The next day, Kyle wore one of the scarlet uniform he had beef given. He stepped outside and saw Reo waiting for him.
"How long does one take to put on makeup?" Reo commented "You're already coming late on your first day"
They walked out of the dorms and met the rest
"How long does it take you guys to get ready" Luke said
"Ask princess over here" Reo replied.
Kyle looked at Reo but didn't bother saying anything.
"We'll head to class while you go to the principal's office" Silvia turned to leave.
Kyle went the other way to the principal's office. He arrived and knocked on the door.
"Wait a sec" Miya said, opening the door. "Kyle, what are you doing here"
"I was told the principal sent for me"
"Come in" a hoarse voice called out.
Kyle entered and stepped through another door by the side.
"You're late" Duncan said, arranging the papers on his desk.
"Is this the kid you were talking about?" a middle aged woman spoke, her eyes studying Kyle.
"He looks pretty normal to me. What's so special about him" she continued.
"Kyle meet your homeroom teacher, Mrs Stella" Duncan shifts his attention to Stella, "If you think he's normal then you'd in for a suprise"
Mrs Stella squinted her eyes at Kyle once more, "Alright, let's get going" She got up and stretched her body.
"Where are we going to"
"Where else. Class"
.....
"Hey Maya, do you think that he would be joining us today" Claire asked.
"You believe those rumors" Maya responded
"I heard a new student was joining us, they say he's drop dead gorgeous" Freya but in.
"Is that what you're interested in" Maya asked Freya.
"Whats wrong with that".
The front door opened, signaling the class to settle down. Mrs Stella their homeroom teacher enters with a boy beside her.
"Class, this is your new member" she turned to the boy, "Go settle yourself over there" referring to a vacant chair behind Reo.
"Looks like I get to stay in front of princess"
Kyle ignored the comment and came to his seat. There wasn't for Kyle to do since his books were already arranged in his locker.
"Hey, my name is Leo" the boy sitting behind him said.
Classes started off as usual. Other students came to introduce themselves to Kyle, including Diana and Yadel. Everyday Kyle would try to develop his soul world and everytime he tried he would end up frustrated. At night Kyle would venture out to look for the weapon promised to him. A week later, Caesar returned from his suspension.
Months flew by and Kyle started having doubts about the weapon. He had searched everywhere but he still couldn't find it.
Two months after Kyle started attending Stormcove. They had a summoning class, Mrs Stella, the summoning teacher, decided that they were prepared to form a pact.
She took them high above the clouds to a flying island where the council's private forest was, mana beast are usually kept here for research and other purposes.
The Griffin landed at the edge of the island. Stella alighted from the summon "Alright guys, you have an hour to find and form a pact with a beast of your choice. When you hear the horn, you return here at once"
"I already have a summon" Silvia told Mrs Stella.
"You're exempted from today's class since you already have a summon" She placed her hand on the beak of her griffin "The rest of you have an hour to find one"
When they arrived on the island, Kyle felt a tingle in his hand, looking at it, he saw the mark was glowing, urging him into the forest. Kyle we into the woods, the he deeper he went, the brighter the mark glowed and the more the urge grew. He went deeper into the heart of the forest, far away from the rest of the class.
At the heart of the forest, Kyle saw a mana beast. It looked like a lion, with fangs and scales. A white flame covered it's head as it mane. The grey scales tightly interlocked around it's body like an armour. In between it's eyes was a mark similar to Kyle's. 'I thought it would be a sword or something like that'.
The beast saw Kyle but didn't attack, instead it lay down and closed its eyes.
.....
"Go, lay low in Stormcove and wait for your new master to claim you" The dark lord said from his throne.
"Lord, how will I recognize my master" Vaygar lowered his head
"He will bear the same mark as you. He would be different from the rest that'll try to claim you. You'll know it's him when you see him"
.....
'I obeyed my creator's commander. I waited for thirty years to meet my master, someone worthy of my strength, strong enough to weild me. And yet this weak human stands before me bearing the mark. Who is he to dare claim me. I will not bend to someone who's weaker than me. The king of the forest shall not serve a lesser '
Kyle approached Vaygar
"Go away, you human" Vaygar roared "You're not worthy to be my master. I Vaygar, King of the forest shall not submit to a lesser"
