Chereads / Another God Rejected / Chapter 44 - Fame

Chapter 44 - Fame

Sagar's history class was two hours long allowing him to also have a twenty minute break before his geography class started. Talia and him walked out of the class so they that could talk elsewhere as another class was going to use this room but before they could walk out Sagar felt someone grab onto his shoulder. Turning around Sagar wasn't surprised to find that it was Klaus who had a small smile on his face.

"Sagar where are you going my man? Do you have another class after this?", Klaus talked to Sagar in a light and friendly tone.

Sagar nodded his head responding to Klaus' questions, "Yeah, I only have a little break before my next class so Talia and I were going somewhere to hang out before then."

Turning to look at Talia Klaus said to her, "You don't have another class or what pipsqueak."

Not liking the nickname he gave to her Talia retorted, "I'm not even that short, why are you throwing that label onto me." , looking like she wanted to hit him but realizing it would do nothing but amuse Klaus even more Talia started stomping on the ground.

Talia wasn't necessarily wrong she wasn't short compared to other girls her age but from Klaus' perspective she would actually be short. Sagar thought when he entered the academy that he would be one of the tallest boys among his age group but that line of thinking was shattered when meeting Klaus. Klaus himself stood a whole head over Sagar and there were other's that Sagar met that are taller than him but not as big as Klaus. Of course they were all warriors so their build could mostly be attributed to their training.

Seeing Talia's reaction Klaus let out a good laugh, "Sorry, sorry just wanted to tease you a bit. Anyway you didn't answer my question."

Sort of accepting his apology Talia gave out an answer, "Yeah I do but it's in a couple of hours."

"Do you mind if I ask what the class is, which reminds me that I needed to ask Sagar what his next class is as well?"

"Magic Theory I" , "Geography", Talia and Sagar told him respectively.

Klaus seemed to start thinking a bit asking the duo another question, "Do you two have your schedules on you, if so could I look at them?"

Complying the two gave Klaus their schedules which he promptly gave them back after. Klaus then started walking off shouting to them "See you later!"

Talia and Sagar looked at each as if trying to ask each other about what just happened. Either way they made their way outside to talk for a bit with Sagar leaving whenever it was coming time for class to start.

Sagar continued his day on with his day meeting up with Umbra and Talia in the dining hall after he had finished his geography class. It seemed that they started waiting for him after Umbra had finished her own classes and met up with Talia afterword. Sagar questioned how they knew that he would come to the dining hall after his class which Umbra gave out a mischievous smile while telling him.

"We have our ways."

Sagar could guess a few but they weren't really concrete so he decided to put it on the back burner for now and get something to eat. Gammel's food stall wasn't actually in the dining hall today so the trio went to stand in line in for another stall. In the past two weeks that Sagar has been here he figured out that Gammel sets up his stall at complete random times, not having a fixed schedule that he works around. So far Sagar has only been able to get food from the old man five times in total, with each time the old man staring at Sagar like he was trying to find something.

Sagar could guess what it was but he played it off like he didn't notice the old man's stare and Gammel himself didn't pose any sort of question to Sagar either, not like he would answer any questions the old man asked that were too prying. In line Umbra turned to Sagar trying to make some small talk while they waited.

"Sagar, Talia never told me how you two are related exactly you two were related?", she asked this while pointing to the three headed dragon located on the cloak hanging off of his right shoulder.

Sagar looked at Umbra as if he was confused, "I thought Talia told me we were cousins, shouldn't that be enough."

Umbra shook her head responding, "No, I'm talking about from what specific relative is it that connects the two of you."

Nodding his head in understanding Sagar told her, "My mother is her aunt actually."

"Oh what's her name then?", throwing out another question Umbra waited for Sagar's response.

"Beatrice, can I ask why you're asking all these questions exactly?",

"Besides curiosity, I had a feeling that it was her. Did you know how famous your mother is among the people of the Empire?", seeing his confused face Umbra continued, "Beatrice is the one of the few people alive in the Empire that is capable of defeating someone a full level above them. While she was left crippled after the fight, she still lived causing her name to ring throughout the Empire. I've learned a bit about her history as well as there are books published on her now, you could even say that I've idolized her since I was young."

Hearing about this Sagar was quite shocked as he had heard nothing about his mother's fame from her or anybody else. Looking at Talia it seemed that she was confused about the fact that Sagar didn't know about it either probably never mentioning it as she thought he already knew about it. While Sagar thought his mother was powerful he didn't think she was this strong. He also thought it was a bit funny that he was so shocked about this when he's been capable of such fights ever since he's been able to fight. This was a bit different though as his mother didn't have access to all the things he does making it even more impressive than whenever he does so.

Sagar will just ask her about it whenever he goes back to visit the family and will also try to figure out where the books on her are located in the library later. When he finished his lunch with the two girls he said goodbye to them and made his way to the training grounds or more specifically a room that he had reserved for today.
