Rise of the Malactric Heir

After the girl left the scene with her people Alix had finished working and went home to call it a night but as he did so the earth rumbled and as the princess stepped out of the car she felt the rumble under her feet and her eyes widened.

'I think we are in big trouble this time" the driver said as she looked at the castle by the hills and sighed.

'Let's go home" she said as she walked away while Alix looked out the window.

'What was that? earthquake?" he asked with a shurg then went to take a bath.

When the boy finished, he had his dinner, did his homework then went to bed, while he was asleep a black marking appeared on his entire body, glowed red then disappeared.

The next day, Alix got up early and was ready to go to the academy except this time, he took the train there.

Upon arriving at the station he came out and headed straight to the academy where he bumped into a teacher and she looked at him then sighed for she was the same teacher that he met on his first day.

"Good morning, sorry," he said.

"Good morning, it's fine. here" she replied as she gave him a small banner and he looked at it.

"What is this?" he asked.

'It's a competition or you can call it a tournament, it happens once every year, I am sure you have heard of it before" she responded.

"I have seen it on television, the prize money is a lot," he said.

'Exactly now there will be students from all of the academies in the five kingdoms, you can sign up for it if you want, it starts in two days" she replied and he sighed.

"I need the money for the hospital fee if I am going to get myself treated and working at the bakery will take too much time," he said to himself as he went to his class and she followed him there for she had to greet the students.

" I wanted to tell you I will join to represent our academy" he replied and she smiled wickedly as she looked at him.

"You do know it's both humans, non-human as inhuman too will be fighting right?" she asked.

'Yes, I do know, my chance of survival will be just before the finals, I will make it into the semi-finals, i will be able to earn enough money by then also come back and study" he said and she sighed.

'You want to go just to make money not to improve your skills? I have read through your history... you are an intelligent student, studies are not supposed to be your top priority well that's in my opinion, of course, I cannot believe I am saying this to a student... you are the top in this class ... I can tell that even though you have just joined, you can keep on studying if you want but there are better things that you can be doing are you sure you just want to enter for money?" she asked and he looked at her.

'Yes I will continue studying and yes I want the money, I need the money" he responded.

'How about I make a deal with you?" she asked.

"A deal?" he asked.

"You believe you are skilled enough, the tournaments do not start as yet, you have to get a team, we will assign the members representing this academy, they will be strong, also if you lead the team to victory... I will double the money, you get half of the money that you win, only if you want the tournament though" she responded and he clenched his fists.

'I accept but I am not sure if I am strong enough to lead the team to victory, I will give it my best shot though since neither of us has anything to lose" he said and she smiled.

'You are smart, practice fighting with the others and you might lead the team to victory, I doubt you will though, due to your lack of skill, the only thing you are is a pretty boy who is intelligent, good luck though, by tomorrow or later in the day, I will send you info on your team" she replied then he scoffed and last down as she greeted the class.

'What you have there?" a guy asked as he walked up to Alix and collected the banner.

"Oh this thing is dangerous to participate in," he said.

'Yeha I know" Alix replied.

"You know, are you planning on joining?" the guy asked.

'I think I might" he responded.

'Well if you are then, good luck man, in last year's tournament one guy didn't come back home, others got really messed up by their opponents" he said then left.

"I have no family, sick and I need the money, I can fight, I just need to train harder, so I am signing up," he said as he grabbed the banner then took the form off of it and started signing it.

When he finished the teacher walked into the classroom and he went up to her.

'Here" he said and she smiled and then collected the form.

"The information will be sent to you Via message and I wish you good luck" she replied.

'Thank you" he said then went to sit back down as the school bell rang and their class began.

While he was writing his notes, Alix held onto his stomach as he inhaled and exhaled softly.

'This is getting worse with every day that passes by" he thought.

After hours at school, the teacher came back to Alix.

"You will need to go by the arena later, you will meet a few of your teammates there," she said.

'Got it thank you" he replied.

'You are welcome, don't let us down kid," she said as she walked away and he clenched his fists.
