The Uprising Hero

Erik (P.O.V)

"Wait you mean training? Now?!!" I replied.

I then realized what he meant from the start. From the looks of it, he is in a hurry to leave. I don't blame him, but I never know the training will begin immediately and I said yes?

This is crazy!!!

Authur: Now is the time kid. But always remember… "Crime Never-!?"

Erik: *Interrupts him* Okay okay I get it just… don't start lecturing me about it…

I rolled my eyes playfully knowing what he might say. Of course is one of his quotes. I keep on hearing them at the Academy every now and then. And it's freaking annoys me hearing them from the students who are supposed to be "Future Heroes".

Erik: But…. What about my stuffs. I mean my cloths, books, my work out gear, my-!?

Arthur: You worry to much kid. The place we're heading will provide the necessary needs for your trip *smiles*

He smiles back at me causing me to re-think my decision. There is something bugging me making me worried. Is not me leaving the school or this hell hole. Heck! They'll not even care that I'm gone. They'll rather throw out a party for my misfortune and celebrate to their hearts content. But that's not the point. I need to tell the main problem even thou he might know… just need to be sure..

Erik: I don't even have or know how to use "KAI"….

Few seconds was gone and the room began to be filled with cold breeze. He already knew that but I had to be sure. I waited for answer and saw something different on his facial expression which seemed… off. Before I knew it, I felt a sharp pain across my head.

Arthur: YOU IDIOT!!!!

[Bang!!]

He punched my head so hard it felt I might cry out of pain. He swiftly turned towards that same direction he looked before. His eyes began to glow taking it color being crimson red. With a smirk on his face and the pain I felt for few seconds, I glared at him about to lash out on what's in my mind-!?

Arthur: And who said anything about using "KAI" my dear student. *smirks*

Ellen (P.O.V)

Is been 30 minutes and still can't find his room. This mansion is huge! I can't even remember the last time I visited. Perhaps he has been changing rooms lately. Or maybe is because of me…

I shack my head clearing my thoughts. What is done has been done. I regret what I said but still make it up to him. Taking a step forward I halt gazing my surroundings and sensed something.

Someone is watching me.

Who will be dumb enough to invade this mansion? One of my dad's enemy or maybe assassins? Maybe they came for Erik….

Soon came into realization, I was in high alert channeling my kai to sense the area. Within seconds… I found my target.

Immediately I ignite my hands with my "Fire Flare" as the flames dances around it ready to disintegrate my enemy…

[Meow!]

It's a cat? Why is there a cat walking in this mansion.

I studied as it approached me with strange runes on it eyes. Is kinda cute looking at it closely. But that won't fool me. I shoot blazing hot flames towards it as it [poofs] out into white smoke.

Ellen: I knew it was a "Familiar" 

A familiar is typically a companion or spirit bound. Some can have the characteristics of insects and animals like a cat. On some special cases, they could even be humans. Their man purpose is to often serve as extensions of their master's will, providing assistance by spying or observing to gain information for their summoners or their masters.

My suspicious was right from the start. An intruder has invaded my home. And I need to find them as soon as possible.

Immediately the atmosphere became tense. A huge invisible force crushed me to the ground. The force was filled with bloodlust I've never felt before. My breath became much heavier whiles sweating buckets.

I tried to raise my head and surprisingly I succeeded but what terrified was this huge red crimson eyes watching me. I felt fear for the first time in years. It was like the eyes was reading me deep down in my soul.

Is it judgement day so soon?

I almost lost all of my senses. This is way too much. I began to gather kai to withstand the pressure. I grith my teeth struggling to pinpoint where it came from.

Ellen: *thinking* Where are you?...

I released my kai finally breaking up the pressure and traced it. The aura was way to huge for a normal person. I sensed two people. One with a calm yet disturbing aura and the other without any aura but a broken spirit…

Ellen: Wait…broken spirit…*soon realizes* ERIK!!!

Without a second thought I zoomed across the Halls of Valorheart dodging any obstacles on my way from tables, ladders and chairs-!? Wait how the hell did they came from?

[BAM!!]

I burst into the room where I traced it. I looked to the left and saw a broken lamp. I used my senses once more and from traces of kai. I turned to the right seeing a broken window and a picture frame of Erik lying beside it.

My nightmare came into reality. I can't believe this is happening. I went on both knees in despair. I became devastated. I wasn't here in time to save him as tears began to run down on my cheek.

This was Erik's room no doubt. This place brings out a sense of loneliness and looks like a crime scene which says it all…

Erik was kidnapped

Ellen: *Tears up uncontrollable* I'm sorry Erik… I'm so… sorry I couldn't come in time…

(General P.O.V)

Days turned into weeks, and weeks stretched into months. The world moved on but for Ellen, time stood still. Six months has passed since Erik vanished without a trace, leaving behind only unanswered question and haunting silence.

At Arcane Academy rumors began spreading that the reject has been kidnapped but no one didn't care less about it but rather relieved that he should rather be dead. In the school everyone saw him as another face in the crowd-a failure in a world of brilliance.

All of his hard work and his name was more of a joke than a memory. So when he disappeared, no one cared to look. After all, what was one less failure in a school of legends?

But Ellen was affected by his disappearance. Within those months, she investigated behind their backs of the school's residence and her parents and found nothing. No traces could be found. As if he just… vanished…

Within the school a class named 2-B is filled with second year students in yellow uniforms both male and female. The class seat in front was seated by young lady with dark long raven hair followed by her red irises matching her dignity as most powerful person in class. She's none other than the "BLAZING QUEEN" herself… Ellen Valorheart…

Ellen: *seated whiles lost in deep taught*…

Student#3: *whispers to his college* Dude… I can't believe that he got kidnapped.

Student#5: *whispered as well* Saying "he" you mean… the loser, Erik right?

Student#2: Shhhh *quickly shush them both* She might hear us..

Student#1: Oh please she doesn't even care about that loser. It will even be better for him to die instead.

Everyone laughed after hearing his statement causing a bit heat changing the class atmosphere.

Ellen (P.O.V)

That's it!! I can't take it anymore hearing them insulting my brother!! This has gone too far.

Before I could blow up, the opened as their teacher entered. The teacher had her books on her left arm standing in front of the classroom.

Teacher (???): Alright everyone, listen up. I have an announcement to make.

The classroom became silent immediately she said that. Everybody knows not to mess her. She might look innocent but she's really dangerous. What was her name again? *sighs*

"They got lucky this time." I murmured inwardly before the teacher glared at me shutting my mouth instantly. Damn she's scary…

Teacher (???): Echem! The school's authorities have decided to host an event for all students for both first years and second years. And for you to ask any questions…

She looked at a random student who quickly hid her hands out of embarrassment making most student laugh out loud but quickly paused after glaring at them, she continued…

Teacher (???): This a mock battle to test your strengths individually and also an opportunity for both first and second years. If you pass the test, you'll be promoted to the next rank *similes*

Students: *yells in excitement* HELL YEAH!!!!

 The class began yelling in excitement. This is an opportunity for us to be promoted to another rank, rather waiting for the semester which is like 3 years to come

Yes, that's right. In every class has their own syllabus and own semester. The higher the years the difficult it becomes, and currently I'm in Class-B.

Thou are easy for me, some of them are stuck in the same rank or repeated to a low-rank. That's how tuff the system is in Arcane Academy. But that wasn't the case at all.

I, even got astonish just a little. Just thinking about the test made my blood boil out of excitement. Maybe Class-A-!?

Then something hit my thought…. Erik.

My self-esteem lowered to the bottom immediately thinking about Erik. But I never lost hope for him to returning. This might be an opportunity for him to pass to join either Rank E or D. I dunno but I have this feeling he might return but my question, was he actually kidnapped or will he return safely?

Teacher (???): Okay! That's enough! Now let's begin…
