20 Hailyn's Top Students

Sunlight had downed on the lid of the black coffin for an hour. It's an odd occasion since he would be awake by 6 in the morning. The coffin's lid had finally began to open up as a slightly pale hand pushed it in an anti clockwise motion. He pulled himself up and stood before walking out of his coffin in quite a tired manner. He did some stretches before flying out through the window and floating down to the grassy hill in front of his castle.

He did a series of exercises that are meant to push his reaction speed and techniques for 30 minutes until Hailyn suddenly appeared from a large nearby tree. He stopped at the sight of her appearance and asked, "So Hailyn, what's the occasion?" She walked up towards him until she was only a few meters away and then spoke, "I never told you of the monsters who managed to learn the human customs, technology and combat techniques in three days. So here they are." She clapped her hands twice and two large figures in hooded cloaks jumped out from the trees and landed two meters behind Hailyn.

The figure on the left had an imposing height of 3 and a half meters, it radiated a chilling aura that caused the temperature to considerably drop. The figure on the right is slightly taller than Hailyn, it radiated an evil aura like that of a demonspawn. After a few idling seconds she continued, "These two are the only ones who I consider ready for today. They are top students in my small school for general monsters and above. They scored full marks in the whole school within these three days and are comparable to human prodigies in their own right. So go and introduce yourselves to my master."

The figure on the left removed its cloak and revealed its form. The figure is a dragon with diamond blue scales, it stood almost upright. The dragon had a muscular thighs and triceps, sharp claws and talons and blue wings with ice blue feathers. A thin blue aura can be seen on the dragon's surface. It spoke in a human like masculine voice, "I am a Diamondscale Phoenix Dragon, a triple mutated monster of the Immortal-7 rank. I possess the Immortal Cocytus Bird bloodline and the Eternal Winter Dragon bloodline. Thanks to lady Hailyn severely wounding the eastern king, I was able to attain triple mutation and my bloodlines by dealing the last blow."

"I am an Intermediate master rank on forging, alchemy, combat and engineering. Thanks to Lady Hailyn, I have managed to master technology that will not be achieved until half a millenia." He is delighted, Hailyn's teaching abilities must be great. It was not mentioned when I chose her but it's nice to see that he can have modern comforts in the near future. "I apologise, I forgot to mention my name. You may call me Svorak." He bowed. 'This is great, the dragon has good manners. Introducing it to the nobles and the royal family would be easier.'

A few moments after the dragon ended its bow, the figure on right removed its cloak. The second monster is a knight in dark, metallic armor. It had a red scarf on its neck and held a shield on his left hand and a double bladed runic sword on its right. It had red feathers on the inner edge of its pauldrons, its armor covering all of its humanoid features. Its helmet had a very medieval fantasy design with a wing design covering the area around where the ears would be. The helmet also had a long sharp horn in the middle of where the forehead would be at.

After letting Sebastian view its form for a few seconds, it spoke in a mature, heroic voice, "My name is Urin, an Undying Sword General. I am a triple mutated monster of the Immortal-8 rank with Immortal Sword Emperor bloodline. I am an advanced master on combat and military tactics. It is nice to meet lady Hailyn's master." It offered to shake hands. Its handshake felt warm and sincere, he couldn't help but smiled at the gesture. 'Urin seems to be the most civilized. His knightly manners and loyalty could be a very useful asset to the kingdom.'

His smile gave a sense of pride to Hailyn and like adding fuel to fire, her excitement increased to the point where she can't stand still. Seeing as she couldn't stay still, he sighed with a smile. After being introduced to them, they took their cloaks and wore it back on to disguise themselves. Only he and Hailyn knew about introducing the monsters, they walked towards the city to help preparations and tell the others of her plan. To arrive faster, Hailyn suggested them to fly instead.

With their flight abilities, they arrived at Bloodthorn city at 9 a.m as they spent their flight chatting with each other. In the flight's duration he discovered that Hailyn has elevated to Immortal-8 by slaying the king of the Corroded Graveyard and she had expanded her territory to the point where 26 areas are under her command. 24 of these areas are near Regarus forest while the other two are close to the north and west borders of the kingdom respectively.

From Urin, he learned how inter kingdom affairs are managed. To transfer goods or visit quickly over a very long distance, the mages of each kingdom build teleportation gates at the kingdoms borders. Each kingdom is at least 1000km away from each other's borders as human settlements didn't even occupy 0.01% of Terradeus' land. Travelling requires these mages to contact each other through telepathy and use magic to make maps.

Also, the existence of monster tamers allowed some talented people to wield the power of summoning monsters to locate different places and travel there. However, monster tamers are something quite recent and because of that there are not many of them. But still empires and kingdoms treated them very highly as the monsters they tamed had many uses that could help the kingdom or empire greatly. Upon entering the city, they went towards the city square and met Gusion and Theresa who were using magic to set up the venue and the decoration.

The city's square is between the king's teleportation gate and the city hall. It's a 30 minute walk from the teleportation gate at the city's center to the massive city square. There, Theresa had set up a small battle arena, the kingdom's banners around the square and a wooden stage where announcements and entertainment will occur at. As for Gusion, he summoned little imps to build the chairs and tables for the coming 100+ guests. All of the nobilities of marquis and above will be attending the event.

When Gusion saw the four coming he called out to them and asked, "Are there any other surprises?" 'Oh, Li Yao must've told him about her dishes.' He checked out his memory in secret and found out that once she finished making the dishes, she went back to the city and told Gusion about it. Seeing as he needed to know he replied, "Well, Hailyn's plan had succeeded beyond expectations and the intelligent monsters are already ready." He looked at the two cloaked figures that his master brought with him.

Even though monsters being inside cities could stir up much fear, Gusion had the ability to pacify and even turn the most hated enemy to a best friend. Since he had those abilities he let Hailyn do her plan as even if he rejected it, his master would support Hailyn's ideas anyways. She then began to explain her plan and Gusion quickly allotted the time for her monster's introductions after the feast. He then asked her to change to more appropriate clothing because her skirt was too short and her torso is exposed.

She immediately grew her attire into a long dress like Theresa's but a slightly more revealing version of it with floral patterns and colors. Since the preparations are almost complete they gathered together with Theresa and contacted Skadia to head towards the king's teleportation gate with her army of bronze and silver rank mercenaries. To keep their abilities a surprise until the arrival of the royals, they simply ran at quick speeds and arrived in five minutes. The royals will arrive in 20 minutes time.

As 10 minutes have passed, the portal started to open and carriages with families of major nobles within them emerged from the 4m tall portal. In the 5 minutes that followed, over 20 carriages had emerged and parked near the portal. As the final five minutes end, 6 men in red and gold outfits emerge and form a line. A long roll of red gold carpet emerge and as a larger carriage appears, the men play their fanfares to welcome the royal family. After an hour long wait, the guests of the day had finally arrived to the young Bloodthorn city.
