Chapter intro
"It's been over ten years since my little town grew into this huge city it had become. My friends from the old Alliance and I've decided to create a school system for the entire continent. This was to unite all the countries and Kingdoms to share protection for next generation. My children, Girard and Beilz grew into well behaved teenagers. The years have been wonderful with Dianna and now I'm in my 30's but I've not aged physically. I'm talking a bit to much I know, and you're right this part of my story isn't about me. No this part is about my son Girard and his adventures so enjoy everyone!'
Chapter 10
My father for the last decade made sure my sister and I were well trained in both magic and martial arts. I've been hearing ever since my birth that he was a special man. That he was from another world and was summoned here to this one as a sacrifice. He became a legend to most but a good friend to the rest of this world. From his memories I got to see a lot of his world from the good and the bad.
I am now 13 years old and I'm sitting In my new class for the 1st time this year. I was placed in a lower class because my lack of magic power. I didn't really care since I was physically strong. Father would train me for months on end on my physical power always saying. "With A strong body comes to Crown works for greater power." He was the strongest person I knew even for being a human. His own siblings my aunt Kenna and uncle Brad would tell me about his feets over and over.
Still being the only Royal kid stuck in a lower class was botherson. For every school or Academy there was 7 levels per year. Mine being E1 class 107 and the top of the classes being S10 class 707. My sister and my cousin sin and Kenneth were among those classes. I had a few friends in fact only 2. One named Dean vampiroOne named Dean Vampiro Who was my best friend and the Prince of the vampires.
We've been friends since I was 8 and the other friend being Lee. She was a golem, I met her during the test with those tests putting us In our classes. Which my friends were in 2 different class ranks above me one in C1 and the other in C2. For the most part this 1st day was decent. No one was really bothering me or my sister. As the bell For lunch, I got up brushed my pants off and I headed to the cafeteria. When I got there I saw my sister sitting with Dean. I got my lunch and I set next to my sister and she smiled at me.
Everyone else besides my friends didn't like Me sitting with her. When I saw everyone flaring at me, I said out loud. "These people don't know who I am to you sister." Beilz scuffed and said back to me.
"Everyone seems to like a bit to much. it's actually kind of disturbing with them not knowing that i'm your twin brother." She patted my head a before she got up to meet a few of her new friends. Everyone looked away an I laughed with Dean. Till that was when Lee came and sat with us. She thought that were insane with how we were laughing together. I told her why we were doing that and she understood.
"My sister is the popular kid in the school." Lee gave me a weird look, she didn't know who I was talking about for a moment till Dean said. "You do know this is Girard, He's the son of Jacob Willow and Princess Dianna, you know the hero of that great war? His sister is Beilz the schools darling or what the girls call her." Dean said to Lee and she looked at me with new eyes. "Then why are you in a lower class then, shouldn't you be in the same class as Beilz?" She asked me and I got up fast from my seat. I then left and Dean told her why I was upset.
"He doesn't have magic like his sister, He's only been able to cast a simple light spell." Lee looked at Dean shocked that I didn't have any magic. "He's a half demon and royalty shouldn't he have impressive amounts of magic?" She said and Dean told her that we were Twins and that I was the oldest but Beilz got all the magic talent. Lee shook her head in disappointment, "I see now, he gets angry when you talk about that part about him. I need to apoligize to him right now so he doesn't hate me." Lee said getting up to run after me, She ran out the lunch area looking for me.
I was in the middle of the hallway about to get into a fight with a fellow student. The local school bully was hitting on a girl who was trying to get away from him. "I tell you again kid, leave that girl alone, can't you see you're annoying her?" I said to see the guy start to laugh a bit, he dropped his arm away from the girl and he swung at me. Lee who was know behind me watched me catch the fist like it was nothing. The guy tried to pull his hand back but he couldn't bring it back. He then sucker punched me in the face and I let go of his hand. I felt the blood from my brow drip down my face.
I whipped the blood from my face and my expression changed. I walked right up the kid and I got right into his face. "Leave before I do something I will regret." I said making my eyes glow like my Aunt Sinthia's when she got mad about something. The kid saw my eyes changed and he fell on the ground, then he got up and ran away. I brushed my face and then I turned to see if the girl I just helped was ok. She was gone and I was standing there with Lee as Miss Lily, my teacher, came to see what the noise was all about. Lily saw my face and my eyes and knew something had happened.
Not known to me the kid I scared away passed her in hall when he ran away. She smiled at me then she said, "You're just like Uncle Jacob, your father you know that." She said to me getting me to turn fully to her. "He was harassing a girl and he wouldn't leave her alone, but she not here anymore." I said to Lily and she smirked, "Yes that girl must of be the one that ran passed me yalling about two boys fighting." Lily then looked right at me, She saw a smile come across my face. I asked her to yell at me and not to give me special treatment.
She shook her head "No" then she poked my forehead. "You need to be more careful with these students with your pure strenght. You might end up hurting someone in the future. I'm not going to punish you because you helped a student when she needed it." She said to me grabbing me and pushing me to my next class. Which was my regular classes, these I had full marks in and most of the time I looked out the window. Aunt Spira was my teacher till she married my Dad's brother Brad. Spiderlings and humans didn't mix very well but you couldn't tell with the amount of kids they had a year after their marriage.
They had six kids and one of them is taking classes with me. His name is Kenith and for his other siblings the other five went to other school. After the day calmed down I walked home with sister. She seemed to be happy with her first day of school. She turned to see I had angry look on my face still from lunch. She saw this and said to me, "Brother, you better start smiling before father and mother see that face. You know how they react to us being unhappy, they'll fix it for us." She watched me start to smile before we reached home. As we passed by a few shops and homes I saw myself in the windows.
"Yeah, Father and Mother have always been that way though." I said back To Beilz and she kept looking forward as I looked at myself in the window. I have tan skin, jet black hair and my human side I could see my eyes were both blue with a yellow band. My sister shared the same eyes but in reverse, she had yellow eyes with a bright blue band around the yellow. The blue was there but you had to really look at her eyes to see the blue. Life has been good for me for the most part, till that is when I get reminded that I'm magicless and a halfling.
Being called a Halfling makes me more angry than being reminded that I have no magic power. I can hear my dad in my mind telling me to own my nickname like he did when he first came to this land. "You're half me and half your mother be proud of who you are." That memory of Dad telling me that made me smile a bit. Sister slapped my chest as we got within yards of the Manor. She took off running and I chased after her. When I went through the front door, Leera, my Dads oldest friend and a servant of the house was there to greet us. She was smiling at us holding something behind her back.
We both looked at eachother wondering what she was hidding. The thing behind her was a letter from our Grandfather Grandpa Verith. I grabbed the letter and I went to Dads study where he was alot. I looked to see sister was already standing with Father with her own letter. Dad was standing proud as he always did smiling at us both. He was a muscular man with a young face, for someone still in his twenties. His face was his best feature and he always had a cigar thing in his face at all times. "Lets see what your Grandparents sent you both shall we?" Dad asked us and we both opened the letters at the same time.
(Letter)
"You've been selected to fight in the next school tournament. You'll be fighting your fellow students in hand to hand and in magic sparring. This is a Tournament is to show us the next generations skills and powers." The bottom line was signed by Grandfather and Grandmother with details about who many people will be attending the tourny. I looked to see Dad was smiling at us both, "See your King sees that you both have talent. Go show them you don't don't need magic to win this thing." He said now looking at me with his bright blue eyes.
I was still confused by why I was selected by the King and Queen till mother came through the door. She saw both happieness and sadness, She asked Father what was going on so he told her. Her face was still, nothing on her face not even a frown. Then she smiled at us, we never saw her smile. Then she said to us, "Good job children, I know you'll both will do your best. Make sure you practice and make us proud son." Mother looked at me when she said the last part making me smile for real.
Mother is a very strange woman, she a very kind person but she's very strict. Though the stories our uncles, Aunts and even father said otherwise. Mother was a very wild and rebelous Demon when she was younger, before she had us. Father too, he was a very wild man with the tendencies to fight anyone who he doesn't like. After they met eachother others say they began to mellow out as they got closer to marriage. One more thing the Anniversary of when that Great war ended makes my parents uneasy. They close theirselves off from the world for that day and hide.
They lost alot of soldiers during that world and on a normal person that would be rough. Every other time they would shower us with love and teach us life lessons. Mother and father both watched me for a moment as I ran these thoughts through my head. They still looked concerened for me most of all, with no magic power this tourny would be extremely hard. So with that in mind for the next few moments of my life I spent my time training with father. During lunch, Practices, after school sparing, and after dinner more practices.
I didn't know much about this tourny but I knew three things about it. One, They have judges rate your combat and skills. Two they have the tournys in a place that can handles my fathers full magic power. The third was the winner gets bumped up a class and given a custom weapon made for them. As we trained we felt something coming from me but we didn't think it was normal magic. I was making progress it was more of how to counter magic itself. So when the school demanded that I take extra time to study instead of my training that hurt me a bit. Dad wasn't happy with this either but the school was right.
I had fallen in my grades a bit so dad had me pull back on my training so I could catch up with my studies. One day when I was done with lunch and left the room. I was jumped by four guys that were the same age as me. The looked big but they didn't scare me one bit. One of the guys said to me, "I see you're hanging around Lady Beilz alot. We recommend you stop that and leave her alone." The guy was now in my ear as I clenched up my fist. "What you think I'm some guy trying to get with Beilz? Do you four know who I am?" I asked him getting even angrier by the second, all four of them smirked at me.
"I'm her older Twin, I'm Girard Willow, son of Jacob Willow and Princess Dianna." I said to them and one of the kids laughed at me when I said my father name. "You're that losers son, that human piece of trash?" As the kid looked back at me to laugh some more I hit him in the face so hard he flew into the wall behind him. The other three looked at eachother then the leader of the punks throw a ball of fire at me. He looked scared by my raw power or the fact I just sent his buddy into the wall with no sudden movements. Well, the fire ball was about to hit me when my sister came and caught the ball of fire with her bare hands.
"You leave my brother alone you low life scum!" She said yelling at the group of guys, glaring at them with her glowing yellow eyes. I was glaring at them to, but they heard someone coming so they grabbed their buddy who was still out cold in the wall still. The person coming around the corner was the headmaster miss Lolita the Ex Commander of the Northern Elven Army. She was very tall Orc woman and mean when she needed to be. Father was taught by her alongside Master Tilla back when he first came to this world. She gave us a look and we stood like soldiers as she asked us.
"What's going on here little Willows?" she grabbed a passing by kid who wet his pants, the kids that tired to run away. As I began to tell her what happened the kid she had in her hand yelled out. "He's lying we didn't do anything!" Miss Lolita slammed her fist into the wall next to her to get the kid to shut up. He did and listened to what I had to say finally. She stopped me instead and used a spell to see my memories. We all watched the memory just to the point to where I hit the kid into the wall. Lolita looked pissed but not at me, I did hurt a student but it was for a good or reason she understood.
"You dare call Sir Jacob a piece of trash, the person who faught on the frontlines with me!?" She asked the kid and he looked defeated as she let him go. "Your parents will be requested to attened a meeting in my office at the end of the day tomarrow. The leaders of the school and city will be there as well." Lolita was getting even more angry the more she thought about what the kids said about my Dad. Beilz had to calm her down telling her, "Miss Lolita I think those idiots learned a lesson, you don't have to get everyones parents invovled."
My sister gave Lolita her puppy eyes to drop the matter, she even got the kid that just wet himself to agree on leaving me alone. I thought that this moment was a bit funny and both Beilz and Lolita saw me smile. "Sure, but I will inform them in do time, just not right now, we have the tournament to deal with." Lolita said as we all went our seprate ways.
