Previously on ETHS, Lucius with began to open up to his friends that are also his roommates , he experienced for the first time friendship but in this world there is also enemies , Urian a dark skinned youth that have the affinity with the earth element hated Lucius and had ill will toward him , to reach him he injured his two friends resulting in incurring his wrath , Luicius at the sight of his two injured friends became a devil and wanted to take revenge , in the end he broke all the bones in Urian body .

Three months have passed since the incident with Urian, students in the academy shuddered at the mention of Urian state but no one knew that it was Lucius that did it.

In these three months Lucius relationship with Harvey and Roman became like true brothers, at first hearing about Urian they feared him but they quickly forgot about it.

The three brothers were now in their room chatting, Roman was exercising and Harvey were sitting reading a book, Lucius was sitting on his bed.

“Third brother did you hear of the genius warrior of our academy Dillon, he already became a rank 2 warrior “Harvey looked at Lucius

“Sigh, yeah and we are still in the first rank “Roman sighted.

Lucius laughed coldly to himself, he was already a peak rank three warrior and also not too far in the past three months he reached the 2nd rank in magic, in the elements lessons he learned quite a few techniques, no one paid mind to him thinking he was trash but in fact he was a wolf in sheep clothes, Sylvan had more and more difficult to understand Lucius, the others lessons had other instructors but there was one arch mage and the others were all rank nine mages.

“First brother, second brother don’t lose your time concentrating on others and work hard “Lucius said to Harvey and Roman

“Your right third brother, but I wish I can work as hard as you “Roman exclaimed.

Lucius enjoyed training that is why he never treated it as something boring or hard, in the academy to graduate you need to reach eight rank, be it warrior or mage, but if your age is at thirty and you still didn’t become a rank eight, the academy will expel you, from birth to thirty the growth is at its fastest rate.

“Third brother not long ago I heard a rumor “

“Hmm? What rumor? “Lucius asked.

“I heard that the older brother of that Urian is going to challenge you to a duel “

“And what rank is his brother?”

“He is a third rank mage “

Lucius began to think deeply beating him is not a problem but revealing his power was what bothered him.

“Brat you fucked up his little brother, now is the turn of his big brother hahahaha “Leyak evilly laughed.

Lucius hearing Leyak words didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.

After that the three brothers respectively went to take their lessons, it was afternoon so Lucius was instructed wind element laws.

The lesson finally reached its end, Lucius left the classroom when he saw a person standing in front of him, and it was Eleonora.

“Lucius where were you? I searched for you everywhere” Eleonora exclaimed.

“i obviously was in the classroom “ retorted Lucius

“Let’s go, I need to tell you something! “

After several minutes, Lucius and Eleonora were sitting on a bench in the large park of the academy.

“Lucius from my friends I heard the brother of that disgusting kid is going to challenge you and I also heard that he is talented and in the third rank, don’t tell me you are going to listen to him “Eleonora was worried for Lucius.

Lucius knew who was the disgusting brat was and Laughed, Eleonora almost every time when she sees him laugh or smile would be in an enchanted state.

“Hey your face is red like always”

“Www…What are you saying!!”

“Hey don’t worry, nothing will happen to me “say Lucius while smiling.

Lucius didn’t know why when he is with Eleonora he always smiles.

“You …you who said I’m worrying “

“Then why did you tell me all these things “

“I …I idiot!!!” shouted Eleonora .

Eleonora then stood up and ran away from him her face crimson red.

“hahahah strange girl “ Lucius laughed .

“Brat you are seriously dense as fuck “Leyak

“What are you saying?”Lucius didn’t hear well what Leyak said .

“Sigh …Nothing I said nothing “

Lucius then went to eat in the canteen , his brothers didn’t arrive yet so he sat waiting for them , but suddenly a young boy stood up from a not too fat table and began to walk toward Lucius .

“Hmm?” Lucius was puzzled.

The boy was tall and the color of his skin was similar to Urian, he was handsome and he was black haired, it was a unique feature hat people of the south city of Isegat situated in the south of Efrea , he slowly walked and stopped I front of Lucius , the canteen then became silent . and all of them looked at the dark skinned youth and the red haired boy .

“You are Lucius?”Asked the dark skinned youth.

Lucius looked at him without the slightest reaction.

“Yes it’s me do you have business with me?”

The dark skinned youth smirked .

“hahaha do I have business with you let me tell you something I’m Julian the older brother of Urian , it is just like he said , you are arrogant and can’t make the difference between heaven and earth… “

“Cut the crap and tell me what you want, are you here to avenge him?” Lucius

Julian was startled by the tone of Lucius, he thought that this brat is not normal but how can he retreat now and lose face.

“I came to challenge you to a duel, do you dare?”

“What?!!!”

“A 2nd year challenging a first year what a joke! If he is not an idiot he will decline “

“hahaha what can he do to Julian he is a mere brat “

Instantly several people began to chat out loud, they were surprised, but the next moment shocked them.

“I accept!” Lucius exclaimed with a smile on his face

Julian coldly snorted

“hahaha good , but mark my words you will experience the same fate as my brother , the duel will be tomorrow at noon and in the battle arena !!“

Lucius new that place, it was a special place that hosted tournaments, every end of the year there will be a tournament to evaluate the talent of the students, and this place also allowed duels between students, the academy didn’t prohibit students from fighting in duels after all.

“I will be there “Lucius calmly said

“Is that kid an idiot?”

“hahaha he is simply arrogant what can a first year due to a 2nd year ?”

Voices filed with disdain reached the ears of Lucius but he simply ignored them, Julian then got back to his seat.

From afar, Harvey and Roman were standing at the door of the canteen and saw everything that happened they hastily ran toward Lucius .

“Third brother what are you doing, you don’t have a chance against him it’s not fair for you “Roman said while worrying for Lucius.

“Yeah first brother is right, you will suffer at his hands please decline “

Lucius looked at the two of them and felt happy, they were worrying about him.

“My brothers don’t worry I know what I’m doing “said Lucius confidently

Seeing the serious look and attitude of their third brother, the two of them didn’t know what to say anymore.

The next day Lucius was sitting cross legged in his room, he was training calmly and concentrating in the meditative state it was several minutes before the duel.

Meanwhile, in the battle arena Julian was standing in the middle of the battle area, the battle arena was an ancient building with exquisite structures, it was round and there was no roof, the battle area was not covered only the spectator seats were covered, there was quite the number of people wanting to watch what will happen, among them were Lucius brothers and Eleonora, Eleonora hearing that Lucius accepted the duel was full of worry and anxiety she didn’t want Lucius to be injured.

The time of the duel arrived but Lucius still didn’t appear, Julian was smiling, some spectators were laughing.

“hahaha he must’ve felt fear and ran away “

“Of course he was an idiot to accept anyway hahahah”

Hearing all this trash talk about Lucius, Harvey and Roman were irritated and angered.

“First brother what are these people saying, it pisses me of “Harvey was angry.

“Don’t mind them second brother, third brother would never run away remember what he did to that Urian and his friends.” Roman reassured him

“You are right let them spout bullshit all they want “Harvey exclaimed

Suddenly the people became silent, as to why, it is because a handsome red haired boy leisurely walked inside the arena , he calmly climbed the stairs the battle surface and stood several meters in front of Julian .

“Like I promised I came” Lucius lightly smiled.

In the spectator seats, the people were shocked, he really came they thought.

“Third brother I knew you would come!!!” shouted Harvey happily

Lucius this time wore a dark blue robe , on his back was his black sword , the students seeing the sword were confused , wasn’t he a mage , why did he have a sword they thought .

Julian smirked and disdainfully looked at Lucius.

“hahaha you really are an idiot if you didn’t come you will at least escape what I will do to you “

“Like I said that time, stop spouting nonsense, real strength lies in action and not in words “Lucius disdainfully said.

Julian eyes were full of malice and anger, this brat is insulting him.

“Then don’t regret it “

“Humph! I will direct those words right back at you “snorted Lucius

“Brat you can kill him and make it looks like an accident ku ku ku “Leyak scornfully laughed.

“Master please! Why are you always like this “

Then Julian suddenly summoned earth spikes in his hands and shot it toward Lucius , the spikes were three in total , their speed was good but compared to Lucius this was child’s play , the moment they arrived near Lucius he only made light steps to dodge them all , the people seeing the movement of Lucius thought he didn’t move at all .

“What? He dodged? “Shouted spectators in surprise

Earth spike was a basic skill but for a first year it was a frightening technique, but Lucius dodged them like they were nothing.

“Is this all you have?” Lucius coldly said.

“You!!! I will make you pay “Julian was enraged

Then he summoned a multitude of rocks in the shape of arrows, the number of arrows was huge, the lips of Julian slightly moved and all those arrows shot toward Lucius, the number was big so he didn’t have the ability to dodge them all but at that moment he took out his sword from its sheath and black shadow flashed continually shattering the arrows that aimed at him, the speed of his movements was terrifying, no arrow landed on his body, and from the dust Lucius appeared unscathed.

“What??!!! “ Julian was shocked, his rank three basic skills didn’t leave any injury on Lucius body

The spectators froze, even Eleonora and his two brothers were stupefied.

“Now it’s my turn to attack “Lucius said

He dashed toward Julian and in his left hand a fire ball appeared , he shot it at Julian , but in front of Julian a wall of Rocks appeared sheltering him , this was a third rank skill a earthen wall .

“Sigh, my magic is still not powerful enough, then I don’t have a choice “

People were shocked to see another third rank skill and it was a defensive skill, the earthen wall was reputed for its hardness .

“The kid is not bad but his rank 2 basic skills can so nothing to a rank three “a white robed man was standing up behind pillar muttered .

But Lucius tightly gripped his sword, a green light wrapped it he then slashed, but the people didn’t understand he was too far from Julian to harm him, but the next moment a green light in the form of an arc escaped the sword and shot at high speed toward the earthen wall, this was the warrior skill that Leyak taught him, but Lucius only used human energy from fear that his demonic energy would be found and also for not killing Julian, the black energy carried massive power , the contact between the earthen wall and the green light resulted in the wall shattering revealing the pale face of Julian , Lucius immediately disappeared and appeared behind Julian with his sword aimed at his neck .

“what!!!!, what happened what was that green light? “The spectator seats were in an uproar, what happened was too strange.

“hahahaha this kid he Is a mage and a warrior? I never heard of this case, what a monster is in our academy master was right indeed “ the white robed man people would recognize him he was Raymond .

Julian face was ashen.

“I … I lost so please remove that sword “Julian saying with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Just minutes ago if that green light passed through the wall it would’ve cut him in two, but it stopped in front of him dissipating.

Lucius smiled and his sword regained its sheath, he then turned his back and left the arena.

“Sigh! I wanted to see a bit of blood splattering “Leyak was disappointed

No one seeing this believed what happened, a first year brought down a second year, the red haired boy was a second rank mage but also used a sword and a strange technique coupled with his inhuman speed this was the first time it happened in this academy, people were still in a daze thinking of what exactly happened.

“First brother our third brother is a monster hahahaha “exclaimed Harvey

“I can’t believe it he won our brother from room 102 won against a rank three mage hahahaha” laughed happily Roman.
