First Day [1]

It's already been a few months now after my return and tomorrow was a very huge day.

It was currently night within the duchy, and the shades of night has been covering the sky.

"The plot was finally gonna start."

Ohh I also forgot to remember that Franklin was already a second year, and he was within the top 50 of his year.

"Considering that he was a blacksmith....he must've been training too hard."

In the past months nothing really changed apart from having 2 fiancees and taking into the account that I have gained another year in my age.

And also the entrance test for the academy in which one will only have a written test and showing of current rank.

Luckily or unluckily, I am part of the class where the main characters are.

The class selection was random, except for the top 10, which was default in A class.

"Well I am the youngest on my batch though."

I've also come to know that Winter was a [Shaman], a rare class that has a huge relation with totems and nature spirits.

"She was also gonna be my senior huh."

Winter was already at the age of 17 yet she was only taking a second year curriculum. She was in the class of [2-B].

"Well I'm kinda surprise to here that she was already at [C-]."

Rebecca has already graduated in the academy and within the top 5, and she was already at breaking through [S-].

The Wylcon Academy let's you study and hone your skills for at least 5 years.

I would also recruit someone there, a future villain that has a reason to be one.

He was currently the same age as Franklin, and his class was a [Tank], but he was only a commoner though, He also has 2 younger sisters both of whom was in their first years respectively.

He was already an orphan alongside his blood-related sisters, their parents has already died and they have been always alone, it was all thanks to the academy that was not basing on someone's background and gives everyone a chance.

Despite being poor and having a hard life, he didn't care about that all his only dream was to be a fine knight or at least a known mercenary to help his sisters, yet....

Shit happens...

'Both his younger sisters will be raped in the academy by those nobles...."

Having no knowledge of it he tried to find them only to see their naked corpse in an abandoned building, he tried to get formal justice yet nobody listened to him because he was a commoner.

"I guess power really matters in this world."

After that he dropped in the academy and few years later, he had a something called an 'Enlightment'.

Enlightenment are the state where one surpasses their strength and with the use of endless amount of strong emotions or miracle. One can use it to awaken one's potential and increased strength.

'Yet his enlightenment wasn't anything good, he became depraved, mad, and insane, thus making him awaken his true class, rare class [Berserker].'

He became partial awakened due to the orb that was used on him was a broken one, thus it avoided him to make a proper awakening of potential and class.

Partial awakening was common in this world most especially if you have no power or status.

By using a broken awakening orb, one can partial awaken. Though it was obvious that one's potential will be affected and the destined class they should have.

His name was Adam Rockwell, the berserker and one of the villains of the game where it took both Alex and his rival's power to defeat him.

"I just hope that my days will be peaceful."

Or not.

***

Within the Annora duchy

A girl with green eyes and black hair with green highlights within it was holding her bow.

"Looks like were gonna meet after all these years once again, huh.....My fiancee."

***

Within a Count's house, a woman with red hair and flaming red eyes was reading some documents.

And within those documents, multiple names was can be seen, yet she was only examining 2 documents.

One has the name [Alex Damon Braveheart],

"Hmmm, to think that he will have a, a huge boosts, in these last years huh."

"..."

"Well whatever, he was already deemed as the hero of mankind, so it was only natural."

The woman handed down the document started to rummage throughout the next document.

"Well would you look at this."

The document was empty, except for the name within it.

"He disappeared for at least 4 years, and only came back 6 months before the academy."

"It was said that he was sighted from various places, like the Mediyan Mountain and the Tribulation Canyon."

'Just who in there right mind would go in those places'

The woman handed down the document once again and looked at the name within it.

[Edward Siegren Valentine]

***

Within a certain duchy

A boy with spear was training.

He has blonde hair and green eyes but his arrogance and innate pride won't quiver.

Swoosh-!

Multiple swings of spears was can be heard within the area.

After a few more swings the boy has alrwady stopped his swing and immediately took a seat.

"Looks like the academy will start tomorrow huh."

He said with a smile within his face.

"Though I'm only second right now, but who knows what can that commoner do to maintain that position."

The boy said with a smirk on his handsome face.

***

Within a certain castle, a very beautiful woman was holding her rapier swinging it, and slashing whatever things in there.

Swoosh! Bam!

'I need to get stronger to escape my faith and my imperial siblings' schemes.

It continues for a very long time.

She has a very golden hair and blue eyes.

"Mistress~"

A little voice suddenly resounded on her ears.

"What was it Mint."

"You should not always push yourself."

"I-I can't just stay idle."

"I know but...."

"Fine I will listen to you."

The woman said while lowering her rapier once again and seeing a little being that has fairy wings on her back.

"Look likes the academy will finally start, Mint"

"Yes, are you excited??"

The woman smiled a little but she quickly changed her expression into a melancholic one.

"Well it will only be my escape....."

"...."

***

Within a forest a boy was holding his sword and has a smile on his face.

"Looks like my path was only starting."

The boy smiled alongside it was his red eyes shining with excitement and anticipation.

***

It was already the start of the academy and of course, I am not excited, if only I can just lay in the house while waiting for the right age to marry both of my fiancees then everything will be easier.

'If not for those bastards that I needed to kill, I wouldn't have needed to be wary once again.'

Currently I am in the carriage with Winter, Franklin has already left for the academy.

'Speaking of Franklin...was his grandfather a tsundere?'

I just noticed it that his grandfather was kind of a tsundere, luckily enough his grandfather has already healed and well.

My father even hired him to be his personal blacksmith due to him showing off his works.

But he was kind of a tsundere at first, he denied it only to accept it later on.

'I can still remember their conversation.'

***

Within the room there are 2 grown up men talking or negotiating.

One was an old man with tanned skin and below average height with already white hair and white beard.

While the other was a good looking man with grey eyes and black hair.

"Hmp! Do you think I will accept it easily?"

"Well if it comes to this then I won't force you."

"What!? I will accept it, Hmp!"

The old man said while looking away with a harrumph

***

Sigh~

'In the end he even accepted the offer.'

Ferdinand Yiggs was now part of the Valentines and was my father's blacksmith and the Valentines as well, with the endless wealth of the Valentines, my father can surely bought everything he needs.

Ferdinand also finished [Grass Cutter] and the firearm that I tried to make Franklin do.

'Well with that, my early preparation for the academy was finished though it was still a lity I didn't get to have time to get the mugong.'

"Hmm? What are you thinking~?"

"Arf Arf!"

"Kyuu."

'Ohh I almost forgot her.'

Currently in the carriage as you can see I am not alone, both Finch and Risa was with me, alongside it was Winter.

"Ohh, it's nothing much."

"Really?"

"Yes really."

I answered while looking at her silver eyes.

'I really can't get enough of her.'

I said while being mesmerized by her beauty.

[You being a simp!?]

[Looks like the cold faced ruler has this side within him.]

'Says the one who was weak to cute things.'

[Ehem-Ehem, by the way why did you only bring 20 within your army excluding us, your knights.]

'Well your all too enough, considering that you 3 have reached [Elite Death Knight] that has the strength of at least [B+]'

I decided to bring only 20 within the academy and leave some within the duchy, for extra protection.

[Well I can't deny that.]

'...'

***

"Hey Edward."

"Yes?"

"I have heard that you've given every maid a necklace right?"

"!?"

Well I can't deny that, I really gave the maids, a defense item for them in a form of necklace.

Not just the maids but the guards as well, chefs and even my father.

"W-Where did you find it out?"

"I talked with the spirits."

'I forgot she can talk with them.'

I honestly have something for her though, it's just that it was different from Becca.

"Well, looks like I can't give you nothing huh."

"Well do you have something for me?"

"Yes."

After answering her I took out a white necklace from my space ring.

It got a pearl pendant within it while the lace was transparent white.

***

[Pearl Hymm]

Type: Item

Rarity: Rare

- Can automatically conjure a shield if the wearer was is in danger.

- 3 times use

***

Despite having a different name with the [Scarlet Heart] but it's effect was the same.

"Wow~"

She was bewildered by its looks while forgetting the effects it has.

'She really was just like a kid.'

"Do you like it?"

"Yes~!"

"Well that's good."

I said while handjng over the necklace to her.

She immediately handed it over to her in which she looks at with a smile on her face.

She bring it on her abundant chest as if not wanting to part with it.

"Edward."

"Hmm?"

"Can you put this on me."

"Well....I can."

I said while she raised her silver hair and lifted up her hair, because pf her action I've seen her fair white nape.

'Damn she's really beautiful alongside Rebecca'

Well you can't blame me, I got preference for older women, most especially that if they have a body like Rebecca and Winter.

Ehem Ehem, let's not be a saint in here let's be real for once.

Click!

"Well already done."

I said after putting the necklace on her neck, she quickly face me to showoff it's beauty.

"How was it?"

"Your beautiful."

I said with a smile on my face.

"Geez, I'm not asking about myself, I'm asking about the necklace."

She replied with a small blush on her face.

"Well my apologies I guess?"

"Forgiven"

"..."

I almost forgot that Rebecca will also follow in the academy as my personal attendant.

'Perks of being a noble I guess.'

Though she will use a separate room from me.

***

"Edward Look!"

"Hmm?"

A few moments has passed and the carriage has already arrived in a very large place.

It was a place that looks like a mini city honestly.

"It's beautiful, in my hometown, theres nothing like this big!"

Winter said while being mesmerized, alongside her was the 2 little beasts that was also mesmerized.

I just smiled at them and looked further within the city.

The city of [Gailstrom], a mini city where the students of the academy will live.

'Well I guess this is the start.'
