Chapter 184 - The Magic Academy - Part 3

They had discussed this earlier too but Rex seemed to have no interest in that. However ow it seemed like he couldn't contain himself anymore.

Because of that, his heart's words appeared in his mouth!

"..."

Alex and Elina almost immediately turned their gazes towards him when they heard him say that.

"You want to attend the Academy?", Elina asked with surprise.

"Ya..."

Well, he wanted to attend later to meet his sister, but now he thought that it would be best to attend it as soon as possible.

"That's great!", Elina said with a smile.

Emilia smiled too when he heard that, it was because she could meet with him now and then if they end up in the same academy!

The Magic Academy was created by many kingdom's wealth and sponsorship. It was as if they wanted a perfect education system for their kids.

As mentioned earlier, there were tons of other Magic Academies which were referred to as Magic School, but this was considered to be much more prestigious than any other!

"Then I will apply your name too, you need to take the entrance exam...", was what Alex said.

However, Emilia cut his short and said, "Um, uncle, the entrance exams are long over..."

"In fact, our first semester is already over and that was why we got three weeks holiday.", she said in a low voice as if she was informing him that Rex could take exams only during the following year.

"Is that so...?", Alex started to think about that.

"Hmm..."

Rex had to actually wait for another year to go, however, there was something called transfer student and special admission seats!

This was something that the grandmaster had made, a special power with which exceptional students can be taken!

Alex thought about using that power, of course, he knew the principal and the dean of the campus. 

However, there was one thing that he wasn't certain about, that is if Rex could even pass that.

Needless to say, in his eyes, Rex was far too weak!

However, Alex thought that there was a need to mention that.

"Listen, there is an exception that the academy provides..."

The moment he said that Elendo recalled what that privilege was. It was the same for Seria and Elina too however it was the first time Emilia, Rowan, and Rex had heard.

"Privilege?", Rex asked with surprise which the same with Emilia.

"Yes...", Seria nodded her head.

Alex then explained what that was and while doing this he was sighing a lot because he never once thought Rex to be special, not even a bit.

However Elina was feeling something weird, it was as if she knew that Rex was hiding something.

She essentially believed that he had some power inside him, she had seen his body which had well-built muscles due to which she knew that he had indeed worked hard all this time that he had gone.

Seria was happy too because, with that special privilege, she was sure that Rex would be able to get in.

Rowan also believes that this would happen however Elendo and Emilia were doubtful.

'In my past life, I had seen that Rex had the power flames...'

'It's still fresh in my memories, but it seems like this time around, he hasn't awakened such a thing.'

'In my memories, he is the only one who has changed.', was what she said due to which too wasn't confident enough.

"I can try for that!", Rex said almost immediately with excitement.

"Huh?", Alex was shocked to see him respond so well.

Rowan and Seria have already started to root for him since they knew that he would pass without any trouble!

"But...", Alex was somewhat hesitant.

Elina stared at Rex's eyes and then smiled when both their eyes met.

She then turned toward Alex and said, "I think we should let him try at least..."

When Alex heard that, he agreed. Though he wasn't going to send him because he thought that Rex would be embarrassed, he thought that it was best for him to have at least some experience.

"Alright...", he agreed hesitatingly.

Rex was happy because of that and was now impatiently waiting for that day to come.

"..."

Soon the breakfast was over and everyone went back to do their own works or rest.

Some went to take a look at the city while others just took a look at the palace and its decorations, one of them was Rex.

While doing this some days passed.

They stayed in the palace for a few days when they enjoyed all the sceneries, 2-3 days that is. Right after that, Alex and Elina were ready to leave.

Right before they actually left, Rex was asked to sign a paper along with Alex and Elina. 

The paper said that Rex was Emilia's fiance. They will get engaged after a year and when they would turn 18, they would marry.

Ya, Rex was forced to sign that because he now had to think of a way to break engagement if it were to happen because in the paper it was written that he 'HAVE' to get engaged with her and then marry!

He signed it anyway and thought about leaving the rest to fate. He decided to think about breaking off later because it would only give him a headache.

Regardless, he then returned back to Rhone along with Alex and Elina and all the soldiers including Daryun.

This time they didn't use any sort of teleportation, they went along the normal route.

"Emi, do you really love him?", was what Elendo asked after all of them left.

"Yes father.", she nodded her head while being flustered.

"Sigh..."

"Now I really have to see my cute doll getting snatched away by my best friend's son...", and that was what he was sad about!

Regardless, Emilia was in cloud heaven because of the necklace that she received and also because Rex was now her fiance.

'I am really enjoying these times, but I shouldn't forget that it won't last long..."

"I need to go and find those masters and I form them about his revival that will destroy the world!", was what she said to herself in a low voice.

She then went to the training area and started to train. Elendo and Seria became busy with their own works after that.

Alex, Elina and Rex, and others, everyone reached Rhone successfully.

After reaching the castle, Alex and Elina found that they had tons of work stockpiled. They had to do everything while in contrast to that, Rex had absolutely nothing to do, at least, nothing other than train himself.

Bandis and Zor were happy to see Rex back. They then asked many things and Rex explained about his journey.

He then told them about the fun that he had and how he got a fiance too!

It was all going happily, but then again, the world was nearing its end. Thus, happiness wouldn't last long!

In any case, now Rex was preparing himself to attend the Magic Academy.

Of course, Elina would tell him many things about the academy, however the most fascinating that she ever said was about an old grandma.

"Grandma?", Rex smiled when he heard that.

"Yes, there is an old lady there who is actually a witch."

"We used to call her grandma to make fun of her!", Elina laughed loudly.

Alex heard this while entering the room.

"Haha, you are talking about Karine Granny?", Alex too laughed as if he recalled something.

Rex was interested in these stories since he was a fan of these old kinds of stuff!

"Haha, she used to scold us always but within her heart, she didn't have a speck of hate for us."

"In fact, she loved us a lot!", was what Alex said.

"..."

"When we used to be scared, she used to tell us stories...", was what Elina said.

Alex laughed at that even more but became a bit emotional at the same time. It was the same with Elina too.

"It's been so long since we last saw her...", was what both of them said at the same time.

"..."

"I really want to see her...", was what Rex said.

"Haha, when you see her, don't forget to thank her..."

"After all, we could say that she was the one who raised us."

"..."
