Yoggot

VanKcrow was currently looking at the boy who stood before him,he looked to be around 17 or 18 years old, around the same age that VanKcrow looked to be.

And since he was a student at the Akademie,he most likely was 17 years old,close to being 18.

VanKcrow's current body was also 17 years old and close to being 18,he knew this because the Akademie would perform skeletal age tests in the rare cases were students didn't know their exact year of birth.

In Akash, children could only be born during the month of fertilitas,the reason being the curse cast by the God of the Anti-Life,Anthydeotd, Around 15 thousand years ago,The God of the Anti-Life had cast a curse that would absorb the souls of any fetus in the continents of Akash and Shi no Kuni.

It is unknown why he did that,but he was given the name of the God of the Anti-Life due to his actions and hated by the entire continent of Akash due to them.

Back then Anthydeotd was practically invincible throughout the world,no one was able to stop him or the curse for years, eventually however,the Bloodtree Saintess managed to perform a ritual that sacrificed the lives of countless people to pay tribute to the goddess of life,Matre.

This ritual lasted 30 days and was performed in the month of Fertilitas,the first month of the year.

From what's known today about those days,the Bloodtree Saintess wished to get rid of the curse for good, however,she only managed to make it so that it would not function during the month of Fertilitas anymore.

In response to her actions,The God of the Anti-Life Annihilated the entire continent of Shi no Kuni,and Akash would follow the same fate if not for Some sort of ritual or magic performed by the inhabitants of Shi no Kuni before their demise.

After the God of Anti-Life, another disaster struck Akash in the form of his inheritor, Annihilate, Annihilate had figured out that unlike what most thought,the god of the Anti-Life did not die after being struck by the ritual or magic, instead he had his powers sealed and was trapped in the mist, Annihilate therefore cast a curse similar to the one Anthydeotd cast but instead of affecting all fetuses,it only affected those who inherited the Abilities of the sages and Soldner,and similar to Anthydeotd,the Bloodtree Saintess also left an inheritance,which was Inherited by The future Honored One,Vajra.

Vajra followed the footsteps of her master and also performed a ritual,hers was for the god of the new year,Weiss,the ritual worked somewhat, a protective charm was placed in Akash, however,it would only work on the day of the new year.

Because of that, fated children in Akash all have the same birthday.

Every new years eve,couples in Akash would join themselves together to produce an offspring,the goal was to ensure that their children had the chance to be born as a fated,this was known as the Holy Ceremony of the Heroes.

During the month of Fertilitas, unlike in other months it only takes a couple of hours for children to be born after pregnancy.

Almost all the students at the Akademie had the exact same birthday since almost all of them were fated, changeling were only about 5 or so % of the students in Akash, Changeling are mainly found in the continent of Salvation.

VanKcrow would soon fully form his origin since he would turn 18 which is when the origin fully forms itself, normally this would happen one year after Sacrum Ritus, however,he was a special case...

...

High up in the sky,the figures of a hundred or so people were completely still,they were the teachers and the principal.

Currently,they were attentively watching the Battle Royale unfolding below,some of them were discussing the most noteworthy candidates of this year's competition.

"So miss Shang,wanna make a bet on who wins this year's final competition?"

"Tsk,you degenerate gambler,still betting even at this time?"

Instead of miss Shang,A Dark skinned woman with black hair responded.

"Now,why not?,it's certainly quite entertaining..."

"In fact,why don't me and you make a bet?,I Personally bet on Lady Anneliese,I expect you would bet on your sister no?"

"I have no interest in taking part in your addiction..."

"Twenty Geistertores."

"...,Deal."

"Oh,miss Hannah,mind checking if My degenerate habits aren't infectious?"

Zagreb spoke while making a smug look towards Levant's direction,She made an annoyed expression but didn't retort.

Instead,she said,

"Huh,I bet on Yakone."

"Huh,not your sister?,come on,where is the family spirit?"

"Tsk,that damn brat is definitely going to be expelled from the competitions,I doubt she makes past this round."

'Huh,well,I guess she's not wrong...'

"How about you miss Shang?,wanna bet?"

"No, I'll pass, Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of betting anything as valuable as 20 Geistertores."

"May I join in?"

A Muscular man with an average height and yellow hair that was shaped into many goldilocks spoke from a little bit far away.

'this bastard has been eavesdropping...'

Zagreb didn't say anything since he knew Yaggent would place a bet anyway.

And indeed he soon said,"I'll bet on my cousin,Yoggot."

...

VanKcrow was currently Carefully analyzing the opposition, somehow the boy before him had already killed 27 people.

There were two possibilities VanKcrow was seriously considering,either he was much stronger than VanKcrow himself,or he had an inheritance specifically suited for mass killings.

Without wasting any more time, Yoggot jumped forwards with extreme speed,his massive hands coming near VanKcrow in an instant, VanKcrow could barely react properly, however, using his skills he had honed for years as a soldier,he managed to somewhat predict Yoggot's movements and moved his head to the left,his left hand was now between Yoggot's hands and his face,that was the only reason he didn't get his face caved in by the back of the hand of Yoggot that instead came into contact with his palms.

VanKcrow's left hand almost crashed into his face but he managed to stop it just in time,Yoggot proceeded to stop attacking for a second and spoke.

"Huh,nice reflexes..."

"You know, I'm both a fated and changeling,a 1st origin at that,and my inheritance gives me enhanced physical prowess as well,most people would have died from that str...I..kke."

As Yoggot was speaking, VanKcrow was analyzing his palm that now felt quite numb.

'He is strong,I most likely won't win without "Arsenal".'

VanKcrow had previously thrown away "Arsenal" and before he could recover it,Yoggot had suddenly appeared before him.

VanKcrow had summoned "Arsenal",just after Yoggot's appearance, however,it took quite a while for "Arsenal",to be summoned back to him.

Which is why he faced Yoggot barehanded,but just after Yoggot's statements,"Arsenal", found itself in his left hand in the shape of a longsword.

Now, armed with "Arsenal",he would continue his battle against the strongest Prodigent of the Harrow Clan.
