It was now the final night before our journey to the academy .we were now having a great luxury dinner with both our families and all our close friends from the village In total there was about 14 of us , including some of our aunts and uncles who lived in the village .
Rifht infront of me was a delicious plate of steak and vegetables, on my left was my father and on my right was Aria. Marshel was on the other side of the table with his parents and Alexi too.
mother was chatting with my aunt next to my father and Ariah was eating quietly.
" so anyways son , I used a few of me old contacts to get ahold of some academy news. i think you'll want to hear it"
"oh ? what is it?"
father spoke with a burly voice
" earlier today , my friend Reginald from the academy's security department told me that the headmasters been on edge lately"
"head master ? zamn academy's headmaster? one of the strongest mages there is?"
Marshel interrupted from the other side of the table. the loud careless vibe that was just here suddenly disappeared.
" yea him, apparently odd things have been happening recently, a few academy guards even disappeared"
"what ? but that academy is suppose to be one of the safest places in the kingdom"
Sister suwan , who was wearing a radiant blue dress , showed a concerned face
" I know . A knights job wil always have some risk to it. That's much is a given, but even then this isn't what i was expecting. Look we won't stop you from going but you 2 better keep your eyes open a'right?"
"yes sir " Marshel and I reply in unison.
" Great , now that that's out of the way , there's a much friendlier peice of news to share. Apparently, there's a fair share of odd balls this time around in the academy."
" including the healing & magic department, the knight department, mage department and ranger department, the rumour is that there's some new generational talent incoming"
" generation talent? If they're calling out batch generational that's absolutely incredible"
Each year in the academy some odd ball super human pops up , it's pretty normal . But have a lot of odd balls isn't. Is my batch going to be special or will we fall behind and not live upto the hype? Only time will tell .
" Sister Peach's batch was an absolute monster i can't seem how we'll be any better"
Arina peach lowsky nicknamed peach or peaches . She was a mage 2 years older than us. Although we've never actually met her , according to rumors, both her and her batch mates have done some extraordinary feats.
" Ah that's right, my brothers student will be joining this year too"
from the far end of the table , master yen casually drops an info bomb
" your brothers student ? you mean the sword maniac? i already don't like this…"
Master yen had a younger brother who also taught combat in a village not far from here . We've met his students on 2 previous occasions . Out of them , there was a crazy double kitana user. Let's just say he's as dangerous as he sounds.
" don't worry too much , i'm really hoping the 3 of get along well…. i'm also hoping you'll beat him in training" he added with a wink
Marshel and I looked toward each other with an uncertain face
"we'll try our best master "
just like that , time passed and passed and before we knew it , our belly's were fulll and the farewell dinner was over. throughout the whole event, only one person was quiet: Aria
