Encounter

His blade and Dominic's continued to point at each other while his fist and Magni's were also pointed at one another. A silent but serious deadlock! Both sides not saying a word and are ready to draw blood.

Samael's eyes glowed a gleaming red shine, this was probably the very first time that he got this serious since he got to this realm. Even without the Terminus Frozen Hell art his demeanor totally turned cold and sharp, like a sword that was primed to kill.

"You're fast but not enough..." With a seemingly calm yet cold tone, Samael said.

He then turned towards his right where Magni was. His right and Mogni's were still touching, though they moved at fast speeds he still saw Magni's actions.

This despicable bastard got his other fist near his stomach...he's good.

"...Your good." Samael sighed and relaxed, he lowered but his arms and stabbed the katana into the ground.

"Same to you," Magni replied with a taunting gesture with his hands.

With a deathly stare at Magni, he then began to move.

A light hop, followed by a sudden explosion of speed, Samael quickly closed the distance. A layer of Ice covered his knuckles and his hard fist made its way toward's Magni's face. This was a powerful punch, even by Samael's standards, if his Ice-covered fist found its way to his face, Mogni wouldn't just worry about a broken nose but a disfigured face.

"Stop right there!"

Woosh!

Samael's fist stopped only a few centimeters from Magni's face when an unknown guy suddenly shouted. His voiced carried Energy essence which only those who have mastered infusing essence to their spiritual roots can do! This guy's an expert...

The crowd surrounding them opened two men wearing a teacher's uniform walked toward them.

"What do you think you're doing? Fighting, first thing in the morning?! Tell me your names." The leading teacher angrily shouted.

The Leading teacher was rather young but from his eyes, you could see that he was an extremely experienced fighter. His body was a bit bulky, add that with his explosive hair and you can tell that he had the character of a brawler.

The one behind him was a young woman who seemed timid but Samael could feel something dangerous from her. She was a bit small and had a short hairstyle, she also wore glasses. This female teacher seemed to be one of those clumsy teacher types.

Hearing the Leading teacher's question, both Dominic and Magni gave their names.

"Dominic Pierce"

"Magni Saluk"

The teacher nodded to them before turning to Samael. Who was still in the fighting mood so his cold aura hasn't subsided yet? But still...he did manage to squeeze out his name after taking a deep breath.

"Samael..."

Displeased with his attitude, the teacher harrumphed "Humph, I don't care which family you belong to. In this academy, only strength matters but violence is strictly unadvised so if you three have some sort of grudge take them to the Dueling Grounds."

All three of them, Samael, Dominic and Magni quickly made eye contact with the teacher after hearing what he said. Indeed, things couldn't just end this way so a fight at the dueling ground should fix that.

"...That said, usage of any academic facilities aside from the dorm, classroom, and stores require Academic points."

"Academic points?" From the crowds, the newcomers started bustling and asking those beside them what that meant.

"U-Uhm, Academic Points are g-given as rewards from completing missions undertaken by the student. I-it can be used to exchange valuable materials such as herbs and other natural oddities."

Hearing this, the students started clamoring. The leading teacher started to get annoyed and then turned to the three causes of this chaos.

"You three better stop causing trouble, if I see you three again I will make you regret entering this academy."

With that, he took off along with the female teacher. Left with an expecting crowd, all three of them were still kinda itching for a fight but with the rules of the academy, they had to back off for now.

"Humph, I'll let you off, for now, commoner but when we meet in the tournament I will put you down. Come!" Dominic sneered, ordering the men who were beaten by Samael earlier, looks like they were his acquaintances.

These men slowly stood up, wearing sneering smiles on their faces as they looked at Samael.

Swoosh!

He was about to turn when a silvery glint passed by from behind him and stabbed to the ground just before him. It was the knife that one of his friends used.

"You can take this trash as well. I will warn you though, strut around me again and I will kill you."

Shivers ran wild across his body before he recalled something and he said "As if you have the guts to kill a noble like me, inside the academy no less. You will be hunted down by my family and the academy's disciplinary department if do so."

To this Samael coldly said "Like I give a damn..." then he turned around and picked up the long box that was originally meant for him, placed the Katana inside, and went back to the dorm.

Along the way he saw some familiar faces rushing towards him, three beautiful ladies to be exact.

"You little rascal, first day here and you're already causing trouble!" The fastest to reach him was Princess Lina who immediately knocked him on his head.

"How was it?" An unusual question entered Samael's ears when Silvia spoke.

Smiling Samael answered, " We were still holding back so I don't know their full capabilities but I am confident of beating them."

But to his answer, all he got was a simple nod before Silvia turned around. Seeing this, Samael warily smiled, he had the impression that Silvia seems to be angry.

"I've sent word to the castle just like you ask and indeed there were two weapons sent there and they were already sent here," Lina said after calming down but she couldn't hide that interesting smile on her face as if she just found her next toy when she saw how these two acted.

"So these really were yours?" Stella asked.

Samael nodded and continued chatting with the girls until they reached the dorms. When Samael returned to his room, Julius was surprised.

"What's in the box?"

Samael snickered and placed the box on the floor before opening it. The two saw a beautifully curved blade and a dark spear.

"Woah, what a beautiful blade..." To his side, Julius was entranced by the blade. As a knight, he grew up seeing different edged weapons and he is extremely interested in them.

"Hold it then." Samael smiled seeing this guy next to him who was itching to hold it.

Julius had his eyes glued to the blade since he saw it, now that he was holding it in his hands he started to play with it behind Samael. Slowly moving the blade, understanding and figuring out what movements suited such a weapon.

What interested Samael the most was the other weapon inside the box. It had a length of almost two meters, the shaft was made from Deep Sea Titanium which gave it a bluish hue, it also had a simple wavy design along the shaft. The spearhead was only a bit over 30 centimeters, it had a double groove along the blade and you can see how sharp the blade is from its shine of it.

Samael took hold of the shaft and lifted the spear, the light bounced off of the blade as it was lifted.

"Damn..." Seeing this beautiful spear, even Julius who was glued to the Katana was unable to ignore the charm of this weapon.

Samael gave it a twirl and a light trust, wind ran across their room and thankfully nothing broke. Satisfied, he gave traced the edge of the blade before keeping it inside his storage ring. He also stretched his hand out to Julius and asked him to give back the Katana.

Albeit slightly unwilling, Julius still gave him the blade. After keeping the blade, the two of them went to their respective place in their room to begin their nightly cultivation. Julius cultivated while Samael practiced some movement sets from the Heaven Breaking Fist.

When morning came, an announcement rung out, it looked like all newcomers were being gathered.

"You two are late." It didn't take them long to find Lina and the others.

"Sorry about that, so what's this about?" Samael scratched his head and asked.

To this Lina only smiled at him and said "You'll soon find out."
