I never felt better.
It was like all my dreams were rushing through me. I was finally not a nobody anymore but a warrior who possesses incomprehensible strength. These bastards killed Macron, my friend, my family, my brother.
Surely the best course of action is to kill them off just like how they killed macron. They shall face the consequences of death in the face of the epitome of life.
"Now then, let's fight".
"ARCANE TECHNIQUE:FLAME WALL".
oh shit I am a dumbass.
I don't know any arcane technique let alone beat people who has mastered their arcane technique.
All I have is my passive technique which doesn't allow for me to die.
I need to think.
Macron cannot be saved but Zico can. Orion gave me this power to save Zico from death. That has to be my main objective. Killing these bastards can come later but for now,Zico is top priority.
If I can dash through the flame and pick up Zico body and served head, I can take cover in the forest.
I put all my strength into my legs as a last ditch effort,running through the fire burnt my skin into my flesh but I can manage,I would take any amount of pain to save Zico's life because at the end of the day I can't let the 2 closest people in my life die because of my incompetence.
Exerting this much energy is putting a toll on my body, my world was fading into complete darkness. Have I failed again? Have I failed to save another one of my friends?
No, I am not giving up, not when I have come this far in my life.
"Fuck this".
I need to find something sharp but I can't find anything.Shit. Shit. SHIT!
This stick will have to do
*thwack*
Please wake up you shit bag.If you don't I won't every forgive you.I placed his head near his neck and poured my blood in his mouth.
Zico if you don't wake up, I will kill you.
"What's up asshole". Said zico in an extremely weak voice."Thanks for saving my life".
"Don't thank me just yet, we are still not safe, keep quiet for the time being".
Maybe I was being anxious but I could here murmurs coming from the forest, could they have found us? Even so we must keep a low profile in case they find us.
Let me take a look just around the corner.
*snap*
Shit they found us,
"SEIZE THEM".
Fuck me. Zico is in no condition to run, he is barely conscious.
"Zico it's okay everything will be okay, I will make a run for it and carry you, I won't let you die".
I got chopped on the back of my neck. Such power, did one of the knights sneak up on me? That can't be it.
Crap I am passing out, I will be fine but Zico, I am not sure if he will be okay.
I was once again unable to protect my friends and now I will pay the price.
"~~~~~~".
All I can hear is mumbling. I need to try and make out a voice
"No way these street urchins are strong".
A girls voice? I still can't make out what she is saying.
"Surely ursa's prophecy is wrong".
Ursa's prophecy? The women who can see into the future? She has prevented 4 of humanity's worst catastrophes with some being able to destroy the earth itself.
"Let go of me you asshole". Said zico
Zico is fine, that's good , I guess I was worried for nothing. I can finally rest.
My vision is blurry but I am finally regaining consciousness. Where am I. The air around me was cold and damp, the stone on the wall was symmetrical. Why does this look familiar, oh yeah
"Macron ,Sepsis and Zico, if you do 1 more crime I will have to report you to the royal knights and they will send you here. This is an execution chamber where you will be killed, now do you understand the severity of this situation "?
"Yes village chief we won't do it again".
"Honestly I don't get why you kids will throw your life away with which petty theft".
this is an execution chamber, it is similar to the painting the chief showed us . Ah shit my neck is still in pain from that girl. I really need to stretch.
What's this? Chains around my hand?
No matter how hard I try to free myself I just can't get it off.
"LET GO OF ME".
"Hush hush".
It was the girl that had knocked me out. She cant be much older than me but yet, she looked so mature.
Her hair was in a gorgeous shade of red, her hazel eyes was piercing right through me not to mention she had curves in all the right places.
"You and your friend possess an extraordinary power, the power of Orion and we would like to help you control it",
"Don't you mean you would like to control it, I know the things you royals do and all you royals are is power hungry savages that would do anything for more power, aren't I right, Adela princess of Albion".
"This isn't about us, other races will want your power for themselves, ever since Orion's death the balance of power between humans and the other races has shifted and since you guys are his successors the balance has stabilised. If you guys don't know how to control your power and these beasts come to fight you, your defeat will be inevitable, you understand"?
I see now. Now that Orion legendary power is back all the other races want to take control of it. Me being an ally to the humans significantly helps them out.
"So how will I master my powers".
"You will go to Albion school of magic".
"School? I don't feel like going school, it's the same boring teachers and boring work in the same boring class".
"You know what,I will go school with you and if it is boring, you will never have to go again, how does that sound".
"It's a deal".
"Alright then let's go".
*whoosh*
Holy shit, she can teleport. I know she is royal and all but that is such a deadly ability to have in your locker.
"Wow that takes a lot of mana, you ready for your first day of school"?
It was huge,the gates, the building.
It was everything I ever imagined from a magic school.
"Why are you so excited I thought you didn't want to go school". Said Adela.
"It different that's all".
"Where is zico anyway".
"He is getting trained by one of the strongest executioners".
"And I have to attend boring school".
"Who's the new kid". Said a voice
"I heared he is living in the kings castle".
"What is a rodent like him doing here anyway".
"I know why don't we kill him in training".
"Grab a sword".
"Why".
"We have to warm up for today training". Said Adela.
"Adela want to spar with me"? Said a boy.
"Yeah sure".
"Just train by yourself okay sepsis?"
"Sepsis what kind of name is that". Said another voice,
"He can't even swing a sword properly look at him struggle".
"You want to spar sepsis"?
"And you are"?
"Royal knight son Grendel".
"Sure".
"Ohh he is going to get killed".
"Nobody has ever beaten Grendel in a fight".
"Let's start Grendel".
"I would like to say you can use arcane".
"Is that fine".
"You sure"?
"Yeah why not I doubt you can use it anyway".
"Arcane ignis uproar".
"Now my sword is coated in flame".
He closed the gap so quick and slashed me.
What confused me is why wasn't my wounds healing.
"What is going on there". Said Adela.
"We can carry this spar on other time I just need to take care of something".
"On your knees so quick sepsis"?
He kicked me on the face making me cough blood,
"Stand up sepsis."
I was just constantly getting kicked on the floor.
"NOW I AM GOING TO END THIS".
"WITH A DIRECT HIT TO THE HEART".
"DIE SPEPSIS".
"Arcane spirit vita gladius first for-.
It didn't cast.
Does it remove all ability of using arcane after you get hit?
"Arcane lux flash".
"Adela".
"You royal bastard".
He collapsed onto the floor.
"Arcane lux sanitatem".
My wombs healed.
And so did the ability to not use arcane.
"HOW DARE YOU HURT GANDEL".
"FACE THE WRATH OF URES".
a sneak attack from behind.
He is trying to kill her.
I need to do something
"Arcane apparition mortem orb".
"What is this power".
"Sup guys I am back".
"Hey zico".
"Wow they really did a number on you".
"How did you let yourself get defeated so easily".
"Hmm". Said a voice
"Adela, power level 1600".
"Sepsis, power level 3100".
"Zico power level 4500".
"Such interesting students I have this year".
"Sepsis surely you can use some moves".
"Arcane spirit vita gladius, first form vita gladius".
"Wow what a sword".
"Gold and everything".
"Hmm what's this," said the voice "his power level increased from 3100 to 4200".
"Surely I am reading this wrong".
"Can the 3 new students please step up".
"That's us guys". Said Adela
"Put your hands on this orb and pour your arcane power inside".
Adela, power level 3900".
"She wasn't even going all out then",
"Sepsis put your hand on this orb".
"Sepsis power level 4200".
"Impossible he had a higher power level than gandel".
"Zico put your hand on this orb".
"Power level 5200".
"It appears he wasn't going all out either".
"Last time there was a power level that high in this school was Orion".
"What is up with this anyway". Said zico.
"Just seeing what classes you will be assigned to".
"Due to your abnormaly high power level, you will all be in the top group".
"Power level what's that"?
"It is a way to measure your strength into 3 parts, strength,magic power, output".
"What's your power level sir"?
"Sir Bolton"
"It is 28000",
Wow he is strong.
"Warmup is done make your way into class".
"No can do sir, I have training",
"Alright then".
it's not fair,
He gets to go with this executioner person and I can't.
Why do I come here anyway.
*during class*
"Good evening students I am grand master Blythe".
"I will be teaching you how to draw out your magic".
"Get into groups of 2".
"Princess Adela want to be with me?"
'No me".
Wow she is popular
There is a whole group of guys wanting to be in her group.
"Sorry guys I already have a partner".
Who could it be
"Sepsis".
Ah
I did not expect that
"Lucky bastard".
"Do anything to her and I will kill you".
"I want you to guide your partner arcane flow and channel it in front of them".
"You will need to find their heart beat and use their blood flow to control the arcane moving from their body".
"Do me first".
"Alright".
*squish*
She is starting to get flustered.
Her face is going red.
Must be the blood.
I knew I could get it worki-.
"YOU CREEEEEEEP"!
She blasted me into the sky
Yay I got it to work.
I crashed right back down.
"My turn next".
"You creeper". Said Adela
"You do it like this".
"You find their heart beat".
"And I can now pull the arcane energy outside of you into a orb".
"You are immortal and unlike zico power to destroy, you have the power to create".
"So now".
She sliced her hand and her arm.
"Look I am all healed up".
Wow.
She is amazing.
"So can you do the same"?
"Yes" she said.
"What does your orb do"? I asked in curiosity.
"It can exterminate all evil".
"It is pretty useless now as the devil race has been eliminated".
"Can you summon multiple swords or just one"? She asked
"I can only do 1". "And it doesn't have any spells or something".
"Maybe you need to go to Albion archive".
"There is a lot of scrolls that can help you".
"It is at the castle if you want to learn".
"Help me please". I asked
"Sure".
"To Albion archives it is".
