A New Life

Darkness surrounded the arena, he could see nothing but himself, it was like he was in a reflective arena, after some while he heard a voice "Dexter, Dexter, wake up, it's time for school" 

He opened his eyes respectfully, he saw himself still alive, at first he wondered "is this hell?" Then his mother came and said, "aren't you going to school today?" Now he was sure, that wasn't hell, but if it wasn't hell, then where was that, the house looked new, dust surrounded the tiny room, the only thing noticeable was the Mirror and the little table which was at the side of the room, that's strange, because his room was neatly arranged, he still did not know that he was in somewhere else, or someplace else. 

After a short while, he gave his mother a reply, making her to leave him quietly, in a few minutes, she returned with a stick in her hands. "Before I raise my hands on you, I'll advise you to get dress and start going to the academy, cause no matter what, you must pass the exam and become Mr. Thirteen of the academy" 

Academy? he thought, where the hell is that, and what exam am I going to write? Why is she talking about a thirteen human, or perhaps is that my name? 

A lot of thoughts randomly entered his mind, he could not understand a word that his mother was saying, he didn't even know if she was really his mother. 

He just decided to go to this so called Academy, if he can find out something there. He went towards the bathroom aft agreeing to go to the academy, which made his mother feel at ease and left him. 

The bathroom was a square size one, it was located at the right side of the room, close to window, the bathroom could hardly contain him, cause he could see how little it was, other than that, buckets and large bowls that were filled with water also covered most of the bathroom.

He hurriedly took his bath and rushed out of the bathroom, soon he heard a shout from his mother "Hurry up, you'll be late" He looked at the sky through the window and could see that the time was at the 8th hour in the morning. "shit, how did I do that?" in his past life, they read time through some little devices called clock. 

The clock was designed to tell them the time based on the two sticks which was on the device. He went towards the the wardrobe which was at the left side of the room and opened it. "Ah, why all this dust?" The dust that came out of the wardrobe was enough to cover the whole house, to show how much it was. He picked the shirt which was at the middle side of the wardrobe, it was the first thing he saw after opening the wardrobe which made him to wear it. After he was done, his eyes caught the sight of a black sword, which was at the side of his bed, he went towards it and wield it, the sword was light, but it seemed strong. 

Swords were most held or tied on the side of the waist, but he buckled his sword ok his back, which made it to seem more stylish, he was about to go out then he saw a black boot on the left side of the wardrobe, he sat down and wiped off the dust off the shoes, then he put it on and went down, after a short while he appeared outside the house and headed towards the academy. 

For some strange reason, he knew where the academy was. On getting there, all the students who came to take the exam were dressed in white, he was the only one who was dressed in black. He saw a table, the table seemed like where you'll take your number for your chair. He went towards the table and registered his name, then he was given a number. He looked at the number and he saw number 66,he went towards the sixty six chair and sat down, waiting for others to arrive. 

Soon enough, the hall was filled up, and all the students were all sitting on their respective positions. "All rise, for Master Francis" The assistant said. 

"Master Francis? Who the hell is that?" He thought as he waited eagerly to see who it was. The man walked in, he was wearing a black robe, with a hood made of silk and leather, his face could not been seen, only his voice could be heard. He walked through and sat down, after which he gave his assistant a signal to begin the exam. 

"All sit, No1 and two, come out" they both came out and stepped into the stage, at first he could not understand what was going on, a man came in between them and asked them both if they were ready. 

"Ready for what?" he thought. They both nodded their head as a sign of reply, to show they were ready. 

They both brought out their weapons, and had their Zephyxr magic tested, it was okay, and there was no sight of dark magic. In a second, the man said 

"Let the fight begin" 

"So this exam is nothing but a fight? What the f*ck is this?"
