Journey to the capital

Right now we were on the road. The five of us were sitting inside a carriage while a rented driver was steering it.

There was another carriage with driver behind us. The contents of this carriage are the stuff we decided to take with us. Mostly some valuable stuff and clothes.

The ride from our old house to the capital would take us about 5 days, so we had to sit in this carriage for five whole days.

Luckily we could sleep in a bed every night as we always slept in an inn on the roadside. We only needed one room, so the costs weren't that heavy.

We still had some money to start a life in the capital, but even then I needed to find a way to start making money or we would be out in no time.

Our journey was really uneventful. We would sit with the five of us in a carriage talking or playing some word games. There wasn't really much more to do.

Because we always slept in an inn our nighttime activities weren't compromised. Well I still had my women be as quiet as possible as I didn't want to have the whole inn hear us.

Right now on our last day of traveling just a few kilometers outside the capital something happened.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH, HHEEEELLLPPPP MMMEEEE."

I could hear a woman's voice screaming out really loud, so I immediately stopped the carriage.

"All of you wait here, I'll go check what is happening over there."

So I moved in the direction of the scream.

When I arrived I saw a woman sitting with her back against a tree. Three wolves were surrounding her. These wolves weren't entirely normal. All of them had a horn on top of their heads.

Wolves like these weren't particularly powerful alone, but they usually moved in packs. Right now there were only three, but there definitely would be more around.

The woman in question was quite pretty. She looked about 20 years old. She had long white hair and wore something that looks like a priestesses gown. Her curves were also nice and big where they needed to be and small where not.

I decided not to dilly dally any longer and save her. I quickly fired a fireball at one horned wolf while moving towards them. Immediately after I fired the fireball I used my wind magic to make a wind cutter and fired it another horned wolf.

My magic attacks weren't weak at all as my fireball heavily injured one wolf and the wind cutter even sliced through a horned wolf, killing it.

The last horned wolf quickly became aware of me and charged at me. It jumped at me trying to pierce me with it's horn.

But the horned wolf was a bit slower than me as I easily evaded the attack with a sidestep.

When the horned wolf landed on it's feet again it wanted to immediately rush at me again, but before it could even turn it took my punch to the head.

My punch was quite heavy as the wolf dropped down dead immediately. All three wolves were now dead as the one struck with the fireball also died from its injuries.

The girl was looking flabbergasted. A kid of about 12 years old easily killed three horned wolves. And his magic abilities were really strong.

"We have to go, there might be more wolves around." As I said this I took her hand and pulled her up. Luckily she didn't sustain any injuries.

Still holding her hand we ran back to the carriage. I didn't realize the girl was getting a red flush on her face. She had never held hands with a man before, so she was a bit embarrassed.

We soon arrived at the carriages. "We should be save here, they won't chase us hopefully."

But I didn't know this for sure, so I immediately had everyone including the new girl get on the carriages and leave.

Once inside I thought we were save and decided to ask the girl some things. But even before I could that the girl started talking.

" Thank you very much for saving me. Without you I would probably be dead right now. Let me introduce me I'm Claire a priestess of the Light church."

"Hi, no problem, saving a maiden in danger is a man's duty. I'm Drake and right now the five of us are in the middle of moving to the capital. If you want you can travel with us."

"Yes that would be very nice. I was out to collect some medicinal plants when I got ambushed by those horned wolves."

"Were you all alone in the woods?"

"Yes, I like the quiet and it's normally quite safe in this region."

After that we chatted a while with Claire and the women immediately became friends with her. She was a really nice and honest women. As expected of a priestess lf the Light church.

Then suddenly she asked me a question " by the way Drake are you going to the tryouts of the magic academy in Metheria? Your magic is so strong I have no doubt you'll get in."

(Metheria is the capital)

"Magic academy what is that?"

"You don't now? I'll explain then. The magic academy is like the name a school for children who can use magic. In the school you can train your magic and learn new one. It's like a normal school, but with magic."

I have to say it would be really fun to go to the school. I always dreamed of the forbidden relationship of student and teacher. And there would perhaps even be a few hot upperclassmen. Bit right now we don't really have the money for it.

" It sounds really good, but unfortunately right now we don't have the money for me to go there as I expect the tuition is really expensive for this kind of school."

"Well you're right it's quite expensive, but I think there is a way for you to get in."

"How?"

"Well, it's really simple actually if the higher-ups think you have a lot of talent you'll get a scholarship ans won't have to pay a single coin. With what I've seen your magic is really strong so I don't doubt you'll get the scholarship."

This got my hopes up. And if I could really go to the magic school for free that would be awesome. So I decided to go to the tryouts that would happen in a week.

"Alright if you think I can get in I'll definitely try."

I could already picture it. Me and my teacher staying behind in the classroom to do some spicy stuff. A small grin appeared on my face which Marie noticed.

"It seems Drake is already getting some bad thoughts."

After which Claire didn't understand "bad thoughts?"

"Hihi it's nothing."

Well all my women knew me and thought I would definitely chase some women at school.

We continued our journey to Metheria and in no time the huge outer city walls came into view.

Metheria had an inner and outer wall. Between the inner and outer wall lived all commoners and low class nobles.

In the inner wals lived all higher classed nobles. The palace was also located here. It was hard for a normal guy to enter the inner city, so most people spend their lives living in the outer city.

Right it would be impossible for me to go to the inner city. But I would slowly move up in ranks and get there. After all I needed to see how beautiful the queen and princess were.

With thoughts about taking the Kings loved ones for myself we passed through the city gates.
