The sun's rays cast upon a Large infrastructure comprising intricate buildings equipped with state-of-the art learning facilities and a comfortable environnt conducive to education.
The Infrastructure was nestled in the center of a flying island, with an invisible do that encased its grandeur existence.
The Island itself was twice the size of the Academy, with a nearby town, situated at the edge.
The Horic Academy was an esteed educational institution where magic, swordsmanship, political, social etiquette, and connection–building were taught and learnt amongst the students.
It had every necessary facility that could be required for functional learning, and studying, as well as the ans of constructing facilities that the Academy students, precisely the Student Body Council, find necessary and valuable for their growth.
Freshers, or newcors, were usually granted a one week orientation to learn about the facilities, and constructs, as well as the rules, pass recomndations, study tips for mages, practice tips for Swordsn, special lectures for rarity professions for system users…and the likes.
They were also encouraged to learn about their seniors, as well as the Major Prefects and mbers of the Student Body Council.
In general, Horic Academy for the Gifted Children had typical school rules, but it was in fact ant for the gifted and promising students. After all, 99% of students that graduated usually make it above average in life, that is if they weren't capable of aiming higher.
Today was the first day of lecture, when Raph and his two….friends? No, Acquaintances, decided to walk together, well, one-sidedly.
But, at the mont, Raph had begun to realize that he was not going to have a normal school life, at least in this life.
"Umm…..Miss Elsie, was it?" Raph asked, his tone laced with fatigue, while Darell and Jane walked besides him, maintaing a puzzled expression on their faces.
"Elsie! Call Elsie, husband". She humd lodiously, bobbing on his back, her tail wagging behind her.
She clung onto his body tightly, causing a pleasant discomfort to swell in Ralph's mind.
'Wha–What are you thinking?!' He scread at himself, sighing at his lack of control. "Um, yes. Then call Raph". He said, attempting to glance at the girl, when he noticed the surrounding stares.
With a sigh, he turned around and continued walking. It wasn't exactly his fault he was in such a predicant, what could he do about all the hate glares from the boys?
'Freshn, Sophomores and Upperclassn alike, these guys are crazy'. He thought, annoyed by their gazes.
'Why would a guy want to be in my position? This is too much of a predicant! She's a Chieftain's daughter damn it! And her father doesn't even know she's here!'. His mind tried to make sense of their involuntary responses to him.
They now walked down the general pavent, a well kept cented road, adorned with magic stones at equal intervals.
They served purposes during tis of crisis, such as a fire, or enemy breaches.
The boys from his class, and upperclassn cast disapproving glances at him, so snickering behind his back.
It was an amusing sight to see a fresher couple at the beginning of the sester.
The girls, especially the freshers, seed more apprehensive. At least, so of them that had been with Elsie while she had been waiting at the Hostel Entrance.
'Who could have thought'. It seems he has altered another aspect of the future.
'That's one thing to note about'. He thought, putting his thoughts in order.
They were a five minute work to the first building, which was the Cafeteria.
A large hall, with five long tables that were arranged in the manner of their years spent in the Academy.
It was also monts like this that the Headmaster made his first appearance and ca to address the new students.
After that, their first lecture would comnce.
"So, how did you get in?" Raph asked the girl that continued to humming happily behind him. He could struggle to get rid of her, but that would cause too much of a scene. So, he decided to just let things be as they are now. Besides, there was a whole lot of things he could do to make things worse if he decided to try and make this situation less misleading.
"Get in to what?" She asked, her brow raised as she ruffled his long white hair that cascaded down his back.
He had a habit of trimming it in his past life, but he had been too caught up with events at the mont for him to care about it.
"The academy, not just anyone can get in. And it seems like your father isn't aware".
Elisa stayed quiet for a while, her bulging ruby eyes staring blankly into the air as she rested her chin on top of his head.
"Dad's too stubborn. Even after I explained how I've marked you. He kept insisting on choosing soone else as a mate. So I ran away with his sealing stamp to get into the academy".
It wasn't just Raph that got spooked this ti, but Darell and Jane besides him as well, who couldn't contain the urge to say sothing. Their faces were flustered at the mont, from having to work together with the current freshers "first couple" as it seems.
"Tha– If your father asked you not to, then you should have just listened to him".
Raph tried to explain, his words getting caught up in his mouth.
He may have been ignorant in his past life but he definitely knew big shots other than the Great families when he heard one.
Who didn't know about the Darkpelts war against the Red Peacemakers that razed a whole city to the ground in his past life.
The Werewolf tribe were made out of four clans, The Darkpelt, with their major attributes dealing with wind and darkness, the Redpelt, their talents fostered on flas and combustion, the Whitepelt with their attributes dealing with earth and light, and the Bluepelt, their attributes dealing with water and healing.
Of all the current Chieftains, Rickard Darkpelt was known as the King of the wolves, and the only 10th star swordsman within the Beastkin Kingdom.
Most major clan heads of the beastkin had descended from the Son Goku lineage, so they too, were cursed without the System.
"Hmph!" Elsie pouted, turning her head away. "Werewolves are naturally attracted to soone stronger than them".
Her gaze slowly lingered on Raph's, as he turned around to face her.
"You think I marked you for no reason? This is the tribe's culture".
Her voice had turned stern, contradictory to her playful behavior, and her piercing gaze had caused a shiver that ran up his spine.
He turned away imdiately, his cheeks slowly burning red. 'Well, this is a predicant'. Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire
"Hm. Hm" Darell coughed out loud, trying to ignore what he had just heard, but alas, it was more difficult than he realized. "Please, no more of that in public". He muttered, a bright red of embarrassnt etched on his cheeks.
Jane, though, felt an unknown emotion he hadn't experienced once in his life.
"Tsk. Lucky bastard". He clicked his tongue, unconsciously saying the next line without realizing it.
It was only after he noticed their gazes that he realized he had said it outloud.
His eyes flickered in embarrassnt, as he turned away.
"....don't worry. Ciara will see you through". Raph said, breaking the silence. He turned away, barely missing the annoyed expression on Jane's gorgeous face.
A soft chuckle escaping his lips at the sa ti.
The large building, with nurous windows, and arched roofing reminiscent of an opera house, ca into view as they approached it in droves.
Raph's gaze began to scan through the crowd of students, trying to spot any more of his potential group mbers.
Jane, noticing his gaze, sighed, as he asked. "Who else do you want to string into your ploy?"
Raph flinched, turning towards him.
"What ploy?" He asked with a raised brow.
Jane shrugged in response. "Will you at least tell us who you want to be in your club?"
Raph's gaze lingered before he turned away after a mont.
"We need to gather at least seven students, who are willing to form a club, then submit a form with the group of us together at the Student's Council Office".
Darell's ear perked up, a puzzled expression on his face, as he pointed at himself. "We?"
"Huuuh? Would I do it on my own?" Raph asked, raising his voice as he glared at the Elf, who flinched and looked away. "We have four now, including , so we need three more, and I'll handle the rest".
Jane stared blankly into the air, contemplating. There were only a limited number of people willing to abandon the popular clubs for their own, ford by Freshers.
"So, who else do you have in mind?" He asked…again.
"Mariam Aquarius, and Louis La Teur, and I think I have a way of convincing them".
"What about the seventh person?"
"Still contemplating. I already have a few System users in mind who would be useful to our club".
"Oh? You've been snooping around, haven't you?" Jane asked, his brow raised in an arch.
"Snooping or not, I got the information I wanted" Raph ignored his statent, when Elsie pulled his hair.
"Ow, Elsie?" He muttered, looking up at the girl's pouting face. "Wh– What is it?"
"I want in too! Why don't you invite to your club?!"
Raph raised a brow at her response. "Oh?".
