Chapter 85 Life as a student 4 (2/2)

”you people, follow after me”

after he finished talking the knight turned and walked away

'looks like I was right... that's more bad manners...'

Mars picked up his luggage and followed after the knight along with the rest of the group and soon they arrived at the gates, the gates were about 10 meters tall and 5 meters wide with soldiers standing guard and cheeking the stream of people that passed through the gates in a orderly manner, seeing the crowd the knight stopped for a moment before he began pushing his way through the crowd

”make way... I said make way!”

hearing the knight's yell the crowd opened up a path for the group to pass though, when the soldiers noticed the commotion they saluted to the knight before they continued with their tasks

'so this knight is highly ranked... or at least higher ranked then common soldiers... well I guess that doesn't say much'

Mars walked through the gates along with the rest of the group and found themselves in a space that was cleared out for a secondary defense if the gate should be breached, but right now it was crowded by all sorts of people going on with their day, the knight made his way through the crowd shoving away all that got in his way

”make way!”

'...this really puts a bad taste in my mouth'

Mars looked at the knight that shoved a child away with disgust, before he could take anymore and looked away and noticed the twins were falling behind, Lily in particular was falling behind and looked like she would be swallowed by the crowd any moment

'can't be helped...'

Mars stopped walking and waited until Lily was close before he snatched her luggage

”...what are you doing?”

”carrying your luggage for you so you can keep up”

”thanks Mars”

after thanking Mars Lily walked over and helped her brother Lee with carrying his luggage meanwhile the group passed the cleared area and began walking down the main road of King's city and after walking for close to an hour with all their luggage the group form the academy was exhausted except for Mars of cause that as this point was carrying most of the groups luggage, Mars looked up at the castle that still was close too 5 kilometers away and called out to the knight

”hey we need a break”

the knight stopped and turned around and looked at Mars

”...take 5 minutes then”

as soon as the words left the moth of the knight the group stopped and sat down on the pavement exhausted, all expect Mars that is

”you really are something Mars...”

”hmm..? oh, I'm not human remember?”

Mars looked over at the vice principal that was parsing him with a questioning look on his face

”not that, for asking the knight for a break, also thanks for helping with the luggage”

”...well it's nothing much for me anyways”

even though his words were humble Mars still felt rather good about being praised by the vice principal

”get up, breaks over!”

as soon as he finished speaking the knight started walking again almost leaving behind the rest of the group as they scrambled to get up and keep up with the knight

'...should I kick his ass?'

Mars started thinking about teaching the rude knight a lesson but soon dropped the idea

'....don't want to piss off the one that gave him his orders, maybe if we say he tripped down some stairs... several times...'

unaware of Mars's thoughts the knight kept leading the way and after walking for another half an hour the group arrived at the gates to the castle, the caste itself was made of smoothed marble and looked like it was at least 5 stories tall with spires that was far higher then the castle itself the knight walked up to the gates and exchanged a few words with the guards before they opened the gate and let the group into the castle courtyard that seemed to be a practice field for the knight of the castle, the rude knight walked into the castle and though the hallways that was elegantly decorated with fine furniture and pieces of artwork and soon he walked into a room and turned to the group

”wait here”

after he finished speaking the knight walked out of the room and shut the door behind himself leaving group form the academy behind

'...now I wonder what's next'

Mars gave a sigh before he spoke

”...well that was horrible”

the vice principal also gave a rather deep sigh

”I'm afraid that just life as a student of Destra's magic academy”
