Longinus Academy, Club Heads

At the moment, the whole Longinus Academy was in uproar.

The student council president and the strongest student in their academy, Princess Rias, was finally returning after six months of outside training!

The freshmen were eager to see her while seniors awaited her return.

"Princess Rias is coming to the academy?"

"Really?!"

"So we can finally see the youngest Legendary of the Empire, eh?"

"But I heard that she is coming with the trial's candidate."

"What?!"

"Do you think…those seven will stay quiet about this?"

…

As Aleron, Rias, and Roxen exited the carriage before the academy gate, a few hundred students stood in the open grounds before firecrackers and flowers blasted into the sky.

"Welcome back, President Rias!"

"Welcome back, President Rias!"

Aleron was taken aback. 'It seems she is popular here. And president? Must be student council president or something.'

"Silence!" Rias's voice rang, freezing Aleron beside her as this was an unexpected response from her.

He saw an icy expression on a stern face when he glanced at her.

Instantly, the ground turned silent.

"This is not allowed on the academy grounds. Go do your classes and activities," Rias's voice rang while all the students smiled and scattered away in silence.

"What's going on?" Aleron muttered in confusion.

"This is her when she is at the academy," Roxen chuckled. "Everyone respects and listens to her."

Rias wryly smiled, "Sorry for the trouble, Ale."

'It seems that this girl has some admirable achievements to her name,' Aleron was curious about her feats.

"We'll meet with the Club Heads first," Rias said to Aleron before turning to Roxen, "Roxen, you go and inform the announcer about the candidate news."

Roxen nodded before a pair of blue energy wings appeared from her back and she flew towards the central and biggest building in the academy campus which was 20 stories big and circularly wide.

"You must have a flying skill, right?" Rias asked.

"Yep. I can fly. Where are we going?" Aleron nodded. It was easy to create a flying skill with his current knowledge and prodigious talent.

"At the back of the campus, to the Academy Club Area. That's where students train, practice, and compete against each other. I have to inform my friends about the news as well."

"Sounds cool, let's go," Aleron grinned.

As the duo flew over the central building and other buildings in the surrounding, they crossed a patch of woods 400 meters thick before arriving in an exotic area bustling with students.

'I could already feel a lot of magic pulses, but damn. Everyone seems to be having fun.' 

Aleron was excited.

Past the giant and long trees, he saw three floating platforms where students sparred against each other.

On the ground, there were unique shapes of buildings clearly constructed with magic, tree-houses, and various structures of big sizes.

But the biggest was a building akin to a fantasy castle made of stones and crystals. It was 10 stories tall and massive wide, with seven unique towers sprouting from it, indicating the seven Club Heads of the academy.

"You see those seven towers? They are the strongest clubs of the academy, and their leaders are the seven strongest students," Rias said with a smile, her eyes showing that she was eager to meet them. "They are my friends."

"Who is strongest among you all?"

Rias chuckled and said, "I am strongest if we fight for real, but there is someone more skilled and talented than me."

"If I don't use my Bloodline powers, he can win against me," she added with a wry smile.

'Bloodline, eh? Interesting.'

They soon arrived at the Club Castle, moving at its closed giant doors. Unlike the other areas, this castle was utterly silent. Aleron didn't see any students nearby or anywhere around it.

"Come," Rias walked towards the gate, which automatically opened when she was a meter away.

Just as Aleron stepped inside, he saw seven people standing ten meters away while facing them.

Three beauties and four dudes looking in their early twenties. They wore the long academy black robes with different badges on their shoulders and different design stripes on the robes.

'Damn…the dudes look handsome and girls are world beauties,' Aleron thought as he looked at their figures and looks. 'Meanwhile, I look like a young Chaplin or a Sailor? Tsk.'

Compared to them, he indeed appeared average, with a plain white loose shirt on his lean figure and creamy trousers…he purely chose these clothes because of comfort and he really thought he looked good and chill in these, and he liked it.

But looking at these people…

'Comparison can go to hell. Screw it,' Aleron stopped thinking about it. 'I am good as I am, humph.'
