LUCAS WYKES
I wake the following day with a pit of dread in my stomach. Because after this little expedition to the beast glades the fucking war with Alacrya will kick off with Draneeve and his little minions attacking Xyrus academy but...
'But this time Lucas Wykes wont be on their side. No I! will not be on their side so, when Draneeve and his group of dickheads attack Xyrus I will fight him to the fucking death and carve out his bastard heart and eat it. Not because I'm a bloody damn hero like Mr King Grey no! because I need to send a message to Agrona letting him know that he needs sleep with one eye opened at night.'
I dress in my adventurers clothes consisting of light grey conjurer's armor and a red hooded cloak. After dressing I leave a note for Jamie with a set of instruction on how to proceed when I'm gone.
I walked towards the door and opened it and left without looking back.
"Never look back man." That's what one of the only two people on earth I considered my closest friends had said to me. 'I wonder how Rowan and Daniel are doing, ha Daniel's probably scoring goals in the world cup by now.' My mood soured for moment at the fact that I would never get to see the world cup again. I shook the thoughts of as I walked toward the entrance of Xyrus academy were the rest of the students were either waiting or just arriving.
"Oh you're here early Graves." I drawled. "And here I thought you would be squinting at some useless documents at your dorm." I said smirking.
"A good morning to you as well Wykes!." He said with a sneer."
"Good morning kids." Professor Glory said with grin as she smoothed out her cloak. "We'll be taking this gate to the Beast Glades so, feel free to get yourself situated." She declared pointing at the line of about 8 students.
I joined the line of students. Then I saw a familiar face in the line.
"The director sure is rich don't you think so? Lucas." Roland said pointing at the teleportation that was decorated with gold.
'Oh this fella is gonna be running with me? shit say less brev! this trip might be fun after all.' I thought with a grin. "Come on man the are people in Sapin wayy! richer than the old crone." I said to Roland. But he merely laughed. "Like your...father you mean?"
I shook my head not considering that old cunt Ottis as my father. 'My father died when I was nine.'
"No I was thinking of someone like Trodius Flamesworth." I said stroking my chin in thought. He snorted clutching his yellow hair. "That old cunt? I here his tight as vice grip when it comes to landing money to the crown."
"Fact!" I said nodding.
After all this world is both medieval and advanced at the same time strangely. 'But to think these lads still have knights, liege lords and all that other bullshit. But being a noble is not bad cause it means I have knowledge that even a fella like Arthur might not have excess to.' For example the number of man each nation could muster during times of war for example because the Dwarves number 5 million man in total I would wager they could muster up an army of 60,000 to 70,000 as for the elves I'd say the are around 10 million of them so they should be able to muster up an army of at least 100,00 then we move on to the big boys the kingdom of Sapin with a population of 35 million so, they should be able to muster up an army of 200,000 more but...
'Most of the lord of Sapin don't really answer the call some times and plus most of the fucking army consists of none mages.' I mused as someone stood behind me. I didn't turn to look however as professor Glory talked to a guard in light grey armor.
After a few minutes of waiting which I spent chatting to Roland professor Glory signaled for us to enter one by one.
I feel fucking sick as I pass trough the teleportation gate its a feeling that's similar to a liver punch.
'It feels like I'm getting hit by bloodydamn Garcia.' I thought. But the feeling soonpassed.
Professor Glory says some shit I don't care for so I just tune it out and instead think of what my other close from earth friend Rowan would be doing by now.
'I hope that fella isn't crying too much at my funeral.' I snorted inwardly. 'The only people at my funeral are probably the lads from the gym and Rowan and Daniel although the last time I checked that cunt Daniel had moved to Dubai because of that ridiculous £80 million contract that he signed with Madrid of all clubs. The fella makes the £20 million contract I was going to sign with the MMA company I fight for seem like bloody chump change. As for Rowan...he might become a tech billionaire with his crazy programing skills.'
As I woke to reality I saw around me that the 15 or so students of the class were being assigned into teams.
"Alright! everyone make sure to discuss your roles with your team. I'm sure all of you have learned how to work together from the different team mechanics battles we've had in class. And oh you must select a leader from amongst your team." She said to the different students while she stood on top of a rock.
'Is she mad?' I asked myself as I looked my quote on quote teammates. 'And why the fuck am I in a team with these three dickheads?' I thought in annoyance.
Standing in front of me are the two most crispy-cream glazed individuals on the whole school Arthur Leywin and Tessia Eralith....and of course my besty according to Arron.
'Clive fucking graves!'
I sucked my teeth hard like Daniel.
We all set in a circle in silent for a few moments until Roland broke the silence.
"Its nice to meet you princess Tessia....and everyone my name is Roland Alderman I am water attribute augmenter my hobbies are relaxing, shopping and going on dates with pretty girls and I also like to...."
"No one asked about your hobbies." Clive said interrupting Roland.
Roland shrugged and continued. "I'm adapt at mid range but my weakness is close range next!" He said glancing at Arthur who did not shift his azure eyes away from me for a moment.
'Brev its early in the morning and what the fuck did I do to you?' I complained inwardly.
"Arthur Leywin I am an earth and wind dual elemental augmenter adapt at all ranges but I prefer mid to close." He stated looking directly at me.
"Clive graves, wind augmenter adapt long range combat because of my bow and I have no weaknesses to speak of."
I rolled my eyes and drawled. "Lucas Wykes tri-elemental conjurer adapt at all ranges."
"Tessia Eralith conjurer adapt at midrange and I have specialization in both wind and plant magic." Tessia said looking from Arthur to me?
'Oh shit I nearly forgot!'
I turned to Tessia which cause Arthur's gaze to sharpen slightly but I did not care after all unlike Arthur I felt nothing for the girl.
"Princess." I said smirking. "Don't you have something to say to your savior?" Her eyebrows rose then she pursed her lips and said. "Thanks for saving me from Curtis's I am in your debt Lucas." She said curtly.
I nodded. "But princess you do realize that a thank you wont cut it right?" I asked sharply causing Clive to open his cunt mouth then he closed it knowing his place knowing that I am owed from preventing a civil war between the Elven and Human kingdoms.
"You do know that if I didn't stop Curtis he would have killed you right? But of course it would be an accident I mean how would he know that you would have a problem with your core and lose the ability to defend yourself with mana? But we all know that would not matter would it now? The elves would demand justice that being Curtis's head and the humans would be outraged that the elves are demanding the death of their prince! their future king and liege lord. You see princess I am owed something worth two nations going to war."
I cracked my neck as I spoke. "Although it seems no one from both Sapin and Elenoir are particularly impressed by me saving your life!. But my father will soon get word of this...matter if he hasn't already, he'll probably put pressure on old Blaine to ask for me to be rewarded appropriately something like marriage is likely to be proposed...."
Arthur's gaze becomes even colder as he shifted slightly I could also feel a tinge of killing intent from him. But I stay calm because the days Arthur is superior are numbered.
'I have your measure you cunt! you not as fast as you seem and you have habits like everyone else and I will expose said habits.'
"But I don't care for marriage or anything of the such." Said with an aloof tone.
'Do I look like fucking Puffy to any of you lads?' I thought in amusement as I stood.
"Then what do you want?" Arthur asked sharply his voice like a whip lashing out. I chuckled. "Oh....does our dear princess of Dicathen have no mouth of her own. To think a fucking peasant is question on your.."
"You!" Arthur said rising slightly but Tessia placed her hand on his calming him down
'Provoking this cunt is so fun.' I thought with dark glee.
"Shut! up Lucas and tell me what you want already." Tessia snapped with a stern expression on her face.
I sighed. "I want your grandfather Virion to swear to do whatever I tell him to do when the time comes."
They all looked at each other with confused faces as Tessia nodded slowly. Likely thinkng all I want is to be mentored by Virion in the future or be given Elven citizenship since I'm a half elf and all.
"Well." I said standing. "I've said my peace. Give my regards to your grandfather oh...and keep your red-headed dog on a tighter leash" I said as I walked towards the entrance of the dungeon.
