Day One

There was a pause when he read that meassage, as he was stunned.

'What's with the night? Why should I survive the night' He wondered. 'Is something else hunting students?'

He look all around the room to see if there is something strange or unusual but found nothing.

'I guess I should just sleep since I know nothing about the night or I should just ask others if they know something about these nights.' He sigh and fall asleep.

He looks around and found his roommates ready to leave. And without bothered to greet them, he went on the floor and start perform push ups.

'Lets see how many exp do I gain after these 5 push ups' He thought.

'This whole sytem is now interesting.'

He went in the bathroom to take shower, and when he came back there were none in the room.

"It's good since they have left, I am not used to live with anyone else apart to Orson." He whispered to himself as he went to his cupboard. He found three pair of dark red outfit with strange black patterns run at the both sides of it. They were all hang in the cupboard.

'Where they here since yesterday? I didn't see them!' At the other side of the cupboard he saw two pair of black shoes, they were some types of sneakers. 'Does that mean the outfit with white pattens belongs to professors?'

He took the outfit and put them on. When he get out he found too many students more than he had imagine. They were all dressed in the same outfit as him, while hearding at one of the building, and so did he.

He found himself inside a huge room as it was written 'ASSEMBLY HALL'. It was designed just like a meeting room, whereas something like a stage was located at the front side of the room with some few chairs while at the very opposite side of the room was filled with multiple chairs, looks like designed for audience.

He can see different kinds of students, some staying in group chatting and laughing while others sat on their own.

'There might be some stronger students here, since I have not unlock my arcana I should stay low for my sake.' Xander sigh as he went to one of the empty seats.

It didn't take long, as a man wore a red outfit with white strands of lines enter the hall and the room suddenly got quite, while those who were stood searched for a place to seat.

A man had an horrifying aura, which is the reason behind the suddenly quitness of students.

'What is this man, why does he makes me feel this strange feeling?' Xander wondered.

A strange man went at the front stage looking area, he wore a serious expression as he observe students for a time before he spoke.

"I am professor Rayven." He announced, his voice was heavy, which carried the authority and when yhe students heard it, it send the chill down their spins. "I will give you a brief expression before you start your class."

"There are three different classes that are taken place at this academy. There is a Combat Class, Arcana Class and a Weapon Class. Everyone is allowed to take each class as they wish, but also not forced. You can choose a class which suits you perfectly with your arcana."

"In the end of the year there will be a tournament. It will be held here and the winner will be awarded by the Barons. The main target of this tournament is to see the talents of our students."

"Lastly, we need to form you a squad of five people in which you will help each other grow stronger and attend the mission together. At the end of every week, there will be a competition in which will help us on creating your squads."

"In the morning there will be Combat Class, in the afternoon is Weapon Class and evening there will be an Arcana Class. Your watch will guide you a direction to every class."

After that description everyone was left to heard in their classes.

Xander heard a beep sound, when h take a look at his watch and place a certain button, then it display a heading 'Combat Class' and a direction of a class. It was like a navigator with a pointed arrow and an AI woman voice which give out more details with a buildings.

'It is more details than I can imagine and the buildings are too many more than I can see outside the Academy.' He thought as he follow the navigator.

__ __ __

Xander reached the building and walked in, he found some students inside the building already. There were neither chairs nor tables as there is some students sat down the floor while others lean on the wall. Xander went straight at the back of the room and sat down while his back lean at the wall.

During his rest, he couldn't help but remember his life back then in the street, it was a tough one. He has been lonely his whole, nothing he know about his parents, either they are dead or still alive. From what he had learnt is that, he was picked in a Cursed forest by Orson's parents and raised in their family. While he was still young, Orson's parents died in one of the civil war and he was left with Orson as his brother to take care of him.

They have been through hardships since other children hated him because of his story. The cursed forest was a forest which was acting strange, it have been reported many death in that forest and found dead bodies without a clear evidence of their murder. Sometime the corpse have been found while their parts of bodies are missing either legs, head or the upper part and lower part of their bodies are separeted.

It was strange, that's why they believed Xander was a child of a ghost or demons. Still that hasn't been a big problem to Orson, since he had loved him and take responsibilities for him just like a real brother. Everything became worse when he fail to unlock his arcana, other said a demon has no arcana hence they believe he was a demon child or a monster.

When he was in a deep thought, he was suddenly grabbed by his wrist. Raising his head slowly as he open his eyes, what he found left him in shock as he know the man who had hold his wrist.

Just then, cold spread through his arm, It was then that he noticed an ice spread from the wrist toward the elbow.

"I guess you know me very well." The boy said with a smirk. "You will pay for what you done before...!"
