Fuck... fuck... fuck"
He spat, while passing through the wooden door. Violet, in purple nightgown, the one she always use, can't help but stand. A warm food, sitting on top of the dining table, ready to be consumed.
"Hey.... hey.... what happened dear"
Violet, asking with concern. Altaris is kind of guy who able to control emotion perfectly, sometimes to terrifying degree.
And the fact that he lost control of it.
"I met the face"
"Which one ?"
"The 7th, Sloth, he is the one guarding the place"
"oh..... is he.... handsome ?"
Ask Violet jokingly, testing the waters
"You serious ?"
"Hehe.... joking, my dear joking.... your mood seams heavy, so i'm lightening it up a bit, Better ?"
"Love.... when you become so sweet"
"You can call me wifey"
"Ah... that call... later i suppose"
"Stingy, anyway... come come, dear. You can tell me everything "
"I suppose you're my queen"
He sigh while loosing his coat, and sit.
After that Altaris manage to recite the whole meeting. To a tea. He describe everything, the place, the talk, the agreement, all of it. He needed to tell someone, letting it out of his mind.
"Well.... it's not that bad"
She said while holding his palm
"Not that bad ? he's denying me of my needs, Violet, humans are pest, parasite, gnawing, and painting this world with their filth. They killed an entire race just to satisfy their selfish faith and greed. And you think giving them mercy is not a bad thing ?"
His anger, suddenly rising. The rage he's holding, spilled, broking the dam that he ,with effort, constantly maintained.
And Violet as always, knew what sentence she need to pull
"Pride my love, is their greatest sin. Mercy doesn't mean safety. Another option is available my prince. You can enslave them, denying them of basic needs. you can mark their baby, use their elderly"
"Slavery will be their greatest torment"
Finally, Violet conclude her speech. Her head, full of crazy idea. She is a women devoted to his man, and if his man full of anger, it's her job to sooth it.
And it seems that her words, was working as intended
Altaris, lowering his stiffed shoulder, relax by the second. His hand, hugging her face, with enviable gentleness.
"You have no have idea how lucky i am to have you, my Love"
"Ahh.... Altaris. Come, eat. You need rest, we need rest. Today is a good thing dear, you finally found the key"
"Thank you, Thank you, Violet, I love you"
And that, conclude their talk with kiss. After eating, they eventually rest, hugging in each other embrace
Until the morning star, sign of the new day beginning
---------------
Altaris hand, tugged under his coat, his gait proper. The wind howling pass him, making it flutter.
Today, is a good day for battle
Last night, he let out his anger, leaving a lingering feeling that even, he, cannot swat with ease
So today
"I need to punch something"
he thought, inwardly
And, lucky for him, today lesson is combat magic, one of the most popular
Academy, naturally, have a lot to teach. From basic needs, arranging to all kinds of field of studies
To support the students, and to help them achieve their dreams
Some of them are good, some of them useless
It depends entirely on the student goal
One of them, is Combat magic. A lesson, who, main purpose is to help the student to integrate magic into their way of fighting.
Pretty simple and straight forward
They refrain to teach simple combat skills. Cause, for most of the student to join the academy, are required to be able of combat. Matter of fact, it's one of the admission requirement for commoner.
They need, at the very least, the same level as soldier.
And for nobles, they usually trained before, to gain standing and to survive in the sea of recruits
Well, to be followed, power is needed after all
That's why, the objective of the lesson itself, is to integrate, to connect style, and support it with magic, doubling the user destruction capacities
To maximize the usage of magic, not just for basic needs, but also become the power of the country
Hearing the next schedule from Violet, his ever diligent secretary, can't help but make him grin
"Good, i can let out some steam"
He thought, while expanding his grin
"And i know just where to put my fist"
Determined, he stroll, encouraging Violet to haste. He pass the gate, quickly pass to pass through the lobby or everything. Straight into the metal like space.
His eyes scanning, looking for victims, only to stop right at Frederick.
Then he smile ear to ear.
"Ahh my sweet little punching bag is here"
He murmured slowly. Looking at frederick like seeing a steak. Juicy and ready to eat. Honestly, he got no beef with the guy. He just need an outlet, place to smash and rage.
And what's better to smash, then your ever talking friend
"Recruits"
The instructor shout, voice reverberate through the walls, prompting all heads to turn.
Completely stopped Altaris imagination.
Instructor Lance, the one to teach them about clash, is a being of pure muscle and wildness, stand at exactly 197 cm tall, his physics almost as same as his brother, if not better.
Unlike his brother Arthur, who, serve as general in army. He got no discipline, just do what his wish. Strong yes, but what used a weapon if it can't follow instruction.
So the kingdom cast him to the Academy
What a good idea, to use a brute as media to teach
So he stand here, eyes hungry, waiting for battle to unfold between recruits.
Just so he can punish for insubordination if appear
A psycho in a form of teacher
What can be more wrong
"Last weak, we learn about basic combat usage of magic. I give you instruction, i give you example, and i give you time to integrate. Now, what you need to achieve, is usage. And what's best then to let you try it out yourself... so today"
He paused, giving a sense of anticipation for unknown reason
"You will paired, and fight, if possible, to the death, Now go"
"Find your enemy and fight for glory"
