Chapter 10: Stuck a Cord

The next morning Elijah was off to his class on the way Solomon started rambling on about how he never had anything like this growing up and how you actually learn all this stuff on your own. When Elijah got to class to his surprise it wasn't very big from what he heard it was pretty much all of the Noble families in one class. As he's looking around he tries to mingle with his other classmates but before he could even approach them they gave me the stink eye. Before it could get him too upset though he heard his name called.

"Elijah," Author said.

"Thank God," Elijah thought making his way to him and said,

"So what's up with some of these kids here looking at me like I got the plague or something."

"You don't come to the capitol that much do you?'' he said laughing.

"What do you mean?" Elijah asks.

"Dude you're literally the lowest form of nobility you're lucky to even have me as a friend," Arthur said jokingly.

"This is what your grandfather was talking about Elijah," Solomon said in my mindscape.

(mindscape = the part of Elijah's mind where Solomon is hiding.)

"I'm sorry to let you know this kid but most of the noble families just see our clan as lucky and they think every little of your grandfather's accomplishments."

(I had to put Solomon in my subconice because teachers at the academy are strong enough to fill his presence.)

Solomon telling Elijah that got him pissed and Arthur saw his face because he said

"It was a joke man chill."

"I know i just thought of something suddenly."

"What's that?"

" I just realized that there aren't any commoners here. I never knew that the classes were divided."

" Wait, are you serious you really don't know much outside of your clan huh Arthur said.

"I didn't know you were that much in the dark kid I apologize," Solomon said.

"Yea but the commoners don't live at the Academy there, they're just basic soldiers they don't worry about their Classes' systems too much." Said, Arthur.

"Now that I think about it your grandfather has been the only commoner in years to rise to nobility so he should be an officer now what rank is he in the Cresntmoon Army?"

"He's a Lt Colonel. Elijah said.

"Really and he's the head of your clan?" Arthur said.

"Normally the head of the family is at least a Colonel well i guess with his age he should definitely be an Admiral by now."

This really Stuck with Elijah the full gravity of everything, why the elder and his grandfather said the things that they did and while Elijah was deep in thought Solomon had to snap him out of it because the class began. The teacher was named Niel Lexington a wolf beastmen of Course and his class was Paladin Templar his rank is Variant that how he introduced himself anyways. Solomon then told Elijah that pretty much all of the teachers here are wolf beastmen. He said some other things but Elijah noticed Sarai Saber in the 2nd row from the front of the class she was as beautiful and as brown as ever and Sitting right in front of her was Misty Moonlight Elijah thought she was beautiful but his grandfather told him don't get involved he didn't think about her much till he saw her just now not how did Sarai.

"Can't decide can you?'' Solomon said.

"I told you about reading my thoughts," Elijah replied back in his head.

"It's an easy choice, of Course, you should go for the Saber clan women back in my day her ancestor was Queen Sheila I would have definitely married that woman but she was very independent and I already had many wives turned her off."

Out of nowhere in the front row sitting right next to the prince of the country Misty Moon turns around, makes eye contact with Elijah, smiles, and gives him a wink. Elijah smiled back.

In the back of Elijah's mind, Solomon was slapping his forehead.

Lucky no one didn't notice except of course the one person that it would matter the most to Klaus NineTails he's got pretty tall over the last 3 years. He notices the situation he turned around and looks at Elijah like now we're mortal enemies.

"This is what I'm talking about Elijah".Solomon said.

"In less than 5 seconds you have gotten into something because of that girl."

Arther leans over and asks "dude why is Fox boy looking at you like that."

Elijah didn't reply.

Elijah wasn't really like the other lions physically and he wasn't really that narcissistic like most (so he thought) but when it came to his pride and a challenge he refused to back down his father told him this trait would definitely get him killed someday. Not only did Elijah give a death glare back he showed teeth which doesn't seem like much normally but in the beastmen world, it didn't just to tell your opponent that you were standing your ground but that you are in fact the prey, not the predictor.

Normally Elijah would have more self-control than that but he thought to himself that no man can tell him what women he can and cannot be with because it is not his decision to do so. Mr. Lexington announced it was a break so the class went into the courtyard.

"Wow I was starting to wonder if we were blood related but man it was scary seeing you do that" "Only because that's exactly what I would have done," Solomon said.

After they got our food and sat down Arthur said,

''You Lions and your pride I know it's your name and all but dude you are seriously going to get yourself killed what was all that about anyways."

"If I told you, you wouldn't believe it," Elijah said.

"Hell I don't believe it and I saw the whole thing,'' said Solomon."

Just tell me." Arthur said, complaining.

...

"Your right I don't believe you but if I did I would say that your suicidal, Klaus is a first-rate bad*** and I don't know if you know this but he's kinda already engaged to Misty there family have had close ties for years I think that's because the wolves fear the foxes though," said Arthur.

"This boy is far smarter than I thought," said Solomon.

As Elijah and Arthur Continued their conversation Klaus was Walking up with some of his goons.

"Ugh," said Arthur "why me".

"Calm down you don't even know what he wants," Elijah says smiling.

"Elijah Pride I thought I remembered your face somehow the 5th Genius of this generation.

(Typically there are only 4).

"Good afternoon Mr.Ninetails," Elijah Said. ( He basically greeted Klaus like a servant).

Then Klaus started making his way closer to Elijah and Arthur and it already caught the attention of everyone in the courtyard. Misty was eating lunch with Xander and other girls not Sarai though Elijah didn't see her in the courtyard at all. While Elijah was Boeing he could see Misty smiling in the distance.

"You think you're funny don't you little turd," Klaus said.

As he stepped closer to Elijah. Klaus was pretty tall for a fox beastmen he was taller than Elijah. They both have a stare off then the Prince caught wind of the situation.

"Klaus what business do you have with this low ranking noble as he says walking over to us."

Klaus and Elijah didn't look away from each other for a second."

"I was just teaching him his Place".

"And where might that be" Elijah replied.

"With the rest of the dirty commoners of course," Klaus said

"You sure do feel threatened by this low "Commoner",

"You have pretty big muscles for a fox beastmen are you trying to compensate for something else?" Elijah said.

Clearly it must have struck a cord because Klaus threw a roundhouse kick that definitely would have taken Elijah head off. Right before the moment of Contact Elijah caught it in this right hand. That surprised everyone, even the Prince.

"Is that a challenge I smell?" Elijah said.

Before Klaus could respond the Prince said "enough, Klaus you know this isn't the right time or place then he walked away.

"But… as Soon as he mustard a word the prince stopped, turned around and said

"what was that?"

The air felt cold for a second. Then Klaus became like a little puppy and said

"as you wish my prince."

When they were left alone Arthur said You're such a bada*** i didn't even see that kick. I underestimated you.

"Do you really think you could take him?

Elijah smiled and said Nah I was bluffing, I did manage to block his attack but I broke my wrist."

"I knew you were bluffing the whole time,'' said Solomon in the mindscape.

"The only reason why you manage to block that attack is because you have been sparing with me." But Honestly Elijah you have been doing really good but compared to those two they truly make you seem like a commoner,

''I didn't think their development would be so fast they are geniuses" said Solomon.

"But still though bro even if you don't think you can take them the fact that you stud up to them is so amazingly stupid."

Said Arthur as they Started making their way to the Nurses office.

The Ninetails family has a huge influence on many things. I hope you didn't cause a lot of trouble for your clan Arthur said.

What more could they do we are already the most oppressed Beastmen out of the kingdom said Elijah .

That may be true Elijah but it can always get more personal he said.
