8 years later Rezekiel's POV,
I've been living with Odessa's family for 8 years now. To say the truth it has been fun. Mr. Denzel said my aunt disappeared and that it was okay I was dating Odessa. We have gotten pretty close she's my girlfriend.
We practiced together, went to middle school at 13 together pretty much a lot.
I also learned a new technique. My path and Odessa's are the same at this point. Today my system unlocks I've been keeping an eye on it lately.
"Let's go we'll be late for school!" Odessa shouted.
"Relax I'll be there"Rezekiel replied.
Rezekiel approached Odessa quietly and covered her eyes " Guess who"
"Rezekiel cut it out not in front of mom," Odessa said.
"Go on to school there is a carriage waiting outside," Mrs. Adriana said.
The children got in the carriage and left off waving to their parents.
"Today's the day for registration, hope you two pass it's never easy, y, especially the aptitude test. I hear the principal will be there today." the driver told Rezekiel and Odessa.
"This is going to be interesting" Rezekiel muttered.
In the afternoon, the driver stopped the carriage, "We're here, best of luck you two," the driver encouraged.
They both got off to see the grandiose Royal Academy. It was bustling with students. It was separated into three sections, Warrior Academy, Mage Academy, and Sword Magician Academy.
"So which one will you join?" Odessa questioned.
"I'll go to Sword Magician Academy" Rezekiel replied.
"Did you read my mind?" she said.
"For the last time I'm not telepathic, yet" he replied.
They both entered the same section for the test.
"Stop right there!! Yes! Yes! You peasants!" a voice called as a youth with red hair, brown eyes, and a royal outfit with an insignia on it.
"What is it?"Rezekiel asked
"Get out! You're not allowed in here!!" the youth shouted rudely.
"We have much right to be here to compete as you do," Rezekiel said.
"I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget if you don't beg like a dog for forgiveness and give me the beauty beside you," the youth expressed his anger. All the other contestants were staring at the situation going on,
"SILENCE!! THE TEST BEGINS NOW!!" the Principal appeared with a domineering aura making it difficult to breathe. Everyone made three straight lines to be tested. One line for aptitude, another for magic quality, and the last for physical strength.
"If you know you will not pass, just get out," the principal said eyeing some people in the crowd."Then allow me to do the honors," he said lifting the people he saw and flinging them out and closing the gate sighing.
"As for the rest of you, do your best," he said looking at Rezekiel and Odessa."We have prepared food and a place to stay during this period," he added while sitting down to judge the participants.
Even after he sat down he kept eyeing Rezekiel and Odessa with interest. It was finally Rezekiel's turn for the test.
"Rezekiel approaches the podium and places your hand on the crystal," the tester said.
Rezekiel placed his hand on the crystal and a dark red glow was seen. His results were:
Name: Rezekiel
Aptitude: Red
Magic Level: Stage 1 Level 5
Strength: 800 pounds
"A genius has appeared, our academy is blessed again," the principal said
It was Odessa's turn to be tested.
Name: Odessa
Aptitude: Yellow
Magic Level: Stage 1 Level 5
Strength: 600 pounds
Someone nobody noticed was Varden who had golden hair and blue eyes.
"Up next is Varden from Holy Knight Middle School of Elf Kin,gdom," the tester said praising him. He walked to the podium majestically.
Name: Varden Lockhart
Aptitude: Red
Magic Level: Stage 1 Level 3
Strength: 500 pounds
"The heavens have blessed us, again,n," the tester said.
At the end of the test, slightly over 100 people passed. The rest were disqualified.
"Today's test is over, your room keys will be given to you. See you tomorrow," the principal gave a smile Rezekiel's way then disappeared.
"What do you think about tomorrow's test?"Odessa asked.
"I'm not sure it might be better or worse" Rezekiel replied.
They got their room key from a person handing them out.
"We're in the same room, what a coincidence," Odessa said excited,
"No, it's not. The principal planned this. He was eyeing us the entire time," Rezekiel explained.
"How did I not notice this?" she asked as they went to their room.,
"Hey, beauty, why don't you hang with me instead of this peasant?" Varden said approaching the two and interrupting Rezekiel.
"Buzz off" Rezekiel quickly changed his tone.
not boss. Watch yourself peasant! You don't even have a weapon," Varden said reaching for his sword.
"I challenge you to a duel for the beauty" Varden added.
"Sure, I accept"
"Darling, go easy o,n him," Odessa said worriedly.
"I intended to anyway," he said to Odessa. "And you! If I win you leave us alone,"
"Sure, whatever you say," Varden said not serious.
They looked for a teacher to accept their duel and approached the duel ring.
Varden took out his sword and prepared himself. Rezekiel stood there unfazed with no clear expression on his face.
"Is this kid crazy? He's gonna die if he's not serious," the teacher thought worriedly.
The arena was filled with students ready to see a battle between geniuses.
"Begin!" the teacher shouted.
Varden rushed to Rezekiel sword at hand. Rezekiel's eyes glowed with a tinge of red as a dense sword intent gathered on his hand forming a bloodthirsty sword as he too rushed. Immediately before they clashed the principal appeared in between the two with an overwhelming intent making both stop in their tracks.
"DUELS ARE TOMORROW'S TEST!!! I DON'T NEED THIS NONSENSE ANYMORE!!!GO REST NOW!!" the Principal ordered.
The students dispersed as Varden and Rezekiel stopped their attacks and glanced at each other with killing intent and dispersed.

In Rezekiel's room,
Rezekiel and Odessa just finished taking a shower ready for each other's embrace. They both got under the blanket and enjoyed each other's company and slept
★★★
In Varden's room,
" I will kill Rezekiel if it's the last thing I do! Will you join me, Alexander?" Varden told the youth in a red royalty outfit with an insignia.
"Sure, we've been buddies since 5. I think I met this Rezekiel this morning," Alexander said.
They spent the night concocting a plan for Rezekiel and slept.
