After I'm done with the training I head towards the headmasters office.
When we were training we were in a room with many other students using swords and there were three instructors excluding Isabelle. She was instructing more than just me, but I was her main focus and her training was harsh. I feel like I learned a lot, but I also felt that I was going to die so I'm glad that is over with. After all, we are doing the same thing tomorrow.
As I approach Leo's office I knock.
"Come in"
I enter the room and find him sitting behind a desk. In front of the desk is a table with a couch on either side. I sit on one and look up at him. "Soooo, did I do something?"
"Haha, no you have done nothing wrong, I just wanted to inform and warn you of something"
"What could that be?"
"Let me give the warning first. As you may know, your leveling process has been insanely fast. It shouldn't be possible to level up that fast with so few kills. So you either do have some leveling skill, or it has something to do with you being a mythical creature. So my warning to you is watch out for those that want to abuse that, want to know your techniques and those that want to do rechearch on you. Because unless you limit yourself you can't hide that leveling process for long. And from what I have learned about you from your mother, that will most likely never happen"
I'm kinda shocked to hear what he says. I knew that I leveled up fast, but I thought I just killed more monsters than others did so early. And I never thought that was a big deal.
But know this. As long as you are a student in my academy I won't let anything happen to you as long as you don't walk out of academy grounds without anyone acting as a guard from the academy. Also, watch out from both teachers and students that want to tame you. It isn't easy to find out that you are a mythical creature, but with a taming skill or two it isn't hard to find out that you are tameable"
"Thanks for the warning Leo"
"No problem and to the information. We have learned some things about blood phoenix from you, but we won't publish it as our rule that when we publish something, the name of the source is written down. it is so it is easier to trust and harder to abuse and you can also contact the source for more information or to double check if things are right. But I guess you already knew that of you paid attention in class"
"Yeah… I totally knew that" I totally didn't know that. When was that mentioned? When I didn't pay attention to that one… or two… or more than three times. I look at the headmaster and his look tells me that I didn't fool him.
"Yeah, as I was saying to protect the information that you are a blood phoenix and a mythical creature We won't publish the information as it won't be hard to connect the dots"
"Thanks, I really appreciate that"
"Of course, anyway, how was your close combat class?"
"It was fun, hard, interesting, learned a lot and felt like I was about to die"
"So the usual, oh by the way. What kind of weapon are you proficient with"
I smirk at that question "A whip sword"
"A whip sword? I have never had a student that has been proficient with it, mastered it or used it in dungeons or tournaments. So this may be interesting"
"It surely will be. It also seems like an interesting weapon. You can do so much with it and it has several fighting styles. It is both close range and maybe mid range if the whip part is long enough. And the part I like the most. The bladed whip part sure look like its painful"
"I don't like the way you are smirking after that last sentence"
"Why not? Oh then there is the negative part. It has to be expensive and I can't imagine a smith that is good at creating it or even tried. So it will be hard to get a good one or get one in general"
"I do actually have a bladed whip myself that I collected after killing a strong monster with it. And I don't need it except for a trophy, but I can't just give out good stuff to my students so you have to do something to deserve it"
"What do you want me to do?"
"I don't know. Either give us some really good information that is with a lot, trade it, do something that deserves a great reward like killing a monster way above our level or other stuff like that"
"Ok, then that is what I do"
"Good, then we are done here unless you have something you want to say or ask"
"Hmmm, nope"
"Ok, but before you leave. Remember this, if you want to talk with someone about all the blood phoenix and mythical creature thing or anything else you can always come to me, ok?"
"Got it, and again thanks. Well I'm leaving now. Goodbye"
"Bye"
I leave the office and head towards my room. Tomorrow is going to be another day where I almost die.
