章 4: Elite Magic High School
A few months have passed by since Claude moved in with Alex, the relationship between them can really be called father and son now. Claude continued to work on his studies with Professor Levin and the researcher teams help. Time to time he would play around with some of the students of the academy since they've noticed him passing by as his way home. Claude has fully adapted to his life in the academy.
"Claude, come join us." one of the male students yelled.
Claude quickly runs to them as one of the students picked him up and seated him on his shoulder, "Big Brother, are you playing football today."
"We have a match with Elite Magic High School."
"They're quite strong, they've been in the top three schools during the School Tournament."
"But don't worry, will win this practice match."
Football played by Caster isn't your typical football where you pass and kick the ball around. This type of football requires the used of magic in order to control the flow of the ball and the players can cast magic in order to steal the ball as well. However, the magic spell being cast are limited since they need to ensure no one gets hurt badly or ended up losing their lives.
"Oh look the girls are here already?"
"They're not here for us, anyway."
When all the girls saw that the boys have arrived and brought with them a little boy, they all screamed in excitement in seeing him. "Claude..."
The boy carrying Claude on his shoulder quickly place him down before all the girl brutally tackle and attacked him. The girl quickly grabs Claude as they headed to the stands and sat down as they gave him snacks and drinks.
"Check that out, First High sure has loads of beautiful chicks laying to waste." student from Elite Magic High School said
"Hey, don't be rude." one student from First High said
"What you gonna do about it?" he arrogantly said to him.
"Why you?"
But before he could punch or do something to the guy someone stops him. "Bayle stop it."
He turned around ashamed of his action, "Captain sorry..."
"Forgive my teammate inappropriate action." The captain said as the two of them walked away.
"Such a chicken..." he said
Captain held onto Bayle's hand telling him to control his anger, as they headed back to their side Claude notice Bayle annoyed expression. "Big Brother is something wrong?"
Since Claude notice his depress expression, the girls soon wonder as well.
"Hey, Bayle what happened?"
"Estes, what's wrong with Bayle?"
Bayle felt embarrassed that everyone was worried about him, "Sorry guys, I'm fine... Now I see your all doing well I'm much better now."
The girls giggled hearing Bayle's silly words.
"Come on, Bayle don't be silly and lose the game already."
"Come on First High Academy!" They all screamed
As the match started, it didn't take long for First High Academy to take the lead of the game. They might not be strong individually but as a team they were amazing.
"Big Sister, the big brothers are really amazing."
"Of course, once they focus they really good." Said the girl whilst Claude seated on her lap.
The first half of the game ended with First High Academy leading double the score. Everyone was so happy and those watching the game praised them.
"Capt, What should we do?" he asked
"Let them be, will take the second half from them." the Captain from the other team said
As the second half started, First High Academy was all energetic as they enter the court. But it didn't take long for them to each feel on their knees as the second half ended. Everyone from First High was surprised from the sudden change in the game, who would have thought they'll double the scored as well.
Claude continued to observe the game from the grandstand as he detected something odd with Elite Magic High School.
As the last round begins, Elite Magic High School was showing great control over the game, preventing First High Academy to make a single score.
Claude got off from the girl's lap as he walked over to called the attention of the team coach, "Coach, call for a break."
The coach knows Claude very well and is quite impressed with him as well so he did what he asked, "Time out..."
The team gather around and wonder why the coach sudden called for a break.
"Coach what wrong?" Estes asked
Claude crossed over the bar of the stand to get down as the girls passed him down over for the guys to catch him below. "I asked the coach to call the break."
The team was confused and wonder what's going on. Claude then stood in the center of the team as they gathers around him, "Big Brother, the other team is cheating..."
Everyone could not believe what Claude was saying, Estes got down on his knees to face the young boy, calmly asking him, "Claude, are you sure?"
"Yes, I've notice your energy seems to be draining quite fast during the game. If I'm not wrong, there aren't any magic spell that can drain one's energy that can only mean they are using a device that is draining your energy level. I've read about it before but they only use it against demons so they can easily kill them during battle since demon has tripled our energy level."
Everyone completely understood what Claude was trying to explain, since they've also know about such device and have studied it in class, they all felt furious.
"Technically speaking you'll lose this game since the more you step in there trap the more your energy is being drained, right now I'm trying to find out who's using the device and for what reason? Since it illegal to use such device on human especially without the Association approval."
Bayle laughed after hearing Claude explanation, "Claude, you really are the chairman son."
Everyone nodded there head and smiled in the end as they felt sorry for the other team, to be caught by a little boy such shame for them indeed.
"So Claude what should we do?" Estes asked
"It will take me a while to locate the device, once I located it I can ask one of the big sisters to deactivate it," he said
"You guys leave it to us.." The girl said overhearing everything.
One of the boys then carried Claude up for the girl to grab him back to the grandstand.
"Guy you know the plan, let show them First High Academy true power." Estes
"Let's go!" they all yelled
The other team laughed seeing their determination, they find them foolish as if they are digging there own grave.
As the break ended, what Elite Magic High School expected suddenly turned 360 on them, for some reason First High Academy became more energize and was catching up all of the sudden. The Captain of the team looked around to find out what was going on. In the corner of his eye, he notices a little boy staring intensively at him and his team. Could it be that the little boy has caught them? He continued to watch the little boy and noticed him whispering something to one of the girl's ear, the girl then stood up from his seat and started casting a spell.
"Ah..." the man seated on the bench on the other team screamed as his hand was bleeding from sudden explosion.
"Everyone now our chance..." Estes yelled
The captain from the other team face turned pale as what he thought suddenly turned into reality. How is it possible that a little boy could discover such device when the rest didn't even detect it.
As First High Academy continued to attack, Elite Magic High School soon trembled in fear as they try to defend. But it was too impossible without the device, the other team was suddenly multicasting spells at them and attacking them intentively which was hard for them to counter. It didn't take long for the game to end and First High Academy winning.
Everyone from the grandstand run down to the court to congratulate the team, everyone was in tears as they did not expect such turn in the events.
When the Captain from the other team saw the boy running down the court, he became furious and pointed his hand to him as he cast a spell. But before the spell could hit Claude, one of the girls block it.
"What do you think you're doing?" she yelled at him
"B*tch get out of the way..." he yelled as he cast an extreme spell at them.
Everyone was in a panic and started fleeing for them self. While the rest of the First High Academy started to counter his spell, the boys were too exhausted that they ended up relying on the girls for help. But the guy was just too strong for them.
"Little boy this is all your fault," he said why giving him a dead cold look
When the guy whose hand was wounded from the explosion overheard it was the young boy fault, he became furious and started helping the captain in counter attacking them. The court was in chaos from all the spell casted and soon was covered in ice stone and flames.
"You two stop this..." The coach from the other team said
"Shut up old man," the wounded boy said as he attacked him causing him to bounce off and collapse on the ground. He then got his gun which then boasted his magic as he continued to attack them.
The gun was an Artificial Caster Weapon, it can come in different forms. Unlike real Caster Weapon summoned by true magic they can still be deadly and can cause great harm. These devices are mainly given to those unable to cast strong magic so they can defend themselves against the demons.
One of the students who was wounded also have the same ACW laying around, Claude quickly grabs it and fired it at the guy with the gun. To everyone surprise, Claude aimed perfectly at the man's hand causing him to lose grip of his gun as it flew away from him.
Then suddenly a man flew from the sky and landed in the middle of the battle. Everyone was shocked by his sudden appearance.
"Chairman," the student from First High Academy happily screamed.
Then not long a group of guards and a medical team arrived as well and took the student from Elite Magic High School away. Alex then went over to check on Claude worried from what just happened.
"Chairman, Claude sudden fainted..." the girl said whilst holding him in her arm.
"No need to worry, I'll handle this... All of you go to the infirmary at once, the school will then send each of you home," he explained as he grabs Claude from the girl and vanished from there sight.
As he was about to lay Claude on his bed, he felt relieved as he was able to take him home before anyone sees him. He then tucks him to bed as he went to his office and called someone. "Levin, have you finished what I asked you to do?"
"Not yet why, did something happened again?" he asked
"Yes, so you better hurry it up," he said as he ended the called
At the same time, Levin was annoyed from receiving the call from Alex. He was already bombarded with so many things to do yet Alex was pressuring him.
The next day, Claude woke up from a headache as he headed downstairs. He overheard people voice by the door. It surprises him to see who it was, "Big Brother, Big Sister, what are you doing here?"
Some of the students from yesterday came to visit him, they brought snacks and drinks as they all gather in the lounge.
"Claude are you feeling better now?" the girl asked
"Ashlyn said you fainted yesterday, so we came to visit you," Estes said
"I'm fine big brother and big sister, maybe because it was the first time using an ACW it consumed too much of my energy."
"Claude you were amazing, such a young age and you were able to cast magic. I first cast magic when I was ten." Bayle said
"Claude is not like you Bayle his gifted," Ashlyn said causing everyone to laugh.
Since they saw that Claude was doing well, they all decide to head back to class leaving Claude alone.
"Young Master, did your friend left I prepared your food already, would you like me to bring it out?" Marta asked
"They have..." he said as he shooked his head and followed Marta to the kitchen.
