Johnathan had spent a long time being Rase''s experiment, he was infused with different types of energies, some mana, some not. Rase had been teaching him how to control the energy infused inside him, he named one of the energies Qi and it enhanced John''sphysicalattributes temporarily. John had only heard of this stuff in myths of ancient heroes, everyday while he suffered he thought of his revenge, his revenge against the thing that possessed his daughter.
thing was not my daughter, I will save my daughter from whatever is possessing her, and I have a feeling you know what it is" John opened his eyes to look at Rase who remained unmoved.
"Farren, the slaughterer, Farren the child of a delusional man, Farren the child, Farren the insane, Farren the powerful..." Rase lifted up his hood revealing his face, instead of looking ancient like his voice indicated he looked to be in his 20''s with longvermillionhair and and cold green eyes, his face wasethereallybeautiful, he opened his mouth and spoke again,
I sneezed while I was walking back to my dorm, I knew I wasn''t getting a cold since my body was immune to illness, perhaps someone was talking about me?But that thought quickly slipped my mind, I hadn''t gotten any of the things I had wanted while at the market except for food, which wasn''t even on the list I wrote, I was disappointed in myself but hat certainly didn''t mean I regretted it, I found out in this world they have chocolate, CHOCOLATE! That god did have obsession with hot chocolate so it isn''t asurprise he let this world have it. Maybe I should pray to him a thank you... nah.
"Farren! Hey Farren!" I heard a familiar voice call out to me, it was Karin, I sighed knowing this would be tiring.
"There is even arumorthat the Principal wants to meet you!" and that''s where I choked, I certainly hadn''t added the damn principal into my calculations, I knew he must be pretty powerful to run this school which meant S rank or higher, I was S rank right now since I had consumed Meat Heads and Xavier''s soul but the chances the Principal was a mere S rank were... unlikely. The whole time I had been in thought Karin had still been rambling about how we''ll get to see each other more, I interrupted her.
"Oh right! The teachers and other staff pick 7 students out of the the Junior and Senior years and make them the Student council, these students tend to be the smartest or the strongest of the years, there are different roles in the council too, there is the President who is the strongest out of all of them, the Treasurer who is the smartest, they are sort of like an advisor and accountant rolled into one, the Vice-President is the second strongest and a sort of jack-of-all-trades, they help theTreasurer with accounting and the President with keeping the peace, these 3 are often call the Holy Trinity"
I looked up at the sky, trying to get Gods attention, "Why do you let the humans do this to themselves?"
"The Holy Trinity are thecenter pointof the council, then there is the leader of thedisciplinary committee which works under the President and keep the peace in the school, the leader of the researchcommitteewhich is made up of alchemists and mages who experiment with spells and potions, the leader of the Healing clinic which are all people who focus their studies on healing students and when they graduate they''ll heal citizens and stuff, then last but not least leader of the blacksmithing committee, which is mainly comprised of dwarves unsurprisngly, I''m not trying to be rascist there! I supported inter-species marriage you know!"
"Wow people actually have anti-racismcampaigns?"This world is certainly developing, I didn''t like it.
"Well no, the vice presidents of the disciplinary committee, the research committee, the healing clinic, and the blacksmithing committee are in the Junior councils since it''s school rules that vice-principals of extra-curricular committees have to be chosen from the junior section, the rule was made when there was a massive fight between the juniors and the seniors because the seniors kept getting chosen for all theinfluentialpositions, some students were actually killed during the fights"
"Oh yeah did you hear about The Beserker? It''s the name they are giving the guy that killed an entire village and burnt down the forest outside the city skirts, they think he''s in the city right now! They say he''d be over 40 andemanatea powerful aura, how creepy is that?"
Now I had to experiment with the hybrid magic, Isearchedmy brain to see if I had any knowledge on it, I knew that if I had the affinity I would know the spells. I realised that behind the main affinities spells I had all the information I needed on hybrid magic, I cursed myself for being so ignorant. I noticed a system message appear

"I can see you are still trying to take it all in" says Ceren seeing my shocked face, I nod numbly.
"Let us meet the king and you can explain your stats and we can see what god has blessed you, then you can rest in your new living quarters until dinner" she smiles kindly at me, I feel myself relax and follow her as she walks out the huge doors in the room. As we walk the halls the princess comes up to me smiling. Only me, Yeri and Ceren had been left while the others had scattered.
"Hi, my name is- well I suppose you already know but in any case it''s Yeri, Yeri Draconis, and before you ask I''m not descended from dragons it''s just my ancestors wanted to sound high and mighty when the founded the kingdom" she rolled her eyes, but I could tell she was proud of the name.
"My last name is just Smith, it''s a pretty common name where I''m from"
I cursed myself, I was socially inept at talking to pretty girls and that right there was awkward beyond belief, I was 22 and had barely talked to anyone as beautiful as Yeri. But to my surprise she giggled.
"I''ll just call you Ryan, my kingdoms hero"
Her smile made this whole summoning this less chaotic, in fact in made my world come into focus, we spoke some more as we walked down the halls, eventually we reached the tallest doors I had ever seen, the door was almost 30 meters tall in height and 20 meters in width, it had engravings of dragons and humans battling and kings leading armies against undead creatures, I swear I saw one of the undead move but I waved it off, Yeri came up to me while I admired the door.
"Amazing isn''t it? We had the finest dwarven sculpters craft this, some of the people in it even move, that was with the help of a Mage who had the hybrid element metal and enchanted the whole thing, I wasn''t alive when it happened but Father said it was beautiful, apparently every 3 years the whole engraving moves but anytime it was supposed to happen I was always away on a trip and missed it, people say it''s so beautiful that normal citizens sneak into the palace to watch"
"It certainly is captivating, also speaking of your Father what should I prepare for?"
Yeri looked amused, "he''s not very serious when it''s about something other than work, but when it comes to it he can be downright scary" I must''ve looked worried because she pat me on the shoulder and spoke in a kinder tone, "don''t worry, he won''t be like that with you... I think..." although her last words weren''t very helpful I felt slightly better.
"Thanks" I said as the doors opened, I saw the inside of the room, there was paintings of what I could only assume to be gods on the ceiling and large colums made of a white, glittering, smooth stone I didn''t recongnise. A large oval table was in the middle of the massive room with the head chair being larger and engraved with gold and made of the same smooth white stone the colums were. The other chairs were just plain, sturdy wood. In the head chair sat the king, he had a crown made out of a dark purple metal and colourful gems stood out on it. On the plain chairs were people dressed in fine clothing of silk and small gems sewed upon them, I was guessing they were the nobles.
"Welcome Hero, may we be informed of your name?" the kings booming voice echoed out towards us, his face was serious. He had the same black hair as his daughter but instead of the warm brown eyes she had, he had cold blue eyes like ice. I saw Ceren and Yeri take a seat at the table, Yeri gestured to the seat next to her for me. I gratefully took it and sat.
"His name is Ryan my king, unfortunately he did not come from a world of magic like ours but I can tell he has great potential" spoke Ceren.
"I see, but it does not matter, welcome Ryan, as I''m sure you''ve been told this kingdom is in great peril, it''s name is Irin Kingdom and we are the capital of this country, we have a Seer in this city right now who has told us a great threat is looming over us, she said that they are close to us and are not who we would expect, she says this foe is powerful"
"So you summoned me?"
"Yes, whenever a threat arises against this kingdom my family has summoned a hero from another world"
"Will I be able to go back?" I asked, afraid of the answer.
"Only if you complete your quest, stay sane and stay on the side of good, the gods promised anyone who was summoned and did these could return" I breathed a sigh of relief, at least those requirements were possinle for me, it was better than him saying ''no''.
"Now onto other business, we must test what gd has decided to bless you" a large rough crystal was placed in front of me, "place your hand on the crystal" I did as I was told and the crystal glowed a pure white, I felt a burning senstaion on my hand and tried to pull away but couldn''t, the pain got worse but before I could cry out a vision flashed through my mind, it was a picture of a man in red armour, but the armour wasn''t red naturally, the man was holding the head of what looked like a demon with one horn broken, the area around the man was a bloody battlefield, the man turned to me.
"I am Vesuvius, I am the God of Battle, War and Blood, you have the Hybrid Affinity of Blood and a need to fight and to explore and adventure, remember me" the vision faded to black and I passed out
