Revenge of the Son of the Nobles

Chapter 16: The Evaluation

"The boy named Desmond was really interesting" the Head of the Academy said after seeing the fight between Alex and Desmond, "If only he had fought Brenda, maybe we could have seen a more interesting fight, he said, Alex just playing with her." One of the Instructors responded, The Head of the Academy looks to agree with his words.

"In this way, we finally know that even among people with the power of light, there is a difference in their strength." Savier joined the conversation, "Maybe in the future we have to make a new level, because even between the golden badges there is a big difference in strength" he continued, The Academy Head and Instructor nodded in agreement, "We will discuss that in the meeting with the Academy Board, now we better review the fight just now. What do you think, Savier?"

"If Alex and Ferdinand were to fight, it would be more interesting, unfortunately we would choose a student without considering the type of strength" Savier said, "But Theodore actually had the potential to be balanced against Adrian" he said.

"What about Adrian himself?" The instructor asked the question, "Adrian is too broken, I don't think at the moment any of the kids are capable of defeating him," Savier replied, "Basically, he's a fighter as well as strategically talented, people are said to be on par with Theodore, even since before they received the power of light" he said.

"Then why would Theodore lose if they were equal?" The instructor asked again, "Obviously because of the difference in their light-force type, Theodore's power type was an increase in physical strength that increased speed, clearly not comparable to Adrian's power," Savier said, "If only Theodore could have been faster until Adrian could not react, maybe he could have given a more fierce resistance to Adrian." The instructor and the Head of the Mangosteen Academy heard Savier's words.

"Yourself how is Instructor Derrantes? Seeing your daughter getting beat up by Ferdinand. I don't think it was a pleasant experience." The instructor who turned out to be Brenda's father chuckled, "Honestly that was so horrible, didn't you hear me yelling that out? But thank God the student handled Brenda's wounds, I owe him."

Savier rubbed his chin as if trying to remember something, "If it's not wrong, he's Raymond Brigantine huh? Alicia Brigantine's sister." The Head of the Academy nodded in agreement, they are brothers who both receive the power of light.

"I was quite amazed by the initial evaluation report that said he could heal a wedge wound with his strength, but seeing it for himself was more admirable, moreover it wasn't just a wedge wound." Said the Head of the Academy.

Savier and Instructor Derrantes nodded in agreement, the person with strength like Raymond would certainly be a great help in the future, "Then, what about his sister?" Instructor Derrantes asked Savier, he fixed his glasses before replying, "He has the same type of strength as Theodore, only more of an increase in physical strength than an increase in speed."

"The increase in physical strength huh, surely his strength was as unreasonable as Theodore's speed. What is Alicia so strong?" The Head of the Academy asked, Savier chuckled softly, making the Headmaster and Instructor Derrantes look at him in confusion, "He threw the fully charged Man-O-War from the mainland into the sea like throwing a toy."

...****************...

Alex opened the door of the room, as soon as he stepped in, a bucket of water fell on his head, making his clothes drenched.

"YOOOO!" That's Alvaro's voice.

"The person who defeated Desmond used water, could not avoid the bucket filled with water! Gokill!" It's Anford.

Alex took off the bucket that covered his head, he saw Anford and Alvaro who were laughing out loud, even they did tos in front of Alex, while Adrian sat on his bed laughing giggling. It seems that Adrian dropped the bucket with his power, Alex stared at them flat, collecting water that soaked his body and splattered on the floor using the power of fairies, then he doused three of his friends using the water. Anford and Alvaro were instantly drenched, while Adrian held back the water with his strength.

"You guys are starting, don't blame me." He said to Anford and Alvaro who were soaking wet and staring at him, Alex just grinned satisfied to see their expressions, "Not cool," muttered Alvaro, Adrian who still felt threatened still activate his power, so he could not help but give him a chance, just in case Alex doused him with water.

But it turns out Alex went straight to the wardrobe, he changed in the closet and then headed to the bathroom to wash his face, but he had washed his face indirectly. After that he immediately fell on his bed, Anford and Alvaro no longer seen the trunk of his nose, it looks like they are changing clothes. Alex's gaze turned to Adrian sticking his hand towards the floor and the mattress wet from Alex's water attack, he seemed to be trying to imitate Alex who controlled the water particles from the clothes and the floor around him.

"Ah, can't." Adrian gave up, he looked a little sweaty. "You can slam Crown Prince Vasilius like a turnip, but a puddle of water can make you tired?" Alex mocked Adrian who looked troubled, making Adrian snorting annoyed, "The water was composed of very many details, controlling them one by one very difficult to know. Why else bring horseradish? What connection?"

"Nothing, just random." Alex answered, Adrian's experiment made Alex think, if Adrian could control the elements also with his strength, whether he would be as strong as what.

Alex's gaze was fixed on the large pouch on the side of his bed, he didn't notice the pouch when he entered the room, "What is this?" Alex asked Adrian as he opened the bag and checked the contents, "That's another uniform, we will change uniforms every day, the uniform we wear is a uniform for Monday, the rest is in that pocket" Adrian explained.

Alex did not go straight to the room after the class broke up, he first stopped by the clinic to check the wound on his right arm and see the condition of the injured victim. Desmond's condition is not so severe, only bruises on some parts of the body, even he can already joke with his roommate, Alex chatted briefly with them.

Then he also briefly looked at the sleeping Theodore, a doctor was examining his body wrapped in bandages here and there, it seemed that Adrian's last attack was a little excessive.

What surprised him was that Ferdinand was also there, his shoulder was dislocated due to Brenda's attack. He waved at Alex when he saw her, "I watched your match against the walking armory, so I want to fight you one day." He said with a friendly smile, Alex just grinned awkwardly, he shuddered in horror at Brenda's condition after dueling with Ferdinand "Nice to not." Afterwards, he was summoned by a Professor to face the Academy Council.

Brenda was in a female student clinic, so she couldn't see her condition, but one doctor said, there were no injuries at all on her body, only that she was still unconscious.

Alex is reminded of the student who healed Brenda's wounds, so he wonders what the name of the man is, his ability is extraordinary, maybe as extraordinary as Adrian, he said, although it is amazing in other things.

On returning from the clinic, he saw the list of academy disciples on the notice board, according to the one written on the board, there were 50 gold badge disciples, 200 silver badge disciples, and 600 bronze badge disciples. As he remembered there were about 2 to 3 gold badge disciples in each class, in Alex's own class there were 3 students with gold badges including himself.

Alex opened the six paper bags from the big bag one by one, each paper package written the day he wore the uniform. Uniforms for each day have different designs, Alex immediately moves the uniforms to his closet.

"Hey, Alex. It's dinner time, going to the cafeteria together?" Adrian said as he went to the door of the room, ready to go to the cafeteria. Alex nodded, he caught up with Adrian, Anford and Alvaro who had just come out of the bathroom as well.

"Where have you been?" Adrian asked Alex, opening the conversation as they walked towards the cafeteria. Alex who was reading the academy manual loaned Adrian turned his head. "So I stopped by the clinic for a while, my right arm was injured during the fight against Desmond," he said, revealing his right arm, revealing a bandage wrapped around his right arm.

"Why didn't you take it to the student who healed Brenda earlier? What's his name," Adrian tried to remember, "His name is Raymond Brigantine. Her sister, Alicia Brigantine happens to be my classmate." Alvaro.

"Si Desmond's fighting ability is quite unique yes, but the power of light seems ordinary anyway." Alvaro suddenly changed the topic, very disconnected, "What are your strengths? It could be that someone else's powers are ordinary." Anford kicked Alvaro's leg, made him a little shabby, "My strength is a bit risky if I use it here" said Alvaro, he tried to avenge Anford's kick, but avoided easily.

"Yes, that's why I asked, what is your strength?" Anford asked again, Alvaro still answered with the same answer, making Anford and others more curious.

"Argh! Nevermind! You will know later too! You too, Anford, what are your strengths?" Anford grinned, he took Alvaro's handkerchief from his vest pocket and threw the handkerchief over, making Alvaro exclaim in protest, "Hey! What the fuck do you mean?!" Anford did not pay attention to Alvaro, he slapped his hand that was emitting a white light onto the handkerchief until it split in two.

"This guy! Don't use my handkerchief too!" Anford laughed at Alvaro's angry expression, he seemed to love judging others, "That's a bit too late anyway," Adrian commented, but Anford looked unconcerned, "And he's got a big clothing company, if you want to just take it in the boutiques owned by his family, right." Adrian seemed to have just realized something, then he nodded in agreement.

"Ah, that's ... Uh?" Alvaro noticed something strange on the cut marks on his handkerchief, "Hey, Anford. Why does my handkerchief piece look like this?" He showed the handkerchief piece to Anford. Curious Adrian and Alex came to see, "Well, the edge is charred." Adrian pointed at the former piece on a handkerchief that looked charred.

"I can conduct heat all over my body, not just cut cloth, my heat can even melt iron." Anford is arrogant, but he forgets that he's arrogant in front of the wrong two.

"Interesting, will you try to fight me?" The voice made Anford and his roommates turn their heads, and Anford's face turned pale after seeing who had spoken. Now he's bragging in front of the two wrong people.

Behind them stood a teenager who looked 15-16 years old, gray eyes and jet black hair that was so iconic today, plus a friendly smile that actually looked intimidating. Adrian snorted at the face, while Anford was silent with sweat on his face.

"Ferdinand Notaras Chevallaire." Adrian stared intently at the person in front of him.

"Geez, look who this is, the one who slammed the Crown Prince like a watermelon slam." Adrian scowled at Ferdinand's words, first because Ferdinand's tone was very irritating. The second, 'Why do people compare the Crown Prince to vegetables and fruit anyway?! What does?!' That is the voice of his heart now.

"What's your name?' Ferdinand asked Anford the question, he was shaking when Ferdinand asked, the memory of Ferdinand shooting Brenda in the head with magic still lingering in his mind.

"A-An-Anford." Anford replied stammeredly, Ferdinand looked puzzled because of that, but he didn't really care about it, "I look forward to our duel in the future." Ferdinand said with a friendly smile, but that smile was seen as an evil grin in Anford's eyes.

Ferdinand, who had no response from Anford, shrugged his shoulders and turned to Alex, "You know what? The children of the bronze and silver badges made a vote to determine who was the strongest person in the golden badge based on the fight earlier this afternoon. Well, even though it's only six people."

Adrian seemed interested in Ferdinand's words. "really? So who's first rank?" Ferdinand chuckled softly at Adrian's question, "The one who slammed the Crown Prince was like slamming a watermelon." Adrian's mind screamed, first because he was still the best in the eyes of the disciples. The second, 'again watermelon! What try?!'.

"Who is second?" Alex asked, he was interested too. "There's a debate about who deserves to be ranked second and third." Ferdinand's answer made Alex's friends even more curious ... Except Anford, he still looks scared.

"They're still debating whether I deserve second place, or ...." All eyes were on Ferdinand, "... Or is Alex Collin the more deserving." Ferdinand ended his sentence with applause.

"Huh? Me?" Alex seemed to not believe Ferdinand's words, he who was a commoner juxtaposed with Ferdinand who was the son of a Grand Duke?

"Right, that's why I'm also looking forward to a duel with you. Yes, I'm going to the cafeteria, see you later." Ferdinand said with a friendly smile, then he passed by with his roommates.

"I expected it anyway," Adrian said, "Yes, the result is not so surprising," Alvaro responded, "I wonder what if I duel with Ferdinand that." Said Alex.

"What's wrong?"
