Chapter 22: New identity

With the rest of the academy, Ama'Lane watched the arenas as the freshmen fought, according to his and Shego'Lo's estimates, only seventy percent of those present would pass the test was that a lot?

No, this was the figure that the academy was striving for, if there was more, it would also be good, but the selection experience of previous years showed that plus or minus seventy percent would cope with the tests.

Ama'lane occasionally glanced at Aluric, wondering how he would cope with the trials, especially the second one. He couldn't help him without drawing the attention of Ama'layn, he could only hope that the goddess Ges was watching over him.

- There are a lot of talented magicians this year, especially with regard to who can use more than one element, but on the wing of the swordsmen, not everything is so rosy, right Ama`Lane? - Suddenly asked the director of the academy Suga Tin, thereby pulling Ama'Layne out of his reverie.

- You are right Director this year, as usual, there are fewer and fewer swordsmen for this reason, we are combining the weak classes of magicians and swordsmen during training. - Ama'lane replied wistfully in his voice what he said was the pure truth technically the two wings should coexist but not introduce students to each other but in fact it was the other way around so that the weak classes of magicians were not eliminated even more they were combined with the half-empty classes of swordsmen.

- I was informed that we received two princes and a princess from the empire of Cray but I only see Prince Nreu and Princess Heya but I don't see Prince Alurik anywhere did he escape? - Asked Suga Tin looking around the arena, he was given a description of the appearance of all three, but he found only two.

Ama'Layne thought about how to explain to him without revealing anything that Prince Alurik was here, but he changed beyond recognition, even he did not recognize in him the prince whom he had seen yesterday.

Unconsciously, he glanced at Aluric and saw that he was descending from the arena at first Ama'lane thought he had lost but then looking at the arena he saw a dark elf sitting on his knees.

- Oh, look, this time, out of ten dark elves, we will have nine left. - Suga Tin said in surprise, looking at the arena from which Alurik descended.

- Mayfy lost? He had a very great talent for firebending, who was he fighting against? - Connected to the conversation Shego'Lo in her voice could be heard surprise.

- If I'm not mistaken, he fought with a student named Trey, if you believe the blood stone, then he has a talent for hunting magicians. - Ama`Lane said quickly coming up with a plausible story, or rather part of it.

- Mage hunter? A very rare talent, and he has no talent for magic? He seems to have something from the dark elves in his blood, where is he from Ama'lane? - Suga Tin asked in an interested voice as he looked at Aluric.

- Suga Tin, unfortunately I don't know the answer to your question, but I'll find out from him now while he is waiting for the next fight. Ama'Layne said quickly, and without waiting for an answer from them, he went to Trey.

As I waited for my fight, I caught some people looking at me, but mostly from light elves and one dark elf who didn't take his eyes off me. Is it possible that my opponent was him? He was dressed in the uniform of a magician and for me he was a problematic opponent. Two more fights passed and it was my turn. I didn't have a sword or anything that could be used as a weapon.

Entering the arena, I saw how the same dark elf was rising from the other side, who did not take his eyes off me.

- Half-breed, give up, otherwise you will be carried out of here on a stretcher, if you stay alive at all, of course. - The dark elf spoke arrogantly instead of a greeting.

I tilted my head and looked at him and concluded that he really took me for a half-elf, I did not know whether to be happy or sad.

- I'm not a half-elf, I'm a human. - I answered him in a calm voice, as my fencing teacher taught me in battle, the main thing is not only to be able and know how to fight, but also your mentality, if it is weak, you will lose even the battle in which the victory was yours.

The dark elf clicked in annoyance and began to cast a spell when he saw this I started to run towards him I was not yet used to the new body so when I was in front of the dark elf and struck he could only watch my fist approaching.

His face with one blow I did not stopped and continued the attack with the other hand I struck in the chest he tried to block the blow but hearing his bones crunch I began to think about my strength I did not want to kill him as.

It could have a negative effect on me so I rushed my hand to his neck. He did not have time to do anything as my hand squeezed his neck and pulled him down with a jerk, forcing him to kneel.

- I surrender, don't kill me. - Whispered the dark elf he lost all desire to fight and began to seriously fear for his life.

Hearing his words, releasing his neck, I touched his emblem with my hand and a crack went through it, meaning that he lost, turning his back to him and not paying attention to how other stufons were looking at me, I went down from the arena.

I understood that the test would not be limited to one battle by double-clicking on my emblem and confirming my guess, I raised an eyebrow in surprise when I saw the name of my opponent.

[Trey (Alurik) vs. Nreu

Number of wins one Number of losses zero.]

I was very surprised because I did not expect that I would fight against my brother, maybe it's fate? Without realizing, anger began to rise in the depths of me and a red color began to appear in my eyes.

Taking a deep breath, I began to think, how can I get out of this losing situation? Is it possible that the emperor specifically sent me here so that my defeat to my brother served as a small step, but he could not know for sure we would fight with him.

Raising my head, I began to look around, looking for Nreu, there were a lot of stufons around and finding him was a difficult task.

- We need to talk, stufon trey. - A voice spoke from behind me, recognizing him, I turned and saw Ama'Layne who was looking directly at me, nodding, I followed him, many stufons began to look at us and whisper with a new heightened hearing, I heard that many were whispering and from their conversations I felt a headache.

Moving to the corner of the arena, Ama'lane stopped to look at me, put his hand to his chin and began to speak quietly in order to avoid that our conversation could be heard.

- We have a problem, the director of the academy began to wonder where Prince Aluric of the Kray Empire had disappeared he knows that you were supposed to be here today but without seeing him he asked me. We can't tell him the truth about you and I hope I'm wrong but I think he's interested in you. - Throwing off a pile of news at me, Ama`Lane looked into the distance where the director and dean of the magic wing were standing, after a pause, he continued.

- But the worst thing in this whole situation is that he asked where you are from and here I am. - After delivering another bad news, Ama'Lane fell silent and stared at me intently.

After hearing all the news, I began to think how to get out of this situation that the director asked about me as Alurika, it was half the trouble, but the main problem was that he was interested in a student who looked like a half-elf.

He could also check the information about those who entered the academy yesterday and I had doubts what was there there will be a half-elf who had no talent for magic.

Does this mean that I still have to lose the fight to my brother? If I fail any test, I will not be allowed to study inside the academy and may be lost from the director's interest. But what should I do next? I will not be able to return to the empire, and I was not ready for life outside the territory of the empire.

- What are our options? - I asked Ama'Layne, not finding a way out, I need to find out what he can offer with his experience and knowledge.

- The easiest option is to admit that you are Aluric and your change is due to the fact that you are the chosen goddess. - Ama'Lane answered quickly, but seeing how my face changed, we both knew by reporting such news my life would turn from what it was now into a life deprived of any freedom, in fact, the life of a slave.

- What other options besides this and my losing the challenge? - I asked since both possibilities were the most extreme to implement.

- If I understand correctly, there is a reception about you that was given by the court magician of the empire, in the warehouse where you got a room and my deanery when you passed the talent test, right? - Asked Ama`layn not understanding what he was leading to, I could only nod after seeing my reaction, he continued.

- We can create a new personality for you not related to Alurik the documents that your magician passed on are nothing more than a recommendation, the professor who checked your talent will not say anything with the warehouse, there should also be no problems documentation about students is rarely checked and even if they check they will most likely connect that do you live in this room after the disappearance of prince Aluric or he gave you his key and disappeared when he realized that he had no talent for magic. - Finished my sentence Ama'Layne, creating a new identity was a good way out of all the problems they faced seeing that I was silent Ama'layne began to wait for me to answer while I was thinking.

Creating a new personality will help them get out of this situation, but what to do with the form? When the next fight is displayed, both of my names are listed there, could this lead in the future to those who will look for Aluric if he goes missing?

- The option is good with the new personality, but there is a problem when I touch the emblem it says two of my names can this somehow lead to me who will look for Aluric? - I asked the option I liked, but the fear that my uniform might be found.

Ama'lane looked at my emblem and thought. Changing uniforms to another wasn't a problem, as once accepted into the academy they would be given a different uniform and he could seal it under his new identity, but the uniform he was wearing now would need to be disposed of.

- If you pass the entire test, you will all be given the basic form of the academy, where instead of the emblem of talents there will be the emblem of the academy. But you still need to get rid of this form. It can lead interested people to you. - Answered my concerns Ama`Layne.

Nodding, it remained to figure out where I came from, as I understood from the words of Ama'Lane, the data he could add about me is the name, age, where he came from. I did not know very well in which countries the dark elves live most of all, so the hope is that Ama'Lane will help with a solution to this problem.

- Since you look like a dark elf, why don't we play on that? - Asked the dean surprised me.

- Apparently you don't know, but what half-breeds you remind of among the elves look like a white thorn in the eye. Communication between elves and humans is undesirable, so I suggest you choose a country where they are mostly hidden - the orc kingdom of Ku'Ja, the human empire of Jorial and the empire of Cray. - Finished providing a list of Ama'Lane which countries can be specified so as not to draw attention to me.

- Point to the empire of Jorial, if we point to the empire of Cray it could lead to the kind of attention I wanted to avoid. - After a short thought, I answered Ama'Layne, he looked at me carefully, then nodded and took out a form from the ring.

- Put your blood on the form so I can present it to Principal Suga Tin now and avoid further questions about you. - The dean said, handing me the form and the dagger, injuring my hand, seeing how a drop of blood activated the seal on the forms, I returned both things to Ama'Lane when he wanted to leave, I already remembered the sword.

- Dean or better Ama`Lane? You will not have a training sword, I will return it to you after the test. - I asked Ama`layn who was about to leave but turned to my question.

- First of all, why do you need a sword? When we're alone you can call me Ama'lane when there are other people then the dean. - Surprised asked Ama`layn looking me straight in the eyes.

- My next opponent is my brother and I think he won't hold back and as I understand the last test is monster hunting if you don't want me to kill them with my bare hands of course. - I answered Ama'Layne's question, looking him straight in the eyes, I had no hidden reasons to ask for a blade, only those that I voiced.

Ama'Layne, looking into my eyes for a couple of seconds, touched the ring and handed me the sword in the scabbard, both the sword and the scabbard were simple and well suited for the last test.

- Good luck stufon Trey, don't make me regret helping you. Ama'Layne said in a cold voice as he left.

I could only shrug my shoulders, at his last words I still did not understand why he had to help me. But I will leave this question for a later time, while it is still too early. I was still too weak.

Having finished communicating with Ama'Layne, who returned and handed something to the director, I stayed to wait for my fight.
