Chapter 8: Ch8 Academy 1
I am now standing in front of a massive gate.
"hey kid what are doing over there" a security officer from the side called out to me.
I looked at him and said "Hello, I am a first-year student"
" show me your id," with a tired tone he asked.
I quickly opened my id on my watch and showed it to him.
After scanning my id he allowed me inside the gate. This is the main part of the academy where only students and teachers are allowed. And remaining part of the city is for entertainment for outsiders and students.
Academy allows outsiders because of its tourist attractions. To maintain the Academy, a huge sum of money is needed. So they allow outsiders also to come into the city. Of course after checking their ids.
While entering the academy I can see both of my sides are covered in beautiful gardens. And then the buildings here give me an ancient vibe like that of the kingdom novels. It's because these buildings are made of dungeon stones. Which are really costly. I can't even imagine how much money, did they spent to build this whole place.
The dorms are divided into 3 categories. Where the 1st category is 1 to 50 ranked students stay in advanced facilities. Where they can have an unlimited supply of portions and private training grounds in their rooms.
Coming to the 2nd category they are 51 to 100 ranks. While they also have advanced facilities but they cannot be compared to 1st category. And they get a limited supply of portions and a small private training room.
And lastly, 3rd category they are 101 to 1000 ranks. They are all treated equally and they only get a normal room.
And a massive common training grounds where everyone can train. That's it!
But everyone gets their own personal room. It's for everyone's privacy.
After searching for a while I found my dorms. They checked my id and gave me the keys to my room. I got my room on the 3rd floor. My room no. Is 309. After reaching the room I can see My name was written on the door.
I quickly opened the door and entered the room. The room has a bedroom, a small kitchen and a bathroom. Only the basic things are given.
I quickly unpacked my bag. And took a bath.
After I went straight to the training grounds. I can see some students already practising their arts
I also didn't waste any time I took a wooden sword which they provide on the training grounds. And went to a quiet corner and started practising my art. Not the 5-start manual. I am practising basic swordsmanship. Which I found in my bag.
I don't know anything about the sword so I thought I should start up with the basics. So I started swinging my swords exactly as it said in that manual.
I know I am clumsy but I will get better.
After 4 hours of swinging the sword. I am at my limit. I put the wooden sword back into its place.
While looking around I only two or three students still swinging their swords then I looked at the clock it was already 11 pm.
I went straight to the cafeteria. Here you can get food at any hour. After going there I ordered all the free stuff. Only the top 100 can get anything they want for free remaining has to pay for the special food. I am broke! So I only ordered the free stuff.
There are only around 10 to 20 people in the cafeteria. I found a quiet place and started stuffing my food into my mouth. I repeated my order 3 times. After I feel satisfied I left the cafeteria. Though I got a weird look from the server I ignored it.
I went straight to my room.
I don't even have the strength to take a bath. So I fell on my bed.
Ring* ring* ring*
My alarm woke me up. It's 4 in the morning. I am quite lazy but I can't get my old habits to repeat again. So I quickly woke up from bed and took a bath.
I went straight to the training grounds.
Unlike yesterday the training grounds are packed with students. I found an empty space in a corner and I started my basic swordsmanship.
"yo, what's your name"
I heard a male voice from behind
When I turned around and I saw a boy with brown hair and with a well-built body Standing behind me.
"what?" I asked.
"I asked what your name was," he asked again.
Did I do something wrong? I thought to myself
"Arthur" I answered carefully.
"Hi, my name is Henry. So do you wanna spar?" with a cocky look on his face he replied.
Henry? I think just like me he is also an extra.
Why the fuck! Do you want to fight with this weak-looking boy? Huh?
"no!"
I don't want any trouble so I declined.
"why not? We can learn many things from each other" With a grin on his face he asked.
I can tell from the look on his face. He is here to show off his skills. How can he show off? By beating up a weak kid. How fucking obvious.
What a typical bully.
"I said I don't want to do it"
I said in an annoying tone.
"y-you, Kid, do you want to get bet up? Huh? Do you know want my rank?" .
Saying it out loud.
He grabbed my collar.
Can't even take a denial. What a meathead.
A few of the students started looking at us.
'what's going over there?'
'are they fighting?'
'is he bullying him?'( of course he is. )
These were the questions, everyone thinking about.
Everyone started gathering around us.
" what's going on over there" the instructor yelled at us while coming to us.
The bully released my colour
"Nothing sir! We are just talking"
With an awkward smile, He said that and left from there.
'what a coward' I thought
The instructor looked at me. Seeing that I am fine he also left.
"What a way to start my day"
