ONLINE: Blades of Eternity

"Wake up Kaelen!! You are going to be late!!"

"Urmm...?" Kaelen mumbled as he struggles to wake up from his bed. But the moment his eyes were open, he instantly saw Morris right in front of his face with an anxious expression.

"Woah!! You are too close, too close!!" Immediately, Kaelen backed away with lightning speed as he exclaimed with a flustered look on his face.

"Huh? What do you mean am to close?" Morris who seems to be completely ignorant of what he has just done asked with a confused look on his face. But Kaelen didn't give him an answer as he has already began taking in deep breaths.

"Well quickly get ready or else we are going to be late for the second introductory class" Morris said calmly as he turned and started walking out of the room.

"Huh? What do you mean we will be late for the second introductory class? When is it starting exactly?" But right before Morris could walk out of the room, Kaelen hurriedly asked with a confused look now on his face.

"We just have 10 minutes before the class starts" Morris answered without turning to face Kaelen.

"What!? Sh*t!!" But when Kaelen heard him, his expression quickly changed as he stormed out of his bed and room entirely.

"Should I wait for you or go and save a seat for you!!?" Morris exclaimed while he looked at the door inwhich Kaelen just went into.

"Saving a seat should be better!" Not long after, Kaelen gave his answer from inside that room. When Morris heard him, he simply nod his head as he said before he began to walk out of the lounge.

"Ok!!"

'But how did he know that placed he just entered is the bathroom?' But before Morris could walk out of the lounge, he suddenly thought with a strange look on his face. But he didn't know that Kaelen basically went into almost all the room in search of a place to urinate, he even went into his own room while he was asleep.

The only room he didn't enter or dared to enter was the room that belongs to Ethan. He didn't even pause in front of the room, he just zoomed past it.

And so, Morris left for the introductory class while Kaelen was currently cleaning himself up in the bathroom. After a couple of minutes went by, Kaelen suddenly stormed out of the bathroom and went straight to his room.

But he didn't stop there. As soon as he went into his room, he went straight to his closet as picked a some of his uniform and quickly made it to disappear in his hands.

"Damn!! This is really handy!!" Kaelen exclaimed with a satisfied look on his face before he quickly put on one of the uniform.

'I still have 3 minutes left, looks like I have to skip food again. But in the bright side, let's see how far my Quick steps can take me' Kaelen thought wryly as he suddenly went out of his room and the lounge altogether.

The moment he went out the lounge, he began channeling his mana. As soon as he began chenneling mana, Kaelen felt a sudden surge of energy course through his legs. His body felt lighter, his senses sharper. The world around him seemed to blur slightly as his perception heightened.

He took a deep breath, then launched forward, his movements a blur of speed and precision.The stone pathways and archways of the academy zipped past him in a rush of color and motion. With each step, Kaelen felt his feet barely touch the ground, propelled by the Quick Steps technique.

The wind whipped through his hair, and the sensation of speed was exhilarating, almost intoxicating. He navigated the twists and turns of the campus with ease, avoiding students and obstacles with a dancer's grace.

"Am almost.... There"

As he approached the central courtyard, the grand architecture of the lecture hall came into view. Its tall, imposing structure loomed ahead, the intricate carvings on its facade illuminated by the golden rays of the setting sun.

Kaelen's heart raced—not from the exertion, but from the excitement of mastering a new skill.With a final burst of speed, he ascended the steps leading to the lecture hall in a single bound. He landed lightly at the entrance, the force of his arrival causing a small gust of wind to ripple through the area.

Kaelen straightened, brushing a few stray hairs from his face, and glanced at the large clock mounted above the door. He had made it just in time.Breathing a sigh of relief, Kaelen dispelled the energy coursing through his legs. The world around him returned to normal speed, and he felt the usual weight of his body settle back.

'Right on time' Kaelen thought as he calmly yet confidently walked into the lecture hall. But the moment he did, almost all the students in the hall placed their gazes in him.

"Hey look, Kaelen is here"

"Why does he look different from the last time I saw him?"

"Well he has been with one of the pillars of the academy for three whole days, so It should be guaranteed that he will change."

The moment they placed their sights on Kaelen, they began to have a discussion within themselves. But Kaelen himself didn't seem to care as he started going through the stairway in between the chairs in search of where Morris is seated.

But he failed to notice a gothic looking boy who is looking at him in a revengeful manner.

"Enjoy your glory days Kaelen, I will soon have my revenge" The gothic boy suddenly muttered under his breath with the revengeful expression still on his face. Apparently, this gothic boy is none other than Kelvin who is the son of one of the pillars of the academy.

"Over here Kaelen!!" Not too long after Kaelen started to look for where Morris is seated, He suddenly heard a familiar voice which made him to quickly turn towards that direction.

Who he saw was obviously Morris who seated at his left. And there was obviously an empty seat right beside him.

"There you are" Kaelen said before he walked up to where Morris is seated ND sat down on the empty seat.

"How did you get here so fast?" As soon as Kaelen sat down, Morris asked with a curious look on his face. It wasn't even up to five minutes did Morris arrived at the lecture hall did Kaelen showed up.

"That is a secret" Kaelen replied with a mysterious smile on his face. But right before Morris could speak, he was unexpectedly interrupted by a very loud voice.

"And we are back!!!"

Right after, All the students seated in the hall put their attention on the two people who just walked into the lecture hall. One of them was none other than Professor Gareth.

As for the other one, it was girl which possesses a striking, ethereal appearance, accentuated by her cyan-colored hair. Her hair, a soft yet vivid shade of blue-green, flows smoothly down her back like a cascading waterfall. It has a silky texture and a slight sheen that catches the light, giving it a glacial, almost otherworldly quality.

The color is cool and calming, reminiscent of the deepest parts of the ocean or the coldest icebergs, enhancing her already chilling aura.Her eyes, set beneath finely arched brows, are a piercing shade of pale blue, almost like shards of ice. They are sharp and observant, with a depth that suggests a keen intellect and a watchful nature.

Despite their intensity, her eyes often hold an expressionless gaze, rarely betraying any emotion. They seem to look through people rather than at them, giving her an air of detachment and mystery.Her facial features are delicate and refined, with high cheekbones and a slender nose. Her skin is pale, almost porcelain-like, with a cool undertone that adds to her icy appearance.

She has thin, pale lips that are usually set in a neutral line, adding to her composed and unapproachable demeanor. Her expressionless face rarely changes, maintaining a calm and serene look regardless of the situation, as if she is untouched by the world around her.Her presence exudes an aura of solid ice, a palpable chill that seems to emanate from her very being.

This aura isn't just a metaphorical description; it's a literal sensation that those around her can feel, as if the temperature drops slightly in her vicinity. It's a manifestation of her cold, composed nature and possibly her magical affinity. The air around her feels denser, almost frosty, reinforcing the impression that she is as unyielding and unapproachable as a glacier.

Her clothing often reflects her icy aesthetic, with a preference for cool colors like whites, silvers, and blues. She dresses elegantly, in a style that is both simple and sophisticated, emphasizing her regal and untouchable aura. Her outfits are always neat and immaculate, adding to her image of perfection and control.

Overall, the girl with cyan-colored hair and the aura of solid ice presents a formidable and enigmatic figure. Her expressionless face and cold demeanor make her seem distant and unapproachable, like an ice queen isolated in her own realm. She is a person who commands respect and perhaps even a bit of awe, her presence as chilling as it is captivating.

"Sh*t!! What is she doing here!?" Morris exclaimed with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Do you know her?" Kaelen quickly asked with a curious look on his face. When Morris heard him, he didn't know if he should cry or laugh as he replied.

"You really are a useless person without me huh? She is currently the second strongest person in the Academy and she is known as the Ice Jade Princess"
