Chapter 9:

The Academy

The Phantom Eye


After a couple of weeks, Billy asked Lydia about the school system in the kingdom as he wanted to go to one. She replied "there is the kingdom underground Central Academy but you don't need to go there you can learn whatever you want here in the castle"

"Come on it's going to be fun let's go there together and we are both the same age anyway," said Billy with a smile on his face"Well you know, I can't refuse especially when you smile at me like that, but Thanks for asking anyway," said Lydia while looking away. 

They went to a cave in one of the mountains that led to the underground central academy. As they were walking down, Billy felt that his body became heavy "is the gravity stronger here?" Asked Billy.

"Yeah it's one hundred times stronger" said Lydia"And why is that" asked Billy" it's too keep the empty eyed weaklings away " said Lydia."So education is not for everyone here, I guess that makes sense from what I've seen so far" said Billy while looking down

They kept walking until they reached the entrance of the academy and there they found a boy arguing with the guards " please let me in it took a lot of time to get here" said the boy "We don't care how much time it took you get here, go back to trash can that you came from" said one of the guards 

"Please I beg you I'm at my limt I wouldn't make it back alive" said the boy, The guard had enough, he kicked the boy's chest, then said while his was foot is still on the boys chest"Then why don't you die you peace of trash" Billy couldn't handle the guards behavior and lunch, a punch on the guard's face. 

The guard fell to the ground with his hand on his face. He looked to see who punched him. To see it was an empty_eyed kid. The other guard pierced in laughter, and one of them said " how pathetic you got knocked out by an empty eye kid.....ahahahahah" The first guard was furious. He took out his sword and said " how dare you filthy insect touch me with your filthy hands.... I....ill kill you" And before he could do anything, Billy lunches, another punch that sent him  back to the place where his comrades were standing. 

The guards all looked behind them in disbelief of what had just happened as they saw their comrade unconscious on the ground, then at the same time they all took their swords out to face the empty eyed kid.

Billy looked at them with a serious expression and said while his crystal started to glow " who else wants to go to sleep" They all froze as they knew that Billy was way beyond their level. Billy and Lydia took the boy with them inside the Academy.

"Who are you" said the boy ,"I'm Billy and this is Lydia, and you? " said Billy. "My name is Leon it's a pleasure to meet you Billy" said the boy. "Nice to meet you too Leon, here swallow this pill it will restore your energy" said Billy as he hands him the energy pill.

"But master this pill was made for you not for some random pathetic weakling" whispered Lydia to Billy, "Lydia, it's not a good time for your racism, just because he got three cracks on both eyes doesn't mean he is weak" said Billy

"Whatever" said Lydia as she looked to the side, "Anyway, Leon from now on you are coming with me, wherever I go you go, do you agree?" Said Billy. "well It's not like I can refuse, in the end you did save my life, So Yeah I agree" said Leon. "But Master...." said Lydia. Billy looked at Lydia and said "Lydia behave that's an order". 

"Then it settled, lest go and register our names" said Billy. They went to the registration office and there was a man with an armor on, he looked at Billy with a disgusted look on his face, and said " an empty eyed kid a weakling and a slave, if you think this is a trash can then you got the wrong address".
