《Code Death[Dropped]》Chapter 3 – Have to go to this world but I get to choose the school
Advertisement
Next day Xzavon rushes downstairs after he takes his bath because today is the day his parents tell him about school and the different worlds, which makes him extremely happy. Who wouldn’t be happy that they can learn about the different worlds and have your name transcend the whole universe and spread to other worlds also its like an amazing thing that he never thought would come true.
Downstairs both his parents are already up and discussing something, it seems they are talking about some Blood of the Phoenix or something like that, but Xzavon quickly ignores that and interrupts them.
“Mom, Dad, I’ve decided I want to go to the World with the most monsters and the best adventurers. That way it will give me a good challenge of my skills, no need to pick out a school i’ll just learn as I adventurer, how does that sound?”
“...”
They both look at him like he’s crazy, he is just a 14-year-old kid who doesn't know the dangers of the world. Just because this world is docile doesn't mean the other worlds are, they are extremely dangerous, just walking out the front door could get you killed and yet he wants to go to the most dangerous world. Nope, they don’t think so, he is definitely going to school first once he graduates he’ll team up with some of their relatives.
A hint of a smile appears on Jim’s face, “Boy you’re just plain stupid aren’t you, you want to go to the Celestial World where almost all the gods run wild and divine beast are. If you step foot in that world, even half a foot I can guarantee that you will die before your whole body even gets there.”
Disappointment appears on Xzavons face, “Then what am I suppose to do?”
Last night he dreamt of going to the strongest world and traveling going here and there. Learning all different kind of mage skills from people in exchange for help, he would basically become a mercenary before he would become an adventurer. Once he had enough skills he would go to the adventurers guild (If there was one), and travel all over slaying monsters and spirit beast so that his name would become famous. Once he was famous enough he would settle down in a huge town and have 5 wives, not just anyone only the strongest and cutest ones. Who wouldn’t want a dream like that, just thinking about it one more time gave him shivers.
“Me and your mother were discussing about your future before you rudely interrupted us, we are gathering the materials necessary for you to go to another world. This world might not be the best, but it's where most of our relatives are, so if you get into any trouble or need anything they’ll be able to notice. Also the once you are in that world you will go to school for 3 years, once you pass the graduation exam then you can leave the school or continue your studies for another year. After that...well lets just say you’ll know once that happens.”
Going to school was a big deal, not just for Xzavon but for his parents also. They have to put out lots of money just for the tuition fees, not to mention room and board, if they were to have their only son waste a chance like this it would be a waste of his talent. In school there are going to be many rivals for him to challenge himself, even if he said he wouldn't have fun they know that this is the most fun he’ll probably have in his life because outside of school are nothing but life and death battles.

Fighting other people over spoils of war, or just exchanging pointers could end someone life, not to mention when he fights monsters that have an unbelievable amount of strength and are cunning. If they were to send him there without any knowledge they couldn’t live with their selves which is why they already chose the best 5 schools to send him to.
“Honey, we have 5 different schools that you can choose from, all of them are located on the Bloodbore Continent. You can choose the school, but you must go to this world, that's the deal that we have discussed. If it was up to me, you would go to the number one school in the whole continent. But your dad didn’t agree saying we should just let you choose what school to attend since it will help your growth.”
Victoria laid out 5 different books with 5 different names, on those books where ‘Robust Academy’, ‘SnakeTail Academy’, ‘Black Cloud Academy’, ‘Saint Hail Academy’, and lastly ‘Concave Academy’ these are the five best Academies within the Bloodbore Continent. They aren't in order by strength, and they each have yearly battles to see which school is the strongest so the title of number one is always changing.
Holding up the “Robust Academy’ book Xzavon looks through it. Robust Academy the Academy where we teach you all about the ways of the melee class from martial arts, to how to wield any weapon. Use your offense to break any defense, if your can’t break it, then counter it and end the fight in a draw.
Xzavon shook his head and put the book down, then he picked up the ‘SnakeTail Academy’ book and glanced through it. Behold our Academies leader, Behold his Spirit, SnakeTail Academy will teach you how to beat any melee and ranged classes. We are all about using our spirit to counter theirs, don't have spirit, that's fine as long as you have the will to change the outcome.
Suddenly Xzavon felt like all these academies were stupid, they all taught you nothing good and yet they boast about being able to do this and that. When he was about to give up, he suddenly felt the urge to pick up ‘Saint Hail Academy’ book, it was as if it was calling to him. Since all the schools were the same, why not just go to this one, at least something at this school draws my attention.
“I will go to this school.” He said pointing towards Saint Hail Academy.
A surprised look appeared on his parents faces when he said he’ll go to that school, it wasn't that they didn’t want him to go there it was just that he didn't even read about the school at all.
“Why go there? Whats so special about that school?” His dad said curiously.
Thinking about it, that was actually an excellent school for his son to go to, but he wasn't going to tell him that. He just wanted his son to grow up and be strong enough to look out for his well-being instead of being this cocky bastard child he is now.
“No reason at all, I just feel somethings different about this school. Therefore I choose this one, even if it's the wrong choice its better I find out after I go there.” Xzavon said with a strong resolution as if nothing way going to change him mind. His parents notices the look in his eyes and nodded their head.

“OK, you have about 1 month before the school exams begin, so i’ll help you train until then. But first let me tell you about this school since you decided not to read about it.”
Thus Xzavon began to listen to his fathers words, although towards the end he felt as if he was going to doze off. Saint Hail Academy, a school were students do what they want and are only governed by the student council. The student council are all students who excel in strength and are the top 10 within the academy. Their words are the law, even teachers don't get in their way because they are the pride and joy of their school. Students don’t make trouble for them, and teachers give tell them about the best skills. Not only are they strong, but they all have someone or something backing them, so most of them are stuck up brats.
The teachings of this school is different from other schools, you only have to attend class once a week if you want, classes are divided by what you want to learn and skill levels. Teachers only teach you the basics, and if you want to learn something new then you will have to either pay the price or you will have to learn on your own and hope your lucky.
“Dad, how do you know so much about this school if you are always here…?”
“Hahaha, you forget your father was once an amazing adventurer. You’ll learn that once you go to school, you might even meet that kids son.”
Jim wasn't lying when he said he was an amazing adventurer, if adventurers had ranks then Jim would be one of the top ones. He wasn't going to tell his son that because once his son went to school everything would come to light. He once fought an 8 headed hydra while battling against an ice dragon, that achievement led him to be known as one of the greatest adventurers of all time, but right now all he cared about was his son.
However Xzavon never would believe his dads story about him being an amazing adventure. His dad? Yea right, if his dad was that good then his mom must have been a monster because she's always beating on him when he does something wrong. The way she looks, he couldn't even imagine her beating up a goblin if he seen one.
“Oh yeah honey, don’t worry about looking for us once you attend school. We’ll be with some relatives taking care of some business for the future, once you graduate someone will come pick you up.”
Xzavon looked at his mom like she was full of mystery, “What business?”
“Well when you attend school we will be finishing our original goal, which was to beat the ice phoenix spirit beast. For that however we will have traveling for a while around 2-3 years looking for it because it might have changed locations.”
The Ice Phoenix, its flames aren’t hot, but they are extremely cold. One touch and your body would instantly freeze up and become an ice sculpture. But this Spirit beast is extremely important for them, it is an SS rank spirit beast and they were planning on capturing for Victoria but now that they found out their son had so much spirit power they are going to give it to him as a graduation present.
They also need to take care of the savages that are trying to expand their territory, if they want to keep being one of the 11 lords. Being a lord means they have tons of power and they each have a few people with spirit power being over 2000 not to mention they have people who have reached level 300+ which isn't something normal people can reach. If there are 11 lords then what will their ranking be, naturally the Phenix are ranked 1 but its been up for discussion for a long time now that the other lords have been expanding their power and gobbling up new recruits. This is one of the main reasons they need to go back, to teach them a lesson on who not to mess with, but they couldn't achieve this goal without their son being of a good age to attend school.
“Boy, it’s about time I start your training, so that you wont make us lose face when you attend school. We would be the laughing-stock of the whole world if you attend school with that meekly strength of yours, after i’m done with you, you should have ample strength to protect yourself.”
Xzavon points out one finger towards his father and mother, “I hate one condition to attending school, since I naturally won’t enjoy it if i go by myself I want to take my friends to school with me.”
“WHAT!” Jim felt like his heart was going to jump out of his chest. “You want to take those 3….You have to know son that they aren't anyone special you can find people like them all over the place. I can give you hundreds of people with their strength.”
“Jim, you can’t replace friendship that easily, if he says he’ll go if we let him go with those 3 then let him take them.”
Xzavons eyes were shinning with hope at his mothers words, at least she gets him.
“But honey you must know that they aren't that special, if they were to attend school with you that would mean they would probably get bullied and you would hardly have to strength to defend them.”
“Dont worry, Dads going to train them too. When he does that everything will be fine if they attend with the same strength as mines or slightly lower.”
