Thunder God - Chapter 2 Departure
When these words were said all the students below were stunned then went in an uproar it was the first time they had seen someone that came from the 3 great colleges, even Sam didn’t know how to react!
He wanted to shine at this moment and his dream became reality but he didn’t expect that he’ll meet someone from the legendary Kraken’s depths right away.
Ottar clearly saw confusion, expectation and worship in Sam’s eyes which meant that he had a chance to get his hands on him
“Sam, I came here because I know the vice-chairman and we are in need of talented students in the north so I decided to check this batch of tested and here you appeared before me ! Don’t you think it’s destiny ? Come with me to the north, I’ll arrange for you to spend 3 years in the best affiliated high school and then you’ll be directly admitted as a Kraken”
The old man seemed frantic to get his hands on Sam. Sam was delighted but then asked the old man
” Mr. Ottar it’s an honor to get invited to join the Kraken but my element is the thunder and I heard that your school specializes in water and ice students”.
Ottar looked deeply at the kid in front of him, only 15 years old and he stayed calm under the invitation of one of the three giants and kept his thinking straight, he felt some admiration for him so he answered
“You don’t need to worry about this, last year there was an auction held by the Roc’s nest where they sold lots of relics from the past and amongst them was a book left behind by the only one from the first generation that used thunder and lightning, it was indeed a useless book to us at that time but we bought it at an astronomical price to show that we were not afraid of the Dragon’s gate. Now this book is in our hands and it will finally have a use, with this book and your S grade talent there is no difference between you and the Dragon’s gate’s S grade !”
Light shone in Sam’s eyes, 4 years ago the Dragon’s gate made an announcement that they found an S grade fire compatible kid which made them take the lead in front of the other two giants, that guy was shown on TV and Sam has seen him at that time, he was born in Australia and lost his parents in an attack by a beast horde very young, he then lived in an orphanage and had then caught the attention of the Dragon’s gate when he was graded as an S grade in the test. He took the name of Long Dier after becoming a Dragon and was adopted by Long Diyi, he was now 19 years old and was known around the world for being the youngster with the most potential.
Not only was he strong, he was also one of the richest in the world because of his father which is someone from the first generation of Hunters and he was also very handsome : deep blue eyes, brown hair, square face.
The perfect opposite of Sam but he wasn’t jealous, until today he always saw him as an unattainable existence so he was more like a fan, but now ? He can definitely fight for the place of strongest youngster in the world with him !
Sam didn’t need to think any longer and answered right away, his eyes were shining with self-confidence for the first time, he knew that it’ll take time to reach the heights Long Dier was at but he’ll reach them eventually and take over the title of strongest youngster in the world
“I’ll join your school, please take me with you !”
Of course he thought about joining the Dragon’s gate but would they let him grow stronger than Long Diyi’s son ? That was very improbable.
Ottar was infinitely happy, he looked into the chairman eyes and saw disappointment and worry.
He didn’t understand what he was worried about but he had gotten his hands onto a unpolished diamond so he didn’t need to care, he told Sam
“I’ll leave you one day to prepare, go home pack your things and say goodbye to your family and friends because you won’t see them for a while, I’ll come and pick you up tomorrow morning.”
Sam nodded and ran out of the hall, his mother was holding his little sister outside. His sister’s name was Sophie, she was 2 years old and dressed very warmly because it was in the middle of the winter at the moment so she seemed very cute with only her little face visible.
Sam ran to his mom and hugged her right away, she didn’t get what was happening so she thought maybe he failed and was depressed, she said ” Don’t worry Sammy, mom understand. It’s not important, you can just do like your brother and live a normal life. You know me and your dad aren’t living a bad life, I love this peaceful life and you should do the same.”
Sam instantly laughed, he let his mom and little Sophie which was looking curiously at him go and said “I didn’t fail mom, I got an S grade and I’m proficient in thunder. I’ve been taken in by one of the Kraken’s high schools and three years from now I’ll be a Kraken myself !”
His mom was stunned and people around him looked at him like a crazy man, what would one of the three giants come here to do ? And he even proclaimed he was an S grade.
Some people even started to laugh out loud but when the rest of the students came out of the hall the ambiance became weird, even those that made it into affiliated schools were too calm and they all looked at Sam, some with worship, other with jealousy but no one of them seemed indifferent.
People started to realize that something was weird with this atmosphere so they asked their kids, one middle aged fat woman that was laughing a few seconds ago said
” Maxime, how did it go ? Did you get a good grade ? Your dad and moms result were good when we were young so you can’t get anything bad right ?”
And she looked at him with expectation. He looked at her and robotically answered
“Yeah, not bad, I have a B+ grade. I’ll be sent to a Roc’s nest affiliated high school in the next few weeks.”
His mom was crazy with joy but her son didn’t seem like his was happy so she asked him
“What’s wrong Maxime ? Why are you so down ?”
He replied while grinding his teeth
” I could have had the best result if that guy didn’t show up, he scored an S grade, was taken directly by the Kraken’s depths and he even got compared to Long Dier by that old man from the Kraken”
When people heard from Sam nobody believed it but now every kid was describing what happened inside so nobody had any doubt anymore, a few of the people there directly went to Sam’s mother to congratulate her but she wasn’t out of her daze yet, Sam took her hand and pulled her to the car.
Finally when they got in the car she calmed down looked at her son and smiled from deep inside, she told him
“I knew it, my son isn’t made to spend a banal life ! Let’s go and get yourself ready, tomorrow is the start of your journey Sammy !”
Sophie didn’t understand anything but seeing her mother and brother so happy made her smile as well. When he got home his dad was still at work and his brother wouldn’t come home until the next weekend so he just left him a message inside his room where he told him what happened and good byes.
His dad will be home late at night when everybody was sleeping and he wouldn’t wake up until noon next day so he just told his mother to pass him the same message as his brother and went to sleep after taking dinner.
He wanted to see and talk to his dad one last time before going for so long but he couldn’t miss his flight tomorrow because he overslept right ?
The next morning after taking his breakfast he went outside with his mother and sister while holding his luggage, they took the car and went straight to the airport everybody was feeling different emotions, his mother was worried and sad that her son will leave her for so long, Sam was feeling expectant and Sophie was just playing with her fluffy toy and didn’t understand anything that was happening at the moment. Arrived at the airport Ottar was already waiting for them, at the moment he was higher in the hierarchy than Sam but in just a few years time Sam will become the Kraken’s ace so he didn’t dare to make him wait, Sam and his mother went to greet him and she acted very respectfully as her son’s future was in this old man’s hands. Before going Sam kissed his mom and sister and told her
“Mom I’ll call you every week. Sofia I won’t see you for the next few years, you better not forget me when you see me again !”
After this he waved at them and went inside the airport with the old man and went directly toward the boarding gate.
