EPISODE 2

..."WELCOME TO RECHON ACADEMY NEWBIE! "...

...He exclaimed. He tossed a wooden sword at me and it seems its the first trial. The inspector seems very excited about it. On the other hand, it's very creepy for me....

..."Oi! Be prepared we are not having a spar here. I'm going to test how many swings it takes for you to break that sword.. "...

...Eh? He is kidding me right? This is a wooden sword!...

..."It's not just a normal wooden sword, the wood itself is special. They came from the tree of a Dryad. It doesn't break easily, no one has been able to break it apparently."...

...".. That's very disrespectful.. "...

...What can I say I'm a Half Dryad. Of course holding a tree of a Dryad was disrespectful enough....

..."AHAHAHAHA! Looks like you know your Ethics. Expected for a Mountainaire kid like you. If it break, it will repair itself. We place it in a box there it's very sealed. Since it's a gift to the head master from a friendly Dryad."...

...That's quite the story to hear......

..."ANYWAYS! STOP THE CHIT CHAT! YOU STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO!"...

..."Y-Yes!"...

...He explained that it was also a tool to for Mana scaling. I imbued a small amount of Mana That is equal to humans, of course I don't want to get caught. Well if I do.. I can just poof them right.. Yeah it will be great. After the scaling, he told me to grip the sword for a swing. But it didn't take long enough for it to break. Looks like I inherited Dad's strength. I'm gonna get caught. The inspector was quite shock for a bit, well its for his posture. We continued the physical test and after that we finally had the Magic test. He told me to cast [Fireball] and was given a demonstration. Now I can see what's the difference of humans and deities.. The spell he casted was not strong as the one I casted when I was 5 years old in the Nether. I manage to Take down a cliff who was a fire resistance ground. Dad said it's weak but I guess not for humans... What am I suppose to do?!...

..."That's all for demonstration. I need you to cast [Fireball] 3 times at least. "...

...Never mind.. I'm just gonna lie I didn't learn magic.... I am so sorry mom, dad. Your kid is starting to lie now. Well I can't lie to you , well to humans yes....

..."... I... I didn't learn magic.. "...

..."... Don't tell me you have a enormous amount of strength but didn't learn magic?"...

..."I just l-learned Swordsmanship.. From my Dad.. "...

..."Ah.. I see.. Well the examination test will be inside, your room is 205. We will skip the magic test, since you didn't learn one."...

..."Y-Yes! Thank you! "...

...I said then head inside the building for the examination test. Well I could tell that I will fail most of those subjects since it's my first time being here. I haven't learn anything from humans except for Dryads and Nether Borns!...

...------...

..."Sir Kael.. The next examiner will be here shortly.. "...

..."Philip.. "...

..."Yes?"...

..."Do you think it's possible for a human that have almost a million Mana imbued? On top of that, The Dryad sword was accepting it all."...

..."Ahahaha! Sir Kael! You're imaginating things! Well it's possible for a Dryad to reach that kind of mana but I never had thought for a human. Unless they are the Hero in the past.. Who has 500 thousands of mana all imbued. "...

..."..... That's what I'm not saying.. I just said Mana Imbued.. Not Mana all imbued.. "...

...".. T-Thats impossible Sir Kael! "...

..."... -sigh- Let's just hope so.. "...

...------...

...*SNEEZE*...

...I think someone is talking behind my back. Well anyways, I'm taking the examination exam and it seems like there are basic academics, magic academics, Physical academics. There are a lot of lessons to pick in. But we are doing a test for all of the lesson for one academics. It doesn't really make sense. Well I did choose all of the basic academics, History of magic and Combat lessons....

...I could hear murmurs in the whole room and the teacher is handsome actually but I could sense a Drayd's Mana in him. I wonder if he is a half Dryad like me.. Perhaps he is a half human too. I finished the test let's just hope that I can pass the test. Well History of Magic is very easy for me. Since it's all about creatures and the beginning of the Magic world. The combat was a little hard since I don't know the terminology but I know how to do it. They describe every move but we need to know the name for it. I cover up my papers and then zone out. I realized that I need to call my parents to keep them in check. Well, I excuse myself and goes outside the room and teleport to the top building. There I can call them with ease....

..."Mom! How are you? "...

..."Ah, I fine, I'm fine. The journey was a little short because of the warp gates but the whole trip was a little tiring because I need to move place to place."...

..." Haven't they heard about Space Warp? They could have just use them! "...

..."Well it's quite impossible since some of the escorts are new they are not very familiar of the Kingdom and they might be warped in different locations. Anyways stop things about me.. I wanna hear about you. How is your day?"...

..."Pretty hassle.. I can't use magic since the standard here is very low and I can't get myself known for it. I just realize when I got at the examination test, I can't hold back my Mana. Because of Dad's nature. I'm pretty sure my Mana went up almost a million."...

..."mhn.. That's extremely low for you.."...

..."Eh? W-What do you mean by that?"...

..." Ah.. Well I'm a higher Dryad who rules of course my Mana scale will went up over a lot of zeros... As for your Dad well.. I can't comprehend it."...

..."... So I'm a walking catastrophe for humans?.."...

..."Mhn.. Yes, to say at least! "...

..."......... Alright.. I'm gonna call dad, please mom remember what I said earlier. I don't want my sibling to be air head after you work! "...

..." Aww.. Thats very harsh and sweet! You're just like your dad.. He told me that earlier. I have to continue my work.. Take care of the mountains and forest for me dear♡"...

..."Yes.. Mom.. Love you too...uhh Please tell dad I'll call him later I need to get back to the room before they suspect me. "...

..."Alright. I already helped you out with that. Ok? Love you! "...

...-----...

...I went back immediately and luckily i am not the center of attention.. It's those guys at my back. It seems they came from the wealthy family. More like nobles as I should say. Their Mana was quite menacing, I think they practice their Mana with harch environment. Unlike me who can't display Mana but have enormous amount of them, practiced in both Finest and Rough environments....

..." Who is done with the test? "...

...I raised my hand and those students finished too. Dang they must be pretty smart.. Well I just guess everything anyways- dang it I feel so dumb!...

..."Please pass your papers.. "...

...Well that's very calming! I feel like im not gonna pass 50% to say at least. Dang it I feel so dumb right now! The papers were passed and he immediately check them one by one. I was about to sleep on my desk when he suddenly called me out....

..."Cloud Del Von Zhixia?"...

..."Y-Yes?"...

..." How come you have answers to all related creatures of other dimensions and not the magic world history? Aside from that there are questions here that you cannot answer since none of them are proven yet."...

..."... I'm screwed.. "...

..."Pardon?"...

..."I'm not sure sir-"...

..."Just tell me what source this came form and is this accurate?"...

..."Y-Yes they are accurate.. Though about the source I can't neither tell you or show you. Since I will anger my dad. "...

..." How come this is accurate? Have you saw them before your eyes? "...

..." My Dad did.. "...

...Yes I did. I eat them too their meat is delicious and it's a delicacy of the Nether World. It's so yummy, I hope Dad brings a pile of them....

..."I see. So your Father came in the past exhibition. 3 months ago. Surrender your father before the matter became war. "...

...The exhibition was about the party who died going on a ambush on a warp gate. Some are killed after they are reported at the head magic tower....

..."I beg your pardon? I believe the world won't handle such wrath. Sir Lead... Don't think highly of yourself beacsue your a Draper.. Or should I say Half Dryad?"...

..." It looks like you know our species well. Alright you pass. I won't argue anymore. It seems like the nature was into you very well."...

..."Same goes to you sir.. Just don't kill yourself that much.. "...

..."... So you notice. I don't know how but you have a great in sight. It seems like I need to add a few things here in your form! Ahaha! "...

...Don't laugh.. Your condition is not funny at all. [Mana Poisoning] there is a slight hint of the past activity where it came from. The magic particles are very faint but I could see it. It's from a warp gate. I think they found the warp gate that my Dad use to go in the Underworld warp Gate that leads to the Portal. Huh. I guess my Mom is a very strong Dryad that is no joke. (" Mama is so cool! No?! Ahahaha! ")...

...------...

..." Silva.. That kid.. Don't you think he is a genius from a noble family from far lands?"...

..."Don't talk nonesense.. I know every noble family I every continent and there is no such thing as Zhixia."...

..."Oi... Vermins.. Don't tell me you didn't know the latest article that is forming in the newspaper. "...

..."Hmn? What is it Delmar? "...

..."... Cloud Del Von Zhixia.. She came from the stealth family that was known as Stirma Family that was formed older than this Kingdom. Some past workers came clean and it was an order. Once the 96th heir of the family opened themselves to other people. They will came out from the shadows.."...

..."What?.. Y-Your kidding.. The stealth Family?"...

..." That's just rumors.. Their old mansion was just recently found under ground."...

..."There are also clues of it being burned down and some artifacts too. They will be returned to the family. If they don't they will kill them all you know?"...

..."How arrogant.. "...

..."What can I say? They live in the shadows for the past 96 generations."...

...Wait.. Are they talking about the mansion that mom build using the old materials stored there? Uhh... Is that what mom meant by helping me with suspicions?! Well look like we have human family disguise here now. Well well well, looks like we have a backstory to back it all up! Oh this is gonna be nice. Nice Mom! Love you!...

...("Why do I feel left out? "- Dad)...

...Well the examination ends and I was on my way to the cafeteria to get some food. Since I haven't got any breakfast yet. I bought a few meal and it taste horrible. So I just finished it in one Go and gone out to hunt myself some instead. I wonder around the forest that is near at the Capital and to my surprise they are quite small than the others that I hunt back home. I guess they don't live here for too long because it's near the civilization. So I just teleported in my home forest and hunted some good meat. " Red Horned Flame Boar" I don't care how long the name is but it's delicious! I hunted a few and dismantle them so I can sell the rest of it. I just need the meat. I cooked them instantly and get myself a proper meal. Though I will miss Dad's cooking. He is really good at them. Once they got back I will learn from him!...

...I teleported where I came from with all the materials that I gathered from the boar. Well it's not that heavy but it looks very heavy since it's towering me. But I don't mind, carrying it is more convenient. I asked where can I see these goods and they pointed me out in the adventurer guild. I can't go inside the building and I can't leave this alone outside... Placing it down and casting a barrier will do. Once I went inside they are staring at me since I have those with me....

..."Uhm.. Hello.. Can I sell those? "...

..."W-Well.. You can but you need to register first. Hold on.. "...

..."Yes... "...

...Well looks like I will amje some money today. I don't want to look back those guys. I don't have expose body skin aside from my head and fingers. But I guess it's about those.....

..."Please answers my following questions.. "...

..."Ah sure. "...

..."Please state your name and Age."...

..."Can you just place Cloud Zhixia instead? It's quite long.. And I am 17."...

...Sike, I'm 9 years old.....

..."Yes, and your occupation? "...

..."Uhh... I don't have any. "...

..."Weapons? "...

..."Uhh... I don't have any either.. "...

..."Eh?? But how did you defeat the Red Horned Flame Boar? "...

..."Uhh with my fist? Of course I fight with my fist when I don't have a weapon. Well I have a knife for dismantling but I don't use it for fighting."...

..."T-Then your a close combat.. With no weapons.. How-"...

..."Are you saying my fist is not enough to be a weapon and won't harm any?.. "...

..." N-No it's not that.. Its just the Boar is more like resistant to Physical damage... So.. "...

..."Their resistance is not that strong.. If your not strong enough to go head-on their butt is their weakness. "...

..."So you don't go on head on? "...

..."Of course not their butts are dirty so I just crush their heads... It's not that a big deal.. Can we finish up quickly I need to get my results in the academy. "...

..."Ah yes sure! "...

...Oh no.. I think I pick up this attitude to Dad.. I'm showing our colors again. I need to be careful from now on and practice my patience. After I got registered as a Rank F, I sell every thing I got from dismantling.. Well I have 535 Pons. It's already a high pay actually. Once I got myself a pay I went rushing back to the Academy to get my results. It's surprisingly very fast that I thought. I saw the students that's in the same room with me earlier. My name was in the list and I had a great smile on me....

..."YES! I PASSED!! HAHAHAHAHA!"...

...------...

..."Tower Master.. This are the exceptional talents that partake the examination.. "...

..."... What's that Girl's name? The one with white fluffy hair. "...

...".. Uhh-.. Her name is Cloud Del Von Zhixia."...

..."Huh Zhixia.. Stealth family.. What is she? "...

..."It says here that she is a human sir."...

..."Are you sure you're not mistaken?.. "...

..."Yes, Tower Master.. May I ask why? "...

..."Well.. I'm just checking.. I could tell she can kill us in a blink of an eye.. Let's just say, she is a walking Catastrophe.. Make sure not to anger her. Tell that to every professors.. "...

..."Yes, Tower Master.. "...

..." This year will be full of surprises.. I'm looking forward to it."...
