The Council's verdict
GinI followed behind Marcus as he walked into the palace. The interior of the building was almost otherworldly. It radiated class and authority. I had passed by the royal palace a couple of times but I had never been inside before.“come along now, Gin. We wouldn’t want to keep the council waiting now would we?” Marcus asked, beckoning for me to follow behind him.We got to a locked room. I could tell by the door and the pressure I felt, that whatever was behind the door was important. On seeing Marcus, the guards escorting us hurriedly pulled the massive doors open. My intuition was proven right. It was a gathering of the most important men and women in Fritia. I well recognized some by appearance. The others I knew just in name. I never cared for social events so I always excused myself whenever my family hosted their fancy yearly parties with these people. I spotted my dad. He had a serious look on his face. The one he only had when there was trouble, it frightened me. I had start

Registration day
GinRegistration day. Against my mother’s wishes, I went to school with a cast around my left arm. It was more busted up than I realized. Even with magic, the bone needed time to set properly. I was too excited to worry about something as minor as a busted arm. I owed Orion a beating, and I planned to pay him back on the grandest stage I knew. “I’ll hand his ass to him in front of all Fritia’s nobility” I decided.Something bothered me as I sat in class. When I visited the royal palace the previous day, I saw the king. The people only spoke good things about the king, always praising his wisdom and kindness in dealing with affairs concerning the kingdom. During the meeting with the council, he left all the talking to the council members. He looked uninterested, like he had some other place to be. When I asked Mom at home, “that’s just the way he is” was her answer. It had me wondering whether the king was a nonchalant selfish prick like Carolynn had implied outside the wall. All of th

frenemies
GinA few days to the preliminaries. It was rowdy on campus. Everybody was busy with one thing or the other. Training, trying to unlock their secret attributes, building temporary alliances, and then there was me. I was clueless on what to do. In the evenings, Zain spared with me in both sword art and hand to hand combat, during the day, I spent all my time at the workshop, cleaning and organizing the equipment for my bratty seniors.Two days to the preliminaries, I tried harnessing that strange power I used back at that labyrinth, it didn’t work. It hadn’t worked since I got back to the capital. The day before, Marcus gave me a strange weapon in a box. “I’ve got a surprise for you. Even a person with your stats can manage this much.” he said. He told me not to open the box till I was ready to use it, but my curiosity got the better of me, so I opened it.Twin daggers. They were made of the minerals we collected in the cave that day. I recognized the metal. It was the kind that stored

Let the games begin
NarratorOver three hundred students were gathered in the biggest arena at the academy. For the royal games, they all wore robes with their family’s crest on it, in order to represent their houses. As for the few students who didn’t belong to noble houses, they wore robes with the academy’s crest on it.The seats were filled, people waiting to watch the spectacle cheered on the students.Gin stood by the corner, away from the other students socializing, he saw no point in pretending to be friendly just minutes to the tournament starting.A light jab to his shoulder brought his attention back to the arena. Isaak stared him down with eyebrows arched in anger and disappointment.“What kind of friend just goes silent with no form of communication whatsoever?” he asked.“the me kind” Gin replied abruptly.Isaak sighed in exhaustion. “sometimes, I don’t even know what to do with you” he said.“Your antisocial nature will be the death of you.” he added.The absentee friend clicked his tongue

Game plan
GinThe stage started out fierce, with competitors already laying traps and sabotaging each other. I predicated that it would be like this, so I made plans in preparation. More like Zain predicated how it would be and gave me an idea on how to reach the goal in time, but I hated giving her dumbass credit for anything, so I passed it off in my head as my own idea.During the early minutes of the first stage, certain students were more focused on sabotaging other students, acting on grudges rather than focusing on finding the gate. If I could lay off fighting and just focus on finding the gate, I had more chance of finding it.Zain said it, and it was playing out exactly as she predicated. It was to be expected, she won the royal games during her last year at the academy.I wasn’t familiar with some districts in the capital because asides the Crowleys’ mansion, I hardly left the Sofiaso fortress.“where to look, where to look. Where do I look first?” I pondered, tapping my forehead ligh

Rhyssa the sprite/the ambush
GinThere were two assailants as far as my eyes could see. If it were just these guys, then there was nothing to worry about. Neither of them used magic when I fought them in school due to the academy’s policies. Students weren’t allowed to use magic on other students on school premises, except it was an official duel. I always had the edge over my opponents when I encountered them on school grounds, asides Isaak and Carolynn, I didn’t know of many other students that could match my raw physical strength. I was at a disadvantage, out here, physical strength amounted to very little, we were allowed to use magic. The entire point of the event was to show off our magic abilities.“how do you intend to get out of this, Ginny. They look serious” my partner asked, she was on edge. Sprites hated violence, it was against their nature.“You can go to sleep, Rhyssa. I’ll summon you again when I’m done taking care of this” I instructed, watching my opponents closely to make sure they didn’t make

Faceoff
Gin“Another competitor has crossed the gate” the device notified. How many was it at that point? Since the first announcement of a competitor crossing the gate, I had received a bunch of similar notifications from the hovering device. “I have to find that gate soon. According to the information we received, it should be changing locations anytime soon” I muttered.“We’re close Ginny, but the energy in that area is starting to fluctuate” Rhyssa informed.“it’s just like I suspected. The gate will move soon. I would be faster if I wasn’t trying to creep around the shadows but the moment I attempt to move in the open, I’ll get ambushed.” I pondered, stroking my chin.“how about just heading to the next location before it even appears there?” Rhyssa suggested.“and how do you suppose I find out where the next gate will appear?” I asked impatiently.“while the mana dissipates at the region where the gate is located, I feel it building in another direction. Just east of here” she explaine
