The Author's POV

"Wow...there's a lot more people than I had originally thought"

"I'd have to agree with you on that one"

As Kevin and Emma arrived outside of section B, a crowd of students was swarming the entrance making it hard to see what was ahead.

Each student was sporting a different colored uniform which ranged from, azure blue, dark green, and blood-red, representing the year they were in.

A three-meter tall wall surrounded the whole of section B and on top of the wall, an invisible high voltage electrical line was installed preventing anyone from trying to sneak into the compound.

In order to enter the compound, four gates which were respectively allocated according to the cardinal points, North, South, East, West, were tightly guarded by the staff hired by the academy.

Because the academy was mainly a medium to nurture talented individuals which would later be the future pillars of humanity, the information regarding the students was tightly secured by the academy.

If the information were to be passed to the wrong hands, potentially talented heroes that have shown good promise during their academic stay might become the target of demons and villains, which could result in them prematurely dying before their talent could leave an impact on society.

...This was exactly what the academy didn't want, and hence why they invested heavily in security for section B. Excluding the professors who were all respectively strong heroes, the security alone comprised of B and C ranked Heroes.

Section B was practically one of the safest areas within the academy.

After 10 minutes, Emma and Kevin were finally able to arrive at the entrance of the compound.

The lines were split into three, and at the end of each line, a student with a red blazer was handing leaflets to every person who entered the compound.

"Welcome to the elective fair"

Approaching Kevin and Emma, a blonde individual elegantly handed them a leaflet with a gentle yet confident smile on his face.

"Thank you"

"Thank you"

Without thinking much, Emma and Kevin took the leaflet and left, resulting in the blonde individual's smile to momentarily falter.

"Ehm..ehm..excuse me, freshman"

Quickly regaining his composure, the blonde individual hastily moved in front of Kevin and Emma, obstructing their path. Suddenly being blocked out of nowhere, both Kevin and Emma couldn't help but frown as they scrutinized the person before them.

Although he wasn't as handsome as Kevin, he could've been regarded as a fairly handsome individual with his relatively well-proportioned features, blue eyes, and confident demeanor.

"What do you need?"

Annoyed, Emma didn't try to hide her displeasure as she lightly glared in his direction.

Smiling amiably, taking no notice of Emma's attitude, the blonde individual couldn't help but take a couple of glances at Emma evidently stunned by her beauty.

Without even acknowledging nor glancing in Kevin's direction, the blonde individual focused his whole attention on Emma almost as if he was enchanted by her beauty.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Fabian Parker third year ranked 14, may I have the honor of knowing this beautiful girl's name?"

As he introduced himself, the undisguised pride in his tone couldn't be concealed as his smile deepened and his back straightened.

His eyes which now fully focused on Emma, couldn't hide the desire masked within them as he took one step closer to her.

"That's enough"

Placing his hand in front of Emma blocking Fabian from approaching her, Kevin glared at him.

"Can't you see you're bothering her?"

"Who are you?"

Finally noticing Kevin's presence, Fabian couldn't hide his displeasure, as his head snapped in his direction.

"How dare you block this one's path?"

"You're being annoying"

"Quickly move out of my way or don't blame me for being impolite"
