The Dark And Light Emperor
ACADEMY

3 Days later...

"Raizel!!"

"Hmm?"

I woke up when Uncle Norman slapped my shoulder.

"We have arrived" said Uncle.

I fell asleep apparently. After stretching for a moment, I got off the horse carriage while carrying both of my bags.

Before entering the Academy, I hugged Uncle Norman and bid him farewell.

"Uncle thank you for teaching me so many things over the years. Thank you also for always helping and also Mother, I go first. See you when the holidays come."

Uncle Norman smiled and returned my embrace. "No need to worry, Rai. You've been considered Uncle's own son. You know, Uncle only has one Noran. Noran wanted to have a younger brother and it just so happened that you came into our lives. Grow up to be a strong man, Rai. But don't push yourself too hard, you understand?"

"Good Uncle."

Me and Uncle chatted for a moment before finally completely separating.

•••••

Marquess Norman Von Grayson. He and his family are the ones who have always helped me and my mother. Their families also gave us a place to stay in Dawn Village, Southern Kingdom.

Mother once said, that all this time we lived from someone's property. That person was Uncle Norman's relative. You could say, he guaranteed all his property for the needs of our lives.

In addition, Mother and I also worked in Uncle Norman's garden and farm, and from there we produced coins to make ends meet.

Since childhood, Mother always taught me to save and save. Until finally a year ago my savings accumulated very much and I managed to use it well.

A year ago, I finally managed to set up a small cake shop in the Capital with the help of someone. But I haven't told you about this to Mother or Uncle Norman's family. I'll let them know when my shop is already quite famous and has a name.

I want to make them proud.

Not only did it help the needs of our lives, Uncle Norman also became a master figure to me. Because it was the youth who trained me how to control mana energy, basic elements, as well as some basic magic before entering the Academy.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been training with Noran Grayson a lot. He was Uncle Norman's only son.

He was a year older than me, so he went to the Academy first. Noran has been like a big brother to me, because he has always protected and defended me.

Talk about Noran. Well, I'll meet him soon.

•••••

Uncle Norman waved his hand at me, before finally speeding away from the Academy grounds.

As I was about to walk into the gate, I suddenly saw a very fat gray-haired cat. The cat has green eyeballs that look shiny. The cat continued walking towards the back of the Academy. Precisely towards the bushes growing around the Academy.

A little curious, I decided to follow the cat.

Not far away, the cat finally stopped at a large tree and fell asleep there.

This cat looks sweet. He had thick fur and looked luxurious. I stroked her slowly and I felt her snoring in my hand.

Who is the owner?

"Willa!! Where are you." Not far from my place, I heard the sound of someone shouting.

"Willaa!"

The screams are getting stronger. I saw this cat waking up and meowing. "Miaws... Miaww...".

After this cat meowed, there was the sound of footsteps running towards me.

"Willaa, here you are apparently. I've been looking for you everywhere, you naughty cat!"

A man?, with a gleaming silver mane appeared and immediately carried this cat into his arms.

"You're the owner?" Ask the guy.

The man nodded. "True, I had a brief conversation with my bodyguard and when I turned my head, Willa was no longer by my side."

Hm, bodyguard? Is he a noble?

"Are you a new student?" ask me.

"Yes, are you also a new student?"

I nodded.

Hm? Waitaminute! The harivein?

Ah, it turns out that he is not a noble but the Royal family.

The name 'Harivein' itself is the surname of the Southern Kingdom. He was a royal prince.

"You-ah I mean you're the Prince of the Southern Kingdom?"

"true."

"Greetings Your Highness the Prince. May the god Arios always bless.

I bowed my body to him a little. But Luce quickly pulled me.

"Hey, it doesn't need to be like that! Relax and do not have to speak formally. At the Academy we are all students of equal status" Luce said with a chuckle.

"What about you? What's yourname?" continued.

I smiled a little. "My name is Raizel Kaiser."

"Greetings to Raizel. Oh yeah, you met Willa?"

"Willa?"

"Yes this fat cat is Willa. He's very funny isn't he?"

I nodded and stroked Willa's head, and she replied by licking my hand.

"Well, it looks like Willa likes you" Luce said, making me smile.

Ah right, because for too long talking and playing with Willa I forgot to enroll in the Academy.

"I think I should go now, Luce. I haven't signed up."

"Ah, right too. I haven't signed up either. Come quickly, before the welcoming speech begins."

We both rushed towards the direction of the Academy. Arriving there, we met a guard and he drove us all the way to the registration room.

Geck, tok, tok.

We knocked on the registration room door and before long the door opened by itself. "

Lucius and I entered the registration room and were greeted by a woman. "We want to sign up" said Luce and I simultaneously.

"Gosh, where have you guys been? Five more minutes of welcoming speech began" the woman said.

"I'm sorry, my cat was lost" Luce replied feeling guilty.

"Yes, it doesn't matter. My name is Madam Marry, I'm an officer in this administration room. Mention your full name, Kingdom, as well as your basic elements."

"My name is Lucius De Alryne Harivein. From the Southern Kingdom and my element of water."

Madam Marry was surprised shortly after hearing Luce's name but continued her writing activities.

"Then, what about you?" Madam Marry turned to look at me.

"Raizel Kaiser of the Southern Kingdom. Fire and water."

Madam Marry recorded our information quickly. Then he gave each of us a key.

"You will be in one room. There are two rooms and a small living room. Your dormitory is in the 1-C building on the 3rd floor, room number 15, all your equipment has been provided in each room. You don't mind being in one room, do you?" ask Madam Marry.

"No problem." Answer us simultaneously.

Just for information, in the Academy of Avior there is indeed an absolute rule not to distinguish castes between the Royal Family, Nobles, and ordinary people.

This is done so as not to arise social gaps in the Academy environment. This was also done so that the Academy could assess the ability of the Academy's students more freely without being hindered by caste. This rule was proposed by the Emperor himself. Therefore, all parties accept it.

"Put your things here first and quickly go to the hall. Soon the welcoming speech will begin" said Madam Marry a little panicked.

"Ah, what about my cat?"

"Don't worry. I'll take care of him." Madam Marry took over Willa from Luce's sling.

"Now hurry to the hall!"

We nodded and thanked Madam Marry then immediately ran towards the Academy hall.
