Later that night...
Leo:
(That was my first ever kill in this world...Just as I thought, every realm in the universe have things like this happening. No place is ever peaceful even if the Gods are merciful)
[...although I'm quite worried about what the Goddess will think about my action. There were tons of ways I would have done in that situation to avoid deaths]
(...but based on my experience, what's evil is evil)
Andrea:
[Leo?]
Leo:
[Yes Mom?]
Andrea:
[Can you come downstairs? Me and your Father have something to talk about regarding your entry at the academy]
Leo:
(The academy? I wonder what might be wrong?)
Leo then went downstairs as he sat in front of a chair facing his parents
Leo:
(By the looks of it, they're quite worried about something)
Andrea:
[Leo, unfortunately, you can't enter the academy]
Leo:
[Well, you did say that I can't enter since I'm too young]
Reynard:
[It's something else. You see, another requirement is that you have to be at least E - rank]
Leo:
[Well, there's no problem in that. I can just raise my rank and enter the academy]
(To be able to rank up, one has to increase his overall power. By reaching the maximum level, one can go through a process called "Breakthrough" wherein the person's Rank can go up)
Andrea looked at Reynard with a worried face
Reynard:
[Leo the thing is, the academy is pretty biased since they are only accepting E - rank mages with at least 3, 000 mana]
Leo:
[Isn't that normal?]
Andrea:
[Huh? No, its not. An E - rank mage with that kind of mana is impossible. That person would have to be a prodigy]
Reynard:
[Normal E - ranks can only attain 2, 000 mana since it's their maximum capacity but in rare cases, if a child was born with more capacity, that child can attain more mana than an average one]
Andrea:
[Meaning, if that child is currently an F - rank. His stats would rival D - ranks.]
Leo:
[So you're saying that only a prodigy can enter the academy?]
Reynard:
[Well, it's not like you can't enter the academy but regarding the speed of your level, it's gonna take a while]
Leo:
(What do I do now? I can't just increase my stats since it'll bring up suspicions)
Reynard:
[Well, not to worry son since we hired a teacher for you]
Leo:
[...wait what?]
Andrea:
[Your stats will surely increase and I heard that your teacher is quite young. I'm sure you two will get along just fine]
Leo:
[Why don't you just teach me mom?]
Reynard:
[Your mom is uhm, too chaotic...all she ever know is destruction]
Suddenly an intense pressure of dark energy surrounded the room
Andrea:
[What did you say honey?]
Reynard:
[N-nothing...]
Leo:
(A teacher and a young one at that? I wonder what he does...quite interesting)
[Okay, I'll do it]
His parents both smiled at him.
A week later, as Leo was currently eating his breakfast. A knocking was heard from their door.
Andrea:
[Oh looks like your teacher is here]
Leo instantly rushed towards the door. As his mother opened it he got confused and was shocked
???:
[Greetings, my name is Reine Argon from the Dragon kin and I have been tasked to teach your son the ways of magic]
Andrea:
[Ara, I didn't expect that an ancient race of the beastmen came here to teach my son. Well, it's an honour having an important person visit our place]
Reine:
[Please, I am more honoured to be currently in the presence of one of the most powerful mages that served the country]
Andrea:
[My, you're quite good with your words. Are you sure you're really not an adult in disguise?]
Reine:
[No ma'am, I just turned 11 last month]
Suddenly, Reine looked at Leo
Reine:
[Is this perhaps my new student? Nice to meet you]
Reine smiled at Leo
Leo:
[Nice to meet you too]

Leo:
(Something is wrong)
Andrea:
[Come inside, you must be tired travelling all the way here]
Reine:
[Thank you]
A few minutes passed. Everyone was sitting while drinking cups of tea.
Andrea:
[So, miss Reine tell us more about yourself]
Reine:
[Please, no need for the formalities ma'am]
Andrea:
[Oh, then the same goes for me too]
Reynard:
[Me as well]
Reine:
[Thank you. Once again, my name is Reine Argon from the dragon kin and I came from the far east side of the country, the dragon tribe]
Leo:
(Dragon kins, they are known to be the last bloodline of the dragons. Having powerful magic and Iron skins, they are truly the strongest race in this world. But their population seems to be so low that meeting a dragon kin like this is considered to be rare)
Reine:
[I've been registered as an official instructor from the academy due to my skills and experience in magic. Because of that, I have no need to attend classes but to teach others what I know]
Reynard:
[Really shocking, A dragon kin and a prodigy at that. That easily makes you the strongest one at your age]
Reine:
[That's not true, the world is quite big and full of mysteries]
Reine then looked at Leo with a smile
Reynard:
[Hmmm, true]
Leo's parents continued to talk to their visitor. Hours passed as the sun slowly went down
Andrea
[Well, it's been a long day. So Reine, how about you sleep here tonight?]
Reine:
[I thank you for the offer but I've already booked a room for me at the city]
Andrea:
[Is that so? But it's quite late so I think you should just stay here. We have an empty room right next to Leo's room]
Reine:
[O-oh...uhm, then I'll gladly accept]
Andrea:
[Great!]
Leo:
[...]
As the time passes, Everyone started to enter their rooms. At that time, Reine was the last one to enter hers
Reine:
[Quite hospitable this family...]
As she was about to climb inside her bed, she suddenly felt a presence.
Reine:
[Who's there!?]
Reine suddenly got swiped off her feet and was pushed down on her bed. On top of her was none other than her student, Leo
Reine:
[W-what are you doing?]
Leo:
[...]
Reine:
[Let go of me, You're parents are quite c lose so a single shout from me can-]
Leo:
[Reincarnator...]
Reine:
[...W-what are you talking about?]
Leo:
[You...]
Leo moved his face closer to Reine's with a glare similar to a predator going for a kill
Leo:
[You're a reincarnator...right?]
