Clash of Nobles
All of the students attended the training camp, where they received instruction on how to fight as knights and warriors in case of future wars or conflicts. These training lessons would continue until the student graduates from the school.
The students were split into two groups for the training sessions: those who were gifted and those who weren't. The school board created this division because they did not want any of the non-gifted students to be put in danger or killed by the gifted students.
While walking to their training lessons, Xavier and Jupiter were observed joking and laughing together.
Xavier asked, "How long have you been drawing?"
Jupiter answered, "Well, for as long as I can remember."
Xavier said with joy, "Wow, it's so cool to be able to draw like that, Jupiter."
Jupiter blushed in response and said, "Xavier, thank you for your compliments."
"Because my drawings have only ever been complimented by my mother and grandmother," Jupiter added.
Then Xavier replied, "Who wouldn't enjoy your drawings? They are amazing!".
Then Jupiter smiled and replied, "Thank you," in a gentle and appreciative tone.
Xavier smiled broadly and said, "You're welcome!" in response.
Jupiter and Xavier kept walking when, all of a sudden, Jupiter ran into another student by mistake, dropping all of his sketches to the ground.
With disbelief, Jupiter exclaimed nervously, "I'm... I'm sorry!"
With a look of scorn and hatred on his face, the boy answered, "How dare you bump into a royal like me? Do you wish to die?"
To which Jupiter said, "I'm sorry for not looking where I was going." Then one of the man's pals remarked, "You ought to apologize, you peasant."
Another said that Prince Magnus Flashstride, the second Prince of Norway, was present and that Jupiter and Xavier should lower their heads.
As Jupiter and Xavier lowered their heads to show respect to Prince Magnus, Magnus noticed one of Jupiter's sketches and said, "What is this filth?"
"Did you draw this garbage?" Magnus asked Jupiter.
"Yes, I draw it," Jupiter trembled in response.
Magnus responded, "What a useless talent," by stepping on Jupiter's drawing of his mother and spitting on it.
And Jupiter became very upset and started to cry over this. Seeing his new friend cry, Xavier was infuriated, raised his head, and questioned, "Who do you think you are to call someone's talents useless?"
"Oi, watch your mouth, kid," a friend of Magnus's said as he grabbed Xavier by the collar. "Do you want to die?"
Magnus, however, grinned and remarked, "Leave the boy alone; I like his spirit."
Complying with Prince Magnus' orders, his friends released Xavier's collar and added, "You're one lucky punk".
As Magnus and his colleagues started to leave, Xavier turned back and angrily exclaimed, "You cowards, where do you think you're going? Come back here and apologize to my friend for damaging his artwork".
Jupiter attempted to prevent Xavier from escalating the situation, but it was too late.
When Prince Magnus heard those words, he stopped in place and suddenly appeared in front of Xavier, covering his face with his palm.
Xavier was taken aback by Prince Magnus's instantaneous movements and was unable to respond in time.
With his palm firmly on Xavier's face, Magnus stated menacingly, "I let you leave because I admired the way you supported your friend in a moment of crisis. But this time, boy, I won't put up with your insults and arrogance toward me.
Xavier grinned and said, "Bring it on," wearing a determined expression that made Magnus smile in respect.
A voice then shouted out Prince Magnus' name and asked, "Second Prince of Normay, Prince Magnus Flashstride, what do you think you're doing?" before he and Xavier could engage in a fight.
When Magnus looked up to see who was shouting his name, he saw that it was none other than Princess Jasmine Jin-ah Lee, the first Princess of the Grand Empire of Korea. Who appeared to be the same age as Violet.
When Prince Magnus's friends saw the first Princess of Korea, they immediately knelt and bowed their heads in her direction. Saying, "Greetings to you, Princess Jin-ah Lee".
Princess Jasmine Jin-ah Lee wore her training uniform, which accentuated her gorgeous green eyes and snow-white hair. She was also accompanied by several armed guards for her protection.
Magnus grinned as he saw Prince Jasmine and said, "Well, look who it is, Senior Jasmine".
One of Princess Jasmine's bodyguards angrily said, "It's Princess Jin-ah Lee, and you will address her as such, Prince Magnus".
Magnus arrogantly replied, "You will speak to me with respect, peasant". "And I'll talk to her any way I please", he continued.
When Princess Jasmine's bodyguards heard that, they became furious, but she calmly intervened to stop them from attacking Prince Magnus.
"Prince Magnus, you're as arrogant as ever", Princess Jasmine remarked while giggling.
"It's only the first day of school, and you're already bullying students like you usually do?" She went on.
Magnus arrogantly responded with pride, saying, "I will do whatever I want in this school, Senior Jasmine, and you won't be able to do anything about it."
"What a spoiled brat you are for a 4-year-old child," Princess Jasmine remarked with a smile.
"Child? Magnus replied, "Oh, please, Jasmine; you're just 7 years old, no different from me."
which infuriated Princess Jasmine's knights, who now wanted to hold Prince Magnus accountable for his disrespect toward a member of a royal family.
Princess Jasmine responded, "Come show me why I shouldn't treat you like a child then?"
With a smile on his face, Prince Magnus cheerfully said, "I would love to".
Then, when Prince Magnus was getting ready to face Princess Jasmine, blue electricity appeared all around him.
At that moment, Prince Magnus sprinted in the direction of Princess Jasmine at lightning speed. But then Princess Jasmine said with a confident smirk on her face:
-Mighty Aionel: Tempus Stasis
Then suddenly, everything froze, as though time had stopped dead in its tracks. The birds, the leaves, the animals, Prince Magnus, Xavier, Jupiter, Magnus's friends, and even Princess Jasmine's soldiers all came to a stop, frozen in time.
Everything except for Princess Jasmine, whose eyes were now glowing bright green and had the appearance of a ticking clock.
Princess Jasmine smiled and began laughing at how stupid Prince Magnus appeared to be at this moment, trapped in time.
She then gently walked up to Prince Magnus, putting her palm in front of his face and uttering the following:
-Mighty Aionel: Chrono Regress
Prince Magnus then started to age abruptly, but in reverse, until he was an infant.
Immediately after, time started to flow regularly once more. However, the fact that Prince Magnus had vanished shocked everybody.
One of Prince Magnus's companions asked, "Where did Prince Magnus go?"
To which Princess Jasmine answered, "He's right here," with a smile, displaying a small infant that was crying while lying on the ground.
Then a knight serving Princess Jasmine questioned, "Your Highness, what have you done to him?"
Princess Jasmine answered, "Calm down; I just turned back his age."
"And I did not make it permanent; he will turn back to the age he was before after 10 minutes," she added.
Then, Princess Jasmine took the now-infant Prince Magnus and grinned, remarking, "This age suits you well for the troublesome brat that you are."
With a smile that terrified Magnus's companions, Princess Jasmine then gave Prince Magnus to them, saying, "Make sure you take good care of him, okay?"
When Magnus's companions fled in terror, Princess Jasmine grabbed Jupiter's drawing of his mother and restored it to its previous condition before Prince Magnus damaged it.
After that, Princess Jasmine said, "Here you go, all nice and clean," as she gave Jupiter the drawing.
Jupiter smiled brightly and joyfully answered, "Thank you very much, Miss."
"Don't call me Miss; you make me sound like I'm thirty years old," Princess Jasmine joked.
She went on, "Why don't you call me Senior Jasmine?"
Xavier questioned, "You wouldn't get mad if we called you Senior?"
Princess Jasmine responded, saying, "No, I like you guys."
"Therefore, I don't mind if you guys treat me a little formal." She continued.
Princess Jasmine and her knights then assisted Jupiter in picking up all of his drawings, and before she left, she asked, "By the way, what are your names?"
Jupiter answered, "Oh, please pardon us for being so impolite."
"My name is Jupiter Cavendish; nice to meet you, Senior Jasmine," Jupiter then said.
Princess Jasmine answered, "Oh, it's okay; you don't have to worry about it, Jupiter."
Then Princess Jasmine turned to face Xavier, saying, "How about you? What is your name, near friend?" with a smile.
Upon noticing Princess Jasmine's beauty, Xavier blushed and answered, "My name is Xavier Ashford."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Senior Jasmine," he continued.
Princess Jasmine was taken aback by Xavier's last name, Ashford, and asked, "Wait, Ashford? Are you the younger brother of Violet?"
"Yes," Xavier answered in response. "How did you know the name of my sister?" he asked.
Princess Jasmine answered, "Well, that's because we're classmates."
"She always boasts all the time about how her younger brother is the cutest kid ever. And I understand why," she went on.
With an awkward giggle, Xavier remarked, "Well, that's my sister for you.".
Princess Jasmine giggled, then suddenly asked Xavier, "Oh, by the way, where did you get those glasses from?"
"Oh, I got them as a present from my grandfather," Xavier cheerfully responded.
"Your grandfather, huh?" muttered Princess Jasmine.
"Oh, alright," Princess Jasmine replied.
"Well, I have to leave now." Princess Jasmine went on, "I hope to see you again, Jupiter and Xavier."
As Princess Jasmine left, Jupiter and Xavier waved goodbye, and she smiled and waved back.
As Jupiter and Xavier left for their training classes, one of Princess Jasmine's knights commented, "I didn't expect to see that monster, Aleksander's little brother."
Princess Jasmine added, saying, "That is unexpected. However, the thing that shocks me the most is that he has the ethereal instrument of my ancestor, Merlin the Wise.".
"The Mother of Time," she continued.
"If he has that, he must originate from a royal family," one of Princess Jasmine's knights remarked.
Princess Jasmine answered, "That might be possible, but who knows?"
