The young man prepares his sword and his dueling pistol in case that he will use his magecraft. From what the young man has known for in the military as The Living Vengeance. He is at the path of justice as his father that did follow the same path that his father became one of the strongest heroes in the country. Chris's magecraft is not that simple to learn but a pain in the butt to master. His magecraft consists of Strengthening, Enhancement, Focusing and the magecraft of light weapon. His weapons are a long-broad sword called Sade, the dueling pistol called Nacht. and his dual bowie knives called Dire. Basic elemental magecraft like lightning is one of his key offensive magic especially if he uses his pistol because he is very deadly when it comes to long range fights.
He left his dorm and went to the gym for his duel with a princess. The fight was on the princess gave the first attack but it did not hit in fact it missed. The princess gave her magecraft some use and went really serious on it while on the other hand, Chris is just keeping up on his defense by the overwhelming focused attacks that the princess gave unto him. He quickly counters her with a swing of his sword. The princess quickly blocks it with sweat dripping from head-to-head the battle is fierce. The princess did not expect that this battle would be long and some students started to watch the battle from 5 students to hundreds the gym became a colosseum and cheered like they are watching two gladiators fight to the death. But the battle continues sparks fly from every angle the sword and her gauntlet clashing. And then when she fell off on her defenses the young man changed the form of the sword and turned it into a scythe, everyone was at awe when the sword changed form she was also surprised about that but in one moment...
He ignored her and released his pistol and shot the window. The princess stops "What's wrong with you? There are students who almost got hit by your gun!" The young man replied in a deep demeanor. "Princess... DUCK! *shoots the student behind her* That student there isn't a student. It's a rogue vampire!" The student who got shot replied. "Oh, so you shot me? Interesting... You know vampires don't get affected with normal bullets you imbecile!" The young man replied. "Did I say that the bullets were normal in this gun? Activate auxiliary chamber." the gun opened a special chamber and he struck a small canister inside it and shoots it on the vampire. The vampire screamed "Arggh! How?! How did that bullet get through me?!" The young man ran towards him. "Everyone get out of here!" The young points the gun at the vampire. The princess was confused yet she did follow what the young man said. The principal quickly barricaded the gym with barrier magic to prevent the vampire from escaping.
The young man slashed his sword towards the vampire, the young man missed yet at a split second the sword changed from turning it into a hook he pulled the vampire close to him to attack him with the hammer that the hook changed form into. The vampire called for mercy but the young man said. "Mercy? You killed 35 students for your own power and used one of the dead students as your disguise, you make me sick." The young man strangled the vampire while there's a knife stuck in his heart. Killing the vampire in a slow but clean manner. The young man loosed grip dropping the dead vampire. "I killed a person... When I thought that I don't want to kill anyone anymore and yet I killed another one..." The young man did what his instincts wants he absorbed the dead vampire as a way of punishing the soul of the vampire keeping the vampire to his own power. As a count that is the young man, he needs to kill to continue having the title and rank of a count which is very important to our young man here. The Principal went in to check and he was surprised that the vampire that was the suspect was exterminated by the count. "Wow, took you long enough." The young man said towards the principal. The principal replied. "Well, cleaning the carcass is not a problem anymore. I guess that was a bit creepy, to say the least." The young man chuckled then proceeds with a reply. "I need to go back to classes but what I know that the princess saw what I did in here ain't I?" The young man looked at the window on the other side seeing that she was indeed intrigued by what she saw on the part of our young man.
An hour has passed...
"Hey, I was intrigued by how you punished that rouge vampire and seeing that I saw your records that I was expecting this kind of performance, seeing that you are the son of the Countess of Shinn. One thing you should know before you go. Watch your back, because at any time a terrorist could be lurking around the school at any time." The princess warned the young man about the danger in the school, but she was cut out by the principal. "I'm sorry but you shouldn't worry about those things any more Mr. Bathory. Because this school is very heavily guarded now than before because of that vampire incident. You should see the local magus check on your state on your magecraft because I think your magic is very unusual and our local magus wants to know and to record that kind of magecraft. His name is Nex, but do be careful of him because he could test your casting speed when you enter his quarters." The principal gave the young man some instructions to the quarters of the magus.
After a small walk, he is in front of the stone door that is the door towards the magus quarters. It is said that 'to speak as a friend state thy name and enter' after saying the young man's name the door opened. The magus was waiting for him. "Mr. Bathory I supposed? Am I not right?" The young man replied. "Yes, I suppose you are Mr. Nex? I was called here to be recorded?" The magus opened a book and replied. "I suppose so that is the case with you here being a melee focus and everything but having magic support your body is way, way unusual... As the next Count of Shinn, I guess that makes sense. Your circuits seem to be normal though it looks like it was modified to focus more on your body rather than out to attack using your unusual magic. Seeing that you use your magic in a way that like someone is supporting you in the backline like a small raid party was two of your mages is backing you up with powerups." The young man did understand what the magus was trying to explain his magic circuits. Yet the magus did discover the unusual trait of his magic circuits... "Is this? This, I'm surprised that you had this in you this marking of the goddess... The Goddess of Shinn, this marking means that you have one of her great gifts! Show me your weapons now Mr. Bathory." The young man did show all of his weapons. The magus points at his sword. "This... This is Sade isn't it?" The young man nodded. "The Sade that changes form to represent the lands of Shinn. The Sword represents the tall trees and the mountains. The Scythe represents the tall grass in meadows. The Hook represents the abundance of rivers and lakes. My, my what beauty it is to look at. Tell me where did you find it?" The young man replied in a know-how manner. "It was in a secluded mountain while I was hunting in the mountain a mysterious girl said to me that follow the fog for it is said the whereabouts of a person waiting for me. I followed the fog where I reached a point of where I cannot return, I entered a cave that the mysterious girl keeps telling me to go in, I went in with the knives in my hand just in case. And after that...
A bright white light came to me and I realized that I'm in a cavern and the mysterious girl holding the sword told me. 'For your courage to go following me as trust that I will not hurt you and by believing in yourself I hereby give you this the Sword of the Earth, Sade.' After she gave me the sword I was transferred back to where I was. With the sword in hand, I quickly went back to my cabin and told to my uncle. My uncle told me that it was perfect timing and said that 'Train yourself to master the weapon know it's strengths, weaknesses, and limits. To the extent that the sword became a part of you.' So I did train to the extent that the sword became a part of me." The magus replied. "Intriguing... Truly you are deserving of having the title of The Count Of Shinn."
The young man and the magus became associates to one another that the magus became a
personal teacher to him on basic magecraft. They had their conversation for hours about the methods of using the said magic in ways that they might change the rules of magic. While they're at it, the princess caught up on the news that the magus of the school became an associate to the new student and became more curious about the young man...
