Chapter 5: cruel reality

"After a few seconds of seeing the runes on the pillars I decided to get on the platform, behind me Caesar was following me like a duckling.

As we stand on the platform it begins to glow brighter and brighter, after a moment my vision became blurry.

shiiiiin

argh that damn sound is bad for my head, next time I'm just going to bring earplugs or something'.

A few moments later my senses returned to normal and my surroundings changed, now beyond the platform with the pillars there were some trees, wooden benches and many new students like me.

"excuse me, could you please move? the other students can't get there if there is already someone stepping onto the platform from this side".

the one who spoke to us was a short, pink-skinned girl with light brown hair and a fringe that covered her eyes.

"oh right" 'is she here to check when the new students arrive? although she also has the same student uniform'.

"s-sorry..."

We both get out of the platform and it starts to glow again, which seems to be the indicator of its use.

"hey by the way, now that we got here there should be a director's speech right? do you know where it is?" i decide to ask the girl since i honestly didn't know what to do from here

"oh, yeah! uhm.. the principal's speech will be given in an hour, that's to give time for the rest of the students to arrive so you can walk around the square until then, just remember that the speech will be in an hour at the academy gates"

"..."

"this... Do you need anything else?"

"...just out of curiosity are you a sophomore?"

"yep, my name is Liza Malbett from class 2B it's a pleasure!"

"my-my name is Caesar Drak-" shiiiiiin

"oops sorry, let's talk some other time."

apologizing to us Liza turns to the platform from which a group of 5 guys appeared while Caesar stood there stammering with a red face.

'haaahh this idiot... whatever' I turn to him and look him in the eyes, at which he stiffens up

"I'm going to watch the place until the time is up, you do what you want but don't follow me." I kept looking at him for a moment to make it clear that he was serious.

"...I understand..."

Honestly I am not as angry as I was days ago, however there are still the ingrained feelings from all those years of partiality and indifference to my situation that have sown envy and resentment from the old Elleric that I don't even know how long it would take to overcome or if I can even do it'.

thinking about that kind of things I continue my way to a fountain surrounded by chairs and wooden tables, there were some boys and girls sitting around chatting with each other, just like in the city of KALEORAS there were multiple races here.

demi-humans, elves, humans... look, there is even a girl with green scales'.

without thinking much I sit on an empty seat in the shade of a tree.

"...did you hear the rumor? it seems that this year Prince Luke is going to attend the academy, with that there will be two princes from the JAMIUS kingdom at the academy"

"not only the JAMIUS kingdom, the holy kingdom of ELEXIOS, the CARRTAR kingdom and even the ETHARMAS empire sent their princes here, and that's just the human nations".

"elves... it is said that they are all beautiful and it is hard to tell a man from a woman."

"nah, probably that last one is exaggerated, on the other hand I want to see the famous dragonewt they say they are all really strong..."

as I relaxed under the shade of the tree I could hear many first years like me talking about the different political characters that would be joining the academy along with them this year, some were a bit hesitant believing that it seemed too convenient that all the princes would be of a similar age while others already saw the amount of trouble it would be for them

"I'm telling you man, when we start classes those noble guys will start recruiting people for their own factions, we are just pawns for them, nothing else".

"and I'm telling you that you should stop being so pessimistic, just stop thinking about complicated things for gods sake... this is the spring of our youth! let's try our best and pick up a lot of hot girls, or at least me, after all that's my destiny!"

"please, you and your BIG DESTINY, the only thing big about you is your stupidity."

'heh, these guys are funny and loud, I can't decide whether to laugh or tell them to shut up.'

'shut up Delan, the harem is my future! you're just jealous because when you graduate you won't have any girls for yourself'"

...

it had been almost 40 minutes since I had arrived at the square and the group of fools had already stopped arguing and were now only talking from time to time.

'I guess I've been around long enough, I should go and see what's closer to the entrance to kill some time'.

"besides, I wouldn't have to waste time looking for a place after-AUCH!"

//FLASBACK 10 MINUTES EARLIER//

[??? POV]

Damn, that bastard Kraugel thinks he can do whatever he wants just because his father is a baron tch'.

I was currently healing my bruises with some healing herbs that I always carry with me in case I encounter any dangerous animals at the edge of the forest.

"by all that is good, I swear, once school starts, I will do my best and prove not only to that brute but to all those fools that I'm better than them".

'and... done, the bruises should be gone in 40 minutes or so'.

"oh, man but seeing that fool covered in mud was almost worth the beating hahahahaha"

thinking about it I couldn't stop laughing until he had no more air and was having trouble breathing.

"So you still think it's funny after the beating I gave you right? You know what, I had fun beating up the stupid peasant too, I think I'm going to try it again."

I shudder as I hear the familiar voice from behind me and slowly turn around as sweat begins to appear on my back.

'I'm fucked...'

"y-you...you know we are on the academy grounds you can't do that while I'm here!"

my confidence recovered a little as I remembered that we were no longer in their playground, no, this is the most sacred of institutions to which anyone who aspires to greatness must be admitted, the prestigious ULTIMATE inter-racial academy.

"Tch! just because you're admitted you think you're some big shot scum? know your place! besides..."
his face was starting to turn into a cruel smirk.

he was looking around, looking for someone, anyone to help me in my situation and then he hit me

I came all the way here precisely because there was nobody... I'm alone and nobody will come to help me...'.

"keke it looks like you figured it out you scum... there is no one coming to help you... you are stuck with me here".

And so, the screams and the sound of pounding began to ring through the place as the boy with dreams of grandeur was once again tormented by the cruel reality.
