Just as he finished that thought three people enters the training ground. These people are Abel, Gancelot, and Juliana.
{Noah}
" That is quite the strange trio."
- Why did you call us here Gancelot? asks Juliana
- I have better things to do, Fayrak. says Abel
- I called you here to spar with you, Abel. says Gancelot
- What? replies Abel
- And, sis, I called you here to be the referee of our sparing match.
{Noah}
" Ooooh, Abel against Gancelot.... This is an interesting matchup. I guess I will stay and observe this." Noah thought while smiling
[Teacher's meeting room with all the first-year teachers]
- I think everybody knows why we are all gathered here. says Darius
- Get to the point, Darius. says Durmon Rokper, the teacher of the Green dorm's first years general class
- Have a bit more respect for the principal, Durmon. says Hugh Narb the teacher of the Red dorm's first-year general class
- Calm down! says Darius
Silence in the meeting room
- Let's now vote on whether Noah Arcadios should remain here, in the Academy, or be expulsed.
[Back in the training grounds]
Gancelot takes a fighting stance
- Wait! says Abel. I don't remember accepting your challenge.
- WHAT!!! Don't you want to fight me? Gancelot asks Abel
- Not really. Don't get me wrong, I am not the type to turn down a challenge nor am I afraid of you.
- Then why are you acting like this?
- I simply don't like to do things which I won't gain anything from.
- So basically, in exchange of accepting my challenge you want something? asks Gancelot
Abel smiles
- That's exactly what I'm saying.
- What do you want? Points? Money?
- I don't need these things. What I want is something priceless.
Gancelot and Juliana frown
- What do you want, Abel? asks Juliana
- I want to know what has Noah been teaching you. The lessons, techniques, spells, tips basically everything he said to you. I want to know it all. You are the disciple of a genius that earned the title of Unofficial King's Sword and will probably become a King's Sword in the future, maybe even faster than his brother Yoan did.
-...
- We all saw it today. Noah Arcadios is a monster, he stands in a whole different dimension than the rest of us, first year, and you, Gancelot Fayrak, are learning from him. Did it not cross your mind that after the amazing display of power Noah did during his spar with Kramptus, people were gonna try to approach you to know what has he been teaching you?
{Juliana}
" Priceless is the right word for what he is asking. Noah is the youngest to enter the Unofficial King's Sword list. He is truly exceptional and you are his disciple. However, Noah is unapproachable he has a wall around him that makes people unable to approach him. So if they can't approach him, they obviously will go for the only one who is close to him, his disciple. The only reason why it hasn't happened is that you are always around Noah. What makes it worse is that I heard that Noah even garnered the attention of the upperclassmen."
- You know what? Let's not do it, then.
Abel seems shocked by Gancelot's answer, not too much, but still shocked
- Why? Don't you know that whoever you challenge to a spar will have the same conditions that I have? asks Abel
- That's unfortunate but I simply won't spar with anyone, it's as simple as that. Gancelot answers. As you said, I shouldn't do things that I won't gain anything from. A spar and in exchange you want something as priceless which his my master teachings? Your greed must have made you crazy.
- Why not? says Noah while walking toward the trio
- Master!
- Arcadios? says, Abel
Juliana grunts
- Master, I thought you were at the library.
- I was. I left after reading half of the books on the second floor. answers Noah
- On the second floor?! Master, you really are amazing. says Gancelot with sparkles in his eyes.
{Juliana}
" Second floor?"
- You went to the second floor already, Arcadios? asks Juliana. Doesn't that mean that you already read all the books on the first floor?
- That is exactly what I did.
- Mind telling me how?
- Sis! Why does it matter to you?
- I didn't ask you anything, Gan!
Gancelot immediately stops talking and is trembling in fear of his sister.
- If you don't mind I would also like to know how you did it. says Abel
- Has you already known using magic within the library is permitted as long as you don't try to damage or steal the books?
- Everybody knows that, Arcadios. says Juliana
- Lightning magic. Body Of Speed. Lightning.
Noah uses his spell, just like always his whole body is ejecting lightning but he gathers the ejected lightning towards his eyes.
-That's how I did it. By accelerating my reading speed. he says while canceling his spell making the lighting disappear.
- Now that this is settled. How about you two do what you came here to do. says Noah while pointing Gancelot and Abel by the finger.
- But master! Didn't you hear his ridiculous request?! says Gancelot
- What are you talking about, of course, I heard it but it seems like you forgot what I told you. says Noah
- What are you talking about, master?
- Remember them. Remember the words that I said to you the day we met Telnoir
- The day with me my oldest bro-
Gancelot eyes open due to him finally remembering what Noah had told him that day.
- Remember this Gancelot, never let go of a chance to get stronger.
- Exactly. says Noah while smiling. All you have to do is fight and not lose.
- Are you really ok with this? Abel asks Noah
- Abel.
- What?
- If you win I will let you join my squad. says Noah
- Squad? What squad?
- I will create a squad in order to take quests in school and during vacations plus during the days in which we don't have school we will join the adventurers guild and take quests.
- Its a good offer but I am sure there is something else that you are gonna say. says Abel with an intrigued expression
- I want to be number one, so obviously my squad or party, whatever you want to call it, will be trained by me.
Abel smiles and Gancelot and Juliana are shocked by what Noah said
- Doesn't that mean that your squad will be made of your disciples? asks Abel with a huge smile
Noah shrugs
- Who knows? Maybe or maybe not.
{Abel}
" This is the chance of a lifetime."
- Alright. I accept.
{Noah}
" No matter what happens, you are gonna join the squad because, in my past life, you originally were one of the seven members of squad Zxero."
- Master! What is the meaning of this? This is my first time hearing about this. says Gancelot
Noah walks up to him and pats his head.
- Don't worry. You are my disciple, so obviously you are a part of the squad.
{Noah}
"It was seven in my past life but I guess it's eight now."
- Yesss!
Noah and Juliana both walk back to the benches
- What was it? Oh, right. It was "Remember this Gancelot, never let go of a chance to get stronger." I guess you actually are giving him good advice. says Juliana
- He is my disciple after all. answers Noah
- Hey?
- What is it, now?
- I am sorry about what happened last time, about what I said about you and your mother. says Juliana
She bows her head
- Lift your head.
She lifts her head
- Good girl
She blushes
- WHAT THE HELL! I AM NOT A DOG! she says while giving him a punch
- Hahahahaha
Noah wipes a tear.
- Don't worry about it. I can see that you actually regret what you did and that you feel bad about what you said. answer Noah while smiling
She smiles but her pleased expression changes to a serious one
- I do have a question.
- Go ahead and ask.
- What happened to you that day?
- What are you talking about? he answers with a changed expression, from an amused one to a dead serious one
{Noah}
" Now that I think about it... She and Kramptus saw my demon eye... Do I need to get rid of them?"
{Bright}
" Are you hearing yourself, Noah?!"
{Noah}
" What? I got to do something about this, right?"
{Bright}
" And the best you could come up with is killing the daughter of the king?"
{Noah}
" So, how am I supposed to explain what she saw?"
{Bright}
" You don't. You are not obligated to give an answer to anybody."
- I am talking about the red eye and the sharpened pupil?
Noah turns around to look at the two that are stretching before the fight
- I don't know either. It started happening after my mom died. So I don't like to talk about it.
- Oh... I am sorry if I... you know made some bad... memories resurface.
- It's fine don't worry about it.
[Teacher meeting room]
- Andre resume the others of what you saw and think of student, Noah Arcadios.
- Yes, principal. The first time was when the nobles and the commoners started arguing in the class. It got really loud and for a second, it was only a little bit and only for a second, but I felt him emit bloodthirst and the second time was in the hall after class. He had a confrontation with the first princess Juliana Fayrak.
- He emitted bloodthirst? asks Hugh
- If you add what happened during his spar against Kramptus it's a total of three times.
- Now that you have all heard about what happened with student Noah Arcadios it is time to take a vote. Those who want Noah Arcadios expulsed from the Academy raise your hand.
Only one hand rise, the hand of Andre Layton
- WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL!? DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I SAID?! NOAH ARCADIOS IS DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE IN THE ACADEMY! yells Andre
- We heard you loud and clear, Andre. We just don't agree with your opinion. says Durmon
- Why? asks Andre
- I am surprised you even are asking the question. Noah Arcadios is a talent that will never appear again. He used the highest form of Lighting magic; Thunder magic at the age of eight. And from what I heard he possesses three Origin spells. Body Of Speed, Lightning Palm, and Lightning Spear.
- I agree with Durmon this time. says, Hugh. He is way too talented to expulse from the Academy.
- WHAT!?
- I think you forgot what matters here, Andre. The Academy cares only about grades, strength, and results. says Hugh
- PRINCIPAL! What about you?
Darius touches his watch screen and drags it up in the air. The screen is separated into two and two women appear. The first one is the lunch lady of the Blue dorm and the second one is the nurse. All the teachers present are shocked when seeing the lunch lady.
- Principal! Isn't she the Fire sorceress? The fire magic user that crafted seven mana hearts but refuses the King's Sword title. says Hugh
- That's her. answer Darius
- Why is she in the Academy? And why is she allowed in this meeting, from what I remember she remains unaffiliated. She doesn't belong to any kingdom! says Andre
- It's because she is looking for a disciple. says Darius
