I Will Not Fail
Back at the academy, Serra was heading to the library when she suddenly stopped. Myra was the first to stepped out, then Varak appeared beside her.Serra shifted back as she put some space between her and them.Varak's expression look like he could kill someone right now. He clenched his hand tightly beside him."Where is he?"Serra looked at him and then at Myra."I said where is that friend of yours?" Varak said. "Rhaegar. Where is he?"Serra said nothing as she bit her lips.With out saying a word, she turned to go the other way."And where exactly," Myra said, moving quickly to block Serra path, "do you think you are going?""We are not done talking to you," Myra added.Serra swallowed."I do not know where Rhaegar is," she said quietly.Varak's hand clenched at his side. It was a small movement, but Serra eyes caught it. Varak was boiling inside. He wanted to use Serra to get Rhaegar to handle the map back.."You..."Varak reached out and grabbed her by the collar.Serra did no
Cheat Code
All of Class 2A students were in their seats while Eron was standing.He looked around the room before he started to speak."The information reaching us," he said, "is that today is the inter-class challenge. The first exam will follow after. Probably before the month ends."Upon hearing it, Rhaegar let out a quiet breath.He had thought the exam was starting today. Thank the source it was just the challenge.He leaned back slightly in his seat.Since it was the month end, there is still enough time to be prepared at least. Eron clean his cheek and continued."For the challenge, every class will be presenting four representatives."He paused and looked around the room."So. Who do we put forward as our representative?"A girl at the back immediately raise her hand.Eron pointed. "Yes, Shan"The girl stood up. She looked around the room before she spoke."Eron. Claudia. Serra." She paused. "And Rhaegar."Eron did not react immediately. He simply looked out at the class."Anyone who ag
What Cheat Code?
Serra raised her eyebrows hearing Rhaegar's words.Eron who has been keeping his head down since he walked back lifted his head when he heard those words."What cheat code?" Serra asked.Rhaegar's eyes shifted briefly to where Cassin and Kate stood on the opposite podium. Then he looked back."I think they are using venom Threading," he said.Serra stared at him in shock.Venom Threading was not a fighting technique. It was more closer to a trap set inside the body. A channeler could spend days before a fight weaving a specific thread pattern deep into their own channeling lines. It was a smart trick that is hard to pick up when it is done correctly.The weave will be there until contact is made. The moment it waa passed through a strike and landed on an opponent, the opponent's perception would tilt sideways. Their eyes would spin, their legs would forget what they were doing and the blood from the nose was the body of the victim reacting to threads being forcibly torn apart.And It
Do Not Let Her Win
The crowd gasped upon hearing Serra challenging Cassin. The other Class 2A students who were on the field with the rest of the students started clapping.Up on the high platform, Professor Nicholas who stood with his arms folded behind his back let out a long breath. Before the challenge started, he already accepted that Class 2A would walk away from this challenge with out winning any fight. And the first two losses were confirming his fears. But now with this win, he could not help but grin widely. Maybe, just maybe, 2A will be able to pull this one odd.On the other end, Varak face turned into a frown with different thoughts running through his mind..How did Kate lost?Why didn't their trick work?Beside him, Myra's jaw tightened as she said nothing. But the heat coming off her was enough to fry someone.Cassin turned his head toward Varak."You heard that?" he said.Varak looked at him. "I heard it.""She is challenging me.""You should go." Varak voice was low.Cassin noded a
Rhaegar Challenge Varak
Seeing Serra gritting her teeth as she held her ground, Myra scoffed.Her eyes were only on Serra like ahe was a trash."You must think very highly of yourself," Myra said. "Ypu are nothing but a poor wretched who thinks she owns this place."Serra did not reply. That silence only seemed to irritate Myra more. Her jaw tightened. "Do you even know who you are standing in front of?!" Myra's voice cracked across the field like a whip. "I am Myra of House Veinfell! You are nothing! A stray wearing a student's uniform, and you dare stand on the same ground as me?!"Then Myra moved again. She was fast and is very faster than Cassin, and Kate had been. Myra channeling thread was shot forward in a straight line that was aimed directly at Serra's chest.Serra twisted and stepped back quickly.The thread grazed past her shoulder.It did not miss by much. The fabric of her shirt was tore at the edge.And Serra felt a little sting where the thread had grazesd her skin. It was too close.Myr
You Are A Failure
The crowd was still gasping from Serra's flying off the ground when Rhaegar's voice sounded."Rhaegar of Class 2A challenges Varak of Class 2B."Upon hearing the words, the crowd went still immediately and then then the murmurs started flying.."They are finally doing this.""I have been waiting for this. Since the fountain wave practice, I knew this was coming.""Did you hear what happened during that training of the fountain wave? Someone said Rhaegar beat Varak's time.""Beat it? He swept it and Varak dropped to his knee and apologised to the whole of 2A in front of everyone.""That actually happened?""Ask anyone who was there, they will tell you.""So who do we think walks away from this? Rhaegar or Varak?""Varak. Obviously. He has the advantage.""Let’s not forget Rhaegar beat his fountain time...""Fountain times and an actual fight are two completely different things."The murmurs were still going on..While on rhe fighting podium, Varak was already standing with his arms fol
How is that possible?
Rhaegar said nothing as he blocked the next thread that Varak sent at him.Varak gritted his teeth in frustration as he groaned. He had not expected this fight with Rhaegar to last this long. After all, he had been training far longer than Rhaegar and Rhaegar had just recently be Un-Stilled. He should have won easily. But seeing Rhaegar was not an easy target, he started using those words to try to throw Rhaegar off balance.But no matter what he said, the words were not doing any harm to Rhaegar. Varak rolled his wrist and sent a sweeping thread low.Rhaegar stepped over it.Why is he not reacting?Varak sent another pair of threads, angling them wide to catch Rhaegar from both sides at once.Rhaegar caught the left one and let his body roll with the right, taking only a graze on his shoulder.Then Rhaegar let out a chuckle seeing Varak frustrated expression. "You think," Rhaegar started.."that I have not said all of that to myself already?"Varak said nothing."Every single word
Seize Him
Rhaegar froze staring at Varak. Then he exhaled slowly through his nose with his eyes still on Varak. He was really looking at him now. The channeling threads hanging from Varak's hand were barely visible. In fact there were thin as spiderweb and trembling faintly. Varak let out a chuckle slightly as he watched Rhaegar. Seeing his shock face, Varak grin."What now your highness?" Varak said, his voice laced with mockery. "You look like you have seen a ghost."Varak smile widened. "I will tell you this. You have gone further than what people expected." His voice was still laced with mockery. "No one expected the Stilled Prince to last even half this long. You should be proud of that. When you lose, at least you will know you gave all you have."Rhaegar looked at him and shook his head slowly. “You already counting the victory, Varak? Your ego really will be your downfall one day.”Varak’s smirk widened. “Why shouldn’t I count my victory? There is no way you for you to win here.”Rha
Far From Over
There was a very deep silence after Solen's outburst. Everyone was calm, even the crowd of the students do not dare to move.They wanted to see how this would end.Every guard on the field was not even moving. They all stood completely still. Not one of them moved toward the fighting podium. Not one of them have the mind to walk to Rhaegar and seize him.Because he was the prince and Solen was just a mere Vice Principal of the Academy.Yes, his cousin was Blood Duke Doran of Mountainfell, agreed. But none of that changed that Rhaegar was the prince of Elyria. And in Oros as a whole, not even a Duke's cousin can give an order to seize a prince from where he stood.If it had been anyone else on that podium, the guards would have rushed already to seize them.But it was Rhaegar.So they stood there and afraid to make a move and their eyes was carefully avoiding Solen's direction.Seeing that the guards was not even moving, Solen expression shifted from furious red to more angry expressi
Forsaken
The inter-class challenge was now over.And it is what everyone at the academy was talking about.The news spread like a wild fire. And before classes was over, every students where saying the same thing; The Stilled Prince led 2A to victory.And it was over over Varak — the boy everyone considered the best student in the whole of class 2.And for the first time, Rheager was being respected and look differently. And it was not the same pity or respect that comes with his status as a prince. It was a well earned respect instead.Inside the class 2A hall, the students were very loud.Most of them were clapping and hitting the desks. Some were on their feet jumping. Some were already hugging each other and laughing at the same time over how Myra was beaten by Serra. Eron already has his chair tilted back on his two legs. Serra was sitting sideways on her seat with her arm draped over the back of Eron seat. Claudia was saying something to the girl beside her, gesturing with both hands
