YM778.TV Chapter 47: Friends
On a high building, Aaron stood with his hands folded on his chest, moving his gaze around the city, these hours he had been in the city he learned a lot. The Academy was said to be a place where all races could come together for a common goal...
...They might be brought together with the promise of training, and giving them the powers and resources to defeat the Cursed child (AKA; Aaron).
If that’s the case, why are some with bodyguards?
These kids might be in the same class, doing activities together, but aren’t safe, for example... The Dwarves, these race was having it harder than other kids, and their worst enemies were the Elves. So... This logic of working together is clearly not achieved here.
In the academy or class, they are on their best behavior, but when in the city, bullying and fighting was everywhere, even if guards were around, they’ll take their race’s side, even though they were wrong.
The Orcs were huge even their kids, so they were rarely bullied... But even these guys has the strength to bully the Dwarves...
To his shock, the strongest race he heard in the restaurant, is the humans... Even with all these races in Elvis... The Humans have the biggest territory, and the king crowned himself as an Emperor... These made him understand Aura’s influence in both the academy and the city.
The second-strongest is the Elves, the kids he had met here are all arrogant, and always with bodyguards following behind them... Maybe he hasn’t seen the one who’s good and not so self-righteous.
The third were the most calm and quiet kids in the academy, The Beast folks. These kids with bodies of half human and animals were formidable, they’re always seen either reading or doing something else, but when crossed; you’ll regret it for life, their Animalistic behavior and attack force... You’ll never think of facing one if you survive.
Then the Orcs and lately; the Dwarves... Another thing he learned was, these kids have no idea demons existed, they don’t even know if there’s a third Continent.
’Maybe this will be revealed after they graduated.’
Aaron was still confused why no race is allowed to enter the second continent, Neither the first nor second continents are allowed to head there, the whole continents were even sealed off by a powerful formation... Stopping adventures from entering.
’We’ll see about that, after I’m done Conquering the Continents, I’ll check you out.’
"What Is a kid doing outside at this hour?"
Aaron sighed, he detected her 30 meters away, but just chose to ignore her... Out of respect, which means nothing to him... He turned around with a smile.
{All Seeing Eyes.}
{Name: Mariel Max.}
{Realm: Sky.}
{Class:Elite-Mage.}
{Race: Elf.}
{Strength: 3,000.}
{Agility: 2,500.}
{Defense: 1,500.}
{Endurance: 3,500.}
{Affinity Mastered: Fire, Wind, Water, and Light.}
{Attack: 700. Critical - 1,500.}
{Health point: 5,000.}
{Improvement: (You can only see Improvement if the target is related to you... Example: Love, Family Relationship, or friends.}
The "Improvement" in the All Seeing Eyes was something he discovered the moment he met the princesses.
"Yes, Miss Mariel?"
He looked up at the mage, sitting on her staff.
"You know me?"
Mariel slowly descended towards him, she got down from her staff, and walked up to Aaron.
"Of Course, Everyone know you as the Magic teacher in the Academy, and also tomorrow registration registrar."
Mariel observed the black raven on Aaron’s right shoulder for a moment, then turned her gaze to Aaron.
"Ok... But why are you standing here all alone? Don’t you have money to book an Inn?"
"I like the night sky, it’s the only thing which is one with me."
Aaron smiled, hiding the fact that he got stronger under the night sky, and full Moon., even the sun powers him up, everything in Elvis powers him up.
Mariel looked up at the night sky, then lowered her gaze to him: "Are you partaking in the registration tomorrow?" She asked.
"Yes, I’m here for a friend, if you know her--"
"--A girl?" Mariel smirked:
"Is she the reason you are here?"
"Yes, I figure the only way to see her is to register, there’s another way, But I don’t think the Academy will like it."
Yeah, Burning it to the ground.
"I don’t know the second way, but true, if you want to see her; you can only enter the Academy... Hmm... Is she a mage? Maybe I can help you her."
"No." Aaron shook his head.
"She’s an Assassin class." He added.
"Wow, I’m impressed, Females mostly awaken Mage or priest class, only a few awaken other class... What is her name?"
Aaron thought for a moment, he didn’t think of it sooner, if Emily decides to enter the enemies’ territory, she’ll most likely change her name.
"I don’t know."
Now his answer stunned Mariel.
"You don’t know her name, but you remember her appearance, right?"
"Yes, can we change the subject? I have a question."
"No problem, I’m guessing it isn’t my business... So what is your question?"
"Who is the strongest in this Academy?"
"The Dean, of course... He’s in the Supreme Realm, then the guardians who are all Legendary Realm... Then us teachers."
She walked past him, staring at the city below.
"I don’t know how you’ll pass the tests without having Sid energy, this mission of yours on finding this girl won’t be easily achieve."
"Thanks."
Mariel looked at him over her shoulder, and smiled: "Here."
She turned around, open his hand, and place 10 Gold Coins on his palm.
"Use this and book a room, don’t sleep here tonight." She walked towards her staff after saying that.
"What do you think about the Cursed Child everyone is talking about?" Aaron suddenly asked, stopping her on track.
Mariel turned to him, her smile still on her face... "I can see you’re a half elf, so I’ll tell you a secret."
She walked back to him and crouched down.
"The Cursed Child is just a prophecy, I don’t really believe that a child will be born to destroy our would without being influence by those around him... Or her... What I’m saying is, Children are born pure, none have the mindset to kill without reasons."
"If this is your belief, what are you doing here, training kids to fight him... Or her?"
"Just following orders, And I like teaching kids." She stood up.
"Don’t tell anyone, but the mother of the Cursed Child is my best friend, I just hope she’s ok."
A frown appeared on Aaron’s face, everything this elf has said from the start were all true, but...
"If she’s your best friend, why did you hunt her when she was pregnant with him... Or her?"
"How did you know that?" A deep frown appeared on Mariel’s face.
"I saw you guys chasing her into the Flesh Eaters’ forest a year back."
’Who is this kid? Is he saying the truth? Or is he the Cursed Child? Or have any relationship with Aurora?! No! That can’t be possible, there is no way he’s the Cursed Child, this kid is way older than a one-year-old.’ After some thought, then sighed:
"Following orders, I hope to see you Tomorrow." She sat on her staff, stared at Aaron for a few seconds, then nodded at him.
Aaron, and Protean stared at her as she flew away on her staff.
"Was she saying the truth?" Protean asked, turning his head to Aaron.
"Yes, I’m just surprised Mum didn’t mention having a friend in her story."
"Well... We can ask her another time."
Aaron just nodded, he opened his palm, staring at the Gold Coins:
"Hmm... I’ll repay her back."
___
In one of the Females’ Dormitory, a human girl with red hair and black eyes, lied on her bed with eyes open, Lost in thought.
’How are you doing now, my Prince? I hope you succeeded in absorbing the Ruby... What am I saying, I know you will... I don’t know why I even agreed to come to this Academy, life here is a hell... Especially being an outer student... I know you’ll come and take me back...
Who would have thought once you joined, you won’t be able to leave? Well... You can, if you have a high amount of points, which I don’t dream of having even in a year... I have been in this Academy for six months now... Hiding my powers isn’t really beneficial to me...’
"Hey, Lori. Don’t tell me you are lost in thought again."
Lori smiled hearing the voice of her Best friend, Stellar... Stellar was a half bunny and human, her cute bunny ears are the best things Lori like to play with, especially when she wanted to tease her.
Stellar lowered her upper body below the bunk bed, staring at her only friend in the outer section.
"I’m just thinking--"
"--Of him again?" Stellar cut her off.
Lori turned her body to face her friend: "I shouldn’t have told you about him."
Stellar rolled her eyes, and jumped down from her bed, she then sat down on Lori’s bed.
"Come on, how do you feel?"
"Like he’s close by."
"Eh?!" Stellar exclaimed, and covered her mouth the next moment, moving her gaze around the huge room.
"Close by?" She asked in a whisper, "You mean Aaron is in the city?"
"I don’t know." Lori heaved a soft sigh.
"Ok then, if he’s truly in the city, he must be here for the registration tomorrow... We must go and spectate... You can’t say no to that."
Lori just smiled, seeing her friend so excited about seeing Aaron, who neither of them has no idea if he’s even in the city.
"Ok, we’ll go and spectate tomorrow."
"Yay!" She yelled in a whisper.
