Culmination Records 10 To Enter The Academy 1 9

Eddra had heard about these two in his groupmate in the military. That groupmate of his was the human definition of a chatterbox. Ask him a thing and he would reply a thousand paragraphs.

This friend of his had much information about these two, more than anyone could imagine. He mentioned that Saldimir, or sometimes the middle-aged man preferred to be called Saldi, could control time and manipulate people that he uses telekinesis.

The certain thing he had done in front of people was bending a spoon and breaking gla.s.s. However, these two items were already bent and broken before Saldi showed it to others. Saldi simply turned back the time of the items were they were still not curved nor shattered to thousands of pieces. On top of that, he was also known to be a cunning man and someone who loves manipulating people.

Of course, his friend had something he knew about the other young man, too, the one who was born and destined to be a genius mage. Idris' power was the light, and with his light, he could do many things.

If Saldi loves fooling people and entertaining them, Idris was the complete opposite of the middle-aged rotten man. Idris did not want to interact nor never heard spoke to other people, like ever. However, despite this, he was kind to the people and did not care the slightest of their ranking, unlike the first man described.

What added his curiosity to Idris was, his friend said, he graduated a year from the academy and worked under the military after, without telling his purpose.

Eddra blinked his eyes, not able to believe that the two powerful beings who he only heard from a friend of his had set foot to their residence. If Eddra's dumb self was the one porting the present body, he might simply shrug off the importance of these two.

Ding!

"... Eddra?" was his mother calling him, "You will see these men in the academy. They were the ones the dean sent to deliver your uniform."

'... Wow, Mother. You have such powerful peers. To be able to send two powerful individuals for a small errand was lame... and simply bewildering.'

Despite Eddra feeling his hands shaking from the sudden overwhelming power from the two, he did not fail to draw a pleasant smile on his lips. "I understand, Mother." Eddra reached a hand on Saldi of which was accepted immediately.

"Sir Saldimir, I am Eddra Issac Orhom..." Eddra placed his other hand on top and shook the guest's hand smoothly. "Please to meet you," he cheered. If Eddra had heard the information of these two a year and a half when he was in the military, Idris must be presently just a year younger than him.

"Hm... Likewise, Sir Eddra." Saldi broke off the handshake and smiled back to Eddra then after moved his gaze to his second brother. Seeing this, Eddra took the chance to state what he had read on the new plate.

"... [Status Check]," he barely whispered, avoiding the men to hear him.

'Ah... What are these question marks?' Eddra thought to himself, asking if the [System] was broken. Despite thinking that he might have broken it, Eddra tried it on the other guest, whispering the same words.

Noticing no difference, Eddra's eyebrows were drawn together as he mumbled, "... [Hide Status Check]."

"Well, why not a short break for the guest? The gentlemen must have worn out themselves from the hours of traveling," was his mother's invitation, however, was declined by Saldimir.

"I am afraid we can not, Baroness. We still have a problem or two to carry out. My deepest apologies." Saldi brought a hand on his chest and bow slightly. While he was talking, the young man, Idris, handed over a package to Eddra of which he gladly accepted. "I, my mate, and your son shall see each other the day he would arrive in the academy," he continued, lifting his gaze to Eddra's mother.

With her brows frowning, the Baroness simply curtsied. "Be safe on the road ahead, Good Sir."

A nod and Saldi turned his back on them, entering the carriage then followed by Idris. Eddra and the other two individuals with him watched them as they added distance to their residence.

"Ed," he heard his mother called him, "Was the gentleman's name was Saldimir?"

It was at this moment, Eddra felt more f.u.c.ked up than ever. Maybe he just drew attention without his knowing. 'Argh... s.h.i.t...'

Ding!

[You've completed the Tutorial!]

...

Eddra ran around outside the mansion for four hours and barely half continuously, completing his morning routine he had accustomed in the military. The feeling of restlessness just won't leave his entire body as he gradually picked choices that would change his destiny, even though he knew he was simply dreaming.

In addition, the incident yesterday was something he could not brush off in his mind. It was a stupid mistake, calling the gentleman despite not introducing his name. To Eddra, it was such an embarra.s.sment. Saldimir must have thought Eddra was a fan of his. Well, Eddra simply hoped that Saldimir would have the mindset of himself as a famous man in which why most individuals knew his name.

Stopping on his tracks and bringing his hands on his waist, Eddra breathes heavily. He had almost achieved the hours of his running while he was in the military. Setting his attention to the single plate floating before his eyes, Eddra chuckled to himself. Everything was working smoothly more than he expected.

Eddra walked near the wall and leaned on it while he was trying to catch his breath. He noticed that when he was running for too long, the servants started to get worried. Some tried to stop him while the others hand him over a few refreshments.

Mayhap, drawing too much attention was not the right thing to do. Sooner or later, his mother would get worried and asked if something was troubling him, after all, she was a kind and loving mother.

"You are overworking your body, brother," Eddra heard a voice behind him.

"Oh, Everette."

"Don't run too much. Mother is asking me earlier to what was happening to you and what caused for the sudden change in behavior," Eve informed his brother, placing his elbow by the window and leaning on his chin on his palm. "I do not think you have changed though. You still cause nothing but trouble, older bro."

Eddra could not help but laugh at his second brother's words. "I will try to behave myself, Eve!" he beamed.

"Lord Eddra!" a voice was calling his name from afar. Not long after, the figure revealed himself in the distance, it was Gale.

"... What is the matter?" was Eddra's question.

"Ha... Wait for a minute, Milord... Let this old man catch his breath." Gale, who was panting, inhaled a deep breath and blew out slowly. "The Baroness... ordered me in haste to help you prepare for your leave for this afternoon," Gale informed his master, barely able to regain his breathing.

"That early?" Everette b.u.t.ted in shock to the sudden announcement.

Patting his brother's head and messing his hair, Eddra smiled at him. "Hey, bro. Take care of the household for me," he softly said as he followed Gale and walked away, leaving the dumbstruck young man.

"Do you ever get hungry? You didn't touch the breakfast I personally delivered in your room," the butler asked-- more like a scold to Eddra.

"Of course, I do. I was simply busy exercising," Eddra defended himself.

"Is that an exercise? You were likely exhausting your body."

"Okay, Mom. I'm sorry." Eddra raised his hands in defeat.
