Chapter 2 Royal Academy Of Arcane

'Interesting indeed, this place" Alix thought as he listened to the teacher.

"This is the Royal Academy of Arcane and you will be kept a close eye on, we want to know everything about you and if not everything as much as we can, you will all be asked questions from other teachers and I hope you work with us and give us what we need, you don't want to get on our bad sides, every student will be treated equally no favoritism, if it's shown among any of the teachers, even they will face, well punishments," she said.

'Excuse me" a young girl said as she placed her right hand up and the teacher looked at her.

'Speak" she said and the girl stood up.

'What is it?" the teacher asked.

"Will we get holidays or get to leave the academy in the afternoon or to even go out?" she asked.

"Listen to me carefully, break a rule and you will serve detention, yes you can leave in the afternoon and so on but the curfew to get back to the dorms, the latest will be at 10 pm, not a minute or a second later also no drinking of alcohol campus, no fighting among students, no bullying, that will not be tolerated here, keep you bloody attitude to yourself, yes you will get holidays,".

"I am warning this set of you, most of you are wild, if you are a beast then we are the ones who will tame you, cut you down to your right side, no messing around," she responded and the students downed their head as Alix smiled.

'I feel a cage around us, this is hell" he thought as the teacher looked at him and he stared right back at her without any fear and she smiled wickedly.

'There are different clubs in the academy, sign up for any you feel you belong to and enjoy your first day, get to know each other, communicate, look around and I hope you and I along with the others get along very well, also for those who won't be staying in the dorms and will be going home after school is finished, don't think that you are welcome to do as you please" she said and Alix sighed.

"This is already starting to irritate me" Alix thought as he looked at the students talking to each other in the classroom.

"Hi," a girl said as she came up to him and he looked at her.

'Hi," he replied.

'I am Maila" she said as she brought forth her hand and he smiled then shook her hand.

"Alix" he replied.

'Nice to meet you" she said.

"Likewise" he replied.

"Are you going to join any club?" she asked as she looked at him then he sighed.

'Not interested" he responded.

'But it will help you in the academy" she said and he sighed.

"Okay maybe I will join one, later though" he replied and she smiled brightly as he looked at her and then scoffed.

"She is quite friendly" he mumbled after she left and a guy walked into the classroom.

"Good morning, I am Steve, your Math teacher, take your books out and let's begin class for the day, I will not go easy on any of you just because it's your first day" he said as he stood in front of the classroom.

While he was teaching Alix took his notes quietly, while he was doing so he noticed a guy beside him, listening to music using Airpods instead of listening to the teacher.

Steve picked up a marker and threw it straight at the guy, hitting directly on the forehead, and due to the force applied it brushed his forehead and he jumped as he took his Airpods out.

'If you don't want to get yourself detention on your first day then I suggest you do your work" he said.

'Sorry sir" the guy replied as he downed his head and began taking his notes.

"These teachers are not to be messed with," Alix said.

After a smooth first day at the academy, later that day around 3 pm, the school was dismissed and Alix left for his shift at the bakery.

Upon arriving at the bakery on the main street in the biggest city among the other kingdoms.

'Good afternoon" he said as he entered and the woman looked at him then smiled.

'How was your first day?" she asked.

'It was fine, I don't know, it's a little weird and so are the teachers, really strict" he responded.

'I see well go get changed and you can start working after" she said then he sighed and went to his apartment where he threw himself back on the couch and held onto his chest.

'I wonder when I am going to die? is it going to be anytime soon?" he asked as he got up and changed into normal clothes and then went to work.

At that time of the day, lots of people stopped by the bakery, someone was now going to work and some were returning from school., the bakery was quite popular for its good treats and Alix was popular among the girls, even though they found him poor and an idiot, they could not help but admire his face.

Even though Alix did not like being around too many people, whenever the girls or anyone praised him he always had a bright smile on his face but from within most of the time, he was disgusted.

While he was working that afternoon Alix came out of the bakery to get a little bit of fresh air and the sun was going down when he looked across the street and saw a woman being harassed by other guys, they were flirting with her and she tried to avoid them but then one of the guys grabbed onto her arm pulling her close to him, well that got him on his nerves and though he didn't like to get into fights, he was not going to stand by and watch that happen.
