Alpha King of Fire

THE WRITTEN EXAMINATION

PYRO’S POV

I peeked at Fira, I saw her passing the hallway. My back was leaning on the wall and my body was a bit twisted enough to view her. When she was finally out of my sight, I was about to move forward when…

“Boo!”

My expression was shocked, but I managed to expose the calm emotion. It was Zephyrus playing a fool again. He laughed out loud while holding his belly, the mouth was opened and I could see his full teeth.

“Who are you hiding for?” He peeped into the hallway and looked around. “There’s nothing except for the busy Omegas who was dragging the tray, going to the kitchen of the dining royal…”

While he was peeking on the side of the wall and talking about so many nonsense things, I left him. I left him like he was a crazy person speaking to himself. Zephyrus always had plenty of things to say and I hated his noise.

I walked to the shortcut tunnel of the kingdom and then went directly to my room. Much better if I was here. No irritating sounds. Only silence that was soothing.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

It was true that in the Elemental Kingdom, it was more boring than staying in the city because there, they had technologies that may be used to entertain yourself. Here, even cell phones were not present. Just a simple traditional life. But I loved that most. Silence. Silence, but the sounds of the swaying trees and humming of air were present.

“King Fire?” The guard knocked on the door. I did not want to stand up. I was sitting comfortably on my bed.

I never waste saliva to talk and my guard, Seryo, knew that even though I never burst a word, I was listening. “King Oswald summoned all the Kings due to the examination today.”

I groaned with annoyance. I almost forgot that we had an examination for today about the history of the Elemental Kingdom and the strikes to the body to knock out the enemy.

I closed my eyes to refresh my knowledge. I could still remember that even though I was not taking notes. My brain was remembering things immediately, my long-term memory was active, and no matter how long that event happened. I will never forget it.

“Coming,” I answered. I dressed using the garments with a symbol of fire on the back. I walked towards the tribal wooden door and opened it. I never glanced at Seryo when he bowed, I just saw it in my peripheral vision.

I walked into the huge wide hallway of the Kingdom. I went to the study room. My brothers were there. Zephyrus was wearing a king garment that was dark blue in color. Colden’s garment was glowing blue green. Raiden was using glowing white for the representation of lightning and Hali was wearing light blue garments. All of them looked like elegant kings, but their thinking was childish, Raiden was an exception.

Zephyrus was pouting while stomping his feet on the floor. He was annoyed. Perhaps I did not want to take the examination. He had always got a slash when he got a zero.

“Is human anatomy included in the test? I would be dead if I got zero again!” Zephyrus stomped his feet in the air. “I hate this! I am not smart like Raiden! Where is the justice in that!”

“Just because you did not take the study seriously.” Raiden crossed his arms below the chest. He was seriously bored in his chair. “When will the exam start? I still have three books that I need to finish today.”

“Great! I envy you for staying in the library for the whole day.” Zephyrus had a touch of sarcasm in his voice. “Sad. Boring life.”

Raiden gave him a serious look. “At least I never encounter slashes because my exam is always perfect.” He teased back the poor Zephyrus.

“Fine! You are smart and I am nothing! Justice, please!” Zephyrus was no longer to take the teasing moment with Raiden so he changed seats. He went beside Colden who was now looking at the white board. He smiled when he saw Zephyrus.

“Did you review last night?” Zephyrus asked Colden with a whisper.

“Ahm, yes.” Colden scratched his forehead.

“So I am the one who did not review? I mean I reviewed it. I am with Fira, but my head can’t absorb everything she taught. Poor me.”

Fira? Oh. That night when I ordered the guard to bring her to my room. So Fira taught her? What a smart girl.

I sat beside Hali who was now looking at the papers, reading them. This time, he was seriously taking the review. There were times that he was serious, times that he was annoying everyone. That was according to his trip of the day.

I was just shutting my mouth while looking out of nowhere. Sometimes, in the ceiling, counting the chandelier. Sometimes, watching the protesting of Zephyrus towards the test. Sometimes, my eyes were on Hali who was now thinking deeply. I thought it was not the test at all, he had something in his mind.

It was not boring at all, especially when Zephyrus closed his mouth because Colden did not want to talk to him anymore. The silence filled the room.

In the middle of hush, my father went to the room, smiling with his full teeth. “Are you ready, my kings?” He had always asked that as if we were not prepared. We were doing this since we were a child, taking written exams like a normal teenager who had an evaluation after the lessons.

“Yes, Father.” We all answered, even me, but my voice was the lowest among them. Lazy talking again. When he asks about something you should answer it. There were times that he got mad at me because I was unable to talk. I hated moving my mouth. As if I was mute.

The examiners gave us the test papers. It was usually an essay. A history of the kingdom and a bit of strategy to fight.

“I didn’t read about this! Give me justice!” Zephyrus’ loud voice covered the room. “I hate-” He paused and looked down when his eyes met the burning fire from the eyes of King Oswald. He shut his mouth even though he was still pouting, the protesting was in his expression.

Hali pulled his hair. I knew that he had a knowledge of history, but not the strategy because he did not want to use that in actuality.

The test was easy for me. I started writing even though my laziness of moving my hand was visible. I forced myself to take the exam. At first, I explained the strikes and then, at last, flipped my paper and saw the history. I started writing.

The Elemental Kingdom was established a thousand years ago. The ancestor named King Agion was the strongest among the pack. He had a dream of making the Elemental Kingdom, the most well formed building so he started to order his members to gather everything that they could use until he produced the strong wall. The Kingdom began to become successful and powerful among the packs. Eventually, they found out that King Agion was not just an ordinary wolf. He had the power of elements that had passed to the next generation until the present. Even though they could not prevent the attack of invaders, sometimes they won, sometimes lost, but in the end, they lived in peace.

I put the pen beside my paper. Done.
