Chapter 18: Chapter 17 – Emperor

"Hey Julian can we talk for a bit?" Andrew said as he stood in front of Julian blocking the sunlight from hitting his body.

"Yeah sure but before you say anything get off my face you are blocking the sun.sippp" Julian said as he waived his hand and took a sip of his soda.

"Haah okay" the latter said as he moved a bit before sitting down of the grass.

"Count Alfred asked me to be his disciple"

"Pfttttt, cough cough cough" Julian spit out the soda in his mouth before Andrew could even finish what he was saying.

"Sorry you were saying" Julian apologized and looked at Andrew.

"As I was saying, the count asked if I wanted to be his disciple, so I wanted to ask you what I should do? Do I accept his offer or do I reject it?"

"Wait you are saying that a transcendent sword master asked you to be his disciple, and you didn't accept right away?oye are you an idiot?"

"That was uncalled for, and all I said to the count was that I needed some time to consider his offer."

"Hah, whatever, so why did he ask for you to be his disciple, I'm sure he must have seen something in you right?"

"Well he said that I had an s-grade mana absorption affinity, and I also he said something about me having something called'eye of martial arts', so I wanted to ask you if I should accept the offer"

"Pfttttt" once again Julian spit out the soda in his mouth "did you just say you have the eye of martial arts?"

"Yep" Andrew said as he nodded, "but, what is this eye of martial arts that you are so surprised about"

"Hooo, well my friend the eye of martial arts is a rare gift that only a select few individuals in each generation have, that allows them to see the flow of martial arts, and understand martial arts to a certain degree only by seeing them once. It is a great gift for anyone who wishes to traverse the path of martial arts. And you have it my friend, if that is the case then I would suggest you immediately take the offer that the count has presented to you for there are many who would go to any extent to gain your eye's."

"Well if you say, so then I will contact the count and tell him that I agree with becoming his disciple, but Julian are you okay with this dude, depending on the situation I may have to leave the academy with the count."

"If that is the case then it is even better, I feel like things in the empire will soon become nasty, and you staying with the count will at least guarantee your safety."

"JULIAN FORESTER COME HERE" Andra's voice came out all of a sudden in the middle of their conversion.

"We will talk later, you should go to the count and tell him that you agree to being his disciple." Julian whispered to Andrew as he got up and shouted "YES MA'AM".

"Okay" Andrew replied in a soft voice as he too got up and started walking towards the principal's office.

******

Inside Andra's staff room Julian was standing in front of Andra who sat on her desk with her chin on top of her palm.

"How did you know?" Andra asked with a stern face.

"How did I know what?" Julian chided with a smile on his face.

"About the drivers"

"What about the drivers?"

"They were demons"

"WHAT ????????? How do you expect me to know that, I just thought they were some assassins who infiltrated to kill one of the noble children" Julian replied ever so sarcastically annoying Andra quite a bit.

"Hmmmmmm, well whatever, leave for now, ooh ill tell you this right now since an announcement will be made soon anyway, but you students will be forced to move into the dorms for the next 5 years you stay here. I assume you can tell why we are asking you to do such things."

"Yes mam"

"Good now leave."

*Slide shut*

"Puffff" Andra took a breath from her cigarette " that kid he definitely knows something, that he isn't telling us… well we will be spending the next 5 years together, so I don't assume he will be able to hide it forever"

********

*knock knock knock*

"Who is it?"

"Sir it's me Andrew, I came here to inform the count of my decision"

"Oh come in then"

"So Andrew what have you decided to do? Will you be accepting my offer to become my disciple?"

"Yes sir I talked to my friend about it, and he told me that accepting your offer right now would be the best thing for me to do."

"Great then we can leave right now."

"Wait what right now? I don't even have my clothes or anything."

"Don't worry about that child, the owner of the orphanage is an old friend of mine I will ask him to send your belongings directly yo the cont's estate back at the capital." Micheal said, reassuring Andrew.

"Well if that is settled, then I believe it is okay for us to leave." the count said as he looked at Andrew

"Well yeah, sure I have already told my friend I may have to leave soon so leaving now shouldn't be an issue."

"Hmm okay then, oh right before we go back to my estate, we will have to take a trip to the imperial palace I have something's I must report to his majesty in person"

"Huh what…" before Andrew could finish his sentence Alfred held Andrew by the shoulder and jumped out of the window, as he started to jump from roof top to roof top, moving towards the teleportation portal.

"The guys should have at least given me a heads-up if that was how he intended to leave. Haaaaaah".

********

Fifteen minutes before Andrew visited the count and the principal.

"So you are saying that the demons intend to declare war on the orc's and if we interfere they will begin attacking us" the voice of a man came from a hologram that was before Alfred and Micheal.

"What do you propose we do here count falkirk, I assume the two of you have thought of something before you contacted me." the man who sat on a chair with lions carved on its handles looked at Alfred with an urging look

"In my humble opinion your highness, we should listen to what the demon king has said partially and maintain neutrality during the entirety of the war between the orcs and the demons, while building up our own forces and forming alliances with the other races in the likely scenario that the demon king shifts his eyes towards us, we can fight him off. There are a few more things to consider, but your highness I believe that this may be the best course of action for us."

"Hmmm and what about you duke Micheal? Do you endorse this idea as well?"

"Yes your highness, while I have some issues with the strategy, I too feel that this may be our best strategy, as our current forces are nowhere near strong enough to beat the army that the demons have."

"Okay then, Micheal visit me in a week, I have important things to talk with you, and Alfred come to the imperial hall as soon as possible we need to prepare for the upcoming war. While you arrive I will organize a meeting with the nobles and ministers to devise a proper plan. Till the next time we meet I wish you well my friends."

"YES SIR" Alfred and Micheal shouted, upon which the call ended.
