Chapter 4 - The Grey Flame Academy.2

[The learners are heading towards the swordsmanship class which and upon arrival the see Professor Necro setting up the gear and other essentials for the class]

"Professor Necro.....we're here for the class!"

^An elf learner speaks out

"Ohh kids welcome to your first day in swordsmanship class and how's is your first day in the academy going so far "

^Professor Necro asked

"It's doing great professor we're really learning a lot from every professor here"

^A learner replies

"Good but...what do you mean your learning a lot when it's your first day and you already one class in,so far I don't see any difference from yesterday of the announcement and today me standing near you...hmmm?, can you answer that question for me."

^Professor Necro asks

"Ahh?...well professor I was--.....?"

^the learner is left speechless

[Dead silence from the professor and the learners as the professor just looks at them and is waiting for an answer]

...wind blowing....

"Look kids that question was a rhetorical question and it seems it left some of you wanting to but some afraid of some big punishment,no the no such. What I was trying to accomplish with my question is to see how any of you feel after being called out just answering anything being asked by an adult. Look I'm not saying disrespect anyone "no" what. Saying is that answer what you know and ask questions on what you don't,clear "

^Professor Necro speaks

(The learners agreed)

Now let's get this class started,every assignment is a practical or a duel to determine the class rankings there's a total of 15 learners here and a total of 200 learners in the entire of the this academy meaning so of you might not reach the top 100,some not top 10 and some not even reach the pinnacle of top 1. Here's what's going on maybe some teachers won't tell you but my class is longer so I have enough time to tell and teach you. But here in this academy the is a rank system,that's why we said yesterday that we only care about your rank not your status cause if your rank 50 for example and want to challenge a rank 10 that's impossible cause that person has more power output than you the rank 50, and as you progress,get high marks, achieve something better in practical and duels you might progress in the academy so I urge you to take everything seriously cause if not you might graduate without any merit or something to help you outside the walls or territory of your respected kingdoms so take everything serious.

^Professor Necro speaks

Now let's get this over with I'm tired of talking so we are gonna conduct a small duel randomly so,I'm gonna pick 4 students and those students will pick who they want to fight then we'll be moving to teaching..yeah! Okay.

^Professor Necro speaks

[The picks randomly 4 students and those pick random learners they wanna fight, and one of the picked learners picks Sky as his opponent]

"Okay now that the kids picked let's all watch and maybe we can learn something "

^Professor Necro speaks

[The learners duel eachother out, causing a interested learning view for the learners watching and some taking notes to use for practice,while observe to know they're opponent for when they can fight what to do, while the matches end the remaining match of Sky is starting]

"Okay not gonna lie the last three matches where horrible for me you guys don't know anything about swordsmanship and have no real experience in battle and the sword but is fine I understand, we'll move from that and let's watch the last match of today hopefully it's a little entertaining"

^Professor Necro speaks

(Sky and the learner prepare for their duel....it begins)

[The match starts off with a few boring swings and parries here and there making a stalemate in the start...but as the two duel the learner starts throwing heavy blows Sky's way and the match begins to entertain a little,Sky unable to block some of them gets hit in some key area,as the professor watches he sees that Sky is unable to continue as he's about to speak....the sky starts forming dark clouds...the sky now rumbling and blue lightning flowing through the clouds,skys eyes turn blue and it seems he's lost consciousness while the battle the learner in a duel those key are he attacked took a heavy blow and made sky unconscious...the teacher sees this and tell the learners to back up a bit as this might become a battle ground instead of a duel]

"But professor instead of backing up why don't you stop the fight before someone gets hurt"

^A random learner speaks

"No if we stop the fight now you won't be able to witness what it truly means to fight for survival, like I said your here to become number 1 you can't be number 1 if you hesitate to destroy your opponent and besides we have high rank healers so it's fine"

^Professor Necro speaks

[ As the fight is in the mist everything,the learner feels as this is getting serious and he fills himself with a small amount of protection aura that it's still rank I,while he's doing that Sky is starting to move towards the learner at full speed, unleashing the multiple strikes and heavy coordinated strikes the rank I protection can't keep up the strikes,the learner tries to push sky back but only momentarily delayed the strikes,he then takes the opportunity and paces towards sky with a blow in mind to finally finish the duel. As the kids paces towards sky,sky raises his sword towards the sky and clouds,then lightning strikes the sword now the sword filled with lightning aura sky rushes the learner as well and as the two meet to clash both of them does a strike, in the end the lightning aura swords strike the learner first then the sword of the learner, the learner coughed out blood, same thing for Sky as he also coughs up blood as this is his first time doing unleashing that much power. Both learners fall down...the professor rushes towards them and calls up the healers of the academy. The healers take the learners to the infirmary for healing. The learners shocked and lost for words look at the professor for an answer and possibly a winner in the duel, the professor the still in awe on what he witnessed, feels the gaze of his learners and turns serious.]

"*Ahem*....Ohh yeah I forgot about the class the winner is most likely that boy in the silver and blue hair, cause he did a rank III attack that in itself needs applause for, but yes that was the end of the duel. Let's get back to learning let's head to class and do some practical learning....(Damn that was good fight)"

^Professor Necro speaks

[ In the infirmary]

(sky finally opens he's eyes and sees Ceilen watching him)

"Ohh! Your finally awake I heard the news, are you okay..."

^Ceilen speaks

"*Cough*...yeah I'm still having a headache but it's fine, I think I'll need to rest a bit. But wait why are you here and how did you get here."

^Sky speaks

"What do you mean why in here, I came here as soon I heard that you were the infirmary, and as to how don't worry just happy I'm here rather than the other branch family members"

^Ceilen speaks

[ As the are the 5 families in the kingdom the 4 branch families and the 1 main family the competition for the throne is still up for grabs and the only one that doesn't want apart of the war for the throne is Ceilen as she feels this is a waste of time and is always gonna lead to bloodshed within the families so it's better to watch as the other kids fight it out and see who is gonna be the winner]

"Look Sky I don't know what made you use full power at a duel but you have to learn to restrain yourself other you won't be able to survive till graduation"

^Ceilen speaks

"You right but I don't know what came of me I was dueling with this kid then he hit one of my vital points then all of a sudden I'm feeling a surge of power on my body then next thing I'm in the infirmary,what a first day this has been. But wait ain't you miss class right now?"

^Sky speaks and asks

"Well when I heard the news I rushed here so I think the teacher will understand it's no biggy"

^Ceilen speaks

"Ceilen don't be skipping class or I'll tell your mother....!"

^Sky speaks

"What why!!, I came here cause I was worried but your threatening to tell mom, so cruel."

^Ceilen speaks

(The nurse steps in to see the learners)

Ohh your awake excellent, then I can give you a brief on your check up, you where in a self-conscious state so most of the body was moving on its self so your lucky we brought you here just in time, and for what's going on your brain immediately did a rank III swordman movement while your heart did a rank II spell which created that small effect lightning aura sword, luckily it was only rank III and professor Necro was the to watch what happened,if it wasn't for him you could have destroyed your brain.

(Sky still in a little bit of shock)

"So is the kid I was in a duel okay"

^Sky speaks

"Him yes his fine we called in a rank VIII healer to help and he just put everything back together, cause you did cut the boys stomach and arm so we needed so help"

^Nurse speaks

"Wait what!!!??....arm, stomach,what do you mean did he survive"

^Sky speaks

"Yes he did he's in intensive care recieving treatment so he'll be fine in a month"

^Nurse speaks

"Okay I'll check on him when I'm fine"

^Sky speaks

"Okay than, have a good recovery and I'll check on you tomorrow and miss Ceilen please go back to your class"

^Nurse speaks

"Okay nurse I'll say goodbye then leave. Look Sky have a good recovery I'll check on you tomorrow okay"

^Ceilen says goodbye then leaves

(Left with his inner thoughts he start feeling anxious thinking what if the kid might not recover from the duel,what if he's academic learning is over before it even starts.....)

[Then Professor Necro walks in....]

Hey kid how you feeling I came from the other learner you fought and he's looking rough,but on the plus side you won't the duel. That's good...(Confused) You don't look happy at your win...?

^Professor Necro speaks

I'm sorry professor just I'm anxious about the student of him not being able to continue his learning and must recover from his injuries and that alo---ne....(Interrupted)

Hahahaha!!!....your bummed about that,listen kid this is how this academy works, heck do you know this kid named Ceilen, she put 10 learners alone in the infirmary today and most need intensive care,but I heard from the teachers that she doesn't care and goes about her day like it's nothing

^Professor speaks

(Sky shocked about the news)

Serious she did that

^Sky speaks

Yeah and I wanted to bring her to my class so bad after hearing that, that I almost did want to check on you and go straight to her,but the teacher said no and I guess I'm stuck with you....

^Professor speaks

But what I'm trying to say kid is this is how you rank up in this academy,this is how establish your power and become powerful enough to rule a kingdom, so don't worry about the small stuff focus on the recovery and I'll see you in class, cause now since you showed your power everyone is doing the same and when that happens you'll be the one intensive care so, you better get your act together,see you kid

^Professor Necro speaks

(Professor leaves and Sky is left thinking)

So she put 10 learners in the infirmary and still has the face of a baby, but at least I know I can go all out,now the only goal is rank 1 the academy

^Sky speaks

[With the day ending some learners found a place in the academy,some struggling and some wanting to survive. But all in all this is the beginning of the story of the continent that will reshaped and the will only be one person at the pinnacle of power and take the throne of the last sigil and claim it]
