Knock, Knock,.... " Master Eregn it's time to go sir. "
Eregn woke up to the sun shining through his window, he was covered in sweat he couldn't believe the dream he had, to him it felt so real he got out of bed and open the door to a middle age man in a all black suit with black gloves, a bald head with gold rimmed glasses with a grey goatee and stern look standing there.
Eregn started to smile immediately and hugged the man.
"Crowley ! " A warm smile emerged from Crowley face and he returned the hug back.
" Master Eregn you grown into a fine young man I just wish you were returning home on better circumstances." Crowley had been the family butler for as long as he could remember, he was even there the day Eregn was born and spent much time looking after him when his mother died and when his father would leave to go on expeditions,if anything he was more like a grandfather to Eregn always giving him wisdom, playing games with him and cheering him up when he was sad.
Crowley look Eregn up and down and could see bruises and cuts on him along with him drenched in sweat.
" Master Eregn have you been having a rough time at school ? " pointing to the black eye he had on his face. Eregn reached for his face, he was so tired from yesterday he didnt even clean up.
" I guess Veera only healed my fatal injuries. " thought Eregn.
Eregn smiled at Crowley " This..this just came from training." Crowley began to frown slightly and sigh.
" Young Master Eregn I have been around a long time and i have known you your whole life no matter how long you have been away and one thing you cannot do is lie to me, now go get yourself cleaned up while I gather your things.
" Eregn nodded his head and heading for the bathroom while Crowley used his spatial ring to store all of Eregn books and clothes away.
Stepping into the bathroom Eregn look at himself in the mirror.
" It's no wonder Crowley look so worried I look like shit." thought Eregn he soon hopped in the shower, brushed his teeth, then got dressed, Crowley was standing waiting on Eregn outside the dorm room.
Eregn took one last look at the room and closed the door.
" Master Eregn the car is waiting outside "
Crowley and Ergen made their way outside to a fancy black car that had glowing white inscriptions on it that powered the car it could even drive itself Eregn eyes popped out of his head at the sight of it
"Woah ! Crowley where did this come from ?"
" Well young Master Eregn over the last couple of years your father hard work paid off exploring all those islands and collecting a vast amount of artifacts, scrolls and research has increased your family wealth tenfold." Eregn couldn't believe it, Crowley an Eregn entered the car after that Crowley placed his hand on a white crystal in the middle of the car muttered a incantation the car immediately started up then began to drive.
" Crowley if my father increased the family wealth why did he go to the newly discovered island ? "
Crowley places his fingers on his face in tandem with rubbing his goatee thinking.
" Well to tell you the truth, I often wonder about this myself, your father was a man of mystery and often was lost in his work like he was desperately looking for something like it was the last piece to complete his research it was more like a obsession.
" Eregn nodded his head understanding he knew what his father was like it was where he got his studious nature from himself always observing looking for answers to the unknown.
" Did father leave anything you think I could use to make a breakthrough to advance my magic ? " Eregn asked with a glimmer of hope in his eye, Crowley began to smiled while also reaching in his coat pocket before pulling out a black key.
" Before your father left, he gave me the key to his study and told me to give it to you...its almost like he knew he might not return... furthermore I believe there maybe something in there you could use." Crowley handed the key to Eregn, he stared at the key before tucking it into his pocket.
" Also Crowley weren't you a Spellknight when you were younger ? " Crowley began to grin as he reminisced on his past " Why yes Master Eregn I was a pretty decent one at that why do you ask ? "
Eregn fist tightened up as he stared out the window.
" I would like you to train me in self defense and teach me some combat techniques as much as you can for the next two months, I need to know everything I can to be able to pass the entry exams." Crowley nodded his his head and clapped his hands together.
" Yes of course Master Eregn I will train you the best I can I shall make a Knight out of you yet." The car slowly came to a halt stopping at a huge silver gate with E and B letters in gold plates on it, Eregn eyes slowly lit up as he watch the gate open to a huge mansion surrounded by trees with a huge driveway, the mansion was three stories, sitting on thirty acres of land with a elegant yet old fashion grey and white with gold on the windows, doors and stairs.
" Wow ! guess father has been busy, the family house looks amazing it's even bigger then i remember !"
" Ah yes Master Eregn your father made many renovations to the house while you were away, your room I believe is on the second floor third door to the right and the key to the room is on the very top floor fifth door on the left." Eregn nodded his head as they exited the car.
" Also here is a spatial ring for your belongings once you get settled we will talk about when your training will start." Crowley handed Eregn a silver ring with a blue stone in it with blue inscriptions.
Eregn took a deep breath and made his into the huge mansion.
" I'm finally home. " thought Eregn.
