Jake Walker and Professor Williams then walked into his office.
"Greetings Sir Jake Walker, please make yourself comfortable" The headmaster said
They both sat down except Professor Williams
"I'm glad to meet the headmaster of Phoenix Academy, one of the best academies in the whole continent " Jake replied
"Seems like you are interested in our student, Perseus Silver, he's incredibly talented for his age" The headmaster said "He's currently a candidate for the captain's position despite being a first year"
"Ah even as a mortal, his talent shone brightly, what a magnificent being" Jake said
"The beast taming class does have a plan to visit Gloria in the future, right after the break after the 1st exam, we can also arrange a trip to the church of Dabria while they are there" The headmaster said
"Ah, wonderful, I will personally guide the group around Gloria" He laughed "Can I attend one of his classes before I leave? I have a lot of confidence in my sword skills and I do believe I can show him a thing or two before I leave Artia"
"We can arrange that, you can attend Professor Steel's class for close combat and watch him in Professor William's class, he's currently first place in all his classes, even his bonds, they all show promising talents, they are even better than some of our students"
"Wonderful" Jake replied
"Professor Williams, find him a guest room in the teacher's dorm, if you please. Is there anything else you need commander Jake" The headmaster asked
"I've retired from that title, headmaster. I'm off now, I'll meet young master Perseus in his class" Jake bowed before leaving with Professor Williams

"No way, kid, you got to be a candidate for the captains position, that's great news!" Luke shouted in the shop
"Yeah, you might want to inform your parents" Eliza added
"I did it already last night, even told him about the annoying old man" I said
"What old man?" Eliza asked
"Eleanor, can you say it for me? I'm still annoyed every time I think of him"
Eleanor then told them the whole story, from the abandoned church to the old man ramblings about me being reincarnation of god.
"Man, must've been rough" Luke whistled
"That's kind of funny actually" Eliza giggled
-She always does have a cute smile-
-Please stop- Dabria said
-Yeah, we're here too- Diana added
"It would've been a lot more funnier if it's not me this is happening to" I sighed "I heard that he's going to stay at the school for a while too, I'm going to have to hear his voice again"
"He would get along with your cousins, they also praise you for everything you do" Eliza said
-What if we throw Albert at him, maybe his aura can distract him away from us-
-That sounds plausible- Damon agreed
-He met other saints and holy maidens before, Albert would give off an aura similar to Helena- Dabria argued
-He'll stop Jake in his tracks for a couple seconds at least, but he'll still chase after you- Siege agreed
"So do you have any plans right now?" Luke asked
"I gotta have to pass my exams, I already passed close combat, we got our spells for spell making, I already practiced for my exams in rune smithing and enchanting, I still have no clue for Spatial magic class and beast taming, and there's that stupid competition where I have to compete with the other 3 for the captain's position, I got a lot to do"
"Sounds like a lot to do for a small kid like you" Luke replied
"Tell me about it"
"Oi old man, how much is it for this sword?" Lucas asked in the background
"50 silver coins"
"Is it just me or does your hair color changes a lot?" Eliza asked
"Thank you! I knew I wasn't going crazy"
"What are you 2 talking about? My hair is the same color as it's always been" Lucas replied
"Yeah, you 2 might need to get checked out, we can call John over" Luke said
-You 2 are just crazy then- Ace said
"Well let's leave the discussion for later, any of you guys need anything before we go?" I asked
"I just need this sword and I'm done" Lucas answered
Albert, Cecily and Eleanor just shook their head.
"Well then, I'll come visit later"
"Bye Perseus, make sure you don't get into trouble again, I doubt your bodyguard can always steer you away from that" Eliza said
"Bye kid, next time, let me check out that sword of yours" Luke said
"Sure"
We left the store and bought a lot of ingredients for the night. Me and Damon took care of the cooking for the night too.
"This is delicious" Cecily complimented
"Thank you"
"By the way, Jake is apparently joining your close combat class as a guest" Lucas said
"Well, he's apparently a former commander of the church too, I got Balor to look into him" Eleanor added
"We can see him in action then" Albert said "Our class are joining tomorrow again"
"Great, that means, we're getting injured again"

I then headed into class with Siege, and We saw Professor Steel talking with Jake. Didn't take long till the rest of the class arrive. Jake got his full armor on today, decorated with symbols of butterflies on it
"Make sure you guys behave today" Professor Steel announced "This is former commander of the holy knights, Sir Jake Walker of the church of Dabria, the goddess of life and death" He then pointed at me "Kid get on the stage, he'll demonstrate some swordsmanship today"
"Don't worry, I'll be here to heal any major injuries" Professor Green said
I got on the stage, Jake took out a sword, a white blade with a black handle.
"I can take out my favorite sword right?"
"Of course, young master Perseus" Jake replied
I took out Dream Eater
"What is the name of your sword?" He asked
"Dream Eater"
"Pretentious name kid" Professor Steel said from the sidelines
"Nonsense, that is a wonderful name, mine is Vanquisher" he replied as he waved his sword around "An SS-ranked sword, it is very hard to find, let's not delay any longer, you may take the first move"
I then charged at him
