Chapter 33: Is it going to hatch?  

The students of Royal Academy become busy with their daily lives, waking up early, taking classes, and training afterward.

This routine was similar for everyone, Kyle also followed it but unlike other hard-working students who practice day and night Kyle wasn't so optimistic, as he would only practice for a few hours before going to rest.

He wanted to become strong after finding out about the bloodline, but there wasn't anything important he needed to take care of urgently. Also, the people he knew right now were capable of taking care of themselves. That's why even though Kyle wanted to become strong he wasn't in a hurry like Alec who had seen the end of the world.

On the other hand, Alec who was keeping an eye on Kyle became more and more shocked when they sparred, because in just a single month Kyle's achievements were equivalent to someone who had practiced for years.

When they spar Kyle would always lose but as time passed his movements were becoming refined and stronger. What astonished Alec more was that Kyle didn't even practice those movements, it was like Kyle was observing everyone the whole time he stayed in the training grounds and used those moves when he fought with Alec.

Except for Alec, Kyle also sparred with Carcel. The first time Carcel fought with Kyle, not just him but everyone present inside the training ground was shocked because even though Kyle lost in the end, he was able to fight Carcel head-on for more than five minutes.

It was incredible indeed considering Kyle's talent was only (B)-Rank while Carcel was someone with (-SSS)-Rank talent.

There was also something that frustrated Alec a lot. He and Carcel with the others would practice the whole night even Nine sometimes practiced the whole night but Kyle would leave the moment the clock hit 6:00 PM. Kyle was lazy, not just a little he was too lazy.

The talent Kyle showed just in a month was enough to make others envious.

Professor Liam the training instructor was also amazed at Kyle's performance. He was tempted to take Kyle as a disciple but when Professor Aliza told him that Kyle's talent was only (B)-Rank, Professor Liam had no choice but to sigh.

What's the point of such incredible potential when he can't go beyond (B)-Rank? He found it a pity that someone like Kyle had such a low talent. If only he was someone with (S)-Rank or higher talent, he would easily be able to rival someone like Alec. In this month Kyle also got a little closer with Alec and Carcel due to them sparring with each other a lot.

At first, Kyle found Alec's friendly behavior suspicious because even when Kyle ignored him he would try to approach him, but as time passed and he saw Alec still being too friendly Kyle thought maybe he misunderstood his good intentions.

And also because thinking about the same thing for a long time wasn't what Kyle would do. He found it bothersome and time consuming, instead of thinking and exhausting his brain he would better sleep.

Kyle and Alec's interaction wasn't to the point of calling them best friends but it was enough to make them causal friends with each other.

Lara was still uncomfortable around Kyle because she ignored him first. It was also too much for her to just go and sit with Kyle and pretend nothing happened. That's why she would always drag Mia toward the back seats. Due to them, Alec had no choice but to go and sit with them.

When the first-month mark hit, Alec was the first one to break through to (-E)-Rank. He was already near a breakthrough before entering the Royal Academy but due to someone stealing his mission during the Ranking Assessment, he had no choice but to wait for a natural breakthrough.

The moment Alec broke through to (-E)-Rank, there was an uproar inside the Royal Academy. Breaking through to (-E)-Rank at such a young age was a huge achievement.

Vice Principal George also personally visited Alec and praised him in front of the whole class.

Vice Principal George wanted the kids to become competitive and the biggest reason was that he wanted to tell some lucky brat to practice hard or else he would kick him out of the Academy.

Kyle who was sitting with Nine didn't know what he did wrong to get such a cold stare from the Vice Principal. He was working hard and everyone was praising him so why was the Vice principal glaring at him?

The thing he didn't know was that whenever he was being lazy or resting the Vice Principal would see him and become angry. The Vice principal barely controlled himself to just throw Kyle out of the Academy. No one knew if it was a coincidence or Kyle's bad luck.

The next morning as usual Kyle woke up and started to prepare for class, but before he could open the dorm door he noticed something was missing. He frantically turned around and looked at the only table present inside the room, a bundle of clothes clustered around was also present on top of the table,

but there was nothing else!

'Where's the egg?' Kyle panicked. He hurriedly approached the table and picked up all the clothes, but there was nothing. He also looked below the table but found nothing.

"..Where is it."

Kyle started sweating, he clearly remembered he saw the egg last night before he went to sleep. How can he be so careless, he promised the Phoenix to take care of it.

"Dam it!"

With sweaty palms Kyle went toward the bed, he wanted to throw the bed sheets away and check around the whole room, but before he could something hard hit his left foot.

-Click!

Kyle looked below toward his feet, he sighed with relief before picking up the red egg present on the floor.

"Why are you here? You almost freaked me out."

He looked at the egg with narrowed eyes because the red color was starting to change into a deep fire color.

"Is it going to hatch?"

He walked toward the table with a questioning look. He would have studied the egg more but he was getting late for the class. That's why Kyle gently put the egg on top of the clustered clothes and was going to leave.

"Tremble...Click"

Kyle looked at the egg dumfounded, it was trembling and the moment he took a step back, it looked like the egg was trying to follow him.

"What the heck!*"

He cursed loudly. This little fella! What if after he left the room, it fell on the floor again? This time it would be probably broken.

"If you are going to hatch, just come out already. It's not like I can carry you around always. It's dangerous."

With a frustrated expression, Kyle picked up the egg and after putting it inside a small bag he tied it on his waist before finally leaving for the classroom.
