´Reincarnation? ´ Kore thought ´I didn´t know there was something like this. ´
What surprised Kore's parents was that he was extremely curious about magic. After his mother used air magic the first time, he tried to learn it by himself. There were three problems. The first was that he couldn't speak at that time, or at least shouldn't because his parents would become suspicious if a one-year-old baby just talked to them and asked them about magic. The second one was that when he looked at his system after being born and even the years after that, his mp wouldn't go up. But on his 6th birthday, his mp increased by 5, and that gave him the ability to use magic.
The third and final problem was that his parents told him that there were many elements out there and of course, you can't know every one of them because there are so many out there, but it is most common that kids inherit one of their parents' elements. In this case, it would be either the mother, air, or the father, darkness.
It was only a theory right now, but Kore thought that his element had something to do with the Reincarnation System. No. He was sure it had something to do with it. The only thing he asked himself was if the reincarnation element was something new or not in this world.
That and more he'd find out today, because when he went downstairs, he was greeted by his family, who were wishing him a happy birthday but were also just waiting for Kore to leave. Normally people can't see what their element was, so they had to go to an evaluation place. The 6-year-old could see what elements they had there. Even adults go there because they want to check their progress in training their element.
*****
About an hour later, they arrived. It was a pretty tall building for this world, and there was a small line in front of it for the people who wanted to get evaluated. There were some kids and even adults waiting and chatting.
"Hey, have you heard?"
"What do you mean?"
"They said he would come watching the evaluations."
"Really? I should have dressed better."
Kore and his family didn´t understand the chatting. That was until they progressed far enough in the line to actually get in the building.
When Kore saw who stood at the front of the evaluation room his hair stood up. A shiver made its down his back and all over his body and he just stared blankly at the front. With a big smile on his face an old guy that was well known to Kore stood there. It was the king of this country.
"Don´t worry, Kore" His mother said to him as she saw him being scared. "That is our king. He wouldn´t hurt his own people."
Kore gulped and nodded. Of course, he wouldn´t hurt him. He now looked completely different from the time he was summoned and it´s been 6 years. Probably the king summoned a lot of other people so the chance of him remembering Kore was mostly nonexistent.
After some more waiting the family Gerus got to the front. There a woman explained to them how it would work. At that Kore saw something familiar again.
The same orb that was there when he was summoned. It seemed like the king wanted to check his abilities back then but was displeased with what came out of it, so he threw out the trash he didn't need. In this case, the trash refers to Kore, and thrown out means killed.
The woman explained that he needed to touch the orb and they, as well as the king, would see the result on a tablet of wood. The family also got a one-use tablet on which the results would be engraved once he put his hand on the orb.
"If you would please touch that orb now." The woman said.
Kore gulped and went along with what she said.
"Of course, he is going to be a darkness type like me." The father said to the mother
"Darkness? Don't you see that he loves my air magic? " The mother answered as she looked at the tablet.
Of course, whether you like the element or not didn't choose which one you would get, but having an element you really hated wasn't really good either.
When Kore touched the orb, he suddenly felt like something was being sucked out of his body and he could see it in his system.
[Mp: 4/5]
[Mp: 3/5]
[Mp: 2/5]
[Mp: 1/5]
[Your MP has reached a dangerous level]
[5% boost to all stats]
[Mp: 0/5]
[Buff depleted]
It was the first time his mp dropped, but it seemed like he'd get a buff every time his Mp dropped to a dangerous level, and it'd also end once the Mp dropped to 0.
While Kore was distracted with his system, the employees, the king, and his family were reading his evaluation.
Name: Kore Gerus
Age: 6
Element: Reincarnation
Magic Level: 1
Of course, Kore didn´t notice it because he was looking at his system, but suddenly the king stood behind him and looked down on him. The expression on his face was that of a smile, so everything was good, but as seen as the shadow of the king cast on Kore, he fell to the floor.
"Hahaha! No need to be scared, young boy! " The king said as he went down to the same height as Kore. " It seems that you have some good power in you. Do you want to go into the Magic Academy? "
Fuck off old geezer, Kore thought, but wanted to say if he wasn't drenched in sweat from contemplating his own death.
Luckily, the mother interrupted. "I think it's a bit too early to send him to the academy, Your Highness."
"Hm. I think you are right. " The king replied as his expression changed to pissed off and went back to his seat. "I was just excited to see an original like myself."
