"What is your dream,"a mysterious voice asked
"I want to be knight" blaze said to the mysterious voice
"why do you need to be a knight, "the voice asked blaze
"I want to be like the knight who saved me and help people" blaze said thinking back to that day
"but you failed to help Sophia you were the only help she had and you failed her, " the voice said questioning blaze
"but I tried," blaze said trying to convince the voice
"you tried? trying isn't enough someone put there trust and hopes in you, and you failed" the voice said harshly
"I couldn't fight that many people no one can" blaze said while his heart started to beat faster and faster
"a knight can fight those odds but you can't, you want to be a knight and yet you can't save anyone "the voice shouted
"I could..." blaze said trying to find a reason an excuse anything while he started to breathe more and more his heart feeling like a drum in his chest he felt himself falling more into the dark abyss around him fears consuming thousands of thoughts like a thunderstorm in his mind all of them screaming at him
"you failed"
"you failed"
"you failed"
"but I...i tried"
suddenly blaze woke up breathing heavily in bed he looked around the room and realised that he doesn't know where he is the room around him had many beds on each side of the room some of them had curtains around them blaze quickly realised that he was in a infirmary blaze looked around again for a door and when he one saw one blaze quickly attempt to get out of bed but he realized that he was handcuffed to it blaze moved forward and he felt a slight shift of weight and blaze thought that one of the screws holding the bed together must be loose and then a idea crossed blaze's mind and he quickly executed it blaze started to move forward and back in his bed the handcuffs barley allowed him to move but the more he moved his weight on the bed the more looser it became and then it happened a screw fell out luckily the screw rolled close to him blaze reaching as far as he could picked up the screw blaze didn't know how to pick a lock but the screw what fell out was the same size of a table knife so he moved as far away as he could so the chain was straight as possible then with all his blaze hit the chain with a nail it didn't smash but it left a dent so blaze knew was soft enough to break so he continued to hit chain each strike making the dent bigger and bigger and then the chain broke blaze got up out of the bed and he nearly collapsed he felt a massive amount of pain coming from his gut he remembered that he was stabbed blaze lifted his shirt and realized that all his wounds had been bandaged blaze knew with his wounds that he can't stand but he saw a wooden broom in the corner of the room so blaze using the beds to support him got to the broom he grabbed it and then he the broom against the wall the broom snapped but blaze quickly throw up from the pain he felt in his side he decided to sit down for a minute to relax then he heard someone opening the door so blaze hid under one of the beds he waited for the person to pass by before he jumped out underneath the bed and he quickly grabbed the person and pointed the screw at there neck
"don't you move"blaze said trying to scare the person
"well done with the sneak attack but your technique is sloppy" Sophia said pushing blaze's arms to grab the screw and pointing it out him
"ho-how did you do that" blaze asked confused
"you really don't know any fighting styles do you" Sophia said confused how blaze was able to beat some of the students
"hey I was able to knock out you" blaze said defending his lack of skill
"wait you did what" shouted Sophia in anger
"amnesia damm you" blaze said remembering that him knocking someone out can give them amnesia
"you know what it's alright" Sophia said sending a chill down blaze's spine
"most people would have killed me by now what are you up to" blaze said suspicious and scared at the same time
"no it's fine you helped me so your debt to me is no longer a thing" Sophia said making blaze even more suspicious
"I didn't help you I tried to but I got my ass kicked but that is not the point you woke up kidnapped and you used the situation to escape the school you are not type of person to not blackmail me" blaze said as blunt as possible
"oh you don't have to worry about that you should just rest now" she said pushing blaze to his bed
"wait you haven't answered me yet" blaze said suspicious
"hey what is that" Sophia said pointing to in a random direction
"what were?" blaze said turning around not realizing that Sophia had already ran out the door and down multiple corridors
"I just got tricked by my own trick i have truly fallen" blaze said in defeat.
blaze was sitting in his infirmary bed too weak to stand wondering when will he be able to get out
"oh you are awake" a sleep deprived looking man said walking into the room
"who are you?" blaze asked
"oh I am the official rejuvenation mage of this academy" the man said proudly
"and that means?" blaze said confused
"I can heal people but at a cost of course" the man explain to blaze
"wait I have to pay you" blaze shouted
"I don't mean money idiot the same spell has can affect people in different ways so I mean the way the spell affected you cost you" the mage said trying to calm blaze
"okay how did it affect me?" blaze asked worried about the results
"oh you see the spell I cast only slightly closed your wounds not fully heal them it stopped you from bleeding to death but it also caused your body to not heal properly so its going take longer before you are fully healed" the mage said annoying blaze
"wait so it's going to take longer before I can fight again" said blaze scared about the answer
"well yes but no you see I cast sleep spell on you to lower your adrenaline so your wounds wouldn't reopen if you moved but it put you out for a 2 weeks" the mage said to blaze's horror
"wait if I have been out for two weeks why isn't my sister here" blaze asked
"oh you broke into a school what counts as the kingdom property so you have are technically in jail" the mage said confusing blaze
"wait this is a school so why does this count as jail" said blaze
"this is a school so kingdom property and criminals can work off the debt to the kingdom as long as the work is in kingdom property" mage said getting tired of blaze's questions
"wait what work" blaze asked annoying the mage
"KID YOU ARE JUST HERE JUST BECAUSE THE ACADEMY IS INTERESTED IN YOU SO STOP WITH THE QUESTIONS AND REST!" the mage shouted annoyed with blaze's questions blaze simply nodded his head and start to rest in the infirmary bed.
