《Dungeon of Apples? (Completed)》Chapter 16. Academy and demons.
Advertisement
We reach the academy after 3 days of sitting in the carriage and getting out sometimes only just to see the sunlight for five minutes... When we get out of the carriage I see an old man with a huge gray beard. Like Dumbledore from Harry Potter... Even this world has its own Dumbledore huh...
Old Man: "I am the headmaster of this academy. I welcome you Count Quinn. I've heard about your situation from the king. So you can only read and not write huh... And you need magic too? Atleast you won't need physical training because that is one thing I cannot help you with. Oh and my name is Mackwell."
Quinn: "Nice to meet you. Where should we go? We have to unpack our things."
Mackwell: "Follow me Count Quinn."
Quinn: "Just call me anything you want. I am not too familiar with the Count ranking yet so it is not neccesary."
Mackwell: "As you wish, my boy. Oh and I must mention this... Jenica arrived yesterday."
Quinn: "Jenica...?"
Mackwell: "The only princess who isn't engaged or married to anybody. And you are the only royalty left to marry."
Quinn: "I am going to get a headache from this aren't I?"
Mackwell: "Quite a lot, my boy! Jenica is known to be one of the most arrogant of the princesses! I should really put up some viewing wards around here now. This is going to get interesting."
Quinn: "Ahh.... Annoying... I just wanted to get some magical tome and knowledge and not be forcefully engaged to a princess..."
Mackwell: "You only became a royal for those reasons! Hahahaha! You are certainly different my boy! By the way, your classes are going to start in a few hours. Better unpack fast."
We talked for a little while until we reached a manor. There were some butlers and maids waiting for us and they immediatly took our things and started unpacking them. A butler tried to pick up my black sword but he couldn't even lift it by one millimeter. He called for help and a huge muscular butler comes and tries to lift it. The same happens. The headmaster then takes interest in the sword and looks at it.
Mackwell: "This... Is your sword...?"
Quinn: "Is anything wrong with it?"
Mackwell: "It's a Dungeon Sword... Only Dun-"
I decide to stop him from talking even though he was 5 meters away from me but I closed that gap faster than the speed of light and put my hand infront of his mouth. I then whisper to him.
Quinn: "Do not... Tell anybody of it. I do not wish for people to come after me knowing I wield a dungeon sword and I can give them rewards. You mention what I wield to somebody... Prepeare for pain in the general area of... Everywhere."

Mackwell gulps and then nods. I take my arm away. The butlers and maids look at me like I am a maniac, shutting up the headmaster of the academy I am going to attend. I then pick up the huge black sword. I stop whispering.
Quinn: "Do not worry about the black sword. It is a special sword what can only be lifted by me. I will also be taking this sword with me to the classes. Is that OK Mackwell?"
Mackwell: "Yes it is my boy! All the royals can take their personal blades to classes if they wish. Yours is just... Way bigger than usual. The biggest sword a royal carries around is similiar in size to an axe. The longest was a bastard sword. Yours is thrice the size of a greatsword and one and a half the length of a greatsword..."
Quinn: "Good. Well I should get going shouldn't I? I don't want to be particularly late to my classes."
Mackwell: "You do that. I will have a chat with Mirikin and Akuna seeing as they start classes tomorrow."
Quinn: "Bye then."
Akuna and Mirikin: "Bye! Come back safely!"
I laugh a little. They litteraly sound like a wife now... Not like I know what one of them sounds like. I have to watch out for the headmaster... I walk to the main campus and enter. A teacher is already waiting for me.
Teacher: "Ahh. Count Quinn. I was waiting for you. Your class is already waiting for your arrival. All they know is that a new student is coming."
I follow the Teacher and she tells me to stay outside until She tells me to enter. I wait for a little while. The teacher is female...
Teacher: "Please enter, new student."
I enter and everybody looks at me in shock. Every teacher had a notification about my... Looks... So they didn't freak out as much. But the students... They freaked out. Some of them drew their swords. Some of them started casting magic. Some of them soiled themselves by accident.... Others just plain old fainted. I tap the wall, gently, and create a crack in it to signify that I will not take disobedience right now. The teacher was about to quiet the class down but I did it faster. I approach the teachers table to introduce myself.
Quinn: "I am Count Quinn. And can you all not freak out because of my appearance? I might be somewhat of a demon but I am still one of the... Royals... Of the kingdom of Euin."
Some of the girls who quite clearly almost soiled themsleves but were quick enough to hold it in and start casting mana get back up. Everybody sat down when I gently tapped the wall.
Aristocrat Girl: "Hahaha! You cannot be Count Quinn! You are too young! Count and higher ranks are given to strong and experienced men! You probably did that crack in the wall using all your power and mana!"

Quinn: "Hmm.... Want to place your bets? I will fight the strongest in the class in a duel."
A young man who is surpressing his fear approaches me. He has a normal sword on his hip. The hilt is decorated with gold lines.
Aristocrat: "I will fight you! After all I am superior to these other lower aristocrats! My father is the Duke of Everlake!"
I nod and look at the teacher. She sighs.
Teacher: "Follow me... I'll take you to the duelling grounds... Class, if you want to see this please follow me."
Almost all of the class gets up except those who seem to have soiled themselves. And most of the ones who soiled themselves look like pampered aristocrat daughters and sons.
I follow the teacher and a mass of students follow behind us. In the few minutes in the class I noticed that the class had... Fifteen rows and ten columns. There were fifteen students in one row so one hundred and fifty students in the whole class. Well except the ninty empty desks... So sixty students... But there were more students from other classes mixed in too. The other classes heard the commotion from my new class and decided to check out what was going on. We reached the duelling grounds and I noticed a huge barrier around a square area. I enter on the right side and the boy enters on the left. I decide to scare him a little so I show just five percent of my total mana pool. Half of the students nearby just faint from that amount.... Are they really that weak...? The aristocrat boy is even more afraid of me... The teacher begins the countdown. Five seconds pass and it starts...
And it ends in one second... What happened in that one second? Well the boy tried to cast magic but I ran infront of him and hit him in the stomach throwing him out of bounds while breaking over half of his ribs and I also hit his shoulder with my other arm rendering one of his arms completely useless... Nobody saw what happened because as soon as I started running a huge cloud of dust appeared around us and it didn't dissapear until ten seconds later. Nobody noticed where the boy was at and they were looking into dust and not towards the walls. The dust settles and they look in shock. The boy is nowhere to be seen and I am just standing there. I laugh a little and point towards the wall.
Quinn: "There is your student. Might want to rush to his aide. I might've broken his shoulder and over half of his ribs. And for the students... I am not here to hurt you. I am here to study just like you. But if you try to attack me in a fight... Prepeare."
I then look at the teacher of my class. There were other teachers here too who immediatly after I pointed to the boy ran to him and cast healing magic.
Teacher: "Well... You showed us something amazing already Count..."
Quinn: "Just call me Quinn. And can we start with our lessons now?"
Teacher: "Immediatly Quinn!"
I laugh a little and we head back to my class. I just study regular things and when I head back to my manor... I see Mirikin and Akuna looking at me worried.
Quinn: "What is the problem? Is it because I crushed an aristocrat?"
Akuna: "Not that... You have to already leave..."
Quinn: "What do you mean?"
Akuna: "The king... Ordered you to go towards the coast line. A demon army has reached the shores... They want you to fight..."
Quinn: "Hmm... And I haven't even properly got accustomed to the school yet. Akuna. Mirikin. Do not follow me."
Mirikin comes up and tugs on my shirt.
Mirikin: "Please... Come back safe... I don't want to lose you too..."
I smile.
Quinn: "I will come back. After I kill all of the demons. I don't know about the safe part though... I cannot use... Those... Infront of humans."
I go inside and put on some heavy gear that was already sent to me by the King. He really thought this through didn't he... He really wants me to go and fight an army of demons... I hope he atleast sent an army of men there to help me... I am about to leave after putting on the armor and grabbing my black sword. I feel something holding me back when I am about to step outside. I feel something soft on both of my cheeks and then I look back. Akuna and Mirikin are there. I then realize what they did... They kissed me on the cheeks... Hahahaha. They really are acting like my wives now. You aren't jealous right Mayu?
Mayu: "No... It is my sister and the slave girl I helped save... I don't mind sharing you with them..."
I start running. I run at Mach 5 but it still takes me five days of running without break... That is how big the continent of Euin really is compared to the small area I was at before. The small area of where the capital, the academy and the County is at was really like zero point five percent of the total size of Euin...
When I reach there I spot a huge army of demons and a huge army of humans. None are engaging in combat. The humans are in a formation. Heavy-armored at front and the less armored at the back.
It is time for war.

The Kings of Thendor - The Two Kings
To some, it would probably be obvious. To others – not so much. In the land of Thendor, where magic is mysterious, unmentioned, and sometimes even disbelieved; where kings, queens, and stewards rule, the ages-old kingdom of Alldel remains without its king. Heirs come and go and no one can explain why each one chooses to abdicate to the steward. And who are these heirs, anyway? Some say the line of kings is dead, while others whisper of magic. Some, though few they are, will tell you other kingdoms have interfered, keeping the line of kings from rising in the nation of Alldel. But why? Adric, son of Cassian, heir to the throne of Alldel has come of age and must answer the question, whether to assume the throne, or abdicate as his ancestors had done for centuries. Raised as a blacksmith by a family friend, Adric struggles with the decision to take up his place as King of Alldel, and to make matters worse, a neighboring kingdom has confirmed the rumors of the common folk. An impossibly old king with a centuries-old message arrives and changes Adric’s life in ways he could never have imagined. Adric must decide the future, and perhaps even the fate of the great kingdom of Alldel. Unprepared for this turn of events, he enlists the help of allied kingdoms and even the mystical nymphs of the Tulusbian forest. Some say his actions will start a war on the continent of Thendor. Ohers say he is resurrecting a long forgotten one from centuries ago. Abdicate, or become king? To some, it would probably be obvious. To others – not so much.
