Hearing this, the faces of the two youths standing behind Clyde changed.
At this ti, the girl standing behind Clyde hesitated a bit, and then lightly tugged at Clydes clothes. She lightly whispered, Big brother, there are so open seats over there, we should just go sit over there.
Clyde looked around the dining hall, and sure enough, a spot not too far away had opened up. Clyde gave Drake a ferocious glare, State your na kid. If you’re man enough that is.
Of course I’m man enough. Humph, clean your ears tighten your belts and Hold on to your underwear for my great na. Drake made an exaggerated pose. Before saying, I am Surnad Black with my given na being Drake. Altogether Drake Black. My friends call Boss, but for others; Ladies call Drake and n you can call Mr. Black.
Clyde nodded. Drake Black is it? Good, I will settle this at a later date. Then he waved his hand, lets go. He said as he started to walk over to the empty table.
If he had continued with this spectacle, then there would have been no benefit for him. He was also slightly afraid of coming out as the loser, since Benjis clan was not at all weaker than his family. Benji himself was actually stronger than him.
But that wasnt the most important aspect. The bigger matter at hand was that if word got out that an upperclassman like Clyde was bullying one of the freshn, then he would beco the target of ridicule. Furthermore, if the headmaster heard about this, then he would definitely receive a strict punishnt.
Another reason why Clyde wasnt willing to pick on commoners for their seats was for sothing that every upperclassn knew about within their hearts. As the Greatest academy in the empire, Alpha Academy did not tolerate bullying of the freshn.
At that mont, Clydes sister looked at Drake with renewed interest as if she suddenly recalled sothing. Black, Drake Black. Oh, I think I just rembered sothing. Didn’t that Leo Black guy once ntion sothing about having so trash back at his family called Drake Black?
There is such a thing?
She nodded. Mn, I overheard him talking with the others. It was just after he joined our people and was trying to suck up to . At that ti, he had been telling the others that there was this kid from his family called Drake Black. I wasn’t really paying attention since soone who bully’s their own family like that is beneath , but I’m very sure I didn’t mishear. there was scorn in her eyes as she ntioned Leo.
To her nothing was more important than her family, they were her greatest strength. She did not have a very strong cultivation, but whatever happened to her, her family would always stand by her. They would never let her suffer. And if a situation ever ca up that they could not help it then they would still stay beside her and suffer along with her and she would do the sa for them.
Now that she ran into sobody like Leo who was so proud of showing off how he bullied his own family, she felt utter disgust for him from the depths of her heart.
Clyde said, We’ll ask him when we get back. I want to know everything about this Drake Black. No one gets away with showing such disrespect towards . There was a ferocious glint in his eyes.
...
Benji walked on over to Drake and patted his shoulder with a laugh, You really have guts to not have given Clyde any face like that. He’s on of the bullies of the Elite class. If he tries to get to you in the future, then you can co look for .
When Drake heard this he couldn’t help but feel a bit complicated.
Initially he had been very unhappy that so busy body had co along and chased away the prey he had finally gotten after searching so long for them. But now he could not really get angry since the guy’s intentions had been pure. He had only wanted to help.
Drake could not help but laugh at the irony. Back when he had been living in the Black clan, he didn’t want any trouble but trouble had always found him, and nobody had been willing to stand up for him. Yet, now that he actually wanted trouble sobody was here to help stand up for him.
Drake stood up from his stool and smiled politely, Thank you for helping with this embarrassing situation, otherwise, Im afraid it would have escalated into sothing troubleso.
Benji started to chuckle, Junior student you don’t need to be this polite. Clyde has always been very domineering and aggressive within the academy. Ive long since found him to be quite annoying, but unfortunately, I could never find an opportunity to teach him a lesson. Right, I am called Benji, you can just call that.
Youll want to be very careful in the Academy. Clyde is a 3 star mage, a student of the Elite class. The two people behind Clyde were his little sister Jenny, and his younger brother Prince. Clyde also has a whole gang of lackeys under him. And if they want to find soone for trouble they can do it easily.
Drake only laughed and said, Thanks Benji, dont worry. If I end up seeing them, then I will definitely be careful.
Nodding, Benji said, Alright, you can get on with your business. Ill be returning to my dorm. Junior, I hope well see each other again.
Drake sat back down to continue his al when just at that mont his Skylink flashed. And Drake picked it up.
Hello Drake. It was Anna’s voice. Drake instantly recognized the person from the voice.
Drake was surprised that she was contacting him.
Oh hi, Anna what’s up?
I think I should start by first congratulating you on advancing to 2 star mage. she said.
Drake just shook his head and said, Thank you. I’m still not worth anything in the grand sche of things.
Anna who was speaking from her office at the Obsidian palace nodded and said. I heard from Sylvia and the boys of everything you went through in the Fallen city, I’m very grateful that you took care of them.
Drake smiled when he heard this, My pleasure.
Anna continued. They also told about what happened and how you were dismissed from the Prospective candidates.
It’s no bigie. It doesn’t really bother .
That’s good. But I also called to tell you that, if you like, I could give you a quota for the Grand mage tournant. Obsidian palace also receives a few quotas for anyone we want to send to the Grand mage tournant.
Drake was startled at this. But then he rembered the information he had looked up regarding the Grand mage tournant and he understood.
The Grand mage tournant was a grand occasion that concerned all mages all around the empire, not just the Mage academies. And any and all mages that could qualify, even if they weren’t from any Mage academy were welco to participate.
Obsidian palace itself was a very powerful high grade business establishnt, so it wasn’t surprising that they would receive quotas to send so of their own mages to participate.
Drake shook his head, Sorry, but no. I don’t need one of the Obsidian palaces quotas. Thanks though.
Oh, alright then. But if you change your mind you can just ask and I’ll get it to you. Anna assured him and he appreciated it.
Thanks, but while I don’t want one of the Obsidian palaces quotas, I heard that there’s a preliminary competition going on. I’m more interested in that. Drake suddenly added.
Oh yeah, sure. The Preliminaries start at the beginning of next month. Anna affird.
Drake suddenly asked, How do I get in that?
Anna was startled by the question but she still explained.
If you want to join the preliminaries, it’s pretty simple. All you need to do is register for it at the Arena. But why would you want to go through the preliminaries? Those were set up just for the sake of allowing all mages around the empire a chance at qualifying for the main tournant. But I don’t see why you would want to join the preliminaries. With our quota you can directly skip the preliminaries and get into the main tournant. she inford.
But Drake still refused. No, I want to join the preliminaries. Let’s just say I need the battles. I think it will be good for my growth.
Hmm, well okay then. Anna did not understand it, but did not let herself over think things.
Thanks. Drake nodded.
They spoke a bit more before closing the call.
Drake quickly finished up the rest of his al before returning to his dorm. He walked into his room only to find the Wolff Brothers and the twins lying all around like they were completely exhausted.
What’s going on here? he asked.
