After stepping out of the headmaster’s room, the whole academy felt silent as everyone seemed to be busy in a classroom. The year is already coming to an end, soon there will be fresh graduates, and then there will be fresh intakes. Kira and Tristan would be moving on to the third year also, but as for Alaric, he deemed himself a dropout, he was no longer interested in school and also saw no way he would be attending classes with those who are meant to be his juniors. A question was on the surface of his mind, ‘What more does he have to learn in the academy that trumps the one that real-life experience already gave to him?’ He let out a deep sigh and took a turn, finally stopping in front of the door that leads to the training room. That was where he was headed to after all. He wasn’t done talking to his mother, they still had a lot to catch up on, but she was no longer in the room he had left her in. Thanks to his sharp sense of smell, he was able to tell that she was no lo

Alaric had always known the world was not fair. To some, it was the fairytale life they've always dreamt of, but to others, it was the complete opposite. It was basically hell for them. Although he could not come to an answer in his own case, that was the fault of the council members. One thing he knew for sure was that his life had been a lot of things, but a fairytale life? There was nothing like that for him. He could not believe they actually called him to join them. The audacity. Bella noticed the rage radiating around Alaric, and she began walking towards him with the spear in her hand. “I know a lot of things are going through your mind right now, but still, you've got to focus on the main thing here.” “If you're going to survive a war, then you should show me.” Bella stopped, tilting her head towards his spear. “Pick it up.” With confusion making way to his face, Alaric couldn't help but push the words past his lips. “I thought we were done here.” “Things c

A world under a red sky that seems furious every single time with constant lightning and deafening thunderclaps that come randomly seems to be so busy on that particular day. The buildings there were all built with stone and had been reinforced so that lightning attacks wouldn’t be drawn to them or affect everyone in there if it ever struck down a house. That was the kind of life that the demons were used to, the chaotic vibe, which was in contrast with the peaceful nature of the humans. A huge castle stood in the middle of the city, and it could be seen all over the whole world, no matter the distance. That spoke to the height of the castle, which was so close to the sky, one just needed to climb something of average height, and they would be able to see it with no difficulty. The castle has an ominous vibe radiating around it. It was where the seven generals reside, after all. The most powerful demon in the world. Inside the throne room of the castle, there was a long

Days after the council members visited, two strange figures made their way into the Holy Mountain Academy, none of them was puting on shirts, but they had something more like a skirt covering their lower half with a huge weapon strapped to their back. Every student in the academy made way immediately they saw the men make their way into the compound.“What is it and what do they want?” one of the students questioned, taking a proper look at both men, they had long hair and seemed like they lived in the jungle and away from humanity. One extra thing to note was that they had a mean expression glued to their faces and they looked so huge and bulky. They also looked really identical. One of them turned arond and snatched a student by the collar of her uniform, and with so much ease. He raised her to face him, her legs hovering in the air, she got paralyzed by fear instantly. “Do you know where Alaric is?” he questioned with a loud growl, his voice was so scary that she couldn’t let o

The federal council members were gathered together in their usual council hall, the expression on their face was a grim, serious one, due to the events that had happened right under their nose the past day back in the Holy Mountain Academy. “To be honest, I might have acted like everything was fine the other day when the demons came right into the room where we were and dared to threaten us without fear, but to be honest, I am angry,” Dante began, his expression was blank, no signs of anger on his face at all, but it would be a huge mistake to really judge him based on his facial expression. None of them spoke anything in response, he wasn’t done talking and they had nothing to say at that moment, none of them had the interruption of interrupting him while he was in such a mood. “What do you mean by there was a chance of us having casualties exactly where four of the council members were?” he clenched his teeth, “the bodies that we brought with us, I want to know every single thin
