"I don't need to explain why I called both of you here," Wistoria said calmly as she raised her hand, the reason she was doing this was really simple, she wanted to see the prowess of Kirin against someone of his own rank and also to see that Seth was made off, if he was good enough, she would take interest in him.The two of them faced each other, Bokken in hand, in truth, this was the first time that Kirin would ever face off against Seth, it had never occurred to battle against each other, because it always made sense for them to get enough rest as possible to kill the next monster that came their way.Kirin's eyes darted between Wistoria's raised hand and Seth, Seth knew of his flaws and skills, he also knew that Kirin could only use one element, that one element he was very proficient in."Start" Wistoria's hand swung downwards as if slicing the air.Seth acted first, unlike Kirin who could use only one element, he could use all as many as he had mastered, including lightning.He

"We're gonna be late, hurry up" Kirin shouted as he lifted his bag across his shoulders, in the past two weeks he had been here, he had trained over and over again with Seth, they had significantly gotten stronger not because they fought themselves, but because they both went against Wistoria and had their asses handed to them every single time.Although it pained Kirin that he had never won a single fight against that mad woman, he was also happy that he could learn some skills from her.She wasn't here to see them off, but that didn't matter, they had been given admission into The Academy.The Academy was a renowned warrior school, funded by the Emperor himself, it was filled with nothing more than Nobles and the likes, children from high families gathered there to train and become fully-fledged warriors after three years.Some have the opportunity of joining the government ranks while others prefer to join the military, or go back to their families and start a business or lead the

Leo calmly explained the hierarchy that existed in the Central Alliance, there were three walls in the Central Alliance, the outer walls contained everything and everyone, it was also insanely large and covered an immeasurable expanse of land.The second wall that Seth had pointed out to Kirin, was where the middle-class and second-class citizens lived, if you were rich enough then you could afford a house there but if you were poor or couldn't afford to pay the tax then you were thrown out into the slums.In the second wall was the heart of the city, where business boomed and life was relatively better, it's also where The Academy was located, the further down you went, the more refined and expensive things became, it was simply a measure of wealth.The last wall in the heart of the Central Alliance was for Royalty and Incredibly wealthy families, the Arcanus Family for example lived in the third wall, only those from the great Families and descendants of the Emperor were allowed ent

"What the hell..." Kirin whispered. The scene that played out before him was unlike anything he had come to expect."Are they fighting each other?" He asked again."Looks like it. Looks fun don't you think? I kinda want to join them" Seth flexed his arms a bit."We just ran twenty five kilometers and you want to fight a couple of strangers with no context whatsoever?" Kirin eyed Seth.Seth rolled his eyes. Just then, another body flew across the expanse, heading towards Kirin. Seth dashed forward and caught the person mid air."Oohh, it's a young lady. Must be my luck" Seth chuckled. Kirin scowled at that and watched the battle more closely.The first thing he noticed was that it wasn't as brutal as he initially thought. Sure enough, he could see the use of various elements all at once, if anything, this was the most he had ever seen such a gathering of various elemental types being used in battle simultaneously.But he also noticed that the fighters were divided into two groups. One

Waiting in anticipation, the students rolled into the Pagoda one after the other, they all stayed at the lowest floor, the tables and seats were all cleared to make way for brutally wounded students. Some were better off than others, while others had a few broken bones, bandages around their bodies and swollen joints. In all, they were a miserable looking lot.Kirin noticed as medicinal pills were passed amongst them, while others were too severely wounded and had to be carried out again to the medical ward. Seemingly bothered by the current state of things, Kirin approached a young man around his age to understand the state of things."Excuse me?" Kirin approached the young man. He was dressed in his battle gear with a blade on his back, he had brown long hair tied in a bun, a severe look on his face and some wounds that littered his body."Huh? Ooh it's you, the new guy" he turned and faced Kirin, watched him for a brief moment, then turned back and faced the wounded students. Kiri
