chaos before the school trip

Two days have passed and Ivan woke up with mana fully restored. When he came to he saw maids in his room "I don't remember having maids... oh zenith must of sent them in" Ivan thought for a while laying in bed he sat up and leaned against the wall " thank you girls you can be dismissed" Ivan said grabbing a glass of water they put on his nightstand " but what-" the maids try to say before being interrupted by Ivan " Its fine just send it the captain when you leave" Ivan said exhaling heavily after chugging the glass of water "yes sir" the maids said bowing and left. The captain walked in " you know you should keep the maids" Zenith said waving in a person wheeling in an armor stand " I don't need maids" Ivan said getting up to inspect the armor "don't need it! Have you seen the condition your in" zenith yelled but caught himself calmed down "Then you don't remember what happened while I was I this condition" Ivan said tracing his hand on the Ebony armor with gold highlights the helmet had its left side flat and angled in and the right side had an eye hole and a horn. And the Chest plate had no left arm hole, and the armor glistened black in the light.

Ivan looked down at zenith and saw him shuddering and in cold sweat Ivan lightly hit him on the head with his hand "what's this" Ivan said pointing at the armor " yes, this is the armor I had made while you slept I had it customized to your style and current condition, it was made by the best blacksmith in the capital which I had a curse seal on it hopefully to contain that rage you have. Also the daughter of the blacksmith was the girl you saved at school" zenith explained " speaking of which what was her name" Ivan said taking the armor of the stand " lily asworth, we also investigated the girls that attacked you, they were hired by a company to get their sales to skyrocket at the death of the blacksmiths daughter" Zenith said while getting up off the floor "tsk what a petty thing to do" Ivan said trying to put on his armor " anyway you should go say hi sense you woke up, also this is why you need maids" zenith said helping Ivan put on his new armor.

Ivan didn't answer " I noticed there was no sword so where is the shop" Ivan said ignoring zenith first question and put a sack of gold on his waist " it's a block from the school" zenith yelled at Ivan. Ivan was walking out into the courtyard waving his hand saying bye. When he entered the courtyard he looked at the students training and saw a new mage training area "looks like women are getting to be realized for the skill" Ivan thought and continued walking. One of Ivan trainees snuck up behind him and swung his sword down, a dust cloud was around them both, when the dust cleared Ivan was holding the trainees sword above his right shoulder. "to slow Kenith I'll be out for a while so go train with the genaral" Ivan said walking toward the front gate flexing his fingers " yes sir" Kenith yelled and ran off "this armor is great not even a scratch on the armor" he thought walking in the street every ones eyes in the street was on the gilded knight .

Ivan stopped Infront of the shop " I thought it would be bigger" Ivan thought and walked in this was a little ding when opening the door he saw no one inside but heard rhythmic thumps of a hammer in the back he looked at the rows of weapons on the wall and in the display case he picked one up and felt the magic rush into him " ah the gilded knight shows himself" the blacksmith said walking into the shop " Gilded knight? so you knew I would show up" Ivan asked the keeper " of course I knew you can't have such a beautiful set of armor without a proper sword, I've also heard from the captain that you like to make deals so for saving my daughter I will make a weapon of your choice for free" the blacksmith said in various mood swings "well if that's the case then I would like a one handed sword that is light but durable and I can flow power into it" Ivan said drawing a rough shape on a piece of paper " alright I can do that and a added bonus I'll make it match your armor … it will take about one month" the smith calculated in his head " in the mean time take a substitute sword till I get yours made" the blacksmith offered Ivan picked a sword and left.

A month later full of school, training and experimenting with things that haven't been tried. "All right class we are having a joint exercise with the other class in a week, we will be going to the black magical forest to test your teamwork and healing skills against magical beasts you'll be in groups of three. Please get your group and items together before the end of the week class dismissed" the teacher yelled the class roared to get in a good group. After the whole I.M.B accident everyone warmed up to lily trying to get in the good graces of the best blacksmith in the capital. Everyone was basically climbing over the desk to get to her, she tried to calm them down but to no avail. No one tried to get ask Ivan "after all wants a wounded knight" "yeah not to mention a healer couldn't even save his arm or eye" the snobby nobles said loud enough for him to hear, the blood always drained from her face in fear he would go rageful again which he would have if the curse seal on his armor didn't work. She looked out of her right eye at Ivan he was rhythmically moving left to right, she stared at him for a minute and in a blink of and eye he vanished she could only think " what the hell just happened" she looked though the crowds of people and saw Ivan walk out the class.

" I need to get my swords and train before the trip begins" Ivan thought and that's what he did for a week.
