Adam, Omar and Lucius remained in the classroom, making small talk. Hearing Lucius thoughts on a lot of matters left Omar even more surprised, "Sigh he really was born to rule", Omar thought to himself. The way Lucius talked carried the essence of a monarch without being to overbearing, Omar knew that Lucius would be someone important in the future, just from this moment alone he knew Lucius was destined for greatness, his only regret was not having a daughter to engage to Lucius. Although Omar was a part of the King family, bloodline families such as the King's practiced marriage between family members, this is not only to keep their future child bloodline pure but to preserve the bloodline as well. As the conversation carried on more parents arrived with their children, some of the more important individuals who arrived greeted the patriarch and Omar and joined in the conversation, it was customary for a parent or relative to drop the child on the first day. Seeing more people beginning to enter Adam and Omar silently came to the decision to end the conversation and wait on the new arrivals.
As the classroom became full, Omar then went to the front and spoke. "Hello everyone, let me be short, as members of the king family we already have an advantage over ordinary folks, but even then everyone here is considered someone with exceptional talent, who would take up the mantle as the future leaders of King Family, you are the future don't let us down". Hearing this some children smirked with a hint of arrogance, some showed an indifferent expression while show a proud smile on their faces. Although Omar knew this would make these children somewhat arrogant within the future, it was important to build their self-confidence as well. Now although each of you are talented the world isn't fair, and let me first began by seeing what level each one of you are currently at. Everyone at this point showed excited expressions, hailed as geniuses since birth, there were always eager to compete with other geniuses of the family to see where they stand, even though this was happening around him one child still maintained his indifferent expression, Lucius hearing this from the corner, simply didn't care. The only reason he was here today was to establish his dominance and prestige among the younger generation, these were the future elders and managers of the family, and he needed to leave an impact on them from an early age. It was easier to accept someone who you knew was always stronger than you as leader, than someone who just showed up out of nowhere and took the position. Although it was always said Lucius was prodigy, outsiders weren't sure to what extent, Adam understood this and wanted to use the class as a means to show Lucius superiority to everyone, while Lucius also knew the importance of keeping subordinates in line by making them submit.
"The event would take place as a small fighting competition, they are twenty of you present today, so you'll be split into two groups, where brackets would be formed until the winners of both groups fight against each other to determine the winner" Adam continued. In the back a girl with long blond hair was listening attentively, but her eyes were darting around scanning the room seemingly looking for someone this was Mary. Mary and her father arrived after Omar and Adam ended the conversation, so she wasn't able to ascertain who the famous Lucius was. Hearing that a tournament was going to be taking place she was excited, after the initial pressure to be the top of the class put on her by her parents and family was taken away due to the presence of Lucius. She felt relaxed and simply wanted to do her best, as normal six year this was very common, with such a huge amount responsibilities she held up until recently it was obvious that she would be stressed out of her mind. "Now parents and guardians, if you have any questions, I'd appreciate if you ask now". As most of them were top level members of the family they knew this was the usual procedure, for the other members who weren't as well connected and came for the first time, they didn't want to embarrass their child by asking unnecessary questions. Seeing that no one had any questions Omar nodded, as soon as he was about to come off the stage, a tiny hand place their hand within the air seeing who the hand belong to, he had a soft smile on his face and said go ahead Lucius. "Sir I believe it would be better if everyone were to just challenge me together, it would save more time as well". Although Lucius knew Adam and his original intentions for coming here, he couldn't help but be annoyed as they were no one hear could peak his interest. Therefore in a bid to save time, he decided to propose this, he had no time to waste he didn't enjoy feeling so weak when he knew that he knew a path to gain power was right in front of him. Hearing his words Omar wasn't displeased in the slightest nor angry, he knew from the conversation prior Lucius was already a beginner tester already, so no matter how much the compete they could never be Lucius' competition. Although he knew this the other children and their guardians didn't, everyone else in the room wore displeased expressions at this point except one girl, whose eyes twinkled in excitement? "So that's Lucius".
