The sound of wooden swords clashing against one another, shoes shuffling across the ground. It had been a year from when the group had decided to enter into Kaleir Academy together. Marcel had reached level 5 in that year passed and as a result he has become much stronger. Nora and Gregory had been training along side Marcel, and although they couldn't keep up with his progression, they themselves had become much stronger. Marcel is facing off against Nora and Gregory in a 2 on 1, Nora uses red to knock him off balance then Gregory will strike him with the wooden sword, but Marcel uses the magic he has learned over the year.
[NOW CASTING: wind step,]
[THIS SPELL ALLOWS THE USER TO MOVE VERY QUICKLY. THIS SPELL CAN ONLY BE USED FOR 3 SECONDS]
Marcels uses wind step to pass by Red and take the piece of cloth out from Nora's pocket, which is the rules they agreed upon Marcel had to take out the cloth from both their pockets and they had to hit him with the sword once.
"Come on now is that the best you two can do?" Marcel taunts them.
"Ah I miss the days when we could kick your ass" Gregory says whilst preparing for a big swing.
Marcel dodges the path of the sword and places his hand on Gregory's chest, Marcels hand began erupting with wind flowing from it. This is elemental magic, the most common type of magic used in this world. there are four main types of magic, fire, water, earth and wind. Normally, someone would only be able to use one of these four and someone who can use two of these is considered powerful. Marcel can use all four. When he found this out he told Kyero, however Kyero didn't seem as pleased as Marcel was.
"Kyero look I can use all four elements!" Marcel said in excitement.
"My god, that's ama- wait... You can't. You can't let anyone else know about this you must only use two" Kyero fearfully said.
"What but why? why must I hide them?" Marcel questioned Kyero.
"You mustn't use them all. Because if the king were to find out. He would have you used as a servant to make others fear him" Kyero whispered.
"The king?" Marcel wondered if the king was corrupt.
"The king used to be a great man. One of the greatest kings across all the lands, but one day when his wife passed. He went mad. Paranoid. He thought everyone was his enemy. Even his own children ran away from the castle" Kyero hung his head.
"I understand, wait what is the kings name?" Marcel queried.
"Damien Caldia" Kyero answered.
Ever since that day, Marcel swore that he would only ever use fire and wind magic. Going back to today. Marcel dodges the path of the wooden sword, places his hand on Gregory's chest then blasts him into the wall.
"Hey! I thought you were taking the cloth. Not our damn lives" Gregory says, crumpled into a ball in the corner.
"Hahaha oh dear Gregory" Marcel says laughing, while holding the piece of cloth he took out his pocket when he threw him.
"god dammit I had a feeling today was gonna be the day we beat you. Then I remeber how scary you actually are" Gregory says staring at Marcel with an evil glare.
"What ever do you mean, I'm such an innocent person" Marcel says with a smile.
Kyero walks into the garden where the rest of them are.
"Well it looks like everything went as usual huh?" Kyero giggles.
"Shut it old man!" Nora says while pouting.
"Hey! I'm only 30 years old" Kyero tries to defend himself.
"Anyways, the entrance exam to get into Kaleir Academy is in 3 days but it will take you 2 days to get there. so get your things. Were going to Valtea" Kyero says, smiling.
Nora and Gregory start jumping up and down with excitement. Where as Marcel looks more confused then a cow in the streets.
"Is there something special about Valtea?" Marcel questioned.
"Wait... You dont know !! Valtea is home to one of the greatest things that this world has ever seen !" Nora says bursting with excitement.
"Exactly ! the greatest sword expert of all time." Gregory says, exerting the same energy as Nora.
"Katiya" Nora and Gregory said her name in unison.
Gregory begins to drool. And Nora seems to begins to give Greogry a cold stare.
"Katiya? I wonder if I could fight her" Marcel says to himself.
Nora, Gregory and even Kyero look at him with a blank look on their faces.
"you think.... you could be ANY LESS INSANE?!" Nora shouts.
"What? I dont see the problem here?" Marcel says, confused.
After Nora and Gregory explain all this things Katiya has done and the fact that she is around the same age as them Marcel finally realizes how crazy he actually sounded. Then Kyero takes them all outside after they had finished packing all their belongings and the clothes they needed aswell as the uniform that came in the mail a few days ago. They went into the carriage waiting for them outside and said goodbye to Kyero.
"Well miss you, you old man" Gregory says before they all hug him with tears in their eyes.
"Dont be too much trouble alright? Or else I'll get Marcel to kick your asses again" Kyero says trying to hold back the tears.
"Oh we wont, dont worry" Nora says balling out and holding Kyero tighter.
After their long hug goodbye. They get into the carriage and they start on their journey to Valtea as they wave goodbye to Kyero until he couldn't be seen anymore. The travel was long and arduous. They had to sleep near a campfire for both the one night when they were on the road. Marcel stayed up longer then the others to train, as usual. then, the next day they reached their destination, Valtea.
