At the Academy, each student was given a couple of options.

Each class had different times and many classes were going on even during the break period.

Even though a student hadn't taken up a particular course, if he had free time, he could just attend a class he hadn't enrolled in and sit at the back to learn something.

But it's on the premise that they don't create disturbances in other classes.

Alex in his free time roamed around and sneaked into these classes to find anything that could be useful to him.

To become unparalleled and unrivalled truly, he needed more experience, knowledge and insight.

He needs to train himself both physically and mentally. On this path, to conquest, he also needs some reliable comrades.

Each week, Alex compiled all the knowledge and things that had been taught into his diary.

He would keep a copy for himself and send the other to Leonhart along with some reference materials.

Ian was studying at Leonhart and was making steady progress.

Alex also wrote some scientific knowledge and passed it down to him. All these things would become the building for the children who were going to study in the institute founded by him.

If he was given the option and asked to choose between living as King and living as a student, he would surely choose the life of a student.

His current life was quite peaceful.

In Nevan, he would either go through paperwork or had to run his mind to come up with a policy. The little bit of free time he gets in between would take up guiding his soldiers.

But currently, he seems to be studying and moulding the very fundamental law of the universe by magic which was quite fun. The only bitterness he had was that he missed his wives a bit.

.....

Alex after finishing his Magic Class, Alex decided to go to the library to see some books but as he was passing through the corridor, his gaze halted at the influx of students entering the classroom.

Alex saw Riya and thought 'Why don't I take a look at Martial Arts Class.'

The honour and general teaching staff were different.

Although Alex found that the Professors were quite proficient, he found the Professor of his general Martial Art Class quite clumsy.

His teaching was quite flawed and wasn't liked by many.

Those who attended his class were the mages who wanted to hone their close combat skills so that they could become battlemages.

Alex entered the classroom and much to Riya's surprise gave her a wink and sent a flying kiss sneakily.

It made him remember his previous college life where couples flirted with each other openly in between classes causing many to become red-green in jealousy.

Since he was already a couple there was no need to hold back.

It was time for payback.

With a gentle smile, Alex climbed the small steps and took his place at the far corner of the tenth row.

He wanted to sit beside Riya but according to the rules, he sat at the back and even if he shamelessly sat beside her ignoring the rule, The Professor may throw him out after seeing him paying more attention to Riya than the class itself.

...

The class started and after listening to the lecture, Alex was drawn into it. He couldn't even feel the passage of time.

Instructor Edwin was at Mythic rank and he seemed to be fairly well versed in combats

It was a hundred times better than Goddess Of War class where he was thrown around here and there like a sandbag.

Alex could see the fire burning in the eyes of students who were taught as a result of passionate words.

Warriors were considered inferior to Magicians but Edwin's words roused their spirits.

He explained the basic requirement to become a Warrior.

A strong mental strength, daily practice, resilience to suffer the pain and undying will to get up after getting defeated.

"Kicking, striking at weak points, parries, elbows, knees, punches and various evasion tactics along with well-coordinated stances and footwork can facilitate either defence, attack or both."

"Your mind is the centre of everything while the body is just a puppet. Remember, you can lose half of the battle if you falter even before the match begins."

"No matter how much you are afraid of, no matter how much, a voice rings in your head to give up, you need to overcome the fear and fight to give it your all."

"Realm and strength don't decide everything. Sometimes with techniques, you can take a giant leap in the battle." Edwin explained with a serious expression.

Edwin saw a boy raising his hand and permitted him to ask his doubt.

"Professor, according to you which is the best weapon to fight?" The boy asked curiously.

"Hmmm!" Edwin nodded and asked him to sit down.

"This is a good question. Most weapon users are conceited about their weapons but believe me, there are no absolute best or worse weapons."

"Weapons are just a way to manifest oneself. A tanker with a shield shows bravery, a swordsman shows eloquence, and an Archer shows his meticulousness."

"Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Only those who could be skillful enough to use the weapon overcome the disadvantages, in the weapon could become true masters in life." Edwin muttered.

The questioning section went on as he gave a fundamental lecture and pointed out some flaws.

As he answered everyone's queries, his gaze fell on Alex at the corner who was listening to him attentively which surprised him.

He was present at the meeting and watched Alex's live performance.

Quinn and he could be considered rivals and he knew Quinn like the back of his hand.

Quinn praised Alex which meant he was an exceptional mage but he always had an inkling feeling that this kid was equally strong in Martial Arts.

It can be said to be a sixth sense or a premonition of a warrior.

Under that lean and thin body lies an absolute beast well versed in all kinds of combats
