Charles King, Lonely hope, part 1.

Chapter 13

It's the last school week of November and it's guild week, I would have been pondering who if anyone has offered to teach me but this month has been bizarre, it started somewhat well regardless of how the general public has been treating me, it's hasn't gotten any better but at school, no one is insulting me, well they might have behind my back but I can't hear them so I am happy with that, and I haven't had anyone purposely walk into me too, even some of the teachers have become responsive to me, but as the month began knocking days off things got worse, dad was coming back to the guild covered in cuts and bruises, the battles with the rebels throughout the whole Europe has become disturbing, more deaths, more people and kids reported missing, beasts being mind-controlled into evil doing. I have been told not to worry about any of that though because there is nothing I can do to.

Wyatt has become more of an unbearable tool, he has ramped up his insults on me now and is the only person to do it, he has even taken it a step up, he has been having a crack at trying to hit me with spells. Last Thursday something hot hit me clean across the back of my head and my ears had slime pouring out of them for an hour. Miss Betty had to fix it for me. I guess saving his dad's and little brothers' lives means nothing to him.

What was weirder is Grace has completely stopped talking to Charlotte, Ethan, and Tori, we don't know if they have told anyone about what I was going as to the Halloween event. Kevin finds this hilarious.

"Grace, your best friends here," Kevin said when Charlotte walked in late to form class,

"Shut up," she said back to him. Charlotte took her seat, she smiled at Grace who stared at Mr Ridgewell,

"Everybody Quiet down!" Ridgewell said, "Today is the day I know you are all looking forward to, guild week, before I had out these" Ridgewell held up a stack of envelopes with both hands and chairs squeaked and students sat up straight, "Now that I have everyone's attention, these are your offers, everyone has at least one, those who have more than one will have till the end of this form class to decide, you will have two regular classes like scheduled and then you after brake you will meet us in training hall B that's the one where we practice basic magic on the first day when I call out your names come get your offer" Eager silence fell on the form room as my classmates stepped up, my table was last to be called up, and I was very last, "Charles king" I walked it Ridgewell dressed in his normal blue Tracksuit on. Not-so-quiet whispers could be heard pondering how many offers I got,

"Oh Charles, the one that's scratched off is from Louie Allard, he got in touch this morning and said he couldn't commit to the week, something about being needed against the rebels, and he asked us to send you his apologises and he hopes to meet you in the future" I could not be happier in this moment. All my classmates were stunned and the number one guild member in the world the guy I had been reading about in magazines for years wanted to teach me, I was officially buzzing with delight, I sat down, and Kevin punched me in the arm, I smiled and opened up my envelope and took out a thin white piece of paper, I had gotten two offers the first, the guild of Louie Allard, New Noble. They shot up the rankings out of nowhere and established themselves as the best around, everyone wanted to join them, but my second option was below it, a guild called Ravenshonor,

"Ohh". Charlotte let out by mistake I quickly looked at her to see if she would explain what that was or if she knew the guild, but she turned her head quickly. That would be a no then. I don't think I have heard of them before.

"How many did you get?" I asked Kevin, he began counting them one by one.

"11" He soundly proudly. And then showed me his list.

Hollow foxes

Holy saints

Black shroud

Rogue jackals
