Chapter 27: Longinus Academy, Club Heads
At the moment, the whole Longinus Academy was in uproar.
The student council president and the strongest student in their academy, Princess Rias, was finally returning after six months of outside training!
The freshmen were eager to see her while seniors awaited her return.
"Princess Rias is coming to the academy?"
"Really?!"
"So we can finally see the youngest Legendary of the Empire, eh?"
"But I heard that she is coming with the trial's candidate."
"What?!"
"Do you think...those seven will stay quiet about this?"
...
As Aleron, Rias, and Roxen exited the carriage before the academy gate, a few hundred students stood in the open grounds before firecrackers and flowers blasted into the sky.
"Welcome back, President Rias!"
"Welcome back, President Rias!"
Aleron was taken aback. 'It seems she is popular here. And president? Must be student council president or something.'
'I could already feel a lot of magic pulses, but damn. Everyone seems to be having fun.' Aleron was excited.
Past the giant and long trees, he saw three floating platforms where students sparred against each other.
On the ground, there were unique shapes of buildings clearly constructed with magic, tree- houses, and various structures of big sizes.
But the biggest was a building akin to a fantasy castle made of stones and crystals. It was 10 stories tall and massive wide, with seven unique towers sprouting from it, indicating the seven Club Heads of the academy.
"You see those seven towers? They are the strongest clubs of the academy, and their leaders are the seven strongest students," Rias said with a smile, her eyes showing that she was eager to meet them. "They are my friends."
"Who is strongest among you all?"
Rias chuckled and said, "I am strongest if we fight for real, but there is someone more skilled and talented than me."
"If I don't use my Bloodline powers, he can win against me," she added with a wry smile.
'Bloodline, eh? Interesting.'
They soon arrived at the Club Castle, moving at its closed giant doors. Unlike the other areas, this castle was utterly silent. Aleron didn't see any students nearby or anywhere around it.
"Come," Rias walked towards the gate, which automatically opened when she was a meter away.
Just as Aleron stepped inside, he saw seven people standing ten meters away while facing them.
Three beauties and four dudes looking in their early twenties. They wore the long academy black robes with different badges on their shoulders and different design stripes on the robes. 'Damn...the dudes look handsome and girls are world beauties,' Aleron thought as he looked at their figures and looks. 'Meanwhile, I look like a young Chaplin or a Sailor? Tsk.' Compared to them, he indeed appeared average, with a plain white loose shirt on his lean figure and creamy trousers...he purely chose these clothes because of comfort and he really thought he looked good and chill in these, and he liked it.
But looking at these people...
'Comparison can go to hell. Screw it,' Aleron stopped thinking about it. 'I am good as I am, humph.'
