Chapter 5 - A Birthday Gift

After Ace got out of the shower he did his normal daily exercise routine he found out 1 push-up is 1 and 1-mile runs are 1 expo as well so he needs to do 345 pushups and a 5mile run to level up.

'Even though u can do 5 extra push-ups and level up I wanna try and gain some stamina and increase my agility' after 2 hours Ace finished his exercise and check his status board. (this is normal in this world everyone can do it and only you can see it)

*9 YEARS LATER*

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ACE!"John and Grace shout happily "thank you, oh and by the way now that I'm 13 don't I start the Academy today?" Ace asked because he didn't know if it was as soon as he turns 13, or does he need to do something to enter.

"Yes, but we need to buy you a spot in the academy since you are from a village and not the city," Grace said replying to Aces question "is it gonna be expensive if so I don't need to go u can train and learn at home with dad."

"No worries it isn't expensive we've been saving up enough money for you to go and I and your father got you a gift," Grace said while heading to get the gift.

"Heres my gift," John said while handing Ace his gift which was a contract with a summoning circle. "What's this?" Ace has never seen anything like this before "It's a spirit contract I never got one as a kid since we didn't have enough money but since your going to the academy you need to be prepared.

"Heres my gift as well it's a magic artifact that increases the users, mind by +20" This was one of Grace's family heirlooms so she decided to pass it down to her son Ace.

"Thank you very much, both of you, but how am I supposed to use the spirit contract?" Ace asked while looking at John "first, you need to put your name in the middle of the magic circle and put a drop of blood on your name, and after that infuse mana into the circle and the spirit either demon or angel depending on the race you are born, it will reside inside of you and you can also use its power at will, but if you use it too much past your limits or your emotions are out of control it can take the mind under its control until you can regain it back again."

"So, if I wanted I can summon the spirit now?" Ace asked excitedly "Yes but you should do it later today and if you need any help ask Albert (the butler) for help."

"Well send a message and the money to the academy right now and the paper accepting you into the Academy should be back tomorrow morning," Grace said.

*NEXT DAY*

"ACE THE PAPER IS HERE!" Grace shouted to Ace who was training with John outside *SWOOSH* Ace appeared right in front of Grace "wow Ace you've gotten so much faster" Grace said surprised by Ace's speed "Yup all this training is paying off so where's the paper?" Ace searching, but couldn't locate it "on the table" Grace was confused about how Ace didn't see it "Oh haha, I guess I was in a hurry and didn't see it earlier."

'You've been accepted to enter the 'DEMON AND ANGEL ACADEMY' a carriage will be sent to you in the afternoon and it will guide you to the academy and the trip time is 2 days.'

*2 HOURS LATER*

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Ace can you open the door someones here" Grace calling Ace to open the door "Yes I will mother." Ace opened the door and was greeted by two men with suits and a carriage outside and the first thought that came into his mind was the academy.

"Hello, we're here to pick up Ace Aiken," said one of the suited men "that's me" Ace answered, "we will be bringing you to the academy so please pack up anything you need because once you're there you can only come home after the first day the rest of the nights and days will be at the academy with your dorms."

"How long will he be at the academy for?" Grace asked the two men "3 years" said the suited men who has been talking this whole time.

"Wow that's a lot of time, but Ace when you get there make sure to make a lot of friends who you can trust and be safe we'll miss you," Grace said sadly that she won't be seeing Ace for 3 years "we sure will and make sure if anyone ever tries to bully you, you act in self-defense and destroy them," John said to Ace "John don't tell him to hurt other children that isn't kind." Grace is disappointed in John for telling his son to fight others.

"It's ok I will be safe and make a lot of friends." Ace said happily and sadly since he won't be seeing them for 3 years "oh and one more thing be careful with love because it can always break your heart." John said as if he had experienced it before.

"I will but I don't think I'll fall in love at this age, haha and father I created a contract with a spirit but I didn't see anything or feel anything." Ace told John wondering if he did something wrong "that's odd, I never heard of anything like that happening, but maybe you have to wait for it to come to you." John was confused about what Ace said, this was the first time he has ever heard of anything like this happening.

"Well, father, mother I'm off to the academy ill see you one last time after the first day is over." Ace said with a few tears flowing down his face "we love you" both Grace and John told Ace "I love you both." And after that Ace entered the carriage and went off to the academy.
