A hush fell over the audience at the brazen display of brutality against the rising star of the «Birch family».
The Examiner who was supposed to ensure "Fair play" finally spoke up ceasing the duel running towards Leon screaming for medical personnel.
As a window appears infront of me
[You have distrupt the Protagonist debut Butterfly effects will happen in the story.]
The Examiner leaves Leon to the medics walking towards me. "You have won Gray Ashcroft no matter how brutal that may be." His voice was measured.
I exit the Arena not bothering to look at the medics attending to Leon. I reach the resting grounds of the Arena. I was leaning against the wall.
I see a Paper plane fly towards me hitting my nose unfolding itself. Written on it with elegant writing.
Come to the Headmaster's office. Don't worry you aren't expelled.
I entered the main hall walking towards the Headmaster's office. I opened the door to the office.
The room was pristine not a single speck of dust was in the room. Books were floating in the air. And sitting behind the table was young kid drinking tea. The Headmaster «Walton Sterling» he looked like a kid but he was around 140 years old.
"Do you want some tea. It's helps the mana circulate better in the body." He was already pouring a cup.
"I'll take it" sitting infront of him. "So why did you bring me here? Am I in trouble" keeping my voice as level as possible.
He laughed
"Trouble? No a political headache Absolutely. The «Birch's» will send enough complain letters to heat the whole academy for winter" he took a sip of the Tea putting the cup down leaning forward.
"You're a fascinating specimen. Zero magical aptitude in your initial test. Enrolled on the academy as a Swordsman due to your Families prestige. Yet here you are executing chantless magic"
"I am a late bloomer"
He stared at me for a long time a knowing smile forming on his face.
"You're a terrible liar. Mr. Ashcroft" he said cheerfully. "But you know what. I don't care."
"You aren't going to investigate it"
Walton summoned a badge that looked like a magic Circle. "Since you won the tournament here you go." The badge floated towards me.
I grab the badge looking at it's description.
"Mark of Ex" [30% increase in mana regen]
[30% increase in magic potency]
"Your class has been determined. You're
placed in Class-Ex"
He waved a Hand dismissively towards the door. "Go on now your classmates are waiting in Aurelia Hall."
I walk out of the room putting on the badge. I stand on the Teleportation platform. Appearing in the lounge of the "Hall".
"Well look who it is" A heavy voice echoed through the room. A boy who looked like a giant more than a human. He had long messy hair. A grin and arms thicker than tree trunks.
He slapped me on the back. I almost fell forward using my magic to stay standing.
«Silas Vert» The giant the person who'll grow to become the 2nd strongest in the continent just before Leon Birch in "Blades of Destiny" original story.
"Names Silas!" He laughed "I saw your match aren't Ashcroft's supposed to be a Swordsman"
I activated Eye of the Appraiser.

"I decided to branch out" I straightened my collar
Another voice spoke up "The barbarian shows his face" a aristocratic voice spoke up from the window seat.
A girl with silver hair and blue eyes sipping tea from a porcelain cup. "Aiselle Graham" The Ice goddess and one of the woman who will become a part of Leon's harem. She was a great character but was butchered for fan service in the game.
[Target: Aiselle Graham]
‹Abilities: Absolute Zero, Advanced Ice Magic, The physique of the north›
‹Traits: Perfectionist, Hard to please, Magic Talent-S, Elegant›
"Aiselle Graham" she introduced giving a slight not. "You must be the Newcomer."
"Gray Ashcroft" i replied keeping my tone formals "And I wouldn't call myself a barbarian just because I ended a fight efficiently" Silas laughed loudly slapping his knee.
shaking his head. "You. I like you Gray."
She took another sip of her tea. "You humiliated the golden boy of the «Birch's» a stupid move. Not to mention your sudden awakening. An Ashcroft who wields magic instead of swords. Rumours will surely fly."
"Rumours are just that" she was fishing for information she was smart ofcourse until she was made into a one dimensional blushing mess for Leon.
Before anyone else could speak a third voice spoke up from the top of the ceiling. I look up. Pitch black hair eyes as black as the void. «Charlia Zane» another love interest for Leon Birch. "I thought it was brilliant honestly" twirling his dagger.
I blink activating "Eye of the Appraiser"
[Target:Charlia Zane]
‹Abilities: Gravity magic, Shadow manipulation›
Traits: Cynical, opportunist, Unpredictable, Physical talent-S, Magic Talent-A
"If you really wanted to make a statement you should have broken his kneecaps." Her voice carried hint of excitement.
"I didn't want to cripple him." I replied smoothly "and the humiliation is enough for me."
She sighed "You aren't any fun"
The doors of the "Aurelia Hall were opened.
A wave of mana entered the room. Making it hard to breath the relaxed atmosphere of the room changed instantly. Silas stopped smiling. Aiselle put down her cup. Charlia fell down from the ceiling landing softly on the carpet.
A woman walked into the room. Her silver hair shining. The Chapter 1 villain of the "Blades of Destiny" «Mazien Terian»
"Alright that's enough mingling, you little monster"
She summoned a blackboard and a Chalk the chalk writing her name on the Blackboard by itself.
"Today's class is about advanced Magic application"
The class streched on till evening. The class was helpful she taught us about advanced magic spells.
I reach my room it was more opulent then my room at the Ashcroft manor. Mana potions were lining the cupboard. Books on various Types of magic were on the bookshelves.
I sit on the bed grabbing the mana potions drinking it. Circulating my mana to form and weave the second circle. My head starts to throb from the pain.
My mana circuits width increase. My skin becomes clearer. My mana ocean's size increases.

My brain floods with information of the fundamentals of Swordsmanship my brain ingraining with them.

A status window appears.
