- Road To Academy -

---

One fine day in Teveria, a red-haired boy seemed to be prepared.

He was wearing a black suit with yellow embroidery on it, and many servants were packing their things all over the room.

That red-haired boy was, of course, Myles.

Now it was time to go to the academy, and today was the day of separation.

Myles took another look at himself in the mirror and smiled. He didn't want to look bad.

The Martial Academy and the Magic Academy were one big building under one roof.

The location of the Academy was a neutral zone between the three kingdoms.

The reason why the region was left neutral was that it had extremely deep waters.

However, the three kingdoms finally agreed and managed to create a large piece of land here.

Thus, Skolth Island, where the Academy is located, was born. The island was entirely private to the academy, and no one from the three kingdoms was likely to interfere with it.

Treating everyone normally has become the rule here.

So much so that even the children of important nobles or princes had to come to school by special trains like everyone else.

So Myles was excited.

Because the princess had to go by train, too, and Myles had a chance to befriend her. If he could, he would want to be more than a friend, but he knew he could do it with time. So it was best to start as friends.

While he was lost in thought, the door of his room opened and a small red-haired boy like himself entered.

Myles turned slowly and looked at the boy at the door.

"Big brother... are you going?" the little boy asked in a somewhat sad voice.

Myles smiled and walked over to the little boy and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, Charles. Your brother just goes to school. I promise to send you letters often, okay?" said Myles

"Hmph! A letter is not enough..."

"So what more do you want...?"

"I want a gift too!"

Myles could only smile at his younger brother's demeanor. Even when this family was about to lose their dukedom title, his brother was behaving quite amiably without getting demoralized.

"I'm going to protect him and my family and make sure they live well," Myles thought.

"Okay then your brother will send you the best presents," Myles said and patted Charles's head.

Just then, another person entered the room.

"Sir Myles. Your cart is ready, your things are loaded, sir. You won't be able to catch the train if you're a little late," the attendant said as he entered.

"Oh I'm coming!" said Myles, and hurried down to the front door.

An ostentatious cart had been prepared for him and was waiting to go.

Duke Roach and his wife walked slowly behind Myles.

"Father"

"Look, Myles, I can't thank you enough. If you hadn't received that medal of honor, I'm afraid we would have been demoted by now, and we would have frustrated my ancestors' efforts to get that position. So don't worry if you don't show up in the academy with your powers. Everything is difficult in this world. People decide," Duke Roach said calmly.

"I see, Dad. Rest assured, I'll do my best not to embarrass you."

Myles' mother ran to Myles and hugged him.

"My baby has grown so fast and now he's going to the Academy *Hifh* I'm so happy," my mom said as she softly cried

"Don't be late son, now it's time to go. You can come back if you want on Quarterly Vacation, but we're not forcing you. Skolth island is a beautiful place and I understand if you don't want to go back on vacation." said Duke Roach.

Myles chuckled lightly and hugged the crying Charles and got in the car.

"My Adventure Begins Here"

"It's Torture!" thought Vanessa as her two older brothers stood before her and counseled her.

"Also, remember to be respectful of teachers, V! Teachers don't like to be ignored," said Jean in a stern voice

"This is something you can do, V," Shawn added.

"You're exaggerating, I'm new to the academy and I already know the rules. Can't you stop torturing me? Also, Yawn Brother, won't you come with me to the academy, why are you trying to give me advice?!"

Shawn said, "Actually no, I'm not coming. For my third-year project, I got a quest from the Professors about the status of the Warriors in the Crown, so I'm around until I complete it," Shawn said.

"Well, I think it's time to go, my dear girl," said a thin and beautiful voice.

Just then, Queen Elise came out of some kind of dimension.

"Mom. Will you stop scaring us?" said Shawn with a sigh.

"I can't help it. It's fun"

"Not for us!" jeans added

"Anyway, Vanessa, it's time to go. We don't want you to miss the train, do we?" said Elise, turning to Vanessa.

"You're right, mom. What about dad? Isn't he coming?"

"Oh, you know, he has a few things to talk to those old cows so he couldn't come," she said with a chuckle.

Vanessa sighed and returned to her room to put on a comfortable black tracksuit.

When Shawn returns staring at her clothes.

"Where did you find them?"

"I asked a tailor to sew it for me."

"They look like they were made for training."

"Yeah, I guess you could use it that way too, but I like them because they're more comfortable."

"I'd better ask for something like that too." ' Shawn muttered quietly.

At that moment, Elise's gaze also fell on Vanessa.

She looked angry.

"What do you think you're wearing, ma'am?!"

"Something comfortable...?"

"You can't paint an image like that as a princess. Go and change!"

"But mom.."

"No Butt!"

"OK...."

Seeing Vanessa go to her room, Elise followed her after a few seconds.

Moments later, Vanessa reappeared in a Black long skirt, White shirt, and dragon print jacket.

"At least she allowed that..." she muttered.

"Vanessa, you're about to be late for the train," said Jean sarcastically.

"Tch! I know!" suddenly shouted

Immediately after, she went to the cart prepared for her and sat in it.

Outside, her mother and brothers were watching her go.

"Don't Forget to Send Letters!" ' Jean shouted after her.

"You dream you bastard!"

"Why so angry?" grunting jeans

The cart was clearly on the road, fast.

"The Academy... What a wonderful place, it can be the beginning and the end of everything. For me, it's a place of torture."

Meanwhile, a speech was being made in the meeting room of the Academy.

"Hmm, so these are the new students for this year... There are many distinguished names among them ... I feel like it will be a good year with a lot of people, especially the Black Witch's daughter," an old man said.

"Don't be so positive, sir! A few items we use to train students are starting to wear out, one of which is the scanner hat. Isn't it your job to infuse it with Magical power?" said a woman almost as old as the man

"You're right, Professor. Well, you can be sure I'll fill it out before the students arrive. Other than that, is there anything bad in the new year?"

"The Fourth Prince of the Herray Kingdom is also in the early years of this year and you know his personality. He is troublesome but other than that, the 2nd prince of the Yolsen Kingdom and the princess of the Jera Kingdom are here. Not to mention the daughter of the Black Witch and the Royal Fist. Like, these four are the ones that stood out the most this year."

"Hmm... it means the daughter of the Black Witch and the Royal Fist. Looks interesting. Maybe I'll take her as my student and hand over the academy to her. I'm getting old now."

"What the hell are you talking about, you're already over 300 years old and now you're talking about death?"

"Haha you're right, I still have years to live, but it would be nice if I had a student."

"What about Duke Roach's son? He's the one who created the sewers and is known as a genius," the old woman said, looking at the papers.

"Hmm...that means a genius...I wonder if he'll be able to stay among the monsters."

"Like every year, a gap will open up. The five big tower competition will be very exciting"

"You're right," the old man agreed.

The Five Great Towers Competition is an event where the students of the five main divisions of the school fight each other. The winning tower will have more resources for itself and a special prize will be awarded to the winning student.

"I wonder who will get the award this time..."

"Anyway, there's one more thing we need to talk about besides the students. What do you intend to do with the Chaos Creatures?"

"This army is not our problem"

"That's our job too. If we get an attack and the magic barrier can't handle it, it will probably be impossible for us to protect all the students. Other than the Third and Fourth graders, the others won't be able to defend themselves against them."

"You're talking about the Black Stone they stole, right? It's the only way they'll break the shield."

"That's right... the only people who can directly destroy that stone are the black witch, and the stone was plundered on its way to it."

"Those Stupid Dogs don't know how to sit still. But if they dare, I'll show them the name of the Great Fire Mage. I'll burn each one down with my own hands," the old man said in a black voice. On the one hand, flames rose.

"Okay calm down. Black flames aren't a game and we don't want the castle to be in ruins before the school year, do we?"

"You're right."

"Now we better check our budgets for this year..."
