Announcement

"I asked a question and yet i cannot receive an answer" he said and she looked at him.

'I wanted to skip your highness" she replied and he looked at her sternly then smiled wickedly.

'Why?" he asked.

'Because I am not as talented, elements are not my thing" she responded then he sighed.

'Well you should get used to these sorts of things because soon enough you will have to go on missions with me" he said and her eyes widened then she downed her head.

'Why do you always down your head when I am speaking to you?" he asked and she folded her cuffs.

'No reason, bye your highness" she responded then walked away.

'Tsk... she is starting to piss me off, she needs to loosen up a bit, no better way than messing with her a little, this is going to be very fun," he thought as she walked up the stair with the others.

"Damn I need to get my act together and stop being afraid of blending in," she said to herself as the others went to their classes and she went into the art room in which she opened the windows, grabbed a canvas, sat down on a stool and picked up a brush.

'What exactly should I paint now?" she asked herself as she closed her eyes and began drawing the lake at the mansion under the bright moonlight with it shining on the water.

While she was drawing her hair blew up due to the wind and got onto the pain and her eyes widened when the prince came into the art room and she sighed as she looked at her hair in the paint.

"You got paint in your hair," he said and she looked at her hair then sighed.

'I know, I will go clean it, excuse me, your highness," she replied then he sighed as she left and went to the washroom to clean her hair while he walked to her canvas and looked at her painting then smiled.

"You have talent, though I don't know why I chose you as my student, I don't like girls like you one bit," he said to himself then left.

"Mom I am sorry I left without your permission from home, but you were not doing anything, this is my only chance to stop this war before we all regret it and everyone dies," she thought as she finished cleaning out her hair then went back to the art room where she saw the prince was already gone.

"He is a brat" she mumbled as she sat down and finished off her painting.

After the girl finished the academy bell rang and she got up as Jack rushed into the art room.

'They are going to make a tournament announcement, come on" he said as he grabbed her by the arm pulling her out of the art room and onto the corridor.

'What tournament?" she asked.

"It lasts for a few months in which you have to travel to different kingdoms for it" he responded and she sighed.

"Oh that tournament, I heard people die in it too," she said and he patted her on the shoulder.

'Relax" he replied.

"The first couple of matches of the tournament will be here and the other rounds will spread out into the other kingdoms, each round you advance to you will get a special weapon, modern and of your liking that helps you to direct your powers and also a huge sum of cash at the end, the final, you will have to pass each phase in order to qualify for the next round meaning you have to win, the matches will be lethal but this time the rules have changed".

"No deadly force is to be used in the matches, if you do so and your opponent is harmed, you will be expelled and if the opponent died, so will you, don't say you were not warned, they are your classmates, your friends and even those who you don't get along with, doesn't mean you have the right to kill them to win and if one uses deadly force to attack the other has every right to defend themselves, the form will be sent to your respective classrooms fill them out if you want to, the main prize for the winner in the final round will be grand but we cannot say what it is, good luck," the announcer said.

'This tournament is crap" she replied and Jack laughed.

'I am participating, you should too if you want to get along with people here and make an even better impression, though you might need power" he said and she folded her cuffs.

"Here," the prince said as he came to her and she sighed then looked at the form in his hand while all of the girls stared at him.

'I don't want it but thanks" she said in a soft tone and he smiled wickedly.

'You are a weakling aren't you?" he asked and Jack raised his brows then looked at Seraphina.

'Your highness, sorry about this but not because she doesn't want to participate makes her weak" he responded.

"I know that very well Jack, but for some reason she seems so, if not collect the form and fill it out" he said.

'Tsk… he pisses me off, how am I supposed to be friends with him? I need to fulfill my duty as a princess and I owe it to my people to end this war, trust me we are not as monstrous as humans, they killed some of us that were innocent, kill on sigh using their pathetic magical weapons," she said to herself.

"Fine, I will participate" she said and Jack's eyes widened as he looked at her.

"Are you sure? If you don't have a single tad bit of power, you are done for in this tournament which starts in about a week or so" Jack said.

"Don't worry about me I will take it" she replied then grabbed the form out of the prince's hand and walked away.
