Chapter 10: Knight academy

Ren alongside Valdel and Lara headed towards the knight Academy. While walking towards the knight academy Ren's two companions kept on being amazed at everything they saw. It took a few minutes to reach the knight academy since the three got lost for a bit in the confusing streets of Grenton.

When the three finally got to the front gates of the academy, they saw there was a man who looked bored while waiting at a table that was labeled registry.

Valdel nervously approached the man. When the man who was at the table saw Valdel approaching, he started to assess the kid before him. The armor the boy was wearing is old and cheap. It barely functions as armor it would've been better if he simply didn't wear it. Next was the way he carries himself, even though he was obviously nervous his walk was still firm, and his body language indicated he was ready for an attack at any given moment.

The kid had finally got in front of the table. "Good day sir. I'm here to register as a student." Valdel spoke nervously because for some reason being in front of the gates of the knight academy made it feel so real. At first, he was just saying he wanted to become a hero, now the first step to becoming one was really about to start he felt very nervous.

"Wait a minute kid, I need to look into something first. So Just stand there." Even though Valdel was confused by the man's instructions, he still did as he was told, and simply stood there with a straight back.

The man took out some glasses given to him by the academy's principal. These glasses were special as they gave the wearer the ability to gauge another's mana capacity. When the man looked at Valdel with the glasses, he saw an enormous amount of mana within him.

This level of mana was the same as a veteran knight who has been in real battle for ten to fifteen years. Yet this kid who was clearly sixteen years of age had the same amount of mana as a full-fledged knight with experience.

While the man was being amazed by Valdel's capacity, at the corner of his eyes he saw another glow of mana, but there wasn't anyone there. So he turned his head to look to his right, what he saw almost made him stumble backward.

Right in front of him a few meters away stood an average looking boy who was standing beside a beautiful girl. The girl beside the boy was also exuding a mana capacity that was above average, it was lesser than Valdel's but it was still more than enough to become a student in the knight academy. Yet that wasn't what surprised him, the thing that surprised him the most, was the average looking boy.

If the glasses the principal gave him weren't malfunctioning, then that average looking boy was a monster disguised in human flesh. The mana he was exuding covered the whole area he was in. This mana capacity of his outclasses even the principal of the knight academy, it was at the level of those captain class knights.

Ren who saw that the man was peaking at his mana capacity decided to scare him. He then stopped suppressing his mana for a bit. The moment he did so, the man's glasses lens cracked and shattered. The man surprised by the shattering of the lens stumbled backward.

Valdel who was told to simply stand there, hesitated a bit before deciding to help the man, even though it went against his instructions.

"Are you alright sir?" Valdel extended a helping hand to the man that fell backward. The man who was shocked a moment ago stood up with enthusiasm.

"Yeah, I'm alright, here write your name on this paper." The man gave Valdel a registration form.

"How about the two gold coins? Should I pay now?"

"Huh?... Oh that, no need to pay the entrance fee, also there is no need for you to take the entrance exam. I the sword instructor of the third years, Julius Verton acknowledge you as a student of Reschbeauch's knight academy. School will start in the morning two days from now, you can come back by then. Here is the badge that signifies that you are a student. Also-" After handing the badge to Valdel who was still shocked by his sudden acceptance. Julius started to walk towards Ren and Lara.

"Do you want to become a student of Reschbeauch's knight academy? If you join, you won't need to pay for anything, similar to your friend over there. Of course, the lady can become a student as well."

"Not interested," Ren answered without delay. This shocked Julius since he wasn't expecting to be rejected. Usually, it was he who rejects people from entering the academy.

Valdel who had heard Julius's offer to Ren, quickly run towards him.

"Ren, why didn't you agree? You could become a knight like me! It's going to be free as well, so no need to worry about the gold coins."

Hearing Valdel back him up Julius nodded at everything he said.

"Val I already made up my mind. Didn't I tell you once before that what I seek is something different than what you dream to be. You have your path to follow and I have mine. Don't worry even if I don't join the academy I can still help you in my own way."

When Valdel remembered that conversation they had long ago, he could only sigh and reluctantly agree to his best friend's decision. Julius, on the other hand, didn't want to give up.

"Wait, how about just coming to school once a week. No need to attend classes all the time, you just need to attend any class you want one time for the whole week." Seeing Ren wasn't moved by this statement, Julius up the ante.

"If you don't like to attend once a week, we can make it once a month. Also, all the meals will be free. Not only that if you graduate you will become a knight, and then you will gain a noble title."

"As I said, I'm not interested." Even with all the perks, Ren still didn't change his answer.

"Wait here, I will call the principal. You just need to talk to the principal." Julius was getting really desperate. It was so different from the indifference he displayed in the beginning.

"Can you even understand what I'm saying? I'm not interested... Let me make this clear to you, even if you give me all the treasures in this kingdom, no matter if I talk to the king himself, I won't be changing my mind."

Hearing what Ren said, Julius was going to say something more, but before he could do so the trio run away. The speed that they used to flee the scene, made them look like they disappeared; but Julius saw through their movements, as they jump upwards onto the roofs.

'Fine even if you escape me now, I'll slowly convince your friend to make you join the academy.'

...

Ren who alongside Valdel and Lara were jumping from roof to roof was slightly irritated. Ever since he left the village all the other humans he met were irritating. First, there was the noble liar, next were the lustful guards, now it was a pushy knight.

At this point, he was sure he was going to be irritated at the people in the adventurers guild.
