Celestial Bloodline

As the morning light shone brightly upon everyone's head, all the students present inside the Academy were seen leaving their rooms.

Some diligent students were wearing the Academy's special blue color uniforms but others were just roaming around in regular clothes because wearing a uniform wasn't mandatory.

The uniforms of each year were basically the same. A long-sleeved blue-colored shirt with black pants but unlike the first year's plain shirts the second-year students had 2 straight white lines present on their chest while the third-year students had 3 lines.

Just like any other diligent student, Alec woke up early and after wearing his uniform he left his room but instead of going to the classroom he arrived in front of the library.

If one looked closely he could see dark circles under his eyes. He stepped inside the library and saw the black-haired old librarian who was different from the one he saw a few months ago.

The old Librarian sitting in the reception present on the first floor of the library gazed at Alec and just nodded with a wry smile. The dark circles present beneath his eyes were even darker than Alec's. He was just assigned to the library two months ago and had to maintain the whole library himself without any help that's why he hadn't slept properly for the past two months.

At first, he was happy to get a good job inside the famous Royal Academy but his happiness vanished when he arrived at the Academy. The Academy was huge but the staff was ridiculously low! Sometimes he wonder how the hell the old Librarian took care of such a huge library alone.

Alec nodded back at the old man. He didn't go to the higher floors of the library because he wasn't there to buy any skill core or Art book. After passing through the different lines of bookshelves he arrived in front of a large rectangular-shaped table. Around the table many chairs were present and for some reason, all the chairs were occupied.

Among the people sitting around the table, he saw a lot of familiar tired faces.

"Alec is here."

A tired voice sounded from behind a large pile of books. The person popped out of his head, he had brown hair and beautiful yellow eyes.

Nine gazed at Alec and after pushing the various books present in front of him aside he made a crying expression.

"I am so tired that I feel like dying! We suffered so much inside the Tower now we have to suffer through mid-terms! It was fine if they took a practical assessment but why are they taking a written exam?"

Lara who was sitting a few chairs away from Nine lowered the large glasses present on her beautiful black color eyes and gazed at Nine with narrowed eyes. She was holding a thick book about mana theories in her hand.

"Stop speaking I am trying to understand the mana simulation theory."

"Alright Alright, I am quiet!"

Nine grumbled but shut his mouth and moved his hand to pick up a book from the table but before he could someone else picked the book.

He gazed at the golden-haired boy sitting next to him with a grumpy expression.

"Carcel I was going to read that one!"

Carcel looked back at Nine and shrugged his shoulders.

"I picked it up first. You can find a similar one from the bookshelf."

Nine narrowed his eyes but instead of looking for a similar book he just picked another book from the table.

Alec sighed and sat down on an empty chair opposite Mia. He gazed at everyone and also picked up a book.

Who would have thought the moment they returned from the Tower Professor Aliza would throw a big bomb at them?

They missed all the classes because at first they were preparing for the Tower and then they stayed inside the Tower for six months, that's why compared to other students who were present in the Academy their theoretical knowledge was almost nonexistent.

According to the Academy rules students were allowed to skip classes but if they failed the exams they were doomed.

After the ranking assessment, they were all preparing for the Tower that's why no one was able to catch up with their studies but now the mid-terms were only one week away. They have to learn everything within a week.

Professor Aliza and Vice Principal George said that it was okay if the students who returned from the Tower failed the written test because their circumstances were rare but no one present inside the Library wanted a bad grade!

Alec sighed. He massaged his temple and gazed at Nine.

"By the way Nine did you hear anything about Kyle? He left with Elder Han and never returned."

"Huh?"

Nine looked back with a smirk.

"I don't know where he is but I am one hundred percent sure he is going to fail the mid-terms very miserably, Hehe."

Carcel gazed at Nine and clicked his tongue.

"I thought you were his friend?"

He whispered but everyone was able to hear his words. Nine sighed with a sad look.

"I am but what can I do when his fate is already sealed? He is destined to fail."

Carcel threw the book he was reading at Nine with a shake of his head.

"I am not sure if Kyle will fail but I can guarantee that you will fail because you haven't even memorized the basic theories."

Nine face darkened as he grabbed the book Carcel threw.

'Damn! I am getting a nagging feeling that even though Kyle is absent from the Academy he will somehow pass and I will fail.'

He shook his head and waved his hand to dispel all the bad thoughts.

'No way it's impossible!'

Meanwhile, inside Kyle's room, he was sleeping soundly without any care when Bia grabbed his hair with her feet and yanked it.

Kyle's body moved a little but he hurriedly tucked his head inside the blanket.

-'Hey wake up! Sleepyhead. I am feeling a little hungry.'

She grumbled and tried to remove the blanket from Kyle's head but then a low voice replied.

"Just five more minutes."

Bia gazed at the blanket and with a sigh she just left him alone.

-'Just why are you sleeping so much? Are you alright?'

Kyle removed the blanket from his head and gazed at Bia.

"I am fine. I was feeling rather sleepy for the past few days but now I feel like my mind has become clearer from before."

"I am not sleepy anymore it's just I was being lazy."

He chuckled and removed the blanket before taking out a fruit from his storage ring. He placed the fruit in front of Bia and hurriedly entered the bathroom to take a quick shower.

While in the shower, Kyle gazed at his reflection in the water.

"It's a strange feeling. I felt like I lost a part of something important but it's recovering no rather it felt like it's completely gone and something else replaced it."
