the speech began and everyone in the room including me fell silent.
promptly a gallant looking man stood at the podium looking at us with a smile on his face.
"i think i know very well why we were chosen, we are the creators of legends, always all the great heroes of this vast world, are born from our prestigious school, but as you can see times have changed, the world needs heroes more than ever, the world needs them and that's why this year among others we will teach you everything you need to be the saviors of this broken world."
he swallowed his saliva heavily and watched the entire crowd in silence.
"to be honest, difficult paths await you not only here, once you leave this place you will also be encompassed by problems, it will be difficult but you will come out alive, you will survive adversity, although you always have to keep something in mind among all things, you are the future, that means that if your knees fall, our knees fall, we are on your shoulders, you are our future, from the moment you crossed those doors, your lives are not only yours."
the seriousness in the atmosphere was transmitted in a great way to everyone present, but to me it hit me with greater amplitude, it was clear to me, but I still don't know my role in this place, I don't know what I should do, I need to find out before deciding.
"that concludes the opening remarks."
silently his footsteps bounced in the auditorium while he calmly left the place.
although I did not understand it with great magnitude, I know very well what he is referring to and what he means, it is our duty.
"I am in the right place.
I could not continue doubting, I must mature and face all the adversities that will come my way.
So everyone went to their designated place, since tomorrow morning classes will start, although everything seemed to be going well, I decided to do something simple: train.
In the magic field where they simulate fighting against monsters I got ready to fight with different creatures using the elements, I can't depend on Liliti and Jessica to save me every time, they are my companions but they are not tools, I must be independent in adverse situations, especially if I want to kill the dog.
The simulations started with a spider ape, then a hunchbacked octopus, demonic rats and so on in succession I gave my body no rest and every second I could I switched from one beast to another.
The theory classes covered in the next morning, the weak points of the monsters, the dungeons and how we should always stay away from them, we were also taught different methods in it.
it turns out that by going into a dungeon, you have the privilege over the natural, to return to the designated floor with teleportation, dungeons are naturally created environments, in which different types of monsters tend to appear in them, finishing a dungeon always benefits with growth in skills or some treasures, but over that, if a dungeon goes too long without being tended to, monsters break free of it and create chaos, that's why they should always be constantly guarded.
"it doesn't look that complicated"
despite thinking he understood it, he didn't know much about it, neither did he have any data from any to prove it first hand, so he had to be calm for now.
The theory class progressed with different creatures found in the dungeons, called bosses, they are usually advanced level creatures above natural, sometimes lesser creatures but with a supernatural growth rate.
the trophies found in the dungeons usually range from a legendary grade weapon, to the rarest case a time travel watch, the latter was something strange only one person is known to have used it, the ancient hero of the world many say it was rare, but it was because he lived his life continuously, when he reached the time of his death, he reused the watch and changed the world completely, it was never known for sure what he lived, but one thing is clear, he made an effort to change the world for the better.
Even so the truth behind that will never be known, there are also different legends spoken in this world, legends that seem to me not very rational, even so my goal was set in one of them, in the dungeon of the dragons, it is known that the last hero who reached the top saw the book of Thoth but could not bring it with him because the guardian, the head of the floor is the primordial dragon of the heavens, an entity close to god.
Still, if this is true, that means that with that book and the training of this school he could stop anyone who threatens this world.
"Or even... me dominate it."
I never thought of that, maybe I could be the guardian, but at the same time the dominator, no, no that doesn't suit me, I'll just look for a solution and live in peace, if that's the best option.
"what was that?"
for a moment my mind was filled with thoughts of ruling the world with an iron fist and my parents, where I became something similar to what I want to destroy.
cold sweat began to pass through my body, as the thoughts returned, my head hurts and a voice speaks to me calmly.
"the world can be our master, all you have to do is ask."
I don't know that voice, but it is much clearer than Jessica's.
"who are you?"
