《World Conqueror》 Volume 1 - Chapter 00 Prologue Before I begin with writing this story I want to tell you that I¡äm writing this story just on a whim and my English isn¡ät the best (actually I¡äm 17 years old and still learning English in school). Well now to the main part I got the idea of writing a story after I read many story¡äs for example Mushoku Tensei, Coiling Dragon, Douluo Dalu, Overlord, Legendary Moonlight Sculptor. I hope you can forgive me for any spelling and grammar mistakes I¡äm making. Oh and before I forget it everything that may be stolen from story¡äs you know, I do not steal I simply think that this would fit into this story. Therefore I¡äm sorry if I may miss use something you liked in a other story and I¡äm going making shit out of it. *************************************************************************** Imagine there is a world other then the world we know. Imagine in this world things happen which you wouldn¡ät understand in our world. Imagine in this world there is no daily danger because the USA and Russia might start a atomic war. And now imagine in this world there exists magic, what would you do? would you go insane and slaughter everybody on your way to power or would you remain silent and start training and in seclusion to get the power you want to slaughter everybody that harassed in that time with your newly gained power? Maybe you want to create a family and life happy until you die and let nobody know that you are a powerful being. Well I may should tell you that in this world we are having the year 987 and two of the seven Kingdoms are currently fighting over something so stupid, at our world the people would face palm so hard that the brain is getting smashed out of the head. Well to answer your question ,they are fighting over a catgirl, but wait this isn''t just a catgirl it is the princess of the cat tribe and the Edoradian and the Korlas Kingdom are fighting over it because both want her for their crown princes...... as a sex slave. Now we get to the good part the description of how this part of the world we are looking at is divided. I think everybody knows how Germany looks like on a map? ( if not your fault and look it up now it¡äs going to be important) Ok so now you have the picture of Germany now imagine this Germany ten times bigger so that it is actually as big as Africa or even bigger. In the Middle of this Big Germany there is a country in the form of a circle, this country country is called Kaiser . Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. In the Middle of Kaiser there is a enormous city with walls at least 8m thick and 20m high, in this wall there is a gate made out of the most expensive materials and the most strongest materials. This gate is so heavy that there are chains on the inside which are connected to the mechanism to open this gate. but well each side of the gate has two chains and 800 soldiers are needed to open this gate. Inside this city you will find that this was just the first wall and that inside this city are four more walls and gates. Each wall was the same as the first wall only the last one was different, the wall was probably 2m thicker and the gate was a 18m high and not the usual 12m. The material used for this gate were of an even higher grade then the other, if you would describe this gate you would say you are looking at the entrance to heaven with a golden Lion head in the middle of the gate. This gate also wasn''t using soldiers for the opening of the gate it was operated with magic, once inside the last wall you look up to a palace like no other. The palace was completely made out of white marble and decorated with gold, the entrance to this palace looked like the front of the dome in cologne and behind it were many other towers and gardens, fountains, training rooms, restrooms and one big dining hall to fit more than 600 people. And obviously there is a throne room in which a rather handsome young man with blond hair and slight blue in it is sitting. With his blue eyes he is currently looking out of the window to his left. This young man is the current Emperor of this continent named Gideas. The young handsome man is called James Andrew Gideas II. *************************************************************************** So far this is the prologue for the upcoming story I¡äm writing I hope you can give me a feedback and maybe I find a proof reader. Also this is the first story I¡äm going to write. This prologue should be a short description on the world we are going to explore with the MC which you will learn about in the next chapters. I¡äm not sure about things like gore, sex, slavery, torture but well I think I need to say that there may be something with this. PS. My writing speed may be a little slow but I will try to write as much as possible during my free time. Volume 1 - Chapter 01 Being Born Chapter 01 - Being Born Year 987 I don''t know where I am nor who I am. Currently I am being held in the arms of a Woman, probably my mother. She has shoulder long curly brown hair, brown eyes and a face which currently is radiating happiness. After my mother notices that she is currently looked at by me she gives me a kiss on my forehead, and is afterwards handing me over to my father.... I guess. He got a sturdy body and the muscles on his body are all well trained. His short blond hair and his ice blue eyes and a scar under his right eye, are giving off the feeling of a warrior. But now he is just a bright happy face and is lifting me up again and again. After a few minutes he had enough and held me in front of a cute boy who probably is my older brother. Most likely he was three or four years old, he had just like mom and dad a big smile after seeing me. Just like my Mother ,he had brown eyes and his hair was the short blond hair of my Father. He patted my had while my father held me in front of him and said something I didn¡ät understand. ( Well here you get what he is saying ) [ I swear to father and mother that I will protect little Alex no matter where he is and that I will punish myself if I fail ] My father then took me and put me into a baby bed, shortly after that I fell asleep. ********************************************************************************************************** Year 988 ********************************************************************************************************* I am currently 1 year and 3 month old. A year consists of twelve month with every month having 30 days and each day being 24 hours long. I was born in the second month of the year 987 and my name is Alex Peregontia. My mother Lucy Peregontia is a Water Magic Lesser Mage, and my father Gunther Peregontia a Great Fire Warrior. Magic and Warrior Ranks start at rank 1. Adept and the highest rank is 10. Magic King of or Sword King of but there is still a third ranking possibility which is also the hardest. Dual training they start with rank 1.Dual Adept and end with 10. Dual Swords and Magic King of . My brother Dexter had half a month ago his fifth birthday and is currently playing with his friends in the village. But next year my parents are going to send him into the Royal Academy of Perigontia. Now back to me, because I am more important than my stupid big brother who is running behind every girl in our village. Well if my parents are not listening I always call him "the next harem king" and this is not even wrong at his age of now five he already had two girlfriends. But hey I forgot again to talk about this awesome me haha. Well like I already said I am currently 1 year old and I secretly read the books in the possession of my family, I already know about magic and swordsmanship and the different elements. The elements you can use if you have affinity for them are Death, Life, Light, Darkness, Fire, Earth, Wind, Water and Blood. I know of the three ways for training and raising ones rank and already decided for which way I will go. But before that I should go to mom, my curly blond hair is hanging in front of my ice blue eyes and is blocking my eyesight while reading a book about Blood Magic with the title "Blood Magic - Easy Slaughtering Skills". I stand up from the couch I was sitting on and walk towards the door of the dining room and go then, after leaving the dining room into the garden to see my mother. I still play the dumb and innocent child towards my family, so after I stand in front of my mother, I point at my hair and say [Hair... too long.... can''t see] my mother after hearing this puts her hand onto my head and chuckles [ Fine mother will cut you a cute new hairstyle ]. She then walked while taking my hand, away from the garden and into the house. The house is a normal two stories building, my family is not poor but we are not rich either. Otherwise how could I read books which are pretty expensive. So my mother brought me into my room which is upstairs in the house and then told me to sit down because she needs to get the scissor. After she then came back and found me still sitting on the chair she smiled at me and began immediately to cut my hair, about five minutes after she began I had a new hairstyle and my mother told me to go to the mirror in her library. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. Almost instantaneously I rushed out of the room and went into moms library to go look at me in her big mirror. Well what do I have to say, I always knew I was handsome but this.... well you can say I will become an even greater harem king than my brother haha. My blond hair was now in front of my forehead and did not obstruct my eyesight anymore, my hair was still hanging a bit over my ears but that was cute. My body was still that of a one year old but I am having the feeling like I am already much older and I do not know why I think so. But about this I can still think at a later time now it is time to rush back to mom and to give her a big kiss on the cheek, mom did a great job so that is her payment. I hope she will be happy if not well..... then I start to sob. ******************************************************************************************************** Year 990 ******************************************************************************************************* I yesterday had my third birthday and my father and my mother were pretty happy that I was able to write and read. My mother told me that my brother was able to read at age of 5 and one month before he was send to the Royal Academy of Perigontia learned how to write. I am still having the same hair cut like when I was one but I already finished reading every book about two month ago and I am currently increasing my mana capacity with mediation. I don''t know which elemental affinity I have, but I think that a grater mana pool is better before I enter the Royal Academy at age of six. For the mediation I need to sit and then start concentrating and then I have to feel the mana in the air and need to pull it into my manacore. Everybody no matter if human or beast is having a manacore and this manacore evolves with training. But Mages and Warriors are having two different manacores, and this is the only reason why Dual training is considered the as the hardest. Breaking through a bottleneck go advance to ne next rank alone is rather hard but doing this with both manacores is extremly uncommon because after you break through it gets harder to break through this bottlneck with the other core. Still I have chosen to get a Dual Swords and Magic King and then maybe kill the Emperor James Andrew Gideas II, why you ask? Easy because I feel like it.I think I will tell my parents tomorrow that I have already read every book we got and that I want that father starts training me. To clear things about my name I am telling you something, you may already found out that the Royal Academy of Perigontia is having almost the same name as me Alex Peregontia. That is because we are in the in the country Perigontia and my family is a branch family of the Perigontia family which is actually having the power to reign this country. That is also a point about how my family is able to have a house and books without working that much. If my family knows that I am a genius maybe they permit me to go to the Academy of Magic and Swordsmanship of Gideas which is the best Academy on this continent named Gideas, because the first Emperor Gideon Andrew Gideas ordered the construction of the best Academy in his Empire. Since this time 2000 years have passed but before the first Emperor disappeared he divided his Empire in seven countries and let around his Palace in the middle of the country be an eight country from which his successor would control the continent with the help of the new royal family''s of these seven countries. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey I am sorry if I may rush the childhood but I want to get him to school xD I dont know why but I think I am going to have fun writing that arc. I am actually trying to explain as much as possible but well i think i am a bit inexperienced. PS. I made a List with every Information which I think may be useful to know that are all the names of the countries, the different Magic types and the ranking system. If you want that I post that List tell me. Volume 1 - Chapter 02 Life as a Genius is Hard Chapter 02 - Life as a Genius is Hard "I will finally tell my parents everything" That were my last happy thoughts, before the nightmare began. Why is that so? Ok let''s look. It began with me seeking my parents and I found them in the garden. They were sitting at a table and were drinking tea. I walked towards them and as I stood in front of the table I called out to them [mom, dad I have to tell you something] and looked deep into the brown eyes of my mother. [Darling let''s hear what he wants to tell us hmm?] my mother said to my father and he just gave a nod. [ Ok Alex tell us what you want to say we will listen] after that I began to tell them everything. How I was able to think clearly since I was born, my clear understanding of swordsmanship and magic, that I have read every book we have , that I can already mediate and that I want that my father trains me in swordsmanship. It took me actually nearly a complete hour to tell everything and the expression my father normal has started to crumble after I told him that I can already mediate. I don''t know why but I think it usually is rather hard to learn how to mediate. My Mother was shocked and angry, shocked because I have read every book and angry because I wasn''t honest to her. After I finished and they waited for about five minutes they stood up and said to me [ Little Alex wait here. Mom and Dad are going to discuss something inside the house] obediently like I am always towards my family I waited and waited. I hope they bring me a device for testing my mana affinity or a wood sword for training. Or both hehe I want to begin training immediately. I think it took my parents about half an hour to finish what they were talking about until they then walked into the garden. With........ a WOODEN SWORD F*UCK YEAH, I wasn''t allowed to enter the weapon chamber in our house so this was the first time I got to see a weapon I probably was allowed use. They walked to me and stood in front of me, well I think I felt fear in that moment. I don''t know why but when your parents stay in front of you and have a rather mischievous look on their face. You will not feel well. My mother was the first to speak [ your father and me have decided how to train you. You told us you want to get a Dual Swords and Magic King right?] I nod and she speaks again [ Ok if it''s like this then from today onwards you will train with father until you reach the first bottleneck.] I was very grateful but why did I still fear something? The answer came in an instant. [Little Alex you will learn how use Magic from your mother from today onwards, more importantly we came up with a training plan.] I was shocked this was actually the first time my father spoke more than three words to me and he noticed my shocked face and began to laugh. Because I was curious I wanted to know what my training plan looks like. Well afterwards I knew that it would have been better not to ask. The plan was like HELL, yes the plan was like F*CKING HELL. I mean wake up at 5.30am push- ups and sit-ups until 6 am than breakfast until 6.30 am. afterwards swordsmanship knowledge and practical training until 1 pm. I mean for sure you are just a lump of flesh after that and need rest but NO you won''t get rest. Well ok 1 pm -2 pm is lunch but afterwards 2 pm -7 pm Magic training well I don''t need knowledge about magic, to be honest my mother can''t teach me knowledge because I have already every book in our house. 7-8pm was nothing special just dinner. The best part of the training was 8 pm - 5.30 am sleep. honestly I think I will forever pray to the god of sleep. Well they finished telling me the plan and so dropped I on my knees and to the ground. If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.I was completely destroyed. I mean I can no longer spy at that cute girl like I used to do for the last year. But there was no time to relax my father pulled me up and couldn''t stop laughing. He gave me the wooden sword and walked behind me and then brought my body into the right stance. Then he wanted me to do as many sword strokes as possible. I began to count 1..2..3...4...5....6.....7......8.......9.........10.......11......12..............13 I couldn''t do more than 13 strokes. HOLY SH*T I am so f*cking weak. I got furious and started to do the strokes again and again. About two or three hours passed by and I was covered in sweat and my body ached. [ That should be enough for today, tomorrow we will also start learning sword knowledge] I look at my father and could only nod because of my exhaustion. About fifteen minutes later I got some of my strength back and walk into the house, I smell food and go immediately into the dining room. My mother don''t likes it if you are late for eating. Today''s lunch was something new, some sort of meat in dough with I think a sauce made of tomatoes. The taste wasn''t bad but the consistence of the food was something completely new. Lunch was over and Mom told me to come into her library. So I walk to mom''s library open the door......and drop to the floor. Sh*t what happened did I slip, have I lost my balance? I look up and my mother is shaking because she is laughing so much. She mumbles some words and the pressure I feel is away, wait what... was that magic just now? Puzzled I stand up and look to my mother, which is still laughing, I think if I get children I do the same this looks like it''s fun. Hey just because I just got 3 years old doesn''t mean I can''t think about getting children! After I think ten minutes my mother got a hold of herself and said [ just now I manipulated the gravity with the Water Magic Spell " Water Control ", so you should understand by now that I am a Water Magician] I don''t know how, but I thought only Earth Mages can manipulate Gravity. Therefore I ask for an explanation. My mother seems happy and starts [ In the Air around us is water by controlling the flow of this water I am able to create a small amount of pressure which is almost the same as controlling gravity, but Water Control can only be used inside of buildings] Because I am curious about the term "can only be used inside of buildings" I ask for a method to do the same outside. The smile my mother has got so wide I thought she is a monster with just teeth and eyes. [ Of course there is such Magic it is called "Water Force" but unfortunately you have to be at least of Rank 6 and since I am only of the fourth rank I can''t use it]. She then wants me to sit in the couch and instructs me to start the mediation while she is observing me. I immediately start the mediation and feel the mana entering my body and the refreshing feeling it gives. I don''t know how long I sat in this position but after some time I hear the voice of my mother. [ You can stop now follow me into the kitchen were going to prepare dinner] . I open my eyes and stand up, then mom and me go into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Like this almost three years passed and next month I am going to be send into the Academy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope you enjoy this chapter and im always open for feedback. Volume 1 - Chapter 03 Roadtrip to School Chapter 03 - Roadtrip to School Year 993 I am five years old and next month I will be six. Then my family will send my into a Academy to study Magic and Swordsmanship. For this my parents asked the current king of Perigontia for financial support, because they want to send me into the Academy of Magic and Swordsmanship of Gideas. The king John Perigontia then wanted to see me. Obviously we went into the capital to see the king. John then looked at me and wanted to know whether the content of the letter is true. I told him that I am currently at the first bottleneck for Warriors and in about 3 more month I should reach the bottleneck for Magic. And that because I want to become a Dual I need to visit the best Academy. Luckily he understood my ambition and allowed me to visit the Academy of Magic and Swordsmanship of Gideas. That means next month the day after my birthday I will start traveling into the country Kaiser. The last month of living with my father and my mother passed rather fast and tomorrow is my birthday. I wake up with a kiss to the forehead, there I see my mother. She smiled and says [ come into the dining room we prepared something for you]. I nod and my mother walks out of the room, now I am alone again. I take my clothes which my mother prepared for me and dress up. What do they have prepared? I hope they give me something I am allowed to use in the Academy. The dining room looks like always some plants in the corner 4 chairs and a table. But on this table are now some gifts. Wow they actually bought me gifts. Because I can''t wait till they tell me I should open them I rush to them and pick one of the three gifts. Well it looks like a sword, maybe inside this package is a sword? Who would''ve thought that inside a package with the form of a sword is a .....sword. It actually is a wooden sword but with strange runes on it. I turn to look at my parents and they grin. Why do I feel like they will kill me??? [Want to know what these runes do?] I nod and my father says [ take this sword go into stance and then infuse the sword with your mana] I do like I was told and take my stance. Infuse the Sword with mana..... and I can''t hold the sword anymore it is now way too heavy. But I don''t want to turn around....because just now my parents started to laugh. I stop infusing the sword with mana and it gets light again. I think i understand know how this thing works. By infusing this sword with mana you can decide how heavy the sword should be. The sword is thrown away because the other gifts are more important. One package is rather small and thin and the other big and big. Seriously I take the big package, because everybody takes the biggest gift after taking the weapon. No? Well I do so. Inside this Big package is a bag pack. Really a bag pack? I look at my parents and feel the killing intent inside me building up. I think they felt that I was pissed, because they immediately told that it is a special bag pack. This "special" bag pack is modified with magic no matter what you put inside you feel like you are carrying still an empty bag pack. If they don''t tell me the truth I think I will slaughter them after finishing school. Now to the last gift, because I don''t want to be disappointed about this last gift so I already think that it will be crap. Well the last thing actually is the best. It is my school uniform, but because I applied for Dual they gave me two. Now I am having a deep blue robe with a golden and red Lion emblem and brown Warrior clothes with the same emblem. This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.My mother and father then came to me and the rest of the day we talked and laughed. The next morning was my last morning at home. For at least 6 years I won''t be able to come back. I had to stand up at 5 am and prepare my belongings for the traveling. This took about one hour and after that I walked with the bag pack into the dining room to eat breakfast for the last time with my family. I leave the house and my parents follow me out of the door. They stay there and smile at me and mom hugs me for a last time. She begins to cry and dad has to take her away or I wouldn''t be able to get going. Luckily the carriage we ordered is already there and so I hop in and my adventure begins. It takes about one week to get to the borders of Kaiser with a carriage and another week to get to the capital. So it takes two weeks to arrive at the Academy. Because nothing happened during my travel I will tell you how the environment looked like. Well there were many fields with people on them some hills in the background and from time to time soldiers were seen traveling on the road. The villages we stopped at, so we can take rest were all the same as my home town. A guild hall for adventurers a casern for the soldiers and a tavern. The rest of the Buildings were of the people living inside the village. After six days we then passed the border of Perigontia and entered Kaiser. We actually travelled faster because the last village we wanted to rest at was already full with travelers. But that is no problem because everybody knows that once in Kaiser the villages are better. The materials used for building are always a grade higher than in the other countries. Everything in Kaiser looked like it was better. This may be because the people do not need to go to the army if they don''t want to, and spend their complete savings for their family and not for drinking. The hills in Kaiser are actually less but there are some big mountains in the west. After traveling for 13 days we saw the walls of Karzo the capital of Kaiser. We arrived at the east gate of the city because Perigontia is one of the countries in the east. The gate in front of us was the biggest gate I''ve ever seen. Not even the gates for the palace of Perigontia were this big. This gate was at least 12m high and was completely made out of high class materials. The city had 4 walls in total, the first ring was for soldiers and normal people. The second ring was for shops such as blacksmiths, fruits, vegetables, etc. , the third ring was divided in half. One side was for the aristocracy and the other half belongs to the Academy of Magic and Swordsmanship of Gideas . The last ring is the palace of the royal family. We rode through the first, second and third gate and were now in front of the school gates. I took my bag pack and left the carriage. Before the driver left I thanked him and gave him the gold coin he gets for driving me. Now I only need to get to the entrance and do the elemental affinity test. ___________________________________________________________________________________ In the next chapters I will change from [...] to "..." and ''...'' and I read every comment you write, so if you feel like giving me some advise do so. From tomorrow onwards chapters may be released slower because of me being in school but I try to release them at least every two days. Volume 1 - Chapter 04 Elemental Affinity Chapter 04 - Elemental Affinity The wall dividing the Academy and the aristocracy had a simple iron fence like gate. Behind this gate was a simple stone path which led into a plain looking building. Inside this building was a big space where many children at the age of 6 were waiting in a row. Because I knew that this queue was for the elemental affinity test I walked to the end of the queue and waited until it was my turn. Because this may be interesting let me explain how this test is held. It begins with you filling out your application for this Academy, after this is done you proceed into another room there will be measured what kind of mana capacity you are having. To be clear whether you are at the beginning of Rank 1 or at the bottleneck of Rank 1. Afterwards the last and probably the most important part for your time in the Academy and maybe for the rest of your life. The test for the affinity. You have to go into a magic circle which is carved into the floor. Last step putting your hand onto the crystal shaped object which then will show the color of your element. The color for the different elements are Death is black, Life is greenish-yellow, Darkness is blackish- purple, Light is white, Earth is brown, Water is blue, Wind is green, Fire is red and Blood is dark red. While I am at it why don''t I explain how school works? School is rather simple there are twelve classes numbered from 1-12, the school year starts every year in summer. The next school year starts in 2 weeks which is why currently so many people are here to get into the Academy. There is no possibility of skipping school because every child at age of six or seven has to visit school. You can skip a school year if you show them your current rank as Mage or Warrior. If you want to graduate you can choose between an exam after twelve years of being in the Academy or showing that you surpassed Rank 6. In the complete history of this Academy only five people were able to surpass Rank 6 before their eighteenth''s birthday. Every year there is a tournament being held which will determine who is the strongest of each year. But the fight''s between the 11''s and 12''s class is every year the best because them being always the people with the highest ranks. Class 1-4 normally is having rank 1-2 as pupils class 4-7 is usually having rank 2-3, class 7-10 consist mostly out of rank 3-4 and class 11-12 is having rank 4-6. Every year before the new school year begins there are six weeks of holiday for the pupils and most of them will stay inside the Academy because of the long distance to their homes. But the rest whose home is within a day of travel will obviously go home during that time. That should be everything, and now back to the waiting queue. In front of me a girl with pink hair is staring at me.... I try to ignore her......she still looks at me. I give up and look at her only to see her blush and then rashly looking away. I start to grin and think ''the next twelve years just got interesting''. I look how long the queue is until I need to fill out my application only to see that the girl is looking at me again. This time I immediately look at her and she opens her mouth to say something. But there is only a "...ah" sound and she is turning away again. I try to remain my calm and not to be a complete ***hole. So I touch her at the shoulder and ask her " do you want something from me?" she is completely shocked by my sudden move and turns her head and I see that her face is having a bright red color. ''Jackpot'' is my first thought. This cute little girl actually fell in love with me at first sight. I take a closer look to her face only to think that I actually found a goddess. Her brown eyes are giving of a feeling of kindness, her little nose fits perfectly to her cute mouth which just now is wryly smiling. Her body isn''t bad either, a rather athletic body with slender legs. Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Of course at age of six or seven you want see any differences in her upper body. It took her about five minutes before she spoke to me.... I thought I would die before she opens her mouth. " I am Nina Bloodhaven and I thought you might now how this Academy application works" she was rather shy but I thought I would make this angel mine. "I am Alex Peregontias nice to meet you and yes I accidently now how the application works". So I took my time and explained her everything I knew. After I finished the explanation she looked at me like I am a god. Luckily the next person to fill out the application is Nina and I can after her proceed into the next room. The application itself is not complicated you write your name, age and what you want to learn. In my case I wrote Dual which should be sufficient. The amount of people inside the next room was much lower than in the room before. It took not even ten minutes until Nina and me were the next ones to test the mana capacity. Nina placed her hand on the Orb for the test and a dim light appeared inside the Orb. Clearly she is at the beginning of the first Rank. Now my turn ''I will show them that I will be the genius of the next year'' and with that I placed my hand on the Orb. A bright and dazzling light appeared inside the orb. The teacher who was supervising the test looked with a shocked expression at me and announced "First Rank bottleneck" and with that the room went quiet and everybody stared at me. My first impression to the others was ''perfect''. Now they will see me as the genius and won''t bother me. With that in mind I walked towards the last test. I had to call Nina because she was still shocked. "Won''t you know my element Nina" was enough to get her back to reality. The room for the Affinity test was the same as the test for the mana capacity. Only there was a magic formation carved into the ground and a transparent crystal floating in the middle. I walked towards the teacher and he told me to wait because the person in front of me still needs to finish. Because I was curious about what my new classmates look like and which element they are I patiently waited. Suddenly inside of the crystal fog was seen, this fog became more until the inside of the crystal was filled. Then the fog changed color from white to blue to green and so on, until the fog abruptly changed color. The color inside the crystal was..... red. They guy was a Fire Mage or Warrior and happily walked out of the magic formation and towards the exit. Now was my turn. I slowly walked inside the formation and with a knife a made a little cut inside my hand. My hand was now over the crystal and one drop of blood dripped on the crystal. The blood was absorbed and like already seen fog started to build up inside the crystal. The color changed much more than by the guy before. It also took way longer until the fog abruptly changed color. But the result was even more shocking. A black and dark red fog was inside the crystal. Like my mana capacity wasn''t shocking enough I''am also a double element. Death and Blood Magic. _______________________________________________________________________________ I hope you enjoy the chapter. Also I don''t think I am able to release a chapter tomorrow. Volume 1 - Chapter 05 Surprise Motherf*ckers Chapter 05 - Surprise Motherf*ckers Wait WHAT ?!?! Death and Blood Magic? Being a double element is already lucky but then having Death and Blood Magic as affinity. I think this test was somewhat manipulated. For overall understanding, being able to have affinity for one element is almost a given. The only differences is in people having a affinity to the rare element Death, Life and Blood. Out of 250 million humans only one is having a chance to have affinity for one of them. Now for having a double affinity. This is even more rare. Out of the 20 billion people here on Gideas only 6 other people are having a double affinity. And in the complete history of the continent only 100 or so ever had a double affinity. Out of the persons with double affinity only 13 ever had a affinity for one of the three rare elements. There was never before someone with both elements being of the rare elements. I still need to wait for Nina so I move out of the Magic formation and lean myself against a wall and look at her doing the same as me before. However the whole process was finished after 10 seconds. Yes 10 SECONDS. I was dumbstruck, I needed about 4 minutes until I got a result. Yet she, someone at the beginning of Rank 1 was finished after 10 SECONDS!! I couldn''t believe it. More shocking was her affinity.... she got .....Blood Magic.... affinity. Actually I am not the only one with affinity for Blood Magic. That''s pretty cool now I won''t be alone when I need to study Blood Magic. Later on I might have some "special" training sessions with Nina. But before I could think further I see pink hair running straight to me. It is a happy Nina which is shouting " Alex, Alex I also have affinity for Blood Magic. Now isn''t that awesome" because I have plans for the future with her I joyfully say " Yes, now we both are the only persons at the Academy with Blood Magic". By hearing this she actually seems to get even more exited. The completely stunned teacher got a grip of himself and told us to leave the room so that the next could come in. So we left and went straight into the assembly hall were you could speak with students about the classes and training. Because I didn''t need any information about classes or training I asked a rather handsome boy about the dorms and where I could find them. "Little one you have to go to the staff room and should ask there for the teacher supervising the boy dorms. For the girl she should do the same but instead she should ask for the girl dorms." Because this didn''t answer the question about where I could find the dorm I instead asked where I could find the staff room. Luckily he knew where I could find it. " You see this three stories building at the end of the tree-lined road? Well that is the Staff room." Inwardly I was shocked about the Staff room being this big but after a while I thought , for a school of this size that should be pretty normal. "Phew, it took us longer to get here than I thought Nina" was the first thing I said after we walked for 30 minutes straight towards the staff room.... which was actually played on the top of a small hill. Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. We opened the door and in front of us was a small waiting room with a blackboard. There was written < New Students we welcome you, the Welcome ceremony will be held on Monday in two weeks. Until then we hope you enjoy your stay here. Girl dorms for this Year are House G1 -G9 for the boys H1 -H9> Luckily right next to the blackboard there was a map. The map showed were we actually stood and the names of all the building at this academy and were they could be found. because that is what a map does. I quickly found the dorms G and H. Well The dorms were located in the same street of the campus, to be precise. The dorms were opposite to each other. ''hey do they actually want us to rape little girls while we do some pajama parties ?'' was my first thought after noticing this. Nina had a completely other thought " Hey Alex does that mean you will pick me up so that we can walk to class together?" huh? what did she just? Did she. She actually asked THAT. So she wants the ...... ? F*CK, my god damn thoughts again. where did I stop , ah yes she asked me that and I obviously smiled and gave her a nod with a BIG smile. That was enough for her to freak out because of joy. Ah yes and the dorms we will need about another half an hour to get there. The waiting for finishing the application took rather long and it starts to get dark and that''s why I told her to follow me to the dorms. Alongside the path were trees many trees. We could see a lake and some plain grass fields where students were sitting and laughing . After we got into the main road for the dorms we looked to the sides for the sign with . Five minutes later we stood in front of the right dorms. We proceeded and look at the board with the names of everybody living in this dorm road. We don''t need long to find our names and start walking again. I am in dorm H7 and Nina is in dorm G6 . Each dorm is a 4 stories building in which about 60 to 80 students fit. So there are about 700 rooms in every row of dorms. This may sound like too much but out of every Kingdom students come to this Academy. I bring Nina to her dorm and then go to my own. After I open the door to the dorm there is another board with the names of everyone living inside this dorm and his room. '' I hope they remove it after the school starts, I don''t want to be killed in the night because they know where I sleep''. My room is on the second floor room 04. I go to the stair and go upstairs. My room is found easily the letters are carved into the wood of the door and filled out with silver. I open the door and go inside. The room is rather normal, a bookshelf, a wardrobe, a desk, Magic lamps, a chair, a small bath, a window and a rather big bed. My bag pack is taken off and put onto the chair and I start sorting things into the wardrobe. Then I hear someone knocking at my door. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The surprise is her also having Blood Magic affinity..... OR maybe not Anyway I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Volume 1 - Chapter 06 Who dares to knock at my door? Chapter 06 - Who dares to knock at my door ? I am not even finished with unpacking my things and someone already dares to knock at my door ?! Does he have a death wish? Or is he just insane? Anyways I think I should open the door and look who wants something from me. While I walk to the door I start talking " Don''t you know that I just arrived and currently want to unpack my things?" I finish speaking while I open the door. "Hello Alex Peregontias I am the supervisor for the dorms H1- H9 because it sounds like you are stressed I will quickly state why I am here. Breakfast is at 7am - 7:45am, Lunch is at 2pm-3pm and dinner is from 7pm -8 pm. After 11pm you aren''t allowed to leave the dorm. That`s all if you have questions ask for Hubert Lemaar at the staff room." I don''t know what to say right now, the first teacher I treated not like you should ..... was the teacher looking after my dorm. You could also say " I am F*CKED " Because we got only 15 minutes left until dinner I quickly finish unpacking and then rush out to Nina''s dorm and ask for her to come out. After Nina was told that I am waiting outside she immediately rushes out of the dorm and asks " Alex something the matter?". "Yes, dinner starts in 15 minutes so I wanted to know, do you want to eat dinner with me? " Nina blushes after hearing this and I smirk a little after seeing this. "Yup, let''s go together" was her answer and I with that I got one step closer to my goal and we walked towards the dining hall. Luckily there are road signs at the whole Academy what made arriving at the dining hall rather easy. The dining hall is a big building. Well the hall must fit when every student is present about 17000 students. The dining room looks like a big tower. It actually is a big tower with 14 floors. Floor 1 is for the students in class 1 and floor 12 is for the students in class 12. Floor 13 is for the teacher and floor 14 for special occasions. Because we are not even first years we have to eat in the basement. But that is not a big problem because the interior is the same as the one at the first floor. Each floor is having a kitchen where you order your food. Because they can make almost every dish I have the plan to try as many things as possible. But first Nina and myself need to find a spot to sit down, and because there are still 2 weeks left until the school year begins the room isn''t as full as the other floors. We find two seats at a corner and sit down. I look around to see what the others are eating and find something interesting, a steak in the size of your hand put into a bread with salad, tomatoes, cheese and some sauce. I am curious so I ask that fellow what he is eating. While chewing he says "I don''t know I think the guy who ordered this before me called this a burger, and yes this thing is delicious!" I got what I wanted and went to the kitchen with Nina following me, I then ordered a burger and was eager to know for myself how this thing would taste. But at Nina''s order I was slightly shocked " I want blood sausage and chipped potatoes, please" This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. Does that have something to do with her surname being ''Bloodhaven''. I can just hope that she won''t start sucking my blood. Wait that would actually be rather hot. We waited for about 15 minutes before our meals were ready, and we could go back to our seats. I couldn''t wait anymore and started to eat right after we sat down. my first thought after trying a burger was '' God damn why haven''t I found this thing earlier it is so delicious''. And with that thought I started to eat as fast as I could because it was so delicious. Nina was still eating her meal while I was already finished. So I asked if I could try a bit of the blood sausage and she gave me a happy nod. If you don''t want to vomit into the dining hall then don''t try blood sausage. I still can''t believe that I didn''t vomit at that moment, it was just so disgusting. But Nina was laughing like she was crazy. She enjoyed seeing me nearly vomit after trying blood sausage, I can''t blame her I would''ve done the same. I asked her about the dorm and if she already finished unpacking, and so on. It was 8pm as we walked out of the dining hall and headed back to the dorms. The sun was almost vanished from the sky and only some last light rays could be seen. It was about 8.30 pm as we arrived at our dorms and we each walked into our own dorm. But before that, while we don`t have school could go eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. And that during the day I would train. She was totally overjoyed after hearing this and did not walk to her dorm instead she was jumping back to her dorm. I myself headed straight into my room and locked the door. I took a shower and went at 9pm to sleeping. Next morning 5am I stood up like I always do when I need to train. I started with my trainings plan which my parents worked out for me. At 6 pm I finished the 8th set of 40 push-ups and moved to into the shower. At 6.45 am I met with Nina and we went to the dining hall. There again I tried food other students around me were eating. This time Nina was eating something normal scrambled eggs with ham. I already thought she would always eat such crazy things. We finished lunch and I went into my room grabbed the sword my parents gave me and started to infuse a bit of my mana into it until it had a weight of about 30kg. I went into one of the stances my father thought me and started to do sword strokes. I did this until lunch then met with Nina and went to the dining hall, after eating I started my Magic training like I learned from my mother. This continued until dinner. So the 2 weeks until the new school year passed by and the next thing that I like the other ne students have to do, is attending the welcoming ceremony held by the headmaster in the assembly hall. _____________________________________________________________________________ Next chapter the School begins and I hope you enjoyed the chapter. PS. The Prologue isn''t a big para anymore Volume 1 - Chapter 07 School begins Chapter 07 - School begins " I Welcome you all, and I am honored by you choosing this Academy for your education and by placing your trust in this Academy. You will now go into your classes, remember each class consists of 350 students in total 4 classes. Mr. Khortal will now announce his pupils. If your name announced stand up and go into the waiting room. after Mr. Khortal follows Mrs. Dakher then Mr. Thorbuk and last is Mrs. Orbas" Mr. Khortal needed a full hour before he finished announcing every name on his student list, Mrs. Dakher and Mr. Thorbuk both needed about forty five minutes and Mrs. Orbas was the fastest. Because everyone left was for her. Khortal and Thorbuk are for teacher for Swordsmanship and Mrs, Dakher and Mrs. Orbas are teacher for Magic. I am in the class of Mrs. Orbas a forty year old woman with brown hair a slender body and green eyes. Our class follows Mrs. Orbas until we reach our class room. It actually is one Building with 4 classrooms inside. So every class is having lessons in the same building. We go after Mrs.Orbas into room 1c of the building and take a seat to sit. "Hello I am Dhara Orbas, I am a Rank 8. Wind Magus, but please just call me Dhara. And now I want everyone present to introduce himself, also please state your magic affinity." She seems to be a nice teacher, which is pretty close with his students. while I am still in my own thoughts the first row starts the introducing it goes "Water, Water, Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Fire, Wind,.." 30 minutes passed since the beginning and there are only two people left before it''s my turn. "Hello I am Debby McKharton seven years old, my affinity is Fire, please treat me nice" "Hello I am Baldwin Urlaz six years old and my affinity is Earth, please treat me nice" finally it''s my turn "Well Ok so I am Alex Peregontias six years old, my affinity is Blood and Death, currently at the bottleneck of Rank 1, please treat me nice" ''have I overdone it? nah not possible. But why do they stare at me?'' That was when I noticed that I actually told my current Rank. Dhara was so nice to step in "the person next to Alex now please." Anyway just now I completed my goal of being number one. After another fifteen minutes the last one introduced himself. Dhara then began speaking again. "Well now that we know each other let''s continue, lessons are everyday after lunch until dinner. Be sure to be on time. We see us again tomorrow ." I was pretty happy the Lesson today was only for giving us a time plan and to get to know each other. But for me it wasn''t just that. "Alex Peregontias would you please come to me I want to talk with you." My heart dropped, ''did I do something? But we haven''t done anything today, does she want to speak about my affinity?'' that were my thoughts after hearing this. Because you shouldn''t disobey a teacher I obviously walked down to her. " Please follow me into my office, I want to talk about your lessons. Your lessons will be different." "Why will my lessons be different?" she didn''t answer me, she just walked away into what should be her office. I followed into her office and there she told me to sit down. "Alex you are the only one ever with a double affinity for rare elements, furthermore you want to become a Dual right?" I simply nod because I have a feeling she will kill me if I talk now. "Ok if that''s the case wait here I will go and get Toby" She leaves the room and I don''t know who this Toby is, Well he could only be another teacher, maybe he is a teacher for Dual lessons? Before I can think about anything else there appears a flash of light in the room. This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. "Hello Alex, my name is Toby Warcain I am the instructor for the Dual education. Dhara just now informed me about your case and I couldn''t wait to meet you." He gives me his hand and I take his hand and shake it " Nice to meet you Mr.Warcain, the pleasure is mine. To be able to meet the Dual instructor..." I try flattering him because he may have some advice for me. "In this Academy there is only me for Dual education. I wish that you come every day after dinner to me. I will watch over your training progress and give you hints for advancing to the next rank." "Mr.Warcain could you tell me where I should meet you?" he looks satisfied and says " That''s pretty easy we will meet every day in your classroom. Today you don''t need to come we already discussed everything for today." "Then I will see you tomorrow Mr. Warcain" with that I left the office and walked out of the building. The weather was pretty nice today, it is warm and there are no clouds in the air and the birds are singing in the trees. Therefore I thought that I would mediate under a tree until dinner time. After I walked for some time I found a big tree and went straight towards the tree. I sat down in the shadow and started my mediation. I heard some whispers while I was in my mediation but I couldn''t care less so I ignored them. What I didn''t knew was that the students of year 1 already knew about me and when they saw me sitting under a tree mediating, they pointed at me and took me already as the most powerful first year. Some walked by with anger in their face and spoke loudly to the others " Ha this guy is such a liar, there was never someone with affinity for two rare elements and now this guy without wealth out off a poor farmer family is having it? He is fooling you, and being at the bottleneck of Rank 1 at age of six? hahahaha" I still continued my mediation because fights not held in the school arena will be punished. But this guy still kept going with his provocations. " See he doesn''t do anything against me he actually keeps silent like a p*ssy. If I would fight against him he would piss himself because of fear. hahah" That was enough! I opened my eyes and looked around who this bastard was. I found him quickly he was some noble son. wearing the luxury school uniform with gold and silver attachments. He wasn''t ugly either but right now his face was filled with disbelief and anger. He probably wanted to take the top position of this year, but now I picked it up. I coldly looked at him until he noticed, then I stood up and said " Hey you bastard, it''s ok if you don''t believe me but because you insulted my family I will show you that you are far inferior to me and I can crush you like an ant. So how about you and me in the School arena tomorrow?" This snob seemed like he got what he wanted and spoke" Hey why not now do you fear me?" "I definitely don''t fear some sort of snob who thinks he can do everything because his parents are rich but right now I am exhausted from mediation therefore I need rest." with that said I walked away and went to the dorms to sleep a bit until dinner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Damn these bullies again... Oh shit I thought about this God damn bully. I hope you enjoy the chapter. Volume 1 - Chapter 08 Getting Ready Chapter 9 - School Arena < evening > Nina and I are sitting in the dining hall , speaking to each other while eating dinner. I told her about the duel I will have tomorrow and that this cocky bastard and son of a wh*re should be prepared to get his fat ass ripped apart. While I was talking totally vulgar she looked at me and giggled. Maybe because I was so god damn pissed about this motherf*cker. She told me that he wouldn''t stand a chance against me and my skills. "Alex this guy is only a swordsman what could he do against you, who is training in both Magic and Swordsmanship?" I thought about it and calmed down a bit but I still wanted to beat this guy into a pulp. He told my family is poor and I am some kind of a low class farmers son. BULLSH*T I am the son of Gunther Peregontias , we are the branch family of the royal Perigontia family. By insulting us ,he is insulting the Perigontia family too, and with that he is insulting the whole country Perigontia. If I don''t beat him now I wouldn''t want to live on with this shame lasting on me. We finished dinner and I told Nina to walk to the dorm alone because I still need something from the staffroom. I wanted to tell Mr. Warcain that I will have a duel tomorrow and that if he wants could watch as well. At the staffroom I politely knocked on the door and waited until someone opened the door. " Hey young man what can I do for you at this late hour?" actually it wasn''t that late it was 7:30 pm, but that isn''t important right now, so I spoke " could you call Toby Warcain over ?I have something to tell him and want his approval." The woman who opened the door was now having a shocked expression. "D-D-Does that mean you are a Student enrolled for Dual teachings?" " Actually, yes and that''s why I want to talk to my supervisor right now, if you would be as nice to call him over now?" "Ah yes wait a moment I will call him over right now, ah before that I need your name to tell him who has called." "sure it''s...." at this moment someone came at the path behind Alex and leisurely spoke "Alex what are you doing here our daily meeting starts tomorrow. hahah, to can''t wait huh?" " Ah Mr. Warcain good thing I found you, I need to discuss something rather important with you, so if we could go into a room nobody else can listen to us?" Mr. Warcain didn''t know what to say and could only guess, what he wanted '' hmm whats so important we only met today and this is his first school day?'' he thought a little longer and then came to a conclusion ''I am pretty sure it has something to do with the arena fight some first years want to do tomorrow!" Mr. Warcain then nodded and told me to follow him into the staffroom. There was a small room with a table and some chairs around it. He then told me to sit on of these chairs and did the same. " So what you want to discuss something with me, if my guess is correct it should have something to do with the arena fight of the first years that was announced to us today." You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. "You are right Mr. Warcain, actually it is me who is fighting tomorrow..." "YOU SAY WHAT!!" "I repeat I will fight tomorrow, because the other guy insulted my family and that is something I will not tolerate, so I wanted to inform you about this and that you are free to watch the fight along with the other spectators." I was already preparing to get up and leave as he told me to wait. " So it''s like that. hmm your opponent truly is an idiot, to get into a fight at the first day. Without knowing the other party''s strength." he began to laugh. So I stepped in " Oh and does this school have someone who is capable of healing broken and shattered bones? Because I may overdue it with my Magic." "You want to show them that by insulting your family they will face your wrath? or is that wrong and you just hate this guys?" "I think it''s both" I said while smirking like the devil himself. "We actually have someone who can heal such things, Abby Dakher the other teacher for Magic you should have seen at the welcoming ceremony" " That''s great, now I am more at ease while beating this guy into a pulp! " With that I stood up and left the room. I directly went into my dorm and went to bed to catch some sleep. While I was sleeping I tried to scratch every information I got about Blood spells together to get the perfect overkill tactic. I stood up at six o''clock, took a shower, dressed myself and went to meet with Nina. We walked into the dining hall while chatting with each other, ate and then I had to take Swordsman ship lessons. But because today was only introducing the basic stances to them I didn''t need to attend. Therefore I got back into my room and went on with looking for Blood Magic spells in my memory. Now it is 11:30 am and in thirty minutes the fight will begin. So I stood up and started to walk towards the Arena. I passed the dorms, the dining hall, the classrooms, the School entrance and could finally see the Arena appearing in front of me. I looked at the big tower at the sport grounds and it showed 11:50 am. I still got time to get there and so I walked for about another five minutes until I stood in front of this massive Arena. ___________________________________________________________________________ Puhh. Well Shit now I got you. And sorry to say this now but...... tomorrow I can''t release a chapter. But therefore I try to bring out 2 chapters on one of the other days. I still hope you enjoyed the chapter. and have a nice weekend. Volume 1 - Chapter 09 Time for a duel Chapter 9 - Time for a duel I stand in front of the School Arena, and the Arena is massive. (I think of the coliseum in Rome) I walk towards one of the many entrances and proceed further to the fighting area. Inside the Arena I see some people already waiting. And the bastard is already standing in the middle of the Arena. He is holding two wooden swords, as is seeing me coming he throws one sword on the floor and moves away and takes a stance. The stance seems lousy maybe because he learned the stances only today. I jump into the fighting area and walk to the sword. There I pick it up and take some steps back to get into a stance myself. I took a stance which my father recommended for doing 1vs1. I placed my left arm behind my back and placed my right foot a bit before my left foot. Brought the sword in a position where it was in held up in the middle before my face. Before the match started I needed to do one last thing "Blood Enhancement" I spoke the words and my veins popped out slightly. Blood Enhancement is a beginner skill of Blood Magic and it strengthens the blood flow and the nourishment the blood is giving the body. The Magic will also grow stronger with each rank, a rank one cast will only strengthen the body for about 5% while a rank 10 cast will give you 150%. I also have a skill which I will use against this fellow if he is better than expected "Blood Impair". This will slow down the flowing speed of blood and will do the opposite effect of "Blood Enhancement". So he will lose about 5% of his power. "I am ready how about you?" I asked this bastard and he with a satisfied smile replied " I waited hours until you arrive of course I am ready!" Someone who was assigned as referee counted 3.....2.....1.... FIGHT! With that said the bastard kicked the ground and dashed towards me with his sword raised. As he was in front of me because I didn''t move he slashed from my left shoulder diagonally downwards but it wasn''t fast enough, so I took a step back and dodged. Now he was enraged because he thought it would be an easy win for him, but unfortunately, Alex was pretty skilled with handling a sword. So he rushed in a bow towards me to try a back step but I moved to the side turned around and before he appeared in front of me I thrust my sword forwards. The bastard was speechless because I hit him in the solar plexus and he frantically tried to breathe while he was kneeling on the ground. While he was trying to catch breath I took some steps back I got back into my stance and waited for him. He needed about two minutes until he stood up again and focused his eyes on me. His satisfied smile long ago vanished and a rather ugly and angry face was now what I saw. While his eyes showed disbelief. This time it was me who was on the offensive, so I was running straight to him without unnecessary movements. I closed the distance of 30 meters in 3 seconds and chopped with my sword against his left arm. I was satisfied because I heard the sound of bones breaking, which was a sign, for me crushing his left arm. I then jumped back and immediately afterwards charged at him again. Meanwhile he was under immense pain and his left arm was hanging lifeless on the side while he frantically tried to hold the sword with the right hand to block the next attack. I swung my sword against his, kicked against his right leg and he lost his balance. While he was falling to the ground I swung my sword again but this time against his right arm. My sword connected with his arm and there was the sound of bones breaking. Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site. He was now lying on the ground with both arms crushed, tears in the eyes while screaming. I looked towards the referee and he understood. "The Winner is Alex Peregontias, due to his opponent Fargus Dikenzie being unable to fight any longer" The fight was over and the people that were watching the fight discussed with each other and slowly stood up and left the Arena. I canceled "Blood Enhancement" and slowly walked out of the fighting Area and then out of the Arena. I walked from the Arena to the dining hall because lunch will be served soon and I don''t want to miss that. As I entered the dining hall many students looked at me. and some girls were whispering while I walked past them. ''that feels quite good. haha I hope Nina likes me as much as those girls.'' With that I found a girl with pink hair a still perfect body shape............ and a pretty angry expression. ''Shit did I do something I shouldn''t? I can''t remember making Nina angry with anything I did. So what''s the case?'' As I sat down Nina frowned while her face was filled with disgust. So I ask "Hey Nina what''s the case? It looks like you don''t like me anymore." Nina looked at me and plainly said " Your fighting style is total shit. I mean if you have affinity for one of the rare elements. Then use this element and don''t just use brute force." I wanted to say something but was interrupted "For example why didn''t you use "Blood Edge" for you wooden sword or you could even have use "Spherical Blood" so tell me why haven''t you done so?!" I was at a total loss for words. That''s not because I didn''t knew what to say. It was because she was totally right. With "Blood Edge" I could have suppressed the healing of the body, by changing the blood properties inside the body which would have caused immense pain and could be only removed with healing Magic or me withdrawing the Magic. "Spherical Blood" is even more terrifying, you form with little droplets of you own blood about five to ten blood spheres. Of course with a higher rank you are able to form more, but each sphere will be shot at the opponent and then out of the wounds of the opponent will new spheres be created and the opponent will be attacked again and again until he dies or the Magic is withdrawn. So yes why didn''t I use them. It could''ve been an easy win but I risked the chance of a loss due to me being filled with rage and entering a fight with relying on brute force. That is the simplest way of fighting but I want to become a Dual so I need to fuse Magic fights and Sword fights. Nina seeing that I found out what I have done looked happy and asked what I want to eat and she would get it for me. Finding out that Nina only wanted to think again about how I fought and pointing out my failure during this fight was indeed not something she wanted to do. It was something she had to because I am currently the only other Blood Magic user in this Academy. ________________________________________________________________________ I tried my best at writing a fighting scene and yes I know I have to learn how to make these fighting scenes interesting. I still hope you enjoyed the chapter Dropped Well I thought it might be nice to tell that I wont continue this story. 1: I lost all my files that contained planned characters, continents, ranking systems, etc. 2: I had no time to write as i was finishing school and had to prepare for that. (I made my Abitur which you could compare with the A-levels of the UK) 3: When I finally got time to write I was reading the chapters again only to notice that i completly F*cked up the originally planned plot. 4: I wanted to have massiv world building going on in the first 10-20 chapters but cut that way to short. 5: My english was way too bad a year ago which didnt allow me to write as detailed and grammatical correct as i wished for it. If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. All in all Ive put the story into my imaginary trashbin only to be taken out again when I have completly fixed my errors and the Story is finished. I''m sorry for never making this announcment which is way overdue. Nonetheless I am thinking about writing ( at least I want to try it) a new Story, This time the chapters will be preplanned and edited. Also i will give myself more time to write as It was quite hard to write a chapter daily. I am not sure which genres I will pick but I am fairly sure that magic or something comparable will be included.
