her daze with a wry smile, “Oh sorry son, was taking care of a pest. Its gone now shouldn’t be a bother anymore. Now what did you say?”

The whole group looked at her like she was crazy, she’s been standing there the whole time and now she just said she took care of a pest. They don’t even want to know what she was doing anymore, “Nothing never mind, forget I said anything.”

Shortly after that akward moment, the group arrived in front of one of the examiners. Staring at the two adults he felt like he knew them from somewhere, but he just couldn’t put a finger on where he had seen them before. taking a glance at the kids he asked for them to go behind the door and come out on the other side. If they passed then they passed the first part, the score would be determined by how long it takes you to pass through. Little did they know that this wasn’t a simple test, you couldn’t walk through the door if you didn’t have the strength the withstand the gravity, or the agility to dodge the arrows.

For Xzavon and co. it was a simple walk in the park, although they were surprised at the fly arrows coming at them, they didn’t feel the gravity. This was mostly due to their training with Jim, the gravity displayed in this room was too light for them, it felt like nothing was pressuring them at all. After around 20 minutes they left the passage and arrived at an open dome like room. It was full of books, and other people who just like them passed the exam.

Taking notice of Xzavon and co. he had a surprised look on his head, this is one of the fastest times he has seen someone complete that exam. Although it isn’t the fastest someone has completed it, but this year it is. The fastest time was 10 minutes, and the person who came out of their dominated all the exams, and became the number 1 disciple and he was only 15 when he did that. His future was limitless, not to mention he had the backing of one of the 11 lords behind his back. His attitude was ok, it wasn’t the best, but at least he wasn’t like those arrogant kids who threw around their family name for respect.

He wasn’t the only one to take notice of them, other youths also noticed the time it took Xzavon and co. to complete the exam and they were all stunned. The longest it took for one of them to complete the test was 1 hour, and yet they seemingly walked through the passage like it was nothing. Only one word ran through their minds, ‘Monsters, these 4 guys are monsters’, but how were they suppose to know that Jim personally trained these 4 youths. How were they suppose to know that in the passage they were also playing around and instead of coming straight out, they were checking out the arrows that were flying at them and seeing who could dodge the most. If they were to rush straight out, they would have finished in roughly 10 minutes also, but they didn’t know that or else if they did they would more than likely give and not take part 3 of the test at all.

“Why are all these fuckers staring at us like we are some sort of animals. If anything their mother looks likes a monster not us.” Shina said, she didn’t like the way that they were staring at them, but it wasn’t like she could do anything to them.

The others who were taking the test felt weird, her talking about their mother like that who does she think she is, someone should go teach her a lesson. Suddenly someone exactly did that, a youth with blue short hair, gray eyes went right over to her, “Who the fuck are you! You must not know who I am, and yet you still talk about my mother that way. Wait until I tell father about this matter, your whole damn family will be exterminated, if you get on the ground and kneel right now just maybe, just maybe i’ll let your family die with corpses.” Seeing how this kid was talking so arrogantly to Shina, Jack stepped forward and was about to smack his face from white to blue when the teacher got involved.

“Ali, don’t go overboard here, no need to get ones family involved with this. How about you guys settle this at the dueling arena. But I must say, that’s only for the ones who pass this stage, if you pass i’ll make special accommodations to let you fight the person who said something about your mother.” The teacher said with his best smile, he didn’t want to offend Ali, but with his status he could only stop the fight for now and hold it later on stage.

Seeing how Ali stood up for them, made the others look at him in admiration, their eyes were sparkling. ‘Just because you got a good time on the first exam doesn’t prove you are strong’ they thought, they all were going to back up Ali in the upcoming fight. Besides, he had the 2nd best score on the exam coming out of the passage in 30 minutes, and he was one of the wealthiest nobles in town. Who would dare lay a hand on him, if it got out that someone actually beat him up, they knew how nobles were with their self-righteous pride, they would tell their family members to go beat that person black and blue. And if they got close enough to Ali, who knows, they might get some money or some skill books from his family.

Xzavon and co. all broke about laughing, they didn’t mean to but it was just that they were playing around. They didn’t expect people to take them seriously, and now Shina has to duel one of them later on.

Seeing that no one else was coming into the 2nd exam the examiner told the youths to approach the stone. Everyone was looking around but no one could find the stone he was talking about, suddenly a large stone, bigger than a boulder appeared from above. *Boom!* It landed hard on the ground, but there weren’t any cracks or dent in the floor, it was more like the stone didn’t even hit the floor. No, that was exactly the reason, the stone didn’t hit the floor it was floating 5in above the floor.

Everyones jaws dropped open, how was the stone floating they all thought. The examiner didn’t take any time to explain and go someone to approach the stone. “This is a magic stone, if you don’t have enough magic power to make the stone turn orange then you have failed the test. Simple right, then we shall begin.”

First person got up and touched the stone and put magic into it, it lit up, but just not orange it turned red.

A voice ran out, “Failed”

This was one thing the examiner didn’t tell them, and that was that in order to light the stone orange you needed at least 500+ mana, anything below that would only light it red. Anything way above that would light it, purple and anything beyond that white. But usually newcomers never lit it past orange so he didn’t think about anyone reaching purple or white.

Next person came up…Failure. Next 5 people Passed, when it came to Ali’s turn he passed and had a grin on Xzavons group.

Xzavon went up, the stone lit up orange, then it went onwards to Jack his also lit up orange. Eric passed also, when it came to Shinas turn however, the stone didn’t turn red, instead it turned purple. The examiner was stunned, in his entire lifetime he has never seen someone new light up the stone purple. This alone meant that they would shake the world, Ali also knew what it meant when the stone got lit up purple. He recalled the fight he had to take part in during the 3rd exam, he already knew he was going to lose no questions asked. Little did he know Shina couldn’t use any magic to fight him with so he was afraid for nothing. The other youths were wondering if she passed the test or not, because clearing it didn’t turn red nor orange, but shortly after the examiner said she passed.

“Trying to show off are you? Not like these guys would get on their knees and beg you to take them as your underlings or something.” Xzavon commented. Eric and Jack burst out laughing, but Shina’s checked blushed red like her secret was getting out. “Shina don’t worry, if Xzavon doesn’t take you, i’ll do you the honor.” Eric said smiling.

“W-what are you talking about. Who would like that thing!” Shina and Xzavon said in unison denying Eric, who was simply grinning.

Jack was scratching his cheek, “Well i guess i’ll have a brother after so long.” Then he patted Xzavons back.

Jack isn’t stupid he knows his sister acts rude and more like a boy instead of a girl, so the amount of guys that would actually like her are slim. He’s really happy that she didn’t decide to become a fighting class because knowing how she is, if she were to fight the number of guys wouldn’t even be slim it would be none. But he also knows if anyone were to go out with her it would have to be Xzavon over everyone else, mostly because they fit each other so well. If someone were to date Shina they would probably wouldn’t last even 2 days around her, but Xzavon has been around for almost 5 years and even though they play around at least he treats her well.

If one were to scan the room you would roughly see about 2500 youths have passed the exam out of the 4000 that were in the room. Now they were going to the last part of the exam, which was to duel it out with the other youths. It was tournament style, elimination matches. They would keep going until they crowned the champion, who would have special privileges as his years president.

Lining up each youth walked forward and stuck their hand into a box, when they pulled it out a number appeared on their hand. After everyone got a number, they looked towards the big screen to see where they were placed and what arena to go to.

This is were Xzavon split off from everyone else, he drew number 523 and had to go to arena B. Eric and Jack went to arena A, while Shina went to arena D, as long as they win at least one duel, they will be able to get into the school.

Once seated in the stands waiting to see what was going to happen he heard voices talking. “Hey, who do you think will be number 1 this year? I heard that there was this girl who passed the magic test with it glowing purple, not the mention she passed the first exam in 20 minutes. Shes totally a monster, whoever duels her will lose i’m putting my money on her.” “What are you talking about? It’s obvious that their whole group are monsters, she was just the only one showing off. I bet you anyone in that group will obviously win, they’ll be the top 5 for sure.”

Xzavon didn’t think his group would be this famous, its only the first day they came here but they are already making a name for themselves. If this keeps up it won’t be long before a spot in the top 10 in the school becomes his. The only question that’s running through his mind is who’s going to be number 1 this year.

(AN: Phew finally got away from that crazy lady. At least she won’t be appearing anytime soon, i knew i should have named her something else to match her attitude who would have knew she would have come alive. *Shivers*)

(??: Finally found you, how dare you run from me i’ll let you know you can’t escape anytime soon.)

(AN: Leave me alone crazzy lady! *run*)

(Victoria: Not this time boy! *freezes authors feet* mawhahaha now shall we have a chat. *smiles wryly)

(AN: *sobs* i-if you wanted to have a talk…then why do you have a whip!)

Story will change depending on the person who is completing the quest also let me know if you guys would like me to finish this mini story off first or add one of these chapters as the main story progresses. Never know might see something fun ;-P, but no promises.

~Xzavon

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

‘1 hour my ass, i’ll never believe in you again’ was running through the minds of Eric, Jack, Shina and Xzavon. Barely 15 minutes have passed before he let those damn wolves chase after them, not to mention they were being slowed down by the weights on around their legs. Although they have increased their strength thanks to training their skills, it still wasn’t enough, at most they could last another 30 minutes before the weights would seriously hinder them. At that time the wolves would catch up, a starving wolf may not have a lot of strength, but a starving wolf wouldn’t let its prey go either.

“I have an idea, why don’t we just climb into a tree and hide there until time is up?” Jack suggested, this was a good idea but it had one flaw. That flaw was how would they climb the tree whose branches are taller than them, even if they got on each other shoulders to reach the branch at least 2 of them would be left on the ground with the wolves.

“You going to sacrifice yourself bimbo?” Shina refuted, she would do anything to get away from the wolves but she wasn’t going to become a sacrifice herself. She wasn’t the only one with this idea, the other 3 also had this same idea, thus this dismissed Jacks idea of climbing a tree.

After running for another 10 minutes they started to feel the weights taking effect, and were panting nonstop. “Fuck, if I live through today Jim is going to get a lot of complaining.” Shina said, but no one said anything because they were all in agreement, although it occurred to them that they might not be able to beat him even if they ganged up on him, they would at least be able to complain in unison to him.

Pointing towards a small dark entrance Eric’s eyes brightened up with hope, “Guys look that entrance over there, might be our only hope.” Looking towards the entrance they eyes were glittering with hope, a look of admiration also flashed in their eyes towards Eric for pointing this out.

Stepping foot into the entrance, it was dark and quiet, way too quiet if someone were to drop a pebble it would echo throughout the cave. “Yup Eric, you picked the best place to hide. We can’t see anything…what would we do if we step forward and fall into a pit with no way out.” Xzavon said, but he was still grateful to get away from the wolves. “This is how you take his kindness Xzavon, shame on you. We should just throw you outside with the wolves at least they wont go after us while we escape because they’ll be too busy chewing on you.”

Anger flared up in Xzavons eyes, “Shina don’t think i forgot what you did, I’ll get my revenge. Just you wait, the moment you let up is the moment you will fall.” Knowing what he meant by getting revenge for what she did, Shina just didn’t care, as far as she was concerned Xzavon was younger and weaker than her. She could take care of him anytime, so she simply smiled, but that wasn’t a happy smile it was more of a i don’t care what you try to do, come at me anything type of smile.

*Growl* *Growl*

Hearing that the wolves were close by, everyone shut up trying their hardest not to be heard, everyone had their hands on another persons mouth. 5 minutes passed by, and the youths came out of the cave with sweat covering them and their clothes were sticking to them also. Taking off his worn out shirt, “Phew, would have been dog chow if we hadn’t hidden. Thanks for the quick thinking Eric, we can just keep coming here over the next couple of days.” Eric feeling proud puffed out his chest, it felt good being told that he did something worthy.

In a tree not to far from where Xzavon and co. were, a dark figure appearing grinning at them. ‘Damn brats think they don’t have to run, think again you only got away for now wait until you go back we’ll see what happens then.’ The figure flashed, a leaf floated down from the tree and before it even hit the ground the figure was gone.

Sitting around the entrance to the cave, the youths were wondering what to do to pass the time. They still had roughly 4 hours left until they needed to go back, but suddenly Xzavon had an idea, “Why don’t we head back to camp, remember dad said 1 hour in his time isn’t the same as ours. So think about it, the time in his world moves way faster than ours, that means 5 hours must have passed for him and he’s waiting for us to go back.” The other 3 looked doubtful at Xzavon, although Jim did say that how would they look going back to camp before the 5 hours were up. They were already slacking off on their training and if they were to go back to soon, who knows what Jim would have them do. Thinking about it after a few minutes they still nodded their head, thus they went back to camp and didn’t encounter any trouble.

Making it back to camp by the same path they came, they encountered a problem. It wasn’t a simple problem, more like a big one because were the camp was supposed to be it wasn’t there at all. They were lost, and the ones who led them was none other than Jack, feeling arrows piercing his back he really didn’t want to turn around and see what kind of faces they were making at him. All he knew was that he went the right way, but evidence shows that he didn’t go the right way otherwise they would be back with Jim by now. Little did they know that Jim caught them slacking off and packed up everything and left, hiding while they were looking for camp.

But why would Jim care, they are slacking on their training so he’s going to make them train even if they don’t want to. He already thought of his master plan, while they are searching for him and the camp he will wait until nightfall. Once at night he will abduct them one by one and separate them making it so they can’t work together. He’ll also add weights to them that way even if they don’t run, it’ll still feel as if a mountain is crushing down on them. Yup, his master plan that he thought of, but he didn’t put much thought into it. Simply thought, ‘Separate them and make them find their way back, add weight and they’ll have to work twice as hard to get back, add dangers and it’ll show them not to slack off’.

When nightfall hit, Xzavon and co. were feeling tired after searching all over for Jim. At one point they thought he might have went home, but knowing him they easily dismissed that thought. Yawning Shina looked at the group, “Lets go to sleep here for tonight, tomorrow we can search again.” They nodded their heads and each picked a spot to lay down for the night, little did they know that a figure was watching them from not to far away happily grinning away. “AH!”, Someone screamed, waking up Xzavon who looked around and saw everyone was still asleep. When his eyes fell on the spot where Shina was he didn’t see her, one thought went through his mind and that was Revenge. Getting up he stealthily passed by Jack and Eric, looking behind the trees hoping to find Shina, but he was disappointed because she was nowhere to be found. Suddenly something grabbed him, he tried to fight it but the force was too strong and he fell unconscious. When he woke up the next morning he was laying on the floor in a suit full of weight, it wasn’t even flexible at all. His eyes stopped and spotted a note that was left on the ground, he grabbed it and read it carefully, ‘Boy you should know who this is, if you don’t then I feel sorry for you. You little brats thought I wouldn’t know you hid in a cave to get away from the wolves when i told you to run huh, well think of this as a reward for your laziness. You are someone in the forest, heck if I know where you are exactly but I surely don’t care. You have a week to make it back to camp, if you don’t then you have failed and won’t be able to go to a new world and will live the rest of your life here. Don’t worry about the weighted suit, it wont come off at all, just think of it as another gift, also don’t mind the other brats they are receiving the same treatment as you. Have fun, and don’t let the wild animals catch you.

~Best Damn Teacher/Father’

Chapter 5 – Bloodbore Continent

Showing up with Victoria, Jim gathers the kids up because it’s now time for them to go to a new world. This might be their first world, but at least it’s a little safer than the other worlds, because there they wouldn’t have anyone helping them. At least on the Bloodbore Continent they had one of the 11 lords helping them stay out of trouble, this eased his worries a lot. Victoria is simply happy, because she can finally leave this place now that her son is old enough. She has been stuck here for 15 years already and is really missing home, and some of the clothes too.

Opening a portal, the kids didn’t know what to say, were they suppose to step in it or was she just showing off her attack skills. Urging them forward they leapt into the portal, then in an instant they were popping out in the middle of nowhere.

Seeing nothing but sand around and no one else they were wondering where they were, but suddenly their parents said some strange spell and a door appeared out of the ground. Passing through the door it was as if they were in some holy temple, there were relics everywhere and statues of different people. “Whats this place?” They said in unison, glancing around.

“This is Len Temple, my lords. This is where you transfer and go to another world, just name it and you’ll be able to go there.” A mysterious voice sounded out and shortly after an old man in a black suit came out.

Jim showed a bright smile towards the man.“Victor! Haven’t seen you in a while, its been what 15 years man. You really haven’t aged at all.”

Seeing who it was coming into the temple Victor felt happy, but also slightly disappointed knowing they wouldn’t stay around for long, “Ah, Mr. and Mrs. Phenix I knew you would show up one of these days. Hardly anyone ever comes here anymore and no one ever leaves, such a pity i can’t really do my job. But what can I do for you today, going back to the Bloodbore Continent?”

“Sorry we have to keep our conversation short, maybe i’ll stop by in a few years after my son grows up more, but yes we will be going there.”

“Certianly my lords, right this way.” Victor said opening up a gate in the middle of the temple. Xzavon and co. stepped into the portal, but this didn’t feel like the last portal it felt like they were dreaming. After a few minutes passed by if felt like their consciousness was returning then they seen the end of the portal was a white light.

-Bloodbore Continent

Stepping out of the portal there are 6 people, but no one is really paying them attention because this isn’t something that they haven’t seen before. People come and go to new worlds all the time, but they didn’t know this was Xzavon’s first time coming to a new world. Not only him, his friends too they are all staring with amazement at the scene in front of their eyes.

This isn’t like the small village they grew up in, this is at least 5 times as big as that, not to mention there are houses everywhere. Tons of stores around and Inns, Merchants selling products in the street, people walking around with swords, even a few people in magician robes. To them it feels surreal, like something that came out of a fantasy; which might be true, carriages, horses, beautiful ladies all around you name it this place has it. They are getting excited at this new scene but it is just the tip of the iceberg because this isn’t even the whole continent, just a small town.

Victoria takes the kids to a tailor shop so they can get some new treads, that way when they go take the entrance exam they at least won’t look like poor commoners. Stepping foot into the shop the first thing that catches Xzavons eyes is this blue outfit; it may look normal but it’s not. Attached to it is a tight black shirt, short blue jacket with furs on the rim of it, and loose blue pants. Although he wants it, he doesn’t know how much it cost, he also doesn’t know if his mom has the funds to pay for it.

Seeing the young man looking at this exquisite outfit the owner puts on his best face to try to sell his product. It took him half a year to get the materials for this, and yet anyone who has seen it doesn’t have the funds to buy it, it would be a shame if his best product were to rot in this store. After taking a few steps forward and he gets a good look at Xzavon, he notices that his clothes aren’t even better than his worst clothes in the store so he decides to give him.

Seeing her son looking at the outfit Victoria urges him to get it, saying no matter how much it cost she’ll have enough for it. It wasn’t just Xzavon, the other kids also wanted something but they thought they wouldn’t have enough for it. Victoria sincerely urged them to get whatever they wanted, the cost would be covered by her, seeing her urging them they didn’t waste a second and immediately grabbed their outfits.

After the owner seeing the youths grabbing the outfits, not just any outfits but some of his best work, he felt a vein in his forehead. How could he not be angry, these commoners are coming in his store and messing with his work, but he wouldn’t dare say anything instead he can only hold it in. Or so he thought when he seen Xzavon grabbing the blue outfit, his best work is being touched by a merely poor commoner his anger exploded. “Put that down! I have put up with you peasants touching the others but you can’t touch that! Your whole life savings can’t even pay for 1% of what that cost, and you dare to touch it. Shoo, go away, you will disturb my other customers if you stay in here, they’ll say I serve commoners and even the nobles won’t dare to come into this place anymore.”

“Fuck you! Who says we can’t touch this or touch that, money is money if we have it we’ll spend it. Even my own mother doesn’t say such nonsense as you, wait until i pass the exam i’ll come back here and blow your damn shop up.” Shina’s voice exploded with anger, even the people who were passing by stopped and looked at the commotion. Seeing the clothes that Xzavon and them were wearing, they didn’t know what was happening but they did know that they couldn’t afford the clothes in the shop. I mean, if they couldn’t afford it how could commoners afford such clothes, just seeing them in the shop made them angry that they even wanted to step into the shop and kick them out themselves.

“Sir, no need to get worked up over some clothes. The clothes in this shop aren’t even the best out there, but they will do for them for now. We’ll just take these clothes and get out of this shop, don’t worry about future business because you will never have a future. Treating your customers like this, who cares if they are commoners or nobles, it’s all the same.” Vicitora said trying to hide her disgust at this man.

Glancing out the door the owner has seen the crowd and thought this was a good opportunity to show off. Telling all those out there that if you don’t have the money then don’t even step foot in this shop. Finally he looked at Victoria, even though she was a one of a kind beauty it was to say that she was poor. Such a waste he thought, if she were to grow up in a noble household then maybe he would give her face, but she was but a merely poor commoner. Making up his mind he decided, “Since you insist on buying these clothes, i’ll give you a discount and make it 5 gold and you can have the clothes. You should know that these originally cost 15 gold all together but for a commoner like you i felt pity. Oh not paying, fine then 1 gold, what still can’t pay then get the hell out!”

Victoria shrugged her shoulder, then pulled out a white coin and tossed it to the owner. “This should do, keep the change because i doubt you would even have enough to pay me back anyways. You should know who are the ones in control, ‘Phenix’ won’t take kindly to people like you, enjoy your last days sir.” She then gathered the kids and left the tailor shop leaving all the spectators and the owner stunned.

Not only did they not expect her to pull out a white coin but to say the ‘Phenix’ wouldn’t take kindly to this was even worse. Who are the ‘Phenix’ one of the 11 lords of Bloodbore, no one would just toss around a name like that, because if you did and later it was found out that you were a part of their sect that would mean the end of you. This caused ripples in the town, shortly after they left everyone passed around this news; that someone had used ‘Phenix’ name and that she was a beauty. They were trying to find out who this person was, even if she wasn’t one of them she has to have someone backing her up to use their name as easy as she did.

Meeting up with Jim in the Inn that he booked Xzavon and co. talked about what happened the whole day and night. Knowing that his wife caused a big commotion he knew that they were going to have to leave early in the morning or else they would have to reveal their identities. “Why did you use our name so easily, this is going to be trouble we just can’t have people come over here and shut him down. The other lords would say we were abusing our power, we would be the laughing-stock of town if they knew about this.”

Putting her slender hand on his shoulder she comforted him, “Don’t worry dear, Shina already said she’ll take care of it once she passed her exam. I we can just give her a temporary pass and ignore what she’ll do to that shop, besides i already gave him enough money to live happily even if his shop is destroyed.”

“Y-you didn’t, you gave him a white coin, where would he even spend that much money, let alone who would have enough money to give him change. He would have to travel to the capital just to even get change for a white coin, and everyone knows he has it so he might not even live to see tomorrow.”

Pursing her lips, “It was his fault, hmph! acting like we were some poor commoners. What right does he have, why should i care if he lives or dies tonight, all the better if he does.”

Giving his wife a kiss, “No wonder I fell in love with you, this is the Victoria I know. Too bad we won’t see the outcome of this.”

Early the next day, Xzavon and co. were on their way to Devertown City, the Capital of Flair Kingdom. As they were boarding their carriage they were stopped by the guards of the town, who surrounded them.

“Halt! You have used ‘Phenixs’ name and yet no one in this town can figure out who you are. Therefore we have come to the agreement that you aren’t related to them, you are herby sentenced to execution.”

Noticing the noise that was happening, everyone in the town was looking out their window or stopped their transactions to take a look at what was happening. Even the owner of the tailor shop stepped out to take a look at what was happening, when he noticed that it had something to do with Victoria he felt glad, ‘serves her right’ he thought.

Jim was fed up with this, “This is getting irritating, officer whats your name?”

The brown-skinned guard noticing that Jim was talking to him was terrified, instead he felt that Jim should at least know the name of his murder. “My name is Kalin, may I know the name of the man i’m going to kill and his wife?” Kalin said this is the nicest voice, he hated killing other people but knowing that they used ‘Phenix’ name and they weren’t even related irritated him so he felt he should at least kill them to calm himself down.

“What, you didn’t even inspect my name? You should at least do this before you make a scene.”

“Its not that, it’s just that I cant see anything.”

Jim’s face greatly changed, he know remembered that he always hid his name and told the kids to hide their info also or else some nasty bastards would try something against them if they found out who they were. “I see, in that case I’ll let you know who i am. This is really an honor for someone of your status, or a matter of everyone in the town.”

 

Name:	Jim Phenix
Alignment:	Good
Class:	???
Title:	[Headmaster] Blood of the Phenix ???
Level:	???

 

After he said that, the guards and everyone started seeing his info, one after another inspected him. Noticing who he was they immediately kneeled, and the people who were looking turned and went into their houses. “My lord, I didn’t think you would grace us ever. No one outside your clan or the 11 lords have seen you and lived to tale about it. Thats why we didn’t notice who you were, if you would just let redeem ourselves and spare our lives that would be our greatest honor.”

Jim didn’t even have a change of face after hearing these words, he just looked the same but after thinking about how they were planning on executing him he was about ready to kill them. As he was about to move Xzavon interrupted, “Just leave them alone, we are wasting time already, if this keeps up we’ll be late to the entrance exams. Besides i’m in a somewhat good mood, who knew that dad would be famous, i guess you talking about being a famous adventurer wasn’t just a lie.”

“Just kill the fuckers, especially that tailor shop owner I would do it personally but I don’t know if i can currently.” Shina’s voice sounded, and the ever so nervous guards looked at her, ‘Damn this kid does she not show us face even though we didn’t know who she was’ they thought. The owner of the shop was even more nervous, his legs were shaking thinking how could a he protect himself against a powerhouse like him, if only he didn’t make those comments yesterday then he could still live to see tomorrow.

A vein popped up on Jims forehead, not at Shina’s commoner but because his son didn’t realize that he wasn’t just a famous adventurer but also one of the 11 lords of this world. Oh well, he knew they were wasting time and relaxed thinking since their identities are already discovered they might as well teleport to Devertown. Turning towards his wife and scratching his head, “If you would Tori, just teleport us straight there.”

Nodding her head she opened a portal up and told them to go inside, after they entered they were instantly transported to the middle of another city.

-Captial of Falir Kingdom, Devertown City-

Smiling at the kids behind her she raised her hands, “Welcome to Devertown City, the capital of Flair Kingdom. At the building over there you will take your entrance exam, hopefully you get a good score and don’t put shame on us.”

Xzavon and Co. all looked at the surrounds, which were even more grander than the last town they were in. The population on the street was at least 50 times more than what they have seen in the last town, everything was wider and the shops were so dazzling. Taking a look at the school building that more looked like a castle they were stunned, jaws dropping thinking this is the school they were going to attend. Little did they know that was only one of the 5 buildings Saint Hail Academy owned, and each one got even better than the last.
