Prof Rayven continue to call out the groups of five names and assign them their leaders. Eventually, Xander's time arrived as they were called one by one.
"Squad 11, Aston Caden, Ethan Avalon, Raya Xavier, Claire Hart and Xander Vinn." Prof Rayven announced while one after another step forward and gather in one place. "Your leader will be Ethan Avalon."
Ethan was one of the three dual saber users, he was quite strong and he was among of the few who had proven themselves strong, he had also given a challenge to Xander inside the arena.
After they have been called out, they were sent in a specific room waiting for more instructions. Inside the room they found other groups sat in different areas and looks like they were discussing. They did the same as they went in one of the empty areas and sat together.
Their was an awkward situation as no one who started a talk. This proceed for some time until Ethan clear his throat to attract attention of his fellow students. Eventually everyone turn their heads to look at him.
"Okey. I think it will be good if we use this time to introduce ourselves with our arcana." Ethan announced while stand up from his seat. "Besides my name is Ethan Avalon with ice arcana."
They look at each before a purple haired girl stand up. "My name is Raya Xavier, a weather arcana user."
"I am Aston Caden with energy blast arcana."
"I am Claire Hart, Fire arcana user."
A moment of silence pass while everyone was waiting for the last member to introduce himself. Xander was sitting confident on his chair looking at somewhere at a space until Claire snaped him from behind.
"What the hel.....!" Xander was forced to interrupt his sentence since he found everyone starring at him. "Why do everyone look at me like this?"
"It seems our friend here was somewhere else." Ethan said in a bored tone. "Beside we have already known him, lets move on with the next thing."
Originally, Xander wasn't thinking or anything as they thought, he was looking at his system screen as he has receive a new notification.
[Quest received]
[Reach the next evolution]
[Reward:???]
'What's wrong with this damn system? It's just left me in dilemma.' Xander cursed in his mind as he blame the one who created the system since it's not elaborating it just state and just left him with more questions than answers.
Eventually, Prof Rayven entered the room, the room went silence as everyone wait for Professor to continue. For some reason Xander could see the room was full of students now, he even wondered at what time did they get in since he hadn't notice them. His fellow squad members had discussed a lot though he is not sure if he has listen to any of it.
It was just their first day but Xander had already made himself a bad reputation, he hasn't share his opinion or comment in their discussion, even his presence was likely to be absent.
"You had enough time to discuss and understand each other." Prof Rayven announced. "Tomorrow you will all leave for hunting, we will meet in the ASSEMBLY HALL, but before that you should head in the weapon cllass and pick your weapons. Be ready."
Prof Rayven announced and left them be. Since it was a day before their first hunt, it was left to be a free day. Most of the students went outside the academy for shopping, others for their own sake.
The academy was more like empty since their was no students crossing the academy, even the Guardian were nowhere to be seen. It was hard to tell if they were around or totally absent, but for sure there were no sounds or any kind of disturbance.
Though in one of the alleyway a certain girl could be seen walking alone, toward a Weapon Class. She used to flick her fingures and form some type of fire balls on her hand time to time while playing with them. But when she reached a Weapon Class, she heard a sound of clashing weapons, she quickly sneaky and peek through a window.
Inside she could see a certain someone with dual sabers fighting with the one using a great sword, at first she thought they were training but as time goes on she could tell this wasn't a training anymore, first they were not taking rest and their strikes were becoming more powerful at each swing.
On the otherside, Xander was pushing so hard which makes even Prof Brody to use more power so that he can match Xander. The truth was not that he has strong determination but because every swing he made, it will improve his sword skills as he can see his numbers go up.
[Master of dual sabers]
[Level 3]
[37%]
'This boy... everyday we met he keeps growing stronger than the last time.' Prof Brody thought. 'I have met talented students in all the years I've spent here but none was at this pace. Let's see your limit.'
He continue to push Xander more and more but Xander continue to block and attack perfectly with the right momentum but then a door suddenly opened wide and a girl could be seen enter the room.
"What happening here?" Claire shouted as she gather what looks like fire balls in her both hands ready to defend and attack. When Xander looked at her, he felt a pain from his abdomen and before he realize he was sent fly in the air but he randomly spin before land on the ground. It was a powerful hit he had ever receive from anyone.
"You should not lose your concetration even for a little bit." Prof Brody claimed. "You should not give a chance to your enemy, he won't hesitate to exploit. You could have dead by now"
Claire was left speechless with that interraction infront of her own eyes, the fire balls on her hands start to fade a little.
"Were you training...? But how...you seem like fighting?" She asked, this time her fire balls were completely diappeared from her hands. But Xander was quit all this time as he was wondering.
'It's going more slow as I level it up. How do I fix this pace?
