Arc 3.2

Jasiel stands next Martell as the knight students came into the arena. Like them, they were 10 and you can tell their ranking by the design on their armor the more detail the stronger the person. Jasiel felt a gaze land on him the strongest one is looking at him.

"Now everyone, pair up with the corresponding rank! Vulir you can choose between Jasiel who is in the white or Martell who is in the black" the Magician Teacher Crow states. Martell frown and whispers in Jasiel ear to be careful if he was chosen. Vulir gives a slight glare towards Martell.

"Jasiel I haven't worked with him before" Vulir states coldly. Jasiel nods and goes to stand next to him. The two standing next seemed very fitting Jasiel is gentle but cold while Vulir a vicious cold warrior.

"Now as you know the arena can split into ten sections. Each group will be encased in each smaller arena. You'll be fighting monsters low-rank ones. The teachers will make sure nothing happens but still be careful. So other magicians don't bother each other we used barriers to block it from each arena" the Knight teacher Blake explains. The arena started to shift and everyone got to their spots.

"Be careful don't get yourself killed" Vulir states coldly. Jasiel takes out his flute and starts playing it. The music soon boosted Vulir abilities and slightly weakened the monster. Vulir felt a similar stimulation the day he walked by that house. He smiles he found him!

"Let's get this over with" Vulir announces as he runs to the monster at high speeds. The monster raises his arm to try to squash Vulir. Vulir quickly dodges and slashes the monster next. With how strong Jasiel boost is he immediately killed the beast. Jasiel stops playing and looks at the monster couldn't help but think it's ugly.

"Jasiel will you be my magician bond partner once we graduate?" Vulir questions as he approached Jasiel. Jasiel eyes close to thinking about the plot. Vulir wasn't really involved a lot but he did save many people and was one of the few who were able to fight until the bitter end.

"I accept Vulir" Jasiel responds. Magician and knight partner those who make a bond to fight together. If they bond which is the magician applies some of his magic into the armor of the knight. Which resonates with the knight and so makes them stronger. Each magician can only bond with one person at a time. This causes their strength to increase much more. If the magician just lets others hear their music and not bond they get a much smaller boost.

"Good my name is Vulir Woodberry I'm a commoner" Vulir introduces himself.

"Nice to meet you Vulir my name is Jasiel Maze the youngest son of the duke" Jasiel answers. Vulir eyes scrunch a bit confused.

"I thought the youngest son of the duke left home to wander not join any type of Academy. I heard he'd became a scholar" Vulir asks confused.

"I was I have only been to this Academy two days. I liked being a scholar and teaching at the borders. However, for my weakness, I wasn't able to save my students. So I decided to learn from here. So I don't have to see kids die at the borders" Jasiel explains to Vulir.

"I see when we are stationed at the borders you can teach. We both can keep it safe and you can continue to teach" Vulir says softly. Jasiel is taken back when he showed actual emotion. He couldn't help but smile back.

"Jasiel!" Martell comes into their arena a bit worried. Jasiel turns to him and looks at him a bit confused.

"What is it, Martell?" Jasiel questions Martell gives him a hug and checks him if he is okay. Before he could continue Vulir grabs his wrist and pulls him back.

"He is alright no need to touch him" Vulir scolds coldly. Martell frowns but nods.

"Jasiel want to practice after school again," Martell asks with a smile.

"Actually today I'm gonna visit my parents I heard they are in town" Jasiel responds.

"Can I come with you? You are gonna be my future magician bond partner" Vulir interrupts. Jasiel nods in acceptance. Martell gasps in shock and looks at Jasiel.

"You accepted him as your partner?" Martell asks in your disbelief.

"Hey, you are making it sound like he asked my hand for marriage instead of magician bond partner. And yes I accepted his proposition because our personalities don't clash" Jasiel explains to Martell.

"I see can I come as well as your friend," Martell says with a smile.

"Both of you can come alright it's only my parents" Jasiel mumbles as he walks. He is headed to the biggest hotel in town. When the three made it there were many people gathered in front blocking the entrance. However, a man in a suit saw Jasiel and made everyone clear a path. The three go through quickly and the man escorted them to his parents.

"Jasiel my adorable son! Do you need anything? Is it money you can have all I have. No, you must need new instruments! Flute right? I'll buy the most expansive flute out there!" Screams Hella Jasiel's mother. Behind her stood Azriel Jasiel father.

"My son you've gotten bigger! Look at you so tall and refined! Who are these two?" Azriel asks curiously looking at the two kids behind him. One of them looks very familiar he just can't remember.

"This is Martell, my friend well he is the prince but told me not to mention it. This is Vulir he is my future knight bond partner. No, it doesn't mean a relationship like that mom" Jasiel says softly. His voice gentle which surprises both Martell and Vulir.

"I see! Vulir please take care of my son in the future. He has never shown interest in dating so maybe just be at his side as a partner! I fear he will never fall in love so please take care of him" Hella goes up Vulir holding his hand. Bond partner is almost as important as your spouse.

"I will take care of him and protect with all I got" Vulir answers firmly.

"Martell I hope you and my son have a long-lasting friendship," Azriel says softly.
