Chapter 12: A Familiar Feeling

Darell narrowed his eyes and read the name of the unique existence whose powers were not properly interpreted.

' Vampires '

He noticed that the analysis and interpretation of its powers and skills were relatively empty unlike the other legendary warriors or the legendary beasts that were written in the other records.

He read that this existence was a mythical race as no one has seen this race. He was not a fool because there had been some people who had seen this race but didn't live to tell about it. 

The more he thought about it, the more he grew intrigued to search for this race if there were any present.

He knew he had zero chance of finding a clue to one of the individuals of this race but he didn't give up.

He breathed in excitement to be the first person to meet one of the individuals of this race.

But, he didn't realize that this excitement wasn't from him being the first person to meet vampires but he had an innate drive to search for them.

When he looked up from the books he glanced at the clock and saw it was afternoon already.

He closed the books and put them in their place.

As he was keeping the last book in its place, another hand touched his.

He looked at the person and was surprised.

The person was none other than the silver-haired girl they saw in the dining hall.

The girl frowned when she saw him.

Before he could open his mouth to speak, she grabbed the book from his hand and walked away.

' Too rude.'

Darell thought and walked out of the library.

He was walking towards the arena where combat classes were going to be held. But, his expression turned into annoyance when he saw Abel and his group coming toward him from the opposite direction.

He knew Abel would try to humiliate and beat him.

He glanced around and smiled wickedly.

Abel saw Darell in front of him and smiled wickedly. He whispered something to his subordinate. He nodded and ran towards him while raising his fist to attack him.

Darell didn't bother defending against the attack and simply shouted.

"Good afternoon, Instructor Lin."

Abel and his group instantly paled and the subordinate running towards Darell abruptly stopped while preventing himself from falling.

They turned around to see Instructor Lin coming toward them.

Lin saw Darell and greeted him and said

"You are going to the arena, right? Come with me, then."

Darell smirked at Abel who gritted his teeth in rage.

Darell followed Lin to the arena.

He was tackled by Emma as he entered the arena. Emma hugged him so tight that Darell was struggling to breathe even though his strength was above hers.

After a few seconds which felt like hours to Darell, Emma released him and said "I missed you so much."

She kissed him on the cheek and hugged his arm. Darell noticed all the boys looking at him with envy and jealousy.

He walked toward the rest of his friends and they chatted for a bit till the class began.

Lin stepped onto the platform in the arena

and spoke in a calm and domineering tone.

" Good afternoon, everybody. I am Instructor Lin. I am going to hold combat classes for all of you. If you fail to meet my expectations you have to participate in a life and death duel with me."

All of the students had their jaws drop to the ground. Most of them shouted in protest. 

Lin sneered at the students and lifted his palm to create a mountain-sized fireball.

All of the students closed their mouths and shivered in fear.

Lin looked at them in disdain and said " If any one of you objects to my orders, feel free to get a taste of this fireball."

After no one spoke for a few minutes, he continued.

"I will not have pathetic and weak-willed students. Our kingdom doesn't need weak soldiers."

All of them nodded their heads.

Lin began explaining to them the rules and regulations.

He then brought them to a hall in front of the arena.

It was the weapons hall where students can buy weapons for academy points which they can obtain by completing quests from the academy or by achieving top ranks in the events and tournaments.

Lin said "All of you will be given a rank 01 weapon of your choice for free. If you want higher-ranked weapons then you have to accumulate academy points."

The students were excited to obtain a rank 01 weapon for free. Many of them had a single thought in mind, which was money.

A rank 01 weapon would be sold for at least 500 good coins. The Academy was giving out hundreds of rank 01 weapons for free which showed their wealth.

Lin knew what they were thinking but he didn't care about it. 

Lilith took a rank 01 Ice Sword, Emma took a rank 01 Light Dagger, Eric took rank 01 Earth Gauntlets, Ariel took a rank 01 Sound Chakra, and Darell took a basic sword. 

They were then brought to the arena.

Lin said" We have prepared separate training halls for all of you. You can either train alone or together with your friends.

The process doesn't matter, what matters is that all level 01 students must reach level 05 at the end of the month. If you fail, you know the consequences."

The students shivered in fear and silently nodded their heads.

He glanced over at Darell and his friends and said "All level 05 students must reach level 20 in three months. You trained while others enjoyed their time. So, you have to continue that habit and reach the target."

Darell and the others nodded their heads.

They decided to enter the training hall together.

When they entered the training hall, they thought they were in another world but they saw that this was a rank 06 Illusion spell.

They were greeted by a humanoid figure who brought them to a dungeon.

Darell and the others were excited to enter a dungeon even though it was an illusion.

They saw that the dungeon they were entering was called 'Abyss of The Scorched Ravens.'

The dungeon had 25 floors in total.

They entered the first floor of the dungeon. Instantly, they heard loud sounds coming from above. They looked above and saw 20 Scorched Ravens flying toward them.

They readied themselves for the battle.

While Darell was waiting for the Ravens to come down, he heard a sound.

[Quest - Kill 5 rank 01 Scorched Ravens]

[Reward - 50 XP]

'Perfect'
