《The story of Willenstark Kraft》Chapter-4: The Beginning of a calamity . . . (edited)
Advertisement
Will woke up and dressed in his normal attire. A Dark black cloak and jeans with tennis shoes. He left his dorm and headed to the cafeteria. The cafeteria is a sub-building next to the main classrooms because over the years the headmaster grew tired of having to rebuild the cafeteria when spars got out of hand and decided to make it a sub-building of the main campus. The cafeteria was designed to be as efficient as possible. All the available space was used for either eating areas or sitting places for study. All of the first year students were starting to arrive when Will walked in.
" All right we will now assign the knights their squires and the first classes will begin tomorrow. The selection is completely random, we will no begin. " Announced Richard Heizer, the headmaster of Lunsford academy. They began calling out the knight trainees and the squires at random. Will's name was the fifth name called out. " Willenstark Kraft and Tim Jackson." As the headmaster announced this Will started laughing until he fell out of the bleachers he was sitting on. Tim was too shocked to move.
When he finally came to his senses he made a plan. " I'll get Will to show me how he increased his rank, and bypass him and make him pay for deceiving me and the others of his rank," Tim whispered to himself as he went to join Will in the bleachers. " Will I hope we can let bygones be bygones," Tim asked while trying to sound honest.
Will laugh heartedly "Of course, if you want to bury the hatchet then I will agree to as well." They then waited until the announcements were over.
" Okay, there will be no changes in the current squires until the next exam." Headmaster Heizer announced as he returned to his office.
"Well let's go to my dorm so that I can get the required stuff for training," Will said with a chuckle.
"Wow, it was that easy." Tim thought to himself.
Will met with Tim in the Sports field thirty minutes late. "Before we go through with this training, you must first agree to follow through with it no matter what. So before we begin, here are some forms to sign." Will handed Tim at least ten forms to sign.
Tim looked over the forms and nearly puked blood." A-A-Are you serious, twenty percent chance of major injury. Ten percent chance of minor injury, and forty percent chance of being crippled!!!"

Will laughed. " Power comes at a cost."
Tim blanched for a minute. " Okay let's do this."
" First sign the forms then we will start," Will said with an honest smile.
"Very well," Tim said with a sigh.
"Okay, so this is how this training is going to work, I will try to keep it simple for you, in these boxes are five drones, and a multitude of balls made of different materials, mostly soft metals, and hardwood. The drones will follow you around and shoot at you as you run at a constant pace without stopping."
Before Will could continue Tim interrupted " Are you serious? How stupid do you think I am? "
Will let out a long sigh, interrupting Tim's rant. " This will put you under the most stress possible so that when you are unable to run anymore and are in complete pain and complete disarray you then unconsciously dip into your mana to fortify your body and to provide energy for use."
Tim was about to have a heart attack from just listening to what was to come. " Are you a masochist. " Tim stuttered.
Will laughed. "Did I mention that the drones shoot more frequent the more you slow down?"
Tim felt light headed when he heard this. "How did no one notice you getting chased by the drones?" Tim said as he tried not to fall over.
Will thought for a second before answering " Well I had to run through the woods or everyone would think I was a weirdo." They had to run through the park, there were no nearby woods in the city where the academy was located. They were stopped many times by people thinking that they were actually under attack. It lasted for about two hours. They then returned to their dorms to rest for their first classes that began the next day.
Will woke up at around 6:00 A.M., he then prepared for the academy like he did for junior academy and dressed in a cloak and jeans. He then read his schedule:
1^st - History (Room 10) 8:00 A.M to 9:00 A.M
2^nd - Geography (Room 11) 9:30 A.M to 10:30 A.M
3^rd - Magic Principal (Room 21) 11:00 A.M to 12:00 A.M
Lunch Period
4^th - Exercise (Room 01) 2:00 P.M to 3:00 P.M
5^th - Bodybuilding (Room 02) 3:30 P.M to 4:30 P.M

6^th - Swordplay (Room 03) 6:00 P.M to 7:00 P.M
Will arrived at Room 10 an hour before the class actually started. He was extremely nervous, his dad didn't teach him anything that would be taught in the academy. That included Geography, History, and Magical Principal. Every time Will asked anything involving these subjects, Shawn would say, "You will learn in the academy.", and they would move on to another subject. Needless to say, this was the day that Will was the most nervous.
The instructor arrived an hour later. " Okay class, today we will just be going over what we will be going over later in the year. First on the criteria will be the dark era, then the warring eras, and then semi-modern era. I expect you all to give it your all." The instructor then began to describe what her expectations of everyone were. This is also one of the few classes that each person is required to take.
Will then returned to his dorm to put up the notes he took. He also checked to see if the drones were still charging. He then headed to Geography class. He met Tim at the door.
" Well, it appears we have at least one class together," Tim said with a chuckle, he was too sore to laugh.
" Prepare to eat as fast as you can at lunch. Will said with a sly grin.
"Oh, there is no problem about that, I'm still not used to going without breakfast," Tim said with a pout.
Will let out a loud laugh startling most of the people in the hallway." good, get ready for more training."
Tim let out a shudder " Masochist" Tim whispered as they entered the class.
" All right class I will get straight to the point. We will be going over the geography of Blutsturm, if you haven't heard of this nation then raise your hand." Half of the class raised their hand. "looks like I have my worked cut out for me, Blutsturm is the name of the nation you live in. It is then surrounded with a ten thousand kilometer danger zone known as the Dark Zone. then we have the closest nation to us known as Feuer Meer, their main economy is forging and medicines. That concludes today's short lesson. I will spend the rest of the class forming a lesson plan." There was a lot of time left so Will asked Tim what classes he had.
"Just wait until I reach a higher rank than you, you will then not be able to even regret it." Tim thought to himself as he handed Will his schedule. It read :
1^st - Weapon maintaining (Room 12) 8:00 A.M to 9:00 A.M
2^nd - Geography (Room 11) 9:30 A.M to 10:30 A.M
3^rd - Weapon crafting (Room 13) 11:00 A.M to 12:00 A.M
Lunch Period
4^th - Armor maintaining (Room 14) 2:00 P.M to 3:00 P.M
5^th - Armor Repair (Room 15) 3:30 P.M to 4:30 P.M
6^th - Resource Management (Room 15) 6:00 P.M to 7:00 P.M
" Wow, our classes are completely different," Will said as he passed Tim back his schedule and grabbed his stuff.
" Let's meet up at lunch since our next classes since our next classes are no were near each other," Tim said with a chuckle as he still plotted against Will.
" Sure, but make sure you save me a seat," Will said as he rushed back to his dorm to put up the notes he took in geography and grab a new notebook. Will made it to room 21 with five minutes to spare. Let's check the Celestial system:

Intelligence : 9

" Well, there are no new changes yet. I wonder...." Will attempted to open the maps tab but received nothing in response. " Well, I guess I will check it on a daily basis to help determine what I need to focus on," Will said to himself as the instructor walked into the classroom.
"Okay class, today we are going to go over what we will be going over in Magic Principal in this year. We will, and I repeat, we will not be doing any actual spellcasting. The main goal of this class is to help you understand how to cast spells effectively and the logic behind the spells we will be casting." Will grew excited. yes, if magic is something that relies on logic and not instinct then absolutely can't fail. Will thought determinedly as he spent the entire class period coping notes. When the bell rung he grabbed his stuff and headed to the cafeteria.

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
