The day began. Ryu was getting ready for his academy. "Hey Ryu,are you ready?" Akari asked. "Yes sister,I am coming," Ryu replied. They both got ready and went to the academy,riding their horses. A timelapse occurred on the way. They reached the academy and tied their horses at the stable. Then they both entered the academy. Akari was there for a meeting with the magic teacher,Aki, for something. Ryu went to his classes. Before going to class,he had to see the result of the entrance day exam. There was a large crowd gathered to see the result. When Ryu was trying to see the results on the board,a girl came running and crashed into him. "Oops,I am really sorry, brother, really sorry I did not see you," the girl apologized. "Oh,it's no matter, don't worry," Ryu replied. "Well,are you here to see your results?" the girl asked Ryu. "Yes,are you here for the same reason?" Ryu replied. "Yes,I am," the girl said. "Oh,so let's see the results together," Ryu said. "Yes,no problem. Well, my name is Yuki," the girl said. "Ah,Yuki, it's a pretty name. Well, my name is Ryu," Ryu replied. "A very nice name,Ryu," Yuki said. "Okay,let's see the results," Ryu said.
At the same time,the first prince came and accidentally collided with the person next to Yuki. "Oh,I am sorry, sir, I was in a hurry," the first prince apologized. "Oh,Prince!" Yuki said and showed her respect by kneeling down. The nearby students kneeled down too to show their respect. But Ryu was standing without any reaction. "Hey Ryu,he is the first prince, show your respect! Are you a fool?" Yuki whispered in frustration and tension. "Hey Brother Kael,nice to meet you," Ryu called to the first prince. The crowd whispered,'What, he is calling the prince by name? Is he new in the academy? Does he want to die by him? Is he mad?' Yuki thought he would be punished by the prince. Then,suddenly, the prince smiled. "Ooh,Brother Ryu, seeing you after a very long time. I was looking for you here too," the first prince replied. Everyone in the crowd was shocked. "W...What,the prince knows him?" the crowd whispered. "Ww....What, do you know him before, Ryu?" Yuki asked in a very slow voice. "Yes,Yuki, don't worry, he is my old friend," Ryu said in a confident tone. "Ah yes,miss, Ryu is right. We are friends for many years. Don't be so formal. Ah, Ryu, is she your friend?" Kael asked. "Yes,Brother Kael, we became friends just some time ago," Ryu replied. Everyone was shocked that Ryu was talking so normally to the prince.
"Well....Congratulations, Ryu, you topped the exam," Kael said. "W.what,he topped the exam too?" the crowd whispered again. "Ah,really, Brother Kael? I can't believe it," Ryu replied. Yuki was shocked by hearing these new things about Ryu. "Ah,there is a large crowd here. Let's go somewhere to talk," Kael said. "Well,miss, could I know your name?" Kael asked Yuki. "Y..Yes, my name is Yuki," Yuki replied. "Ah,a very pretty name. Okay, let's go to a better place, Yuki and Ryu," Kael said. "Yes,Brother Kael," Ryu replied. They walked out from the place. The crowd talked about them. "This year is so unique;the people coming to the academy are really insane."
The scene shifted to Akari. "Hello teacher,nice to meet you again," Akari said. "Oh,Akari, come," Teacher Aki replied. "Well Teacher,I want something today, can you help me?" Akari said. "Ah,Akari, just say it; I will do it if I can," Aki replied. "Ah,Teacher, well... I want to work as a Magic teacher in this academy as your assistant," Akari said. "Oh really?It's too easy. As you have become something of a spotlight for Ryu, we can talk with the headmaster; he will surely give you the job," Aki replied. "Oh really?Thank you, teacher. Let's go talk to the headmaster," Akari said. "Okay,let's go," Aki said. They both went to the Headmaster. On the way,they saw a girl. She was the princess of the Wyrmspire kingdom. "Ah,Rin, are you here?" Akari shouted, calling the princess. The teacher was shocked that Akari knew the girl who was a princess. The teacher asked,"Hey Akari, how do you know Princess Rin?" "Ah,teacher, I taught her in my past," Akari replied. "Oh really?"Aki said. "Ah,Master Akari, nice to meet you. How are you and what's going on in your life?" Rin asked. "Ah Rin,you have become taller. Well, I am fine now, and I have become the daughter of the Leonheart family these days," Akari said. "Ah,the Leonheart family? Hmm, I have heard this somewhere. Ah yes, is that the family that King Azel announced as a noble family?" Rin replied. "Ah,I don't know about the announcement, but yes, we are very close to the king," Akari replied. "Oh,Master, but you have not changed since the last 5-6 years," Rin said. "Ah,it could be," Akari replied.
The scene changed to Ryu. Ryu,Yuki, and Kael went to the garden to talk freely.
"Ah, well Ryu, you have become much taller than before," Kael said. "Yes,Brother Kael, you are right," Ryu replied. "Ah,but where is Sister Akari? Is she helping your mother at the house?" Kael asked. "No,brother, she came with me. She wanted to talk to Teacher Aki for something," Ryu replied. "Oh..I have not seen her for a long time; I will talk to her if I meet her today, or I am going to your home tomorrow after classes," Kael said. "Yes,brother, sure, come to our house; mother will be very glad to see you," Ryu said. "Ah,well, I heard about your two younger sisters; how are they?" Kael asked. "Yes,brother, they are well now; they are able to talk and walk now," Ryu replied. "Oh,nice. And what about Brother Kai and Sister Zara?" Kael asked. "Yes,brother, they are well too. They visited us some days ago; they will marry each other in a few years," Ryu said. "Oh really?...So it will be the biggest festival of the whole continent," Kael said. "But how,brother?" Ryu asked in curiosity. "Ah,just wait, Ryu, you will know," Kael said with a smile.
At the time, Yuki was thinking. "Wow,Ryu has extensive connections within the whole kingdom. I was so lucky that I became his friend. Really, he is the gifted one. But what about the prince? I heard some rumors that he is so cold and doesn't even talk or smile all the time," Yuki thought in her mind. While she was doing this, the Prince called her. "Well,Yuki, what about you?" Kael asked. "Y..Your Highness,I am well, and I am very much glad to get a chance to talk with you," Yuki said. "Ah,don't be so formal, please; it makes me uneasy. You can talk with me like Ryu does," Kael said. "O..Okay, Prince," Yuki replied. "Ah,what's on your mind? You can ask me without any hesitation. And yes, just call me by my name; as you are a friend of Ryu, you are a friend of me too," Kael said. "Y..yes,Brother Kael, well... I... I have heard some rumors about you," Yuki said. "Really?But what are they?" Kael asked. "Well...Everyone says that you don't ever smile, you maintain a cold look all the time, so I thought that you would punish me when I was at the conference hall. I... I am sorry, Brother Kael," Yuki said in fear. "Ah,don't worry, Yuki. Well, the rumors are real that I maintain a cold look and tone, but I am not really like that. I want to be friendly all the time, but there are not any friends in the whole academy; everyone fears me, so I can't talk to anyone. And as I am the president of the student council, it's necessary to maintain a strict voice to control all the students according to the rules," Kael explained. "O...Oh, sorry, brother, for the direct question. I was just afraid of you; I am really sorry," Yuki said. "Ah,don't worry, Yuki. I am very much glad that now I have friends to talk to here as well," Kael replied. "Well,Yuki, where do you belong?" Kael asked. "Brother...Well.. I belong to the Flaming Sword village... But..." Yuki said with a sad tone. "Are you telling me about the village recently destroyed by the monsters?I was in the fight to save the village. I am really sorry that we couldn't save the village," Kael said. "Really,Brother Kael, you were the warrior? Thank you, Brother Kael, because of you some people were able to escape," Yuki said with a smile. "No,Yuki, I feel very guilty that a large number of innocent people died in the attack," Kael said. "Don't worry,brother, I am so much grateful to you. Because of you, I am alive now, or I would have already died in the attack," Yuki said. Then a student came. "President,the headmaster told you to help the teacher in collecting the magic stones in the forest. The teacher is waiting for you; please come with me," the person said. "Okay,I am coming; wait for me," Kael said and went with them.
"Okay, Ryu, see you later, and good luck with your classes," Kael said and went with the student. "Thank you,brother," Ryu replied. "Well,Ryu, you are really great. You have a friend who is our senior and also the president of the student council, and overall, he is the first prince," Yuki said. "Ah no,Yuki, I was just lucky that I got friends like him," Ryu replied.
"Ah, Ryu, you are really good. I am so lucky to meet you. Well, let's go to our classes," Yuki said. "Yes,Yuki, you go to your class; I will go after a little work," Ryu replied. "Okay,Ryu," Yuki said. They both went in opposite directions. Ryu was walking and just found Akari and Teacher Aki,who were talking with the princess. "Ah,sister, is your work over?" Ryu asked. "Oh,Ryu, have you seen your results?" Akari and Aki asked at the same time. "Yes,I got first position," Ryu said. "Ah,well, teacher, I was looking for you; it's nice that I found you," Ryu said. "Ah,well, sister, I have to tell you about something. I talked with Brother Kael; he is coming home tomorrow," Ryu said to Akari. "Oh,really? It's very nice; mother will be very glad to hear it," Akari said with a smile. "Ah,well, are you Ryuken Leonheart?" Rin
Ryu walked to the classroom and saw that Yuki was sitting alone in the back. The class began to whisper,"Is he the person who is the friend of the president?" Then Ryu walked to Yuki and sat with her. The class whispered again. "Hey,look, he is going to the alone girl." Then he went to Yuki and sat at her side. "Hey,Yuki, why are you sitting alone?" Ryu asked. "Because I have no friends;you are the only one," Yuki replied. "Ah,okay, don't worry; I am always with you," Ryu said. The class became silent as the teacher came inside. When he saw Ryu,he gave him special attention, particularly when he saw his ring. Then the teacher taught all the students in the class,and then the class was over. Ryu and Yuki came out of the class;then they went to the cafeteria. There, Ryu ordered food for them both and used his golden emblem that Kael had given him, and he got all the food for free. Yuki was shocked and asked Ryu, "Hey Ryu,what kind of card is this? You got everything free from here," Yuki asked. "Ah,it's just a Royal Golden Emblem that only those can get who are very close to the royal palace or belong to the royalty," Ryu replied. "Really nice,Ryu," Yuki said.
Then he saw in the distance that Rin was there;she bought food with her card too. Ryu was then shocked and thought that she must be close to the prince too. He did not take it seriously. Then he finished the food with Yuki,and then he told Yuki that he was going to the library. Yuki said she wanted to go there too, so they decided to go there together.
Then Ryu found Teacher Aki in her room,and they all went to the library. "Well,teacher, is there any kind of book on artifacts and artifact fusion?" Ryu asked Teacher Aki. "Yes,there is," Aki replied. Then they went to find the book. Yuki took a book of magic spells,and Ryu took the book that he wanted.
Then Ryu saw Akari there and Ryu offered her to join them. "Hey,Sister Akari, are you looking for any book here?" Ryu asked. "Oh,Ryu, yes, I am looking for some books based on ancient magic and the ancient tragedy," Akari replied. "Well,there is good news for you, Ryu," Akari said. "Really,sister?" Ryu asked. "Yes,Ryu, I became a teacher here as the assistant of Teacher Aki," Akari said. "Oh,really?" Ryu was shocked and smiled. "Yes,Brother Ryu. Well, who is the pretty girl? Is she your new friend?" Akari asked. "Yes,sister, she is Yuki... Yuki, she is my sister, Akari," Ryu introduced them. "Hello,Yuki, nice to meet you," Akari said. "Nice to meet you,Teacher Akari," Yuki said. "Ah,don't call me teacher; as you are the friend of Ryu, you can call me sister," Akari said. "Okay,sister," Yuki replied. Then they found some other books there,and Akari saw a mysterious book on the bookshelf. The name of the book was "THE FRAGMENT OF THE LEGENDRY LIGHT BORN BY THE BLOOD OF THE SHADOWS".
Akari was confused. "Well,Miss Aki, what kind of book is this?" Akari asked Teacher Aki. "Ah,it's a mysterious book; no one could decode it, and the headmaster thought that the book is useless, written by any low-class mage. If you are interested, you could take it," Aki replied. Akari took the book with her. "Well,Ryu, you are so lucky that your sister became a teacher in the academy," Yuki said. "Ah,yes, Yuki, you are right," Ryu replied. Then they all came out from the library. "Well,we have to go to our next class," Ryu said. Yuki agreed,and they both went for their next class, which was the swordsmanship class.
On the way,a student from the same class as Ryu came to him. "W...well,hello Ryu, nice to meet you," the student said. "Nice to meet you,but could I know what your name is?" Ryu replied with a smile. "My name is Itsuki.Well.... Could we become friends?" Itsuki said. "Yes,of course, Itsuki," Ryu replied. "Hello,my name is Yuki, nice to meet you," Yuki said. "Nice to meet you,Yuki," Itsuki said. "From today,we are friends," Itsuki said. Both Ryu and Yuki agreed.
Then they went for their swordsmanship classes. Although Ryu had so much mana and elemental powers,he was still weak in close combat, swordsmanship, and magic casting due to his mana control barrier, so he decided to push his limits here. Then Rin came there. Yuki and Itsuki were shocked when they saw Rin.
"P..princess.."They whispered. But Ryu was still unaware that Rin had come;Ryu was in his deep thoughts. "Hey,Ryu, are you in the same class as me?" Rin asked. Ryu saw her. "Ah,Rin, are you in the same class?" Ryu repeated. "Ah,you should have told me before," they both said at the same time. And when they realized it,they laughed. Behind them,Yuki and Itsuki became speechless dummies. "Hey,Ryu, do you know Princess Rin from before?" both Yuki and Itsuki asked at the same time. "What,princess?" Ryu looked at Rin and asked. "Ah,sorry, Ryu, I forgot to tell you before; I am the princess of the Wyrmspire kingdom. Well, don't worry, that doesn't matter; we are friends now," Rin said. "Ah,you are right, Rin," Ryu said. "Well,both of you could be my friends too," Rin asked Yuki and Itsuki. "What,us?" they both were shocked. "Really?"they both said. "Yes,what is shocking about it? Does a princess not have the right to become anyone's friend?" Rin said. "No,no, Princess, we will be happy if you become our friend," Yuki and Itsuki said. "So,don't call me Princess from today; you call me by my name only," Rin said. "Okay,Rin," they said.
Then the classes ended,and Ryu went to wait for Akari to go home. Then Akari came. "Ah,Ryu, I am sorry for making you wait for me," Akari said. "Don't worry,sister," Ryu replied.
"I was cleaning my room that I got as a teacher,"Akari said. But she thought in her mind: "But really,I was reading the book that I got from the library, and it's written in an ancient language. I am able to understand some of the language as I learnt the ancient language from my master
They returned home.Zara and Kyros were helping each other make dinner, and Amelia came to tell them not to do such things like kids and to leave it to her. At that time, Ryu and Akari entered home and joined them. Everything went smoothly; then they had their dinner, and then they went to sleep. And as usual, Ryu went to cultivate, and Akari secretly watched him. Everything went like regular days.... Then the days skipped by the same,and Ryu became a normal person as time passed in the academy; everyone stopped whispering about him, and everything became smooth... The teacher who showed interest in Ryu before increased his interest day by day in Ryu.
The scene changed to the general of the hooded person. "So you told me that the student is really insane and outstanding,with high connections even with other kingdoms of the continent,... Interesting. Continue your investigation," the general said. "Okay,General," the hooded person said. ....
