Yuan's Pov
It has been 10 years since I was in the academy, yes such a big gap since the very first time Im here, nothing really much happened when I was still in my elementary and junior years so I dont have much to talk about the past rather than we found Merina.
"Yuan what are you writing there?"
Merin Klein, shes a water mage and a daughter of baron Klein in the eastern part of Nicholasia. We met her at our junior year in the training camp to prepare us for seniors, story is we met her since nobody wanted to team up with her because Merin has a scary presence.
We basically became friends after that, nothing bad really happened we just, hanged out as friends.
"Yuan how long are you gonna look at nowhere?" Leo shook me by the shoulders to get my attention.
"Are you thinking about something dangerous again Yuan?" Heidrich raised his eyebrow at me.
"not this time, im not..Its just that, time has passed by really quickly and nothing fun hardly happen." I replied and laid my head on my table.
"what do you expect to happen, a war?" Merin sarcastically said and placed her hands on her hips.
"If possible yes." I murmured, hard enough for them to hear.
"I really hope the future of our empire would be bright.." Leonardo stated while fakely sounding like he was crying.
The two was kind of confused since Leo was the only one who heard what I said, but they just shrugged it off and just laughed.
Anyway, since nothing excited happens, I actually start my own wars or something close to that. Call me a delinquent but nicer, Its just boring when your life dont encounter something fun you know.
"Yuan, its been a while since we've last did sword training" Leo blurted out of the blue.
"Yeah, since you take magic classes you guys hardly ever train swords" I replied.
The next interesting thing I learned about Leo is, He's scary when he gets mad, well people also say my face is scary whenever they look at me but thats a story for another topic, Leonardo's appearance is dark-blue hair and has red eyes, and is an elf, The Gracian's always had been a family of elves.
He also has fangirl swooning over him whenever chance they get to meet him, Well he's not the only one I guess, I get swooned over too, not bragging but I think my girl count is much higher than his, but anyway, One girl actually tried to poison Merin but since shes a big part of our group Leo looked tried so hard to find the culprit which is eventually one of his Fangirls, that girl got expelled for rekless food poisoning.
The cafeteria was almost burned down to a crisp because of him.
I looked at my friend.
'A strong idiot is more of a suitable title for you' I thought of.
"Why are you staring at me like that—" Leo says with an uncomfortable look in his face.
"now that I think about it, you did become more..charming? and less than a douchebag" I compliment.
The two then patted each of his shoulders while they fakely teared and fake sniffles, its like their making fun of Leo.
"Congratulations bro, you have officially evolved from an idiot to a decent person" Heidrich said jokingly.
"Yeah, Leo your all grown up im proud" also said Merin.
"I dont whether I take that as a compliment or an insult." Leo just stated.
After making fun of Leo is the schools magic speakers suddenly echoed through the school's hallway.
"Attention Students of Nicholasia, I am the school's student president Vince Braon; and i am here to call the attention of prince yuan and his companions to head straight to the counseling office"
It said.
I wonder what's going on, why are we called there? The counseling office is where the student body presidents of this school is.
"Hey you guys..we didnt do something bad right?" Merin worriedly said.
"Its said that, the student council has very powerful magic and swordsmanship that can get rid of you with one spell of magic and one slash of their swords" Heidrich stated in a panic.
"Don't worry you guys, I bet its just an errand." I said and gave them a calm smile.
All three of them covered there face and all talked in unison.
"The sun has set his gaze upon us lowly mortals, we dont deserve this treasure"
I just ignored them and started to walk to the counseling office, to which they followed.

"Anyway, I called for you four because the king has sent a request for his son." The presiding said in a menacing cold tone, that can send shivers down your spine.
"Father?" I questioned.
"The elven kingdom in the west has suddenly got attacked and the king wanted his son of companions to investigate the cause of the attack" he continued to talk, replying to my confused question.
I basically just nodded but Leonardo reacted.
"Which part of the elven forest?! the Gracia palace?!" Leo snapped.
"calm down prince Leonardo, the place attacked is located in the midnight water cross" The president said which calmed him down.
"but why the water cross.." Leo questioned
"That is why his royal highness asked you to investigate, he also said to be careful and avoid unnecessary danger" As he said that, he looked at me, then the rest of my friends and the council then my friends looked also at me.
Then I gave up and spoke.
"I promise to not cause any unnecessary trouble"
Then the tension of the room finally brightened and the president stood up from his chair and walked towards us.
"I really hope you wont prince Yuan, the elven empire will be in shankles if you start trouble" He said and placed his hands on my shoulders.
"ehem. Now thats settled, you guys are seniors of the school so this is just normal to be going out on quests if they are important so dont worry about your classes" He explained.
"haaah...rumors about us the student council are very scary" Karina Meadows said, the council's vice president.
"It makes us scared of ourselves even though we are the student council" also stated by the peace maker, Walter Aqua.
"Thats all we have to say to you, you can start preparing as of now, you will depart by tomorrow." The president said and let us out of the office.
It wasnt that bad, I wonder what they're scared of by the student council.
"I guess they were just bad rumors.." Merin finally breathed.
"That scared the life out of me" Heidrich on the other hand said while panting.
"Im curious though, why would they attach the midnight cross walks, thats a public place where couples usually walks." Leonardo suddenly stated which made us confused.
"huh?"
"What?, I said its where romance usually starts in our empire" He explained.
"Wait what????" We indulged him.
Which he answered most of our rendering questions.
