in Afilya town with Kycer~ part 1/3

I decided that I should visit the "someone" tomorrow instead and accompany Kycer to go around the town.

"I didn't know that you were also going to the academy." I started.

" Yeah~ I forgot to tell you. Besides, I didn't know that you were also going to attend the Academy." He responded.

"So- which specialty did you choose?" I asked.

PS: (SPECIALTY) means the courses in the academy. There are currently 4 specialties to choose from.

1. Specialty of Wizardry- to those who want to practice and hone their skills of magic and mana's.

2. Specialty of Knighthood- to those who want to learn swordsmanship, archery, spear or any combat skills used to protect their Empire or Kingdom.

3. Specialty of Politician'is- to those who want to study the continent. Planner and idealist of their respective homeland. Join the politics.

4. Specialty of Judgement- to those who still doesn't know what to choose. All will learn the other 3 specialties for 6 months, and the teachers will be the one to decide where they pass.

" 3rd year from the specialty of Knighthood." He replied.

I turned to him and looked confused.

"You're already in 3rd year, so why did you took the test again?" I asked.

*Only the newcomers are able to take the test.*

He chuckled. "didn't you know?... there is now a new policy in the Academy. 2nd year to 3rd years can take the advance test and set their rankings. Every week, points and stars will be given to the students, the one who has the most will be titled: The Star of the Week!" He explained.

"Really?~ How come I wasn't updated of that?" I asked unawared.

"Pfft~" He chuckled.

"Hmpph~ I really hate the fact that I am unaware of this new system." I sulked and pouted my mouth like a fish.

"My God! Why do you look so cute when you pout? it makes me want to squeeze your cheeks." He said and after that, pinched both sides of my cheeks really hard. He was irresistible.

"O-O- Oww~ Kycer that hurts." I complained when I felt the ant- bite like pain on my cheeks.

"Oops~ Sorry! You were just being too cute." He said giggling.

"Do you have to squeeze me like that? It hurts." I complained.

I rubbed my cheeks with my palms, wearing a puppy- like sulking on my face. They were red like tomatoes but soft as a feather. After minutes of rubbing, the pain slowly faded along with the red color covering it.

We walked and walked around the streets, until we reached the Central Market; where they not only sell foods, but also produce entertainment for people. The crowd was getting thicker and thicker as we get far, it was starting to get by hard. The people clamoring, Fair music, performances, People cheering was all we can hear in our Background. But there we come at food stalls, which made our stomach growl in hunger as soon as we saw and smelled the aromatic and appetizing foods.

"Look! Is that a 'Chicken Cordon Bleau'?" Kycer asked.

(Chicken Cordon Bleau) is a meat dish with chicken, ham, cheese and covered in crispy crisp.

"I think so." I replied beaming in smile.

"Do you want one?" I asked.

"Sure! I would love to taste it." He answered.

We both got one, and after finishing, moved on to the next stalls.

We spent hours eating and ordering foods at the stalls. Our stomachs can't take it anymore; nor walk. Kycer was so full that his tummy bloated and looks like he's about to throw- up in any second. I too was the same. So we sat at a table with chairs and rested for a bit; just until we digest the food we ate and feel normal. We chatted and talked about what happened to us in the past week we separated.

Kycer told me that he went to organize some things and files from the Academy for he was one of the chosen Superior Candidates in their Specialty. I, of course didn't believe him and even argued with him.

"You're such a liar." I told him.

"Believe me or not... It's true though" He insisted.

"Well I don't believe you." I replied.

He sighed deeply and said the following words: "Whatever! You'll see in the Newcomer student opening." Ha said and grinned.

I rolled my eyes and smiled. "Yeah sure~ we'll see."

We both giggled.

While he told me that, I told him that I ranked 1st from all 250 students who got in. He neither believed. Not until I showed him my papers.

"No. No way!" He said from disbelief.

"This is authentic." I steadily showed him and grinned.

"Well, that's very amazing of you." He said normally.

I flinched.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I think it's expected, just by looking from your looks... it's expected that you're also smart." He replied normally.

"Why are you acting like you're not surprised by it." I asked him, curious.

"It's expected." He replied like he doesn't even care.

"Do you know that you're the only person that I've ever told you this? Others would've gotten crazy and surprised by it, but why aren't you?!" I said feeling bothered.

"Hey~ Chill! I was just joking~ I just wanted to tease you for a bit, you look cute when you're like that." He said teasing me.

"You suck!" I said and gave out an exhausted sigh.

"Pfft~" He laughed.

"So are you really surprised or not?" I asked him.

" I couldn't even believe it myself, I'm with the person who ranked first from the entrance exams. It's actually a honor to be with you~" He said teasing me again.

"Kycer!" I groaned.

"Haha! It was just a joke! But, no. Really~ the whole Empire will celebrate if one of their citizen's rank first from all of the thousands student who took the entrance exam from the most prestigious Academy in the whole Continent." He said exaggerated.

"well, that's true-" I replied unsure.

"Well anyways, I think I feel okay now, so why don't we continue our trip." He stand up and said.

"Why not, I already felt refreshed minutes ago! Let's go already!" I held his hand and ran through the crowds.
