Chapter 3 - Chapter 3:The Beginning (3)

In the morning Naoki was woken up by the nurse stating it's time for him to go to school

Naoki realizing this immediately jump out of the bed and use his torn uniform and goes to class

After awhile he arrives at his class the teacher began to scold at him and then one student spoke

"As expected of the weakest student of our class , Hahahaha!" The students said

Naoki then look who that was and saw who it was a red haired guy named Miguel Avarice the son of the count that contributed on the great war against the elves 20 years ago

"To add more you're wearing ragged uniform offending our great academy! " Miguel yelled

"How can you even show your face to others you're a disgrace to us nobles!" Miguel added

After that his teacher immediately scold Miguel for what he said as Naoki then sit on his table

Just besides him is his one and only friend a blond haired beauty named Angela she specialized in divine magic and is a candidate to be the next saintess.

"Naoki what happened to you? You're all bruised up and your uniform is torned up." Angela said as she began healing him

"I just encountered some minor inconvenience while going home."

"Wait are you one of the students who were saved from the Ent attack yesterday, I'm so glad you're save"Angela said while happily smiling

"Yeah yeah but can you please stop that you're hurting my eyes" Naoki said getting blinded by Angela's radiance.

"Quiet up there!" The teacher yelled

"Anyways today were now gonna talk about the 7 Journals that the {Hero of Light} created".

"For our topic today were gonna talk about the {Armor Journal}".

'Thats the journal that i have!' Naoki muttered

"This journal can give the user any armor that is written on it and with that armor it makes the user almost indestructible. But some says there's another function, when the user is in danger the journal will pick the best armor suitable to defeat it's foe."

As the teacher keep talking a few moments pass by and the bell rang signaling it's lunch time

*Ding* *Ding*

"That's the bell alright everyone that's it for today make sure you pass you'r homework on Monday" After the teacher said that she immediately teleported

" Hey Naoki wanna grab lunch with me?" Angela asked

Naoki is about answer he was then interrupted by Miguel

"Hey I'm not done with you yet, you sorry excuse of a noble."

Miguel then began insulting Naoki and making him look bad

"Stop that!" Angela yelled

"Or what?"

Angela began to channel her magic as her insignia shines but was immediately stop by Naoki

"Miguel let's just do this for another you're only making a fool of yourself." Naoki said

"Tsk" Miguel then goes outside of the classroom and leave

"Come on let's grab lunch" Naoki said to Angela

As they were walking through the hallway they heard so many people talking about the Ent attack yesterday especially the mysterious armoured man that save the students

"What they are saying is true an armoured man appeares out of thin air and helped the adventures and the students after that he just vanished."

"Do you know anything about it Naoki since you were there?"Angela questioned

Naoki is about to answer but he remembered a conversation he had with Elvin

************

"You shouldn't reveal that Naoki"Elvin said

"Huh? But why?"

"Obviously because that journal is capable of turning someone into a powerful being, they will use everything to get that journal on their hands"

"But the two of you already know it" Naoki rebutted

"Fine let's just do this" he then show his Insignia on his shoulder with a shape of a fire,air,water,earth

"Let's do an Insignia pact with this if you tell anyone this power you get hurt really bad same as me but let's have an example"

Elvin then look around to find anything as an example then Fannar entered the room. Elvin smirk and called Fannar

"Fannar help me real quick"

Elvin then explained the situation

"Alright let's do it" Fannar said

"Let's do a pact where you can't lie" Elvin smirk

Their Insignia then began to shine as both parties agreed on the condition

"Now go on say something to me" Elvin said with a smirk on his face

"You are very annoying"

*Silent*

"Keep going just lie"

"You're useless battle because most of the time you just sit back and make me do the work, you have no manners on the table, you look like an armadillo when you sleep.

*Silent*

Elvin was devastated with it and then sat at the corner looking gloomy

Fannar then ask Elvin a question about his hometown

*Boom*

Elvin was struck by lightning and layed flat on the ground as he doesn't want to tell anyone about his hometown

"Yep knew it, Elvin really hates to talk about his hometown anyways let's do this pact ok?" Fannar smiled

"O-ok.."

*************

"Oh uhhh no sorry"Naoki Answered

'I want to tell her it's me but I don't want to get struck by lightning'

"Oh bummer" Angela muttered

After that they now arrived at the cafeteria

"Hmmm what to pick what to pick."Angela muttered to herself

'I just want to eat I don't care what fo-.. is that Curry?! it's curry day!!!' Naoki said smiling

Angela then look in confusion still with a smile on her face

After they ate their lunch they go to their next class practical training

"Alright everyone our lesson today is {Mana Enhancement}. It's covering a part of your body for example a fist with mana then use this mana to exert force on something while protecting your body."

The teacher said as he then demonstrate it on a huge boulder

*Hmph*

*Crack*

The boulder shattered into many pieces

"You guys try it"

Students begin to use it on log when

*Boom*

Miguel successfully did {Mana Enchantments} in his first try

"Woah as expected of Miguel!"

"He did on his first try!"

The students cheered at Miguel as he looks at Naoki

*Boom*

Naoki already used to this kind of training effortlessly did it on his first try

"Wow I didn't know Naoki is that strong?"

"Yeah never knew he has that talent"

"Tsk, tough luck" Miguel said and return to train

'After that fight I feel much stronger is it because of the journal? No I can only do it with if I have the armor on. Am I stronger than I thought' Naoki muttered to himself

A few moments pass by

*Ding* *Ding*

"Everyone time to leave also the ones who can't do it you must learn it by Monday because we're gonna use it for another practice" The instructor said

"Lets go Naoki" Angela said

"Alright alright"

-----------

"Man it's to hard to learn that"

"I know right like we're not even gonna use it in the future because we're already rich"

The students still complaining then a fist came and punch one of the students

*Thuds*

"Ow! Miguel What was that for!?!" The student yelled

"You useless being and you call yourself a noble you think just because your ancestors achieves nobility you think you can just laze around you're no noble. Do you know the hardship they suffered only to realize their descendents are a wuss and complain about training!" Miguel yelled

"*Sigh* you're useless even Naoki the weakest is much better than you"

----------

Naoki return to his home and gets greeted by one of their maids

"Welcome home young master." A pink haired girl appeared and Naoki felt fear from her gazes

"Oh uh hello Dawn"

"Young Master if I may ask where were you yesterday..."

*Gulp*

"The Madam is worried sick about you..."

Just as Dawn is scolding Naoki his mother came crying while running at him

"Oh my baby what happened to you I heard from your teacher you got caught on the Ent attack yesterday."

"Don't worry Mom it's alright I'm fine now" Naoki explained everything to her mother excluding the part about the journal

"Alright then let's go eat and get you ready for bed

After they all eat Naoki wash himself in the bath and returned to his room to do his homework

"So many things happened in just two days."

"Wait why don't I try out for the adventurer tomorrow, since it's a weekend and I have nothing to do. Alright let's finish this homework and sleep it will be a big day tomorrow!"
