Exercising makes one burn calories, so after resting for about thirty minutes to refresh themselves, the mbers of elite class felt hungry, it was almost midday so it was ti for the lunch break, in a rare occasion Boris left the training for another day with the condition that they ate here in the training facilities, which was of course accepted by everyone.
Since the picnic was going to continue, they needed to go get so proper food, the restaurant of the academy offered take away, so there were no problems regarding that, Aliya wanted to stretch her legs and Yvonne wanted to escape from Irina and Richard so they offered to go get the food.
Richard nodded.
"It's okay Yvi you and little Aliya can go, but I will accompany you, birds of the sa kind flock together so if the scum from the Gladius family is here, that ans the brats from the Grayer and Ascott families were also transferred to the academy".
Yvonne was in a predicant, she wanted to breath so fresh air, the incident with the Gladius family was supposed to have happened because they weren't in the campus but the academic city, here in the campus if a foreign Arch ranked were to even use its mana pressure… the principal was allowed to instantly kill it to preserve the safety of the students.
So, there was no problem as long as they remained within the campus, but her grandfather was a bit too overprotective, in fact she was doubting if Richard will return to the Risha family or if he will stay here to "supervise" her.
Aisha smiled, she stood up and proposed a solution.
"How about I go too, so we can watch each other's backs".
Richard wanted to argue but Boris sent him a mana transmission which only he could hear.
"Then it's okay, don't worry instructor if she is going that ans Daimon will of course go, so everything will be okay".
Richard doubted for a second but after contemplating things for a mont he nodded.
Aisha smiled at Daimon which could only also stand up to go with them, and so the four of them left not without laughing at the scene of Calvin trying his best to start sweating by only doing a simple exercise like push-ups.
Once they were out of the training grounds Yvonne stretched her arms, she placed her hand in Aisha's left shoulder.
"Thanks for the help back there, the old man can be a bit annoying sotis but I know he is only worried about my safety… now that I think about it you still call by my full na, if you want to you can also call Yvi, my friends and family call that after all".
Aisha nodded.
"I'll do it then, thanks, I don't have an abbreviation for my na though so you will have to make up with calling Aisha".
Yvonne laughed.
"You will probably get one later, Leslie was the one that first called Yvi back when we were still kids… Daimon you made my father leave with the tail between his legs, so you can also call Yvi".
Daimon smiled.
"Okay "Yvi", still getting rid of the curse casted by an Archmage wasn't enough for you to consider a friend though?".
Yvonne shrugged.
"How was I supposed to know that your sister was such a good girl, besides don't complain you are the first guy besides my grandpa that calls Yvi".
Aliya was happily seeing her students getting along regardless of status and things like that, and she couldn't help but a feel a bit jealous.
"If only back in my generation there were people worthy of being friends with, like these kids… maybe I wouldn't have ended in this state".
Aliya was so lost in rembering her past that she didn't pay attention to her surroundings and bumped with soone, while the other party didn't get too affected Aliya's physical condition was rather fragile so she tripped and nearly fell, luckily Aisha managed to react on ti and helped her regain her balance, but the little bottle in her waist fell and rotated until it was stopped by the feet of the person that bumped into her.
While Aliya was tiding up her clothes which got a bit ssy, Daimon frowned his eyebrows, he saw the guy that bumped into Aliya, unsuccessfully trying to crush the bottle with his foot, before lifting it from the ground and saying.
"Oh my, it seems the god of light has decided to reward my faith, by allowing to et an old "acquittance", how have you been lady Yvonne?".
Yvonne heard the voice, she turned to see the origin of it and saw a blond-haired guy using a mostly white outfit, and her expression turned cold.
"I don't rember allowing you to call by my na… Leir Ascott, give that bottle back to my teacher and get out of my sight".
Leir smiled he started playing with the bottle as he looked at Aliya.
"Lying isn't good lady Risha, if you want to send away at least make up a good excuse, are you really trying to make a re commoner with zero cultivation pass as a teacher here, at the main campus of one of the four biggest academies in the Wonder Myriad stellar chart?".
Aliya felt the disdain in Leir's eyes and she snorted, and showed the badge that identified her as a teacher.
"Give that back, you should recognize this badge, right?".
Leir was genuinely surprised when he saw Aliya's identification, according to its design he could notice that not only Aliya was a teacher, the big "S" engraved on it made obvious for him, that she was in charge of the elite class.
"To think that the Wild Claw academy has decayed enough for a magicless person to teach those who stand in an equal position as my paladin class, what an insult", he thought.
Each one of the academies had their own way to call the best of its students, for the Wild Claw academy is the elite class, in the Blue-Sky academy their elites were the paladin class, for the Black Grave academy the undead and demons call their elites the abomination class and lastly for the Crimson Blood academy, the vampires call their elites the eternal class.
Leir felt annoyed that a commoner was making him waste the chance to have a little mont with Yvonne, but the other part was a teacher so he had no choice but to pay attention to Aliya's words, that being said he noticed her weak body and considering how he couldn't destroy the bottle he got a good idea to get back at Aliya.
"This is what you get for getting into my way", he thought as he throwed the bottle with all the force he could gather without using the battle aura of a four-star ranked knight, hoping to see her avoid the bottle since she wouldn't have enough strength to receive it.
Unfortunately, the scene which he expected didn't happened, a dull sound made its way to his ears and the next thing he saw was black haired guy easily catching the bottle with his right hand.
Daimon's image flashed and a second later his fist connected with Leir's face making flew a couple of ters and collide against a tree breaking it on the process.
"If you wanted to see soone flying due to a strong impact you should have said so, I can show it to you in first person as much as you want", said Daimon before he handed the bottle to Aliya.
"Fuckkk!!!", Leir which was laying in the ground suddenly stood up and shouted, his clothes weren't completely white anymore, his hair was ssed and there was blood coming from his nose.
He had a silver cross earring which was now letting out a slight white-yellow light, Daimon inspected with his truth seeker eyes and he thought.
"I thought that his nose didn't break because I held up too much of my strength in that punch, but apparently it wasn't that".
He could see thanks to his eyes the na and a little description of the earring.
[Light protection earring: it stores the battle aura of its user to create a protective barrier around the body of the user]
Both mages below the Mage Lord realm and knights below the Knight Lord realm were vulnerable if they didn't have so sort thing to automatically protect them, once they reach the "Lord" realms, their mana and battle aura will automatically act as a defense against attacks.
But before that, mages had to cast a protection spell while knights had to rely in the use of a battle technique or a magic treasure, like the one Leir was using, to imitate said automatic defense characteristic.
That being said, such treasures were hard to create because they will grow with the user, which ans getting one will be enough for a life unless it breaks of course, but in exchange it can only be filled with the mana/battle aura of the user, so the protection will only be as strong as the user.
That's why Daimon could bypass it and still make Leir bleed with his bare fist.
Leir spat the blood that was going down his mouth and he looked daggers at Daimon.
"Hitting the young master of the Ascott family without any, you have so guts, tell who the hell are you!!!".
Daimon smiled.
"Where did that "gallant" attitude of yours go?".
"Not moving aside when you see , you have so guts, unfortunately… you don't have the qualifications to hear my na from personally from ".
Before Leir could react, Daimon appeared behind him, and without any warning he used his hand to crush Leir's face into the ground.
*Crash*
The impact of Leir's face against the ground made a lot of dirt to move, seeing that Leir wasn't trying to get up Daimon nodded.
"You can go ask that Taylor guy who I am, but I suggest you to stay a couple of hundreds of ters away from my sight", he said out loud with a grin on his face.
The commotion drew the nearby student's attention, but when they saw Daimon standing there with a threatening smile on his face, they kept their distance as they thought, "That poor guy, out of all the people he had to get in the way of that demon".
