Aliya guided her students towards the place where they would be taking the class today, which turned out to be rather familiar, near the edge of the now frozen lake, there was a tree which Daimon recognized.
It was the place where he ordered Arianna to hang some second-grade students naked, that was probably why even if the view was incredible, no one approached this tree as if it was cursed or something like that
Apparently, they weren’t the only class which decided to come to this place, along the edge of the lake there were two different groups besides them, one of them was the A class guided by their new tutor.
The other group was formed by people who weren’t wearing the badge of the wild claw academy, so it wasn’t hard to guess they were transfer students from the blue-sky academy.
But they were separated in two mini groups, one was formed entirely by humans but the other two were formed by the other two humanoid races of the blue-sky galaxy, alfear and dwarves.
The alfear are said to descend from a race which supposedly lived in the wonder myriad stellar chart in the ancient age… the elves, unlike the elves which are said to have common blond hair and either blue or green eyes, the alfear were born with a mix of brown and blond hair and their eyes were always brown.
Something similar happened to their ears, although they were longer than the ones of a human, it wasn’t the same as the elves of the stories, instead they were shorter and with pointy ends just like the ones of vampires.
They were led by a middle-aged man which had nearly half blond hair a symbol of nobility among the elves, where blond hair meant a stronger connection with their ancestors.
The dwarves on the other hand are were practically the same as the stories, none of the students surpassed the 1.5 meters in height, and their skin tone was tanned by nature, a secondary effect of their unusually high affinity with the earth and metal elements.
Their tutor was a bulky bearded man which seemed to be in his forties, unlike the students he was about ten centimeters taller.
Both the A class, the alfear and the dwarves exchanged gazes with the elite class for a moment, before the instructor of the A class said something to the other tutors and then they simply ignored Daimon and the others.
Irina turned to see Aliya with a confused expression.
“I didn’t know the alfear and the dwarves also came to Lykos, what is happening here Aliya?”.
“Me neither, they probably arrived today… that’s why uncle Boris and instructor Richard were called to the principal’s office along with all the other tutors and high ranked staff of the academy”.
There was a slight conflict between the beast faction and the humanoid races, for example the Revy family and the dwarves had been at each other throats in the field of magic technology.
And the alfear didn’t get along with carnivore races… like the werewolves, the only good thing was that they also didn’t like the Jolbaris nor other races which were related to beasts, luckily, they hated the vampires and undead enough to ignore their prejudices.
That’s why Irina was a bit surprised to see them coming to the wild claw academy, as the class was about to start, two guys and one girl from the Jolbaris family which were members of the A class pointed at Loren.
“Isn’t that Loren… who would have thought she would sell herself just to enter the elite class”.
“Well, her family is at the verge of losing their nobility, so it’s understandable that she looked for a backer”.
“The rumors say the demon was the one who bribed the principal and some of the examiners from the tests, to transfer her to the elite class, just because he wanted to annoy young master Alexander”.
Daimon chuckled, the image of the vice principal from the Jolbaris family flashed through his mind.
“Spreading rumors huh… two can play that game asshole, let’s see who laughs last”, he thought as he played with his storage ring.
Calvin looked at Loren who had an angry expression and he patted her shoulder.
“Don’t pay attention to those assholes and that ugly bitch, she is just jealous that her talent is so poor that even Alexander didn’t take her as his lackey!”.
Calvin didn’t bother to control his volume, so his insults were heard by all the presents, including the A class, the alfear and the dwarves.
…
Silence fell in the place, until the ones who were insulted took a few steps ahead of their group and shouted, especially the girl whose gaze was poisonous as she yelled at Calvin.
“You are the worst ranked among the elite class, so why are you acting so high and mighty”.
“I challenge you to a duel, when you lose, your position will be mine and then I will be accepted in young master Alexander’s inner circle”.
One of the two boys even challenged Calvin.
Aliya saw things were getting out of hand and she looked at the tutor of the A class.
“Tutor Lamber, control you students they are interrupting my class”.
Ramon Lamber frowned his brows, he took the position of tutor for the A class after his older brother Syrus Lamber was promoted to supervise the new elite class, so how could he be bossed around by a magicless girl.
“Well, well, well… if it isn’t “miss Aliya”, since when a teacher can order a tutor what to do?”
“Besides it was your student the one who insulted mine, so why should I reprimand them, send that ruthless brat to the disciplinary council before I do it”.
Before Ramon could continue spouting more nonsensical stuff, he felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on him, when an indifferent voice made its way to his ears.
“How curious, my memory must be failing me, because I remember your students badmouthing my classmate first”.
Daimon who was playing with Aisha, glared at them as he spoke with a relaxed expression, but no one believed he was as calm as he appeared, the students of the A class still remembered what happened the last time someone interrupted his time with his “sister”.
The same girl that insulted Loren before gritted her teeth before she mustered her courage.
“That wasn’t an insult, I was just saying the truth… others might be afraid of you but I’m not going to be so easily intimidated by someone who won’t be the first ranked for too long!”.
Irina was getting annoyed by the current situation, she wanted to see her beloved daughter studying and then all this happened.
“Since it has come to this let them solve their differences in a duel, let’s end it quickly so that we can continue with the class”, she said.
Daimon was about to step ahead to take on the other guy which insulted Loren but Aisha stopped him from doing so.
“I will close that bitch’s mouth; you just enjoy the show”.
Daimon shrugged.
“Fine, I will stand aside this time”.
Michael also walked until he was standing next to Calvin, there were two guys after all so another challenger was needed.
“Aisha is right, we can’t have you dealing with these small fries after all”.
After the situation with the fire djinns all the other students didn’t want to feel useless anymore, although they knew Daimon was out of their league for the time being, that didn’t mean they were weak.
Aliya sighed.
“Fine but don’t take long…and don’t take things too far”, she said as she looked at Aisha, last time Daimon half killed someone and she didn’t look uncomfortable at all, so it was obvious she was also merciless with others.
Calvin, Michael and Aisha walked towards the frozen lake, there wasn’t a platform here, so the ice will function as the platform for their duels, the opponents followed them not too long after, the girl who insulted Loren stood in front of Aisha and the other two each faced Calvin and Michael.
Since Boris wasn’t here, Irina took the place of the supervisor on the side of the elite class, while Ramon did it for his students, in case something happened they could stop the duel.
“Start!”, With Irina giving the green light everyone started their respective fights.
Calvin craned his neck and simply walked towards his opponent.
“What a fool”, thought Harris Jolbaris, his body suddenly covered in electricity which was shot towards Calvin with the intention of frying him.
But then his eyes widened as his lightning hit Calvin’s body just to be dispersed without hurting him at all.
“Impossible, I’m part of the main branch why is he isn’t affected by my beast lightning!”.
Calvin sinisterly laughed as he rushed towards Harris, when he was nearly one mete away from Harris, his fist covered in rock.
“Aghh!!!”, Harris screamed when Calvin’s fist landed on his arm dislocating it in the process and sending him flying a few meters away.
A rock hammer formed on Calvin’s hand, before Harris could give up, he threw it hitting his face with it.
The result was a bloody mess and a few teeth flying from his mouth.
“That will teach you to keep your mouth closed when you are in front of the young master of the Ghrish family”.
Ramon clenched his fists seeing the fight ending so fast, what he didn’t know is that Calvin got too heated and finished earlier than what he wanted, because he was furious.
