Awakening The Shadow; The Apex Era

The Warrior Goddess

“Can't you do it?” That sounds like a sarcasm to Keiran who was determined to prove himself right to them. “Why won't I do it?”

“Are you sure you can do it?” Aria asked, whispering to his ear while he nodded.

He shifted backward, closed his eyes then opened it suddenly, activating the instruction in his system.

Suddenly, there was a loud roar from him, yanking off his robe then turning to his transformed self.

“Oh my goodness!”

His bigger body took half of the auditorium, making others appear like an insect to his eyes.

“The mighty king, what else do you want me to do?” His hoarse voice roared then he transformed back to his smaller body.

He groaned in pain as he landed back on the floor. He couldn't hold more than three minutes.

Both Aria and Selene ran to him and asked, “are you okay?”

He was helped to get up , then murmured “thank you” to Aria, ignoring Selene's presence.

“He didn't thank me?”

He was helped to wear back his robe and walked towards the mighty king, who was left speechless with what he just saw.

The flame was just cooling off as he got back his strength and energy.

“Did you see that? He was way bigger than the mighty king” Maya murmured as she fixed her gaze on the mighty king.

Dean Edwin supported her “I noticed that as well. The mighty king was just half of his body. Indeed, his power is at the peak and should be given the title of the mightiest king”

“Will you shut your mouth? How dare you speak about me when I'm here? Where are your manners? What the heck do you mean that he is bigger than me? In what way? Haven't you seen me before? Are you just be blind to see that?” The yelling from the mighty king shaken the hall. His eyes were reddish in color like he was being defeated.

“Why is he angry over something we all witnessed? We have seen him transforming before and he wasn't as bigger as Keiran”

“Is he annoyed to have seen someone bigger than him?”

“Will his title be taken away from him as a mighty king since there is a bigger person now”

“I said, shut up!” He yelled again, with the student maintaining a decorum inside the hall.

“If I hear anything from any of you, I'll not hesitate to strangle you”

“And why on earth would you strangle them?” Says the warrior goddess as she stepped her feet into celestial Academy's hall.

“The warrior goddess in our school?”

“Am I dreaming?”

“How is this possible?”

Her level of Aura was unmatched as she stepped in, in her fully armoured uniform.

Her short hair stopped at her shoulder level and it was black in color.

Her steps made sounds to announce her presence.

“Welcome, the warrior goddess” she was being greeted but ignored them and focused on the mighty king.

“I asked you a question, Donald. Why would you strangle them?”

“I didn't say -”

“Do you wanna tell me I had an issue with my hearing cos I heard you vividly” she cut him off and behind him was the military general, in full uniform as well.

“Is this how you used your power in an unjust way? You stoop so low, Danold and you should better make adjustment”

“I'm amazed to see you in my school and also, it is a privilege to have you. We would have prepared better but I wasn't aware of your visit” Dean Aldrich gestured the warrior goddess to her seat but she shunned him off.

“I am not here for you. I came for the young man whose power got to my side and couldn't ignore it.”

“Oh, you must be the man. I can see it in you. Welcome to the league” she beamed in happiness as she set her eyes on Keiran.

“Thank you ma'am” he replied with his head bowed.

“I can feel the energy by coming close to you. I haven't felt this in my lifetime. Gosh! I have promised not to take any discipline again but I can't help. Will you be my last discipline?"

The request shocked them all. Keiran's mouth was opened due to the shock.

The whole warrior goddess, who has always been in charge of war, offers to take him as her last discipline? Incredible.

“This is what I have been imagining. Not becoming someone's grandson's puppet” the thought then suddenly went on his knees.

“Masters! I accept to be your discipline and I promise that you will not regret it”

The applause from Aria brought so much joy to him and he laughed again.

The mighty king was dumbfounded but other Deans looked like they were happy for Keiran.

“You are so lucky or should I say your power got you this offer. The military goddess has concluded on not taking any discipline again but I can see, you captured her heart” he was also complimented by the military general.

“That isn't all I have for you, I'll give you a scholarship to the military school where you will be trained in both compact and magical aspects,” she added.

“Oh my goodness! The military college is the height of it all. You must have ascertained some level of power before you will be able to purchase the form, then the entrance examination is more difficult than fighting the beasts, they say but here is Keiran, getting a free scholarship to the military college. That's massive”

Keiran stood frozen. It was a good idea but he has read about the military college entrance examination.

“The winner always goes home with three hundred pieces of gold and two hundred pieces of silver” he thought loudly then went back on his knees. “Master, I apologize but I'll not be able to take this offer”

“What! Why? What happened?” Aurora, the warrior goddess questioned.

“Don't be annoyed, my master. I appreciate your offer but I would like to take the challenges of partaking in the military college entrance examination and I promise to give it my very best” he explained his reason, sending smiles to Aurora's face.

“I'm blessed to have you as my discipline. I knew I made the right decision. Can you imagine? He wants to work for it. That's good and I accept your reasons”

“I think it's high time I bless you with something as well” the military general who came with Aurora stepped forward.

“Do you have any house of your own?”

Keiran immediately replied that he was a student on scholarship and he had nothing in his name.

“I have a mansion in the Eastern part of the country, very close to the military college. If you are to take the entrance exam,then you need to study hard. Make Aurora proud and make yourself proud as well. I'll have someone to give you the key and henceforth, the house is yours “

“What! What did I just hear?”

“He was blessed with a house?”

“A mansion?”

“thats massive”

“House? Are you kidding me?” He stuttered, blinking his eyes repeatedly.

“A whole Warrior general cannot be kidding you, Keiran. He meant it” Aria whispered to his eyes. Keiran's mouth was opened in awe.

“I'm deeply indebted” immediately bowing to the general.

“I can't believe you are all doing this. I mean there is nothing special in that boy to be given a house. He hasn't learnt anything regarding his power yet, why make him feel like a minigod” The mighty king scoffed as he stood off from his seat, swaying his rope backward.

“admit it, Donald. This energy power is rare and unique. He deserves all the goddess he desire” Aurora smirked while Donald kept mute.

“you have nothing to think of, within a few weeks, he would learn a lot from me”

“He now owns a mansion. I would have been beside him, rejoicing if I hadn't broken up with him” Selene murmured in regret.

“That's why you are a loser”

“Let's get Keiran started. The beast's invasion is getting rampant but our savior is here!”
