Rising of the Weakest Mage

Vol 5/Ch 50 - The D Ranks

After what felt like a long night of Allen doing his utmost best to act like a proper guest at August's banquet, he was glad to be back in his dorm at the academy.

They had gotten back really late, with all three of them tired and exhausted. Despite the highly annoyed expression on Rose's face, she didn't say a word at all. Allen suspected it was due to the sheer exhaustion.

It wasn't until they got back and went their separate ways that Rose finally spoke. After a little bit of complaining, she finally said goodbye to the two of them and swiftly made her way back to her dorm room.

"Well, she was in quite an irritable mood," August grinned. "It's best we let her get her proper beauty rest"

"No kidding," Allen shook his head.

The two of them spoke a little bit as they headed towards their own dorm rooms. Once they had to go separate ways, they then said their goodbyes.

Allen had quickly jumped into the bed the minute he could. Saying he was just exhausted at this point was just an understatement. He was glad to be back in his bed, ready to go to sleep. However, sleep wasn't easy that night. The events of that night all kept flowing in his head, keeping him awake.

The first was meeting Reynold Windblade. Allen wasn't expecting to meet him there. He seemed genuine, however there was still the issue with Allen's duel with Nathaniel. There was a chance, according to William, that Reynold himself supplied the magical artifact directly to Nathaniel. Perhaps he wasn't involved, but Allen won't know for sure unless he asked him outright one day.

The second was the dance with Rose. It was very embarrassing for him, especially when Rose proclaimed that she wasn't giving up on trying to get him to fall for her. Allen wasn't sure what she had in mind, but knowing her it probably wasn't good. Then again, it would probably be better than anything Sarah would attempt.

The third, and last, was the conversation he had with August on the balcony. The strange look on August's face as he spoke about his troubles not only as a prince, but as a regular person. Then of course, there was the fact that he claimed he would need to make an important choice later down the road. Who knows what it could be, and when?
Not too long of him sorting out his thoughts, he finally fell asleep.

The following day, he got ready and began to head to class, ready to start a regular day. Before he could get to class though, he saw a familiar face with a back to the wall and arms crossed that he was not expecting to see so early in the morning.

"Hey Allen, did you enjoy your banquet?," he said with a grinning face.

"William?!," Allen said, surprised. "Don't you have morning paperwork to do?"

"We don't talk about that," his eyes looked like they were about to die as he shook his head. "Anyways, I have something to tell you real quick"

"What might the Head Director want with me at this hour?," Allen gave him a look.

"Just some quick information you need to know. The Training Club's meetings and activities will be temporarily postponed, for now," he informed him.

"Postponed? Why?," Allen asked, a little annoyed.

"I can't tell you why," he shook his head again. "Just know that no one did anything wrong, and the club is not in danger of disbanding or anything. Just know that your activities will be closed for a few weeks, is all"
"Of course it has to," Allen sighed.

"I know how you feel. But trust me, you won't be all that mad when you find out what's happening soon," he gave a reassuring smile.

"What's happening?," Allen asked, a curious look on his face.
