Chapter 30 - My Roommates (1/2)

We had been touring around the city with Lancy for a couple of hours now and even my legs were starting to feel tired.

”Is that everything now?” One of the students said miserably.

”Of course not, I doubt you will ever get to see the whole of Avrion Academy.” A smile could be seen on his face, it looked like Lancy was enjoying tutoring us.

”So where are we headed to now then?”

”You're Dormetries.”

With that, everyone's mood was uplifted, we would finally be getting to see the school. We continued to follow Lancy and the pace even picked up a bit as everyone was now exited.

Finally, we had reached our long-awaited destination. Everyone was in shock at the sight in front of them. For the place that we would be studying and training at, was the palace that could be seen from outside the walls.

The building looked even bigger up close.

Lancy went to the entrance of the building and turned around to face us. His expression went from playful to serious.

”We will all meet in the dining hall at 2:00 pm sharp. Once everyone has eaten we will head to the training grounds, which is out of the north exit behind the building. Be ready for this is when the assessment starts.”

”Where is everyone?” A student asked.

Compared to the rest of the city the school seemed extremely quiet. The only people that stood there were two guards who wore white sashes standing in front of the gate.

Honestly, I was half expecting a welcome ceremony.

”There is a meeting going on today between the elders, most of the knights are out on a mission. The other new students are training for the upcoming assessment.”

”Other students?” everyone started to turn to each other with a confused look on their faces.

”You didn't think you guys were the only ones, did you? Avrion has many towns as bases for new students, Renny town is just one of them. If we only recruited fifty knights a year we would have been defeated long ago.”

Lancy could see all the students muttering to themselves. He decided to move forward to the entrance. He went up to the door and the two guards started to open it.

It took the guards their whole strength just to open the two giant doors.

”You want to become a white sash like these guys, become a guard, an easy job where you're away from all the danger,” Lancy said as he walked passed the two.

Inside the building was just as spectacular as outside. The walls were lined with famous paintings of knights beast and all sorts. They also had many grand weapons out on display, some too big to be actually used in battle.

We walked around the bottom floor until we stopped just outside a three-meter tall red door. Outside stood two guards dressed in all black armour. It didn't look cheap and the knights looked terrifying.

”Red is the sign of danger, nothing has ever come good from that colour in these lands. So stay clear of this red door behind me.” Lancy glanced towards me as he was making the speech.

I wanted to fight him there and then but didn't want to make a scene. Although my strength had improved a lot and I was confident I could defeat someone like Lancy who was a Squier master. The two knights guarding the door I couldn't begin to guess how powerful they were.
