Chapter 36: 1

"Huh! Where are you going?" Gideon asked Azzy after the lunch break as he went downstairs instead of going towards their classroom.

"I have somewhere I need to be. I'm done for today." Azzy answered him vaguely before leaving his sight.

It made him wonder whether this new friend is trying to skip the class on the very second day. If so, then, what reason? Bored? Not interested? Or was threatened?

The behavior of their senior towards Azzy made Gideon suspect all kinds of conspiracy theories. In the end, he shrugged his shoulders and went back to the classroom.

Azzy exited the building and started walking towards the Administration building that was connected to a straight road from the school gate. It was also the place where Azzy attended orientation.

As he already came here, a day before, without any guide, Azzy reached the Principal's office.

He knocked on the door.

"Come in.

Azzy entered the room and saw the old man was reading some sort of file. He was wearing reading glasses. There are a lot of files on the desks.

'A peak-rank-7 needs glasses to read it? I can understand Gideon using glasses as he was born with an eye problem but what about this guy.' Azzy kept his opinion to himself.

Azzy greeted him with a bow and cupped his fists, "Disciple greets the Master."

"You really follow the old ways, didn't you…" He commented with a smile as he closed the file and took off the glasses. "Take a seat."

As Azzy take the opposite seat, Barton spoke, "Actually, Uphiar's lessons would be very useful to you but the other teachers are going to unhappy if I allow you to attend only his class."

Azzy nodded in understanding.

Barton then handed a card to him. It looked similar to the one Leonard used to open the gate, earlier day. "Take this. You can have access not only to all the facilities in the school except for this room but it also can be used as a credit card. This is a no-limit card. You can use a hundred thousand credits as you wish but anything more than that, I will need an explanation."

'Hundred thousand? That's not much…' Azzy thought as he took the card. But then, again, he was grateful for his assistance as he doesn't wish to depend on Oakley and his family too much. "Thank you, Master."

Even though they are considered his family, one is being his grandpa who raised him and the other is being his master, Azzy felt that he has connections with their future version. The present ones have nothing but kind strangers who gave him a place to live in.

After taking the access and credit card, Azzy left for training grounds-1, following the Principal's orders.

Entering the training grounds, he roamed around. The previous day, he didn't get that luxury. Now that he's free, Azzy takes a look at each habitat.

There's an artificial lake with little islands on the. There's a mini forest but with no animals. The occasional chirping of birds can be heard from time to time. Azzy then saw land with rocky structures, then, grasslands, there's a minefield with danger signs on the border. Azzy didn't go in there and looked for other habitats.

There's even a football field and baseball field here. He wondered whether the students will also play soccer and baseball…

He then entered the indoors. There's a fitness room with gym equipment. Like soccer and baseball, there are also courts for indoor sports like Basketball court, table tennis court, etc…

As for the training rooms, there are various types but the one Azzy likes the most is the gravity room. Even though the maximum gravity is only thrice that of the original, still, Azzy was impressed.

For a school with mediocre standards, he felt their training facility is indeed good. Maybe, this is the reason, the Princess offered him to attend. This might even be the best school in the country, regarding the training facilities.

Two hours later, in one of the training rooms, Barton and Azzy stood beside each other.

In front of them, there are three robotic machines…

Barton started to explain. "I bet I have already mentioned about your lack of control."

Azzy nodded.

"We'll focus on that." He then took out a small remote and pressed a button. Two robots moved aside and stood against the wall. "But, first, I need to see your full strength. Summon your Arcana."

Azzy heard the same words from his Master that Uphiar spouted in the previous day. The result turned out to be disastrous.

As Azzy glanced at the robot, he didn't sense its strength. Not because it was stronger but he sensed neither Arcana nor even soul power at all.

For a 12-year-old kid who didn't have that much knowledge regarding science and technology, it was too difficult to understand. In his eyes, it was just an ordinary machine built with a metal body.

'Am I going to train with this lump of metal?' Azzy wondered as he looked at the robot. He felt that it will be destroyed too quickly.

"Don't underestimate it. Even though this is just a basic version of the actual thing, this is equivalent to a peak rank-6 Arcana Master. The other two are rank-7 and mid-rank 6 respectively. All of them also have precise control and can adjust their strength based on the situation or the enemy.

The government gifted us these because of our performance in the world league."

"Oh!" Azzy became intrigued upon hearing that.

"I sense a great nuclear energy inside this robot." The Reaper's voice resounded in his head once again.

'Nuclear energy? What is it?' Azzy wondered.

The Reaper who grasped his thoughts explained, "It is energy extracted from the core of an atoms. It is a fundamental particle that presents everywhere in nature. Even your body contains hundred trillion cells filled with atoms.

However, humans who attempted to…"

Listening to his explanation, Azzy thought the Reaper became talkative these days.

"Not that I enjoy it. Hmpf…" The Reaper's voice made him shut his thoughts…

As Barton moved back, Azzy summons Vajra. He still didn't summon his Arcana weapons, intending to keep them as a secret.

"Grrr…" A black wolf with black lightning sparks over its body appeared beside Azzy. It immediately bared its teeth towards this strange metal, treating it as a threat. At least, that was its intuition.

"Ready." Azzy heard Principal's voice and the robot's eyes glowed into the blue. It spoke in machine voice, "Sparring mode, on."

"Vajra, attack…"

It ran towards the machine like a flash, intending to eliminate this threat. Barton was surprised, watching the wolf's speed. "It isn't just a platinum grade beast. It is top-notch in terms of speed but…"

"What!" Azzy was shocked to see that the wolf's neck was caught by the robot and was raised high before it threw towards him.

Azzy dodged at the last second and the wolf crashed onto the wall.
