A couple of months gone by, The academy is bustling just as every day with Arena battles, academy missions etc...
In the first year, A blonde-haired guy with a strange accent while wearing an unfamiliar dressing style but nevertheless, anyone can see that the clothes he wore were pretty expensive even to a Noble. especially those various little diamonds embroid at his chest. One look at him, you can say he's neither from the city nor he was the from the central continent at all.
he is the second prince of the kingdom of Zescyae which are in-laws with the Emperor's father, the previous emperor. So, you can say he is also the nephew of the current Emperor as his father is the cousin of Emperor.
well, a person like this, who is from a royal family as even had the ties with the Emperor shouldn't he be surrounded by all commoners daily? but why does he hardly have any presence?. aside from four students, no one talks or train with him and mostly avoid him.
It's because, on the very first day, He argued and almost fought with one of the instructors. except that this instructor is very vengeful despite having a common background. Everyone in the academy knows he doesn't care about backgrounds. He didn't punish the boy but scold and punished everyone who associates with him. that's when the prince understood having a noble background doesn't help here but too bad that he met a vengeful man.
even after two months, the instructor didn't stop and because he's a just first-year student i.e an amateur beginner swordsman, no one from the higher authorities cared much about him as Heavenly academy don't care about backgrounds.
he is also one of the reasons why not many students continued with the swordsmanship. while he is sitting alone and eating a sandwich depressingly, a fatty put a hand around his neck "don't worry about it, bro. One month later, after the Autumn festival, all the first-year students will be divided based on the profession they chose. you can just choose another profession like Archery, or Knight or Assassin no, they aren't good. how about a production class like Blacksmith or Alchemy thy are highly popular".
He shook his head "No way, just for the sake of escaping his mere grudge, I won't change my professions". the fatty friend "Nah, didn't you know Second years can change their professions on the first day of the school. didn't you hear many students changed their professions this time? Most of them move to the department of the sword".
just then, some of the girls in the cafeteria screamed "kyaaa... Mr Skyrun is here" while a person entered, many fangirls and some of the fanboys flocked around Olirevus like sheep. while this was going on the first floor, An icy cold beauty who was standing with her friends while drinking cola gritted her teeth and mumbled "why this scene is very familiar" then, she remembers the scene the first time she met him.
The girl beside him "what?". Draysa pointed her chin towards the entrance. the other girl replied "Ah! you don't come to here very often so you might find it a bit weird. but, for us, it's a common thing. Now, I'm already immune to this after witnessing it for two months". The last one put her head on her hands and tilted it towards him "Aw, but still, it's refreshing to see my Prince Charming once in a while".
Draysa looked at Ollie again who was courteously smiling at everyone "Cheh, hateful guy". but still, she can't help but keep staring at him. Ollie who felt something suddenly turned his head and looked at the first floor. Draysa suddenly sit down and hid.
The two girls asked, "hmm, what happened?". Draysa just looking at her shoes "Nothing, I thought something hit my foot". One girl who was smiling mischievously at her "Draysa, you like Mr Skyrun right". she suddenly sprang up "What! no way. Why would I, Draysa ravendew like that country bumpkin". another girl then said in astonishment "Draysa, did you just". the last girl continued "she did express frustration on her face didn't she". Draysa suddenly became silent and went back to the usual blank face. "is it? you probably saw it wrong". "hmm, maybe".
The girl who asked the question then diverted the situation as it turned to become a bit awkward "ok, uh say how about the preparations going for the upcoming Autumn festival?". the two girls replied at the same time "we're not participating this time". "how about you Draysa?. last year you were the runner up of the shooting competition and also the winner of other competitions".
Draysa instantly became depressed upon hearing that as the winner of that one is Ms Rivesun. even though she was chatting, she keeps looking at the flock of sheep which doesn't seem to disperse at any time. Only two people realised it though.
One is her best friend Diawia and the other is a self-proclaimed rival of hers who is way more popular and stronger than her Ms Crialle Riversun who was just passing by and stopped when she heard her friend asking Draysa about Ollie.
She made her way to the group "Hello Draysa and everyone". instantly it started a commotion "wow, It's Ms Riversun". Draysa looked at her coldly "Crialle. what are you doing here". She smiled "Ah! I was just passing by and saw you after hearing something about Autumn festival. So, I thought I would drop by and say hi".
Draysa just replied, "since you already have done that, you can leave now". Crialle didn't get angry with her reply and just smiled and said in almost a whisper "say, did you hear that I broke through peak level in the summer and now I'm a final year student?. I wonder how many years would you take".
Draysa snorted "hmpf, it's ok. I have all the time. you just didn't have it. I guess you were very eager to graduate and marry your lovely prince. Oh, and also it doesn't matter If I lack strength, I can slowly catch up. but there are some other things that I'm extremely talented that you don't have any hope for catching up to me in your lifetime".
Crialle's face got black with anger and spoke a bit loudly enough for everyone around them to hear "I will see how much longer you dare to continue to be arrogant. just wait until Autumn festival, this time I'm going to prove that I'm better than you in every aspect".
well, for everyone, it's known that the crown prince of the empire is a Genius Knight who stepped into Master level at 24 and now, at the age of 28, he's a peak level Magic Knight who has the chance to become a Grandmaster before 30. but not many people know that he's a selfish, arrogant and sadistic jerk who tortures his soldiers.
that's why Ms Riversun who was engaged to him when Ravendew family rejected the Emperor's proposal when Draysa was 7 with the excuse of an age gap is too large. So, Crialle who was 9 at that time was engaged to him who was at 17 and was already an intermediate Magic Knight.
from that time, Crialle turned from being a best friend to an enemy because it's because of her, she was pushed into the fiery pit.
