Chapter 39

Mark dreamt at that night, the same night the pirates departed.

He saw the items from his inventory that got sucked away from his private domain... And he also saw himself afloat the river of time and space, his original body, he couldn't move but he could sense and feel his surrounding. He saw small dots from the sky which derives as planar worlds and the irregular flow of the river that made of particles and dust that Contains the essence of time and space was in turbulence. Most of his things suddenly become a small stone like size and shoots directly to a certain dust.

What he feared the most was, his summoning type items which he was an avid collector of, scattered in different worlds, all of his invasion type summoning item like blood tears which summons an army of cthulhu fiends, plague crest which summons an undead army, and many others. There were also weapons and various items that could summon monster that could help him as ally like the lightning falchion, which was blessed with lightning energy and could summon a lightning spirit to help.

Many things have already sucked up by many stars and few items left in his current plane like the storage pouch that katrina had.

The remaining items and mark suddenly falls down from the river and into the void, waking him up from the dream.

....

The next day, the final day where mark could be able to attend the academy.

It was only a mock duels among children and not noteworthy about, mark expected the woman that nearly killed him will show up there but to his disappointment, not everything goes as he expect it to be.

He gave up halfway in semifinal and surrendered, that also gave way for edelina to show his prowess in shamanic arts.

Mark swiftly ended the match by breaking there wooden weapons with his wooden spear coated with moonforce energy. The reason he gave up on the semifinal was, his weapon broke by overusing the aura blade skill and the weapons durability depletes.

What dazzling about it is, unlike any other normal weapon break. Since coating it with moonforce energy, it will emanate faint divisible glow but once the weapon durability become sucked dry by the skill.

The sword becomes fragments until it reduce to smithereens with a fireworks like glow effect. What he done caught the attention of experts and few masters that was watching kids fight.

In the next day.

He was given the academy badge as an ID and a uniform that fits him.

And that was the day he continued his new school life.

...

Grandel City, Siegfried kingdom.

Grandel was a city that was occupied by the Duke fibron's family, an enterplanar conqueror and a business family that owns many planes that contain vast resources and they do business through the primary plane, altaria.

In the North-Western part of city lies the mansion of duke fibron, it was rather eye catching and the decorations are extravagant. But the mansion was styled like a big mansion in renaissance era.

Inside the duke's office was Duke fibron relentlessly walking back and forth besides the big window. He was showing a sign of desperation in his face and was deeply thinking about something was bugging him.

Duke fibron wears ducal dress with a badge near his chest, he had black eyes and a black spiky hair.

After his relentless walking, he sat down at his chair, looking at a paper with words written on it.

Then suddenly a butler came into the office, holding the tray containing a teapot and a cup professionally and spoke.

"my lord, your tea"

The butler pour down the tea into the cup and put it on the desk. carvel fibron, the Duke spoke.

"did father change his mind?"

"unfortunately, not my lord." replied the butler.

Carsel furrowed his brows and was impatient about the plans he submitted that they wouldn't approved.

"why not? Do they wanted to prolong this centuries old feud with those long eared natives? Are they planning to make peace after our ancestors pave their way for the family. Even if we suffer countless losses over a centuries of war, we can't back down or else we will be push out in this land" as he spoke, he grab a metal armament in the table, it was a simple gun, a pistol.

Looking at it, he suddenly remember the word his father parted to him.

-son, guns are useless in this era, sword with their speed and precision can bested a bullet speed, slashing them like a table knife slicing a butter. Archers could swiftly avoid them with their magic-infused arrow could counterattack with a piercing strike and magician can block bullets using barrier magic. Strangely enough, guns are incapable of mana infusion in proficient way. Even crossbow can be infused with mana energy by touching the arrow until it flew, a person cannot strengthen the bullet inside as it magazine was close. Son, don't think irrationally if you wanted our family to success. -

"It's not irrational to think of this plan, but certainly no one, even my father believe that the giant fang of a beast is safe to unleash... So captain zelke what is your opinion to this matter" he asked the butler who were holding a tray standing motionless beside him.

"Your highness-"

"wait, don't call me that. Like I said, I'm a noble, not a royalty. I'm already pushed out of the succession after marrying eryndele. How many times do I have to tell you that captain zeke."

"but your highness, you are still align to the fibron bloodline, thus making you a royalty in this land. But since you ascended into a Duke, I will do as you said. But you must also refrain from calling me 'captain' as I've regressed into a mere butler and I'm no longer a Knight serving into the order" zeke the butler spoke in a calm manner.

"but it is weird that you quit the Knight just to serve me as a butler, you have a good skills in swordsmanship. Even father was pleased with your ability, you could even be transfered to the main family if you didn't quit. For what reason for you to join me" carvel glare at him in a serious way.

Zeke swiftly kneel towards him, the wine and cup remain motionless despite how fast he react with his left arm crossed in his chest "my lord, as I have said, I will serve you and be by your side for as long as I live"

"so your on my side?"

"yes, my lord" as soon as carvel heard this he rose from his seat and walk across the door while speaking.

"good, if those old folks didn't have any consideration about my plan in the next 7 years. The same time when the fang stabilizes, then will do it without there permission and let those elven natives see who own this plane. This is for fibron"

Zelke stands up while giving way for carvel "your grace, this is such a brilliant plan, I have no words to describe it"

"yes, the fibron family might rise into the rankings if we won this battle and finally conquered the plane" and carsel walk out of the office, with an upset expression mounted in his face.

" 7 years of preparation, huh let's see what will that stubborn old man decide'"

As he walk a black robed man appeared in his side holding a pen and a paper.

"so doctor tyarmon what is the progress of your work? Is it able to work out?"

"your grace, I have bad news and good news for our project"

"give me the bad news first"

"your grace, the summoner artifact that we secretly research upon will needed at least 9 and a half year before it reactivates"

Carsel slam the wall and it was bust opened. with carcel strength even a mana enhance house wall got destroy.

"what that long?! No matter, those natives scum can live a leasure life not worrying about age while we human does not even have a century till we die... Sigh then tell me the good news"

"the good news is, it will become stronger that it was previously is once it can be reactivate"

"keep up with it and do it secretly, it is my backup plan once the beast fang failed, now dismiss"

"as your grace wish, this researcher will take his Leave"

Then Carsel call someone and made them repair the broken wall yet again.

...

A day later after he completed the test, he came to the school after his evaluation was confirmed and was accepted at the blue leaf academy.

He was then given the blue leaf uniform and a badge that symbolizes the blueleaf academy.

The badge has a bronze plating and a depiction of a heart-shaped blue leaf that symbolizes the blunear tree full heart leaf, this type of blunear tree is a one of a kind variant of it.

There were also some branches in the badge, enhancing it's delicate craftsmanship.

Unlike the uniform, the badge has few functions, it can cast a temporary shield when a sudden attack got detected, and it also help in mana cultivation which made mark grateful. It also simply just a symbol of hierarchy in school just by looking at the visible plating.
