Chereads / The First Mage / Chapter 28 - Chapter 28

Chapter 28 - Chapter 28

Takao entered a certain house. That house is something he made and doesn't belong to the village.

"Hey. Why is she crying?"

"She learned that her friends are killed."

"So you told her. Master. You two. What are you doing here?"

"Ah... Nothing. Master."

"Um... Nothing. Takao."

"Fine. Stay here."

"Yes!"

"Okay."

"Takao. Right?"

"Yes? Mentor?"

"Please let them go now."

"Fine."

The metal that strapped them to the wall had disappeared into nothingness.

"Mentor. Atrox had joined me. These two doesn't yet."

"I see. Then. You two. I am old and doesn't have a family. Same as Atrox. But you two had. Will you join?"

"We could. But we fear that our family will be killed once they had known that we betrayed. You know the punishment for treason right?"

"Yes. Then. Takao-san. How will you solve that?"

"Your whole camp has been killed. They would think you four has been killed too right?"

"Yes. Then?"

"Then. I will demand your family to your kingdom. I will tell them that I wanted to kill your whole family. And if they don't I will declare war with them. Once your families are here. Then it will be solved isn't it?"

"That could work. How about it? Presny? Raske?"

"And what will you tell them. What reason for demanding them out family?"

"I will just say that I hated you all and wanted your family to die too."

"Hate?"

"But they had witnessed my power now. Don't you think they would not give them?"

"Fine. I will join. Presny. Come on. Join too."

"O, okay. Raske."

"Then. It is settled. Here."

"What is this feeling?"

"Master! What is happening?"

"I am giving you all my magic."

"What?"

"I am giving you magic. At the very day, I had been here. I had done many experiments with my magic. After then. I have known everything I could do with my magic. I could give it to the other people without weakening myself. Also. I could take it back at will. But even if I took it back. It won't make me stronger. I gave six of you the have of my power. I had something to calculate my power."

"What is it?"

"When I tried it. It showed me three million points. Now that I gave you six have of it. You now have one and a half million. This is it."

"A metal slate?"

"Just put magic on it."

"How?"

"Just concentrate. Think about what you wanted to do."

"Also. Gave you all specific magic except the Mentor."

"Stop calling me mentor. It is Agu."

"Sorry."

"Whoa! There is water!"

"Yes. Let me explain. I gave Atrox fire to make his swings explosive. I gave Presny the air for her arrows. To guide it. I gave Raske the earth to give the best defence. Water for Mello for the flow of movement. And lightning to Martin. For his speed thrusts and movement."

"Me?"

"Ah... Sorry, Mr Agu. This is my experiment. I wanted to know what you would be able to use."

"I see. This old man could only be a guinea pig. Right?"

"No. It's not like that. Also. All of you could heal. I gave that too. You too. Mr Agu."

"Oh... I could relieve the pain now with this."

"Yes."

"Yeah. Being an old man really sucks I hate being one."

"Haha. Come on. Ms Presny. I killed your friends. I am sorry. But I promise. None of your friends will die now."

There is then an explosion.

"What is that?"

"Ah! Sorry, Takao! I couldn't control the lightning."

"You all just need practice."

"Takao-kun?"

"Yes? Mr Agu?"

"I seem to be able to boost my strength."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Wait. I think... Oh. I could absorb it."

"What?"

"I could use your thing too."

"Really?"

"Yes. Then. I will leave. I hope you all could just practice using your powers out there. I hope you won't hurt anyone."

"Yeah! Let's go!"

"I told you all. I could take it back. If you were to betray me. I could take it back wherever you are."

"Then. Thank you."

"Please. Keep your promise. Takao."

"Yes. Atrox. Please wait. I will deliver them to you."

"Where are you going now? Takao?"

"Oh. I will go and give everyone magic. Martin."

"Seriously? What if there would be a bad thing to happen?"

"I am impatient. So I would do it today. Don't worry. Only everyone in the marv village will have it."

"Oh. Then good luck."

Takao then left through the door.

"Let's go, everyone! Let's try our powers!"

"Oy. Mello."

"Woo! Water!"

"Everyone."

"Yes? Mentor?"

"I will train you all. This old man seems to be able to move more now. Raske. You all. Get ready."

"Yes."

"Um... Mentor? Could you teach me in hand to hand combat?"

"Don't worry. I could use any weapon. I could create a style in just a matter of minutes. I won't be called the "Genius of Arwana" after all"

"Yes!"

"Mentor. How about there. At that mountain?"

"Sure, Atrox."

Meanwhile. At the center of the village.

"Everyone! Anyone at the age of sixteen above. Get here!"

"Hey. Why would Takao-san wanted everyone in the middle of the village?"

"I think he would tell us something. Let's just go."

"Yeah, you're right."

After a while. Over 60 people had been there.

"Everyone! I will tell you this. group yourselves into families! No need to ask. Please just do it. Those who are married into a different family. Go there please."

Everybody then joined into families.

"The biggest family. Step forward."

It compromises of 20 people.

"Tell me. Who is the elder? Who will be the head of this family?"

"Me."

"Then. I will grant you the power of magic."

"Whoa. What is strange feeling?"

"Think. What do you want to do? That is how you will control that power."

A large shadow has then been cast. Takao just gave him four hundred thousand magic.

Shadow magic? Then I will absorb it.

"Do you have a wife?"

"Yes! Dear. Come here."

"Then. For you. Now. Use it."

A ball of light has appeared on her hand.

"What?"

"Then. It is settled. Every man will have the same ability as your elder. All woman will have the same ability as his wife. Is that fine?"

"Yes!"

"Then. Here."

Everybody from that group has received their respective abilities.

"Do you want a last name?"

"Yes!"

"Then it is for you to decide now. Whatever that last name will be."

"Yes! Then. I wanted us to be called. Dark seraph!"

"Accepted. I will now proceed until everybody is given magic. I trust you all that nobody would betray me."

"No! All of us are under you! Your majesty!"

"I will say this. In our magedom. Magic is a sign of nobility."

"Yes!"

And it proceeds until the very last group. Which only a single person is in it.

The family heads are given four hundred thousand points. And those who are just members are given one hundred thousand. It will change since magic actually grows based on how they train on using it. Based on Takao.
