Surprised... Confused... In disbelief, those feelings raged into one in Pino's mind, he didn't expect there would be such a story. Shut down the magic core? How can such a force do it? What way does that person get to close the hard-to-awaken magic core, so many questions float in PIno's mind.
He was transfixed when he heard Balam say. Seeing Balam with wonder, he did not know what kind of reason Balam had until he did something this big on him, closing the magic core could only be done by a middle witch, and doing so was not an easy thing. Pino wanted to ask that question, but every question in his mind stopped in the throat when he was about to speak.
"Son, you don't have to worry, what you did back then wasn't to close the whole thing, just seal your magic core, and now we're going to go to that place to unseal you. You must be confused, why would you ask him to seal or close your magic core? Don't you remember that? The thing where you evoke the core of your magic that's messing up the village? Ah... appropriate."
"If you remember, son. When you're 5 years old you've resurrected the magic core, but what you have is so great that the resurrection of your magic core destroys the surrounding area, many trees fall when the core of your magic appears... of course, it is not because of the rise of your magic core alone, but the surrounding environment is affected by your great mana."
"Where alone comes from nature... You do meditation and absorb mana from nature and turn it into your own, that's the concept of where, son. However, you've had a big one since childhood that made you famous in the village, do you really not remember that day, son?" asked Balam, trying to ascertain his concerns, even though he still assumed about Pino, let alone he had heard Pino's condition from his friend at the time.
Pino shook his head, he sat weakly, in disbelief at what he heard, "No, Dad. I don't remember anything about that... I'm trying to remember it back, but I don't remember anything about the story I told you, what really happened, Dad? Why can't I remember that village? I--I can't remember mom except anywhere, Dad."
Upon hearing the last word from Pino, Balam's feelings are like being amused and torn slowly, he does not suspect that the side effects of forced sealing of the magic core will be that great, even making Pino forget his mother's face and can only recognize it through anywhere. Balam is in a dilemma, he knows what really happened on the day of Pino's core magic awakening.
At the time, he had just finished his military training, and he was living with his wife in a modest house far from urban. They lived happily in the village, their presence like gods and goddesses revealed, they both made the village prosperous, until they gained a kid, which would later be known as Ariya Pino.
The years went quickly until Pino was five, on his birthday, Balam's old friend and comedies, named Poorstag, came to visit him. At that time Poorstag was staring into his son's eyes. As they exchanged glances, Poorstag felt there was something big about Pino.
"Balam... Your son has great power, which he has on par with a novice mage, when he hasn't trained magic. Most likely that's all that can happen, unfortunately a talent of this size usually ends badly, its great strength only raises jealousy, there will be a lot of greedy people who will use various means to take away your son's power," Poorstag said when he saw Pino reading a book.
"What do you mean? He does have a bigger mana than most people, and that's good. My wife and I agreed to take him to Morshore City to give him a proper place to learn magic. Aren't you going to live in that city too?" Ask Balam, he was curious about the intent of Poorstag's speech, he knew if Poorstag would not say a joke alone, he could feel Poorstag worries in his son.
Poorstag is not an arbitrary man, he is a intermediate magician who almost becomes an upper magician. His power and knowledge of magic is much higher than Balam and his wife, if Poorstag is worried about Pino's condition, then something is wrong. Poorstag detects a large presence on Pino, but whichever is large it will incriminate while making it easier to evoke the magic core.
magician themselves have different ratings;
Ranked 1-3 is referred to as a rookie magician
Ranked 4-6 is referred to as a intermediate magician
Ranke 7-8 is referred to as the top magician
9th place is referred to as Sage
Possessing great power until referred to as a intermediate magician, Poorstag has a different view to the power Pino possesses. Whichever is great will make it easier for anyone to learn magic, but without good control, it instead backfires which can harm the body of whichever owner is large.
Poorstag worries about it, he sees if Pino has a big mana and is very different from the magician generally, and this worries him as well as alert. He did not want the son of his compatriots to suffer, so he advised him, he knew that Pino would soon awaken his magic core, but the price to be paid was very high.
"Your son... soon he will awaken his magic core, and it is very powerful, nature mana will shudder when he awakens his magic core. You better get it ready, don't let there be anything awkward around your house, a kid like him. Being a soft target for dark witches, you know how scary they are. So prepare well... I will stay here and observe its development," said Poorstag, observing the changes in Pino's body from day to day and discovering the rapid development and almost touching the threshold of the resurrection of the magic core.
The core of magic itself is a manifestation of the power that gods give to humans to make it easier to learn magic, each human has their own magic core, some are similar to objects close to it, the embodiment of family powers such as noble families, or others. The essence of magic can be resurrected when it meets a container in the human body, it is a gate.
Each human has their own gates, but once they resurrect the magic core through the initial gate, they will find different gates to open the other gates, if in total there are 10 gates inside them. Each gate has a different level, the higher the gate you go to, the more it takes to open it.
The gates themselves are divided from;
The gate of emptiness - 0 the beginning of the magician.
Gates of life - 1
Gate Seed -2
Root gate - 3
Starting gate - 4
Growth gate -5
Gate of Maturity - 6
Final gate -7
Gates of death - 8
Gates of eternity - 9
True to Poorstag's concerns, a few days later a major event occurred when Pino evoked his magic core, which also caused his mother to experience an unexpected event.
