119 The Deva Academy (2/2)
It was nothing like what he had been told as he could see a proper campus that looked to be in amazing condition residing on a hill though there seemed to be a few counterparts to it causing Draig some confusion.
'I thought this place was supposed to be desolate' thought Draig as he saw a line of Deva trainees standing before around a few arenas.
Draig had been told that the Deva Academy was a harsh place where one would have to survive by their own merit and wouldn't be allowed to leave without passing the final test.
As it was he could see there was what looked to be dorms scattered throughout the landscape and none of the Demons he had been told about running amok, hoping to get some answers Draig walked towards the little makeshift arenas.
Upon getting closer Draig saw that there were several students fighting against demons, as he watched one student get defeated he was pulled out before he could be killed and given a rank.
Apparently this Deva Academy had a complete overhaul on the way it had operated previously, shaking his head Draig had to admit he was very disappointed by this. He had expected to have something a little bit reminiscent of Zarra's would be training routine with the criminals.
As Draig continued to watch he suddenly heard his name called, looking around he saw it was an older gentleman looking at his Rapier with contempt.
”Do you wish to enter the arena and show your strength” asked the man though he didn't have high hopes because of the flimsy looking blade.
Draig on the other hand wished to keep his skills a secret for the time being, he didn't know who was watching and he didn't want to draw attention to himself until he had a full understanding of why the Academy had apparently changed from it's old ways.
”I am fine where I'm at” stated Draig getting some jeers for his sake which only caused him to smirk and shake his head.
'It is easier to bring down the known danger's than it is the unknown' thought Draig as he felt a emblem get tossed to him.
”Rank E, there you go. Channel your Deva Energy into the Emblem and it will show you to your dorm where you will be briefed about the schedules and classes” stated the man before turning back and calling out some other names.
Draig sighed, it seemed he would reside at the bottom for the time being but then again maybe it was for the best. What he wanted was anonymity and what better place than with the underachievers.
With that in mind Draig channeled his Deva energy into the emblem and watched as a mist like trail appeared to him in the direction of his dorm.
”Interesting, I wonder how it works” muttered Draig as he followed the trail hoping to get some information about what was going on for the Academy to change so much from what he had been told.
