《In a medieval world,Why i got a malus instead of a cheat?》 Chapter 01: My sad life(revisited) My name is Oscar Iyuni, 34 years old, I always dreamed big. I was good at class got my doctorate at 23 years old and my dream is to be a renowned scientist! my look was pretty average but I looked depressed, I was moving slowly like nothing in life could bring happiness in my life. All I¡¯ve managed to do was small research that wouldn¡¯t change the world one bit... My life is not to be pitied, but I can''t say I like my life. I am not the social type, always thinking science instead of making friends. Finally, I''m all alone outside my work. And that''s it, day after day... This is my life... I wanted it to change! I just felt my life was meaningless and had no envy to live the way I live anymore. It was probably because I had no one to rely on, I was working only for myself and my heart was empty. It was a day off, Normally I''d think about getting more knowledge and staying at home to study. But this time I decided to go out to change my life! It was totally unnatural for me, but I forced myself to go outside! I walked down the street thinking I would meet people and become friends or so. but finally, I found myself alone on the street surrounded by a a crowd of people. And after a while, I saw a man of average height with a soiled jacket and a jean with holes walking to me. He was a beggar. ¡° Hey, Could you give me some money please ? ¡° said the man with a rusty voice Yes¡­ It has to be expected but I will not refuse since I don¡¯t care about money and I want to speak to someone anyway. Stolen story; please report. I did something that probably no one would do these days. I took out two $100 bills and handed him over to the poor man. ¡° Of course, here is 200 dollars USD ¡° The man that took the money first gratefully now looks at me strangely, a little confused. ¡°Thanks, but, Why are you randomly walking on the street? I saw you wandering around. ¡° ¡° I wanted to mee..¡± No, I can¡¯t say that he will think I¡¯m a weirdo, to need friends. ¡° I was unhappy about my life so I wanted to take a deep breath... ¡° ¡°Ahahaha, You should be happy, look at my life despite being that poor I''m still happy to be alive! How could you not be happy? ¡° ¡°Ahh, sorry. ¡° the man took a serious stance while looking at me deeply ¡°I like you, If I could change your life, start a new one in another world, would you want it ?¡° This question is a bit weird, I didn¡¯t really know the answer but I want to say yes because it seems cool! ¡°Yes, I guess? ¡° ¡°You helped me, And now it is my turn to help. I don¡¯t want to go to another world since I have still my daughter to take care in this life But don''t worry, I know a way. Enjoy your new life! ¡° The poor man took a pen and write on the air, I was totally shocked to see words floating in the air. ¡° What is that ... ¡° I realized what was going on wasn''t normal. Then realized what the poor man said might be true. ¡°Wait I didn¡¯t mean to ¡­ ¡° But when I realized, it was too late! My vision blurred and in a second, I lost consciousness! Chapter 02:Rebirth (Revisited) I tried to open my eyes but I was only surrounded by darkness. My body sensation was completelydifferent from what I was used to. Mybody captors areintense. Particularly the sense of touch. Where am I? What kind of situation I''m into? Though I feel comfortable in this warm fluid... Wait? What is this fluid? Ican''t move properly, my eyes are in the dark, I am surrounded by a warm fluid, different sensations totally different from my body, remembering the situation with the poor man... What is this situation ... Am I really reincarnated? And by this logic right now, I am a fetus in my mother womb! I could hear a voice, but it didn''t seem to be English, French, Chinese, Japanese, Russian or any language I could think off. It sounded like a woman''s voice, Probably my mother? But before I could think about the situation I''m into I felt tired and lost consciousness. I didn''t see the time pass by, I lost track of time. But one day my body moved on its own, my body was sucked outside the belly! With the feeling of falling, I was in an area that was getting narrower and narrower. It hurts! All the nerves in my body shouting in pain, after struggling to go out of this place I was finally out! Did you know this story is from Royal Road?

Don''t ask why every child cry after being born, It damn hurts! I see a man, black hair, a tiny white skin with medieval farmer''s clothes. Probably my father cheerfully taking me in his hands Started to speak. "@#~3|¨¨_u" The person from where I come from, surely my mother said happily while taking me, and holding me to her hands to me. "{Yua''ipoial" My mother, also with medieval farmer''s clothes, but had a dress for women, she also had black hair and a tiny white skin. But for me, she was really beautiful. Around me was a house made of wood. Moreover, some place was cracked. I quickly understood that we were in a time close to the Middle Ages and that we were poor. But when my mother held me in her arms, I felt comfort. I could stay in this position forever. But more than the physical comfort, what I felt inside me was. Love. Chapter 03:The birth of a new goal(Revisited) time has passed and i was one year old, during this year i learned most of the basics words as i drunk the milk of my mother''s breasts and for a major part. I was truelly happy to live a carefree life loved by my parents. In this world i was named Xulphyr. I restreint myself to not speak others words than ¡° mom ¡° and ¡° dad ¡° to not scare my own beloved parents. My mom was named ¡°Athiel ¡° and my dad ¡° Ron ¡°. They''re both 22. We are in a country named " Loanev". This world was a medieval world where magic exist, in fact magic is omnipresent in this society. Every human seems able to use magic, even my parents use fire magic to ignite the wood when they cook. but every human wasn''t equal in term of magic power, The strongest human have 9.8 unit of mana. Commoner like my parents have 3 to 4 unit of mana, at the age of 3 years old you awaken your magical power and it shouldn''t change after.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. But there was only one thing that make me angry. "knock knock." It was 2 healthy middle aged man. ¡°We are the representant of the lord, You must pay the tax, 50% of your harvest ¡° "I know sir, but if we give you 50% of our harvest we will have a hard time raising my child, beside i heard that sometime you help them by only taking 45% of the harvest, is it possible ? "Athiel "Ahahaha, this young lady is well aware. Its true, but for that you know... You must be pleasant to men like us if you know what i mean" say a vicious man watching my mother breast. These bastards ... seeing my mother hesitating, Ron move forward. " Ok, we will pay you 50% of the harvest " Ron "Ron, i know you do this for me but... I want my child to grow well and with the harvest we had this year if we give 50% of it we might not have enough "Athiel "I''ll just eat less, i refuse you become a sex toy, Athiel."Ron "Just, take 50% of the harvest and go out "say Athiel with a cold expression containing her emotion . After that, the two men were looking at themselves with disappointment,took half of our harvest This life is unfair! The poor is taxed and deprived from what they have while the nobles does nothing and just get more and more money. I hate this ... I know! I will change this rotten society, and aim to create a new society! This is the new goal of my life ! Chapter 04: The compromise Two years had gone by, i just turned 3 and my mother got sick it could be cured by eating well and rest. But we couldn''t afford it, I was hungry myself. So giving our food means starvation. I tried to think how to improve our lives with my scientific knowledge but everytime i tried to think of an invention from my world? i had a huge headache and couldn''t continue; My parents were still happy to live their life with the love of each others. But for me who come from earth that was forced to accept this situation of this unfair feodal system. Since i have 3 year, i should have unlock my magical power but I still wasn''t able to feel my mana. Without formation it takes a good time before someone feels their mana but that doesn''t mean they don''t have it That is why when one turn 3, he can goes to the official Magical Institut, despite the name in our neighbourhood it was only a little house where a old man was testing the magic of every kid that turn 3. My father and me did enter in the house, because my mother was sick she couldn''t accompany us. "I would like my son to pass the magic test, elder" Ron "Hmm, This boy, his name ? " he said whilewatching me This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. "My name is Xulphyr, Sir!" Xulphyr "Ahahaha, what a brave young man, Come with me and put your hands here. " The old man was showing a a graduated orb, i did obey and put my hands in the orb, suddenly i felt my mana, and my mana was sucked in the orb. I felt a bit dizzy, the old man watching the orb with his eye was surprised "Is it bad ?" Ron with anxiety "No, it is pretty good. The orb take only half the mana of a user, and the orb already absorbed 4.1 unit of mana. That means your son have 8.2 unit of mana, which means he is allowed to join the elite magic academy of our country and formed to serves directly the high nobility" My face twisted I''m happy to have this number of mana but, This is bad ... I don''t want to serves the high nobility, in fact i hate them ! "Elder, could you give us a moment please ?"Ron said after seeing my face. "Of course, i will contact the responsable of the academy to do the transfer" after the old man left, my father looked me in the eyes. "I known, my son, that you hate the nobility, i hate them too.But if you stay with us your potential will be wasted and will only be a farmer like us, i would put my life in the line for the chance to change it¡±Ron ¡°I don¡¯t care! i am fine being a farmer !¡± Xulphyr After xulphyr said this Ron expression hardened ¡°You know son,i love you, but i also do love your mother. If you go with them our family will receive somes help from the noble and my wife, your mom will be fed and she will get better, if you don¡¯t get a reason to do it for yourself, do it for us ok?¡±Ron ¡°Ok, i will go, for mom¡­¡±Xulphyr Chapter 05: The new roommate In the last few days, thanks to my amount of mana, I was integrated into the Loanev Academy and my family had finally had enough to eat. the old man from the institute ordered me a carriage to take me to the academy. During this trip, i noticed that this world have a lot of different species I''ve never seen on Earth before. We traveled for 2 days, the academy was isolated from the rest of the country so that students could focus solely on their learning magic As i cameout of the carriage, i saw a big cathedral in its center, in the surroundings full of houses that served as accommodation for the students, a place where the students could eat and training ground where we can see instructors giving listen to students more aged. In one of these groups I saw an instructor showing a fireball which had the size of a fist talking about their characteristics. "Excuse me, are you the new student named Xulphyr?" Says a woman in maid''s uniform. "Yes" said Xulphyr nodding his head. "My name is Sophie and I''m in charge of the news students buildings, welcome to the Loanev Academy, you''ll sleep in this little house with a certain John, another 3-year-old boy like you."Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! "Thanks sophie, i''ll be in your care" Xulphyr Sophie was a little confused by Xulphyr''s presence who is a 3 year old child and took him to his room. The little house was well maintained, much better than where I lived with my parents. But compared to the buildings on Earth they still lacked, there were 2 rooms where one could see a bed, a shelf where white clothes were placed with a black fireball symbol. "It''s the school uniform, you have to wear it when you''re in the academy, John is in the next room he arrived yesterday so he''s new like you.with that said, I must leave you i have to take care of my other duty , ah yes I was going to forget, be ready tomorrow at 10 am for the training "Sophie "Thank you for everything Sophie"Xulphyr Then, shortly afterwards, a voice filled with emotion was heard from the next room "IT''S DECIDED! ONE DAY I WILL BECOME THE GREATEST MAGICIAN OF THE COUNTRY!" "John stop saying stupid things and go say hello to your new roommate," says sophie smiling as she leaves the little house. "A new roommate?"John says with excitement and thirst for the unknown John was a boy with a straight and proud posture, blond hair and handsome despite his young age as if the sky had created him to become the main character. "My name is Xulphyr, and I''ll be your new roommate now, I hope we get along well" "Definitely, and if we become friends you can stay by the side of the country''s most powerful future magician!" John said while smiling with pride "Well, I can''t wait to see the birth of a new star" say Xulphyr while laughing. Despite the difference in mental age, the two talked for hours before they finally falls asleep. Chapter 06: What is magic ? at 10 o''clock all the new student, around 30 three years old children were in the yard standing straight in front of the instructor. The instructor was a middle-aged man and had a body with burns,scars and body deformity. Just because of his appearance and his vicious way of walking all the students shivered with fear. ¡°I will present myself, my name is Don and i will be your instructor for all the days you will pass on the academy.¡± Don took a deep breath and said with a sad voice ¡°Listen, kids, War is terrible, that is the reason of my injuries but i could consider me as lucky. As you may not know, our country is at War!And if you take your training session lightly you will die on battlefield, IS IT CLEAR?¡± Don it intimidated all the kids,to know that even such an intimidating teacher fears war.It gave a feeling that all our lives was on the line. ¡° WHEN I ASK YOU IS IT CLEAR YOU MUST SAY YES SIR !¡± Don All the kids panicked and all answered. "YES SIR!" The instructor had a bossy personality, but is a really capable man.He succeed to teach to all children in the next hours the importance of magic, the situation in wars the basics of magics. From what i understood from magic is: -All magics is manipulated with your mana, so it must come from your body so you can¡¯t create a fire directly in the brain of your opponent.If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. -When your magics hurts your opponent or another magic you will lose the capacity of control on the magic used. Exemple : You land a rock to your opponent by magic,if he use magic to deviate it you won¡¯t be able to change his movement directly with magic -You can¡¯t create something that you don¡¯t know or don¡¯t see. -the mana used to create the same magic shall depends of your comprehension. Example : more you are in contact with fire and have knowledge on how a fire is created less mana you will use to use fire magic. With my past last knowledge, i could conclude that magic need energy ( mana ) in order to work, and there is an energy wasted depending of your knowledge. ¡° The lesson is over, you all must be close to the elements for the 2 next years." Don "Try to print the very essence of the elements in your mind, if anyone needs advice don''t hesitate to look after me.¡± Don Don left and all the kids was deeply moved and lost in their thoughts, after a moment of silence as if time had stopped we heard a voice. ¡°Magic is too awesome¡± Said a little girl with a voice full of admiration. ¡°Fuck, this is not awesome we will fucking die¡± said a boy with a scared voice. ¡°Xulphyr, you are not scared?¡± said John with anxiety. Strangely I wasn''t scared, but full of ambition I was more afraid of boredom than death. ¡° I don¡¯t, and you John?¡± Xulphyr After not seeing a glimpse of anxiety in the face of Xulphyr, John was moved. ¡°Xulphyr, you are awesome you know? Of course i¡¯m not scared, as the best magician .Just like me you aren¡¯t scared because you know that you will be strong enough to survive in battlefields right ? ¡°John But John anxiety in his voice betray him, we could see that he was scared. ¡°Ahahaha, No John. I really don¡¯t know if i will survive to a War, but i¡¯m sure of one thing. since i was born in this world I discover happiness, but i also discovered an endless hatred. i¡¯m ready to die to fight for this happiness, to fight against the one i hate, because without that, my life, means nothing, Not worth to live.¡±Xulphyr ¡°I don¡¯t understand all but you sure are interesting¡± said John a little stunned by his incomprehension In the end all the children left, filled with emotion, gone to study magic. Chapter 07: Is he a devil? Two years have almost passed, Xulphyr just turned 5, tomorrow was the end of the comprehension training, he didn¡¯t talk much with others children beside John, he mainly focused on his comprehension to use magic more efficiently. And for that physicals and chemicals law helped a lot, but physicals and chemicals law weren¡¯t enough, they were just a small part in the comprehension of what is the nature, thus the sensation and experiment of magic use was really important to use magic. With one hand he created a fireball the size of a fist, with the other hand he did create a ball of water and froze it while moving them around him for a second, using earth to increase the resistance of his skin. ¡°I still waste more than 80% of the mana used, but I succeed to not even consume 0.5 mana units, good good¡± Xulphyr said happily. I remembered that, the teacher say even the best magician is not even close to understand the nature itself, then it make sense that there is waste on the process. ¡®AhAhAhAh¡± Xulphyr Smile like a devil while laughing like the antagonist of a novel. ¡°Now that I''ve fulfilled my goal of the last two years, i can do an experiment, right? Will i be the first human in earth that succeed to make chemical fusion works ? The fusion of two hydrogen to form a helium, like the sun?¡± Remembering everything he knew about nuclear fusion his eyes widened of excitation like he found a revelation and mobilise all his mana in his right hand, creating ice to protect his hand. He begun to create a fireball made of nuclear fusion, a fireball a bit smaller than a peanut. It wasn¡¯t a viable attack on a fight, since you just use all your mana for a single spell. But for him it was a novelty for science. Success ! I immediately release the fireball to the river. ¡°Pshhhhhhhh¡± You could hear the water evaporating for a minute, joy and wickedness and could be seen on my dizzy face, while falling unconscious. --------------------------------------------------John POV-------------------------------------------------- If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. At the age of 3, when they tested my mana, they said i had 9.9 unit of mana.The man with the most mana ever known of our country had 9.8 mana and died long ago that make me the one with the most mana of the country. During those 2 years i kept asking theoric lesson of the nature to our instructor Don, Don was really friendly to me and non stop teach me because he wanted to see the rise of one of his student as the strongest mage. I got along very well with the other kids,i asked xulphyr to come with us but he said ¡° i have to focus on learning magic and be strong to fulfill my dream¡± Xulphyr always have been mysterious,not that i had the feeling he was hiding something, but it was like he didn¡¯t think like the rest of us. He only had 8.2 unit of mana which is a bit better than average in this academy but i had the feeling that he is stronger than me. He told me he trained close to the river, so i went to river spying on Xulphyr training to know if he was really powerful. He stood in front of the river, close to the river, with one hand he created a fireball the size of a fist with the other hand he did create a ball of water and froze it while moving them around him for a second, using earth to increase the resistance of his skin. I was watching that closely, not that it was hard to do this magic, every kid know how to do it. the thing is he did it with ease like it was easy and natural to create magic and he could do it without thinking, not even focusing to handle his spell. I knew it ! Xulphyr is awesome ! but what surprised me was what he said next. ¡°I still waste more than 80% of the mana used but I succeed to not even consume 0.5 mana units,good good¡±Xulphyr said happily. He did say he need only 0.5 mana unit to do it ¡­ Even me, that being praised by Don use more than 1 mana unit ! He surely must got wrong! ¡®AhAhAhAh¡±Xulphyr smile in a demonic way while laughing like the antagonist of a novel. I was totally confused, but his voice made me shudder. I was doubting that maybe, maybe he wasn¡¯t a good guy. But there¡¯s surely an explanation to that right, I was going to talk to him but. ¡°Now that I''ve fulfilled my goal of the last two years,i can do an experiment, right? Will i be the first human in earth that succeed to make chemical fusion works ? The fusion of two hydrogen to form a helium, like the sun?¡±Xulphyr At this moment i feel sad for my friend, What nonsense he is saying, did he lost his mind ? he went crazy !? It is really sad¡­ He was a good guy , i must watch after him and say it to the instructor and ¡­ But what happens next totally shocked me. a fireball with a size smaller than peanut was warming all the surrounding, and the fireball went to the river. But the fire were still intact, he went into the river. ¡°Pshhhhhhhh¡± I could see a large amount of water evaporate into the air with the only reason that a little fireball went to the river. I first had a feeling of incomprehension, then terror, then jealousy and finally admiration. Because the world around me seemed so absurd i didn¡¯t even see xulphyr lost consciousness, but he still had a wicked smile on his face. Is he a Devil? ¡°Xulphyr, i had the feeling that you were awesome,but what was that !? ¡° shouted John But after that i was sure of one thing, i will never be the best magician in the country. Chapter 08: Confidence When i did wake up, i didn¡¯t open my eyes yet and feel a headache ¡°I forced a little too much on magic i guess¡± Xulphyr ¡°forced too much, my ass! What did you do ¡­ How did you do ! You must tell me ! ¡° John said with a voice full of admiration Xulphyr mind was filled with incomprehension ¡°What? Why you are here ? I didn¡¯t see you when i was¡­.¡± Xulphyr No one went to see me in my training during 2 years so i didn¡¯t expect just when i tried the fusion i didn¡¯t even think it would succeed in the first try. ¡°John, i trust you so i will tell you the true, I came from another world and what i did is something that you need to learn for a long time before understanding, so i can¡¯t just tell you right away like that you know ¡­¡±Xulphyr ¡°Other world my ass! TELLLLLL ME ! I can understand, i swear, i already know maths like multiplication and even know how to write!So it¡¯s not a problem for me ¡°John glaring at me my headache get worse after hearing that answer, i made a pained face ¡° This¡­ If you don¡¯t believe that i came from another world, it will be hard to justify because it¡¯s the truth, this is not something you can learn in an instant. But if you want i can teach you, it will help for all your magics,but it will take a long time before you can actually do it¡± XulphyrLove this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. ¡° Its fine, if you want to hide the true, But you must teach me, you promise ?¡±John ¡°promised¡±sighed Xulphyr And thus,The man with the most mana of the country began to learn modern science in a medieval era. until the end of the day, Xulphyr taught John,John understood how hard science was, but kept learning. He was a young boy who worked hard. Afterwards, they went to bed, to be ready for next stage of learning, tomorrow morning. The whole class is gathered in the yard, waiting for the instructor ¡°Eh,John what do you think we will learn next ? ¡° Bran ¡°I don¡¯t know more than you Bran!¡±John ¡°Who is this young boy always alone, no one know a thing about him, we heard you live with him¡± Bran ¡°Ah, he¡¯s my friend. He¡¯s very strong and knowledgeable, you know ?John ¡°it doesn''t matter, no one can be stronger than you in our class, John¡± Bran complimented him John wanted to answer, But before John could answer, the instructor was already in the yard and started talking ¡°You should all know how to use magic efficiently enough to be able to fight, What you gonna learn next is how to use it efficiently, to take down your opponent, No fight are allowed without an instructor and you must not use more than half your mana during a fight, IS IT CLEAR?¡± Don ¡°YES SIR ¡°all the class shouted ¡°Xulphyr, i didn¡¯t see you during these 2 years, i want to see how much you improve come here and try to kill me, take me as if i was your worst enemy¡± Don after Don said that all the class was shocked ¡°Are you sure?¡± Xulphyr ¡°Yes, Yes don¡¯t worry, you won¡¯t hurt me i¡¯m confident enough, do you doubt me ? ¡°Don I was doubting his words, because he had no more mana than anyone in the class. How could he handle me without put my life in danger? isn¡¯t he overconfident? But i didn¡¯t liked being overestimated so i will go with all i have ! ¡°Fine¡± said Xulphyr with a confident look Chapter 09: a life lesson ¡°You can go when you want Xulphyr, i¡¯ll let you the first attack¡± Don In an instant, I made 3 fireball out of my right hand and took 3 different trajectory to the instructor at a high speed But Don wasn¡¯t caught off guard, he create a small wind that totally dispersed all of my fireball But it was not the real attack, the fire that dispersed blocked the vision of Don of a short moment, which allow me to land a large amount of water that, i will transform in ice to take the win but Don saw it coming without even see it with his own eyes, landing a fireball directly into my water, which evaporate it and i lost control over the water I didn¡¯t expect that, but i didn¡¯t stop, I immediately used a frost wind in order to froze indirectly the water in the air to him but at this moment i made a crucial mistake, Don focused only on wind to push away my own frost wind Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. hot and humid wind confronted to a cold wind, created a little tornado into the court for a short moment before disappearing due to the lack of power supply and didn¡¯t had enough power to continue on its own It was a complete defeat, i kept using more and more spell to take him down, fireball, threw rock at high speed,wind and all kind of attack, but it was pointless i did get countered with 5 time less power that it needed to made my attacks, i stopped when i had only 2.3 mana unit left i realized how important, and how stronger Don was, the way you use your magic was really impactful in a battle ¡°I lost¡­ Sir¡± Xulphyr but when focused on the battle i didn¡¯t realise, the instructor was shocked,all the student but john shuddered ¡° No, Bran, Xulphyr is stronger than me, he¡¯s my teacher after all¡± said John while smiling the instructor that needed his full focus on the battle, had not the feeling to fight against a kid, but a monster, a monster that had more and more powerful spell and an amazing control over it, but no battle theory and experience at all ¡°What an amazing talent, Xulphyr, you are not allowed to fight against any student, you will train with me, i will teach you all i know about magic fighting and war¡±Don and that is how Xulphyr started to learn directly from Don and started to learn battle theory and gain experience Chapter 10: The tournament ambition 8 years have passed, 8 years of battle training and theory, i still can improve but i had confidence that only in battle training and theory i was stronger than any student, not to mention my understanding of nature and control over magic. 8 years i''ve teached John what he needed to know in physics and chemistry Don look at Xulphyr, with admiration ¡°Xulphyr i teached you all i could, i am proud, Not only are you very good, but you also work hard, You have just 13 years old and you already surpassed me ,there is a tournament on the academy that all the strongest students will join, you should join and win the tournament to make a name¡± Don ¡° Yes, Don, I will definitely be victorious.¡± said Xulphyr with a confident face,but he didn''t show his true ambition I will do everything to gain power and military status, and one day, i will lead a revolt that take down the ruling class, and be the next monarch. i not only need to win this tournament, but i need to impress everyone to make my name known by the higher up, to make them think i will be a great ally to them. And then taking them down before they even know they were betrayed There''s no best time to say ¡®keep your friend close and your enemies closer¡¯ The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. Later on the day, i went to register to the tournament and i saw John ¡°Hey, bro, you sign up for the tournament too.¡° John ¡°Yes, John, if one day, i became an enemy of the country. Will you be by my side ? ¡° Xulphyr ¡°bro, why did you ask? of course I¡¯ll always be by your side ! ¡° said happily John ¡°Good, ah and good luck for the tournament John, i hope you can go to the final¡±Xulphyr ¡°with your teaching, i will definitely have a chance ¡° John ¡°See you in final, then, bro¡± Xulphyr While applying the needed information to register the tournament, i noticed the followed rules of the tournament -The match will continue unless one surrender, is hit by magic or be unconscious for the lack of mana. You can fight with all your strength because 10 different instructor will protect you if you can¡¯t defend yourself from an attack, Of course you will be declared as looser -The first round consist of 20 match, the 128 players that have the best win rate will goes to the next round -A bracket will be done between those 128 players, the bracket will be done depending on your win rate this way The highest win rate will fight against the lowest win rate and the loser is eliminated from the tournament -Good luck, the result of this tournament will be known by the country if you get a good result on the tournament you may have a good job to serve nobility or a good rank in the army depending on where you want to go Xulphyr was doing a wry smile before aiming to the location of the tournament Chapter 11: a complete no-match After waiting a while, my first match was decided against a guy named Uris, a 17-year-old male . The match had taken place on a training field. Because several matches are played at the same time, there were not many spectators However the whole class of Xulphyr apart from John who had been amazed at the fight between him and Don was following Xulphyr to see his progress. " Uris and Xulphyr come and enter the circle, the fight will begin at my go" said the instructors When the two met each others. Uris said with a compassionate look "Kid, you don''t have chance for being against me, you seem pretty talented for your young age but I''ve trained 4 year more than you, you stand no chance you should give up on this match" But Xulphyr was impassive, not even responding to Uris, he closed his eyes The instructors were worried when Xulphyr closed his eyes and asked him "You should open your eyes xulphyr, we''re going to begin the match" "You can begin the match, I''ll be more focus with my eyes close" replied Xulphyr Straight-facedThis book was originally published on Royal Road.

"Fine, the match may begin, Go!"answered the instructors powerlessly "Arrogant brat, closing your eyes against me," Uris said angry, his pride could not accept a 13-year-old boy behaving like that. But Xulphyr had not closed his eyes because he underestimated his opponent, in reality he used the "wind" to feel his surroundings, like a bat would use echolocation to see in the dark. As the fireballs arrived at Xulphyr, a multitude of very light winds scattered each fireball and all fireball vanished as if nothing had happened. Uris was intotal incomprehension, How can he stop these fireballs so easily, what''s more without even seeing them At this time the Xulphyr created a strong wind, creating water inside this wind, and used the force of the wind to throw ice peaks at full speed over Uris at short intervals with every peaks take constantly different paths Uris could stop the ice peak from reaching him by creating rocks around him, but it used countless amount of mana and within a second Uris was out of mana ¡°I surrender ¡° Said Uris while getting unconscious The instructors were shocked, but Xulphyr''s class looked at him with admiration as if it was an expected result. It took more than 5 sec for the instructors to declare Xulphyr as the winner of the match ¡°The winner of the match is Xulphyr ¡° We could clearly hear the admiration of the class ¡°Xulphyr won this easy , as expected of such a genius ¡° ¡°In the army, if i have him as my superior, i am sure that we won¡¯t have to fear any defeat¡± And we could clearly see somes girls looked at him with more than admiration on their look Chapter 12: The fate of Loanev Inside the academy''s cathedral, in an isolated room was a man sitting looking at papers, his name was David Zaapiel, he was the principal of the academy, and the third Son of the king. "Knock, knock" "Get in!" David the man entered and delicately gave a paper to david "This is the result of the preliminary tournaments, for the first time there is 6 students who managed to have 20 wins for 0 losses" David sketched a smile "What are the names of these students?" ask David "Tamara,Wilan,Wil,Max,John and Xulphyr, Sir" "Well, well it is good to have many talents, our country is facing great difficulty in this time of war, we could send them right after the tournament!" "Yes sir, I''ll arrange it right away" the man bowed down showing his loyaltyLove this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. "knock knock knock" "Get in!" David The man who entered the room had a grave attitude and spoke with a breathless tone "It''s urgent, Loanev lost the war! I repeat ! Loanev lost the war ! the Lemuria country has completely colonized Loanev!" The faces of everyone present in the room twisted "What do we do now, David Zaapiel?" said a man in a worried voice "We continue the tournament, we must classify the strength of these students and we will use them as a foundation to colonize the lands of the north that have no leader, but full of small barbarian people to create a new country, and perhaps one day we can take our revenge"David ¡°As your command, because of your blood ties, 3rd brother of the king,David Zaapiel, you are now the king of the country named Loanev¡± ¡°Long live to the king David !!¡° Hearing that, how his useless first brother inherited the right of succession,and now is probably dead, he was still happy to be the king of the country despite its lost ¡°Fine, and if the winner of the tournament is liked by most of the students to make him do the announcement of my succession to the throne, we will give him a high rank, he won¡¯t be able to refuse. We do that for gaining directly the heart of the students, and they won¡¯t try to seek a stupid revenge against Lemuria country ¡° All the noble of the place answered in harmony ¡°Yes, king!¡± Chapter 13: a goal that can only lead to failure -----------------------------------------John POV---------------------------------------------------- When i saw the bracket, i was happy. I would be in final against Xulphyr if i win all my match. Because of the 8 years i have learn from Xulphyr, i had comprehension of nature really close to Xulphyr, in addition to my 9.9 mana unit in term of power alone, i was stronger than him that had only 8.2 The bracket put me against Duales, a 16 year old boy that had 14 win and 6 Loose. It was a pointless match, i want to see the match of Xulphyr! It''s much more interesting! But because the match were played in the same time if i don¡¯t end this fast i might not be able to see Xulphyr battle ¡° John and Duales come and enter the circle, the fight will begin at my go" said the instructors ¡°You should surrender, you have no chance to win. Don¡¯t waste my time i want to see Xulphyr match ok ?¡± John ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate me, i might have lose 6 times but it was close, ok ?¡±Duales John sighed ¡°don¡¯t blame me to overdo it then ¡° ¡°Your match may begin , GO !¡± Said the instructors The moment John heard the GO he created an ice spear with 9.0 of his mana unit and keep 0.9 mana to stay conscious The ice pear had 15 meters of diameter that rushed directly into his opponent It wasn¡¯t efficient but he was sure it was strong enough to defeat an opponent if it simply outpower him Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. Diales shouted ¡°AHHHH¡± While defending with all his mana, but it didn¡¯t even impact the spear the 10 instructor begun to create big shield made of iron to protect Diales life, a shield done with the mana of 10 instructor combined,the ice spear stopped, but the shield was broken ¡°I win, right? can i go now?¡± john said impatiently The intructeurs did not believe what they had just seen, as if it was a fantasy, although he knew that the child was the one with the most mana in the country. Creating such a spear should never have been possible for a human, Duales was frightened trusting he was going to die. Plus John''s behavior of just wanting to get out of the game as fast as possible was completely unrealistic. ¡°The winner is John, yes, you can go¡± John started to run to Xulphyr match, when he finally could see the match of xulphyr all the spectators were laughing "I said i won''t let any of your attack reach me, but could you make an effort? Anduse something stronger and elaborate? I''m still waiting!" Xulphyr "I refuse to give up, I promised to never to give up, but if I keep attacking you I''ll just exhaust all my mana, so please, could you end this with a good spell" Says his opponent "I, too, refuse to finish it, I set myself the goal of making my opponents surrender without attacking them, you know, it''s going to be a problem if this match never ends?" Xulphyr said friendly The crowd laughed even louder Xulphyr will always surprise me, he always does things differently from the others, seeing him I began to believe more and more that he came from another world. "Well, if you don''t attack, I''ll force you to attack me" instead of using magic, his opponent run to Xulphyr, and try to punch him Xulphyr dodged him by using the wind magic , because he had never practiced close combat, he would never have dodged fast enough without using magic. "It''s embarrassing.... Well you win,i''ll finish it with a fireball, my plan has led to failure." Xulphyr threw a fireball at his opponent, an instructor protected him. "It was a magnificent victory for Xulphyr" said an instructor. "Superb victory, indeed" said another instructor And that is how John and Xulphyr, won their first matches.
