Within the outer perimeter of the dense forest a group of shrieks and howls kept ringing throughout while sounds of metal clashing echoed, balls of fire, pillars of water and many more elements and skills were being thrown around burning and damaging the surrounding trees and dense vegetations.
The poor herbs were being burned and destroyed, Nico would cry if he ever saw these herbs being burned.
"Nico's arm is torn!" A loud voice shouted coming from a young girl seemingly in her teen years, her name was Mika, she wore a white uniform that had an emblem on the left of her chest, the same goes for the rest of the group.
Hearing the scream everyone turned to see Mika holding a boy with his arm torn and had countless bite marks on his body.
Everyone shuddered seeing the arm a meter away from the boy they gulped and swallowed their saliva due to the severed limb and countless bite marks on the boy, "Healers heal him! We'll hold off these wolves" A boy in the lead commanded, he was the group's leader and Nico's cousin, he held a shield on his left and a sword on right.
Awooo! Wolves with razor sharp iron teeth rushed towards the man, "Heh" The boy scoffed raising his sword high it glowed brightly, the wolves jumped towards the man with their mouths ready to eat him, being in the air the wolves couldn't evade, the man smirked and slashed his blade easily cutting the wolves in two with their weak defence.
The other wolves stepped back and hesitated seeing their fellow brethren slain almost effortlessly, they growled loudly and showing their sharp iron teeth trying to intimidate the group.
Hearing his shout the group quickly obeyed, a handsome looking young man with blue hair and held a wooden staff with both hands walked towards the body with a reluctant expression but seeing his cousin's body lifelessly laying on the ground he shook his head and walked forward, the smell of blood was very new to him and the group of youngsters.
Mika laid the boy on the ground and grabbed the torn arm and placed it on the body's shoulder, the young man closed his eyes and pointed his staff towards the boy and casted a healing skill, from the tip of the staff a green light enveloped the boy slowly reattaching the severed arm to the body. 'Nico I had to persevere just to heal you so you better not die on me now! I don't know how to face auntie and uncle if you die!'
The healer hurriedly checked the boy's heartbeat his eyes widened hearing weak beats, he gritted his teeth and shouted "I think we need to send him back!" the man leading the group had his brows furrowed. "Quickly someone rush him to the camp he might still make it if we call an instructor! Damian go!"
A boy named Damian nodded being the fastest one of the group he was the best choice, he sheethed his two daggers and hurriedly dashed to the lifeless body and carried it on his back, he quickly sprinted to where the camp is located rushing out of the forest, he felt very reluctant to carry the body with the smell of blood still emanating from it but he persevered and tried to ignore the smell and carried it on his back.

In a grassy plain located hundreds of meters outside the forest, hundreds of big tents were set up, a group of adults wearing the same uniforms and emblems with the group within the forest but with certain distinctive features that exhibit a higher status, they each sat in a circle of the table and were casually chatting with eachother.
"Instructors I need help!" Hearing the shrill cry of what seemed to be a young man echoed through the plains, they turned to look at where the shout came from and saw a young man in the distance carrying a body on his back that reeked of blood.
Their eyes widened and many quickly rushed to aid the boy, they brought the body to a tent and laid him on a comfy bed, the tent was filled with countless of high tech equipment, unlike in during Nico's time these equipment were improved while some where newly invented.
Being very spacious, the medical tent could easily fit hundreds, and so the group of instructors surrounded the boy with worried expressions hoping he would be fine, their reputation was on the line.
"Jenny you heal him quickly! You're the only doctor here." One of the instructor spoke, the instructor named Jenny nodded and walked to the side of the bed, she pointed both her palms towards the body and casted a healing skill, a green light quickly enveloped the body.
They checked his vitals and did everything in their power to help this boy recover, the pressure was on, this was also no ordinary boy.
This boy came from a very wealthy family that hold great control within this planet placing added pressure onto intructor Jenny.
At this moment unbeknownst to the instructors the boy they were treating had long since died and a wandering soul had already entered the body, from the outside the boy's body had finally operated and they could feel the body's heartbeat. They thought instructor Jenny was able to heal the boy and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright I'll stay here to keep checking the boy, call the others students back to the camp I think we were being to complacent, we can't let this happen again." Instructor Jenny suggested, the instructors agreed and nodded, they dashed outside the tent and called the intructors that were dispatched to aid the students within the forest.
"I hope this will be the last time this will happen." Jenny prayed, she was very friendly to students within the academy and didn't like to see her lovely students getting hurt.

Deep within the boy's mind two entities were having a chat, it was Reika and Nico.
"Host congratulations, you have finally reincarnated!" Nico could hear clapping noises within the mind as if Reika was clapping and celebrating.
"Finally got reincarnated... ah Reika please access my legacy for me"
"No problem host... accessing legacy"
"I wonder how the world has changed from my absence" Nico's mind was wandering around but hearing Reika's response he snapped out from his imagination, "Host you will be able to access your legacy within three days"
"Tree days? Can you shorten it please?"
"Don't be impatient host and wait three days" Nico frowned, well his soul frowned.
"Okay..." He responded, he may be impatienr but he has no choice but to wait three day.

"Hmm...?" Opening his eyes Nico saw a bright white light that blocked his sights but slowly the light disappeared and was able to see very clearly, he smiled and looked at both his hands and clenched and unclenched them to get the feeling.
'Argh!' A painful headache caused him to almost scream in agony, it was too sudden. "Don't worry host the memories of this body is merely merging with your memories, just keep hanging on" Both hands on his head Nico gritted his teeth trying to bear the pain, [Mana Control]
Deep within his body mana slowly oozed from his skin creating a dark blue aura engulfing his whole body, with the mana he hardened his body's structure easing the pain.
After a few minutes of trying not to scream in pain, "Host the past body's memories have fully integrated with your memories" beads of sweat dripped from his head, his breathing was rough like he had just fought in a life and death battle.
He controlled his rough breathing and wiped his sweat, he spun his shoulders and arms with a bright smile on his face, he looked very childish but he didn't care, his first concern is getting the hang of his new body after reincarnation, he laid on a comfy bed within a massive tent with other unoccupied beds scattered throughout the tent, he turned to his right and saw a beautiful lady with her head laying on the bed, he was fully immersed within his own world that he hadn't notice the sleeping beauty beside him.
She had long silky black hair, she had a slender body with jade-like skin, it was instructor Jenny, Nico peeked at her huge breasts and gulped, he smirk and thought 'Nice' Nico subconsciously had his hand moving towards it ready to grab it. "Host stop being a pervert." Before he could grab them Reika scolded him which made his hand stop dead in it's tracks.
He regained his senses pulling his hand back and rebutted Reika, "But I'm mostly on the battlefield and rarely even get to see beautiful women... well except if I went to the king's palace that is."
"But that doesn't mean you should assault women in their sleep." Nico wanted to open his mouth but no word came out so he shut it and didn't say a word, he looked around and grabbed his blanket pulling it to the side and stood from the bed.
Talking his first steps he almost stumbled, it felt like learning to walk all over again, he chuckled seeing himself failing to walk properly.
Walking for a few minutes within the tent he finally got the hang of things, though he could walk perfectly fine but running was still a challenge in itself.
Nico walked towards the sleeping beauty beside his bed, grabbing the blanket he covered her body with it, "I wouldn't like seeing beautiful women getting sick do I" Nico smirked
He then casually walked outside the medical tent in a nonchalant manner as if he was never in a near death state in the first place, if any of the instructors saw him like this they'd most likely be stunned.
At this time it was already the afternoon and it was turning dark outside, so he wanted to exercise knowing the exams have yet to conclude.
