Carefully arranging his clothes into the bag he had brought with him, Alaric thought back to the answer that he had given to Kira the previous day when she had come to him for answers concerning his beast.

It was only normal that she asked for answers after what she had seen.

His own words replayed in his head, “To be honest, I have no idea what she is. All I know is that she is far stronger than she appears. If she were to go into a battle against your Chimera at this stage, I am pretty sure

    The moment Alaric stepped through the gates, he was met by a sight he didn't expect and that nearly drew out a surprised expression from him, but he kept his expression neutral.He had been expecting ruins, a half-damaged academy, but instead, it looked… perfectly fine. “It looks antique,” Kira noted, surprised in her tone. “Yeah,” Tristan muttered under his breath in response. Andrew walked past them, leaving them all to themselves. Josh was a couple of steps ahead of them and it seemed like since he had achieved his goal of being them in, he had no reason to stay among the first-years any more. Looking around, at the huge compound that stretched out, Alaric noticed a couple students busy with one thing or the other. There weren't many; you can probably count them on one hand. “Who the fuck are they? You seemed to know about them,” Andrew demanded the moment he caught up to Josh. The latter spared him a glance. “They are the best students of this year's examination.” Andrew q

  • Chapter 23: One Beast Among The Three

    Alatic, Kira, and Tristan all stood in front of a huge gate that towered above them, raising their heads to see the top of the gates, they saw something else protruding from past the gate, it seemed like the gate was placed in front of a mountain. Alaric turned his head to the left, while Kira turned her head to the right, both of them trying to see where the gates had started from, but they were so wide they could barely see it.Tristan noticed the slight frown on his companion's face when he turned to look at them, but it didn’t take him to figure out why that was. They couldn’t find the edge of each side of the gates. “Ah,” he let out a laugh, drawing their attention to himself, and when he got their attention, he proceeded to talk. "The gate is the most massive that was ever built by the humans in the whole of our history.” “The founder of this academy was said to be the strongest during his time, and you know what it means to be the strongest. You have access to a lot of resou

    “You will die,” Kira whisper-yelled, loud enough for her companions to hearbut impossible for her father to hear over the distance. Alaric spared her a glance. Glad that she had gotten his attention, Kira continued, “the last time I checked, if I am not mistaken, his beast was around a platinum level, if not a platinum level already. He is among those who have been battle-hardened and his beast has a reputation, one that screams heavily of death, I am pretty sure that you can sense it even from a distance that his aura is all about death.” "Do you think that your beast, one who is obviously not in the bronze rank, can take him on? You haven’t even unlocked the ability to use equipment. Forget the fact that Elena can partially use one, it doesn’t level the playing ground.” she added warningly. “No matter the circumstance, I will rather try and know I tried my best to prevent him from taking you, rather than folding my hands and just let him do as he please.” Every word that he spo

    Tristan got over the excitement that had consumed him for a moment and turned to Alaric. “I thought you said her father had forced her to renounce her admission into the Holy Mountain Academy.” Without taking his gaze off Kira, he answered, "That was the information that I got this morning before I left.” After getting control over her breaths, Kira stood straight. Alaric noticed something, she had ditched the gown he saw her with in the castle in exchange for clothes that make combat easy. A brown shirt that wasn’t tight but wasn’t big either, a similar situation for the black pants she was putting on. It seemed like she moved quite easily in dresses like this, given the fact that she had run all the way from the castle to the gate. Alaric noticed a heavy gaze on him, he looked in the direction he had felt it from. Kira’s chimera towered over Kira after its evolution, it slowly brought its lionlike face closer to Alaric, letting out a low warning growl. In that moment, Elena s

    Carefully arranging his clothes into the bag he had brought with him, Alaric thought back to the answer that he had given to Kira the previous day when she had come to him for answers concerning his beast. It was only normal that she asked for answers after what she had seen. His own words replayed in his head, “To be honest, I have no idea what she is. All I know is that she is far stronger than she appears. If she were to go into a battle against your Chimera at this stage, I am pretty sure that your beast will lose, even if it is two on one, your beast and that of Tristan compared to mine.” He let out a sigh and stepped out of the room with Elena closely behind him. He stood in the hallway, a little lost on where to go to find Kira. The sound of footsteps approaching from the left drew his gaze. He snapped his head to face the source gently. “Good day,” he gently called the moment the gentleman reached where he was. The security guard who was patrolling the hallway before mo

  • Chapter 19: What Are You?

    The day to move into the academy was fast approaching, only a couple of hours left, less than a day. Alaric sat in the room with his beast, watching her devour the holy light grass. This time she had begun devouring it the moment he handed it to her without asking any question. She had felt the effect that it had on her the last time, and Alaric saw this as a better option at the moment rather than wasting the balance elixir. The only time he planned on ever using it was whenever they were in battle and she had been forced to use the powers that would disrupt her balance. He watched as the same effect that happened the last time happened once again. Her skin ignited with a pale light. A message popped up in his mind. [Balance Achieved 1:1]'Good.' He nodded his head and pulled his glance away from Elena. For a moment, he wondered why Kira hadn’t introduced him to her dad yet. Not that he was worried though, but that was the sole reason why he was here. His initial goal after s
