"It's true" Ahren interrupted,
"What?" Tara looked at her perplexed,
"He is telling the truth" She continued,
"Is this your spirit telling you, Ahren?" Tara closed up to her and said as she was annoyed,
"Yes, I summoned Libra after I asked the question, and since this boy is on his feet unharmed he is certainly telling the truth," Ahren replied,
"Um… what if I had lied?" Where is this spirit? Is she bluffing? There is nothing I can see.
"You would've woken up in jail after a few weeks, that's all I can tell you now, let's get back to the business. What is your purpose behind coming to the Academy?" Ahren gently smiled, and I knew she wasn't joking about knocking me up with her spirit
"To get stronger," I don't want to get back the way I was, that's what kept flowing in my mind.
"Why do you seek strength, for revenge?" Ed looked at me,
"Revenge probably will be nothing but a small purpose. What I want is to change things in this Kingdom no the whole world for good, even if it takes me to do some shitty stuff,
I don't want to become a hero that's for sure, neither I want to become a revolutionary to this Noble society but I don't want to see anything or anyone in front of me doing whatever I find wrong, if they do I don't want to just sit back and watch, & for that, I'll what I should, you know what's the most stupid phrase people use to console and hide their incompetent self,
'"'I should've done that BUT!''"
I don't want that but in my life ever again, either I'll fight and win or I'll fight and die."
Hearing this Edward sighed and walked to an empty chair beside Ahren and sat on it.
"Hmm… as we tell every student that no ambition is good or bad, it is up to time and circumstances which decide it, so, for now, what should we do with him, innocent or not he is still a person that shouldn't be here as you already failed the mana degree test, you don't even have adequate mana to attend the tournament, so I'll suggest you leave-"
"Wait! Please give me a chance to prove myself. I didn't waste my two years in the Garden to run and hide for my entire life just one chance."
I don't want things to end like this if only I can get one chance.
"But-" Edward tried to say something but got cut off by Tara who was smirking cunningly.
"Fine then, I'll praise for your guts to stepping into the academy after being in a situation like this but let me make one thing clear also,
I hate weaklings! So I'll give a chance,"
"Tara, are you sure?" Ahren looked at Tara,
Tara got off the table and walked close to me, her height was up to my elbow, I turned my gaze down and she was smiling, her smile seemed far scarier than her anger a while ago, and spoke,
"Of course! It's getting boring these days, So let's spice things up!
So boy listen here,
I'll let you participate in the Grand Selection but if you want to be selected in the academy you don't just have to pass the Selection but
get in the Top 10 of the Selection ranking."
She poked my chest with her finger and continued,
"But if you don't, you have to confess your crime publically."
"But as I said I didn't do anything!" Does she want me to take the blame for the crime I didn't commit?
"And we heard you boy, but you know there is one thing about this shitty life and that is, this life is a fucking gamble!
If you want to win something you gotta put something on the line too,
so how about it? I will personally put the word for you, so you can participate in the Grand selection even though you failed the Mana Degree test,
As you know there will be three stages of the Grand Selection test,
First will be The written Exam,
The second will be A King's domain game,
And the third will be one 'o one combat matches known as the Final Crusade,
Rules of each of them will be told before the beginning of the stage and as you already know more than 16000 candidates participated and only 800 will be make into the Stage First,
of the the Grand selection this year and only 40 of the students will be selected for the New batch of this year.
So tell me, are you willing to take the chance?
If you are scared then, there is also another option"
She turned around and put both of her hands on the back of her head and walked away to the table but after a few steps, she turned to me and grinned, looking at me with her mocking eyes,
She uttered,
You can also leave the Academy this instant and we'll turn a blind eye to it, so tell me what will you do?" She finished and walked away to the table and leaned on it with her arms crossed.
If I run away now I can still live my life without any trouble but if I take on this bet I have to win or I'll be sentenced for the crime I never did, well
I never had many choices in the first place either,
I need to get stronger but before that I need answers.
