Alex walked up the steps towards the academy, but stopped and turned around like he heard someone call out to him. He sighed before he continued up the stairs.  His Soul Edge was chained and wrapped in cloth on his back and occasionally it twitched. Alex stopped at the stop of the stairs and looked at the academy that looked more like a mansion rather than a school.

“Time to prove to my peers I’m ready to become a member of the Holy cross. I promise I’ll make all of you proud,” Alex said before he took his first steps into the academy. His first trial was already over. His journey started at the doors of the Holy Crosses church where he was given a sort of going away party, but it was more a pray session. From there he trenched all the way to the academy on foot. Venturing through dark forests and braving the elements to finally make it here.

“I don’t need you laughing,” Alex said as though he was talking to someone, but rather when he said this his Weapon on his back twitched. Alex shook his head and continued into the courtyard. J[i]ust remember, they’re only voices of evil that will stray you down the path of evil. You’re training has help you block out their noise[/i]. Alex thought. 

Alex walked over to a large tree and sat under it, still keeping his weapon chained and wrapped in cloth on his back. Each link of the chain looked like a cross and the cloth looked like it had a pattern on it. Should someone unravel the cloth they would see a large silver cross with wings and scriptures written all around the cross in a circular motion. Alex sat down and laid against the tree to rest for a while.
