Arthur gets up around 06:00, and goes out for a run before breakfast, theoretical classes start at 08:00 and go until 12:00, students have 2 hours of rest and then at 14:00 physical training begins until 18:00, then the student is free to do whatever he wants until 00:00, when the academy gate is closed.

The students received the mana circulation technique and were waiting for the afternoon class to choose combat techniques.

'I need to choose a sword technique and a movement technique, the image of that wolf devouring my leg still terrifies me.'

Arthur was on his way back from his morning run playing with his silver wolf when he noticed someone else who was also running.

'How can a girl be so beautiful, will it be the dragon's blood?' Arthur nodded to Alice, she responded with a simple bow and continued her run.

'It seems that not all nobles of this kingdom are spoiled weaklings by their families.' Alice made a mental note about the cute boy with the green eyes and gray hair as she continued her run.

The morning class passed quickly, the first class was about neighboring empires.

— The kingdom of Sunnydale was the kingdom with a human majority, Kevin Arkalis and Ophelia Stormwind ruled the kingdom, the main source of income in the kingdom was the mines of mana crystals.

— The kingdom of Bedrock was the Dragonian kingdom, their dragon lineage made their bodies almost perfect, Arbarum Dragonsbane and Nakira Drelmuur ruled the kingdom, the biggest source of income was the mines of precious metals.

— The kingdom of Greenbow was the kingdom of the Elves, Elhiar Elven and Benedith Owen ruled the kingdom, the biggest source of income was alchemy.

— The Rising realm was the realm of the Lycans, Darius Wolfswift and Ahri Ninetails ruled the realm, the bloodline of the Wolf God made them wild and fast, they were great tamers of mana beasts, the biggest source of income was hunting and selling beasts of mana.

Arthur was eating with Guth and Kariel when Lucian sat down next to him.

"What's your beast's name?" Arthur was taken aback since the contract with the wolf cub, it all happened so fast he hadn't even thought about it.

"Fenrir the god-killing wolf! Harbinger of Ragnarok!" Arthur liked an Earth movie about Norse Gods so much that he asked his father to tell him stories, and the one he liked the most was Fenrir.

All the students who were having lunch were momentarily shocked, they had never heard a story about a wolf killing gods.

"Good worthy a worthy name for a wolf. I'll give you 10 gold coins for it!"

"It is not for sale!" Arthur didn't even look at Lucian to answer, even though I wasn't sure of Fenrir's race, a beast that was basically born with a Green Mandate Core was very rare.

"Good, very good, you are the first one who said no to this prince, see you!"

"Tch!!! Displayed."

"Are you okay bro?"

"Yea!" Arthur looked at Guth to answer, and a tear trickled down his face.

"Why are you crying?"

"Anything!"

"You wanted the 10 gold coin right?"

"Shut up!" Arthur was upset, ever since he arrived at this academy, these spoiled princes and nobles were lavishing money like it was nothing.

Arthur teased Fenrir as he left the mess hall.

'Arthur White Core, 32 channels of mana, one of the humans who came from Earth, what an interesting boy.'

Alice and Beatrice, who were eating together, had similar thoughts about Arthur, their parents were friends and they had known each other since birth.

'Rednecks treating mana beasts as objects.' Elric was sitting with some elves, they all nodded together, it was as if they were thinking the same thing.

"You chose 2 techniques, choose wisely, only after 1 year will you be able to choose others and of course if you continued in Class A!"

Arthur chose the lightning slash technique, this technique concentrated mana from the electrical element into the sword increasing the weapon's destructive and piercing power.

For the second technique he chose agile steps, this technique used electrical mana in the body's muscle endings to increase reflex and speed.

Arthur chose the two electrical techniques, so he would be able to increase his proficiency in both techniques, he would have a lot of time in the gym, so he chose each year to focus on one element.

Arthur chose a metal bow curved at the ends, connected by a piece of wood, the string made from the sinew of some magical beast.

'A good bow totally free, I'm really going to get spoiled!' Arthur was lost in thought, he had a serious money problem.

"Boy, are you sure you're going to choose a bow? I don't think it will be the best match for your techniques!"

Everyone looked at Arthur, some laughed, others pitied him, thinking he was just a country boy!

"I appreciate the concern, but a pretty bow like that on a shelf is an affront to me as a hunter!"

Pufff.....everyone who was looking on curiously started laughing. 'Really a country boy who chose the most beautiful weapon he saw!' That was everyone's thought.

"And I also have this sword that was a gift from my master, it may not be the best there is, but it will be the only weapon I will use!" As Arthur spoke, he withdrew a mithril katana crafted with black and silver runes.

Arthur withdrew the sword to see everyone's reaction, he had the feeling that this Katana was very powerful whenever he held it, it didn't seem as simple as his master made it seem.

"Mithril!"

The professor and Guth spoke simultaneously.

"Mithril?" Arthur asked when he noticed that the two weren't explaining, about the name of the sword.

"Mithil is a very expensive mineral with, due to its ability to store mana, and it's absurd hardness."

Guth was a magical swordsman, he started studying swords as soon as he could walk.

"I understand, thank you!" Arthur tucked his sword and bow into the ring and walked to the training ground.

"Wait!" Guth ran after him.

"Arthur, do you have a soul contract with the sword?"

"Soul possession?"

"I knew, when someone gets a special treasure like your sword, to avoid being hunted and killed, they make a soul contract, so if you get killed without passing the sword to someone else, it will disappear."

"Got it! Thanks friend, you are a friend!" Arthur started shaking Guth's hand, this woodpecker episode had become a meme on Earth.

"What was this?" Guth was stunned by Arthur's attitude.

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand . . ."
