Chapter 8
"I am too weak, I should focus of learning magic, stupid stuff like revenge can wait".
As Leo was pondering over his quest in life someone came through the teleportation it was the black cloaked man and the old man who tested him.
"Ok you brats, listen up I am wizard Osval and this is wizard Zahr our job is to get you kids safely to Garla Island from there you can join the schools you like, now wizard Zahr will explain to you the rules." the old man looked at Zahr as he finished the sentence.
"Now there are separate rules for separate organisations however some common rules among all the organisations are:
Rule 1: murder is strictly forbidden among fellow students, those who commit such crime shall be punished accordingly
Rule 2: there is no distinction between commoner, nobles or children of wizards. I don't care who you are or who your father is power is the only thing a wizard should respect not family.
Rule 3: you will have to sign a contract with the school you are joining promising them that you will not transfer meditation technique or any viable information about the school's knowledge to outsiders.
The bracelet on your hand is your identity and it will be activated once you join a school it is very helpful so keep it safe.
Now I will pass onto each of you the names of the schools and their specialities, some schools only accept students with specific qualification so read the information well" and like that hundreds of papers started floating toward all the students.
"Now we will leave for Garla Island" the old man shouted.
Then the ship started shaking some children held on to each other, the started rising. The ship was floating in the air. It was a flying ship. Many students looked at the ship with wonders Leo was among them too.
"Now all of you may do what you want but remember the rules anyone try anything funny I will feed you to the sea monsters" the black hooded man said as he glanced at the children.
Leo didn't wait any longer as he went to his room although the room was small, he had the room to himself.
The first thing he did was use the library he wanted to talk to Olaf about the element incident.
In the library Leo saw Olaf waiting for him "I know you wanted to know about the black sphere right and why I asked you to hide it.
First let's start with the basic, wizards can only use spells that they have affinity to for example you have affinity towards water and dark. Like that there are many elements like fire, wind, light, earth and there are unique elements like space, time, wood, lightning, ice etc."
"So was that black sphere a unique element" Leo asked.
"No, do you know that there are many other worlds other than ours. All these worlds have mana as well as unique energies in them and many of these worlds are connected to ours and wizards spent many years trying to make contact with these worlds for power, but very few have achieved proper results in this attempt as many of these worlds are uninhabitable for wizards and filled with dangerous monsters.
Because of the connection to our world, some of the said energy enters ours these energies are not harmful in this small quantity but some are born with affinity towards these energies this energy if cultivated properly gives the wizard power beyond normal elements but people born with these mutant elements are hunted down by crazy researchers to be used as lab rats or as catalysts for opening portals to these worlds. I know this because my master had done it. He once kidnapped a wizard apprentice with chaos energy to open a portal, although it failed the apprentice did not die a peaceful death.
So, I warn you do not to tell anyone about the mutant element if you care about your own life because wizards are beasts who will do anything for knowledge and power."
"So, what is my mutant element "Leo was curious.
"From what I see its Void element, it probably originates from the Abyssal Void Realm. I don't know much about the void realm accept its very dangerous even for a rank 5 wizard like my master"
"Void element I wonder what it can do" Leo thought
"Can I ask you a question?" Leo asked
"Yes sure"
"Who are you? You lied about being a spirit? You clearly have emotions and artificial spirits as I know do not have emotions? Are you wizard Abel?" Leo looked at Olaf with suspicious.
"Yes and No I am a spirit made according to Abel von Griffin's wishes, my job is to find an inheritor for my master. The aptitude ritual I gave you was to test whether you can kill or get your hands dirty for the sake of power and knowledge. My master left 100s of inheritance grounds around the continent if you are worthy, it is my job to lead you to them" Olaf answered looking at Leo
Leo was still not convinced he was not dumb enough to think that the Dark wizard Abel who was known for his brutal methods would simply allow him a nobody to acquire all his life's work. "What is he planning? is he planning to use me as vessel for him to come back to life? I mean this world has magic coming back from the dead wouldn't be impossible. Whatever he is planning I have to be careful it could be a trap" Leo thought to himself.
"So, what's my reward for passing your test" Leo asked Olaf.
Olaf was however amazed at how the boy could be calm at this situation.
" Yes this is your reward" Olaf took a long folded paper and gave it to Leo
"That is the map were of the Western continent where an inheritance is located, you should at least be rank 3 apprentice wizard before going there its very dangerous." Olaf said as Leo was looking at the map.
"Thank you, Olaf, "Leo gave a wry smile as he walked and took the moonlight meditation book and started reading it. Olaf went back to his chair in the corner if the library.
Leo had read the moonlight meditation technique many times during his time in the village but never practiced it fearing he would garner unwanted attention. But no, I can practise it.
The Moonlight meditation technique is better used at night and is most suitable for wizard apprentice with water element. Leo was lucky to find it.
Leo got up from his bed opened his window to let the moonlight in and started meditating by the window as per the instruction written in the book.
