Chapter 102 A New Ezio...

As expected, Ezio already knew that the people at the academy were unexpectedly short tempered. He could just have walked away and left but he was in a bad mood and now these people came to provoke him even more.

The fireballs that were sent his way suddenly disappeared and the man who attacked him was confused. He attacked again and just like the first, all of these attacks were swallowed by a sudden distortion in the air.

Ezio also disappeared from where he was and appeared behind the group. He then waved his hand and a dark hole formed behind them with the fireballs coming out from it. Loud explosions shook the entire building where they were and when the smoke subsided, the people who were blocking Ezio's way were on the ground.

They were knocked out by the same attack that the leader used against Ezio. He looked at the group that lay unconscious on the ground and sighed. He could already hear his stomach protesting and he even used his magic, now he was even hungrier.

Without giving the group another look, he continued on his way to the canteen for some food. He could feel the fearful look being thrown his way but he decided to ignore them all. This was also favorable for him because nobody would bother him again.

Professors and students came out from the rooms to see what was happening only to witness a group of boys that were unconscious on the ground. One of the professors asked the students to carry them to the infirmary. After the spectacle, the incident reached the headmaster of the academy.

"He is too willful for us to handle. He doesn't listen to anyone. He doesn't socialize and very difficult to approach," the headmaster sighed.





He listened to the account of the witnesses and didn't know what to do. He can't expel him because of the Magic Tower and he didn't know how to explain it to the parents of those he had injured.

"What should we do now?" One of the professors asked.



"I'll contact the Magic Tower and tell them to deal with it," the headmaster sighed. "They are the ones who brought him here, so they should take responsibility."

That same day, a message was delivered to the Magic Tower detailing the incident and asking them to talk to the parents of the injured students. Another sigh sounded inside the silent room after the man read the contents of the letter.

Archmage Ragus rubbed his head and looked at the piece of paper on his table. The first time the child opened his eyes, he thought that he was easy to coax but he was very wrong.

The child kept on glaring at them and refused to talk. When he was brought to the Hall of Vestige where the seal in his mana core was removed, he still didn't speak. After the seal was lifted, he was immediately escorted to the Hall of Time. He didn't get any news from the archmages on that floor until a month later.

They instructed him to enroll Ezio at the Magic Academy with the excuse of letting him learn all about magic. Ragus was confused as to why they needed to send him to the academy when he can be directly taught inside the tower? Then he got his answer when he saw the child.

That day, Ragus entered the room where Ezio was waiting and saw a skinny young man. He could already tell that the child was tense and was on guard because of how stiff he was sitting. He wanted to talk to him but all he received from him was a fierce glare.

He was like an untamed animal that would pounce at you anytime you provoked it. Because he believed in his capability, Ragus still tried to approach the child but he was suddenly pulled back. He looked behind him and saw a swirling wind that was trying to suck him.

He managed to extricate himself from the wind that was pulling him and managed to land a safe distance from the young man. Ragus frowned as he looked at the thing that almost got him. Behind that swirling wind was pure darkness and he had no idea what would happen to him if he got sucked in.

He gave the young man another look before he looked at the guard who accompanied Ezio. "What was that?"

"I also don't know but according to the elders, it is a kind of magic that is very rare and very important to the tower. They didn't tell me anything more and all I know about it is from rumors from the Hall of Time," the guard answered. He also looked at the young man and shivered.

Ragus narrowed his eyes as he fell deep in thought. "Is this the reason why they wanted him to be enrolled at the academy?"

"According to the instruction passed to me, he is to be enrolled to the academy to learn about magic and to reassociate him with other people since he had been cooped up in the tower for a month. After a year, he would return to the Magic Tower." The guard did not hesitate to relay the message. It was a bit weird but he can't question the decision of the elders and could only relay it.

Ragus was also confused at the instruction but no matter how he questioned it he can't go against it. He can observe for a little while slowly understanding what was happening. "Alright I understand, you may go. I'll take it from here."

The guard sighed in relief after he was dismissed because he did not want to stay in that room any longer. That child has a strange power and it doesn't sit well with him so it was better to leave and let the archmage deal with it.

Once the guard left, Ragus slowly approached the child and stood in a safe distance from him. "I don't know what happened during your stay at the Hall of Time but you can't disobey orders. If you resist, they won't stop and when you enter the academy, you'll have at least a degree of freedom compared to staying here."

Ezio's position was complicated and Ragus knew that fully well. He was forced into the Magic Tower thus he was no different from a prisoner and something must have happened in the Hall of Time that was why he said those words.

"Is that true?" This was the first time that he was hearing the child's voice. It was a bit scratchy and deep maybe due to him refusing to speak.

"Yes, even though you can't leave the academy as you want, you'll at least see the outside of the tower and you won't be tied in here. You'll still have people who will watch you so just stay at the academy and learn everything you can," Ragus explained. "If I were you I would go to the academy or do you want to return to the Hall of Time?"

Ezio's entire body shivered with restrained anger that was visible with his fists that were tightly clenched on his lap and with his jaws that were clenched. He did not want to return to that place. If the man was telling the truth, then he could plan his escape while he stayed at that academy.

"Then I'll enter the academy," was his simple answer. Ragus prepared his papers and he got him to enter the academy even though the school year already started.

The archmage sighed again, it seemed that the child hadn't lost his untamed personality. Although this was the first incident, he can't let this go on or else the reputation of the tower will be smeared. He stood from his chair then he walked to the middle of the room and closed his eyes.

After mumbling a spell, a white light enveloped his entire being as he disappeared and reappeared inside the headmaster's office. He needed to deal with this and also talk to Ezio.
