The boy's stood outside gazing at the arch above the gate of their academy.
"Guys, this is it. I don't think we will be sane anymore, when we come back from our training." Dave said looking at the arch.
"Lets go in, what should happen will happen. No use to fret on that." Alan said and everyone started walking.
The six towering and robust young men, accompanied by their magnificent war horses, captured the attention of onlookers. Numerous girls from the arts and healing sections cast curious glances toward the boys. Whispers circulated, describing them as handsome, strong, and personal disciples of the weapon master, sparking intrigue among the crowd.
Entering their dormitory, they discovered a letter affixed to the back of the door.
It read, "Be prepared to depart in 5 days. I'll return to the academy a day before our journey begins. Meet Stan and convey this information to him. The entrance test is tomorrow. Enjoy watching it, and have all your weapons ready.
Harry..."
Williams sighed, "Al, he's going to push us to the limit. I don't know how much of his unconventional methods we can endure." No one had a word to dispute this accurate depiction. They all contemplated the idea of escaping from the eccentric instructor. However, they acknowledged that if anyone could elevate them above others and unlock their potential, it was their master, Harry. Resigned to their fate, they headed to meet both their headmaster and Winden City's guildmaster, Stan.
"Ah, lads, com in, come in." Stan invited them in with a wide smile.
Greeting headmaster, everyond bowed.
"Master harry disappeared almost 2 months ago and we had not had any new about him. Rest assured, he shall be back soon to start your training as scheduled." Stan assured them.
All the boys looked at each other in disbelief. "Headmaster, we received a letter from master harry few days ago and found a letter affixed to our door just now. We are about to embark on a journey in 5 days. He had informed us in today's letter to meet you as he will be back in the Academy in may be 4 days." Bob gave Headmaster the details.
What!!! The Headmaster stood up suddenly from his chair, shocked.
"Yes Headmaster, master harry had mentioned us to be prepared for an arduous journey that might last for 2 years. And he even informed us to keep our weapons ready." Alan said.
"That bas... ahmmm... ahmmmm.... he cleared his throat. Sorry about that. I was caught off guard by his plans." Stan took a deep breath and said with a bit of embarrassment.
The boy's didn't say anything but were holding back their smiles.
"Fine then," Stan slumped back on his chair in a defeated way. "There is nothing I could do to stop him once he sets his mind on doing something. I can only hope that you boys can endure his ah... I can say unorthodox way of training." Stan looked at the boys in pitty.
He then got up from his chair, "Follow me lads. We have a few things to take care of before that crazy- son-of-a ..., he cleared his throat again." This time the boys couldn't hold it any longer and burst out laughing. Even Stan smiled sheepishly.
"That's enough let's go then." He led the boys outside his office. This small procession attracted many gazes. They reached the weaponry and the incharge who was sitting at the entrance stood up and bowed to the Headmaster.
"Christan open the weaponry and come inside with us." Stan said.
Yes Headmaster, Christan noded took a key from a draw and led them in. The boys were astonished to see the weapons inside this huge area. There were hundreds upon hundreds of various weapons. All the weapons were neatly stacked and labeled. "Headmaster is the weapons for these lads?" Christan asked in puzzlement.
Stan noded his head, "Open the inner vault Christan, these weapons would not be enough."
Christan was shocked, "But, but headmaster those weapons are A-Class and S-Class grade weapons."
Stan smiled, I don't think even those would be able to withstand their training. These six here are the personal deciples of Master Harry. Even though you had not seen it, I believe you had heard about their abilities."
Christan looked at the boy's in awe. "Are these.... These are the once master Harry took in as Personal deciples? Amazing, truely Amazing. They were the first to be taken in as his personal deciples." Christan opened the Inner secured vault without further doubts.
" Alan I believe, you had forged last year's 200 swords with master Steve?"
Alan noded at Stans question.
Well then help your friends choose the swords and lads, chose other weapons of your choice from this side." Stan pointed his right hand side.
"Wait, he forged those 200 swords?" Christan was schocked beyond belief.
