Revenge of the Son of the Nobles

Chapter 12: The Academy

Alex stood still, his gaze staring straight ahead, several times he was seen gulping, countless times he tidied up the formal clothes he was wearing.

Right now, he was standing in front of the gate of one of the most influential academies in the world right now, an academy established due to the crisis engulfing humanity right now.

On top of that huge gate, was a giant board with a western script that read "Academy of the Alliance of the Western Continent". One by one the students began to enter the gate, passing Alex who was still glued in place.

From their appearance, Alex could tell that they were from noble families or wealthy merchants. Just look at the magic tools and weapons they carry, then look at Alex who only carries a small bag containing books given by people in the village.

All this felt too majestic for Alex who was used to living in a mountain village. Afraid instead of learning and practicing, he was told to become a schoolgirl because only commoners from the mountains.

"WAHHH!"

One pat on the shoulder made Alex gasp and exclaim in shock, the person who patted him on the shoulder also exclaimed in shock because Alex who exclaimed in shock made him exclaim in shock.

"What the fuck are you!?" The high-pitched protest immediately greeted Alex as soon as he turned his back.

"Whats!? It was your people who were shocked!" Alex also does not want to lose, he is contrived to be surprised why the person who even protested.

They exchanged glances for a while, until finally the person who surprised Alex suddenly laughed, making Alex feel strange with him.

"Yes, sorry." The man finally stopped laughing, now he reached out his hand to shake Alex's hand. Still feeling strange, Alex welcomed the handshake.

"My name is Adrian Cornivus, just call Adrian." Alex is not the type of person who is heavy-hearted to get acquainted with new people, but the behavior of this person is very familiar, plus he looks like a noble, it makes him feel a little bad.

"My name is Alex Collin, just call me Alex." The man named Adrian smiled, Alex also knew a person named Adrian in his hometown, although not as handsome as Adrian this one anyway.

"You wanna come in together?" Adrian pointed at the academy gate, Alex who felt he could ride straight away just nodded in agreement.

They finally walked into the academy, Alex circulating his gaze around, he did not stop being amazed by everything he saw. It was as if he had entered a different world, even though he had entered another world before.

The buildings of the academy look very large, some towers look towering high. If no one had said this was the academy, Alex would have mistaken it for a royal palace.

"The building here looks magnificent." Adrian said to Alex who looked amazed, "I used to live in the mountains, of course this is a new sight for me," Alex said, "Eh, right? I also lived in the mountains before."

His words make no sense. Inner Alex, Adrian just seen already found out that he is a noble. With a handsome face and clean look, as well as his hair neatly arranged, who would believe that he came from a mountain village.

In the academy lobby, Alex sees a counter with a board that reads "Welcome new learners". He immediately joined the ranks of students who queued at the door to get room keys and school-gifting equipment packages such as swords, catalysts, and so on.

But just as he was in the queue, Adrian pulled his hand out of the queue. "Why the hell?" Alex is confused by Adrian's behavior, but Adrian hints to Alex to follow him cutting the queue.

"Hey! Can this be?" Alex was a little frightened when they passed by the counter attendants, but they instead invited the two of them to enter directly into the main building of the academy.

Still confused by the situation just now, Alex asked Adrian, "Tok are we welcome to just enter?" Adrian looked at Alex in confusion, "Well, we're in a special class." Alex was even more confused, "Well, how come? What else is that?"

Adrian patted his eel with an expression of disbelief, "You entered this academy without knowing anything?" Alex was still staring at Adrian confused, making Adrian feel annoyed mixed with rage.

"So, why did I suddenly get into a special class?" Adrian's teeth grumbled with anxiety half-dead because of the pride of the person in front of him, "Yes you, me. We are! We are wandering with the power of light!" Bego expression on Alex's face turned into a stunned expression, Adrian relieved because it seems Alex already understands what happened.

But in an innocent tone, Alex again asked, "Why do you know I have the power of light?" Adrian's gaze immediately became empty, Alex's question just destroyed all Adrian's expectations, this time his patience was really at the end. He turned around and walked away from Alex who still looked confused.

"Hey! Adrian! Don't go dong, I don't know where to go." Alex rushed after Adrian who continued to walk without caring about Alex, he walked while his mouth muttered something.

Alex patted Adrian's shoulder, which was patted directly turned and looked at him sharply, "You're a bego or a moron anyway?" Adrian pointed to Alex with emotion, his neck veins until it was clearly visible because of it.

"Eh, sorry. But I really don't know anything." Alex raised both hands, he was a little frightened by Adrian's usual relaxed attitude change so terrible like this. "Don't the academy already provide a guidebook that explains everything in the academy?" Adrian still has not subsided his emotions, it makes Alex start to feel guilty.

But it made him remember something, "True, come to think of it, the waiter who gave me this set of uniforms also included a book" Alex said, "But after that the book went missing somewhere," continued.

"That's ... So, how do you know I have the power of light? Is your power reading someone else's strength or what?" Adrian looks at Alex and points at Alex's left chest, where a golden badge with a map of the world symbol stands against the background of a crossed sword and a pair of wings, a chain was also drawn around the map of that world.

"This is the symbol of the academy, created based on the symbol of the Six Continents Alliance. The bronze badge signifies that you are a regular student who entered the academy through the normal course, the silver badge means that you are specially recruited by the academy. While gold, our badge, indicates that we are the ones who have the power of light."

Alex mangut-mangut hear a long explanation from Adrian, now understood why Adrian can be very emotional earlier, general knowledge of the academy Alex did not understand.

The lobby building and main building are separated by a park that becomes a learning area as well as a place to relax all students in the academy. Alex was again surprised to see it, he had a glimpse of the garden belonging to Count Arnold, and the garden here is as beautiful as the garden belonging to the nobility. 'Crazy, ' inner Alex.

The two of them finally arrived at the dorm building. There, a staff led them to the golden badge dormitory complex that already looked like a high-class inn. As it comes together, Alex and Adrian are eventually placed in one room, they are given two keys each, just in case the main key is lost.

The room for the gold badge has the most complete facilities compared to the dormitory for other badges, in their room there are four separate beds, and, each bed is bounded with a bookcase and study table on which there is a reading lamp, there are four doors on the other side of the room that look like a bathroom.

A staff following into the room, "Each occupant of the room is welcome to choose their own bathroom and responsible for its cleanliness, every day there will be staff who take laundry. At mealtime, you will be joined by students from other badges, but you will get a package of dietary supplements every day, which will be delivered by staff in the morning," explained the staff, "Any question?" continued.

Someone raised a hand, apparently there were already two other people in the room besides Alex and Adrian. "What other badges also got facilities like ours?" The staff shook their head after hearing his question.

"Of course the gold badges get special treatment and facilities, because basically you are the saviors of the future human beings. If there is still a future of course," the staff's last sentence made Alex slightly shudder, "Even it feels like this limited treatment still feels lacking, but yes this is how." Continue the staff.

The whole room nodded, no more questions, the staff gave the last sentence.

"Discrimination and bullying are not allowed in this academy, even if you are different badges and social status, treat your friends like equals. The division of classes using badges will certainly lead to discrimination and division, but it is one of the educational methods in this academy. You are partners who will fight together and work hand in hand to save the world, so we want to see how high your awareness of the meaning of the word 'United'."

The staff withdrew and walked out of their room, one of the room residents chuckled, "Sounds like the academy head's welcome speech, doesn't it?" His other friend laughed when he heard it.

"Ah. My name is Alvaro Balchanes. It's good to see you guys." The laughing man introduced himself to Alex and Adrian. "I'm Anford Nostrada. Hello to you."

Alex introduced himself, "My name is Alex Collin, I hope we can make good friends in the future." Of course Adrian too. "My name is Adrian Cornivus. Come to think of it, everyone in this room has the initials A."

Everyone laughed as they realized, "Right as well. You're Adrian Cornivus Duterte, right? I heard you were recruited by this academy, I didn't think we could room." Anford shook Adrian's hand.

They also shake hands with each other. "Nostrada yes, your family's company is really big, I always see your company symbol on the streets." Anford seemed pleased that Adrian recognized his surname, "It would be very strange if I didn't know" he continued, as if he knew Anford's mind.

"Balchanes, I once used the designer Balchanes concoction perfume, really impressive." Alvaro also seemed proud to hear it, he also shook Adrian's hand. "It is an honor of prince Zirae Levanto to recognize our cheap products." Alvaro almost kneels, but Adrian stops him immediately.

Alex gaped at the words of Alvaro just now. 'Prince? Didn't hear wrong? Zirae Levanto is a republic built on the highlands of the western continent, when he said he came from the mountains ... Uh, yeah not wrong anyway, Alex's inner.

"What about you?" Anford's question was directed at Alex, it made Alex flutter, everyone in this room has an amazing background, not like just a village boy from the mountain.

"The bag you brought looks lousy, your disguise really isn't classy." Alvaro laughed at the bag Alex was carrying, Adrian responded, "He does suck in disguise."

The faces of the three people in the room looked enthusiastic waiting for Alex's answer who began to sweat coldly, he wanted to be honest but afraid, willing to lie is also not good. "Ah, let me guess. Are you Prince Theodore Edgard Khalinos?" Alvaro has a respectful attitude.

But Anford kicked him in the leg, "Obviously his name is Alex Collin, after all I've passed Prince Theodore, they look the same, but Alex is more handsome than Prince Theodore."

'Eh? That right?' Inner Alex does not believe, the village child seems to be suspected by others, where arguably more handsome than the real prince again. He had never seen what Prince Theodore looked like, and now there were people who equated the two of them.

"I'm just someone from the Count's family." Finally Alex replied, no lie anyway, right that brought Alex here Count Arnold Bauved, and was the adopted child of the Count at this time.

"Rice from the Count family. Means not the Count's son's original." Alvaro stroked his chin, Alex's heart stopped beating. 'Campus deh.'

Anford flicked his finger, "Ah! So are you a high noble or noble of a country disguised as the son of the Counts? Pretty good, but only fools believe that shit."

Adrian mangosteen agreed, "It makes sense, but if he doesn't want to admit it, he might have his own reasons." Everyone in the room agreed with Adrian.

'Oh 'lah! Bodo is very.'
