The Rise Of The Seeker
Back to Academy's

After spending a week with Yugar, Alzent returned to the Academy. But from that night, Yuna never showed herself, as if she had disappeared from the world.

Alzent felt a little disappointed not being able to say goodbye to her, but somehow something inside of him said that they would meet soon.

The large gate formed from a statue shaped a pair of knights kneeling while clasping his sword to the ground. Alzent had long enough to stand before the gates of the Academy, taking a deep breath preparing to go about his day as a disciple, after all there was another year left for him to graduate and enter the training against the real monsters, after all, although in fact he had faced the original monster when he was a child.

"Hey boss see, the loser has returned with a very good sword" whispered one of the few disciples in front of a Tavern (drink shop).

A disciple who had thorny red hair as well as a burly body looked at Alzent, smiled broadly and stepped closer to him "Yo Alzent"

"Hahh, come also the culprit" complained Alzent, stop stepping "Hi Gerald, what's the matter with me?" ask her while smiling kindly.

"Certainly to see my friend, we're friends aren't we?" Gerald laughed out loud, embracing Alzent's shoulder "I see you're carrying a very attractive sword"

Alzent let go of the disciple's embrace, went back on foot "Sorry, but I'm busy. Please don't bother me" he asked.

Gerald's friendly smile disappeared, he ran and kicked Alzent hard enough "Don't act like it just because you haven't seen me for a week!"

He wiped his mouth, cleaned his body after being thrown far enough "What does my relationship go with my nature? I just don't want to be bothered for now, next time"

Gerald felt himself to have been humiliated by a weak figure like Alzent, then let out an orange mana "You're going to pay for this Alzent! Firebolt!" a huge fireball formed from his palm and shot out rapidly.

Because his mood was bad, Alzent used a little of the ability he had been honing through Yugar's hard training. He jumped backwards avoiding the fireball, as well as slashing it in half "I told you, I don't want to be disturbed" he said slightly threateningly.

A crowd of disciples began to be created, many were surprised to see Alzent's unusual ability, especially without using anything.

Gerald felt his pride was at stake here, so he took out a few more fireballs that were mercilessly launched to injure Alzent, but far more amazing than ever, Alzent slashed all those fireballs, in the blink of an eye already before Gerald with the sharp side of the sword ready to slice his neck "I told you, I don't want to be disturbed. Is it that hard not to miss me?"

Gerald was unable to retaliate, however, he fell silent on the spot looking at a gaze so sharp as if it did not belong to a human and fell on the ground staring at the shoulders of Alzent who was getting further and further away from the crowd that opened the way for him. Nobody thought that Alzent had been hiding his ability which was only 1% out.

The news of Alzent humiliating Gerald has spread rapidly throughout the Academy, even to the ears of the teachers who always look at Alzent one eye, never thought of it though so planned something bad for Alzent to not be able to thrive in the Academy.

As soon as he reached the room in the dormitory, Alzent immediately lay on the bed, trying to calm himself down "I mustn't get out of control" Alzent reminded himself.

Alzent recalled his training 3 days ago when he faced Yugar's uncle, he had lost control of his emotions. His strength had indeed increased drastically, but the humanitarian side of Alzent disappeared, he looked to be a different figure with one of his blood-red pupils. Fortunately Yugar managed to make Alzent faint, since then Yugar asked Alzent to control his emotions or there will be many casualties.

"What really happened to me?" alzent asked, looking at his left palm, he gasped in shock as soon as he saw a reddish glow flowing in each of his veins "What the fuck?" he rushed to find a mirror "Huh!?" the color of his left eye turned blood red and every vein around him also turned reddish orange.

Alzent put the mirror back, sat on the edge of the mattress, calmed down "OK, calm Alzent. All of this must have an explanation, I just have to calm down" take a deep breath, exhale it.

"That voice.." Alzent quickly opened the door but did not take off the chain, hiding the left part of his body behind the door "Ohh Lisa, what's wrong?"

A beautiful girl with blond hair and ocean-blue eyes stood at the door, folded her arms behind her, slightly pouting to see Alzent not opening her chain "Why don't you open it? I have something to talk to you about"

"Haha, could you later? There's something I have to do now" Alzent replied, trying his best to put on a friendly smile.

"What are you hiding from me?" lisa asked suspiciously.

"T-there's none. It's a long time ago well, it's really important" Alzent closed the door, locked it without caring about Lisa's words and went back to lying on the bed "What do I do to cover this?"

"Alzenti! You can lock-in

" lisa! I already said not to use your teleportation magic in my room" Alzent snapped.

"Pardon me. Wh-what happened to you?" ask Lisa to worry.

Alzent let out a long sigh, explaining that he also did not know what was going on, but it might have something to do with him being able to defeat Gerald so easily.

"You have to hide this or the teachers will force you into research. The worst case scenario is that you might be killed if it is considered dangerous, let alone you being known as a useless student" Lisa explained loudly.

"Thank you for reminding me" Alzent replied, rising to his feet, looking at his left arm. As soon as a black fireball appeared, it was cold, but very hot for Lisa "I can use magic?"

"Alzent, it's a miracle!" sahut Lisa happy.

"So pathetic of me that you're so happy?" Alzent laughed softly "But this is not necessarily a miracle, we don't know what magic this is and it could have brought disaster. Before we know if this magic is dangerous or not, I won't use it unless I have to"

"Alzent out!"

"It looks like Gerald's brought you back into trouble"

"Coming back to your room soon Lisa, I don't want you to get in trouble because of me" Alzent immediately jumped from the window down, facing Gerald who gasped in shock "What's wrong?" tanyakanya.

Gerald pointed to Alzent "I challenge you to a duel in the arena"

A magic circle formed under the two of them and word of the duel instantly spread throughout the entire school. In other words, Gerald challenged Alzent to a duel to the death, a duel that was dangerous and would of course be witnessed by everyone including the teachers.

The few teachers who heard this news, smiled widely knowing their plan to destroy Alzent was getting easier.
