As soon as I saw my sword, I couldn't hold back my excitement and it just slipped out of my mouth, "It's amazing!"
Then Steven said, "It's designed like a katana. I used that crystal in it, so it matches your power level. the more stronger you become , the stronger this sword will be."
He continued, "I used strong black steel for durability, made it very sharp, and also light, so it will be easier for you to use."
I thanked him for everything.
Then my sister appeared from behind. She didn't want me to leave, and she started crying. I told her, "Rim, don't worry. I will come to see you."
Steven also said to Rim, "He will come to see you. And after a few years, you'll join this academy too."
Rim looked a little happy. I said goodbye to both of them and started leaving. Steven muttered to himself, "Louis, your boy has grown up… and he's smart too."
When I reached the market, I saw many carriages going toward the academy.
Then I checked my pockets and realized I had no money. I thought I would have to run there.
I focused my aura in my legs and jumped forward at full speed. But then I realized I didn't know the way. I took out my map. According to it, I had to go east, but I thought I could take a shortcut through the forest.
Running at full speed, I suddenly heard a girl screaming. I ran toward the sound.
When I arrived, I first tried to understand the situation. Some bandits were trying to attack a boy and a girl. I was about to draw my blade when the boy cast a fire spell and killed one bandit. Then he disappeared in front of another bandit but reappeared behind him and knocked him out with a kick. I was impressed.
Then he used a water spell to create sharp knives and killed some more bandits. The leader of the bandits got scared and tried to hit the girl with a stone, but I cut his hand with my blade. He screamed in pain.
I came forward and said, "This is wrong. You are eight people and still losing to two kids?"
The bandit leader came at me with his sword, but I didn't waste any time and cut his head off. All the bandits ran away.
The girl came in front of me and said thank you. I said, "It's nothing."
She told me her name was Lyra Moir, and the boy was her younger brother, Ray Moir. Looking at Ray, I immediately realized he was strong.
She told me, "You are the new admission at Stormhaven Academy." I nodded.
On the way to the academy, she said, "This is a very big academy in Norvia."
I asked, "Norvia?"
She looked at me and said, "You don't know? There are seven continents in this world. Each has a name. We live in Norvia."
I thought to myself, today I learned the name of my continent.
Ray said, "If you are only physically strong and foolish in mind, you are a hollow person."
I got a little angry hearing that, but Lyra hit him lightly and said, "He helped us, don't talk about him like that. My brother is a little foolish, let it go."
Then she told me the seven continents:
Eldorvia
Norvia
Braven
Frostralia
Kelvrin
Morveth
Altheria
By the time she finished, we had reached the academy.
When I saw it, it was huge and magnificent, like entering a palace. I just kept staring.
Lyra said, "It had to be like this. This is Stormhaven Academy, the best academy in Norvia."
