Death still wasn't able to join the army. But there was away. Many young men come to join early. But that they would is see if they really want to. The training is spliced into groups. A.that is the nobels.B.that is the high class or commoners with high magic.C.The higher Commoner.D.Poor commoners that know a little magic.E.the poor commoners that know nothing of magic. He was to be put in E were they only learned combat but not magic. If they were tested on every 2 months to see if they could raise in rank. So even if you were poor, but you had great magic skill you could become a A. class rank. If he truly wanted to be in the army he would have to keep up in his training and learn magic by himself. If he were to rise to class C. then he would be able to stay. Due to not truly being a student he couldn't sleep in the school, but in the barn. The food would not be free. He would most likely have to find his own food and make it. Apairly out of the 12,000 people that try this only 1 normally successed.

   He woke to Bee ;that was the horse he roomed with;The horse had taken a liking in him. He petted her and ran to the battleground or more of a plain grass field. It was 6:00 and class started at 7:10. Before he had laid rest in his new room, he had gone to the local library and check out a old book of spells. The book looked at least 55 years old. The school had its own library ,but of course he wasn't allow. Do wonder only one stayed with this contention. He spent his time reading to better use stand the spells. The teacher was 30 minutes early, but he was still the only one here. She must have not seen him,"I wonder if any of them will come only 2 out of my 30 kids last year didn't come. Yet these kids are know in rank B. But it's still 30 minutes till."

  25 minutes past by she still didn't see him. No one had come yet. By the time it was still one minute she got up,"No use staying if no one is coming."

  She started to walk away. Death yelled out," Miss I am here to learn, and have been here scents 6:00. Do you, yet not see me? When indeed I am in your eye line."

She turned around shocked,"I have a student?"

"You had 2 last year. What is the difference?"

"Most low farmers wish only to help with farming,and do not come. The orphans they sented. Get jobs not wanting to die when they have freedom, and you look a bit young."

"I'm 13, so I'm doing the 2 month program to be in the army."

"Well at least you showed up. Many of the young kids brag about this, but don't come to practice. How are they going to raise in rank if they don't know the fighting skills? Do you have any fighting skill. Seeing as you are my only student. I can teach you anything."

 "I have some fighting skill, and if I'm the only student can you teach me magic too?"

 "The reason that E. class people only learn to fight is because magic is a strain on your body. It runs out easy if you don't have a lot of mana or are not strong enough to take the pain at is forced onto you by creating magic."

"I am a little good at fighting. Elk saw me fight a bit."

  "Sir Elk,he is the teacher for C. class. I'm surprised he decided to pick up kids. Was Sir Sun there because the're best friends. So I'll show you a faster way to talk by magic. Spirit call!"

  A rabbit came from her hand and she whisper something then it ran off,"This is a low level spell, it doesn't take much mana. You use a spell called Spirit call. When you use this spell your spirit animal comes, and you can tell a message so the spirit travel to the place you need the message to go. Here why not you try. Put your mana into the palm of your hand them yell Spirit Call."

   Death didn't see why you would yell the spell. It would show were you where. He wanted to try if it would work without yelling. Death raised his arm and thought of a thing that could sent message, but also people would know it was him sending the message. A thin line of mana started to form into a reaper. Instead of a animal he had a reaper which fit his name well.

"What the heck. Why is your spirit a creature not a animal?"

"Well I guess it goes with my name."

"What is your name?"

"Death."

"Is that a code name, and do you have a last name?"

"No to both of them. That's what everyone calls me, and I don't know if that is my true name. Because I don't know my parents."

  Elk was coming up the hill with 10 other students. Death was so freaked that he hide in the tree near. He wasn't normally shy, but he wasn't good at talking to people his age. Elk was looking around,"Rabbit you said that you didn't have many students, but I didn't think you wouldn't have any."

  Rabbit looked around,"I did have one, but I guess he is shy. Death come out. I brought them to have a joined practice. You want to learn magic than come out."

  Death jumped down, but everyone started to stare that him. So on impulse he jumped behind Rabbit, but Elk wasn't having it pulling him from behind. He looked at his kids,"Look kids this is the boy that hurt my shoulder. He sure is a fighter. We're going to learn with him ok."

    Some of the kids looked a bit jealous, but they agreed. The 2 months past easily in a way. With the students trying to kill him. Every time he would do well in magic. Some how someone would 'Accidentally' throw fire magic at him. A normal person would have died, but apperly he was really resentful to magic. He was terrified by the thought of spending the rest of the year with them. If he past tomorrow.
