We start the lesson with professor Azim, he is an expert in herbalism and a good alchemist. Wears a tank top and beneath that a purple shirt with a long-sleeved shirt. He has long brown hair and a long brown beard.
The classroom can hold 50 children per class. All the desks are positioned in a circle way and the teacher stands in the middle of the class. He uses he's Qi in a stone that helps him create figures. That helps a lot to show us how the herbs look like and to see the parts we should collect of some ingredients.
— " Alright, class, today I'll teach you about herbs that will be on the test tomorrow. For those who're questioning, the mission will be to collect herbs for the Alchemist Guild", said Azim while projecting the first herb.
— " This herb is called Kranix. Kissa, do you know why we use this herb?"
— " Sim professor", said Kissa while she stood up, " Because it has healing properties."
— " Good answer, and Yamada, what part of Kranix herb is used?"
— " The flower needed to be green before they turn in red.", said Yamada, with his feet and his desk.
— " Perfect, and now you, Jamros, why does it need to be green and not red?"
— " M-me? Well... bec..." Before I could finish, my brother interrupted me, thank god.
— " When the flower is green, the healing properties are more efficient. But when it turns red, the flower loses all healing properties and starts to produce a pollen that causes constant dizziness and sneezing when inhaled." Said Daylen.
— " Perfect. All of you need to understand how this herb works, it will be on the test tomorrow. Any questions?"
No one raised their hands, so the professor kept explaining about other herbs, plants, and flowers we should know because of the test and mission.
After the class, I went to the dormitory and slammed my head on the pillow. ' I'll have to spend my whole night studying for the test tomorrow. I need to memorize everything. I'm screwed... Well, I'll sleep by now, wake up in the dinner and study the whole night.'
I woke up and went to the cafeteria, picked my food, and went to the table with the group.
Yamada asked why I went missing, than I explained to him my plan about studying the whole night. He's intelligent so the test should be easy for him, well... for everyone but not me.
— " If you need help, just ask brother, I'll lend you a hand", said Daylen, trying to help me.
— " Thank you, brother, but I can do this on my own." If Daylen helps me, it will be easier to understand, but he'll be tired tomorrow for the test.
We finished our dinner, and they made plans about visiting a night fair. Wish I could go, but I need to focus now.
Started studying the time passed. Azim had seen me studying in the study room, where I was. He dissed to gave me an energy drink he had made to help me. It kept me awake, but the taste, by the heavens the taste... Terrible. I can't tell you exactly what it's the worst part is, the taste of sour, with spicy, and salty or the texture of sand.
After hours, I decided that it was time to sleep; I needed some rest. The test tomorrow will be just like today. The ones who win the first combat will be able to do the, for the winner, he or she will be in mission without the test results.
The morning comes, and the day has come. I was a little tired, but after a shower and a good breakfast, I was ready.
Professor Azim comes with the schedule of the event. My first opponent will be Kira. She is ten years old like me but she's in the 1º level of Qi Collection. She likes to use a spear and likes to keep her distance in a defense battle, just like Daylen.
She is blond with long hair and green eyes, and she is wearing white pants with a red shirt. She is really nice to talk to and really smart, but you can tell that fighting is not for her.
The professor called us to the center and made the call. It's begins.
We started, and just like I suspected, she didn't move. Just raise her guards and wait for me. I moved first. I ran in her direction at full speed. She waited until I got in range, and then she swept her spear. I managed to squat from her attack. Taking advantage of being squat, I jumped in her direction to shorten the duel.
She raised her guard once again, but she wasn't ready for my fast approach. I started to attack her with fast swings. I'm surprised at how long she managed to dodge my attacks.
I needed to wait for the perfect timing, and because of the pressure I was putting on her, it appeared fast. I managed to strike her spear with the two daggers. It made her lose the guard. With that, I jumped by her side, exposing her flanks. Without wasting time, I hit her in the rib, gently, of course, and won the first duel.
— " Good fight, Kira! I didn't know you could block so many close attacks."
— " T-thank you... I wasn't ready for a close combat so fast. Y-you got me..."
— " Hehe, sorry for that."
— " No problem, hehe. Good luck in the next fight."
I nodded with the head and gave her a smile, — " Thank you."
Azim called us at the center again, — " Kira, unfortunately you lost, so you are out. Jamros, you win the first round. Your next opponent will be Kayle."
Kayle is strong and fast, and just like me, likes to use speed and pressure. I managed to win some times when had dueled, but normally he gets the victory.
After a short break, I was called again to go to the arena.
— " Hey Jamros, today I'll go with everything. I need to defeat Yamada."
— " Stop worrying about Yamada. You should be worrying about me! I'll win this duel and this competition."
— " Haha, sorry for that. You are right. I'll defeat you first, and then I'll kick Yamada ass."
Azim calls us at the center, — " Fight."
