When he entered the chamber, he walked straight to a panel that was in the centre of the room. On this panel, provisions had been made for the host to input his cultivation level, the difficulty of the simulation, and the race of the opponent.
Mane added his cultivation level to the panel. Per the instructions of the nine, he chose highest level of difficulty. Upon opening the race option, Mane saw a long list of names, many of which he did not recognise. Mane had never fought a human before. He was sure that the simulation would require him to kill his opponent. He shuddered at the thought. He was not ready for that yet, that much he knew. He was about to select the beast race, when the 1st interrupted him.
"Choose the celestial race boy." Mane did not know what that race was but, from their name he could tell they were strong.
"I don't think it's time yet. Let him start with the beast race. When he gets accustomed to the kil
Once again, Mane appeared in a familiar field of green. This time he did not look around much, just staring at his opponents. The alpha growled, clearly trying to instill fear into its prey, but it soon realised its fear skill did not work. It bent its limbs, preparing to attack.Mane looked at the wolf that was preparing to pounce. He gathered strength in his legs and sprinted forward with great speed, stunning the attacking alpha. Mane did this to catch the creature off guard. As a simple minded beast, the attacking wolf expected its target to evade, not attack, hence it was momentarily stunned. When Mane was within a distance of 2 metres away from the alpha, he deftly changed his direction, aiming for the wolf at his left. The wolf was dazed. It was not expecting this human to ignore its boss and attack it.Mane quickly reached the wolf, which had already recovered from its initial surprise. It pounced at Mane, swinging its paw at the blond
Abelard had been researching on the blond boy for some days now. This boy, whom he recently found out was called Mane, was more impressive than he thought. It took some time, but he finally understood what the boy had done during their last class. This was the first time since Abelard was born, that he had met someone his age who could compete with him on an intellectual level. Well, calling it a competition would be a bit of an exaggeration. It was pretty clear to the Prince, that the blue eyed boy was better than him. They were not on the same level. He was far from the being the blond boy's match. This left him depressed. He could accept it if the boy was a bit smarter than him. But, looking at how much time it took him to understand what the boy had done, he had no choice but to admit defeat. It was pretty obvious to Abelard that the handsome boy developed that strategy in class. It was in no way pre-planned. He sighed in frustration when he realised this.So, he
Four years later, on a bright Saturday morning._________________________________________The excited chatter of several immature voices could be heard. Several carriages were roaming the Wielding Academy campus, as young six year olds excitedly rushed into their dorms to unpack their things. Most of these children seemed to know each other even before arriving at the academy. They were happily discussing what their lives would be like from now onwards.“I really wish that I would be placed in the same room as the Prince.” A little black haired boy spoke with stars glittering in his eye
“HAHAHAHAHA” In a luxurious carriage nearby, far away from prying eyes, but close enough to listen to every word that was said, a teasing laughter rang out. Inside the luxurious carriage sat five people- an older man and four ten year olds. The laughter came from the older man.“Mr. Aikens sir, how long do you intend to laugh?” A blond hair boy with beautiful blue eyes asked the older man with a small smile on his face. Seated next to him was the laughing elder, and a brown haired boy with brown eyes, who had a bitter smile on his cute face. The brown haired boy was none other than Abelard and the blond haired kid was Mane. They had come out of their rooms to meet Abelard’s little sister who had enrolled this year. They had barely left their room when they heard their mate speak of them in a gr
Mane and the others were disgusted by what they were witnessing in the carriage. They knew of Aegeus. Generally, a character like him whose family only owned an earldom in the kingdom of Neces, would warrant no attention from them. Abelard was a prince of an empire, one that the kingdom of Neces paid tribute to. The twins had a grand duke of an empire as a father. As for Mane, the others were not sure of his background, but they knew it completely trumped theirs. So naturally, they would have disregarded such a minor character. But this arrogant kid was different.On his own he was not an important character, but he had a brother that was. His brother, Frederick Fulbright, was a ninth year student and one of the top talents of the academy. His brother, just like the twins and Abelard, had reached the E- grade (second level
“You dare ignore me!” An angry bellow interrupted the kind moment Abelard was having with his lowerclassmen. Aegeus had finally given into his rage when he realised that the silver wolves thought nothing of him. He was a proud person. And he had been used to ignoring others and not the other way around. Because of the team’s reputation, he had been trying to garner their attention with some subtle hints, including loudly clearing his throat. After all, in his books, he was being courteous by giving them such a huge amount of face.Unfortunately, all his efforts yielded nothing. The group continued to ignore him, as though he and his entourage were invisible. Worst of all, the onlookers were snickering in contempt and joy, when many of them realised that he was still being ignored, despite his efforts. For
“AAHHH!”Accompanying the deafening sound of a small object ramming into a building, was the painful scream of a minor.Looking at the figure who was embedded in the wall of the building, with his mouth foaming, all those watching grew terrified. How was that possible?! How could a simple flick, knock someone flying for dozens of meters. It was obvious to all that Aegeus was knocked unconscious. No one could possibly endure that much pain. The fascinating thing was that the other members of the Silver Wolves had not interfered during the entire process, as though they already knew how things were going to turn out.
“He’s going to be fine. He just needs to stay here for a couple of weeks that’s all.” A brown haired teenager had his back to the physician who was speaking. All his attention was given to the unconscious young lad soaking in a shallow spring. The physician did not seem to mind the teen’s attitude. He informed him to let him know if there was anything he needed and exited the room.Frederick was still gazing upon his little brother’s broken body. From the reports of his brother’s friends, he knew how his upbeat little brother got into his current situation. It was always an unwise decision to provoke a person stronger than you, no matter your background. One can only use their background to suppress a stronger opponent when you are confident you have adequate protection. Luckily for his brother, an injury that would normally take over a year to heal would be completely dealt with in less than a mont
