Rise of the Twelve Star Mage

Chapter 30:Making His Presence Felt

The next day in the early morning in the capital city of Oriana.

"Ahh it's time"

A young man with brown undercut hair, a low skin fade, a brown iris in his pupils that match his hair color, and black gloves. He gets up from his bed as he prepares for school. His black button-up shirt, black slacks Aurora Saint Academy uniform, and first-year emblem on his collar, with a little cape at the end of it like a knight.

"Jericho" a female voice calls to him.

"What" he responds.

STEP STEP STEP

"What did I say about your tone of voice young man"

"Jericho," a male voice says. "Be nice to your mother"

"Of course Father"

"My apologies Mother but I need to make an impression. The first day my arrival was outdone by the Twelve Star mages and the exemption students"

"You would be up there too if our travel to Aiz was quicker. Transportation from Zellar too here. " his mother spoke.

"Just remember son you just as good as them. Also, you're a dragon you'll be on the same level or even greater than theirs" his father spoke. "How many Twelve Stars are located in this school"

"Three. Leo, Virgo, and Aquarius. There were a few other students who were on the same level as them, but there was one who was an outlier to the bunch. The irregular no-mana Vaelrus Marina is a skilled weapon handler who has no mana. Somehow he was able to defeat a Twelve Star with no mana whatsoever."

"Did you say, Marina?" the dad spoke.

"Yes Father why is that significant"

"There was once a mage on the Federation that went by name and met his end years ago. If that is Marko Valerus's son he would be a formidable rival"

"Is that so father then that means" Jericho takes a pause. He then thinks for a moment by putting his hand on his chin "Hmm yes second day it's time to have my presence felt"

Jericho Pearson makes their way to school.

"What shall I say to him Valerus Marina I challenge you. Hmm, not it "Let's duel Valerus". No prepare for trouble make it. No just make it simple" Jericho says as he arrives at the front gate.

"Today is my-"

WARP

"Look out!"

BANG

Jericho gets knocked down as two people fall on him.

"Uhh, what was."

"Val why did you do that"

"I mean he was just standing right in front of where everyone gets warped from the Teleportation Zone"

Valerus and Eriko accidentally land on Jericho.

Jericho temporarily gets knocked out. The two talk about the collision standing by Jericho's feet waiting for him to get up. Jericho slowly begins to get his senses straight as his vision still needs to come back.

"Is that you Val-"

STEP STEP STEP STEP

"Valerus" Ezekiel yells as he comes full sprinting at him.

"Ezekiel good morning," Valerus says as he moves to the side.

"Huh"

BAM

"Uhhhhh," the noise Jericho makes as Ezekiel lands on him.

"Ugh aye thanks for cushioning my fall man," Ezekiel says as he taps him on the chest.
