Recruiting 2

Damien got surprised, he felt the current Aamon in front of him was 10 times more dangerous than before,an invisible pressure weighted down on him,he felt like a prey being stared at by a predator.

'What the...'

But remembering his goal, he said without hesitation

"Im willing to do so young master."

As soon as he said this he felt Aamon reverted back to his original self and that invisible pressure disappeared.

But what he saw the next moment made him a bit hesitant.

Aamon placed a black mana contract in front of him with a pen.

He slowly took another sip of his wine as he calmly said

"You see, Mr Grey,I don't have faith in human relationships,things like trust, love,friendship,or... family,thier all some pretty lies.

If ones life is on the line, he won't hesitate to betray all of these,thus, the only way I can trust you is through this contract,read it, and if you agree, sign it."

Damien strangely enough felt like him and Aamon share the same opinion

He took the contract and carefully started reading it,after few moments he said

"In exchange for young masters help

I should sell my soul to you and serve you for the rest of my life?."

Aamon calmly said

"It's a fair deal, isn't it Mr Grey,in addition to that I will give you enough elixirs to awaken you after signing the contract.

I will give you a house near my villa in Capital, a fee of

5 million credits for your service,every month.

"and....I will make you a part of my elite servant squad. By making you a free man,there are 2 seniors

above you Though, they already awakened and their prowess far exceeds yours,you have to catch up to them."

Damien knew who Lancasters were and the weight of a promise that their future heir was giving

"Yes I understand young master...the price for what I'm asking is my life,

Well, fair enough."

Damien picked up the pen and wrote his name on the contract,while he infused the small amounts of mana he had in it.

The contract broke apart immediately afterward.

Aamon satisfied took another sip of wine

'Now 3 of them are in my possession,9 more to go.'

Aamon took out 5 bottles with a shining blue liquid inside it,that had many small white dots in them like stars trapped in a blue universe,shimmering very beautiful.

Damien eyes were about to fall out from shock,as he couldn't believe his eyes

'These bottles,don't tell me thier..!!'

"Mr Grey this is my gift to you,these are high grade elixirs of Mana,one of them is more than enough to awaken you,use the rest to catch up to your seniors."

Damien stood up and bowed deeply

"Thank you young master,I'll never forget this favor."

"It's nothing,please don't be formal."

Since awakening someone ment giving them a new life, it was considered the biggest gift anyone could receive.

'I wonder with this boost how much I've changed your future.'

Tomorrow morning

(Aamon's POV)

I went to class after I instructed Damien how to digest the mana elixirs.

'I gave a request to Nadia last night for some proper mana breathing technique and dual swords martial manual.'

(Nadia AKA his secretary at Ares guild)

I opened the door as some high ranking nobles flocked to my side and congratulated me on my achievement

But I noticed a new face here a one filled with hatred or maybe jealousy?

'Violet Cross,so you finally came to this class.'

The reason she was in class S-2 was that she didn't want to see Aamon ever again after their marriage got annulled

So she deliberately lowered her performance on the academy recruitment test.

I slowly made my way towards Emily after I finished my conversation with various nobles,except Tyler, of course, and his 2 henchmen.

He seems to hate me for what I did to Olivia in the tower.

"Brother, you became even more popular, I heard you have a fan club now too."

Emily said with a teasing tone

"Sigh~they can do whatever they want since I'm not interested.

"That's cold~, brother,but that's so like you. Oh, before I forget, your ex fiance came here too."

As she said that my attention shifted to Violet that was sitting in front of Sophia and Olivia's row,she was alone too,from time to time Olivia would try to talk to her.

'Well with her character I doubt anyone would want to sit beside her.'

"Aamon don't you think she's pitiful I feel bad for her,should I invite her here after a.."

I cut her off

"Mind your own business,if you have time to worry about others,how about you and me do some training after the classes are over."

She jolted up quickly

"O-on second thought I ve got to study."

Then like any other normal day miss clara came but before anything she congratulated the new faces in the class for thier promotion,then the magic theory began.

A boring class I would say

Combat class

*Aamon's POV*

As I picked up my sword, I noticed something strange.

'Why is nobody coming towards me for training? Did I scare them?.'

Not even Sophia came towards me or Tyler

'Sigh~guess gotta find Emily then.'

As I started walking towards a corner I heard a familiar sound reaching out to me

"Young duke would you spar with me?"

I turned around and saw someone unexpected standing with an obvious fake smile

'Violet Cross,what's she up to.'

I smiled like always as I responded

"Oh, it's lady Cross,it's been a while since we last met."

Violet responded

"Yes,it's been years,would you give me the honors."

She was inviting me to a corner of the training hall for a friendly spar

"Please the pleasure is all mine."

But to Me it was anything but friendly

More like she wanted to Stab me or something then pretend it was an accident

'Dont worry you little kitty,I'll play until your satisfied.'

We stood still towards each other

As I could feel her subtle murderous intent that was leaking from her time to time

Fuuu!

I took a deep breath as she rushed towards me

Clank! Clank! Swoosh!

Our swords met as I parried each and every attack of hers,they were all aimed at my vital organs, Neck,heart or my groin

I parried her right Slash as I aimed my sword at her heart

She responded by jumping backwards in time to avoid it

Each and every one of her slashes had a tremendous force behind it,her movements were majestic and at the same time deadly

Clank! Doof!!

I dodged her Stab as I landed my knee on her stomach throwing her back a couple of steps

She was looking at me in disbelief

'What?,you thought I wouldn't hit you because your a girl?'

Suddenly she smiled ruthlessly as she rushed at me

Clank!

Our swords connect it, in a brief moment I whispered to her

"You should drop the act little kitty."

As I said this her she grabbed her sword with two hands as she pressed mine down

"You know how much I was waiting for this,you self centered jerk!."

Bam!

She tried Hitting my groin with her knee as I used my leg to block her mid air

"Oh the little kitty has grown some fangs"

As I said this to her I felt an strange pleasure from her getting bullied by me

Clank!

As she disconnected her sword,she took a moment before rushing at me again and again.

I just to annoy her i parried her every attack without responding

Clank!!

Our swords connected as I heard a whisper from her

"Now take this from me as a meeting gift."

Bam!

She hit me with a hard headbutt,as her forehead bled too.

I stumbled backwards as a sharp pain from my nose assaulted me

A few warm droplets of blood fell on my hands.

Many students saw this as few of them stopped thier training to see what's going on.

Violet on the other hand smirked like she achieved something great

"You asked for this Violet."

This time I rushed forward without being lenient,as I stopped holding back my strength

Swoosh! Clank!

Sparked were flying from our swords

As I relentlessly slashed at her without giving her any room to breath or analyze her situation

The loud metallic sound echoed as I slashed more and more,all Violet could do was to defend my Ruthless slashes

Clank! Doof!!

This time I parried her sword before it connected and landed a powerful punch at her stomach,she Nearly threw up her breakfast as she fell on her knees,struggling hard to breathe

I wiped the blood from my nose as i

I squatted down and whispered to her ear

"You little kitty,should I remind,who you belong to."

Her face turned red from anger and embarrassment as i noticed a few drops of tears forming on corners of her eyes

"Your bullying me again bastard!"

"You two that's enough!"

Clara signaled to us to stop our spar as it was getting out of hand

Then she marked a minus 10 on our names, after that she send both of us to the infirmary,with giving a stern warning that if we fight there won't be a next time.

We both walked down the long corridor as some students and teachers passed by.

My nose had a small wound on it, and as for her she was holding her stomach with two hands struggling to walk properly

"A rough greeting for our first meeting after years,aren't you ashamed of your self Violet."

She turned her head towards me as her thin and beautiful eyebrows were drawn into a knot

"You selfish jerk!, stop talking to me I don't know you."

Well her response was anticipated

"I see you haven't changed your habits, with that foul mouth of yours still spouting disgusting words."

She had a mocking smile as she said

"That's Ironic coming from someone who punches a girl in the freaking stomach,just wait till I see uncle William."

I didn't want to bicker with her anymore so I said

"Sigh~I wish your fans could see thier cold goddess right now."

She had a surprised expression

"You Asshole."

Aamon responded as he raised his fist

"Little kitty looks like you want another round of beating."

Suddenly a vain got popped on Violet's forehead

"Im not your kitty!"

Then we reached the infirmary

After our treatment was over it was lunch time so we headed towards the cafeteria.

'she can be useful in the future.'

We were walking down the long corridor in silence

"You should stay away from Olivia."

She had a questioning look on her face

"Huh that shouldn't be coming out of your mouth,aren't you afraid what your Dear Olivia would do after she hears this?~"

She was smirking while saying this

"She's not my dear and I'm going to break off the engagement with her after I get the chance to see my father."

Violet responded

"Oh I see you haven't changed,still going around and breaking your engagements one after another,and stop telling me what to do,we have no relationship."

Aamon smiled and said

"Sigh~you're as naive as ever.

"Piss off! I'm not gonna fall for that."

'I wonder why when I'm with her I can talk this freely,Normally it would be impossible to do.'

"I said my part it's your choice whether you listen or not."

Violet was even more confused by Aamon's behavior

'Wasn't he always wanted to marry Olivia,what is wrong with him...its kinda like his changed.'

"Well his still a jerk though"
