"You guys move, those seats should be used by someone of our caliber!" A voice sounded as Xol and Asteria talked.
Glancing at the origin of the voice Xol could see a group of persons walking toward them from the edge of the row seats. Xol couldn´t see their information as they were still too far, but managed to recognize the person walking in front, Henley.
"Oh, look who is here. We still have an unfinished business Xol, move from these seats and go to the last row and we can call it even." Henley said with an arrogant face. Behind him were five persons. Apart from two persons who were where wearing a green mage robe and brown one, everyone in the group had elegant noble clothes like Henley´s. One had an light green robe of nobility, another a azure one and the last a white one.
"What unfinished business it was an accident and we both cleared the trial why not let it rest. Furthermore, why should we move, we were here first, you can take the seats right beside us as no one has taken them. Lastly, why should I move toward the last row?" Xol said trying to remain calm.
"Hey Henley, he right you're taking this too far." The azure clothed noble in the group said.
"Amon is right, didn't they told us we shouldn´t mess with a certain someone, beside he is right we can take the seats beside them." The white robed noble said.
"Amon, Roy you call yourself nobles with that perspective, only persons of our caliber should take the middle seats in the front row. Do you want the fourth prince to seat with these peasants?" Henley glared at the nobles that spoke.
Amon had black hair and brown skin. He had teardrop shape face with a straight nose, black eyes and his thin eyebrows with his smile gave him an amiable expression. Roy had golden hair and hazel eyes with blue flecks over his square face. He had a hulking imperious nose giving him an imposing look, but his voice was soft and kind as the morning sunlight. Both of them where as tall as Henley.
"And you, thank to you attacking me, my score fell getting me a bad initial ranking in our generation, so don't think it can be rubbed like nothing." Henley said as he pointed to Xol with an angry face.
"I didn´t attack you, you ran as I was shooting a Mana Bomb as I was saying to everyone to shoot at him. The senior used you as shield to block my attack. Yeah, I could have given a heads up about the chains being meant to distract him so we could shoot at him, but the senior would have ignored the chains and be on guard. Also, you ran not bothering saying something. We both at fault but we both passed so it would be better let it rest." Xol replied as he closed his fists.
"Xol is right, y–" Asteria said.
"Shut up, I already gave you a chance, move right now, or I use my position as young master of the Maxmour to expel you this instant." Henley stomped his foot and glared at Xol.
"You wouldn´t dare." Xol said as he glared back at Henley.
"Henley stop –" Amon and Roy said pulling Henley sleeves, but Henley pulled his arms off
"HAHA, why would I dare with my position the academy would obviously prefer a noble like me than a simple peasant like you." Henley said with an arrogant smile.
"As for you two get lost don't call me a brother ever again." Henley sent an icy look over his shoulder.
"Oh, seems like the Maxmour family is declining if they are accusing people falsely and even use empty threats to pull their weight." Asteria said with an icy tone directly at Henley.
"Shut up Asteria, don't say another word or I also ask the academy to expel you. Move right this instant as you have the best seat and only the fourth prince Darren should sit on it." Henley gestured the last noble in the group.
"Oh" Asteria looked at the person.
Prince Darren was wearing a light green noble robe, he measured 1.76 making quite tall in the group. He had black hair, white skin and furrowed brows. He had diamond shape face and was raising his head slightly up as if he saw everyone as insects with his light blue eyes.
"Want to see something interesting?" Asteria said to Xol.
Xol was perplexed at the question but nodded soon after.
"Follow me and stand up, trust me." Asteria said with a smile.
Asteria stood up and walked toward the left of the group, standing up Xol could see a word written in the chair back, 'Asteria'.
"Good, seem someone has a brain after all unlike a certain someone who is going to be expelled after today, now then prince Darren pleas sit." Henley said as he gestured the prince to seat.
Asteria clasped tightly her hand hearing the indirect in the comment, but soon calmed herself thinking of the spectacle that would start in a few. Xol fist were deeply grasped and turned to Asteria.
"Just wait, relax" Asteria whispered Xol with a smile. Xol didn't know what she was up to but instead tried to calm down.
"Brother Henley, how could I take the seat you took so much effort in getting, as a reward I should allow you to take the best seat." Darren gestured Henley for him to take it, which Henley bowed as an honor.
"As for you two, I will be magnanimous and forgive you in name of brother Henley, as nobles we should stand united and help each other in acting in the best way of noble." Darren glanced coldly at Amon and Roy.
"Milord we shouldn't –" Henley interjected.
"Enough! As nobles we are, we should shape them so they don't harm the reputation of the four noble families." Darren said as he glanced at Henley.
"I was wrong and didn't understand what your highness was trying to teach me." Henley apologized as he half bowed completely.
"It's all right, now then let seat as I said, Henley take the best seat I sit in the right and the rest would seat toward my right. While we wait, I´ll explained you clearly how a noble should act." Darren said as he glanced toward the group.
Henley and Darren proceeded to seat according to what was stated, the two persons with mage clothes sat two seats from the prince. Amon and Roy didn´t move and glanced at Xol with hesitation. They also liked to use their position as young masters but didn´t feel this was right and felt Henley had gone too far.
They glanced at each other and nodded steeling their resolve.
"You guys why aren't you seating, do you want to go against the prince wishes." Henley said as he turned and sat.
"We don't think thi—" both started explaining
*CRACK
In front of the seat the space started cracking.
"WHO DARES TO SEAT IN MY NIECE´S PLACE!" A shout could be heard
Soon the space cracked, and a portal could be seen, soon Izuriel came out with an angry look.
Except for Asteria, all of them were shocked and scared seeing what just happened.
"They uncle, they even say they can expel us." Asteria said pointing at the group.
"HAHAHA, you guys are really dumb, not only do you take my niece seat, you want to expel her. As if the principal would expel her own daughter." Izuriel laughed hearing Asteria comment.
The group face warped in terror hearing those words.
"Persons like you shouldn´t hear my lecture, now get ready to be send out." Izuriel said with an icy smile
Having said that Izuriel snapped his fingers of his left hand and the group was gone and appeared near the exit of the hall.
"If I see any of you in my lecture, I punish you very severely, now exit the hall by you own feet." Izuriel voice resounded.
The group was shocked and turned toward the front row with an aghast face.
"Now then my niece I still need to prepare some things before the lecture and will return to my office, see you soon."
*Cough *Cough
Glancing toward the noise Izuriel saw Xol with his hand in front of his mouth.
"Uhm Teacher Izuriel didn't you say you couldn't guarantee a seat for your public lecture?" Xol said with an eye closed as he lowered his hand.
"What, you���re still not my student, I don't have to give you preferential treatment like my niece." Izuriel said nonchalantly.
Hearing the comment Xol could only think one word 'Shameless'.
