Shadow Emperor’s Eminence

I glanced at the timer displaying 39:49. I successfully cast the high rank tier 1 magic spell in 21 minutes.

I should be safe right? I murmured. It is easy learning the spell so I guess 21 minutes should be slow. No this is not enough, I guess I should stay and train a little bit longer since outsiders can see the timer inside personal spaces.

Fifty minutes passed since I entered my personal space in the training room. I slowly stand up, my body feels refreshed because of deep thoughts in theories and principles of magic spells. I think that I can create my own magic spell when I become strong enough.

I open the door and walked outside. There are still students desperately casting spell in order to gain additional points. Points can be exchange in the exchange hall for potions, skills, artifacts and mystical arts. It gives students motivation to thrive hard.

The next class will be held in a large hall next to the main training room where above A rank growth limit chosens can train. The training tools are very advanced in the main training room making the chosens advance more faster in their rank. They surely are lucky, this world is where the talented are favored and the talentless are ignored.

I headed to the pathway leading to the sword hall. The students in B section are already there and the professor who will teach us how to use weapons that fits ourselves. Meditating quitely.

Michael Dylarz. A legendary ranked chosen who specializes in swords and aura. He have a sharp face and like a beast hungry for war. He will only teach one time on all first years and pick a students who will personally be thought by him.

I sat in an empty mat at the back of the hall. Moments passed and the next class is about to start.

”Good day B section, you probably know me aleady so Ill skip with the formalities. Today you will choose what weapons firs you ” Michaels manly voice echoed through the large hall.

”For those who will pick the swords, scythes and axes, you will practice horizontal slash. For those who will pick spears and pole weapons, you will practice forward thrust. For those who will pick guns, daggers and bows, you will throw and shoot a target. You guys will do it for one thousand times, understand? ” the professor instructed.

Different murmurs of students that are excited and in disbelief can be faintly heard. One thousand times is too much for first training but it can be helped.

Students slowly walked to the weaponry and choose weapons that they like. I blended to the crowd and also choose my weapon, A dagger.

A dagger is a very convinient and efficient in killing enemies, I don like bows who are doomed when position is exposed. The Swords, spears and pole weapons are so difficult to master. Axes are for those who are bulky so it is out of option and scythes are for cutting grasses… I don know who is an idiot that will use that weapon.

I look at the students and most of them pick different types of swords. Half of the female students pick bows. Looking at the students, I actually saw three students picked the scythes.

Wow… goodluck using that weapon, be sure to cut more grasses I laughed at them. Scythes are very impractical in battles so it is common sense to pick other practical weapons but who knows, they will bring glory to the scythe.

I walk slowly to the target room. This is a room where chosens can practice with a dummy target. There are already students here who arrived first carrying guns, daggers and bows. I went to an empty space to start throwing daggers.

Daggers are weapons of an assassin. It can be used for long range combat and close combat. This is the most practical weapon for me who didn like fighting for long. I want a fight where I can kill my enemy for a second.

Daggers pared with a shadow skill is overpowered. It can kill enemies without them knowing, isn that awesome? Its less trouble like that.

Walking to an empty space in the room. I started to throw my dragger on the dummy. The dummy is a human puppet with its vitals painted in a red dot. I just throw it casually because I don plan on becoming a student of professor Michael.

By throwing the daggers cosecutively, I can hone my throwing skills and tempered the muscles in my arms and active parts. I can also fix my positioning to better and efficient throw.

Doing thoysands of casual throws are boring. I think Ill just make one serious throw, just one. I want to see if daggers really suits me.

*Huu* I exhaled and start to position myself. My right foot take one step back with only toes on the ground making my body lower a bit. I crossed my arms holding my dagger until the daggers in my arms reached my ears. I wraps it with aura and throw with all my might.

– WHOOOOP! WHOOOOP!

The sound of a two dagger swiftly hitting the dummy can be heard. It hits the heart of the dummy passing through it.

Shit! I think I hit it too hard. It will not make Michael notice it right? I spoke in my mind worriedly. I didn think that my accuracy will be high because this is my first time throwing a dagger.

*tap* *tap* *tap*

I heard the sounds of footsteps walking towards me. I didn notice that the students practicing also witnessed me throwing daggers. I turn around and saw Michael Dylarz with a smile.

This is bad. I need to think an excuse… think think… I muttered inwardly.

”Boy state your name and your rank ” the professor ordered.

”C-Cal Lairus, F- rank Sir! ” I acted stuttering.

”You
e not bad ” he said as he walked towards the dummy. ”The stab is so clean and powerful. It cut through the dummy who are matched to an F rank body ” his hands are examining the broken dummy.

”Can you do it again? ” he asked as he look at me.

Thats what Im waiting for you to say

”Yes Sir! ” I answered arrogantly.

”Good ” he response as he stood up and walked towards the student next to me ”Throw the daggers again, I wanna see it personally ” he said while pointing towards the dummy.

I walk confidently and stand up 20 meters away from the dummy. I exhaled and do the same movements I did before but this time I aim for the miss.

Thinking of accepting me as your student? You
e dreaming I smiled as I throw the daggers with half of my power.

The first dagger almost hit the side of the right ear of the dummy making a small cut while the other completely miss. After a second of silence, loud laughters of students can be heard and the face of Michael turned dark.

”Did you just get lucky on the first dummy? ” the professor asked. He looked so pissed.

Thats what you get for thinking of having me

i happily said in my head.

”N-no S-sir… I… I c-can throw again. P-please g-give me another chance! ” I stuttered lowering ny head. I acted again.

”Whats your growth limit? ” he asked still pissed.

I lowered my head and did not say anything.

”I ask you whats your growth limit! ” he ordered angrily. My body shivers after hearing his voice. Legendary rank chosen surely is scary.

”Sir he is an E rank potential! ” the student who likes to lick the shoes of professors to get an impression on them suddenly shouted.

Good boy. I will say it myself if you didn shout a little longer I sneered.

”Forget it then, continue your practice! ” his voice echoed in the hall before looking at me. ”And you, get out. I don wanna send you out myself ”

I sighed in relief. I don want to throw one thousand times either. He really is impatient, any second and my personal space in large hall will be confiscated because they don want to nurture an E rank potential like me.

I silently walked passed the students who are mocking me. I just ognored them and march towards the exit.

”Cal Lairus. E rank potential? ” I heard a female voice mockingly said towards me. I ignore it and continue to walk.

”But it is true that you are just an E rank potential? You are doing good job at fooling everyone ” she added.

”What did you just say?? ”
