Vondrel stood up and dusted his cloths before proceeding to walk towards his dorm and give his friends the feedback.
- That robot needs to be taught a lesson - a voice suddenly resounded in his head
"Where were you since, i thought you suddenly became deaf" Vondrel said in response
- Hey...you don't have to insult me, I was just observing and that's it. Moreover don't you think that there are some hidden intentions behind her wanting you to be her private apprentice??." the kyokai blade asked
"I'm not dumb, i know she has a reason for that, but all i want to do is to benefit from her at least before going for the upcoming adventure in three months from now." Vondrel replied in his head.
- How about after the adventure??-- the kyokai asked again.
" I am yet to give that a thought for now" vondrel responded
He now has two sheaths where he places his blades on his back, it stays there in an X shape. He can communicate with the blade, only if he makes contact. So he decided to place the sheath on his back.
.....
"Isn't that the contest winner?" a light elf that goes by the name Erin asked to her friend.
"Yeah he's really the one, what is he doing in this area, does he have a girlfriend here? " Hannah which is a friend to the light elf wondered aloud because the area where Vondrel walked past wasn't far from the female dormitory and male students rarely comes there.
Note: Hannah is an hybrid
"What was that his nickname again?" Erin asked again
"I think people nicknamed him 'the upcoming sword king' yeah 'sword king' in short, if i'm correct " Hannah answered
"Exactly...he's cute and kinda hot" Erin said while smiling
" Yeah, I heard he's from the blue band though." Hannah said
"What?? How can he be a blue band and win the friendly contest, isn't that odd??" Erin asked with wide eyes.
" Odd?? You know what's odd. He doesn't even have an ability. Rumour says he failed to awaken on the awakening ceremony day. " Hannah replied.
"Th....tha..that can't be possible. He failed to awaken??" Erin stuttered
Hannah simply nodded as they continue walking away.
They continued their journey to their hostels, while the person they were talking about was oblivious of the damsels scrutinizing and talking about him.

"So what did she say? let's know" Sam asked impatiently.
" Won't you even exercise patient and let him settle down??" Timmy said with an irritated tone.
" That's not the issue, you suddenly jumped into asking him what she said and not how it went." Noah said and turned to stare at Vondrel
" With the way he is, I am guessing it wasn't a pleasant meeting."
Vondrel studied them silently before voicing out an answer
"She agreed to accept you guys on one condition "
"Which is? " Sam inquired
"What condition? " Noah asked
"We are waiting" James urged
"Go on" Timmy said
Vondrel.....("_")
"Can't you guys be patient, i was going to tell you guys everything that transpired" Vondrel stated
"Alright shoot your shot " Noah said
"Here i go.... " Vondrel narrated his ordeal to them.
'Silence reigned after he finished narrating his ordeal to them.
"So did you by any means, see the trainees we are meant to battle? " Sam asked
"Here i thought you were actually listening, with all those serious concentration." Timmy said while shaking his head.
"I guess he was just listening but not digesting everything he heard" James chimmed in
Samuel stared at the two of them innocently
"He said he wasn't able to see them due to... what did you call it's name again? " Noah questioned
"Stelio " Vondrel replied
"So what do we do now, how are we meant to defeat people who we know nothing about?" Sam inquired with a frown
"Well it's obvious..." Vondrel began before being interrupted by Sam
"Nothing is obvious Vondrel, nothing. There is no information about our said opponents, how are meant to defeat them?" Sam asked loudly
Vondrel.....("_")
"Will you just calm down and relax, all we have to do is get prepared for the worse." James cautioned Sam
"We either win or lose" Timmy added
"Wrong" Vondrel countered
Everyone..... "hmm" . They all stared at him with confusion written over their faces.
"What's wrong?" Noah asked the question on everyone's mind
"He is wrong, totally wrong" Vondrel confirmed is earlier statement
"Why did you say that? " Sam questioned
"The reason is....the fear of the unknown has clouded your judgements, yes we have no information about our opponents, but that doesn't stop us from being prepared." Vondrel stated
"So what are you saying?" Timmy inquired
"It's either we win or keep trying, losing and getting kicked out or we giving up is not an option. " Vondrel stated firmly.
" I have this unprecedented feeling that something unprepared for will happen during this adventure. So we need to be prepared, and I don't see a way than us winning against those robots, if that's what the trainee's are" He stated strongly
A bit of a sharp aura seeped out of him after he said those words, but he didn't notice it. The others could feel it.
"I'll be right back, i wanna go grab something" Vondrel said before standing up and leaving
He excused himself, not knowing why they were all staring at him with a shocked expression.
"Did you feel that?" Sam asked not turning his face from the door Vondrel went through.
"Yeah i felt it, i felt the sharp aura. How was he able to do that ?" Timmy wondered aloud
"I also sensed another aura " Noah and James said simultaneously.
"Hmm.." Timmy and Sam looked at them curiously.
They stared at each other, before James decided to speak.
"I sensed a dominating aura" James said
"That is true, i also sensed same aura. " Noah confirmed
"He is changing " Timmy said
"That weapon is influencing him" Sam said while shaking his head.
" Or perhaps something different entirely." Timmy added
The atmosphere suddenly became tensed and everyone wore a serious face.
'Cough' 'Cough'
"Let's go get prepared, so we won't get our asses whooped. You know we don't have any spared time " James said before standing up to leave
They all have to get prepared so as to start their intense training tomorrow for the adventure coming up in three months time.
