LUCAS WYKES
My first official day in Xyrus academy is pretty fun so far if I do say so myself.
'Oh I cant wait to meet Arthur.' As for Jamie's curiosity of how I became a tri-elemental mage I simply told him that I had always been one but chose to keep it a secret because I thought that my fire spells where more than in enough to deal with my opponents.
'He believed me because it benefited house Wykes that I was a tri-elemental mage.' I am not smart or anything but, I am good at striking at people's interest's so I should not worry about house Wykes being suspicious of me because at the ned of the day I am their heir.
"Lucas our next class should be fun." Jamie said grinning. Our first class was mana utilisation, which was so boring I could not believe we spent the whole hour meditating and creating basic constructs using our elemental effinities.
'Although it is a useful skill to learn'
We entered the specious classroom field with nobles who probably had someone to wipe their asses from a young age. I watched them all flexing their staffs as if it where, like the designer clothes of earth. Sighing I took my seat at the second row of the class.
"This is quite the gathering isn't cousin?"
I scanned the classroom field with kids who didn't know the meaning of hard work. He was right it seemed like a gathering of young nobles from all over Dicathen. Since I had obtained all of Lucas's memories I knew about the different noble families of the 3 kingdoms.
"Hey Lucas look at that elf over there!" Jamie whispered while pointing at a green-headed elf my eyes widened.
'Could he be related to that "guy".'
"Do you think his a Chaffer?" I asked pointing at the green-head boy who looked to be the same age as me. Before Jamie could answer though the boy whipped his head, to stare directly at me. I felt a slight shiver run up my spine I had not met anyone with such good senses even back on earth.
"Definitely a Chaffer" I muttered allowed as the boy approached to seat on the table right next me. "Those green eyes, and those arrogant smirks you have on your faces". He paused for a moment as if organising his thoughts. "You lads are from the Wykes family aren't you."
"!!And you are!!". Jamie and both asked at the same time. "I am Arron Chaffer the pleasure is all yours!." How arrogant but it makes sense his a noble after all and his from one of the strongest house in the elven kingdom Elenoire. But its good to be friendly to important people I reached out my hand in for a hand shake. "I am Lucas Wykes and this is my cousin Jamie Wykes its nice to meet you, my uncle has told me a lot about Your family." He respectfully accepted the gesture and shook my hand.
The 3 of us talked while waiting for class start. It turns out that Arron wasn't bad for someone his age he was at the dark orange stage which would be consinderd to be really good for a 14 year old. 'But a retainer would turn him into mince-meat'. I thought suddenly feeling bitter as I cast barrage of golden flames at my target I then swap to lightning firing 3 small lightning spears in succession.
Our task is simple realy cast your best spells at a target until you feel "satisfied".
'I cant believe thats what our old cunt of a teacher said.'
I had not thought much about the Scythes and their retainers, because at the end of the day I could beat them once I reached the integrate stage. Once I leave this bloody-damn school I can get stronger training in the beast glades. My plans are simple go to the beast glades, hunt down S class beasts and find treasures lelf behind by the Djin and possibly the Wraiths.
'I don't need to be trained by some Asuran cunts who will be constantly calling me a "lesser" while crippling my understanding of aether'. I thought in disgust which showed in my magic, as I combined fire, wind and lighting to create a spear that completely destroyed my target.
"Ah! Mr Wykes you don't disappoint!." My professor said with glee I ignore him I decide to watch Jamie as he destroys his own target with crimson flames. I also cach Arron at the corner of my slicing his, target to pieces with windblade.
'These lads are really good if I do say so myself'. We leave our classroom after the "lesson" I one could call shooting fire balls at a target a lesson. But I reckon our professor was taking note of our casting speed and of our mana levels.
"My next class is this way, what about you two?" Arron asked. "I have a spell formation class." Jamie replies combing his short black hair with his hand.
"It seems the 3 greatest noble students of Xyrus academy are going their separate ways.. how sad!." I say in a poetic manner. All 3 of us chuckle at this and go to our respective location within Xyrus academy.
'Hand to hand combat club ha!! how interesting'
Well that's what I though at first but this place is field with nothing but gym bro augmenters. 'Well I was a gym bro myself back on earth'
But seeing as I have no actual choice because my body does not have any muscle definition whatso-ever I decide to do the basic drills such as push ups, squats, pull-ups and to my surprise there was even a punching bag . As I was trying to do pull-ups with my nudle arms I saw it a feat so imposible for anyone my age that it caused me to fall to the ground
I rose, jaw sleck and my grey training gear slitly dirty from falling, on the ground but I didn't give shit because I could not stop staring at the thing in front of me.
"What the actual fuck!" I exclaimed shocked by Theodore's strength he was bench pressing at least 100kg. ' And his supposed to be 15 that!... bullshit even back on earth I only benched 90kg its not fair!! '
His dad was definitely the hulk. I wasn't the only one watching this master class in physical strength. After Theo was done showing off, all the students who were, watching approached him, started bombarding him with praise.
"Man Theo you must be popular with the ladies".
"Yo, Theo tell us your program man."
"Theo tell us.. what elixir you're on man!."
I ignored their glaze and stepped forward without hesitation while caching a whiff of the suffocating smell of sweaty gym bro augmenters. Making my way trpugh the testosterone field crowd I looked at Theodore our eyes met and I opened my mouth.
'How?" I asked trough greeted teeth but the boy who looked like a fully grown man simply tilted his big head. "How are you so damn strong?" I spet.
He simply rose from the bench press and leisurely wiped his sweaty face then he spoke his answer making my blood boil. "Genetics and hard work". I new what he was going to say but I still asked like an idiot.
'Its the same in this world as well ha, those who were gifted from birth are still.' I shook the negitive thought away. I gave Theo respectfull nod and walked away. I went to my dorm room which I shared with Jamie. Once there I took a shower and prepared for my next class.
'Team fighting mechanics ha'. I sighed in defeat I'm not really a team player. I was part of a sport in which, victory and defeat where up to me alone.
"How was your club Lucas? I heard that place is filled with augmenters like myself its not a fun place for conjurer... like you." Arron said while chewing on some meat. "Gross Arron did your lord father not teach you any etiquette?" Jamie said glaring at the green-haired elf. But I simply snorted.
"Leave him alone Jamie all the old nobles who taught us etiquette, drink far to much wine, eat to many cakes and break wind like any other person... so we should not judge."
"That's right listen to your cousin Jamie he has wise words to share." Jamie shakes his head in amusement. "You sound just like my father Lucas."
"Lord Kevan Wykes ha! I've heard his quite the shrewd man." Arron says while skewing some veg with his fork. "Don't forget his great adventurer, a mid-silver core mage great politician. "And a doting father." I added Jamie seemed embarrassed causing me and Arron to burst out, with laughter. We then talked about different topics such as the last time the kings of Elonoire and Sapin, had held court and the rumour about a first year student beating a professor.
After finishing our meal we all went our separate ways. I headed toward the far side of the academy on my way there I run into the student council president and vice president. Clive Graves glares at me with his narrow eyes and opens his cunt mouth.
"Wykes." He says simply. "Graves ." I replied Coldly and shifted my gaze to the silver-haired elf standing next to him. And asked a simple question.
"And you are?"
