"Who told you to sleep it's still evening! wake up!"
She pulled me out of the bed,
"Sleeping in the evening will make stay awake in the night, so get up also, go take shower and then come to my office."
miss Ilin went out of my room, I went and took a shower then went to her office, the sun has already settled and it was night already,
I walked into miss Ilin office she was sitting at her desk.
"So do you know the reason I called you here?"
she looked at me,
"I don't," I answered,
"Cecelia come forward" a lady with a caretaker uniform came from behind me,
"We will now examine and decide about your condition and your room now if it is an anomaly you'll be transferred to Right Wing, the 2nd building if not you'll stay in your current room,
don't worry even if there is an anomaly we won't force you to seek treatment but we won't keep you in Left Wing, for the sake of other children I hope you understand, so shall we start?"
Miss Ilin crossed her arms,
"Please do!"
I prepared myself for whatever I have to go through now,
"Great, Cecelia begin!"
"Yes" Cecelia answered.
The lady closed up to me and put her palm on my forehead,
[I ASK GUIDANCE OF THIRD EYES TO LOOK UPON FOR WHAT I SEEK ]
[ ALL-SEER ]
And a magic circle appeared on the floor I stood upon, I felt endless light rays passing through me, and the magic circles disappeared in few minutes.
"Miss Ilin this is rather peculiar" Cecelia spoke she was so calm from the moment she came but she looked a bit troubled,
"What?"
I was looking at both of them silently.
"This child is perfectly healthy," she answered,
"How is it possible? He doesn't produce mana in his body like a 10-year-old should, on top of that so less to the point nobody can believe, and yet he is completely normal?" Miss Ilin disbelief was on her face,
"I am afraid so," Cecilia was scared,
"let me check, move back" She stood up and walked toward me, and Cecelia backed off to the wall,
"Aaris this might be a little rough on you this time, I am sorry"
"Don't worry I can manage!" I reassured her but,
[ALL-SEER]
The spell this time and the mana going through me was so dense and rapid it almost knocked me down, also A Spell without The Chant?
The only one who can pull this off is either mage of level 4 or above them, one thing I realized that day is she isn't the person I should mess with,
"Strange, how is this possible?" her surprised look wasn't new to me I have already seen many expressions as she has now,
"Aaris do you have any idea about this."
"I don't I am like this since I can remember."
"Then I don't know what to do next you neither have any curse or disease so sending you right-wing would be wrong, and...
ahhh" she scratched her head,
"very well you'll stay here and live like a normal kid if you are normal then maybe you are a late bloomer, your condition is so unique I heard something like this for the first time but don't worry we will help you to overcome and improve yourself so you better not slack off!" she seemed rather an enthusiastic that moment,
"I will do my best!" her words gave a little hope, and I promised myself to work hard,
"very well now go take dinner and then sleep, you will join your classes from tomorrow so be ready for that!" her smile felt so warm at that time.
"I went to a diner but this time 40-50 students were there already at the tables, I took a plate and filled it with supper and tried to look for an empty seat there weren't many children around my age hardly 40 but if add all of the different age also there were almost 150 children, I was walking around and I heard,
" I heard he is going to Right-wing, then he must be not normal better to maintain distance from him"
the same old story for me, I ignored them, I knew I can't run from this neither I can do anything about it, still, their discomfort towards me was reasonable, I saw an empty in the corner, then I heard,
"Aaris!, come here"
it was Folia she was sitting with a boy and girl I thought I would bother them if I went there so I ignored them,
"Kid! come here!" the boy sitting with her looked at me,
who is he calling kid? it pissed me off,
I went there and looked at Folia and the other two they looked around the same age as me, the girl sitting at her right was a bit chubby had short hair was more focused on eating, I thought she probably didn't even notice me, and the boy he looked very serious his glared at me with his brown eyes, and spoke,
"How do you know Folia?"
"I met her when I was strolling around"
I calmly answered
"we'll talk later but for now, Aaris sit down and eat with us!"
Folia pointed toward the seat beside the boy,
I didn't want to sit there but accepted her kindness,
"What's your name?" he was staring at me with a spoon full in his hands, and I thought she literally yelled my name and it echoed twice in the hall is he deaf or dumb?
"Aaris Ralkier and I am new here"
"I see, well then I am Alfred Olsen, join my team Aaris!"
"What team also I refuse!."
Folia chuckled and the girl beside her... nevermind,
"well a team for the future Magus team, don't you know about that?"
"Well, I know what Magus team is, but for the record, you have to get in the Magus academy first then after that, you have to be in the same class also to make team you also have to take account of your element and style if you overlook all this you can't make a team!" I answered and then took a bite of my bread and then I realized the room filled with silence after I spoke, and I saw all eyes on me in awe, even the girl with Dolia was staring at me through her glasses,
"How do you know about this?" Alfred looked very excited,
"my mother told me" I answered hesitantly in this awkward air,
"do know more about Magus Academy!" He was looking at me with stars in his eyes, and suddenly
"ALFRED! will you let him eat!" Folia yelled at him,
"Alright," he was down and chewing his bread again,
"Myself Yuul Saiwel, nice to meet you" the girl spoke and went back to eating,
"We ate and after that chat a bit, they told me they were surprised because they never knew about what I told them also children are supposed to leave orphanage after they turn 16 they were only given basic education about magic and other things, but not very much about Magus Academy till they are 14 and qualified to become a mage.
After chatting for a while as went to our bedroom, I was still not feeling sleepy so I started reading my mother's book,
when I was reading the book I recalled a promise I made to my mother she asked me to never let her books to read by others,
And during reading about some magic history, I fell asleep.
The next day I was taken to class there were 43 students in the class including Folia, Alfred, and Yuul, and Cecilia was our teacher. I sat with Alfred as he made it to besides Folia and Yuul, we had language, maths, Magic basics phenomena, and creatures, and history classes.
Nobody in the class interacted with us much we were pretty much isolated, me because of my condition, Folia because of her brother, Alfred was a child of a rebel, his father was executed because he refused to pay taxes, he needed money for treatment for his mother and he attacked the soldiers while they were escorting him to the prison but they killed him, and there his mother died shortly after, and Yuul because she was with us.
All of the children including them had a fair amount of mana and most of them aimed for Magus Academy in the Capital.
We studied and practice also I was practicing differently from everyone I woke up earlier than everyone, I used to train physically and in other different ways to improve myself.
Day by Day, 4 years passed
Folia brother went to Slumber because of his unknown condition and the Three of them were transferred to Mage Trainee class where they have to join a guild to gather experience and learn more about the world,
but for me, I was stuck with General students I excelled at physical strength but that wasn't enough, but Sir. Serlin visited me twice a year, on my birthday and new year's but never talked to me much he mostly came to give me clothes and to take me to my mother's grave, asked Miss Ilin to permit me to intern in the guild after a long course of me begging to her she permitted me to join the guild as a helper but not any rank above that also if I sustain any fatal injury even once she will
make quit the job and I agreed. I asked Alfred and Yuul to help but they were unable to find any guild that was willing to take me in, I asked Folia, she just joined a guild and went to 2 successful quests already, she said her guild does want a helper but she is reluctant to recommend me to them, her team was strict, she was barely keeping up with them and uneasy in her team, that was more than one reason that made me join her guild not because I wanted to become mage but I also wanted to protect her, so I pleaded to her and her team captain Kyle to take me in, I said I am willing to do anything, and hence I joined
a strong team she was in, 8th troop of the Minotaur Guild was the 7th strongest guild in the kingdom I was accepted as their helper also cleaner and errand boy time to time, Folia asked me to quit but I refused, I didn't want to give up yet.
Months went by I endured 8 quests and was preparing for the 9th one in the village Kurg, in my room and I heard a knock at the door of my room,
"Aaris you there?" it was Miss Ilin,
"Yes!" u went and opened the door,
"may I come in?"
"of course " she came inside and sat on my bed she looked at my messy bag and started to fold my remaining clothes,
"Miss Ilin you don't have to that"
"This is the least I can do for you, also Aaris" she looked very concerned at that time,
"Don't go to this quest I don't feel well about this I have a bad feeling."
"I understand your concern but I can't back down also I can't let Folia go alone"
"I will turn in your Sick leave letter, you don't have to worry about that" she looked at me,
"that would be lying, don't worry I will make sure to return well and also to keep Folia safe and we both will return as soon as possible so don't worry too much."
she looked at me gently and smiled,
"You have grown very well I will pray for you both and also keep your promise" she platter my head,
"I will!"
"very well then now finish your preparation and go to sleep "
and she walked out of my room.
The next day I took my thing and,
then I reported to the Guild.....
"E... EN... OR..... ES-"
We went to the village.....
"YE. PEN... OR. YES-"
And we went to a Ruined temple, we were attacked by a lost Soul demon, Kyle died and I was abandoned and then I used Blood Silk and Then I Died?
"OPEN YOUR EYES BRAT!!"
Suddenly I opened my eyes and found myself in a place with a cloudy sky and No earth it was like standing in a mirror I looked around there was no one besides, I was the only one there and nothing else so far my eyes can reach then who called me?
"Me!"
A man in Black Robe stood in front of me,
and I was standing in Fix,
"Who are you and where am I?"
"You are In the World between Life and Afterlife and I am..."
