Douglas paused and after filling in another paper he gave Kevin a badge, it was a sun with an M inside, he then asked him : “I saw that Alan had accompanied you personally, so did he tell you about the registration fees ?”

Kevin nodded and pulled out the 20 gold coins needed : “There you go sir … I mean Douglas.”

Douglas smiled and took the 20 gold coins, he then turned and grabbed a magic bag that was on the table behind him.

He handed the magic bag to him and said : “Here are the fournitures needed for your beginnings as a mage.

There is also your schedule and your room number inside, there are not many rules in the sect but the ones we have are very strict so be sure to respect them.”

When he saw that Kevin was nodding his head he finally said to him : “Come back here in two days we will leave at 6 pm and we will not wait for the latecomers, understood ?”

Kevin smiled and said : “Yes sir … well, I mean Douglas.”

When Douglas saw that Kevin was embarrassed to call him by his first name he suggested : “If it’s really embarrassing you, you can call me uncle Douglas, is it better this way ?”

Kevin was relieved and immediately said : “Much better, thank you uncle Douglas, see you in two days then.”

Kevin got out and put the magic bag he had just received straight into his, then he walked back to where he had seen Axel training.

This man’s sword technique was truly exceptional. It had always been enough for him to observe a technique to learn it, and same if before sword technique didn’t interest him, now that he was in this new world, he wasn’t against expanding his knowledge.

Unfortunately for him the handsome Axel was already gone, he was a little disappointed but he would surely have more opportunities in the future to admire his technique.

Looking closer he saw that this was a training ground, there were all kinds of weapons set on a very long table and there were targets all over the place to be able to practice.

Kevin smiled, it was good enough for him, he really needed to relax a little bit. In addition, it would allow him to familiarize himself with this new body.

He walked over to the table but he didn’t find what he was looking for, there were daggers, but it was a bit premature to use them.

He looked around then, and he finally found what he was looking for, a broom would do just fine. Taking it, he realized that the broomstick was just nested in the plinth, that was great, he wouldn’t need to break it to be able to use it then.

So he took only the broomstick and walked to the center of the training ground.

He performed a few simple movements to test its balance and once he was sure he had a good control over the stick he began to spin it around him and then used some fighting techniques that he had created himself.

Axel, after letting off steam on the training ground, was hiding on the roof right in front of him, he was hiding in the shadow of the other building so that he could enjoy some peace and quiet.

The new recruits this year did not inspire him anything, moreover, those who came from weathly families were as usual very arrogant and always believed themselves superior to others.

Axel was an orphan and when he was eighteen he had entered the Sun Sect. After that he had worked hard without a rest and unexpectedly, when he was twenty he had shapeshifted into a wolf for the first time.

And luckily for him, the elders of the Sun Sect had guided and helped him so that he could master his shapeshifting and used it to get even stronger.

He had continued to train hard and was now considered a genius among the Sun Sect’s fighters, these young people who came from weathly families would be quickly disillusioned.

There was no privileged in the Sun Sect, everyone started at the same level and received the same treatment.

His thoughts were interrupted when he saw a young man entering the training ground, it was the first time he had seen him here.

He had to be new and judging by his handsome face with still a childish air, he couldn’t be more than 18 or 19 years old. His body was rather tall and slender even though he looked a little bit too thin.

He followed him with his gaze and when he saw him walk into a corner where there was a broom, he saw him take only the broomstick with him.

He then went back to the middle of the training ground and after only a few minutes he couldn’t take his eyes off this young man.

He had never seen this fighting style before, this young man was damn good but after only 20 minutes he stopped, breathless.

Axel shook his head and thought to himself that it was such a waste that someone so talent was in such poor physical condition.

He saw him then walk over to the table where there were weapons and he then saw him pick up two daggers.

He saw him testing them and when he was ready he saw him throw the first dagger at the target that was close to him. The dagger hit the center of the target, but this young man didn’t look satisfied.

He was about to throw the second one, when suddenly he turned around and threw the dagger straight at him.

Kevin had sensed a presence that had been watching him for a while, but he thought he or she would end up leaving on his own.

Only, after throwing the first dagger, even though he had hit the target that he wanted, he was really pissed off that he had such a weak body.

Kevin had probably never done any workout to stimulate his muscles, he was going to have to fix that and quickly.

He had gotten the information he wanted about his new body and instead of quietly leaving, he had decided to find out who had been watching him all this time.

So he had thrown the dagger that was still in his hand at the wooden beam that was near that shadow, and a few seconds later he saw Axel land in front of him and the latter handed him the dagger he had just thrown.

Kevin was shocked, he hadn’t even seen Axel moving, he had just seen the shadow disappear and Axel appear in front of him with his dagger in his hand.

He asked too shocked to hide his amazement : “How did you do that ?”
