Perhaps, the guidance from Scarlett, the principal, and her resources would help him further in his research.
..
'I should have gone together with the principal and took the resources she had for me then.' Rae thought as he sat in a meditative position on his bed in the dorm of the academy. In his hand, lay the bloodstone he took from Ekaros.
He had been researching the artifact for a while now, after coming from his meeting with principal. He had been inside his room for almost two days now, trying to check if he could glimpse through the secret of reaching level five through the bloodstone.
Unfortunately, there was no success, though there were other gains from his intensive reserve these last two days. Rae could now better control the power inside the bloodstone, also increasing his control over his own demon bloodline.
Although, he still wished to have taken the notes from the principal Scarlett. So, that he could have compared and filled the gaps in his knowledge with that, making his strength a level higher. But then again, there was another path, the path of spells that he learned with the help of Natasha, causing him to confused about the direction of his study and training.
Of course, he was going to learn it all but it was matter of precedence, and also which of these two women tempted him more that would help him decide. Now that he was done with the research on the bloodstone, he decided to leave his room.
Knock Knock!!
"Hmm? Is it her husband again? I already declined him politely!" Rae muttered in dissatisfaction as he looked at his door. The same day he happened to meet with Serena's husband, that evening, Scheta had sent him a messenger to give an answer to his proposal.
Rae politely declined, saying that the time he had to think over it was to little and he won't be able to consider their proposal, saying that he would only decide after he completes his learning from the academy first.
"Sir, you have been called by Earl Serena, this is a letter from her." The attendant from the academy bowed as he said this and handed the letter to Rae before leaving.
'It is understandable that Alice insisted that he gets the mission. She must have known about his temperament, but I still have to discuss his rewards.' Queen thought, she did not want the young man to feel at a loss.
"I understand madam." The veiled lady before leaving. It was time for her to get to work, visit the academy and then bring Rae to the palace.
She rushed to the academy hurriedly, hoping that the man would not be gone out for another long mission.
"What do you mean you got ignored by that student? Did you not tell him that ARISTA, the family who is known for its best techniques in the kingdom invited him?" A thin looking handsome man roared as he slapped his hands on the table.
The thin man had grey shoulder length hair, and he was the leader of the great Arista family. The family that is famed for its powerful techniques, that even their level three warriors can stall against level four opponents.
In front of the leader of the family, Scheta stood still, his head hung low in shame that he could not accomplish the simple mission.
Not to mention, he also got ignored by the student and had to send a messenger for his answer.
Embarassing!!
Too humiliating!!
Leader of the Arista family, Keol Arista, a level four warrior, and also the Count, could not bear with the humiliation!
People sacrificed their blood relatives to be choosen as a warrior in their family, but this young man rejected the invitation directly from him!!
