The Imperium academy for gifted 3

A

After completing all the procedures, Dea met up with Shiloh, Ivy, and Caelum. They were sitting in a restaurant on a busy street.

"Hey, You finished everything?" Asked Ivy.

Dea nodded.

"Good, then we have more than two weeks to have fun. Aqua and Aries will be arriving in two days, and Leonel the day after that. Ahh and the Academy is allowing students to watch the exams, want to go?"

"Hmm." After getting the answer she wanted, Ivy continued to talk cheerfully, and others listened. She did not stop talking even after they brought the food.

  The evening went cheerfully, and after playing around, they went back to the house. The house they rented was a large, three-story villa, near the academy. When Aqua and others arrived, they would also be leaving there.

Three days went by quickly, and finally, Leonel arrived as well.

"So, are we going out tonight?" Asked Leonel.

"Of course, There is going to be this fair tonight. Food, fun, shows, and so on, but first, we have to go to the adventurer's guild, register Dea and Shiloh and add them to our party." Said Ivy with sparkling eyes.

  Rosewood city was located on the edge of the Libra country and technically was under their jurisdiction, but as the number one academy, it had lots of freedom. Life here was bustling even during the hard times. 

  There were lots of different fairs, auctions, casinos, and other fun establishments, moreover, there were no age or gender restrictions, so students always go wild when they have free time. It's not like they lacked money. Most of the students here were from prominent families.

  After going to the guild and registering Dea and Shiloh, both got adventurer cards and became F-rank adventurers. Then they officially joined Ivy's and others' party. When Dea saw the name of the party, she almost threw up. The party was c ranked, but this name was just…

  As both Dea and Shiloh looked down at their adventurer's cards and then looked at each other, they both understood what the other was thinking as they were thinking the same thing. They were both questioning their life choices.

  Seeing their reaction Leonel and others immediately understood what Dea and Shiloh were thinking.

"You see, it's a long story." Said Aqua.

"Not really, it's all this idiots' fault." Said Leonel.

"Yeah, it's all Aries's doing." Agreed Ivy, without batting an eye.

"You guys. How can you blame all that on me…?" refuted Aries.

"Well, it's Aries's fault." Agreed Aqua, as well, not listening to Aries's protest.

  So, what happened was Aqua, Ivy, and Leonel could not make up their mind about the name of the party.

  Ivy wanted "Bloody Rose" as the name, Aqua wanted "Jade Owl", and Leonel wanted "The majestic lions". Since they could not decide on the name, they all very kindly without any threats asked Aries to choose one he liked the most and submit the name. Aries did not want to choose, so he combined the three names thinking to make everyone happy, and even added his own twist and submitted the name "These bloody jade lions". When others saw it, they wanted to cry and change the name, but since the guild does not allow it, they could only take out their anger on the poor Aries.

  Listening to their story, Dea could not help but think that these people deliberately concealed the party name.

'Well, it's fine.' Thought Dea. She did not really care much about the name, and on second thought this name sounded pretty fun. Her lips could not help but curve upwards.

  While she was immersed in her own thought, others remembered their bitter past, and they could not help but scold Aries.

"You guys are so unfair, blaming it all on me." Said Aries while pouting.

  Honestly speaking, Aries was a 6-foot tall man with a strong hunk-like body, but since he was from a matriarchal country. His type was not really popular there, even though he was pretty good-looking.

"Whose fault is it then? Any of the three names would have been much better, and why did you add 'these' in the front? Every time someone uses our party name, it sounds like they are scolding us." Said Leonel.

Aqua and Ivy nodded their heads.

"but… bloody jade lions did not sound good, and I wanted to add something of mine too." Said Aries protesting.

"And adding 'these' in the front sounds good?" Said Ivy.

  When Dea came to herself finally, she saw that the 6-foot hunk was standing there with a lowered head, getting scolded like a child by Ivy and Leonel while Aqua was nodding her head to the side, agreeing with them. She then looked as Shiloh, who still stood there speechless, was once again reconsidering his life choices.

Dea laughed "Okay, just leave him be. It's fine, isn't it? At least the name is unique. We won't be mistaken for someone else." Said Dea with a smirk.

  Hearing what she said, everyone looked at her surprised, while Aries looked at her with hope-filled eyes.

"Right? isn't it really unique?"

Hearing this, Ivy's, Leonel's, and Aqua's faces darkened. 

"Yes, and when we become famous, we don't have to worry that someone will try to pretend to be us." Said Dea with a smile.

  Hearing this, others' faces became darker, but Aries did not understand the situation and cheerfully continued.

"Right? I thought so too."

"Thought so too, my ass." Leonel roared, and they started another round of scolding. Poor hunk once again turned into a small child batting his innocent eyes and feeling wronged.

  Dea just stood there with a cold face, but if you looked closely, you could see the small curve of his lips, while Shiloh just stood next to her quietly, enjoying the happy moments.

  After everyone finally calmed down, it was already evening, and it was time to go to the fair. They all had a great time that night. Walking on the busy streets, buying different things, and looking at beautiful shows all while trying delicious food from one stall to another. 

  Fair continued the whole night, so by the time they all got home sun was starting to come up, and they were all very tired and exhausted. Even though, as practitioners, they had strong bodies, mentally they were still tired from all the moving. So, they all, without any words, went to their rooms peacefully, falling asleep, unsuspected of the disaster coming their way.

P.s 

Adventurer's Guild has a simple ranking system

Each adventurer is ranked from F to +S same for the adventurer party.
