Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Introduction to the academy

[The Next Morning]

Kyle Reinhart presented evidence before the Duke and the Senate, corpses of the Zudaists were burnt away by the inferno of Crossword, the fact that the Zudaists were the first to go on a rampage and kill.

That’s all the evidence needed to justify their deaths.

And right before his siblings, right before the knight captains, before the Senators and the Elders, before the Flag bearers and members of the Reinhart Family, Kyle was honored by the Duke for his devotion.

And congratulated for the completion of his mission!

------------

[Now]

" So what you’re saying is you will be heading back to the Ruberion Dukedom right? " Kyle questioned, he is seen relaxed on his throne like chair, facing the Heir of the Ramon Duchy, Seville Ramon!

Seville let’s out a sigh, she’s sitted before Kyle!

They were both in the exotic garden, enjoying the fresh sunlight, Kyle had his eyes fixed on the book he held.

" Yes, although the third stage remains but I have to return back to my land in preparations for the Academy, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten about the academy " Seville answered, Kyle replied with a smile.

" I haven’t, I simply thought you would stay a little longer "

" And regarding the third stage, It’s been postponed, I haven’t picked someone to challenge, until I do, the Ritual remains incomplete, but it must be completed within a year so I have enough time " Kyle said.

" Is that so? hope you haven’t forgotten our deal yet? " She asked.

" Sure I haven’t, but there seems to be some changes in our agreement, you will be sending over three hundred mages to the Black Corps, I’ll fetch you your dragon stone, I’m yet to find it but will do soon "

Kyle stated.

" If you haven’t, then what gives you the courage to make such negotiations with me? do you really think I’m someone that can be messed with? " Seville questioned, and she caused the air to be disoriented.

Waves scattered across the space with a single flick of her finger.

" Oh? you are quite strong with magic huh? well it’s expected of the Heir of the Magic Dukedom, but to answer your question, yes....I do think I can mess with you, and it’s because I’m capable of what I can do "

" Send the magic troops to me and when we meet at the academy, I’ll give you your dragon stone " Kyle assured.

" Hmmm, and how certain are you? " She asked.

" A hundred percent, that’s all that is to it, do we have a deal then? " Kyle asked when he stretched forth his hand for a handshake, Seville’s eyes squinted, after a few minutes of silence.

She breathed a sigh of relief!

" We have a deal, you’re quite strange, Kyle Reinhart.....a year before you were simply an ordinary coward but to think you have changed this much, I’ll trust your words " Seville said, without shaking his hands.

She vanished into the thin air using her disappearing magic!

Kyle watched as she vanished from the scene, and a smile appeared on his lips, approaching footsteps was heard behind him, Kyle’s expression darkened when he sensed an unfamiliar presence!

" Why are you here? Eldest brother " He questioned!

A sound of giggle was heard when he walked into the scene, the first young master of the Reinhart Family, he quickly took his seat, with his full gaze fixed on him little brother, he grinned.

" Hmph, has anyone told you that you are full of suprises? " The first young master asked!

" Yeah sure, a few who are yet to accept the fact that I’ve changed, I’m no longer the Kyle Reinhart whom you all knew are the defect of the Reinhart Family, I’m a different being entirely " Kyle answered.

" I’m aware of that, that’s what amazes me "

" I can see you are getting well with your betrothed right? you were hated by both Carlian and Sidra Reinhart who were your agemates because father chose you to be the betrothed of Seville Ramon "

" Many were envious of you because you will be getting married to a pretty mage of her level but I’m curious, do you like her? " The first young master asked!

" No, I have no attachment to anyone as of now, She’s merely a means to me, but what are you doing here? first young master, did you come see me to talk about my betrothed? " Kyle questioned.

His expression darkened and his eyes squinted!

" Hmmm, those cold eyes of yours, well that’s not why I came here to see you, I was merely curious about you " The first young master answered!

" Curious about me? what are you curious about? " Kyle asked.

" Your demonic energies and your skill " the first young master answered!

Expecting Kyle to react to his words but Kyle remained calm, he showed no signs of being agitated, relaxing his back on his seat.

" You aren’t going to attack me? " The first young master asked.

" No, why would I? I knew you were aware of my skill, even father was, after all, a fellow skill user can detect the usage of a skill, you and father are both skill users, so it’s understandable if you were aware of it "

" But what I’m curious about is how you came to find out about my other secret, how did you know that I possess demonic energy? " Kyle asked, he knows it’s pointless to fight, even though he’s strong.

Against someone on the level of the first young master, He’s still weak!

Despite sitting so carefree, the first young master showed no openings, after all, he recently transcended the level of a sword master, reaching the level of a sword king, He’s one of the strongest Reinharts.

" Starting from the battle royale when you released it, your eyes were that of a demon, although it’s faint but I can still feel the traces of demonic energies wrapped around you, It’s a special ability of mine "

" I’m the perfect counter against supernatural powers such as Divine Energies and Demonic Energies " The first young master explained!

" Is that so? then it’s understandable, the fact that you know I’m a demonic user, why am I not dead yet? " Kyle asked.

" Well it’s because you are no demonic worshipper and you’re quite interesting, after I learnt of your demonic energies, I did a quick Investigation regarding you....but you have not a single link to Pentagram "

" You are not a demonic worshipper so i have no reason to kill you "

" But I’m curious, how did you awaken your skill? there are three ways for a mortal to awaken a skill, what method did you use? " The first young master had a look of curiousity written in his eyes!

" I used the first method..... sacrifice of ten thousand souls, that was the easiest method since I’m going to war against the Ravarns, those normads were the best sacrificial materials " Kyle answered.

His words made the first young master giggle!

" You sure are a strange kid but you have satisfied my curiousity, I was informed that you and your siblings will be heading to the Shelton Royal Academy as first years right? do you know what the academy is? " The first young master asked.

" Yes, I did a little bit of research regarding the academy, although it was created by the royal family of the Vahallan Empire but it was a means serving as a peace treaty to all nations of the continent "

" It’s an academy attended by all the four Empires including Vahalla and the Szerch Republic, powerhouses of every angles of the continent will be enrolled into the Academy alongside the players of the ritual "

Kyle explained.

" Good, you really did your homework huh? the four Empires, Vahalla, Imperium, Valgaria and Citrus, they recently formed an alliance together and do you know why that is? " The first young master asked.

" If the four great Empires were to form an alliance together, it means only one thing "

" A war is about to break out " Kyle answered.

" Correct, and our enemies are the dark continent, right now....It’s only a rumor but the Szerch Republic are currently aligned with the dark continent, since the Szerch Republic are also participants of the Shelton Royal Academy "

" You should be careful " The first young master warned.

" Is that so? then if I may ask.....what is the dark continent? " Kyle questioned!

" The Dark Continet is as it’s called, It’s a continent on its own but all inhabitants of the continent are demonic worshippers, the United Demonic Empire.... that’s what they are officially known as but we referred to them as the dark continent "

" Even though you’re a demonic user.....if you come across an entity from the dark continent, purge them "

" Their goal is to plunge this world into darkness, this is the reason why demonic worshippers are enemies of the Empires " The first young master explained, Kyle listened silently, a smirk appeared on his lips.

" Big brother, may I ask another question? "

" What if in the process, I become a demonic worshipper? " Kyle questioned!

" Hmmm, that’s a good question....if in the process you become a demonic worshipper, I’ll have no other option than to purge you from this world, even though you are my direct blood brother since we are from the same mother "

" I have shown you mercy once...It will never repeat itself "
