"You are the son of Ryan Timberwolf? "[Ms.Lucia]

Not only, Butch, even Ms. Lucia was surprised

"Yes" [Lyan]

I only replied with a yes and a smile seems like my old man's name is still quite known here...

"Why aren't you going to the knight academy? "

Ms. Lucia continued asking

"Dad already trained me since I was a kid, and I'm also eager to learn about magic"[Lyan]

Towards my answer ms. Lucia only gave a satisfied smile while muttering "good kid" looks like I landed a good first impression on her. As I was taking my seat the door suddenly opened and a young man about my age came in sweating profusely.

"I'm sorry I'm late"[???]

he said as he bowed towards ms. Lucia

Ms. Lucia only shook her head and said

"forget it make sure this doesn't happen again, go and introduce yourself"

"I am Chris Reindhart"

hearing Reindhart everyone started laughing at him, I also understand why they laughed at him. Reindhart was once a noble bloodline but they fell from grace and is now one of the commoners...hearing their laugh Chris' face turned sour and embarrassingly started looking for a place to sit, I felt bad for him so I beckoned him to sit beside me, seeing this Chris smiled and sat beside me, Its about time I make some male friends..

"Okay since your all seated and acquainted, come in! "[Ms.Lucia]

On Ms. Lucia's words, a few workers holding a badge and a wand came in and started distributing it, after doing their job they quickly left the room.

"Wear that badge it shows which class you belong to and that wand is the best for you to use since it's the first day of class you're all free to do what you want. Dismissed"[Ms.Lucia]

The badge given to us had the 1- A on it as well as the Magus academy logo, the magic rods were small about an arm's length it had magical veins connected to a crystal ball held in place by what seems to be 4 claws. Since we had the day off, Chris and I walked towards the training ground to check out the rod...

After casting a few fireballs and ice lance I deduced that the rod amplified the magic output by 10% pretty useful to be honest but I finally understood a problem and that is I use twin blades I can't fight with a rod and holding my blade at the same time, this is gonna be a problem... But I suddenly had an idea So I said my farewells towards Chris and headed for the library to study how a magic rod works...

A monument wasn't built in a day so every day after class I would always go to the library to study it for 3 weeks and finally grasped how to create my own magic rod now the problem left is materials and a blacksmith. There are Rona and Reina, I can ask them to forge the weapon and inscribe the magical veins... But this weapon I want to be the one to make it and besides I was thinking of taking blacksmith as my sub-class so I'll just ask them to teach me instead, but we've hardly known each other I doubt they'll accept without something in exchange so I gotta make use of their weakness... And that is Aurora! They can never say no when it concerns her... Wait it's not blackmailing or kidnapping I'm a good boy please don't think bad of me...

"Rona, Reina can I please speak to you guys in private "[Lyan]

the two were surprised at my sudden request but they looked towards Aurora and say

"Make it quick"[Rona]

When we were behind the school building only then did I stop to talk to them

"So? "[Rona]

Rona spoke impatiently it was clearly seen how worried she was for Aurora...

"Then, Please teach me Blacksmithing"[Lyan]

"What? "[Rona,Reina]

The two asked in unison

"You called us all the way here just for that?, in that case, we decl-"[Rona]

"Wait before you say no let me explain first "[Lyan]

"...... "[Rona]

"Ok I know you guys have a soft spot for Aurora"[Lyan]

"But you guys can only protect her from Lisa and her group but not from Butch and his lackeys, you should know by now that Butch has a thing for Lisa and Lisa likes to manipulate people so I propose that I will look after Aurora when Butch and the others will bully her, what do you say?"[Lyan]

The two sisters pondered about what I said before asking

"why do you want to learn blacksmithing if you wanted a weapon you can only ask us to make you a custom-made weapon"[Reina]

"My weapon... My partner, I want to make them with own hands... "[Lyan]

I didn't know why but I vividly saw an illusion of a blacksmith evilly smiling behind them... They looked at each other with a smirk before replying

"Ah, we see you're a man of culture as well" Rona said as she closed her eyes and touched her chin in satisfaction

That line sounded familiar... Oh well no use thinking about it I got what I want and I'm happy, after returning to the classroom Chris suddenly hooked his arms around me saying

"Hey... What did you guys do? Did you confess to em? "[Chris]

this guy...

"Oi, I didn't ok? I only asked for a favor I know you like Reina why would I go after her? Bro code man bro code"[Lyan]

"Wait you knew?! "[Chris]

"Retard next time try not to look at her so lovestruck ok?"[Lyan]

"Tch you fucker just coz you act cool all the time doesn't mean that you don't like someone now out with it tell me who do you like? "[Chris]

"No one"[Lyan]

"Stop lying I will find out sooner or later"[Chris]

"Nope, by the way, I'm heading at Rona and Reina's place later wanna come with? "[Lyan]

"Aw hell yes, wait how did you manage to do that? "[Chris]

"Charm"[Lyan]

"Fuck you"[Chris]

"Alright that's enough takes your seat class is starting"

Ms. Lucia came at the right time and saved me from Chris' barrage of insults

Now every afternoon Chris and I would go to Rona and Reina's place to learn blacksmithing while Chris would always help Reigna at her own workspace her Dad understood his intentions and wanted to intervene but I stopped him every time by asking questions like the curious student I am, you better thank me for this later Chris

This routine continued on until 2 months passed...

"Hey Lyan you going to the Blacksmiths later?" [Chris]

"Nah I graduated remember?, but don't worry Reina's dad finally accepted you all you need now is to properly pursue her" [Lyan]

"Thanks man, you're the best wingman"[Chris]

"Yea don't worry about it just don't confuse Rona for Reina next time"[Lyan]

"Yea... " [Chris]

he laughed dryly remembering the time where he gave chocolates and roses towards Rona instead of Reina, Reina didn't speak to Chris for a week back then and seeing his gloomy face only made me laugh my ass off
