Revenge of the Son of the Nobles

Chapter 13: The Opening

The first day of the academy's educational program began, the entire disciples lined up in the academy's large hall, the Head of the Academy who was an Imperial Military General Leidengard gave a welcome to everyone present at that moment.

Delegates from various countries also attended the opening ceremony of the academy, a speech from the General of the Military or we call it the Head of the Academy to burn the spirit of students who are relatively young.

Motivation and appreciation are unceasingly hurled by the Head of the Academy to all learners without directing his remarks to a certain badge class, he said, it strengthened the confidence of the disciples with low badges of the academy's principles without discrimination.

After the Head of the Academy gave a speech, one by one representatives from other continents also gave congratulations, saying, it seems that one academy is built on every continent to forge all young talent on every continent to be ready to face their enemies in the future.

The best students of any badge class are welcome to come forward to greet the audience, starting from the bronze badge represented by a student named Gerrard Jagger, an ordinary folk whose parents were traders. The representative of the silver badge was Alfonso Notaras Chevallaire who no longer needed to explain his background.

The most anticipated was of course the golden badge representative, applause and boisterous exclamations immediately filled the hall as soon as the representative figure climbed onto the podium. He is the Prince of the Kingdom of Zirae Levanto, Adrian Cornivus Duterte.

Alex and his other roommates stare at Adrian with their mouths agape as his name is called, Adrian just put on a smug smile and immediately advanced to the podium and gave his welcome speech which began with applause and ended with a standing ovation as well.

"Crazy! It's the King's son, so the best student in the best class anyway, the guy like that how to try." Tapping someone behind Alex, made some students laugh stifledly. Alex turned to the source of the voice and saw a teenager about sixteen or seventeen years old with black hair and gray eyes, on his left chest embedded a golden badge, from his appearance there was no doubt that he was the son of a great noble.

Some of the disciples reprimanded him because his words just now could be misunderstood and a little offensive, but he just laughed as if his words were nothing, 'Surely this big fellow's son', Alex's inner self.

Alex and the boy's eyes were fixed, and he smiled kindly towards Alex, his nature was quite witty seeing that he seemed to be a child of great nobility.

Adrian came back to his place, suddenly Alex's ears were buzzing hard enough to make him jump in shock, - That person is the younger brother of the representative of the silver class, his name is Ferdinand if I don't remember it wrong

Alex was surprised, Adrian's voice seemed to pop into his head just like that, but he saw no sign of Adrian's mouth moving in the slightest, "Adrian seemed to have the ability to telepathize my master." One of the fairies explains to Alex what just happened.

- Don't be confused, this is one of my abilities. Oh, I can't read your mind, so just calm down

It seems that what the fairy said was true, Alex became curious about what kind of ability Adrian had. The loudspeakers were knocked, all the disciples refocused forward, on the podium now stood a person with a neat appearance, his face depicting a smart and dignified person.

"Previously. Introduce, my name is Savier Einvus Folgrant, I am the person entrusted with compiling the curriculum of the academy education. Even though I feel inappropriate, but how else." The man named Savier fixed the position of his glasses.

Alex grinned at Savier's last sentence which seemed to be bragging in style.

"I'll pass on one academy decision that I'm sure you all don't know yet," he continued, "As we all know, the students in this academy are divided into three classes. Bronze badges, silver badges and gold badges, where the gold badges contained the students of the highest quality today."

"But of course it feels a little unfair, don't you think?" Savier stared at the line of disciples with silver and bronze badges, they were silent, but seemed to agree with his remark, "Then from that, the academy made one badge ascension system."

The sentence just now was immediately greeted with a roar from the students who whispered, some were happy, did not accept, even some found this system very interesting. Adrian and Ferdinand are one of them.

The smile on Savier's face grew wider, "That means, with some consideration and evaluation, you guys who originally wore bronze badges can go up to silver badges and even to gold badges."

The hall was getting excited, even began to sound various calls, ranging from the call of protest to the call of enthusiasm. But Savier didn't care and went back.

"Of course with that consideration and evaluation, a person with a gold badge can go down to silver, or even bronze. I'm a little reluctant to explain it in detail, but the point is, you guys should always do your best. So, thank you."

Savier descended from the podium regardless of the commotion that began to occur, the disciples who did not accept exclaimed as they pointed at Savier, some even swearing at him. Most of the protesting disciples were disciples with silver badges, while the majority bronze badges looked delighted until the students pranced themselves with joy.

The golden badge line was silent, although some had called out in protest, but another fellow disciple of the golden badge immediately calmed them down. It could be dangerous if their powers were released here.

"The gold badge is not something you can just get, you don't have to worry." Ferdinand also calmed the golden badge disciple. "How can you be sure!? Obviously the glasses said that they could lower us to a low rank just based on that bullshit evaluation!" Excited one of the golden badges.

"Any one of them can surpass us in strength?" The short sentence of someone made them speechless, he was a young man with blond hair and green eyes, "Your Majesty, I agree with you too." Ferdinand put up a respectful attitude towards the man, "Stop Ferdinand, we don't carry our surname here." That person was unmistakably the Crown Prince of Vasilius, Theodore Edgard Khalinos. Alex looked at Theodore in disbelief, he was completely similar to him, other than the color of the eyes.

"As long as we don't relax and get lazy, we won't go down to the silver badge. As for them, even if they train to half-life though, it will be very difficult to reach our level." Theodore continued, he was completely charismatic, until he could cool the head of the gold badge disciple that had exploded.

Alex feels Theodore looks more like a son of a king when compared to Adrian, maybe it is also due to the differences in the system of government of their country, where Vasilius is the Kingdom with the feudal system, zirae Levanto is a republic.

- He is very conservative, his style of speech is like the fathers, my body is amused when I see people like that

Adrian's voice again appeared in Alex's head, he only grinned after hearing it, Adrian his man was too relaxed for the size of the son of the ruler of the country.

"That word that Mu-I mean, Theodore, is quite reasonable, so we don't have to think too much about it. As Savier said earlier, we just have to do our best." Responding to Ferdinand, all the golden badge disciples looked calm again, while the silver badge was still noisier.

"All quiet." The Academy Head's voice instantly broke all the commotion, a powerful aura instantly suppressing all of them along with his voice echoing into the entire hall, whereas he did not use a loudspeaker.

"Enough until here the opening of the academy this time, I would like to say a big thank you for the participation and support of all representatives from various parties that I think it is impossible to call one by one. We also apologize when we have shown something that was not appropriate. With this, the Western Continent Alliance Academy officially opened!"
