Chereads / Mutt : The Path To Strength / Chapter 3 - Fate Academy

Chapter 3 - Fate Academy

My home city had been far from sight for miles, the seemingly same trees passed by the window every second. The woman, who's name I discovered to be Irina, played classical music and relaxing jazz on the cars radio. Now that I've gotten a chance to fully look her up and down, she is pretty hot. She has delicate pale skin, allowing the blush of her cheeks to stand out like a rose in the snow. Her body had curves in all the right places, a seemingly hour-glass figure, her hair flowing down to her hips as if to frame her body.

Perhaps she had noticed me staring, because the intensity of her rose-red cheeks only grew with every glance she took at the rear-view mirror. Well, she isn't telling me to stop, so... maybe I can tease her a bit. The moment she glanced at the mirror again, I locked my eyes with here, wearing a smirk on my face. From the bottom up, she seemed to light on fire as she struggles to focus on driving. Letting out a little squeal, she seems to be attempting to avoid glancing into the rear-view mirror... spoiler : she failed.

We had long since entered the city, the repeating trees were now a thing of the past. Now, there were malls, stores, gyms, etc. filling my view. According to Irina, this particular city was built around the school in order to support its development and to provide recreational activities for students. The city itself, however, is only slightly bigger than the on-campus dorms, cafeterias, gyms, classrooms, testing rooms, and courtyard combined. The reason for this is that many, many, students will be attending this school throughout the years.

It should be noted that, for the first year, there will only be a few thousands students. This is only because the first group of students will be the test subjects to make a better school for the other groups. Well... that explains the little traffic as well. The only cars or magic-bikes I see around are parked at businesses.

"How much longer is it to the school?" I asked Irina.

"You should be able to see it once we turn this corner... there it is!" She enlightened me.

Holy shit! She wasn't fucking kidding when she said it could rival the size of the city itself!

Spanning the entirety of my vision, were massive school facilities. The courtyard lay in front of us, bushes and sakura trees lined the paths spreading throughout it, while awestruck 1st-years wandered about. Off to the right was a building lined with bronze, an odd sense of chivalry and humility overwhelmed me as I gazed at the bronze sword hung from its highest tower. Shining from the left is a building lined with silver, from it came a sense of pride and nobility, a magical insignia of a lion shined above it. Outshining and standing far above the other school buildings, in between both the lion and sword buildings, was an exceptionally massive building, golden statues of fallen deities and demons lay in front of it as a sense of suppression radiated from it.

Just what the hell is this school?!

That is the thought that is the most prominent in my mind. My sense of wonder is cut-short as Irina opens the car door. Apparently she had already parked during the time I was basically in a trance.

As I stepped out of the car, she bowed slightly while saying, "Welcome to Fate Academy!"
