"Puhuhuhu, Such an interesting ripple. I wonder what does it have to do with Sirius? I really wonder this!" A small cat-like creature is moving in full speed across the sunlight, With four tails and bright inverted color eyes. It moves at full throttle and causing Sonic Booms in range.
That cat-like creature is of-course Zenith.
Then suddenly, A wave of surging power spread throughout the continent, This outburst is of pure and powerful power from a person awakening their power, The same source as the ripple of the realm that Zenith is looking for.
"Ah, another outburst, Pure Fire Essence? Ehh! Absolute Fire Essence! So it does have trace of Sirius' Origin of Space, But it is even more fascinating. It's the purest of pure, and It's very pretty much dense! This is what I call interesting! Here we go!" Zenith bursted out of sight.
...
The last day of the Elementary Academy, though more like The beginning of the real life, It is a day where most students get their tutors and private teachers, to train and get into some kind of a prestigious high school in this continent of Arcadia, Except for Shin, Our main character.
Shin hasn't got any private teachers, like many of those with the same status as him, He instead focuses on self-learning and improvements in every ways, He's a Jack of All Trades.
Well, the last day of the academy it is, There is some interesting things happening, This school is a first rate school. A high class kind of thing. Many students can get some kind of Invitation letter to some kind of other high schools which both relevant and irrelevant.
This school is a big faculty like those of normal universities, Suitable for maximizing learning capabilities.
Though Shin is just a Commoner who was left by his parents at the age of five, He was raised by them until they said that they have been on to a mission, And will not be back to care for him, Only did that make him stronger.
How did he joined this damned high-class school? Well, He is a damned smart brat who is quiet and mischievous, He basically disguised in as an identity of a middle-class family's child, Which is from other city. He found it from a pile of dumped paperwork.
This is why you cut your paperworks to bits before trashing it into the bin, He basically got a new identity to use for the missing school's student requirements.
He then basically sign up for the school, putting all the informations from the paperwork into it. Then what is left was just the exam, In which he studied all night in the school library that he also got access to temporarily.
He passed with a Higher percent scores beating ninety five of the students which passed, Which also granted him scholarship.
Why did he got into this school though, The answer is well-being. He need foods and nourishments to survive, And to get knowledges from the faculty.
He is still using that identity, except his nickname of course. He also made sure to not use the name to gain some attention.
After some kind of a party, eating some hot pot with friends, which is all strangers in other classes jam packed together with Shin. then a motivating speech soon after, Then a ceremony of proposal letter or the invitation letter to send to the students who had great scores on the final grades.
Also some kind of honorable awards to great behaving students. Then it is all over. The 6 years of experience trying to merge into the community has come to an end. No more stress.
Shin walks down a pathway of rough stone pavements, each and every steps pass every square of the meaningfully, as he thinks about life of his in the future.
"Look who it is, It's the quiet Shin." Someone talked behind Shin.
"I have already passed into the Holy Spirit Institute, But you, Good at damn nothing." That person again, nailing into Shin's Heart.
"Levon, Go away." Shin stared at The other someone who talked behind him glaring a weak killing intent which can at most destabilize the morale of others, The history of his with Levon is kind of messed up.
Levon is a boy with short orange hair, A tall build and nourished looks, a Handsome face with sharp nose. He is those High-Class kids who already got into a good high school, by an invitation, No need for them to do the exams anymore. Basically a rich kid with wealthy family.
"Again with that glare of yours, It is not working on me, Shin." Said Levon with a smiling face.
Levon then pulled out a knife from his school belt, emitting some kind of a scary aura, ones who are a Specialist in this realm can see that he is emitting Abyss Lightning Space, A variant of rare kind.
But why the heck did a kid got a weapon into school in the first place, it's not even a school utility.
"Aura Control." Levon whispered.
His hair turned Purple, He is now lot more nimble. Thrusting straight at Shin.
"I have awakened my Variant Space three days ago, to kill you once and for all!" Levon shouted
"Kuku, You know nothing as always, Levon." Shin whispered.
"Adapted Aura Control Starter Formation: Ignition Burst" Shin whispers while smirking.
Thread of flames appeared as circular halos around his arm, increasing in size, now looking like a torus.
He bursted backwards with arms in front, Two toruses exploded and starts to reform.
"Aura Control? You awakened?" Levon said, Morale decreasing and stunned at the boy in front of him.
Aura is a form of uncontrolled input and output of Space Energy, Which leaks out the matching elements of the Specialists. When controlled however, can create some primitive skills. It's a basic skill, But with adaptations and configuration of experiments, One could have a greater effect.
Levon speed decreased as he gets near Shin, He starts to charge his Knife with Lightning space energies, Turning it purple.
"Just die you filthy low-class trash!" Levon shout out to Shin as he fully charged his knife.
At the same time, Some of Shin's Flaming Energy Essence in the shape of Torus has moved to the back of his Hand, He controlled it efficiently.
People are starting to come to see what commotion they are causing in the school grounds.
The knife then reached point blank range, Shin back-hand Flame Torus bursted out, pushing his hand to deflect the knife away, and aiming for Levon's right arm.
'He had combat knowledges? Impossible! He didn't even had a private teacher.' Levon thought in despair.
Levon arm was pushed back by the force of sorts, Blowing his body away with the arm. He then get knocked by crashing into the walls, Although the walls was only a bit cracked, His bones in his arm and the muscle now suffer from injuries.
"H-How..." Levon whispered before fading into into the pitch black of consciousness.
Shin hand Toruses dissipated in to thin air. There are a lot of dust from the fight, making visual hard to see, He then picked up the knife from then examined it. He snapped out of common sense.
Shin then proceeds to realize what he had done and tries to run away, But his leg won't budge because of his guilt holding him in place. He had never done this, to anyone, and he knew that he needs to fix this.
Zenith has been watching him all along from the very start, As he didn't dare to interfere and interrupt this epic battle of two... kids.
Zenith is now his original human form, He is a Blonde-Haired Handsome looking man with a short height and balanced shape, A small nimble dude.
'A child which is suffering from guilt and regrets, He is bound by that chain and must overcome and destroy it, I must help first.'
Now that Shin is suffering from guilt, He didn't wait for the dust to dissipate like it was those toruses, And decided to pick Shin off the ground.
"What is happening!? AHH!!!" Shin shouted as He didn't know Zenith was picking him up.
"Shut the damn up Shin!" Zenith said.
"Who? You know my name?" Shin asks the voice from above, As he was hanging from Zenith's Hand.
"I know you really well, I will bring you to your house first, Then we can talk." Zenith told Shin.
Shin sighed as he floats, He didn't have anything more than death by Levon's family. But the great thing is, They didn't know his house location, So this man is actually helping him survive the consequences.
Shin didn't question any more, His life was all messed up all over, In every aspects, No high school would take him If they know his real identities, Means no more great well-being.

At Shin's House
"So you just read this Encyclopedia you got from your father and learned to control your Aura?" Said Zenith, Now more calm than in the cat form.
Shin didn't budge, He just admitted it.
"Alright, Holy Gracious, Is it the Encyclopedia of Apollo written in the Stanceform Type Language that exist in the Skytether Realm but it's here?" Zenith muttered.
"Ok, Shin. Novalight Infernos, You are the successor to my friend, your father, Sirius. He is really gone to a mission, A quest, The thousand-years contract quest." Zenith said in honesty, Seeing that there are no repercussions in telling him this. Except if he is a big talker.
'What? He is alive after all? I thought he was long dead leaving a child for seven years. He thinked REALLY DAMNED WELL, even leaving me with some common knowledges and of course, the magic Encyclopedia that contained every knowledges inside. At least care for your offspring!' Shin thinks enraged at his father.
"First you must stop using your Fire in full purity, It creates a wave of energies with the same frequency as the neutral energies, resonating it around the Realms, Creating Ripple of the Realms, alerting the masters. I will give you a technique to impure the fire on purpose tomorrow."
"And let me teach you the concept of Realm first, as it is important for you to digest the information."
"As I have researched this Realm that Is own by the God that was named Prometheus, He had already forgotten about the Realm and Apollo seized control to research the Realm in extent. It is a forgotten realm that is the start of humankind, Other races do exist here from Realm crossing, but Humans originated here, The realm is called Arcane Spatial Realm."
"This Realm is a stronghold to humankind, But it is too weak, We must migrate humanity, or Strengthen it, though the easier ones would be Migrating it."
"There are Six main realms in this universe created by Masters and Deities, This Realm is subsidiary Realm, as it was not in the main sight, If we count all of it that are accessible Realms, there would be fourteen Realms."
"The six realms are a lot to explain, but the ones we need to know now is The Universal Pass Realm, or called, The Skytether Realm, The most advanced realm with latest technologies better than this whole Realm, Where there are every race co-existing in cities, and also you must enter this Realm by a platform. Which are either in deep dangerous forest, Or in hold of a mighty organization."
Shin breaks out cold sweat, Just because the thought of finding those Realm Platforms are kind of unheard of in this world.
"But don't worry, There are three easily accessible Realm Platforms in this Realm."
"Specialists Council have one, But the age requirements are too high, There is another one at the Celestial Aetheria, A big island floating on mid air, But there are too many Masters there, And will totally know your Pure Fire Aura if you were to walk along them with low level of ranks. So the last one is at... The Holy Spirit Institute. You will need to go to the same school as Levon."
"But if you got a Invisibility element spell then you can pass all of that easily, But those are for the high ranked. Or even create one yourself, But your Space is not suitable for even that, You must find some Space Stones that are of the Spatial Types, Which doesn't naturally exist."
Shin sweated buckets by now.
"Don't be worried, Just train your Space until you are able to make your body parts changes color, And Exercise alot to change your shape, And the Holy Spirit Institute, Don't underestimate them, I've researched and found that they are very wise in terms of data mining. So that means that you have no need to change your identity anymore. The certification of the School you just graduated from are still working."
"Oh, and your Element of Absolute Fire will be called Concentrate in Skytether, Find out why it's called that on your own.
"Alright, Process those knowledge first, Training will be for tomorrow, Go Take a shower and do some of everything you want." Zenith finished talking.
Shin was blurry enough to be quiet and said nothing, He was stunned.

Shin's Backyard, Morning
"I will give you a one of a kind cultivating technique that seems to be the most useful for Pure elements. The Heavenly Hyperlinear Technique."
"Now it's hard to cultivate this technique, But your element is so pure that you can grasp fluent control in one more element of pure." Zenith said
After that Zenith fabricated something out of mid air, It's a book.
"I need to cultivate this? Oh wait, This is the language of the Encyclopedia!" Shin exclaimed.
"It's written in Stanceform Type Language, It's from the Skytether Realm, from Starancia. An easily handled language that when mastered give you the advantage of complex understandment under simple texts. It became the universal language, Except here of course. I guess your father teached you it before going on to the quest." Zenith explained.
"Now you just need to cultivate, Your father researched these methods because he is a Near Absolute Fire user, Different from your Absolute Fire that caused troubles for me. He put some post-it short notes inside, it will help." Zenith explained.
"Alright, Thanks to Zenith, I will start now." Shin closed the book and get into a stance. He starts to regulate his breathing, making it faster in pace.
He is going to increase metabolism rate in his body, Working more efficiently at the cost of more nutrients needed, Zenith see this fast engagement could only watched in awe, could this kid be mediating so fast?
'I need to buy or hunt or forage some food for him, I hope he can hold it with empty stomach for a while.' Zenith thinked.
Shin does as the notes said, he didn't question anything and this is gonna bring some problems to him.
Cultivating with this technique is all about manipulating science to achieve the impossible. Shin starts to focus at his own mind, Increasing mental capabilities swiftly as he release energy, Helping in burning excess fat.
As he is a Pure Space user, He can absorb the Origin energy semi-directly, Others cannot achieve this easily, They can absorb too, At a slower rate and at risk of mutating their Spaces. Which is a two edged sword.
You can mutate really bad. Sirius experienced this with the technique and it crippled his Space for a while, But he was the lucky ones to mutate a good space.
But the case with Shin, He is a Pure Space user, He have lower chances of mutation, But no risks of bad mutation, And grasping two complimentary elements was his choices, But wait, Zenith forgot to tell him about elements that compliments with His Absolute Fire! No notes in the books told him about this too.
As Shin was grasping the powers of Origin around him, It attracted many free elements of other sorts, Circled around him and all sorts of feelings radiates from it, Shin manipulated those feeling to make it the according colors.
Ambient Red Origin seeps through his Space, Which consists of Space Form and Space Energy, It increased the size of the sphere in his Space Form, Creating a shape of Sphere encased in a translucent Sphere, Like a planet with atmosphere.
The Origin Energy then embedded it with a reddish color, Increasing in viscosity. The energy around him then shows it color in more vibrant tone, A sign of energy exciting. For him to choose his second Element, This process happens.
There are all elements you can think, And many being exotic rare, But it is in front of him, The Encyclopedia said that there are many exotic elements that are out of this world, Like Origin of Passing, A form of time, It's compelling, But not his first choice.
Then the Origin of Dissipate, A form of the opposite of Concentrate, In simpler form, You can form ice. Ice element are based off Dissipate. If he grasped this Element, Then he would be good at controlling Temperature.
Then the Origin of Matter, A form of atomic particle, It requires loads of proficiency to use, But will be hard to grasp.
Then Origin of Charge, A form of Electricity, Have great compatibility with Concentrate, Can create endless possibilities.
There are many more Origin waiting for him to choose in his Space Form, Swirling at all times.
His Space Eyes landed on some Origin, A white kind of form, There are two white Origin Energies, Which confused him, One with a lower shade is Light, But there is one with a More Vibrant Shade.
It is the rarest form of Origin, Hardest to be detected, And the weakest off all, The Origin of Reaction. It was still unknown in this time. It's a mystery. Nobody knows how it works or what is it. Not even Shin.
But it seems to be the most Vibrant of them all, Shaking and Spinning Violently. Shin doesn't know this Origin too, But He can't refuse this Energy. It gave a neutral but chaos feeling, He decided, and chose the Element.
The grassland in the backyard around him starts to reform, writing some inscriptions on the patch of grass, Shining blinding flash of light.
Shin is lost in his consciousness.
