[In the stands inside the VIP room]
- Waaaaaaa... your brother is something else. I really like his train of thought. Are you sure he is eight, Yoann?
- Why did you bring me here first prince? I was taking a nap, man.
- What the hell, man! Are you not interested in your little brother's dorm assignment? You know how important the dorm you joined is for the event that happens during graduation, right?
- It's not that I don't care, It's just that both of my little brothers are exceptional therefore I do not worry when it comes to their abilities. Wherever they are they will always shine and Noah's light shines so brightly that it's blinding.
- The more you describe him the more I doubt his age. Are you sure he is really 8???
- Will you stop talking nonsense? Noah is really eight but because of what happened to his mother and the fact that he was always alone, that forced him to mature sooner than others.
- Oh and by te way, I'm pretty sure I told you to stop calling by my title! My name is Telnoir Fayrak but you can call me Telnoir!
- Whatever, I already told you that I'm not gonna become your right-hand man or whatever it is sooo I'm gonna take a nap.
Yoann lay down on the couch and falls asleep.
{Telnoir}
" Whenever he acts like this it really makes me wonder how the hell did a person like that become the youngest King's Sword in history."
- Aaaahh, geniuses are really annoying.
[In the stands]
I can feel the stares of everybody and the one staring the hardest is Darius.
" Maybe I should've held back a little more. Whether it was my words or my bloodlust it's not something that a kid my age would be able to do normally."
- So who is going next? Asks Darius.
Juliana walks up to Sunev.
- I want to fight against you Sunev Laos.
- Eeh!
- Will you accept my challenge?
- Eh... um... okay.
" Sunev Laos, I wasn't there during her coming of age ceremony and I pretty much concentrated on my training so I don't really know what her energy is or what her abilities are. "
- Well, I'll get to know now. I mumble.
Juliana and Sunev both head down to the arena.
- 1...2...3...GO!
The fight starts with Julianna taking the initiative.
- FIRE MAGIC! FIRE BALL!
A ball of fire rushes towards Sunev but a wall of water appears out of nowhere.
" What is going on? There was no incantation yet she definitely blocked the fire ball with a wall made of water. But how?"
- Darius.
- What is it, kid?
- What is going on? How did she do this? Can see cast magic without an Incantation?
- Why are you asking so many questions?
- Because if she can I need to ask her how is she doing it.
- Why?
- Because it would help me grow stronger and at a faster pace than I currently am.
- Why do you want to get stronger, Noah?
- That has nothing to do with you so don't ask!
- Relax kid, anyway, you won't be able to do it so you don't need to worry about it.
- What do you mean?
- Right, you weren't there! At the coming-of-age ceremony. You only came for yours so you didn't get to see the other ones.
- Get to the point.
- She is a prana user, in other words, a contract holder and it seems like she was able to make a contract with a water spirit.
- That's why she didn't need an incantation.
Contract Holders are people that use Prana. Contract Holders make contracts with beings from the Mystic Realm or in other cases are gifted powers from Angels, Demons, or Gods but right now the world doesn't believe in Gods, Demons, and Angels. They only believe in fairies that live in the Mystic Realm but they think that fairies reside in our realm but are simply invisible unless they want you to see them, in simpler terms nobody believes in the fact that there are other realms except for the churches that believe in either the divine, the heavenly or the demonic, in other words, Gods, Angels or Demons.
" Contract Holders were pretty rare in the future because the demons got rid of them since a Contract Holder with the power of a God or an Angel would be fatal to them. And most of the Contract Holders were contracted to demons. It's actually my first time seeing a Spirit Contract Holder."
Prana is consumed when summoning the spirit, and for keeping the spirit in our world. When the spirit use moves they use their own prana however the contract holder can give prana to the spirit in order to strengthen their powers. There is another way to use your Prana; Incantation. When a Contract Holder uses an Incantation they can strengthen the technique used.
A sphere of water appears next to Juliana's face and bursts Wich makes her fall when she does a few more appear but this time they are bubbles of water. All the bubbles burst at the same time but this time Juliana manages to use to Fire ball spell on her feet as a result she manages to escape the water bubbles.
{Juliana}
" This is not good! I learned and trained Fire ball! There is another spell that I know but it won't be strong enough with the mana that I currently have left plus I didn't train it enough."
- FIRE MAGIC! FIRE BALL!
The fire ball goes towards Sunev and once again she creates a water wall.
- Spirit Arts! Water control! Water Wall!
This time the wall is much thicker and much larger but the fire ball explodes before entering in contact with the wall of water and when it does it creates a smoke screen. Juliana takes the opportunity that the smoke screen created to sneak behind Sunev.
- FIRE MAGIC! FIRE BALL!
And it hits Sunev in the back which makes her fall to her knees.
- You won Juliana! I give up!
- Winner! Juliana Fayrak!
Juliana helps Sunev get up and they walk back to the stands.
- That was a good fight Juliana and Sunev.
- Was it really, Principal?
- What do you mean, Juliana?
- Isn't it obvious? Sunev was scared of hurting me so she mainly used her power defensively she attacked a few times but it felt like her attacks weren't at full power.
- You noticed, huh? I'm surprised. But you are right Sunev held back if she didn't she might have taken the win. This brings me to my next point. Sunev! What you just did was incredibly disrespectful and dangerous.
- While I did feel disrespected I wouldn't say that it was dangerous.
- No Juliana, says Lumia. Think about what Noah said earlier.
[Flashback]
- Are you crazy Fayrak? Do you think that if this was a battle to the death or if this was an enemy from another kingdom they would have held back?
[End of Flashback]
Lumia continues.
-If it was a true enemy before her, someone that wanted her dead she would have died.
- Look at what you are teaching these kids, Noah. says Darius.
" It's better that they learn it now than when the demons start invading. If they learn it at such a young age then they'll be more than ready when the demons come."
Darius continues.
- However what he said is right if it was a real fight where only one person can get out of it alive you would have died, Sunev.
- I... I understand but... I don't want to hurt anybody. she says.
" I heard that Spirits only contracted those who are pure of heart. From my perspective, it seems like they only like those that are mentally and emotionally weak. I now understand why there was no Spirit Contract Holder in the future. If they are all like her even if they are crazy strong you will definitely lose your life if you are that soft."
- This is ridiculous. I mumble.
- ARCADIOS!!!yells Gancelot. I am really tired of your crappy attitude! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A SPARING MATCH!!!
- Huh?
- Will you refuse and shame the long and proud line of Arcadios that came before you?
- Well... why not? I have to fight a total of three times anyway so I'll accept your challenge, Gancelot.
