The breeze that morning was cool, the chirping of the birds as the trees danced to the morning breeze was harmonious, and the morning sun was bright as all these were signs of the herald of a happy day.
The citizens of Obedin City woke up to this happy day.
After working for the past 11 months of the year, and after spectating the graduation tournant that lasted about 2 weeks, the citizens were glad as the most harmonious ceremony of the city was finally here.
Today was December 12th, and today was the day for the graduation ceremony to commorate the graduating students of academic session 508 A.M.
Today was all for the students and they prepared for it. Originally, Ben, Cassandra, and Rex intended to don their current best attires for this monuntal event but Master Fixten took it a step further and took them shopping.
At this point, Master Fixten already given up pretending to not favor Rex. He bought exotic attires for the trio of students to don to the ceremony.
By 8:00 am, the academy was already filled to the brim with family, friends, and well-wishers of the graduating students.
For the first ti in weeks, all the students of academic session 508 A.M were gathered again for this mont that would decide their lives.
Today was a harmonious day, the graduation tournant was over and it took with it all the pressure and competitiveness.
Today was the day that they would enjoy their efforts of the past few years and the students were all smiles. They greeted each other harmoniously as they cherished this opportunity to be together one last ti.
For the first ti in his academy life, Rex experienced sothing different, he was not snubbed by others as he saw his year mates smiling back at him and exchanging greetings with him, everything felt so nice to him.
All of a sudden, he felt that the world around him was brighter.
Unlike Rex and Cassandra who only exchanged smiles and basic greetings with their year mates, Ben took it an extra mile as he enjoyed his life to the full.
"Donut Lord, you're here too? Hahaha".
"Ben, you've started? How many tis…"
"Forget that bro, did you see Spade-lipped Ann?" Ben dragged his one-ti friend along as he chattered on. "I almost couldn't believe my eyes, she looked so stunning today that I thought her for soone else".
"Dressing up really makes girls look so much stunning than reality".
"Umm…, you're right".
"Yeah, I'm right and I know, the girls are just shutting down everywhere, like gosh, I can literally feel my nose bleeding…, damn!"
Ben rubbed his eyes to confirm what he was seeing before he jumped excitedly while waving. "Hey, Perfu freak, how's the ceremony?!"
"Get lost freak!"
"You're welco, haha".
Ben's way was a little extre but scenes like this filled everywhere as the students spent their probable last few hours together harmoniously.
This continued all the way till 10:00 am when the ceremony officially started.
The ceremony was chronologically arranged. The first event on the schedule was the national anthem of the Great Shelters, then the students were officially welcod to the celebrants' seats.
After that, one of the interdiate mystic warrior masters of the academy climbed the podium to read the history of Obedin Mystic Academy.
This was perhaps the most boring part of the whole ceremony as during the 30 minutes, so well-wishers were spotted dozing off.
After that ca the special performances. Junior students ca to show off their skills before their seniors, not just fighting skills, but skills in other areas like singing, dancing, and script acting.
This went on for an hour as all the spectators were thoroughly entertained. After this finally ca the official parts, it started with the HOD of each battle departnt giving a final speech to his graduating students.
Master Fixten was the HOD of the sword battle domain departnt, and while the other HODs addressed their students, he also addressed his.
Master Fixten's speech was concise but inspiring.
"Well, today I won't bore you to death with useless theories".
"All I want to say to you guys today is that you all did a good job, the past 5 years of your life had been well spent, and for that, congratulations!"
"You beca better persons, you beca better warriors, you beca adults, and above all, you beca better swordsn".
"My parting word with you today is a quote by the legendary Sword Saint, Legendary Mystic Warrior Miyamoto Musashi who is one of the greatest mystic warriors to lead us into the age of awakening".
"-A distracted swordsman is an uninspired warrior-".
"Always rember this".
"Well, that's all, congratulation guys!"
"Enjoy your day!"
Once Master Fixten concluded his speech, the swordsman students were sent into a frenzy as they sang his na aloud, they all respected him a lot.
It was during the commotion that soone unexpected approached Rex. After a lot of hesitation and deliberation, Turan approached him.
"Hi". Turan waved.
"Hey". Rex reciprocated as Cassandra instinctively gave her friend so distance, Turan was appreciative of that as he nodded at her.
Turan stared at his frenzied coursemates for so ti before he started a conversation. "So, how is your day going?"
"Cool I guess, I've been enjoying it so far".
" too". Turan smiled. "You know Rex, I've always wanted to et you after our final battle but we never got a chance".
"First, I want to thank you for the opportunity of the finals. You made realize a lot of things and I'm glad, you made beco a better warrior, I improved more in that battle than I've done in 2 years and I'm grateful".
"Thank you, Rex, I really appreciate the opportunity".
On hearing that, Rex was surprised but he soon recovered as he laughed. "Ironically, I feel like thanking you too, I improved a lot after that battle too".
Turan laughed at that and as he laughed, he realized sothing. "I think I kind of understand the principal now when he said the battle was ant for the both of us to push each other into becoming better mystic warriors".
"It did push us to beco better warriors". Turan suddenly extended his hand to Rex for a handshake. "It was nice battling you, Rex".
"You too, I look forward to more spars in the future".
Turan smiled then they finally parted ways.
