The Conquerors Path

"Austin!"

After Amon two other beautiful girls called my name running up to me, one was a rabbit beast girl with cartoonish pink hair and eyes, her dress tried desperately to hold in her huge breasts that seemed to bounce as she ran towards me, she had a beautiful face matching with her hair

Rina Mareeil or more popularly known as the berserker rabbit, Rina had single handedly crushed the thought that rabbit beasts are weak, techenacilly they still are, within the beast tribes, the rabbit kin's are the non combatant type, they like peace and basically deal with farming

They didn't have any talent for magic or combat but Rina had entered the Babylon Academy through the commoners recommendation, in battle she's a beast that fights without holding back at all, her specialty being speed and craziness, Rina Mareeil ranked within the top 50 of her batch and ranked within the top 100 in combat, at the same time she has ranking in the academic table being ranked 50 in her batch and ranked rank 300 in the whole Academy

The girl running next to her was Sana, a cat girl with black hair and eyes, she was leaned more towards the petite side with barely any breasts, she was more on to the cute side, with sparkling black eyes, and a sense of danger from her

She too entered through the scholarship, with her entry she shook the Academy with her amazing combat sense and her derived bloodline ability shadow control, the assassin instructor of the Academy had quoted that she would one day become a fearsome assassin, ranked within the top 10 of her year and she's ranked within the top 200 of the Academy, the cat tribe and several others tribe had desperately tried to rope in her and Rina but to no vail

"Yo boss"

Alex Ravancio, nick named the 'Devil Planner', ranked number 1 in the academic and military leadership board for both his year and the Academy, he's also ranked within the top 400s in terms of combat, just as he arrived he had shaken the Academy by challenging the number one's of both the board not only that he won!

Alex had disappeared from his baron house when he was 13, leaving behind a letter, later he reappears in the school with a mysterious sponsor at the age of 16, shaking the Academy with his intellect

"Austin~~"

Another girl ran up to me with a smile on her face, she had blonde hair and blue eyes, along with a cute face, her body too was on the petite side, Emma Girol, a girl with great talent in taming and summoning magic, ranked within the top 20 of her age and rank 200 of the whole school battle board, she's also ranked within the top in the academic board too

I smiled at them running towards me as I spoke out loud

"Long time no see..."

"Boss, how have you being?"

"Lord are you okay?"

"Wow Austin you have grown more handsome!"

"My hero how are you?"

As soon as I had finished talking the others soon bombarded me with lots of question, making me dizzy for a moment, I waved my hands for them to stop before I looked at Ella, I cleared my ears with one hand before I spoke to her again

"Um....you were saying something?"

There might not have being the sound of a slap but I could see Ella's face reddening up, Ella was indeed full of shame but more than that disbelief, not only her all those watching were full of disbelief, each and every student around Austin is famous around the Academy

Each of them were wanted by many different powers, each of them had refused others saying they already belong to a group, who would have believed that they all worked under me?, I smiled seeing the look of disbelief on everyone's face, the audience sitting on the stadium to the teacher in the VIP room, all of them were stunned but this was only the beginning

"Where's Mark?"

Hearing my words Emma smiled as she spoke to me

"He's already here"

Hearing that I looked towards were Emma pointed, seeing that I saw a handsome young man with blonde hair and blue eyes walking towards me, his face had a cold look, while a great sword hung to his back, Mark Girol, seeing this man, the stadium became silent

Mark Girol, ranked number 8 on the combat board of the whole Academy, his strength is undeniable, his talent, bloodline and powers are terrifying. a man that was even offered tutorship from a sword saint, he and both his sister had disappeared from the Girol family only to end up coming to the Babylon academy as a rising star, he's the last holder of the 11th ring

Mark didn't respond to the gasps or stares others, his cold face didn't have any fluctuations as he walked towards me, a sense of pressure filled the surroundings as he walked up to me, standing in front of me he did something that shook the stadium, He kneeled in front of me as he spoke

"Welcome back my lord"

Silence....absolute silence filled the stadium as they all looked at one of the strongest student kneeling to another student, in this world nobody should kneel to another just due to power, even when one meets a king, one only has to bow to show respect

Kneeling to another with your own desire means, only one thing.....total subservience, it means that you have given you life and loyalty to the one in front of you, in the case of Mark, since he was a knight, it meant that he had chosen to be my sword, in another words he would put my life above his,

But that was just the beginning, soon the rest started kneeling to me in a circle, this time the hearts of those who saw it shook, be it the teachers, students or those who were watching in secret, all of them felt a chill up their body

I didn't say anything as I stretched out my hand, no words were spoken as Mark put a ring onto my hand

The ring was purple in color with a purple flower in the middle of the ring, I held the ring as I put it in to one of my fingers, soon the Academy at a whole started shaking as 11 huge pillars shoot to the sky, soon different names started appearing on each pillar, at that time I heard a voice

<Name?>

"Austin, Austin Lionheart"

Soon on the purple pillar my name appeared, today the whole of Babylon academy shook to the core..... a new candidate for king had appeared!
