The dark aura was still blinding me after that terrifying sentence I could hear nothing but voice of clear blade slashes but I wasn't able to move. This was the first time 6 years I was always strong and better than other kids I was always in a spotlight but coming here I am mere insect I can't take it anymore.
"Bring.." my breathing shifted from slow to very heavy still I shouted "Bring it on let me show you what we call power in this world."
Dead silence all the guards every other children was staring at me. But I was scared inside but suddenly.
"Raven" a voice with some authority what was his name Arashi I can't move my body but in front of me the black fog is being separated a clear blue line of cut and a sound of thunderstrike right into my ears.
"What? What is happening" I took a step back a cold sweat break from my head to neck I turned my head
The scene gave me a heartattack Arashi's katana was drawn by just one cm but behind him was a colossal figure of a pitch black dragon with the eyes of universe.
"Well, Well, pleased to meet you the genius of the dark: Arashi Ushimoto" The same terrifying voice that came before the fog took over but with politeness.
"Not pleased to meet you Nyx Sensei, Nyx you are delaying the admission process step aside as my hands are itching to kill someone" Arashi spoke like his intension was clear and words were true.
My whole power scale shattered he was looking that if he would breathe heavily his lungs would explode but whatever this power is I know he is the strongest in the room
"Definitely I am willing to do so but a slave is a bit too much " Nyx he said right? I finally turned to see who is it she was a girl and on her back was a twin blade of black glass but before I could speak a bag of money landed on her shoulder with extreme accuracy.
"This should do the work guard mark this defect as an anchor for team 0. Two S-grade and one E-grade" she said deadpan and vanish instantly. I was the king in my mother's arms but a servant here and I can't do anything.
I wanted to turn to talk to him but a hand grabbed my hand it was warm and reflecting safety I turned to see a very pretty girl who was glancing different from crowd but also my childhood friend: Pearl and also who is the other S rank.
This is shamefull for me.
"You are no one's servant" she said with softness and a bright smile but I too knew I was no match for him I turned to just bow to him but he had picked his belonging himself and raised a hand in front of me.
"You are not a scumbag in this world who have the will are the strongest. Myself Ushimoto Arashi"
he said it I expected him to be rude but he was opposite his face was stone and whole body was scarred: nail bed empty and currently bleeding, whole hand has scars from healing one eye closed with a heavy scar he raised his hand.
"Nice to meet you Arashi my name is Zorian sterling" I was shaking. Pearl was shocked she had never seen me break like that but but I raised my hand "But remember I am born to surpass you and become the world strongest" yes but could I get the context??
For few second Arashi's eyebrow was raised and he turn to Pearl who was looking at him with pure hate in fear that he would hurt me
But she was also really confused that what was happening but before any one of us could speak the guard came and said "Master Arashi you three are last team left" I was shocked just a second room was filled with children but now... I turn my head the place was empty. Some had gone to Worker class while some in Arcanist class.
"You will know everything in about time What was your name again" Arashi said politely I turned my head worker class would never knew anything they will be just."Zorian" I replied I am thinking too much I must trust the process.
I turned to Pearl "I will be fine Ok??" I turned my attention and started walking with her forgetting Arashi and asked "When did you become that Strong" I asked with a teasing smile.
"This isn't the problem" she said with emotions but fear "That Arashi boy his sword had a scent an ancient, powerful demonic -" I interrupted "Don't think that much we don't know anything yet nothing about these people There power just wait to see what time has left for us" I said and there was huge silence for a second "I think you are right" she said with trust on me.
And we both I mean Arashi has Catched up we all got the ID's my Rank was E but they both has written S-rank and we started walking towards the arcanist class.
I never thought that a space aircraft like would ever exist and be this long we are walking for like 15-minutes! know. Besides me was walking Pearl who was very attentive and observing everything for my protection.
But my eyes were lock centre Arashi his face was the peak masculine figure that people don't have till 30 he is just 6 what kind of hell he has gone through.
I was busy thinking this but another door came.
"Huhh" A man in royal robes opened the door and said "Why are you guys so late all other have taken there companions only three are left you are lucky come on In pick yours up"
"Companions??" Pearl said in shock but entered the door.
Behind her Arashi gave me a nod to enter the door and he entered after me.
In the room was no more than 3 mythical creatures that are the fantasy and imagination of people on the ground.
"The name is Kael and I am the keeper of all these creatures The 3 creatures you see have different trait and powers but share two things same loyalty and power to resize their body" he said directly to us
face and took out three papers "You can take any one of them but they should also agree this is the contract sign it"
Before I could speak Pearl said "Resize" her eyes lit up she snatched the paper and signed it "here I signed it can I pick now??" she said to Kael.
"For sure" Kael said.
I following her signed it and as all this time Arashi signed the last.
We all went near the creature they all were awake and were looking at us innocently they were not adults I assume they were born few weeks or months ago.
"The baby dragon you see is Vyrm The baby Pegasus is Astrael and the baby hawk is Kyris" Kael explained us but before he could end the sentence.
Kyris flew towards me and sat on my shoulders "I guess I am taking that" I said with happiness
"Aww so cute I am taking my Astrael" Pearl said with curiousity and with extreme happiness
"I guess the little lord of Ushimoto will get a dragon" Kael said while looking at Arashi. I and Pearl who was petting Astrael also looked at him.
"Yes he has no choice" Pearl said with hate. Arashi ignored her and step forward
"I don't know if you could understand this but it is my duty so I must say it I can't promise you a shelter nor treat I am not powerful enough to save you yet i crave emotions and that is why I promise if you will become my friend I will protect you from my life" his words were filled with emotions.
We all stood quite for a long time but then Arashi raised his hand and made a fist. My heart sank the few month old dragon looked terrifying but my face Pearl face and Mr. Kael face changed shape our jaws dropped to ground.
Vyrm the literal dragon raised his pitch black five-fingered hand and gave a fist bump to Arashi
A smile broke into mine and Kael face and seeing my face smiling Pearl relaxed and also smile
Vyrm jumped to Arashi's shoulder and opened his wings to scare Astrael and Kyris. As a result Kyris from my shoulder flew in my hand and Astrael shrunk himself and got in Pearl's pocket.
"Hahaha" Kael laughed "Typical Dragon behaviour. From here you are officially going to meet your sensei as nothing more is left and go start your TRAINING."
The hallway we were walking was dead silent we didn't stop moving although my legs were tired we I mean they were focused on there new friend.
Not more than 5 seconds after we were standing Next to a gate which has the lable of TEAM-0. "Finally we have around I was tired of seeing other no. than 0 and I finally arrived" It was The joyous words of Pearl as I turned to her. Her glare were lock on Arashi with a smell of hatred but Arashi was ignorant and for the first time in the day he was the first one to enter.
I ran behind him but to my surprise Pearl grabbed my sleeve and said.
"Zorian I don't know why? But you keep doing this" she said with a smile and concern.
"Do what??" I asked with curiosity.
"Ohh Zorian you must have done some research but I don't want to spoil anything as you hate lectures" she said with a smile before she could say another word.
[Vance Kaze - POV]
I was walking down in this hallway after a long time I haven't walked here since I was a student myself.
Although I have appointed in a special case this batch has two S-rank Arcanist so it will definitely need M rank to handle them both in the same team.
As I walked down the hallway I could see two figures talking. They must be my team and there must be teasing.
"I think it is a lot uncommon setting a romantic variable at 6 right? Zorian sterling"I said my face was rock cold but I let my FLUX leak in the air.
The air around us gained a physical weight and Purple colour which was no problem to me but they were constantly fighting the environment to not get pinned down.
"In the class now" I said right away without letting them say anything I released the pressure and they both vanish.
Zorian is not the S-rank then who?
I opened the door they both were scared that is why sitting straight and not even looking at me but I got my answer of 'Who'
Arashi Ushimoto.
I entered the class and said "My name is Vance Kaze widely known as the dragon hunter I welcome you all to this new phase of life but my special welcome to the GENIUS OF THE DARK"
Zorian is impatient although a rank of worker he has kings will he straight up asked still in face "And can you please mention the name of this genius sensei."
Pearl who is cold hearted but I can see a clear sense of protection and keeping Zorian safe although jealous for Arashi as she said "Sorry Sensei Zorian asks a obvious question who else is in this room if not me not you then who is in this room?? common sense Zorian"
... In this chaos between both of them my both eyes were on him he was silent and looking at the clouds as you can obviously see nothing else.
"Very well if I don't get answer I believe I should be patient" I said with showing no emotion but I should definitely let them settle.
After few minutes of silence I began "I am not a history teacher so I am not gonna give you lectures and notes to study my students makes progress through practical approach but before that I must clear three things: 1. You are different from normal people 2. Your body works on flux definition of it I will give you later and 3. You must never talk about this with anyone" I completed.
"If you are done Mr. Dragon hunter when are we going to hunt the rats??" - Said Arashi
