Mysterious spirit

Kyle was right, and they needed to put their personal feelings aside if they wanted to succeed.

As they walked deeper into the forest they encountered more monsters. But most of them were dealt by Kyle and Nathan. While fighting against this monsters the frienship between Nathan and Kyle started to grow. While Kyle could also sense the attitude of other students towards him had improved very much.

The group finally able to get out of the forest. After seeing them the selectors were initially relieved. They were relieved to see nothing had happened to Nathan,Eira and Annora. As they belonged from the royal family they were very worried about their safefy. "Your highness , I am very relieved you come back safely." An old selector said to Nathan while sighing with relief.

"Through I had come back safely, I am sad to tell that I was not able to bring back all the members of group back safely with me." Nathan said sighing with regret.

"What" The selector said with shock. He wasn't able to believe that the strongest group in the competition didn't just failed to arrive first but also suffered casulties. He watched the group carefully and counted the number of students. He found that some students were infeed missing.

"Your highness but how can this happen the forest should have been cleared of any strong monsters before the test. The remaining monsters should be very weak ones and your should have been able to deal with them very easily. " The old selector asked hystericaly. Afterall almost all the people in this group belong to influential noble families. It would cause a big uproar even if one of them died. Not to mention the number of deaths here are more than three.

"Yes , it should have been like that but we encountered some monsters which I couldn't even deal with." "What!, how can this happen." The selector said in a shock. Nathan is said to ve a genius of this generation because of his fighting capabilities. The monsters he couldn't deal with were definitely not some normal monsters.

"I think we should talk about it somewhere else in personal. After all the people in my group ate extremely tired." Nathan said while pointing towards other students. Except Kyle which had a aloof expression all of them looked extremely exhaused. They looked like they can collapse at any moment.

After seeing it the selector got slightly embarrassed for not noticing it. "It's as you say your highness let's talk about it somewhere else. You all arrange the faclties for the students. Also call for doctors and healers." The selector first bowed to Nathan and then ordered his servants.

"Let's go into meeting room your highness " The selector bowed respectfully and asked Nathan to come in the mewting room. "You go first I will be coming in some time." "As you wish your highness." The selector bowed once again and went to the meeting room first.

"Ok guys you all of you should head to the restrooms first." "Sisters Annora,Eira if possible please head to the royal palace first." Nathan then went towards Kyle. "Kyle than you once again, you saved my and my sister's life. I will never forget this favour, if you have any requestcome to me. As long as I can fulfill it. I will try my best to complete it." Nathan said to Kyle his eyes filled with determination.

"I will your highness" Kyle said with a smile. The relationship between him and Nathan had became very good. Nathan smiled and then turned towards James and Steven. "James ,Steven you both also come with me to the meeting room." Nathan said in a serious tone."Yyss your highness" "Yss your highness" Both of them stammered and then agreed.

"I will see you again in Academy Kyle." Nathan said to Kyle and then went to the meeting room

James and Steven followed after him. "Finally it looks like it's over." Kyle sighed with relief. "Maybe I should also head to the restroom too." A servant then guided Kyle to the restroom. It was a very luxirious room to be just called a restroom. "Huuf , it sure was a tiring day." Kyle laid on the bed and thought to himself"During the battle today that mysterious power inside me had started to emerge on its own. It felt like it had its own consciousness and it had extreme hatred towards this monsters." "I had wanted to silently deal with the monsters as much as possible but it felt like this power pleaded me to kill those monsters as soon as possible. Just What is this."

"How about I tell you." Suddenly a voice sounded out of nowhere. "Who is it." Kyle was extremely shocked upon hearing the voice. He wasn't able to detect the source of the voice. He immediately picked up his sword and took the battle stance. "Hoo , did you forgot about me a Kyle." A ghost like figure of a man appeared in front of Kyle. In appearance he looked like a very handsome man. But he was floating in the air and his figure was a little blurry. "You , are you the one from seven years ago."

It was before Kyle had entered the royal. When he had to fight the assassin who kidnaped princees Eira. Two mysterious voices had guided him through the battle to defeat the assassin. One of those voices was that of this man.

"Hoo, so you do remeber me."

"Who are you" Kyle asked the man in a serious voice." "I am one of the spirits contracted to you Dragon Emperor" The spirit gave a answer which Kyle didn't understand. Not to mention he addressed him as the dragon emperor which made the Kyle all the more confused.
