A young man with dark green hair was standing in front of a window where the seas pristine waters, whose colors resembled his own eyes, could be seen. Actually, he was inside a ship sailing the seas and the room he was in was his quarters. All of a sudden, a knock interrupted him of his thoughts.
Co in.
A brown-haired young woman just about his age entered. She adjusted her glasses as she stood in attention.
Report. said the young man.
We will be arriving in the port city of Agrebel this evening. An official from the imperial governnt will bring us to Azte City via teleportation formation and lead us to the guest house we are assigned to stay on our duration here.
Hmm And what of the n we sent out to scout to Praiji Empires capital city?
He returned a day ago and I have compiled his report. We now have information of the seven representatives of Praijis Imperial Academy. Although, we are not sure of what event they would be joining.
I want to hear it.
Yes sir. First, we have the two fourth years, Anastasia Nesteria and George von Demarem. Both are enrolled in the Military Arts Departnts Knight Course. Both are well-versed in combat and their chosen weapons, a double-headed axe called a labrys and a bow respectively.
Then I suppose we can assu that George von Demarem will be participating in the Archery Quiz event. By the way Erika, there are only two fourth years? Are they planning to send five third years this year? How laughable.
Err I believe it is more thrilling if you hear till the end President Andrei.
Fine.
Yes sir. The third year representatives are Trent Kidlat and Torii Chrishni, both are Magic Knight Course students with lightning magic and wind magic respectively. Our scout put a side note that Trent Kidlat is under the protection of the Lemaria Family and Torii Chrishni is the cousin of the fad Archduchess Celestine.
Arent the Chrishnis of nobility? Why does this Torii does not bear the na of 'von' before her family na?
It appears she is an illegitimate child of the last head of the Chrishni Family and is now believed to be under the wing of the archduchess thus discarding her nobility.
I see. Interesting. Continue.
Right. Next we have Daniel Jarnthe, a second year.
What?! Theyre sending a second year? Are they mocking us for this-
He was chosen for a reason. And trust thats not the most shocking thing yet. Anyway, hes a Magus Knight Course student as well, with affinity to earth magic. Hes apparently a prodigy in his field so there is an advice of caution.
Very well.
The last two representatives are Freya von Berialis and Luna Hysi, both are first years from the Battle Mage Course of the Magic Arts Departnt.
The young man nad Andrei was outraged! Was the Praiji Imperial Academy even taking the Grand Academy Gas seriously? They dared send out first years? Newbies with no battle experience?
There was a reason lower years were usually not chosen as representatives! On the first few years of the G.A. Gas, the death count of first years and second years were high so schools tend to choose students from the third years and fourth years!
And yet-
Freya von Berialis is a wind mage and is the daughter of a marquis. She is a powerful wind magic user and her involvent on the Mt. Tala Island Incident was also found by our scout. I bet its the reason she was chosen.
You an that incident where students and teachers were trapped by demons?
Yes. She was there and she was one of the two students that managed to slay a demon.
Andrei was wide-eyed, well so was Erika since they were not expecting it. The other nations, especially those located in other continents, had always thought the news was nothing but a publicity stunt but it seed like it was apparently real.
And the other one? The one that slayed the demon with this Freya?
Shes the other participant, Luna Hysi. Theres not much information to gather from her aside from shes an orphan from the Celestine Territory and has dual affinity; fire and ice.
Andrei froze all together at the words Erika spoke.
Luna Hysi? Hysi?
Yes President, why are you a look of realization flashed on Erikas face. Could it be that shes the descendant of that woman?
I need to know. Once we arrive, I want to speak personally with this Luna Hysi.
I will make arrangents.
Erika left the room and Andrei was left alone. He looked at the horizon a mixture of emotions was on his mind and face.
I will finally see soone related to that person mother. he whispers. And I will make sure that all debts will be paid.

After being told to be a representative for the Grand Academy Gas, I underwent grueling training for four months. Well I wasnt the only one since the other participants were also in the sa boat. We were supervised by a professor one by one so nobody could really slack off. It was really sad and lonely actually.
So, what was best way to enjoy the training?
Drag your friends in it.
I wasnt alone and I had sparring partners! Two birds with one stone!
And so, after four months of training my combat skills and magic (not really), there were definitely relevant changes. I beca faster on my feet and nimbler too. And although my control over my werent on par when I was still a deity, I could say I had made great improvent. I could circulate the internal energy faster around my body, and with my spirit cores help I could also generate more of it if needed. With this, I could also gather external energy much faster than before. With my control over the two energies improved, that ant I could cast my ice magic and fire magic faster and the spells could also be stronger. My control over my had also drastically improved. I could now make bigger flas without suddenly going out of control. My original power still did not like my mortal body so I was relieved of that.
All that improvent was because of the people who helped , well the people who tried to beat black and blue. If only my body was as strong as my original body, I wouldnt have to fear much of these people. But those sa people were also the ones I learned to love while living in the Mortal Realm.
Are you excited for the gas? asked Zack who was my sparring partner for that day.
Other than my assigned professor, which was surprisingly Professor Tresde, my siblings, Sebastian and Zack snuck in so sparring sessions and advices so I could improve.
I am. I cant wait to test it out during the gas.
I see. I am glad for that. When I participated in it two years ago, I was weaker than you, so I think youll be fine.
Thanks Zach!
The city is in a festive mood and the delegates from participating schools and countries are arriving, would you like to check it out?
Really? Then can Vyfal and I really go?
Sure. I dont recomnd going alone though.
Thats fine! My friends are all busy preparing for the final exams so no one can really accompany . Ill be fine! And besides, I have Vyfal with !
The representatives of the G.A. Gas were exempted from taking the final exams. We were to focus on the upcoming event so it was sort of a given.
And so it was decided that Vyfal and would see the capital.
