The Conquerors Path

Chapter 222-Academy(2)　　".....and so I will be with you guys the following year, so please take care of me"

I said as I smiled at my fellow classmates, right now I was standing in front of the class as I introduced myself, right after entering the class I had caused a small commotion, everyone was reacting for having me as their classmate, I was after all the most wanted person in well the academy right now.

Well, how can I not be? when the academy was calm, I came along shaking it to its foundation, right now I have a faction under me that was growing in power, many after seeing my power wanted to join my faction but strict conditions lay before which they could join my faction, making many sighs in losing the chance before,

"Austin, please take a seat"

My teacher Loren spoke as he tried to calm the situation in the class, I gave him a nod as I walked towards the empty seat, it was right near the edge of the class, beside me there was a good looking red-haired and eyed boy with dark yellow skin and a third eyes on his forehead, he was a demon, while in front of me sat a bob cut haired girl with black hair and red eyes, her ears were pointed meaning that she was an elf,

"Hi, Nice to meet you"

I said as I gave the red-haired boy a handshake, he nodded and smiled as he shook my hand,

"The name's Arwik, nice to meet you too"

"So which teacher should I be careful of?"

I asked him with a smile, hearing my question he smiled as he spoke in a whisper,

"Teacher Loren is quite strict on his own but you have to be most careful of the old hag Janeen, she's quite ruthless with her punishment"

"Is that so? I will keep it in mind"

Saying so I started to have some aimless talk with Arwik, he seemed to be the calm and cool type as he talked with me at a normal and fun pace, the easiest way to get close to your classmates is always to talk shit about the teachers behind their back, especially if they are not well-liked, soon minutes later I was having an amiable talk with Arwik, during this time I also did have some talk with the girl in front of me her name being Holly.

She's quite the shy type, though talking with her was fun, the other thing that I learned about her was that she seems to have a small crush on me, that was something I derived from seeing her being only shy with me but I have no interest in being with her, she was indeed pretty but I have a yandere girls awaiting me and I have no interest to further the bomb that is waiting to blast any day.

From there on the classes were normal, most of the things taught were of little value to me, hell I was even stronger than the teachers, so all the things that I heard went from one ear to another. Soon it was time for the break and as soon as it did I was surrounded by several students wishing to make a connection with me.

I didn't push them back as I talked with them calmly, dealing with each issue with grace and nobility, right now I wasn't just Austin but Austin Lionheart, hence I needed to react with the ways that carry the burned of the title. Due to my being amiable to talk to I was able to create a good image among my classmates, they had asked me if I wanted to dine with them to which I politely declined.

Leaving them be I headed through the corridor, walking along I met some of the people belonging to my faction, they stared at me as they started to walk by my side, anyhow tomorrow morning I would be attending the meeting with the crown prince, it's important that things go well, after all, he is going to be the leader of one of the two demon Empire.

Though the fact that he likes my sister is another thing. After my so-called 'rise' I started to have several powerful individuals in the Academy who want to meet me, till now I haven't responded but I think its time that I start to expand my network in the Academy, its not good having only enemies, 

"You guys can leave me I will be heading to the archery club"

I spoke to my followers who nodded their heads as they all went their way, it took me a while to reach outside of the 18th year block, after all the entire Seth block is like a district where each is divided into each year, each segment of it is huge, walking my way I started to think about the archery club, it was a fairly new and hadn't earned that much of a name.

Normally I wouldn't give it much thought but I did promise to Eleanor that I would make Archery shine the brightest in the academy, its the least I could do after all that she had di for me, plus it would be a good point on my skills when Eleanor would release to the world that I am her successor.

Passing through the travel gate I reached the section where most of the clubs are located, walking through this area I could see several people handing out the prints for their clubs, with several of them showing off their skills and ability, in here each club has its own rank, the better you score in the all ranking club war the more resources you could gasp.

This is the place where people with the same passion come together to discuss their interests as they grow strong together. There are different types of the club based on profession, some for magicians being all outburst club, magic circle invention club, a club for large scale magic destruction, and many more.

There's also the close combat club, weapons club, blacksmithing club, and many more, each and every club represent the passion of the past, the footsteps of our predecessors live on in these streets, many new inventions and discovery had taken place here, the area itself is a representation of history.

I walked calmly through them as I saw different students gather together as they laugh and talk about their points of view, huge and sometimes old buildings of the past were scattered here and there, most of them were renovated to meet the current needs, passing by all this I arrived on a moderately big building, it didn't have any high-level arrangement and the number of people walking through here is also less, on the top of the building held a sign,

[Archery Club]

And above the sign, there was even a small but eye-catching statue of Eleanor, the founder of the path, seeing it a smile came to my face as I entered inside the building where another huge statue of Eleanor holding a bow to shoot stood, with just this, I could tell how much these guys worship her, heck there was even some bowing when they walked by her statue.
