Chapter 3 - A NEW LIFE SOMEWHERE

You all are thinking what Hermes wanted well all his life he wanted to go to school and make friends outside the small kingdom of king Arteous of Shang Li kingdom.

"Master you got to wake up the train will leave soon," said a maid as Hermes wakes up at a very comfortable bed at a room that the king ordered the servants to prepare for him.

" You gotta wake up in there" shouted a small voice of Aria outside the room.

"Breakfast will be ready in five," said the maid as she leaves. As soon as the door opens, Aria enters and jumps onto the bed with a smile.

"You are going to leave too?" said Aria changing her mood to a very annoyed person.

"Don't worry I'll visit sometimes I promise," said Hermes trying to cheer up Aria.

"You promise, am going to miss you," said Syria giving Hernes a hug.

'Its been three days and she treats me like a his brother Shu heng,' thought Hermes hugging her back.

"I need to go prepare now," said Hermes as Aroma let's go of him and runs away.

...

"Hope all will be well, and thank you for what you did, hope this will repay back what you did!" said the king to Hermes at the train station.

"This is more than enough..." said Hermes as Aria silences him.

"please come back soon... With Shu heng, Weing and..." said Aria trying to give a lost of her brothers and sister. Apparently she has two brothers, Shu heng and Xiang lee... Who are apparently in different school with Weing, the princess whom was going to meet at the school where Hermes was going.

Weing and Xiang lee have a history of hatred for who knows what. It's just a history between family.

"Excuse me young master, the luggage have been put in, shall we leave?" asked the butler that was assigned to be a guard for the admission in Fanghua school of seniors and juniors.

"I shall take my leave now, later," said Hermes as he gets on the train.

"Am gonna miss him.," said the king as he gives the two females a smile.

...

Time do passes, Hermes had been administered at Fanghua high and the butler had traveled back to his master.

There were alot of students who were admitted on the same day as Hermes. That included Weing who had been waiting for the day.

...

"Whoa this school is big," said Hermes as he enters the big gate.

"Please welcome to Fanghua, enjoy the show," said a smiling girl face probably a senior.

Hermes walked in slowly looking around. He stopped by a statue of the great old principal Le fe, in short Mr. Fe. He is known to be superior, inhereted the school from his great ancestors. He just did a little furnishing and the school was going all well.

....

All the new students aligned themselves ready to get an update on their classes.

"Welcome students, we'll be having a little test to place you in your respective classes. Just to let you know the test is going to be hard if you pass you'll be able to access the class elite for four years in the junior after that you get to senior..." said Mr. Gu fushi, the test teacher.

"A test? This school keeps getting interesting," whispered the students amongst themselves.

"Look its princess Weing…such beauty…" whispered the students as Princess walks towards the distracted Hermes.

"Hey!" called out the princess trying to get Hermes' attention.

"Oh hi, how can I help you?" asked Hermes as he turns to face Weing.

"You are the white haired kid whom I heard saved my sister, is it?" asked Weing.

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" said Hermes trying to avoid the subject."Stay out of my way if you don't wish to die, if possible why not quit?" said Weing arrogantly.

"Yeah whatever!" said Hermes as he goes away from the princess.

"That kid is something, so arrogant," whispered the students.

"Listen up! This test will determine which class you belong to, there's ordinary and the class elite, Normal class are those that fail the test with a below average result and the Elite are superior," said Mr. Gu, the test teacher on a big screen above the room where the test was to be conducted.

"What are we suppose to do?" asked one student confused.

"The instructions will be simple, destroy the dragon you'll see in order to determine your strength…"said Mr.Gu as a display of a red dragon appears on the screen.

"Is that a real dragon?" asked another student a little tense.

"Don't worry it's not a real dragon, it's a 3d customized to look real but not real so no worries please…once your name is mention please enter the door on your left, once you finish the task you'll get to know your class," said Mr. Gu.

"This sure looks like an easy test, bring it on!" said the students with a smile.

"First Mr.Feu Ming please step forward and take the test," said Mr. Gu as a fat student step forward, whacks his hand and enters the room.

"That's Mr.Mings son in law, I heard he's strong and powerful, I know he'll be joining the elite class," said the students.

"Hes gonna lose!" Said Hermes looking at the screen with a smile.

"Shut your stupid mouth, our Ming guy is going to make it to Elite," said one boy among the three groups of boys whom had set aside watching.

"Wanna bet?" asked Hermes looking at the boy with a smile.

"Do we look like we do bets?" asked the boy.

"Oh now I remember, you are that rude kid earlier… you should definitely quit and go home, this is no place for the homeless," said another boy from the group.

"240, class ordinary," said Mr.Gu as the students gets surprised.

"He lost, are you some kind of a witch or something?" asked the boy.

"Next up, Kenji...."said Mr.Gu as green haired glass boy gets into the room. A loud bang as the sound of Mr.gu is heard from the microphone.

"110, class ordinary....." Said Mr.Gu.

The show went on and on till about twenty students were called in class elite... Shugami a funny student was among them.

"Next up, Weing ji... Please step forward," said Mr. Gu.

Weing with her pride walked on into the door, and finally disappeared as the screen showed her.

"I heard that the princess is really strong..." whispered one student.

"With her status what is she doing in this school, she can go to a very good school..." whispered another.

.....

"Mmmh, these students are just weak compared to last year... No one has surpassed shikir with a level of 5000... I don't think any of these students are that powerful... But the princess... I can sense some level energy I have never seen before,oh well there is only one student left, Hermes, he doesn't seem that powerful," said Mr.Gu.

...

Princess weing was inside a dark room, a voice came along inside the room, Mr. GU's voice.

"The instruction is clear you have to destroy the dragon, it's not real…any weapon is legal use any tactics you want…just destroy the dragon…" said Mr. GU.The lights switched on as a red dragon appeared on a small cave roaring.

"That dragon is something," said one student.

"Its really tough, its pounces very hard…all she got to do is to be faster than a wind…" said another boy.

"I know princess is strong fast and everything…go get it princess!" shouted another boy.Other students begun supporting her.

The princess dodged lots of the dragon pounces as she got out her sword to fight and as for the dragon its breath made of fire tried to take a hit on princess.The princess dodges all as she lands several hits and explosions but nothing happens.

"That dragon is something alright," said one student."I can destroy it in one punch," said Hermes looking at the kid with a smile."Huh! Dump kid, the princess is like the strongest amongst us all…and…"said Shugami.

"A high score of 4999…" a voice was heard from the screen speakers.

"Whatever that was… it was epic…The princess was awesome," shouted another girl student."Can you beat that dumpass…"asked Shugami.

"I can beat your score too…3987 isn't a good score either, just like your damn princess," said Hermes.

"Next up…Hermes…please step forward and do the test…"said Mr. GU.

"Guess I'll be seeing you some other time…" said Hermes as he walks away from the crowd. As he walked in he came face to face with a long face princess, she looked tired and all that.

"Nice try…but too low," said Hermes with a smile.

"What a loser!" said princess as she walks away.

"That boy is gonna be joining the low class….he looks weak and thin…"said one boy as the students burst with laughter.

"Hey look it's the princess… she was amazing," said another student as they rush towards the princess.

"Mmmh…thank you for the praise," said the princess as she gives them a smile.

"Ok, shall we begin?" asked Mr. Gu."Sure am all set..."said Hermes.

"Ok the rules are simple, you have…" stated Mr. Gu as he is interrupted by Hermes.

"Can we skip to the part where I finish this shit once and for all…am tired of standing here," said Hermes.

"Uhm well ok…do what you must, you got 50 seconds…"said Mr. GU.

"Make it Ten…"said Hermes. "Rules are rules kid, you gottta follow it…" said Mr. GU with an angry tone.

"Can we do this or what…I aint got the whole day…"said Hermes.

"Ok, for your level of disobedience I will give you a high level dragon anger harder than what others have experienced, it will be…"said Mr. Gu interrupted by Hermes.

"Bring even the maximum full power dragon…"said Hermes.

"You do have a lot of guts kid," said Mr. GU.

"That boy…isn't he the one who rudely spoke to the princess?" said one boy…kagame, who also passed the test with 3000 points.

"He is … what a strange boy he is,he looks weak too," said another student, a girl, Yu wing.

"As you wish kid…"said Mr. GU.

"Uhm sir… the lever broke…" said the assistant trainee.

"At what level is that?" asked Mr. Gu.

"Uhm…the impossible one sir…this is really bad… should we summon the senior students?" asked the assistant with a tense voice.

"I don't know… I think we should…"said Mr. Gu.

"No rush…I got this…" said Hermes.

"Kid…you should get the hell out of there it's too risky, wait for the seniors…" shouted Mr. GU as he's interrupted by a loud bang on the closed gate.

"Is it really strong?" asked Hermes.

"10 times stronger than the one the other students had battle," said Mr. Gu.

"Better," said Hermes with a wide smile as he looks the gate.
