Zero to Hero (Prequel/prototype)

Chapter 58. Feirvenn Academy

After a rough start, the rest of the stay in Feirvenn fared much better for the pair as Genesis led Ken around the city and the two visited most of the major attractions the city had to offer while enjoying each other's company and grew even closer.

"Let's go visit Feirvenn Academy. When I was in Yelwraek and Darrumburgh, I didn't even go visit the academy in those two cities." Ken proclaimed as the pair enjoyed some breakfast after spending a few days touring the city.

"What's there to see anyways? School is on break right now so there shouldn't even be anyone there." Genesis replied, not interested in visiting a school.

"Nope! From what I heard, unlike Dragonspire where we are from all over the world and all go home during the break. A lot of the students are local at the other schools and quite a few would stick around to use the school's facilities. Besides, who cares if it's empty! Let's go check it out and see what the other schools are like! I have never seen another school before since I have never been until I was selected!" Ken said happily as he grabbed Genesis's hand as the pair headed out from the restaurant.

After Ken flagged down a carriage and asked to be taken to the academy, the pair enjoyed the scenic views as the carriage strolled through the town, heading towards the academy.

"WOW! This academy looks even better than the king's castle we visited yesterday! I guess it doesn't have to be Dragonspire for an academy to be rich compared to everything else in town." Ken commented, impressed by the massive stone castle ground that's much more impressive looking compared to the regular clay buildings.

"Here is the entrance!" Ken said excitedly as the pair walked around the premise of the academy.

"How are we going to get inside? We aren't students here." Genesis asked as the two arrived at the closed front entrance gates without a guard in sight.

Similar to Dragonspire where the entrance gates are mostly closed unless there are major events going on, the students and staff are able to enter freely through the side door with their bracelets as activation, something similar seemed to be implanted here as well where a closed rotating gate prevented the pair from entering the academy. .

"I guess we have to wait to see if any guards show up to let us in or if any students or staff happen to be around. Or I can just jump us in and see what happens." Ken replied as he wandered around looking for someone to let them through the gates.

"Do you two need some help? Are you looking to enroll?" A voice asked from behind.

"We are just trying to see if we can get a tour of the place." Ken answered happily as he turned around to greet the person who just spoke to them.

"Oh. I know you. You are the lover boy." The woman replied as Ken turned around.

"Yvette Aster! Why is one of the top ten heroes here?" Ken asked as he came face to face the beautiful human hero who served as the hero for the kingdom of Feirvenn.

"I mean, I am the hero hired by this country. Shouldn't I be here in Feirvenn's capital city? The real question is why you, lover boy who's life is in dire danger, is wandering around carelessly." Yvette asked as she observed Ken curiosity.

"Ken! Stop staring at her! You are in this mess because of your lust!" Genesis scolded as she started pinching Ken's cheeks.

"Calm down Genesis. All of the heroes are older than 50 or 60 right? I am sure she is married or something." Ken replied as he started pinching Genesis back.

"If I hear you implying I am old one more time, I will take you out on the spot and present your head to the king of Yelwraek." Yvette replied as she guided the pair through the gates.
