Currently a list was being read to the school.
I listened to my fate as the announcer spoke.
The quest of champions this year will be graced by "Kyla snow second year student mage, Lee koffer third year student mage. Rand Altair third year student mage. Everyone began to murmur when they head the name rand Altair. Two boys close to me could not keep thier disgust for this rand hidden.
[He is that outsider that never graduates.]say the first guy.
[ Always bottom of his class year after year] what I would give to trash his ass.
[ I hear he hunts week bests outside dungeons] the first guy say again and the two burst out laughing.
I don't feel alone knowing someone like rand is in this school. Atheist I am not the only one slacking off.
" Why haven't I seen him before?
The announcement continued and my name came out last and finally zegglar harken. All of you report to the administrative block now. Meet instructor ryker and Lyra stone. They will be teaching you how to survive the quest of champions. Good luck to you all. May your cores never fail you. And then silence looms for a minute before everyone in the class continue to converse once again.
They are doomed one of the boys say, Lyra stone is not even a true stone. What does she know about honor and champions]
"Take it back! I yelled.
What will you do about it loser. Burn me in my sleep
like you did to arena five!
The others giggle as he made faces while stressing his words in jest.
I don't really care about you all. I think the school is trying to get rid of its trash and they are using the quest to do it.
But I can make it quicker for you he said with a smirk on his face as he licked his lips and stood up. "Sit down Julius or your name will be added to the list ." Mila koffer our instructor for beast characteristics said as she began to write on the board.
She was a tiny woman with green eyes just as lyra but not as beautiful and charming.
But Mila koffer had an air of superiority that resonated with her status and made all the students afraid .
The koffer family was also one of the seven families that held the affairs ofnkarydorg.
So the was practically royalty.
After the class I reported to the administrative block just like we were ordered to.
Waiting was hell as the six people who were named earlier to the whole school sat with me in an eerie silent mode outside rykers office.
Lyra didn't have wn office in the administrative block. Searched for it as I walked through the block. Something was amiss. Asking her directly was the plan. I would have to talk to her after the meeting.
Hey, a voice spoke over my shoulder. You are zegglar harken right?
" Yes, I blurt out.
I am rand Altair. I hear you are new here and not awakened like me.
His voice loud. My lips pursed as I try to answer.
" Yes, what do you want.
Nothing just hoping to make a friend, you see. Rand spoke as his eyes shift from one person 5o th3 other. The way he looked at the rest of the crew.
Nice to meet you rand I say t4ying to be polite. I knew how lonely it was here. And this was my chance to have someone to talk to too.
So what did you do to be sentenced to death He asked?
"Um, I fought in arena five and got it burnt.
" No you set it on fire because you hated Hebron. Lee koffer said his eyes gleaming.
I see you have fans the 2hite haired Kyla chipped in
I fought with an instructor, and never stay in class. I do ace school work though.
Like a therapy meeting for delinquents one by one after Kyla we all introduced ourselves to each other except for kane backstein. He was true royalty in the school. The creame of the creame and he was swollen with anger.
Stop looking at me. They insult me ,and I will make sure my family know about this .
They ship me off to battle with a bunch of losers. Uncouth and barbaric breakers of law.
I will never soil my name with unbecoming behavior that you lot posses.
We all knew the reason he was here once he began to speak. He was also a y3ar two Saint level mage. Raw power and young.
The only two persons here which were unawakened were me and rand. And I wondered if he was lik3 me that was why director grue kept him here.
Sorry for keeping you all waiting. Lyra's voice blasted through the hallway as she and ryker approached.
" I am not supposed to be here."
Before we start. I will like to make it clear to all of you. You all are to be expelled from the school. The only way to redeem yourselves is the quest of champions.
If any of you decide to work away them you have agreed to leave the school. Your letter will is waiting for you at the reception if you decide to do that.
If you stay then we will prepare you for what is to come. And if you win the quest you automatically move to the next class as for those in thier third year they officially graduate.
yay! Rand cheers weakly. It dies out as the eyes of all glance towards him.
" What if we die?
Then you all will be remembered as those who failed to win. Lyra said solemnly.
"We will need the Ferrum kyrium if we are going into a calamity keep with a bestia kyrium don't you think?
Rand glance at the two instructors whose eyes are wide in thier sockets.
And then his gaze fall in my direction and everyone looks at me like I am there standing naked
