Chapter 32 - Six elders (2/2)
”How can you guys eat like that when we have the assessment coming up?” Slyvia asked.
”it's free food,” Gary said with his mouth full.
We carried on eating and when we were finished the staff had put away all our dishes.
The students now sat down waiting patiently for what was to happen next. Suddenly the doors swang wide open and out came three knights. they were Wilfred, Barbadoes and Delbert, the three knights who had escorted me and Gary to Renny town.
As they came in chatter started amongst the students.
”It's the three Knight masters.”
”I want to be as skilful as Delbert”
”I hope we get to see their skills first hand.”
The three of them stood at the centre of the stage, Wilfred stepped forward to give his speech.
”I welcome all the new students of Avrion Academy, today will be the day where you shall face the Squier assessment. The assessment has been used to determine a Squier's rankings since the beginning of Avrion academy. There will be a total of five assessments. The gem of truth, The hell of fire, The silent night, The eye of accuracy and the will of truth. Each assessment will be monitored by a Master knight such as myself and the two standing next to me. Please do not be disheartened with the rank you obtain, for even a red sash Squier can one day be in the position we are in. We know you have the potential to be strong for the trial you faced at five in your village. I wish you all good luck in the assessment ahead.”
After the end of Wilfred's speech, the room erupted into a massive roar of energy. Everyone was cheering at the thought of making their dream come true.
The Squier masters eventually got the room and the students to settle down. Once Wilfred had finished the speech he moved towards the door. Upon opening the door he bowed down to the people who entered. In came six elders each with a black night by their side. It was hard to tell their age due to the use of Ki, but their visual appearance was around sixty.
I sensed a strong presence coming from each of them, I activated my dragon eyes to get a closer look. A white aura could be seen shining of each one of them. The last time I saw something like this was when I was defeated by the witch as a dragon, just before I was reincarnated into a human.
For some reason their aura made my body shiver. The six elders sat in the grand chairs behind them. The elders didn't say anything and just sat there in chairs looking around at the students in front of them. Each elder had a Knight in black shining armour standing next to them. just like the ones who were stood outside the red door.
Delbert came to the front of the stage and introduced the elders. He explained that they were the current heads of Avrion Academy. How they had accomplished great deads to get to the place they were today. After the speech was over Squier masters came to each table. They began escorting us to the training grounds where the test was set to take place.
