《The Mighty Mage Warrior》
?Chapter 00:- Begining
It is a day of summer, whole Capital City seems to be sweating lot due to extreme heat. A very large city, this City can accommodate several million people, It is one of the cities of Dorothy Kingdom which is located in Eastern Region. There are total four large Kingdoms surrounding Heaven''s Empire.
In the middle of the city a young boy age around 17 years old, wearing black pants and black-jacket was walking causally with a smile on his face, he was walking with small step-step, it looked like a humming rythm with short steps he keep on crossing 5m-10m instant.
Suddenly, 2 men approached the young boy who looked in their mid-twenties, they were wearing armors and had the aura of warriors but their faces resembled each other like twins, were breathing heavily.
"Young Master" said the man with respect as he kneeled.
"Young Master, at last we found you¡ah" said the other man who was breathing heavily like he might faint any time.
The boy who was walking with humming footing halted his foot steps due the sudden appearance of this two men. Then soon his smiling face suddenly turned to somewhat cold person. If someone saw his face they might confuse him for another person.
The men who were kneeling looked towards the boy, soon their face expression''s changed and looked tensed. The Twin brothers were first level warriors who joined the Army.
"Twin Brothers! Looks like you already found me ah¡" said the boy with a cold voice And ordered the men who were kneeling to stand up due the unpleasant situation caused by them. Some of the crowd''s who were meddling in their works kept looking towards the armored men and the boy who was called ''Young Master''.
"Trrrrr"
With a tearing sound, he looked over the content''s and a faint smile appeared on his face and ordered the men to return back.
"Oh! Looks like, I can''t offered to live a carefree life now. Zenki brother''s your can return to Mansion and tell my Father to don''t worry about it¡ I will reclaim everything that had been lost."
The twin brother''s nodded and tuned back to return. However, one of the brother''s turned back and looked towards the young boy.
"Young Master, are you sure about this?!" said one of the twin brother''s.
"Zenki, I already made my resolve when King made his decision to banish my clan. However, don''t get me wrong, I will return. When I return they will understand the true ruthless of power." the boy replied and left the scene.
The man who was called Zenki kept staring towards the boy until he disappeared from his eye sight.
" Brother Zenki, why did you turned back?" Said another brother who somewhat looked relieved after completing the mission given by his superior and made his turn for home return.
" ah¡" looked Zenki towards his Twin brother and said " Brother Denki, Do you know about the Sector clan right."
Denki nodded and said "Of course!! Brother, I know about them, why are you bringing that now?"
" Five years ago, Entire clan was crushed and it took their entire power just to escape from one person."
Zenki was shivering as he recalled the day of battle during five years ago. The clan which was famous for Assassination was completely destroyed by single person.
"What?" Said Denki with a shocking expression who heard somewhat unbelievable story for the first time.
Zenki and Denki were twin brothers but Denki joined the warrior''s clan recently, so he did know much about the past battles. However, he was not a fool who did not understand the meaning of his twin brother words.
"Brother, don''t tell me¡" a sweat appeared on Denki as he looked towards the direction of boy who disappeared from their sights.
Both twin brothers looked towards the direction of young boy who disappeared from their sights and uttered the words at the same time and left the scene.
"The One Who Follows The Path Of Ashura"
????????
On the Dark Mountains, there lays a hidden sector.
The sky had slowly grown dark.
Today, there was an exceptionally large number of students on the training grounds, nearly two hundred.
¡°Today¡¯s evening training session ends now.¡±
A middle age man ordered the students, and smiled. ¡°Before leaving, however, everyone needs to first congratulate the children who are about to leave the sector and join the army.¡±
With summer¡¯s end came the season of military recruitment. With the entire continent engaged in an age of warfare, every youngster viewed becoming a mighty warrior as a badge of honor.
Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.Naturally, there were also those who wished to become mages, but becoming a mage is an extremely difficult task. Perhaps only one person in ten thousand had the necessary qualifications to become a mage. With such a low probability, the average person wouldn¡¯t even consider it. Becoming a warrior was much easier.
Upon turning sixteen, as long as they were at least warriors of the first rank, they could easily enter the army.
¡°Master Lee, thank you!¡±
"Master Shen, thank you!"
A hundred and twenty six children, all age seventeen, respectfully bowed towards Master. These youngsters normally did not attend training. They had all become adults, and had their own jobs to do. But since they had all been trained by Master''s since they were toddlers, they all considered Master''s to have been like their benevolent parents. Before joining the army, they all came here to say farewell to Master''s"
As the students started biding farewell, Masters started to head back to their mansion building''s which looked like ancient shrine.
" Today, It is a great day for the our disciples. Isn''t it Master Lee." said Master Shen as he looked towards the disciples who were biding farewells.
"Haha¡¡Of course!! It is. But, there is nothing to fear about it, they are our disciples" replied Master Lee with absolute confidence in their disciples.
As they walked and kept on discussing about their disciple''s future, they reached the entrance hall of the Ancient temple on which some words were written " The Path Of Ashura"
Then,
A shadow started to head towards the Entrance hall while sprinting on mountains as fast as leopard with his sharp gaze and reached in front of the Masters.
He kneeled and made a greeting posture with both left and right hand folded in front.
"Disciple Tian, Greets his Masters.."
Both Master Lee and Master Shen looked at each other and a large smile appeared on their faces . The first one to make his move was none other than master Lee.
"Hahahah¡¡.What a wonderful surprise, What a wonderful surprise, Who would have thought that, you would come to us after long time¡." Master Lee laughed as he continued to speak" It''s been already five years you graduated and started to follow your own path. So Disciple tell us what is it do you want?! ."
TiAN is a disciple who joined the Ashura Temple, at the age of six and trained under Master Lee and graduated at the age of Thirteen. And become the youngest prodigy of Ashura Arts. However, soon he left the temple for his personal reasons of clan.
Without hesitation he looked into the eyes of Master Lee and said
"Master Lee, I want to know the location of ''Founders Sword". There is something, I have to reclaim at any cost. However, with my current strength it is nearly impossible."
Master Lee and Master looked at each other then, and glanced towards the youth who made his resolve and determined to do anything.
"TiAN, I guess. It is time for you to undertake the task of finding the Founder''s sword. And It is also Grand Master''s wish. However, it is not easy to find the sword even if you know the location."
TiAN kept on listening to Master Shen''s word''s without leaving anything behind.
"To find the sword you have enter the enter the Blood-Cave, which is located somewhere in the wilderness.
However, for that you have become minimum level 5 magician or take the help of mages to enter into the wilderness which is full of beasts and minsters So which path you want to take¡"
Master Lee who explained and Master Shen who was bystander both waited for TiAN''s decision.
TiAN who listened until know already know from his experince:-
Life is Never Easy.
Of course! With his clan''s wealth he could have afforded a nice sword. However, TiAN never depended on his clan''s power or fame from the early age. So without hesitation he already made his decision, if the paths are colliding with each other, so be it.
"Master Lee, Master Shen. I already decided to follow the path of mage. So I am gonna retrieve the sword and become its owner."
A week already passed after the meeting with his old masters,TiAN made his necessary arrangements to enter the Magus Academy.
The first step as Magus started on this day.
Chapter 01:- Magus Academy
Chapter 01 :- Magus Academy
It is already late at night. Cold wind is whistling outside, but in the room a middle aged man was sitting on the chair legs folded in front of the firewood. The room was filled was different kinds of weapons and were decorated on the walls. Little lamps were illuminating the entire room. In the deep silence a raged voice echoed.
"Why?"
This person is the 149th head of Warrior''s clan ::
Glen Dreyheart.
Few years ago the entire clan was framed for smuggling divine beast cores from the Military Sect and banished by King from their position in Military.
In this world there are many kinds of beast''s.
Lower, Middle, Higher and Divine Level Beast and more some of them even reached deity level.
And every beast''s possess a core. Which is same as human heart if removed they die. But, just to kill a lower level beast, it takes a entire platoon of first level warriors.
This beast''s cores are like Treasure to human race. With the help of beast cores, humans created many kinds of Artifacts and tools which can be used as weapons in warfare.
For example, a lightning beast core possesses, lightning effects and which is useful for a warrior who does not has any affinity towards magic. He can use lightning magic using core of the lightning beast with some tools or artifacts created using alchemy. The more the level of the beast, the power varies it. Not only that, a mage who uses same element can increase his offensive power through cores.
However, obtaining the cores are very difficult. The humans created guilds and even information booths to earn money. They are also many beasts which crossed the higher level which is more precious than low level beasts and obtaining these cores are nearly impossible for Normal level warrior''s.
However, a saint level warrior can easily kill a lower level divine beast. But, most of them are do not care about richess because they persuade more power.
If someone earns the divine beast cores it will be the same a earning treasure box. A normal human can live his life with ease by obtaining a divine beast core.
Glen Dreyheart has started to picture the entire past scenarios in his mind. He kept imagining their downfall of entire clan and was looking at a firewood with full of rage. They were also one of the ancient bloodlines which served the Heaven''s Empire and Dorothy Kingdom for thousands of years.
In these, all yeas they became the strongest military clan in the Kingdom and were the major strength of the kingdom''s power. But, the king did not liked much about the warrior clan who were superior to his power so he did not bothered to investigate further and banished their clan. However, they did not lost their territories which existed even before the creation of Dorothy Kingdom. So the king did possessed any right to take their territory.
In the middle of his thought, two people came rushed towards the mansion gates and were heavily breathing. With a knocking sound, his thoughts came back to the reality.
*knock*
*knock*
Glen looked towards the door and ordered his family Butler to open the gate.
"Boris, looks like twin brothers are back open the gates and prepare some rewards for them.."
"As you wish, Milord!"
The butler who was called Boris, nodded and slightly bowed before leaving to open the door.
"At last some good news, they returned quite fast given my son''s nature it might have at taken at least few years to find him¡."
Glen Dreyheart was thinking about his first son who left the clan at the early age of six due to his mothers death. She was assassinated by certain sect. To take revenge for his mothers death, he made his resolve to become strong and left for training.
After few years of investigation Glen found the sec which was behind her wife''s death. Which was called Assassination sect. However, someone already destroyed the entire assassination sect. And he thought it might cause his son to undergo painful trauma, if the reason of revenge cease to exist.
With his resources of clan, Glen investigated the individual who destroyed the sect, and after the one whole year of investigation. They found the identity of the destroyer who avenged his wife death to thank him. Then he came to that the one who destroyed the Assassination sect. was none other than his first son. Which made him recognize his son''s strength and also felt proud for having a blessed warrior in his clan.
"Milord, Milord¡."
Two people came rushed and kneeled in front of him, there faces resembled each other, One can easily tell by looking at them, that they were both twins.
"Calm down, drink some water and Tell me the result''s of your mission.."
Both twins nodded and replied.
"Yes! Milord¡."
A few minutes later¡.
"Milord, as per your order we went to find young master. And after wandering and investigating for whole six month at last found him.."
a sigh of relief appeared on Glen''s face, he was not 100% sure of this mission success. Because, Glen did know the whereabouts of his son. He was like ghost, who did not want to be find by others.
It''s been 11 years last time he saw his son''s face before leaving clan. So he thought twin brothers may not be able to find him.
Glen specially sent the twin brothers for this mission because they were his private investigation squad. and one of the best investigators from his clan.
Even, with their there help he was not sure about the success of this mission. And there was also one biggest reason, Why he chose Twin''s to handle this mission. It was due to Elder brother of twin''s who knew some whereabouts of his son when they investigated the Assassination Sect. Obliteration.
Without any delay, Glen ordered the twin''s to continue their report.
"Milord, after visiting and investigating many cities and towns we found many clues about the young master. However, it completely flaw and placed by the young master himself to hide his tracks.
Even so one after one we cleared it and analysed throughly to get clues about him then. Then we reached the capital and made a stop to relax from exhaustion.
Even after investigating for whole six months. We did not achieved any result''s which made us fall into desperation .
But, at the time like this, may be god wanted to help us or Young Master wanted himself to be found.
We saw a young boy whose appearance matched that of Young Master. However, with that we did not reached the conclusion. Last time when, I saw young master he was a kid at the age of 13 but four years had passed since then. I confused him for some another, However my senses did not betrayed me when I saw his same dark black hair and red crimson eyes, which was given that he was from Warrior''s clan. The way he carried himself and they way his aura reflected made me felt like, I was in front of Lady Catherine¡"
Glen who kept on listening the reports from the twin''s made him fell excited deep within his heart and forgotten the grief from the past few years from knowing about his son''s whereabouts.
However, last few words from the twin''s made his heart twitch with a aching pain, a painful expression appeared on his face.
Soon the Elder brother of twin''s who was excitingly kept reporting about his mission felt like he crossed his boundaries which changed the color of his face and both Twin''s kept pleading for their life''s.
"I apologise for my rudeness, Milord."
"Your humble servants made you remember the past.
We Plead for my life. Milord! Please have mercy on us, Lord Glen."
The Twin''s kept on kneeling and apologising for their mistake.
It is not so rare for servants to loose their head''s, If the nobles felt unhappy about the reports.
However, Glen was not like them. He knows very well that the twins did not mean to offend. So he ordered them to continue.
"Enough!! Continue with your reports¡"
The Twin''s without delaying, kept on continuing with report.
"We went towards the boy who resembled young master to confirm. When we called him, he immediately called us Twin brothers which shocked us and made us 100% sure that he Young Master TiAN. Young Master''s height was about 175cm tall, and did not looked muscled like warrior. However, the pressure he exerted was far stronger than you, Milord.
And without delaying we gave him the letter which was given by you and brought back young master''s reply¡"
Glen did not felt much shocked from knowing his son''s power which exceeds. While listening to the twins report a faint smile appeared on his face. Even, the butler who was listening to the report felt happy for the lord. Boris worked for more than 80 years in the household, he know about the present Clan Leader''s suffering very well more than anyone in the clan. So after hearing the reports from the twins what Glen was feeling, he already felt deep within his heart. Without saying anything he kept on listening like bystander.
"Oh! So what did he say¡"
Twin''s looked towards Lord, who had a happy expression, without delaying twins continued reporting_
Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings."Milord, Young Master said ''he said he will reclaim everything that had been lost.".
And lastly-
At last a true smile emerged on his face.
"Lastly, what? don''t make wait more than already I have¡"
Glen already tried to reclaim everything in his. However, with his clan''s downfall, they loat many resources and became the lowest clan without any power. He had only one way to reclaim everything and it was to prove in front of the Emperor of the Heaven''s Empire.
Glen already understood that this Kingdom will not support his clan. After the death of his wife, he went into depression and now after downfall of his clan, he felt a heavy blow with too much pressure and took another wife.
Now, he had three children''s because as a clan head he should continue his blood line and must have heir''s. But, they are too small to be of any help for him. So there was only person whom Glen had to relay upon, who was none another than his first son TiAN.
"Milord, we did not understand Young Master''s words deeply. However, we somewhat understood what he meant. After saying he will reclaim everything.
He said, he will return and When he return''s they will understand the true ruthlessness of power¡.
Milord, these words felt more important than previous one''s. So we felt somewhat puzzled about hearing it¡"they".
Whom was he referring to, we are still puzzled about it."
Twin''s after completing their report waited for Glen''s reply. However, the reply did not came, instead silences stumbled upon them. Then a loud laughter started to emerged in the room.
"hahaha¡¡¡¡.. My son¡..hahahaha¡¡.¡..our¡¡¡.. son¡¡...real¡did¡taken¡¡.upon¡.you¡..Catherine¡¡.hahahahahah."
The owner of the deep laughter was none other than, Lord Glen. He kept laughing after hearing the reports. Glen looked towards the Twins and glanced over butler. The butler immediately understood the meaning behind his master laughter. The one who looked puzzled were Twins.
Without any delay Boris went inside the another room and brought two sacks of gold which was more bigger than hamd carried pouch which was placed in front of the glass table.
" Zenki, Denki. You twin brothers did a great job this time. Here, take this is reward, don''t hold back take it.¡hahha.''''
Zenki and Denki who looked puzzled came back to real senses and looked towards their Lord who looked so happy and kept laughing. Then both made their glances towards the sacks which was filled with gold coins. Without holding back they took the sacks which with filled with gold coins.
And awaited for dismissal order.
"You may return to your regular duties. After few days start investigating about the smuggling case. For now you can enjoy your standby time¡.
"Yes! Milord" both twin''s nodded and looked satisfied before leaving the mansion.
A few days later after the reporting.
It was 9:00 PM at the Morning.
Sounds of birds chirping could be heard from the outside.
There were only two people left inside the mansion. Which was only used during the emergency meetings.
Glen who was the head the clan relaxed himself with hands folded in front of the chest And the butler who started to pour some tea in front of his Lord to make him relieve his morning stress.
Glen who relaxed himself took the tea cup and started drinking the tea within few min''s he completed drinking and placed it back on the saucer and looked towards the Butler who looked like he wants to say something.
"Boris, is there something you want to ask?!"
"No, Lord Glen. I wanted to confirm something¡" replied Boris in respected manner.
"Oh! What is it?"
The Boris was not only the butler who served the two generations of the clan, he was also the closest friend of previous head without hesitation he spoked.
"Lord Glen, I still don''t understand Why did you ordered young master to become mage, I believe no one in the clan has the ability to use magic.
According to this old man''s intellect no one in the clan was able to use magic even in the previous generation. However, they were blessed with superior life force and strength. Even so, I still don''t understand the reason why you contacted young master and ordered him to join Magus Academy . "
Glen who listened to Boris did not know whether he should be proud about his butler''s intellect or should be happy for his understanding about his clan.
"Boris, you have been been serving my clan for almost 80 years. You were also my father''s best friend, your point of view is good. But" taking a deep breadth Glen continued " but, it does not mean there were never.."
"Lord, you don''t mean ¡.." said Boris who understood the meaning behind his Lord''s words.
"Yes! As you said our blood line is blessed with superior life force so that we can live more than other mortals do and strength far stronger than normal warriors. However, once in a thousand years a generation is blessed to use magic. I already confirmed it with my daughter and other sons¡"
After his wife''s death he took a wife and was blessed with three children. A daughter who was at the age of 10 and two sons whose age differs for one year, both were 7 and 8 years old. Every generation confirms their kids affinity with magic who might meet the requirement to become magicians.
So Glen used some tools from his clan treasures to check their affinity with magic and they passed the requirement. So Glen was 100% sure that his first son will be able to use magic.
"I know he will be able to use magic and become the strongest warrior of our clan who will surpass all generations¡." With a thought he relaxed himself.
And Boris did not perceived the matter any longer¡.
AT the same time,
Tian is standing in front of the gates of the Magus Academy. He raises his head and looks through the gates. There were many scholar''s at the moment walking here and there.
His hand is holding a letter as he walks towards the gates and mummers himself in thought: ¡®So big¡Is this is the Magus Academy"
The Academy was like palace which looked like wonderland. It was made of pure marble stones without any impurity in it. They were releasing different kind of holy energy which is good for mages to increase the better understanding the Natures gift Magic.
There were many students who were enrolled recently and there were also old students who were wearing dark brown robes and carrying staff with them.
Many guards were places in front of each buildings there were swords men and also warriors as guards.
New students were walking with there personal guards and some were with their parents. All of them were walking towards the two story building where affinity of magic will be checked.
Students will be able to enter the academy if they meet the requirements of Magi. (aka:-Mage/Magician).
Most of them were High classed Nobles son''s and Daughters and also some were even from royalty.
Of course, not every one of them will not be able to become mage. Because, one in the thousand''s are gifted to sense mana from the nature and able to use magic. However, there are some rare cases once in a generation. Many are gifted with affinity to sense mana. Due to that they are treated with care and whole kingdom contributes their riches towards the Magus Academy to train mages who are one of the big military assaults to kingdom. The more the merrier, war can be won easily with many mages.
while walking towards the building, TiAN was holding a letter.
This is the letter that Twin brothers delivered to him in the capital in Dorothy Kingdom. He once again looked at the letter and reads all of it at once. As he is reading, there is a complicated expression in his eyes. After a long time, he still has not put the letter down.¡®Father¡¯.
Tian quietly calls him. As he sobers at once. A stream of internal energy in the form of a flame issues from his hand, which burns the letter to ashes instantly.
After that, still with a grim expression he started to walk inside the building.
"Father, wait for me, Until I''m back¡.."
Thanks for reading my new work guys, I wrote many fictions in past. However, completed none reason is simple. I felt bored.. hahaha ..

Chapter 02 :- Irregular Rank Exception
Chapter 02 :- Irregular Rank Exception
Under the guidance of the Instructors, all of the people in square were walked into the main hall.
Within the main hall.
Many people were gathered inside the main hall to results of students. The great hall is located inside a building which looked like cathedral. The great hall floor is also paved with pure marble.
In the very front of the great hall, there were a line of chairs , seated upon which were representatives and recruiters from other kingdoms. Magus Academy is not the only academy used to train mages. There are total four large academies build in each kingdom.
There were total four kingdoms which comes under the Heaven''s Empire. Each Kingdoms represents their power and loyalty towards Heaven''s Empire.
They were North Kingdom, South Kingdom, East Kingdom and Lastly West Kingdom.
This Magus Academy Is located in the east region, which is called Easter Academy.
Which is located in the east kingdom, which is the Kingdom of Dorothy.
Directly in the middle of the great hall was the testing location. There was a black robed magus smiled and said in a clear voice, ¡° The testing location is right in the center. All testees, please come one at a time. No one else can enter the circle in the center. All testees, please get in line. Family and friends, please step to one side.¡±
There were numerous people who were looked towards the voice, and did as per the instruction. Parents, Friends and other non testers stepped back while testees came came forward.
Many of them were nervous and looked towards their parents. Of course, they would be.
Everyone wanted to make their parents proud and trained themselves from childhood. However, deep down they were sweating and looked scared to know their results.
AND
There also many Testees who looked absolute confident about their results, while some were scared.
Many of Royalty and Noble''s children looked calm on their surfaces because given their background its not that surprising. Because, most of the mages came from nobles and Royalty bloodlines and source of their confidence was, they must have already checked their affinity with magic by using some tools.
In the middle of the Testees. There was a youth with dark black hair and crimson red eyes, who looked neither scared nor confident, he was analysing the situation. His name was Tian Dreyheart.
Tian was looking towards the central circle which was ten or so meters wide, and there were three adults along with black roped mage within it. Two of them were responsible for administering the test, while one was responsible for recording the results. The testing equipment consisted of a crystal sphere and and a complicated, six-sided magical formation.
¡°First.¡±
The black robed mage pointed at the crystal ball and said,
¡°Place your hand atop the crystal ball. We will test your elemental essence affinities.¡±
The first tester was a twelve or thirteen year old young man. That young man nervously placed his right hand atop the crystal ball. Immediately, the entire crystal ball began to emanate a hazy, light red glow, with the occasional hint of green mixed in. The Elder Mage glanced at the scrap of paper in his hands, and emotionlessly said,
¡°Age, fourteen. Elemental essence affinities ¨C Fire, average affinity. Wind, low affinity.
¡°Now, step into the magical formation. Time to test your spiritual essence. Remember, stand there. Don¡¯t kneel or fall down. Let¡¯s see how long you can take it.¡±
The Elder mage who was recording remained as cold as ever. The young man nodded, then stepped into the six-cornered magical formation. A holy white aura immediately emanated from the bladed mage who was next to the Elder Mage, which shot into the middle of the magical formation.
Light-style elemental magic ¨C Holy Press
¡°Looks like the testing procedures in this era is the same as it was in the past.¡± said a old man who was next to Tian.
¡°Grandpa Hogs, what do you mean?.¡± a azure haired girl and blonde haired boy who was standing beside Tian asked the old aged man, without any change in facial expression, he kept focusing his hearing senses towards them.
¡°In the magical aptitude test, the elemental essence affinity test is secondary. The spiritual essence test is the main one. With proper meditation, your spiritual essence will increase your understanding the magic efficiency for the people your age.¡± Hogs explained to their grandchildren.
In a short period of time, the youth in the middle of the magical formation could no longer hold on.
¡°Spiritual essence, two times stronger than the average person of the same age. Not qualified to become a magus.¡± The bald elder coldly announced as the magical formation deactivated, and the youngster quietly departed. A burst of noise from nearby.
Everyone pitied the youngster who was not capable of becoming mage.
"Grandpa Hog. Why was he not qualified, didn''t you say, Spiritual essence must be stronger than why was he disqualified"? asked the blonde boy who was not accepting the results. Even, Tian looked shocked.
"Sheila,Ryan.." Hog looked towards his grandchildren and explained " that boys results is inevitable failure because his Spiritual essence was only two time stronger than average person.."
"Grandpa?¡" the kids were looking towards their Grandpa who looked knowledgeable about mage requirement with confused eyes and were becoming nervous. Hog who explained sighed and was tried to explain in better words. But, he words were interfered by other voice.
"He meant, your Spiritual essence must be stronger than your age or In simple terms, even if your magic affinity is good without stronger Spiritual essence you will never improve as mage, so that boy did not meet the requirements as mage ¡"
The Girl Sheila and Boy Ryan suddenly turned towards the source, and even Hog who was trying to explain to his grandchildren looked towards the voice. There was a young boy with Dark black hair which floated in thin hair and reached the ears and dark crimson eyes who looked like more radiant than fire. He was wearing silver jacket and black pant and was releasing a aura which was no less than nobles or royalty.
"Sorry, for interrupting your explanation Mr. Hogs.
My name is TiAN Dreyheart.
I was little troubled about this test to check this affinity towards magic. However, with your knowledgeable explanation, I somewhat get the basic idea how this works. For that, I thank you from bottom of my heart." Tian spoked in respected manner.
"Oh! you were listening to my explanation¡ahh" Hogs replied in casual manner who was bit amused and looked towards the boy.
"Yes! Mr.Hogs." nodded Tian.
"Well! Shelia, Ryan. Did you understand that boy''s explanation¡" Hogs looked towards his grandchildren, who expression showed they got it.
At the same time
¡°Age: 16, Spiritual essence, seven time stronger than the person of the same age.¡± The bald elder announced as the magical formation deactivated, and the young lady ran towards her parents with tears running from his eyes.
This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there."Oh.."
A burst of noise from nearby.
¡°Silence.¡± The bald elder coldly said, and immediately a large group of nobles no longer dared to speak.
¡°Next.¡±
Hogs and his grandchildren with Tian watched with interest from the side. One after another youngster was tested. Of the first ten, none met the requirements. Right now, this was a young lady in the magical formation, who had been able to hold out for longer than any of the ten before her.
¡°Hrm?¡± The bald elders eyes shone, and he immediately increased the power of the magical formation. After a long period of time, the young lady finally dropped down to one knee. The bald elder nodded in a satisfied manner. A hint of a smile on his face, he said,
¡°Spiritual essence, eight times stronger than most people your age. The minimum qualifications for becoming a magus have been met. You also possess average elemental essence affinity. You can become a magus!¡± The judgment of the bald elder had just determined the fate of this young woman.
¡°Oh, how wonderful!¡± The first person to shout with joy was not the young woman. Rather, it was the young woman¡¯s father, a bald, middle aged, gentlemanly looking person.
¡°Quiet!¡± The bald elder snapped in a cold, unhappy voice. Immediately, the ushers came and escorted the girl and her father to where the line of magus academies recruiters sat.
Many envious eyes were cast towards the young woman. As time went on, the people in the main hall grew more and more numerous. The magical testing event would go on for seven days, so most people didn¡¯t see the urge to come right away at the beginning.
¡°Next.¡± The bald elder said again. TiAN calmly walked into the center, Everyone looked towards the young boy who looked neither confident nor scared. His eye caught in dark hair and crimson eyes affected many people. Many young ladies looked towards the him with awe expression even the mages looked without blinking an eye towards the youngster.
TiAN placed his right hand on the crystal ball. Instantly! The crystal ball suddenly burst forth with light, as though it were the sun! Different rays of light intersected with colourful rays of light, and there were even some thin lines of red spaced in between. That eye-piercing brightness forced even the people nearby to squint their eyes. Seeing the sun-like brightness emanating forth from the crystal globe, everyone in the great hall was stunned.
Then soon the light settled down while only colors leaving behind which enclosed the whole crystal ball.
The bald elder mage quivered as he stared at the piece of paper in his hands. It was written clearly on top that details of the boy.
¡°Age:-17. Elemental essence affinities ¨C Light and Darkness.
Affinity level of exceptional for both is average"
"Uhmnn"
The crowd looked disappointed with the result.
However, That bald elder and other mages felt their heart thumping wildly. Most magi had average or High elemental essence affinity with different elements. However, Light and Darkness essence affinity are ridiculously rare!.
For example, an ordinary magus might require many years of training for understanding their elements and produce results, but for TiAN it will not be the same.
Looking at the the mages expression, the crowd who looked disappointed felt the results are something incredible they changes their expressions.
¡°Ooooooo.¡±
The entire hall burst with different expressions.
"Silence!" The mages shouted at the same time.
The crowd felt silent and did not dared to utter any thing from mouth.
TiAN understood very well, that his affinity to light and darkness is rare, without changing his facial expression he removed his hand from the crystal.
¡°Please enter the magical formation.¡± The bald elder mage actually used the word ¡®please¡¯ in addressing TiAN. Even the nearby nobles began to look at TiAN with a new light in their eyes. For a person to make these famous mages to address him with respect made them to change their attitudes towards TiAN.
TiAN stepped into the magical formation. The magical formation immediately glowed with a white aura, and then a sense of pressure immediately flooded into TiAN''s Spirit.
¨RLight-style elemental magic ¨C HolyPress¨Q
Some kind of aura was forcing on Tian''s body. TiAN stayed relaxed and closed his eyes.
The aura of the magical formation grew stronger and stronger, and the overawing presence grew stronger and stronger as well. Everyone in the great hall held their breaths, as everyone were looking towards youngster who was still relaxed with same position as before.
The mages were feeling impatience, their facial expression kept changing as they kept on increasing their power. But, soon a Dark robbed mage who was the representative of Magus Council came forward and stopped the test and looked towards the boy.
"Young! Lord are you feeling okay¡" the mage asked TiAN who looked relaxed as eyes closed.
"Ahh..Yes" replied TiAN who opened his eyes.
"Young Lord, this magic spell is one of basic spell to check the Spiritual essence. However, the mage force they used might have killed a first level mage. But, why are you still standing like nothing happened¡" The mage asked TiAN in respectfull manner.
Everyone, who were present in the large hall kept looking towards TiAN with '' come tell '' expression. TiAN felt bit creepy and replied, which made whole hall room shocked.
"Oh! Did something like that happend?"
Silence.
Complete Silence, the moments of silence filled the hall. Many did not know what to say or speak. Then once again it was broken by TiAN with another comment.
" Mage Lord''s. why are you still standing, what about my test¡" replied TiAN who looked still confused by the situation. But, others were not.
Many people looked with awe and mages looked doubtful about the magical formation and kept on trying the spell which worked quite well, However, to protect their dignity as Mages to Dark Robbed Mage announced to give him a Rank.
"Oh! What a Miracle, What a miracle. This child is blessed with by our Almighty Lord, and gifted with with rare ability to neglect light magic. From today onwards our church is blessing him with a rank as ''Exception''. "
"Ohhhoooohhhh"
The entire hall once again burst with different expressions.
¡°Does anyone know that youngster? What clan does he belong to?¡±The nobles in front were all whispering to each other. If they had made friends with this youngster of amazing potential, they would have acquired, in the future, an extremely formidable ally.
¡°His name is TiAN?¡± Some of the magus academy recruiters learned his name from the test administrators. The entire group of magus academy recruiters, who had previously been sitting there, smiling, all ran over enmasse to watch. Which magus academy would not want to recruit a genius such as this?
Standing alone in the magical formation. TiAN felt disapointed and left the magic formation.
Chapter End
Chapter 03:- Return Home
At this point in time, all of the magus recruiters charged forth. ¡°Hello, TiAN. I come from the Wester Magus Academy. Our Wester Magus Academy sincerely would like to admit you into our school. As long as you enroll with us, your entire tuition will be free, and every year we will even provide you with a thousand gold coins for living expenses. We will also invite an especially skilled magus teacher to personally train you.
¡°TiAN, I come from the Norster Magus Academy. We¡¡±
--------------
Seeing the swarm of people around him and how warmly they were treating him, TiAN was stunned for a long moment, while in his heart, he was still confused with the results. In the blink of an eye, so many recruiters had learned his name. This was really too amazing.
¡°Hey, everyone, please return to your seats. We need to continue the test.¡±
The bald elder Mage said in a kind voice. He could be arrogant towards those common folk, but he had to be courteous to the representatives of mighty magus academies.
¡°TIaN. Our Ernst Institute would sincerely like to invite you to become one of our students.¡±
From far away, another voice sounded out, and when it did, the entire hall went silent. Even the bald elder stopped speaking.
TiAN turned around.
A white-robed middle-aged man walked over. Smiling, he said,
¡°Exceptional elemental affinity, high spiritual essence, and dual-element. TiAN, our Easter Institute would very much welcome you to join us. I don¡¯t know if you would be willing to enter our Easter Institute?¡±
Across the entire massive Heaven''s Empire, each year the Easter Institute only enrolled a Few scant talented students!
Every single student who enrolled into the Easter Institute could be described as Gifted or genius.
But, TiAN did not had much knowledge about this and was confused to make decision.
At that time.
¡°TiAN, agree to him.¡± Hogs who was also looked shocked by the results, wanted to build good relation with the gifted child.
TiAN turned around and looked towards the old man, Hogs.
"TiAN, it looks like you don''t have much knowledge about the Magus Institutes. But, you don''t have to think much about it. Each Institute has their own fame and reputation. So you think which is better for you get settled¡"
"Oh!"
TiAN also felt extremely excited, but his head was confused. But, he looked very calm on the outside. TiAN knew very well that upon becoming a member of the Easter Institute, he can stay close to his father and in just a few decades, it would not be too difficult to become a magus of the seventh or eighth ranks if he works hard. His clan would once again flourish. Without much thinking he made his decision.
¡°Thank you, Mr. Hogs. Sir, it would be my honor to enroll within the Easter Institute .¡±
TiAN said courteously. Surprised at TiAN''s equanimity, the white robed man still smiled.
¡°TiAN, I will inform the Institute of your biographical details. When the time comes, just bring your proof of identity to the Institute and take a second, correlating test. Then, you will become an official student of our Institute.¡±
It was pointless to try and get someone else to take the test for you, because each school would do a backup test as well.
¡°Each academic year is divided into two semesters, with the first semester beginning in March 15th. As long as you arrive by March 15th, you will be fine. This is your proof of identity. It can also be considered your proof of admission.¡±
The white robed man withdrew a sealed red envelope from within his sleeves.
In fact, immediately upon knowing TiAN¡¯s test results, he had recorded TiAN''s details into the paperwork in the envelope. Because the white robed man believed without a doubt ¨C no one would refuse an offer from the Easter Institute!
¡°Thank you.¡± TiAN accepted the envelope. TiAN didn¡¯t look too excited on the outside, but deep with his blood was boiling with uncontrollably excitement and started walking towards outside.
Despite being packed, everyone in the main hall, from the commoners to the nobles, all discreetly made way for him to move through. Even those nobles who had previously scorned him for average results, were all now smiling at him in a friendly manner. Their attitudes were amazingly good.
This was a simple demonstration of the status which an Mage student held!
Watched by a crowd of nobles, commoners, and church officials, TiAN departed from Magus Academy.
After exiting the Main hall, now did he let the excitement he felt show on his face. His hands suddenly clenching into fists, his eyes shone with energy. Turning to look towards the sky, he rapidly said, ¡°Father, I''m coming back!¡±

**********
In a secluded courtyard of the Dreyheart Mansion. Which is located in middle of Raven town of the East region.
A middle-aged man was dressed in black was sitting on a wooden chair which was placed in / style and in front of him, a muscle chested man was training two kid''s in Internal Qi and sword arts. These both kids were none other than Glen''s 2nd and 3rd sons, Rex and Rudeus.
And the muscle chested man was a sixth level warrior who acted as instructor for the kids until they grow as first level warriors.
"Uncle Chad, how can I become strong like you.." Rudeus who was younger asked his instructor who was a sixth level warrior.
"Hmm, Rudeus. You have to continuously train for hours to become strong like me¡" replied Chad puffing his chest forward displaying his power.
"Hahaha¡..Rudi, first train hard become strong like me then you can dream on to become like uncle chad" Rex said to his younger brother teasingly.
These two brothers looked same but, they were not twins. Hair was blonde and eyes were blue.
Both of theirs age''s were 7 and 8 years, Rex was elder than Rudeus who was 8 years old.
¡®Father, what are you looking so happy, did something good happened?!"
A Girl whose hair was silver and eyes were azure came from one of the mansion rooms towards Glen.
This girl was Hestia, elder sister of both Rex and Rudeus and Glen''s daughter.
"Can you tell¡." Glen replied amused.
" Of course ! Father, I haven''t seen you smiling for years. Since, You returned from private mansion. You face looks like those kids who found some secret treasure¡"
"hahaaa¡.Hestia, you really are my daughter, I cant hide anything from you.."
Its been a week since Glen returned from private mansion and knowing about his first sons whereabouts his mood changed tremendously.
"Of course! I am.." replied Hestia puffing her chest forward.
Looking at her daughter expression Glen did not know whether he should laugh and smile.
"Well! You already noticed than, I can''t keep it as surprise so go call your mother and wait for me in the main hall and also take Rex and Rudeus with you..
Rex and Rudeus who were training also looked surprised at first about their fathers mood but, they waited for his father to announce. Without waiting both went with Hestia to call their mother.
Few moments later..
In the main hall, Glen was waiting for some news and was in good mood. And others were looking at this man with impatient eyes. They were none other than his family members. His wife and two kids were sitting side by side on the luxury sofa. And daughter was standing beside his father.
Then one of the guards who were placed in front the mansion gates came running towards the mansion.
"Lord Glen, someone wants to have audience with you .." The guard spoked with respect.
"Hmm¡are they twin brothers?!" Replied Glen who looked bit dissapointed.
"No, Milord. It is not the the Twins. However, Looking at his appearance, he might be some son of high noble.."
First one to react was not Glen, It was Hestia.
"Father, Don''t tell me the surprise you were talking about¡?!"
"No. Hestia, your father did not planned any meeting for your bethrol, so don''t worry."
Glen understood the reason for his daughter''s reaction, it was not so shocking for Hestia to react like this. Because, nobles make a fiance planning at the early age for their children to make a promising for more power or maintains good relations.
Immediately Glen to make change the awkward situation he order the guard.
"Go back and tell him, I''m waiting¡"
"Yes! Milord." Guard nodded and went back.
As per the order, the guard ran back towards the gate.
There were two to three guards who were placed in front of the gates. Two guards were sweating a lot in the presence of this young lord.
He was dressed in pure silver dress with boats and ring ornament on the right hand finger. It had a dragon tattoo placed on it. However, what made them felt like sweating was not his outer appearance.
The aura and pressure which was released by this young lord made them feel like inferior.
Then, soon both guards in waiting released a sigh of relief when the guard who was sent to report the lord of mansion came back with approval expression.
"Our lord is waiting for you in the main hall."
"This way.."
"Father¡" murmuring to himself he kept walking towards the mansion. This young lord was none other than TiAN DreyHeart.
