Chapter 154: Written Exams [1]



****

It was finally the day.

The day for the mid-terms to start.

They would last for a week, starting from today.

For today, only written tests would be held.

At night, the other academies would arrive in Eldergrove as well, where they would be led to their dorms.

And from tomorrow, they would kick in full throttle.

The schedule went like this.

Monday: Written Tests

Tuesday: 1v1 Matches

Wednesday: 1v1 Matches (Quarter, Semi, Finals)

Thursday: Team Battles

Friday: Team Battles (Quarter, Semi, Finals)

Saturday: Battle Royale

Sunday: Rest

Monday: Catacombs Exploration and Final Ceremony

It was a good schedule. Amon did not have many problems with it.

The only biggest problem he could see was the timing of 1v1 matches.

These were the matches where he was supposed to finally reveal his power against Michael.

And because of that, with the reveal of both of their powers, Amon knew that the kingdom would be thrown into shambles.

The mid-terms wouldn't be cancelled but there would be heaps of attention on him.

Journalists and everyone.

Which meant that for the rest of the matches, he would be a major target of all academies. He sighed.

'I should be able to handle it...' He tried to assure himself.

For now, he had the written tests to worry about first.

Getting out of his home, Amon exhaled in the cold air.

It was November and the cold was at its peak.

[It's been so long since I last saw this scene.] He heard a crisp voice from the side.

Looking towards the source, he saw Zephyra looking around and reminiscing.

He laughed.

'True.'

Amon felt Vain coil around his neck.

[I wish I could turn into a human.] He said.

Zephyra laughed at him.

He hissed back in contempt at her.

'Okay, okay, calm down you two. I'm going to be late.' He said.

Unfortunately, their bickering still didn't stop as he walked to the campus.

It wasn't hateful bickering. Rather, he knew that both of them liked each other.

'That geezer can be useful at times.'

Walking into class, Amon finally asked about the lizard on Ren's neck.

"So, that's your familiar?"

Ren looked at his neck from above and nodded.

"Yup." He brought its finger near it and the lizard slithered onto it.

"What's the name?" Amon asked.

"Athraxius." He said.

"That's a cold name," Amon remarked and Ren smirked.

"I know right, though your familiar's name is cooler. Nultharia. Nice." He said.

Amon coughed. Well, it was at least better than the bland Zephyra.

"All of the familiars bowing to yours legit had me shocked haha. That scene was cold as hell."

Ren said.

"I didn't even know what was happening," Amon commented as they walked forward.

"Though, that reminds me, where is your familiar anyways?" He asked.

Amon remained silent for a second, coming up with an excuse.

Their bickering had still not ended yet after all.

"It's too shy hahaha." Amon finally answered and Ren burst out laughing.

[What do you mean by shy?] Zephyra asked in disbelief while Vain laughed at her.

'Shut up for a second.'

Amon brought its finger near Athraxius and the lizard climbed on, trusting him.

"So you call him by its full name?" He asked and Ren shook his head.

"Nah, I can't remember it for more than 2 days. I just call it Athex." He said.

Amon stifled a cough. For some reason, that name was worse.

But he rolled with it.

"He loved it though," Ren said and the lizard hissed in agreement.

Amon nodded.

Unlike Zephyra, other familiars could only communicate with their masters with actions.

And their feelings could be felt by the master as well.

But they couldn't talk.

So that was that. "Welp, let's talk later with all the friend groups then." Amon returned the lizard to his hand.

Ren nodded before patting him on the back.

"Sure, Imma go and cram what I can in 30 minutes." He said before running off.

Amon looked at his departing back with a smile.

'That guy never changes.' He shook his head before also taking his seat.

And after 30 minutes, a teacher finally entered the room.

And the written exams for the mid-terms finally began.

[Get a life lady.]

[Shut up you reptilian bastard.]

But the bickering of two animals still didn't stop.
