While Headmaster Garcia was talking Blake and the others reached back down in the lobby. As Blake was looking around he heard someone call Harold. Blake turned back and saw 3 people walking toward them. There was one man, a woman, and a boy the same age as him. The man and the kid had silver hair with blue at the ends. The woman had Black hair. The common thing among all three of them was they wore earrings with snowflake designs on them.
Harold rolled his eyes and said "Just when I thought today would be a happy day..."
The silver-haired man gave a mocking expression as well and said "Getting your kids admitted in a junior academy doesn't count as a good day, Harold. Hmph learn to have bigger goals"
The Black haired woman gave her husband a glare and said "Stop behaving like kids both of you. You aren't in the academy anymore. You both have kids now."
Anya also scolded her husband "Harold what happens to you every time in front of Andrew?"
"Why are you scolding me, honey? This chunk of ice came to me" Harold said grinning at Andrew Frost.
"Not a word more Harold. Apologize to him now." Anya said in a stern tone. Blake was a bit surprised to see Harold acting childish like this. He looked at Arya and asked "What's the beef between the two of them?"
Arya waved her hand and said "The Blaze and Frost clan have been in Shell city for centuries and their rivalry is older than that. And the only reason is that one has an Ice attribute while the other has fire attribute." Blake nodded as he heard that. Both of these elements were the polar opposite so it wasn't too much of a surprise when they want to compare each other.
Simon came close to Blake and said "Though it was a serious rivalry from so many centuries, for the past few generations it has been a healthy competition but still dad and Uncle Andrew keep the rivalry alive through words."
Blake had a confused expression as he asked "Uncle Andrew?"
"Oh yes, I forgot. His wife is Aunt Elena who is Mother's cousin and they are also best friends." Simon said pointing toward the black-haired woman.
By this time the banter between Harold and Andrew had calmed down but both were still giving each other glares. Elena then looked at Blake and said "You must be Blake. Anya told me so much about you. And you must be Sheila. Nice to meet you. I am Elena Frost." Elena greeted Blake and then Sheila. Sheila also returned her greeting and the woman continued chatting.
Harold looked at the kid beside Andrew and asked "Alan, how are you? Anya told me that your soul spirit is an Ice spear with the innate ability to fire spikes."
Alan who was well-behaved like his mother quickly said "Yes Uncle Harold I got Ice spear just like Grandma. I also got selected in S-class."
Hearing S-class Andrew quickly said "See that Harold. He got into the S-class already." and smirked.
Harold couldn't help but develop a sly smile on his face as he said "Arya also got into S-class Andrew as well as my student Blake." Harold signaled Blake to come forward.
Andrew tilted his head and looked at Blake "Little Blake what made you become this idiot's student? Don't let his scholarly appearance fool you."
Blake tried to stop his laughter while Arya started laughing loudly. Harold had an embarrassed expression seeing that his own daughter is laughing at him. Elena who was talking with Anya and Sheila looked at Andrew and held his hand pressing it together. Blake could hear the sound of bones crackling and Andrew had a pained expression as he begged in a low voice.
"Honey I am sorry...really sorry...let go please"
'She must be a knight to just make his bones crackle by holding hands' Blake thought.
"Let's not waste time and collect the supplies. Once the test of the students finishes, it will get crowded." Anya said and Elena nodded.
"Yea we will be equally late for shopping as well. Elena, why don't you join us for shopping?" Sheila asked.
"Of course, shopping is like therapy for me." Elena said and the women laughed.
"And punishment to us" Andrew and Harold muttered. This was the only thing they both could agree upon.
Andrew then asked Harold "Why did Simon get B-class? I am sure with the soul spirit he has he won't have a problem with getting admitted in S or A-class."
Harold made a proud expression and said "Simon wanted to major in R&D rather than combat so the headmaster thought that B-class would be best suited and he will be able to focus on R&D"
Andrew looked at Simon and said "You sure are your father's son huh, Simon. Good all three of my children are battle maniacs."
Simon chuckled and said "Uncle we also have one" he said while pointing toward Arya.
Alan who was quiet the whole time walked ahead and stood in front of Arya and Blake "Hi I am Alan frost. In the future, we will be classmates so I hope we will get along."
Arya greeted him back and said "Do you want to fight?" Her battle maniac eyes were back and Blake couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes I would like that. I hate to study but mom makes me do it. I hope we can sparr become the academy starts." he then looked at Blake and said
"Hi Blake, I would like to fight you as well."
Blake shrugged and said "Sure, I and Arya are going to sparr today anyways. You can join if you want."
A smile appeared on Alan's face as he heard that and he looked back at his father for permission.
Andrew asked "Harold after we leave the academy why don't we go back to your mansion and let these kids fight. I don't want to accompany these women while they are shopping."
Harold nodded and said "I was about to suggest that."
