Back to school

In the shroud of darkness, under the night's crescent moon in the sky, noices of objects that crashed into each other can be heard, as well as, the a loud roar of a wild beast.

"Eat earth swarm! Peasant!!!". Laurence shouts, commanding the large stone ball to compress and made large spikes appear at every spot of the sphere.

"Likewise, witness the might of the mega fauna Triospinosaurus". Iode said. The hologram beast raised its right arm to swipe away the spiked ball. Laurence commanded the spiked sphere towards Iode and his summon.

As the ball and the Triospinosaurus claws were about to make contact, a fiery lightning bolt struck at their middle, lifting dust into the air and creating shockwaves that pushed both Iode and Laurence's spell away, even they were not spared from the effect.

"Argh!!!". Both Laurence and Iode grunts as they fell on their backs. Few minutes later, they got up to see what stopped them. Dust still filled the air and vision a bit blurry at the spot of the lightning struck, however, a voice sounded from within.

"Are you two fighting to the death or what, why are you using such destructive spells on each other, you want to destroy the mansion? Not to talk about the fact that you two woke everyone up with all those noises!!!". The voice said.

Laurence recognized the voice, he cowered, and subtly grits his teeth. Iode also recognize the voice, he went silent. Both dismissed their spells.

Soon, the dust cleared and a man in purple pajamas designed with stars and staffs, stood at the spot. He looked at the two and said.

"Iode, Laurence, if you want to spar, do it in the day time, some of us are trying to have a good night rest that we never had in the last few days, I want to sleep! I want to rest my head!! Let me sleep peacefully!!!". Jarnathan yelled.

"We are sorry!!!". Laurence and Iode said and faced down.

"It's not my fault father, it's him, this peasant took the spar to the next level, he summoned a strong monster!". Laurence said pointing to Iode, trying to shift blame.

"What! I was practicing alone, you asked for a spar, chicken combed head!". Iode replied.

"What did you call me!". Laurence flared up.

"Enough you two! Go back to your rooms right now, I've had enough of this shenanigans!!! ". Jarnathan yelled at them both.

"Yes, father". Both Iode and Laurence said and began to walk back to the mansion, however, both of them were staring daggers at each other.

' stupid peasant, he called me chicken combed head, how dare he, Tsk, not only that, he made me look like a immature brat in front of dad, how incorrigible '. Laurence thought, giving all kinds of glares at Iode.

Iode did the same, never will he give in to him, he glared at Laurence in the best way he could.

' nobles, always looking for ways to bully us commoners, how daunting '. Iode thought.

The following day arrived, Iode smiled like never before, today he would be returning to Rohanes academy, it's been a while since he has seen Hector and ceaser and the rest, he couldn't wait to see them.

Jarnathan willingly gave him a fancy carriage to ride to the capital city's center so he can get to his destination via the warp gate located there. He said his farewell to the Zenivia household and they said theirs too, even though some acted aloof _ Laurence.

He got to the capital city's center without much hitch. He first went to visit the Archmage and returned to the warp gate, he met multitudes of people waiting for their turn to use the gate. It would take forever for it to reach him, however, since he is a student of one of the five prestigious academies of the tribe, he need not wait.

He went to the operators and showed them a badge of a tower with a snake warping around it and a silhouette of a building at the background. It was an indication of the blue tower's academy, the Rohanes academy.

With no hesitation, he was granted access to the gate.

As he entered the portal, he had this unexplainable sensation that made him nauseous. He soon step out of the portal warp gate and starts feeling better.

No matter how many times he pass through the portal he never got used to it. He raised his head up to a completely different Serene.

" Welcome back to Rohanes, Iode". He said to himself looking at Rohanes city and the academy's building from afar.
