"What? A hound in the practical exam?" Oracle scratched his head. "How did it get there?"
"I don't know, sir... but I will look into it, sir."
"Find it fast. We can't have a situation like that again," he said, fully stressed.
"Got it, sir." Saying that, Richard left the room.
Oracle looked at Astra's student form. "Wow, you really are a genius, awakening at a young age. Let's see where your story takes you, young man."
Astra woke up in the school nurse's office. He lifted his hand up and clenched his fist.
"Oh, you woke up."
He turned around to see the school nurse.
"You were asleep for two days. I fixed you up using my Roh (an invisible power used by people who concentrate on healing), but it wasn't enough to remove the scar."
Astra looked at his body to see a large scar left by the hound. He touched the scar with his hand, then flustered as he realized he was shirtless and immediately pulled the sheet over himself. "Why am I shirtless???"
"Because the injury was located there." Then she smiled. "Nice abs, kid."
Astra got even more flustered. "T-Thanks, ma'am."
"Get some rest before you go back to your class." Then the nurse left.
Astra looked out of the window. "I have been asleep for two days." Then he sat up and shouted, "TWO DAYS?!?!" He tried to get up to go to class but fell down as his body was still not fully healed.
The door opened, and Sylvie entered. She looked confused to see Astra on the ground. Astra looked up and saw Sylvie staring at him. He got embarrassed and quickly got back into bed.
"What are you doing here, Sylvie?"
"She came here because she was worried about you," Hito, who was behind her, replied.
"Oh, Hito. Why are you here?"
"I just wanted to ask you how it felt."
"How did what feel?"
"Your awakening. How did it feel to get Aura?"
"Oh, that." He looked at his hand, clenched it, and then looked at Hito. "It felt... good."
Hito looked at him, disappointed. "That's all?"
Astra looked at him, confused. "Yeah. What did you want me to say?"
Hito slapped his face. "No, nothing at all. You explained it well enough."
Sylvie tugged on Astra's shirt.
"What happened, Sylvie? Why are you pulling my shirt?"
"Don..." she spoke lightly.
"What did you say? I couldn't hear you."
Then she screamed, "Don't hurt yourself again, you dummy!" and started crying.
"Wait, Sylvie, don't cry." He tried to calm her down. "Okay, I won't hurt myself."
Sylvie, full of tears, looked at Astra. "You promise?"
Astra patted her head. "I promise."
"How could you make a girl cry?"
Astra looked at Hito with anger then he silently asked him for help. Hito understood.
He sighed. "Hey, elf, come on, let's go to class. He just woke up. Don't pressure him too much."
Sylvie nodded in agreement, but before leaving, she wrote something on a piece of paper and left, flustered.
"K, bye, King of Vontrea." Hito smirked as he closed the door behind him.
"King of Vontrea?" Then Astra remembered his declaration to become king and got embarrassed. To calm himself, he opened the note Sylvie had given him. 'I will protect you next and Get well soon.' He got even more flustered and fell onto his bed.
After a day...
Astra walked toward his class, disappointed that he could not get promoted to Class A. "Damn, I just had to fight the hound," he muttered, scratching his head. "Well, at least I got Aura."
Someone poked him from behind. He jumped in fear, only to realize it was Sylvie.
"Oh, Sylvie, it's just you."
Sylvie waved hi.
"Want to go to class together?"
She nodded in agreement, and they both entered the class.
At lunch...
While eating, Sylvie asked Astra if he would join any club (using a piece of paper).
"Are you joining any?"
She nodded and wrote on the paper: The hunting club.
"Oh, the hunting club." He thought for a moment. "Then that's decided. I will also join the hunting club."
Sylvie's face lit up, and she kept eating happily. Astra was confused about why she became so happy.
The next day...
At the hunting club's first meeting:
"Hello, new students. Welcome to the hunting club. I am the club's president, Hans."
Astra got sleepy and looked around, noticing Hito in the club. So he is also here.
"I am a third-year in Class A and in the warrior division."
Astra turned to Sylvie. "Warrior division?"
Sylvie wrote on a piece of paper: When you become a second-year, students will be divided into five parts—warrior, archer, mage, blacksmith, and priest.
Astra understood and turned back to Hans.
"We are not like other clubs. All five of you will join five seniors on a trip to a museum of historical weapons to see some good stuff. Do you guys have any questions?"
A kid raised his hand.
Hans pointed at him. "Please ask."
"How does going to a museum relate to hunting?"
"Oh, it doesn't. We're just going for fun."
Everyone stared at him in silence.
"Okay, you will get more information next week during the tour. And before going—no weapons allowed."
Narrator- What will happen in the museum??
