A new beginning

EPISODE 9

A new start to this fantasy life is something I never expected. I have been enrolled in the best University in the continent which produced the greatest beings closest to gods. Their power topples mountains and clears the skies. Even their breath is as strong as the southern winds, nevertheless their calm demeaner depicts that of upmost royalty. Never have I felt such peace in a life that seems less real than the original. Well, after the torture and my sudden resurrection from death, I find myself clustered within the depths of darkness. A persuasive voice continues to barge into my brain, corroding it slowly and dipping my heart into a faint sense of death. Even so, a new start at school is one I never expected. Yet I feel so peaceful for having this chance. Well, I mean everything was peaceful till I saw an idiot right within my room. Do you know the worst part? He’s, my roommate!! Of all worse things that could happen, I got this???

Micheal looks at the boy before him with disgust and sharply exits whilst closing the door behind him. He smacks his face in frustration and hears a voice coming from the door.

Hey, new guy. If you want to sleep out there, I could bring you a candle or something to help. By the way I have a good enough charm for girls, so you better not think I’m ugly. Hey!!

Micheal opens the door again and looks at his new roommate in disappointment. He walks in swiftly with his luggage and sits on the bed at the right side of the room.

You do know that’s my bed, right? Are you blind?

Micheal’s frustration increases as he rises from the bed to the one at the left side of the room. He picks up his magic book and begins learning new spells and mana circulation theories. Micheal’s roommate walks towards him and pulls the book down slowly to see Micheal’s face. He notices the angry face of Micheal and makes a disgusted face at Micheal.

You look way uglier than I.

Pahh!!!!!!

Micheal slaps the boy throwing him off his balance into the nearby wall. The boy opens his eyes with a swollen cheek and lifts his arms as a means to show surrender but receives additional slaps from Micheal leaving his face swollen all over. He pleads with Micheal to spare him of which he does and sits in a lotus position so Micheal treats his swollen face.

I’m sorry boss (with a swollen cheek).

You better be, what’s your name?

I’m Jamphel, boss. I’m a commoner so please don’t pay that much attention to me. We commoners are usually clustered, but I was lucky enough to be in a room with you, boss.

That sure looks like a happy face huh, are you insulting me in your head?

Micheal glares at him with a motive of giving him an additional beating for his facial gesture. Jamphel smiles hardly as he perceives Micheal as a reincarnated demon lord and starts shaking in fear.

Calm down, I’m not beating you up right now.

That means you will beat me later.

How stupid can one be to have survived this far in a cruel world. Sigh… Don’t let me kill you before you actually get a chance to be laid.

Damn, that hurt. How did boss know I am still a virgin.

Micheal turns to the side in embarrassment and whispers to himself. Jamphel continues with his polite movements of pain due to Micheal’s treatment.

That’s because I am one too (in a shy voice).

Well, that’s not surprising either.

Micheal beats Jamphel up a couple more for him to bleed from his nose. He sits Jamphel down and tells Jamphel a bit about himself.

I’m Micheal by the way. I recently enrolled like you did so I’m new to all these, but I will try to make my guardians proud.

Oh, was it your parents that got you enrolled?

It was nothing of that sort actually. My parents aren’t alive, and I have only one guardian now. She’s scary but it’s that manageable. (smiling with his hands trembling)

Jamphel starts crying upon hearing Micheal’s story and tries to hug Micheal tightly. Micheal slaps him again to not be touching him that way and gives Jamphel a knock to not forget instructions. Jamphel stands upright and points at Micheal.

Boss, you had a cruel life growing up. No relationships, no parents, I bet you haven’t even kissed before. However, do not fret. I will be your one and only butler/ best buddy forever to survive through this dark hell of a school, so we become the greatest. Our quest of celibacy will be over soon when we find the perfect girls with my sweet words and your sharp eyes. We will be unstoppable!!!

Micheal looks at Jamphel awkwardly and breaks into laughter. Making it the first time he genuinely expressed happiness after all he had been through. He makes up a fist bump to Jamphel and smiles at him.

Together Jamphel, we will be unstoppable.

Administration and affiliate affairs of University of Legends.

Headmaster Ral’s office.

The headmaster, also known as the chancellor of the university sips his green tea as he reads through the files of activities within the school. He stands and turns to the window and sighs whilst brushing his white beard. The students in his view move on with their activities, with some walking to lectures, training halls and others sparring with each other. A man opens the door and walks into the office with more files with an attempt of addressing a concerned matter.

I believe you have assessed each student’s strength so far, right?

Yes Chancellor. Each student has showcased impressive and revolutionary talents so far. This year feels like a good harvest.

Of course, it is hahaha. With knowledge of the dragon slayer amongst us, why won’t we be in high hopes for this year’s badge.

The dragon slayer sir?

Yes, I do believe he has enough potential to bring down even the strongest legends within this world. He was enrolled by the second ranked legend in Vis Empire, Akshar. A noble woman who fought her way to the top to become the strongest of her peers, and her power as thunderous as the roar of a dragon. Although she requests, we keep our eyes on him at all times, we can find some good in him into being a sword of the empire against the greater gods.

That is one true suggestion Chancellor. Would you require excessive training on him?

I do not think that would be necessary. We vowed to treat each commoner as equals and each noble also as equals, but the nobles do not want to affiliate themselves with commoners. Perhaps when they feel a suppressing power far higher than theirs, they would learn what it feels to be afraid. I fear I might not live long enough to protect my dear students, but I will still put in my upmost best to ensure their safety at all times.

I will take note of that sir. Anything else you would want me to keep check of?

Mmmm, the beast men of the Yscarch have begun to cross their borders in search of new territories. They might attack the Vis Empire sooner or later and we stand as the safeguard for the next generation. Pick the strongest of the final year students to have a reconnaissance mission and keep tabs on the movements of the Yscarch.

Yes chancellor. I shall now take my leave.

Well, Micheal…. This will be an interesting year for my students. How deep is the power that resides in you, dear Micheal.
