The eyes of the Dean shone at this, he was excited and joyous. The academy now had a sensational talent, the talents of the top students of other academies paled in comparison to Clifford's talent. He knew they had to nurture Clifford with the best resources, the academy leaders knew they could not afford to let Clifford slip off their hands.
Clifford was definitely the top talented student among the newly enrolled. He became famous in an instant, the news of the sensational student spread like wildfire.
"Why do I have to always be in the lime light." Clifford thought.
He had wanted to keep a low profile, but it seemed like an impossible thing for him. He had to get used to it, he doesn't have a choice.
Soon, the results of the assessment was released. Dora and Benson passed excellently, they were given the golden students badge.
Ada was admitted as a golden student too, she barely passed the requirements.
Hazel was unlucky, she failed the requirements to be admitted as a golden student. Despite having excellent physical attributes, she doesn't have a strong mentality.
Unsurprisingly, Clifford was the only person enrolled as a unique golden student, that was the first time in the history of the academy that a newly enrolled student would be given the unique identity.
When the assessment was over, the students were posted randomly to their hostels. The men's hostel was at the western part of the academy while the women's hostel was at the southern part.
It was mandatory for all the students to stay at the accommodated place the academy provided for them. The academy's environment was the best place for the students, it was rich in mana and other magical resources that would help the students to ease their cultivation.
When Clifford got to the hostel room he was allocated to, he found three guys in the room, they were unpacking and arranging their stuffs.
A young man who had a large body frame came to meet Clifford, the man had his black hair tied into a ponytail. He was about six feet tall and had well defined muscles. He was nineteen years old, two years older than Clifford. He was a golden student.
"Hello mate, am Theodore Longstaff," the man stretched out his hands for an handshake."
"I believe you already know me," Clifford shook his hands and replied with a friendly smile.
"You're famous, everybody knows you," Theodore replied, Clifford only replied with a chuckle.
"Hello guys," Clifford said to the other two guys." Only one of them replied, he was four feet tall, had his hair dyed white. He was a year younger than Clifford, he looked smart but also mischievous. His name was Leonard Wood. He was a silver student.
The other guy was an Asian, a Japanese to be precise. He had not talked to anybody in the room since his arrival, he kept a cold expression on his face all the time. He wore completely black outfits, all his stuffs was even black in color. He was weird and creepy. What made him more creepier was his extremely pale skin and dark eyes. He was a golden student
"Nobody knows his name, he doesn't speak and has been acting weirdly," Theodore said.
"Maybe he can't speak English, or he could be dumb," Leonard said. He walked up to the Asian and poke him with his finger on the ribs. The weird Asian didn't reply, he only turned to look at Leonard with a cold blooded look, Leonard was immediately sacred off.
"That was scary man," Leonard said. He was frightened of the look.
Clifford chuckled and Theodore laughed, they were amused at Leonard's fearful reaction.
"So who's the owner of those stuffs," Clifford noticed the stuffs that was on a bed and asked who the owner is. Each room accommodated five people conveniently.
"We don't know, we found it there, the owner is anonymous."
Theodore answered Clifford.
Immediately Theodore said that, someone barged in to the room by kicking the door. The person had his hands in his pocket and walked in cockily.
When Clifford sighted the person, he shook his head. "How can you be so rude." The person was Benson, he was the owner of the stuffs.
"We meet again brother." Benson pretended to be glad.
"Shut the fuck up, how did you end up in the same room as me." Clifford wasn't deceived by Benson's pretentious expression.
"We were meant to be together mate, It's God's will." Benson pretended to be honest. Clifford didn't say anything but he gave Benson a cold stare,Benson immediately gave in.
"Urghh....Fine, I switched with the person meant to be here."
"How did you get him to switch?" Clifford asked.
"Money.....you can do anything with money mate," Benson replied with a wide grin.
Clifford just scoffed at him. He then went ahead to unpack his stuffs. Everyone one of them had a bed and wardrobe each, there was a kitchen and a restroom for them.
"We should have a look around the academy guys," Leonard suggested after they were done with arranging their stuffs.
"I agree," Benson replied
"Let's go...!" Theodore agreed as well.
"Hey weirdo, come with us." Clifford said to the Asian.
The weird Asian didn't reply, he kept his eye glued to a book he was reading.
"Leave him mate, let's go." Benson dragged Clifford away.
The four of them took a tour around the school, Benson was the one leading them, he was very familiar with the academy.
They were having a walk in the academy's park when a group of guys walked up to them, they were eight in total and the leader of the group was Casper.
"Eiiii.....you need some beating again mate? Clifford asked Casper with a mocking grin. Casper was infuriated by this, he wanted revenge of what Clifford did to him.
"You think you can beat us? We are twice the number you are." Casper sneered.
"You can try," Theodore said while he walked up to Casper, he was way taller than Casper so he had to look down to maintain eye contact with him. Even though Casper was a golden student as well, he was a bit intimidated by Theodore's physique, he took a step back. Theodore had a quite strong reputation in the academy among the newly enrolled because of his Earth element ability, he was ranked among the top ten Earth element mages. His Earth element was crazily strong.
Even though Casper's group was having the advantage in numbers, they had low chance of winning against Clifford's group if a fight was to break out. Clifford himself was powerful enough to take on four of them, Theodore would probably take on two, even Benson could take on two. Casper immediately disposed off the idea of causing mayhem, his group would definitely be the group to lose.
"What? Are you scared of facing us?" Theodore sneered.
"They're a bunch of pussies, they dare not fight us." Leonard said provokingly. Casper was pissed at Leonard for what he said, Leonard was the weakest of Clifford's group yet he was bluffing. Casper detested that kind of people, he love beating them up and teaching them a lesson.
"Boss, let us teach these arrogant bastards a lesson," One of Casper's lackeys couldn't take the insults anymore. Before Casper could reply, a large rocky ball was flung at the lackey, he fainted on the spot.
Theodore scoffed, "so pathetic." Casper's lackeys were infuriated by this, they began to cast spells and were about to retaliate.
Casper's mouth twitched, he was frustrated. He ordered his lackeys to back down. The little confrontation was already attracting crowd of people. He didn't want to lose face and be humiliated again. He left with his lackeys, he swore he would ambush Clifford and his friends when he had more powerful lackeys.
"Yeah....! Go away suckers." Leonard shouted at the receding group and raised his middle finger at them.
Casper was infuriated, he took a good look at Leonard before he left. He had wicked plans for him.
After Casper's group left, Clifford and the others left for the academy's cafeteria to eat. When they got to the cafeteria, they ordered for some snacks. They were enjoying their snacks when two girls entered the cafeteria, they immediately attracted the gazes of all the men in the cafeteria. The first girl was tall and beautiful, she had clear skin that was slightly pale, she wore a short skirt that exposed her sexy thighs.
The second girl was not tall, she had a height of four feet. She looked cute and adorable, her hair tied in to two ponytails at each side of her head. She had her lower lips painted bright red white made her look really attractive. She wore a blouse that showed the cleavage of her round perky boobs. The two girls were there among the top beauties of the academy.
They came right to the table where Clifford and his group was sitting.
