The Death God

Trial of Kings and Queens - Part 2

It was dawn by the time Azreal got up to walk back to the city, but when he got up, he sensed something and looked beyond the horizon of the forest. The magic that Azreal sensed made him smile.

"Seems like there's a storm brewing." Azreal thought as he walked back, but as he was walking, it could be seen that his shadow split multiple times and went off into different directions. This was how he gathered information. Each shadow is a being created by him to gather information on anyone and anything. The shadows could even read others' thoughts and emotions. If others were to know this, they would say he was stalking others, which would be true, but Azreal has different thoughts on this matter.

After he got back to the city, he headed to the academy to prepare for the Trial of Kings and Queens. He was, after all, the King of Information. Although people know him as an info broker, people also know that he is someone they shouldn't mess with. Those that tried either ended up dying or regretting it.

Martial Academy was one of the largest academies on the continent. This fact made both the teachers and students an arrogant and proud bunch. As Azrel walked towards the gate, the guards saw him and tried to block his way.

"I may look suspicious, but you should know who I am." Azreal said, making the guards flinch remembering what happened to the last guards that tried to block his path. The guards backed off and Azreal entered the academy. Classes had already started by the time Azreal arrived and even though it was against the rules, both the students and the teachers are scared of punishing him. 

"Today should be about magic control." Azreal thought as he opened the door and walked in, making everyone, other than the students at the back, silent. Azreal walked to his seat at the back only to see a group sitting there.

"Move." When they heard this, the group started laughing.

"You want us to move?" The group kept laughing, which made some students that were closer flinch.

"Fuck off." One of the arrogant kids threw a punch. When the other students saw this, they moved to the other side of the classroom, as they knew what would happen next. Azreal punched at the fist flying towards him and when they touched, the arrogant kid was surprised, then started screaming. His whole arm exploded. When the other arrogant kids saw this, they paled.

"Just shut up already." Azreal said to the arrogant kid from before, but the arrogant kid kept screaming and crying. Azreal then punched out once again, aiming for the arrogant kid's head. The screaming stopped. The arrogant kid's head splattered all over the windows and the other arrogant kids from before.

"Now move." Only then did the arrogant kids react. They hurriedly moved out of the way. Only then did they notice where the other students were located. This scared the arrogant students and made them regret this decision. Only then did they remember something and looked at the teacher.

"What are you doing? Didn't you see what just happened? He killed a man." The arrogant kids had a ray of hope shining in their eyes.

"I didn't see anything." These four words surprised the kids and they looked over at the students.

"I didn't either. Did you?"

"Nope, I didn't see a thing." This shattered the arrogant kid's hopes and they looked back at Azreal, only to see him looking out the window. There was no body. No blood. Nothing. This made them think that what they saw was only a illusion, but the students being on the other side of the room and their missing buddy made them dismiss this thought. Only then did they feel the coldness of the room. He froze the blood and body and shattered them into small pieces.

"What? Impossible." The arrogant kids said. Saying this made them flinch when they remembered what happened to their buddy. To their fear, Azreal turned to look at them, but he then turned towards the teacher, making him flinch.
