Arthur Leywin POV
"Lucas Wykes will be also a member of the DC." I said as I shake my head.
"Well it's not like he was problem for us. I'm sure even Ellie can defeat him easily, but the problem here is that we will be around him almost all the time. I don't want to deal with that brat." Noah said shaking his head.
"Yeah, let's just hope that Bairon taught him some lesson, just like what he promised to us." I sighed as I hope that Bairon really did.
"What about your speech for tomorrow? Do you have one?" Noah asked, and I just nodded my head.
"The speech weren't a problem for me, but I think I will need to sleep for now. Since I'm sure tomorrow will be a tiring day, and I want to rest my mind for that. Good night." I said as I prepare to take a nap, while Noah chuckled at my words.
"Yeah, sleep well." Noah replied as I fall asleep.
Noah Wilson POV
As I watched Arthur fall asleep, I couldn't help but sighed. Yeah tomorrow will be a tiring day, even I was tempted to take a nap right now.
But, I would do it later after I talk to my father. I make sure that the three of them were in deep sleep, before I make a call.
I took out the communication scroll from my ring, that my father gave me before I left. This artifact can be used as many times as you want, you just need to recharge it with mana. We have five artifacts like this and were all connected, one for me, my father, and grandfather, the other two is in my father, as he was the one who was keeping it.
As I opened the scroll and said my father's name, the face of my father appeared. He smiled as he was looking at me before he speak.
"Good evening Noah! how is your stay over there? I also heard about the report, Is it true that they were there?" He asked.
"Yes, I confirmed it with my own eyes they were here. And their son was the target, I also meet the others during my adventures. While Caera didn't know them except Alice and Reynold, I know all of them. But I'm sure except those two the others didn't know about me." I said a he nodded his head.
"What about mother is she okay?" I asked worriedly.
"Yeah, other than she was in coma she is okay." My father replied, and I can see how my mother's condition affect my father just by looking at his face.
"So do you have a news over there?" I asked as my father nodded.
"Yes. We found out that the enemy is finally making a move. Some of our soldiers is fighting them as we speak, they tried sending some spies to us. " He replied.
"Yeah, I know I already fought some of them." I said as he looked at me.
"You Fought them? Where? When? How? Why you didn't tell us?" My father asked worriedly. "You know how dangerous they are, just by the results of our recent fight against them."
"Don't worry I didn't say I fought against their army or anyone from them." I said. As he sighed in relief, then he tilted his head.
"If you didn't fight against one of them, so who's the one you encountered?" He asked.
"It was a mana beast that they control. We fought against six of them, five at S-class and one at the SS-class. They were already making a move by corrupting the mana beast in here." I said as I saw my father sighed.
"So they are already making a move, that means the war is nearing. So where are you right now?" He asked.
"I was currently attending the academy with the others. But I sense something wrong with the director in here. I sense the same mana our enemy had and I assumed that she was their spy. But the strange thing is she was helping the Dicathen by strengthening their forces." I responded while I saw my father is in deep thoughts.
"If I was the enemy's commander, and the spy I send betrayed us. And helped the one they were spying instead, by creating an academy, then I will launch an attack at the academy to declare a war. And kill those students that they were nurturing, doing that I can weaken their army. and also shatter the hope that the spy created thinking they could save them." My father said as my eyes widen.
"So you're saying."
"Yes. There's a chance that, the academy that you were attending could be targeted by them. I will send some of our soldiers to station near the area so they can help if it really happen." My father said as I nodded my head.
"Okay dad, I'm sorry but I think I need to end our call for now. I want to take a sleep since tomorrow will be a tiring day for me. I want to rest my mind for a bit." I said as my father nodded his head.
"Okay. good night then, sleep well!"
"Yeah, Good night." I replied as I ended the call.
I sighed as I lay beside Sylvie. How troublesome, not only tomorrow, maybe even the rest of my stay here in the academy will be tiring.
As I was caressing Sylvie I also fall asleep.

Arthur Leywin POV
"Art wake up!"
I was woken up by Noah who dragged me out of my bed.
"We need to get ready, and meet the other members of the committee. I and Elijah already finished getting ready, Ellie and Caera is waiting for us." Noah said as I stand up.
"Okay, give me a minute." I said as I walked to the bathroom.
After I finished cleaning myself, I put on the DC uniform. Which is a black uniform with a strap around my chest to put our knife.
Our uniforms were all customized to fit our battle styles. Elijah was wearing a robe I, Noah and Caera, have almost the same styles. While Ellie have a uniform that look like a dress but it was okay for an archer like her.
"I can't wait to see the other members of the DC. How strong do you think they are?" Elijah asked excitedly.
"I don't know, but I talked to princess Kathyln yesterday and she told me, that she will be a member of the DC." Caera said as she also were thinking who was the other members of the DC.
"So If Kathyln was a member, then I'm sure Curtis will be also part of it."Noah said as Caera nodded.
We walked for a while before we arrived at the auditorium. Elijah was the one who step forward to open the door, as soon as he pushed the door open we were greeted by a loud roar from a lion mana beast.
I knew it, I already sense two person and a mana beast, behind the door. As expected they were going to greet us like this.
I'm thankful that, Ellie also knew something like this will happen. So she conjured a wind barrier to block the saliva from reaching us. But Elijah was on the floor because he was startled by their greetings.
"Stand down grawder." Noah ordered, but before the lion can take a step back. Sylvie leap forward smacking his head.
"Kyu!" 'you bad dog!'
"Well that didn't go as planned." A male voice behind the mana beast spoke as he showed himself out.
"We take this as to elaborate how thick our skin was." Caera said as she looked to the boy who planned this greetings.
"Hmm. You could say that. It seems like the director picked up something interesting. To think a child could enter the Academy a part of the DC, nonetheless." He said as he examined us.
"Anyway, my name is Kai crestless, a fourth-year. All of you can just call me Kai." The boy who named Kai introduced himself as we did the same.
"My name is Arthur Leywin a first-year like them, and this is my bond Sylvie." I introduced myself, and point my finger on Sylvie who was on the top of grawder.
"I-i see." he replied
"Bah, another bunch of delicate pretty boys." A deep voice came from our left as we saw a female dwarf leaning on the wall. I can see Elijah's face paled for a moment after seeing the dwarf before coming back to normal.
"Looks like we'll be working together, so I might as well introduce myself. I'm Doradrea Oreguard, a first-year, like yerself. Let's get along, ey?" she said simply while firmly smacking my back, sending a jolt throughout my body. What power.
"Arthur Leywin. Nice to meet you," I replied, rubbing my back.
"Well, come on now! Follow me. Kai and I waited in the front to see who the other members was going to be. But we didn't expect you all of you will arrived here at the same time. The rest of the DC officers are in the other room. Director Goodsky didn't really give us any details so everyone is curious." She led me through a hall, Kai following behind us with the mana beast.
We followed Doradrea, as she pushed the large door open.
"Everyone! They were all here!" She announced and the members inside looked at our directions.
"Pleasure to meet you, my name is Arthur Leywin, and this is my sister Eleanor Leywin. And this is my friends Noah Wilson, Caera Denoir and Elijah knight, and we are all first-year students. Pleasure to meet you." We once again introduced ourselves but this time I was the only one who speak.
"Leywin's? Noah and Caera? So it was you guys I knew it. But who's this Elijah?" A male voice came from the right, and we saw a boy with mahogany hair sitting on the sofa. Opposite him was the blond conjurer that almost all of us were familiar.
Though the four of us were calm, Elijah was barely holding himself. And Ellie didn't know him anyway so she was calm.
"I knew it Curtis you will also be here, since Caera told us that Kathyln will also be member I assumed will also be part of it." Noah said as he and Curtis shake hands.
"It's good to see you guys again. I'm sorry for my actions before and hope all of you forgive me." The blond conjurer that we all know apologize to us sincerely. That shocked us all.
"What the, I didn't expect this. I thought he will be still arrogant as he was before." Elijah said to us in low voice, but I'm sure the others could also hear us. And we all nodded.
"Once again I'm sorry for my past behavior. As you all know my name is Lucas Wykes, a first-year battle mage. And a fire conjurer as most of you know." He introduced himself as he put his hand in front of me. As he examined me curiously.
I accept the handshake. And I hear someone coming down, as we turn our heads we saw the princess of the Sapin kingdom walking down the stairs.
"Nice to meet you once again, Arthur. As for those who didn't know me I'm Kathyln Glayder. A first-year like you and scholar mage student. I am a single specialist conjurer in ice attribute magic." She bowed, her expression set like stone.
"Oya, I couldn't believe you will become an officer like me. Are you sure the director didn't made a mistake?" A familiar voice sounded from the stairs, as I saw a familiar blond elf coming down. With two human students a boy and girl following behind.
The others were shocked as they hear Feyrith's words.
"Yeah you're right, maybe the director made a mistake. To think you were in here Feyfey." I said as I shake my head, while the others laughed at the nickname.
"I-i told you for a million times don't call me like that!!" Feyrith said his face were red from embarrassment.
"But, it's good to see you again my rival." He said as he put his arm around my shoulder."want to do the usual?"
"Rival?" Ellie asked tilting her head.
"As much as I want to, but we can't maybe later. Guys I want you to meet my friend, Feyrith Ivsaar, Feyfey meet my sister Ellie, and my friends Noah, Caera, and Elijah." I said as Feyrith yelled at me once again.
"I told you to not call me like that! Anyway, as he said my name is Feyrith Ivsaar, a pleasure to meet the all of you." He said as he put his hand forward, and the others accept the handshake.
"I guess I'm next, although the order is off! My name is Claire! Claire Bladeheart. After the new changes in the school grade system, I'm considered a sixth-year battle mage student with dual attribute in fire and wind, and I'm also the vice-captain of the disciplinary committee! I'm an augmenter like yourself, so just ask me if you have any questions! And this is Theodore Maxwell" the red haired girl introduced herself then pointed her finger to the last member.
"Bladeheart, are you perhaps related to Kaspian Bladeheart?" I questioned.
"Oh? Do you know my uncle?" She tilted her head to one side.
"Yeah, I sparred against him one time." I said.
"I see. Well, I received training from my uncle as soon as I had awakened so many of my techniques are similar to his. Of course, I still have a long way to go, though." I saw her place a hand on the golden hilt of the rapier strapped on her left side.
"It seems like the DC has stooped low enough to recruit twerps." Theodore stood up and I swore I thought he was a bear. He stood at about two meters high at least, easily around the same height as Grawder. His uniform was just a vest that was unbuttoned, revealing his bulging muscles. By the tear marks on the arm openings of the vest, I could assume it wasn't originally designed as a vest.
He stood in front of Noah as he placed his hand in Noah's shoulder, I can see him using a gravity magic to test Noah. But Noah overcome it easily like it was nothing.
"It seems like there more to see than your faces." He said as he walked in front of me. Before he could put his hand on my shoulder, I put mine on his shoulder and used gravity magic.
He tried to fight against it using his own. But mine is stronger and he dropped to the floor. The others were shocked except my group and Feyrith, at the display of my strength, and from the corner of my eye, I can see Lucas was excited after witnessing my powers.
"I'm sure it wasn't only you who was allowed to test us so I do the same." I said as I looked at them. "Anyway let us introduce ourselves once again. Ellie you first."
"My name is Eleanor Leywin, a first-year battle mage student. I'm an augmenter at the dark-red stage specialty with bow, With fire and wind attributes."
"My name is Elijah knight, a first year battle mage student. I'm a conjurer at the solid-orange stage, specialization in earth magic."
"My name is Caera Denoir, a first year battle mage student. An augmenter at the light-yellow stage, Fire attribute with longsword."
"My name is Noah Wilson, a first year battle mage student. I'm an augmenter at the light-yellow stage, with earth and fire attributes, specialization in spears."
"My name is Arthur Leywin, a first-year scholar mage student. I'm also an augmenter at the light-yellow stage, with an attributes to earth and wind along with their deviances, With specialization in swordplay." As I introduced myself everyone were shocked except my group, and Feyrith.
"I'm also the captain of this rag-tag group called the Disciplinary committee. Let's get along!"
