Ancient Imperial Calendar Year 1809
On the first day of Ricardo's academy life, he was assigned to the first floor because he was the youngest child in the family. The Academy Masters assigned each of the brothers to different floors and prohibited them from leaving their floors until the next year except for training. This was a precaution against the possibility of the brothers strangling each other from the very first day.
As soon as Ricardo entered his classroom, all eyes turned towards him. This situation felt very nostalgic to him. In his previous life, when he was still a prince, he had gone to the Ancient Empire's Crown Academy and as soon as he entered his classroom, all eyes turned towards him. On the other hand, while the Crown Academy resembled an extremely elegant, magnificent and noble Mansion, the Blood Academy, where the children of Kislave were raised, had a pessimistic, suffocating, reactionary atmosphere that could give the feeling that you could lose your life at the slightest mistake.
Ricardo sat at the front of the class in a specially prepared seat for him, his close friends Marco and Marilin were with him, Marilin was trying to hide her smile, she covered her mouth with her hand, but she was agitated inside, the man she was in love with was right next to her, right under her nose, she could hear her breathing, her face and muscular body, she could look at every detail very closely
"Oh my God, Oh my God, it's so close, so close, calm down Mari, calm down aaaaa I'm so happy, I'm grateful to the Spirits of my Ancestors, my love is right next to me"
Of course, Ricardo, who was 14 on the outside and 84 on the inside, noticed Marilin's state, looked away from Marilin, sighed, and thought how did I get into this state
"Haaa what did I do to get into this situation, not to mention she is my granddaughter's age, what the hell am I going to do, oh man I need to somehow alienate this girl from me"
While Ricardo was making plans to alienate Marilin from himself, something caught his attention
"Not that, but everyone here has blood red hair and eyes, so is everyone here descended from me?"
Ricardo knew that the Kislavein blood was a very dominant blood, but this situation seemed very strange to him, how could a blood have such a dominance that it caused so many people to have similar appearances.
Ricardo folded his arms and leaned back against the desk, this situation caught his attention a lot
"The best thing is to go to the library, I can find all kinds of information from family trees to historical events there"
While Ricardo was lost in his thoughts, Academy Master Tristan Kislavein entered the classroom, stood in front of the board, first suppressed the students with his Aura to establish his authority over them, even Ricardo was slightly impressed, then Tristan folded his hands behind his back and stretched his chest
"Listen to me apprentices, it doesn't matter whose son or daughter you are here, you are the academy's assets. UNDERSTAND"
When there was no response from the students, Tristan spoke louder
"UNDERSTAND I SAID"
The students reflexively and with some fear
"UNDERSTAND MASTER"
Tristan felt his ego satisfied and didn't even bother to hide his arrogant face, but he heard that three of the students didn't answer. They were the Lord's son Ricardo and Marco and Marilin sitting next to him. Ricardo was the Lord's son and it wouldn't be a wise move to go against him. If he messed with Ricardo, the House Lord Orsman would interpret this as an act of rebellion against his House and kill him horribly as an example to the world. However, this was not the case for those sitting next to Ricardo. Tristan turned his gaze to Marco and Marilin.
"I see there are some fools who don't understand words"
Tristan pointed to Marco and then to Marilin and moved for both of them to stand up. The twins who stood up showed no signs of fear or obedience. Tristan thought of using the twins to scare everyone.
"What is the point you don't understand, I told you that you are the property of this academy, what is the point you don't understand about this"
Trista's eyes suddenly turned to Marilin, her beauty and charm attracted even Tristan, who was in his thirties, while she extended her hand towards Marilin, Ricardo made a short sword from his aura and cut Tristan's hand. Tristan lost his balance in pain and fear, was thrown back and started screaming and cursing in pain
"AAAAAAAAAA SON OF A BITCH HOW DARE YOU CUT OFF MY HAND I AM ONE OF THE MASTERS OF THIS ACADEMY"
Ricardo leaned his hand on the table and jumped over the table with a leap, continued to add aura to the short aura sword in his hand and slowly increased the length and sharpness of his sword, approached Tristan with slow and threatening steps, the cruelty in his eyes penetrated Tristan's soul
"Stop, I'm sorry, why are you angry, I didn't do anything to you"
Ricardo's anger was evident in the tone of his voice, raising his sword in the air
"Didn't you do anything at all, you dared to openly humiliate my friends in front of everyone, more importantly, you dared to lay a hand on Marilin, my Marilin, I will put that hand up your ass"
Before Tristan could even say anything or plead for his life, Ricardo separated Tristan's head from his body.
A week passed and this incident was talked about throughout the academy. A student, the son of the Lord, had killed a Master, and in broad daylight, in front of everyone's eyes. The other academy masters held meetings and discussed what to do about this matter. While some wanted to punish Ricardo, the majority thought of ignoring the situation because they were afraid of Orsman's anger. As the discussions got more intense, they decided to leave the decision to the Dynasty Lord. A few masters told Orsman about the situation and listened to what happened. Orsman made the decision.
"Of course it is not acceptable for Ricardo to kill an Academy Master, on the other hand, Tristan reaching out to a woman from our Dynasty, especially my son's woman, in that way is not something he can pay even with death, so my decision is that Ricardo will not be tried for Tristan's death, but I will subject Ricardo to a difficult test so that this incident does not set a bad example for other students, on the other hand, Tristan's death has been a lesson to some wild dogs who call themselves masters"
Nobody opposed Orsman's decision, all they thought was what kind of test would be applied to Ricardo
Two weeks passed, Ricardo was taken to the arena under the supervision of the Masters, when he got to the middle of the arena, he raised his voice in the sense of a Master
"The students of the Blood Academy, the student Ricardo Kislavein, who is currently in the arena, has been put to the test for killing a Master. If he fails, he will be punished. If he wins, this murder will be forgotten"
The students started talking among themselves
"So, if we kill a Master and pass this test, nothing will happen"
These and similar conversations started to be talked about among the students. The Masters thought that it was time to start the test
"Now the test begins"
The iron doors opened and 10 monsters that were the size of an adult and scary looking came out of them. They were the monsters of Kerbel Forest. Ricardo was going to have his first serious battle in this life.
3 of the monsters in front of him were Jumping Deathclaws, monsters that jump high and fall quickly, tearing their prey to pieces.
2 of them were Mist Wolves, the air they breathe turns into fog, this fog is extremely poisonous and causes the prey to lose consciousness.
1 of them was Mud Cycle, a monster that is resistant to physical attacks and creates destruction with its mass power.
4 Boneweaving Siege Snakes: Fast assassins surrounded by poisonous needles and bone armor.
Ricardo's opponents were dangerous, but he was a high-tier warrior and a mid-tier mage. Without giving his opponents a chance to attack or prepare, he transferred his mana to his feet and cast a speed spell. He charged towards the monsters at great speed. The students who saw this could not stand still with excitement. Ricardo wrapped his sword and body with his aura. The jumping deathclaws jumped high and quickly lunged at Ricardo. Since they were in a fixed position in the air, Ricardo burned the Jumping Deathclaws to death with his flame spell.
The fog wolves sprayed the poisonous fog they held in their breath towards Ricardo, but when Ricardo protected his brain with his meaning and prevented any future mental damage, the fog wolves had no more moves to make. Ricardo made his sword longer and sharper with his aura and cut both fog wolves in half with a single move. The bone-weaving siege snakes surrounded Ricardo and surrounded him, living up to their name. Ricardo flew himself high with his air magic, surrounded the snakes with thick and hard rocks with his earth magic, then threw a fireball at the snakes and burned them all alive.
He first attacked the last monster, Mudtime, with his aura sword. He evaded Mudtime's attack with his acceleration spell and sped up his own attacks. When Ricardo saw that physical attacks had no effect, he gathered his mana in his hands, the mana took the shape of a water sphere in his hand, and then he blasted all his power towards Mudtime. Although Mudtime withstood this violent current for a long time, Ricardo eventually won and Mudtime died.
The students jumped up from where they were sitting, shouting Ricardo's name in unison, cheering him on. His slaughter of the Academy Master and the Monsters had increased his popularity throughout the Academy in the first few weeks. This would be a big plus in the future when he formed his own group.
