100 years later, a cry comes from the lower-class Denki household, a new baby has been born. An old maid presents the one behind this disruption to his mother who is regaining her breath after giving birth to this new boy. The mother started smiling and crying at the miracle before her. "Anna, congratulations on finally getting a child." Says the maid. Anna continues crying with tears of joy as she says, "Thank you". Anna had struggled to have a child her whole life and after many attempts she was finally able to have her wish granted and have a child of her own.
The old maid smiled happily at the elegant Anna and her child as they lay in the broken bed. She then asked the most important question, "What is the child's name?" Anna looked at her and thought for a moment, "Sasori… Sasori shall be his name." The old maid looked at the child and smiled, "Sasori, that is a suitable name. I am sure he will grow up to become a wonderful gentleman."
As the maid was cleaning the young infant she noticed a blue aura around the child. It then grew in size. The old maid got a fright at this development but then used a spell called soothing touch which would calm and contain the aura released by individuals with magical talent. The old maid was shocked and worried. She was shocked as anyone who used magic before the turned 10 would struggle to use magic in there latter years and were unlikely to get into an academy. The old maid informed Anna of the development but she wasn't too concerned because she didn't have the funds to send him anyway.
A few days after the birth of her child Anna was congratulated by her neighbours for her success. She then had to return to work as the maid of one of the wealthiest families in town. Anna lived on the property of the legendary Chamberlain family for whom she worked. The Lady of the house had also recently had a child, a young girl named Ezra. When Anna returned to work she was congratulated by the Lady of the house who, she in turn congratulated.
After a few months Sasori began to speak and was heard saying his first word late at night by his mother. As she walked away from him after checking he was asleep he said, "Mama!". Anna was so overwhelmed with joy at this that she almost screamed out in excitement. The next morning, she told her colleagues in the house about it, who were very happy for her. Ezra had also started saying her first words. At this point a friend of Anna gave birth to a son named Jay Graen.
Sasori and Jay became friends after meeting each other through their parents. Anna and Jay's mom used to go to school together. They both went to a non-magic school because their magic affinity was too low, however Jay's family was already a wealthy family so there were no problems for them. Anna on the other hand was from a less fortunate family so she used to struggle in her younger years. Jay's mom cared for her friend a lot, so she got her a job at the Chamberlain estate. Ever since then Anna has worked as hard as she could to repay the debt she feels she has towards her friend.
As Sasori grew up he became great friends with Jay, and they would play together everyday. Sasori would also try and get Ezra to play with them, but she always showed him the cold shoulder and would never join. This did not stop Sasori though he just kept on asking. When they had all turned 7 Ezra eventually came to play with them but would never interact with them, she would just look at the sky or at the flowers that grew on their property.
Sasori was upset at this because he wanted to be friends with Ezra. He would ask his mother why she wouldn't play with them but her answer was always the same, "Ezra is from a very noble family and has responsibilities that you don't have. She is probably trying to live up to her parents' expectations of her. You are lucky she even comes out the house for you and Jay. Don't forget she is a girl, so she might not like the games that the two of you play."
Sasori would always nod to his mom after she told him this, but he never fully understood her words as Ezra and himself lived in two different worlds. One that was fill of responsibilities and expectations and one that was a care free and full of fun and adventure. Ezra would never get dirt on herself whereas Sasori would come home covered in mud from head to toe.
At Ezra's 10th birthday there was a massive celebration as this meant that she could know go and check her magic affinity and to see if it was worth going to The Great Alcaraz's School for Magic. This was the only school for magic as it had only recently come into existence. It was discovered by the Great Alcaraz who then created a school to teach the youth of future generations how to harness and use the magic of the world. No one knew how he came across this unknown power, all the people knew was that it was a useful asset to the world.
At the end of every year, every child that had turned 10 would go and get their magic checked. If they had extremely high potential and affinity they would be welcomed into the school and would not have to pay the necessary fees that were required. If you had above average potential and affinity you would have to pay the full amount required and there was a small chance that you wouldn't be accepted.
If you had average or less than average potential and affinity, it would be very unlikely for you to join the school, even if you had all the necessary funds. However, if a child showed greater potential and affinity before there 13th birthday they could then be accepted but would struggle in school because the other students their age would be ahead.
Sasori had always dreamed of going to The Great Alcaraz's School for Magic, but his mom did not have the funds necessary to send him if he did not have an extremely high magic potential and affinity. At the end of the year before New Year's Eve, every child that had turned 10 that year gathered outside the school. There were well over 1000 children there who either had the funds or were hoping that they had the potential to join for free.
