Chapter 44

Arcadia city, the capital of Arcadia kingdom is the biggest city of the kingdom. The entire city was composed of large clans and medium level clans which were almost at the level of the large clans. Apart from that, the entire city was filled with Alchemy, blacksmith shops, auction houses and restaurants which belonged to famous clans and the entire city had a tight security 24x7.

The pride of Arcadia city, however, were the Arcadia Academy of Warriors, Arcadia Academy of Magic and Arcadia Palace which is the palace of Royal family. The Warrior Academy was located in the west side of the city while the Mage Academy was located in the north side of the city but the illustrious Arcadia Palace was located in the Central part of the city covering the entire central Area filled with beautiful and ancient architecture and having various buildings designated for different purposes.

Currently, in the Warrior Academy's girls dormitory Emily Walker was holding two letters in her hands. Sean had previously given the letter he wrote to Lucy inorder to send it to the Arcadia city. The postal service which is sent amongst the large cities are usually within 24 hours compared to letters to be sent to small and medium sized cities. Emily opened the letter which had the name Sean in it first and read the letter patiently. Her facial expressions changed to surprise and happiness after hearing that Sean won the combat tournament. There was not much else written in Sean's letter except saying that he was adjusting to the life in the big city.

Next, Emily opened the second letter which had the name of Wendell and read it. In it there was not only a detailed information on how Sean won the combat tournament, there was also information regarding the attack Wendell and company suffered on their way towards the Academy and also about the current state of Golem city. Emily closed both letters and placed it inside her spacial pouch when she heard a male voice behind her as an arm wrapped around her neck and felt a face beside her cheek asking "Is it a letter? Who is it from?". Emily smiled slightly and kissed the male's cheek before saying "It's from my brothers. It seems like my Youngest brother Sean has won the entrance combat exam" and looked at the handsome face which was beside her.

"Oh!! he won the combat tournament entrance test of Four leaves Academy. That is one of the seven stars Academy in the kingdom. Didn't you say that your younger brother did not have a bloodline ability? How did he win?" asked the guy who was the boyfriend of Emily whom she mentioned previously in a letter to Sean. His name was Kleever Anthony from a medium level clan. Emily and Kleever met when they just entered the Academy and had gradually gotten close over the years through classes and had also been in the same team of the mercenary squad.

The Anthony family could be considered as a first generation nobles who attained status of a baron before expanding their resources to become a Medium level clan. Kleever's grandfather and father have made huge military contribution for the kingdom, especially his father who has become a General in the army protecting the Southern border of the kingdom which was known for extreme weather conditions and chaotic due to presence of bandits and regular attacks from neighbouring countries. There were also a lot of spies who try to infiltrate the kingdom through the border as there is high chance of going unnoticed due to regular movement across the border by not only merchants but also by refugees and not everyone carry a ID which would help border officials know their identity and there were fake ID's with real seals available in every kingdom which makes identifying fake from real near impossible.

Kleever Anthony's father had not only power within the kingdom but he also had earned huge amount of money from raids he had conducted on other noble families during skirmishes with neighbouring countries and also by raiding bandit hideouts apart from entering into a business with many merchants as maintaining a good relationship with his father was necessary for these merchants who trade between kingdoms. The accumulation of wealth through these ways made his family to rise rapidly into a medium level family. Despite this many nobles or clan heads did not have much respect for him as his roots were very weak and the other middle level families felt that it would not last long while the other medium level and even high level clans had intention of taking over the clan but restrained themselves due to his position as General for the kingdom. In other words the entire Anthony family was dependent on Kleever's father and the day he dies, the clan would face it's destruction. Of course he knew of this and had long started to create alliance with other medium level families through marriage not only as a way to improve connections but also to improve the bloodline by having children with woman of better pedigree.

Kleever had long been arranged with a marriage with another woman from medium level clan who is also his childhood friend and it was common to have at least more than four women as wives or concubine. Emily had also knew of this and she had also created a very close relationship with Kleever's childhood friend and they are as close as sisters.

"Well, it seems like he is better in real combat. Wendell has said that his opponents did not even stand a chance against him" said Emily with a proud smile on her face. Looking at her proud smile, kleever laughed and said "Wow you really are a woman who has brother complex". Emily blushed upon hearing this and started hitting Kleever playfully.

Meanwhile in the classrooms where freshmen were present was devoid of any teacher was getting more and more rowdy as students were already forming groups with other boys and girls with whom they get along. However it was different for class A and B. Class A was filled with students who consider themselves elites with good background and generally tend to be reserved towards others and had very less groups formed. The groups were either filled with kids who already knew eachother and were friends or were surrounding alpha characters like Melinda, Sirius and Roman as they were from a large clans and forming friendship with them could be extremely helpful for them down the future. As for class B it was currently quiet while a whispers were heard every no and then as the entire class's eyes were on the last bench i.e on Sean and Danny were surrounded by Randy Alexander and his lackeys as a lackey said "You are the one who got the first place in Combat tournament right? Young Master gives you the opportunity to serve him. Quickly come and greet Young Master and also move out of the place, Young Master wants to sit there".

The entire class was silent and boys and girls were looking at Sean in anticipation of what he would do. Everyone knew that the best answer was to move out of the way for Randy Alexander after all no matter how talented one is their background was even more important than talent. Randy was not someone whom Sean Walker could afford to offend despite Randy despite Randy being weaker than Sean.

Sean looked at the three lackeys and then at Randy while thinking 'These guys want to establish dominance in this class and the best way to go about it is bullying. Most of the boys here are either from a small or medium level clans and some even from normal family and they cannot afford to offend this guy who is from a strong background. By making me move from this place he would not only assert dominance showing the entire class that he could toy with the strongest amongst the entire freshmen. If it was only to that extent I would give him way just to satisfy his ego, after all I am a grown ass man in child form. I don't care much about some stupid dominance in an academy filled with brats but it would not end with that. He would continue to order me around even after making me give my seat like those guys from the front row. No matter how much of patience I have, there is no way I am allowing myself to be treated like a lackey and get easily bullied. There is only one way to deal with guys like these, guys who only know to bully the weak and fear the strong..... show him what a real monster looks like. He has dealt with weak and probably knows how to deal with the strong, but does he know how to deal with crazies and psychos. Not to mention this kid even I during my time as a CIA agent avoid dealing with crazy mad dogs' as Sean got up from his seat. Randy had a victorious smile on his face while his lackeys were also proud to make the champion of combat tournament to listen to their commands. 'From now on you will be nothing more than a slave for us ' thought a lackey. The kids in the class were also watching the show, some having a happy face clearly enjoying the show, some giving a look of pity for Sean, while some simply with a dead pan face. Just as everyone thought that Sean would give up his seat....
