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

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

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

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

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
