Book 1 Chapter 14. - Awakening of the Elements! September 11, 1989: Hadrian arrived home in a good mood and was not spoiled by Vernon, with whom he met on the driveway to the house. The good mood lasted until he came to his room and calmly began to look at his list of skills, especially Isshin-ryu karate, where he was going to advance to the level of the expert when he had an advanced level. The problem was that the level of the expert was still inaccessible to him. Isshin-ryu Karate - Skill - Type: Active / Passive Level: Advanced Level: 30 (Max) Passive Bonus: +4 to STR and DEX (total). Info: Isshin-ryu Karate is a martial art designed mainly for self-defense, but it is not good to underestimate anyone who master any martial arts. Every martial art allows one to use his body as a weapon. Info 2: To raise the level to an expert, you need to own a green belt awarded by the official karate master and the Isshin-ryu karate expert book for experts. Warning: You only got the blue strap today. You can take the green tape exams in a year! You're kidding me, aren't you? Do I have to wait all year before I can get another tape just to raise the level one of my skills? Hadrian did not believe his own eyes and wondered why it was. Finally, he came up with the theory that this was a way to adequately reduce its growth so that it wasn't too strong and would not attract more attention than it would be healthy. He also immediately understood that he would certainly encounter similar limits more often and would not be surprised that one day he would come across a limit limiting his overall level. At that moment he had no idea how close he was to the truth. OOOOOOOOO 12. 9. 1989: Tuesday's lessons ran away like water and after lunch immediately headed to the doja. Its previous schedule has been temporarily modified to be fully prepared for the test to obtain a blue tape. Now that he has won it, his schedule has to be adjusted again to gain more time for other disciplines. "Hadriane-kun, welcome. Master Kurokyuu is waiting for you in his office with a new schedule, "Master Akira welcomed him." Good afternoon, Master Akiro. I will visit him immediately, "Hadrian said, removing the announcement that he had won another level to Japanese. "Hadriane-kun, come sit up," Master Kurokyua asked him as soon as Hadrian appeared in the sliding door. "Master Kurokyu," Hadrian bowed before he sat down where he showed him. "I have a few things I want to discuss with you. The first is your new schedule. I suppose now that you are after rehearsals, you will want to focus again on all the disciplines you are studying with us, "Takumi assured, and Hadrian nodded in agreement, then taking over a new schedule. Karate remained only on Monday afternoon, Tuesday with sword art, Wednesday archery, Thursday That Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday belonged to Master Takeshi and Friday to Master Feng, with whom he still had a meditation lesson that day. Saturday with Sunday was completely free, which only suited him." Thank you, "he thanked. "You're welcome, Hadriane-kun. As also promised by the winner of yesterday's tournament, you will pay more tuition for studying in our doj in less than seven months. But now I have an important question. Yesterday you showed superhuman reactions in some matches and it seemed as if you knew exactly how your rivals would react before they knew it, "Takumi said, and Hadrian knew he could expect this." A special form of meditation allows me to predict what is happening in my neighborhood, "He was able to predict. "Hmm, I personally have not met this form of prediction, but I know several ways in which some are able to achieve this. Using this advantage is not very fair against ordinary students and rivals, but I cannot forbid you or criticize you using your abilities. We all have some talents and gifts and they make us unique. There will always be someone stronger, just as there will always be an obstacle you will have to overcome, "Master Kurokyuu told him, and Hadrian was quite surprised because he expected to be rebuked by battle meditation" You don't have to look too surprised, "Takumi laughed before he continued. "Akira-chan told me that the Wakizashi we gave you broke on your visit to a new dimension in the Kvikálkovský forest. Hadrian sincerely did not want to reveal that he had access to the inventory, but he also did not want to delay unnecessarily, so from the perspective of Master Kurokyuu materialized both halves of the broken wakizashi purely from the air. "Pocket dimensions, very simple answer to some questions." Master Kurokyuu said immediately and took over the broken sword. He carefully looked at him millimeter by millimeter, so that he wouldn't miss anything and even nodded several times, but he hadn't spoken a word all along. Finally, he put both halves of the sword on the edge of his desk. "Every object has its own life. This can be extended by maintenance and then with additional care, but nothing is eternal. The quality of this sword was not too great and was intended mainly for training, not for the current fight with monsters. According to the aura I feel around this sword, you have traveled several hundred enemies with him, "he said, and Hadrian nodded that he understood and was aware of everything he had just said." I could give you a few other swords of similar quality, but in the end it wouldn't solve anything in their collections for your swords. The question is whether you are able to pay the required amount, which can range from a few hundred to tens of thousands of pounds, "said Master Kurokyuu, and Hadrian frowned slightly, because he had no more than almost everyone at his age. But he had two more currencies in the inventory, he didn't even have to look at one of them, he didn't know how strong the currency was Abyss dollars, but he doubted that their small number would help him in any way. Instead, he put one gold coin on the table in front of his master. "I don't know the value of these coins, or the place where I can use them, but I don't have a small amount," Hadrian said. "The Golden Galeon, the currency of the wizarding company in countries where the banking system is controlled by the Goblin Nation. One coin is worth five pounds. Kurokyuu and Hadrian blinked in surprise. "Is there an option where I can exchange these galleons for pounds? I really don't have a few, "Hadrian wondered, because he had just over a hundred thousand pounds in gold, and it was a damn big amount he couldn't even imagine." No need, Hadriane-kun. It narrows my selection of friends, but I have those who accept any currency in Bristol, coincidentally. Contact him and if you agree, make an appointment for us on Saturday or Sunday, depending on how time he has, "Master Kurokyuu offered him and Hadrian nodded. "Thank you very much, Master Kurokyu," Hadrian thanked him. "You can go, Ichigo-kun is certainly waiting for you," Takumi sent him away from his office and after Hadrian left, he looked again at the broken Wakizash before shooking his head and returning to paperwork. OOOOOOOOO 16. 9. 1989: Saturday came very fast and Hadrian was headed for the doja, where Master Kurokyuu was waiting for him to set out on a few hours' trip to Bristol. From Tuesday afternoon, Master Kurokyuu called several of his contacts, and Saturday's day was only the only one he mentioned in their interview. Hadrian couldn't wait sincerely and hoped to find a good weapon for his current needs. Without the sword, he did not dare to enter the Wolf Forest, and therefore in the last few days he did not get any expos to overcome the last piece that separated him from the 16th level. Although he did not get another level, in the afternoon training and visiting the rings he gained at least some levels to several skills and professions. "Good morning, Hadriane-kun," greeted Master Kurokyu, who was waiting for him in front of the Doja gate, where the dark blue Honda Civic sedan was ready. He also immediately noticed that there were several books in his native language, but also in Japanese and Mandarin, although he knew both languages only because they were transcribed from the original characters into the Latin alphabet. "The journey will not be short, so I have prepared a few books to read. I believe that their topics will interest you, "the Master explained after sitting behind the wheel of the car." Thank you, "he thanked, and first he took the book in his native language. He quickly found that although there were more books, three books were always the same, only written in another language. He understood what was a master's endeavor, so he read the book he understood most before embarking on the Japanese version. You have successfully read and understood a book in a foreign language! Rating: Basic level! You get +1 level to Japanese! What is that? He thought in surprise as he finished the book with stories about the Japanese gods. This has never happened to me before. But it is true that I have not read anything in a foreign language yet. But I am glad that this option exists, then I have a chance to get levels for my languages and the profession of linguists without having to attend lessons or special lessons. All I need is a dictionary, a few children's books, and with a little time I will be able to learn a huge number of languages. He wondered what this new discovery might mean to him. To test the scope of this discovery, he read the same book again, but a second time he didn't get another level to Japanese. Instead, he took the same book, but in Mandarin, and started reading it just to receive a new announcement after an hour. You have successfully read and understood a book in a foreign language! Rating: Basic level! You get +1 level to Mandarin! Super. So repeated reading won't give me anything, but when I read the same title in another language, I still get a level to that language. The translations are different, but as a basic template to understand or find words and phrases it is perfect. I also assume that more complex topics will have an impact on the evaluation and hence on the resulting reward. But I will be able to check this when we get back to Kvikálkov and I will be able to visit the school or city library. Hadrian planned, and without a word he began to read all the other books that Master Kurokyua had prepared for him. On the way to their goal, Hadrian managed to read only one other book and its two other forms. It wasn't that it was more complicated, just more comprehensive, and at first reading he didn't understand the entire content, so he didn't receive any new level. Only after he asked Master Kurokyu for several expressions and sentences did he receive a notice that he had successfully read and understood the book in a foreign language. "We are on the spot," the master told him, and Hadrian put down the third book he couldn't even open. Hadrian looked out the window at the door and saw that Master Kurokyuu had parked on a less busy street. He sometimes looked out the window to see Bristol, he said. "And Hadrian quickly stepped out of the car, followed by the store door, over which was the inscription Antique Weapons and Armor of the World. Without a word, he followed him inside a shop that was not small at all and could see, there he could see full shelves and racks of various weapons, but also armor, helmets and many other accessories that the ancient warriors used in combat. "After so many years, the Black Dragon spoke and showed in person. I thought I would never see you again or hear about you, especially after you broke up with your godfather, "said a strong looking man in a language Hadrian didn't understand. Hadrian used one of his skills in trying to find out more about that man, but was very disappointed: Bai Yu Age:? - Level 3: HP:? Qi:? Info: Bai Yu is the owner of the antique weapons shop and the armor of the world. He also has a hidden identity. Nothing more I can find out? Hadrian wondered before the Master Kurokyuu focused on Bai Yu. And from your position you can clearly see that you are training martial arts and you are not alien or many weapons. Hmm, your aura is very interesting and not so long ago one of your weapons has planted its final attack," Bai Yu said. "Hadrian is a student of my latest doja. His talent is very diverse and is following a path that requires certain instruments and I don't mean these cheap dummies around us, "Takumi intervened and Bai Yu measured him with his gaze." Still the same Takumi, always when he needs something. How long will you be controlled by your godfather? " He stumbled Bai Yu to Master Kurokyuua, and Hadrian did not know whether to put in or do it, that it was absolutely not affected and the truth was that it did not even concern. "That's why we're not here now. Takumi asked, refusing to talk about anything personal. "What do you think. I'll show your student your collection, but you stay here and watch the business," Bai Yu decided to show Hadrian to follow him. Hadrian looked up at his master and the adult escort on their trip to make sure he could follow that unknown man or not. "Bai Yu is a trustworthy man and you don't have to worry about him," he assured him, and Hadrian went to the store owner. "If you want to practice martial arts and master any weapon, you'll have to learn to make decisions for yourself, because your enemies don't give you time to ask someone around you." "I understand and thank you," Hadrian said, bowing slightly to make it clear that these are not just empty words. "You'll see. You should know that if you didn't bring you here, I would never show you my real assortment of weapons and armor for sale." Bai Yu said. Bai Yu has allowed you access to a special dimension! Do you wish to enter it? Yes - no yes. He confirmed Hadrian right away and appeared in a whole new environment with a single step. He had a wooden door frame behind him, behind which the staircase led up, but clearly saw the boundary of the dimension he was currently in. Hmm, so dungeons are special dimensions with monsters for the purposes of my gift The Gamera. Other dimensions need not only serve as dungeons, but also as special places for storing things. Something like my inventory, but in real form instead of the virtual one. He thought, but he had no more space to think, because he was captivated by the sight of the huge hall with high doors on the sides that led to other rooms. "Interesting. You are astonished by what you see, but you are not surprised by the existence of other dimensions. But your secrets are your own, despite the fact that you wanted to get it, "Bai Yu said, and Hadrian smiled apologetically at him." But now to trade. What are you going to pay and what are you looking for? " Bai Yu asked, and Hadrian had a few gold coins materialized from his inventory. "Master Kurokyuu said that I can pay galleons with you and I am looking for a one-handed sword with a sufficiently long life," Hadrian replied, and Bai Yu inspected the gold coin. "Gold is definitely real. If you only want a sword, it will only be a sword." He led Hadrian to a high pass to the section that belonged to one-handed swords. "Take the time to choose. Whether it takes you a minute or maybe a week, there will be no more than one hour outside this dimension, or a minute more or less, "Bai Yu told him, and Hadrian had no idea how long he had been looking at him and not even being interrupted by the announcement. The fact that his observation skills have gained the next level by frequent use, more precisely the fifty-fourth. He has not gained a level for this skill for some time, and the higher the level she had, the harder the next level was." Still nothing? Where to stop at five Gilgamesh's swords, regardless Yu and was surprised when Hadrian did not decide for a sword of legendary origin. "All the swords here are something special, but none of them seem to be the one I could really rely on," Hadrian replied, not knowing if he would find such a sword at all. To save time, he decided to make the actions of others, but rather himself, and rather after a while. He could see him rejecting the piles of other swords before he finally stopped at one of them, and when his projection touched the sword, the whole vision disappeared and at the same time deactivated battle meditation. Hadrian knew that whatever the sword was, he was the one he chose in his prediction. "Takumi was right, your talent is really diverse. I also wouldn't expect that you have passed a simple test of all the swords I have here. All the weapons in my collection are somehow their masters. You have to spill some of your blood on the sword, and if your name appears on his blade, you are worthy of being its new owner, "Bai Yu gave him the necessary instructions, and Hadrian did not hesitate for a single moment. As soon as the dark red to black sword cut into his left hand, his blood spilled into the blade. His full name appeared. Hadrian James R. H. Potter-B." Why is my name longer and I see only the capital letters instead of the full name? " Hadrian didn't understand. "Because you know only part of your real name. Magic is really a magical thing and knows more about us than we do. When the right moment comes, you will reveal your full name. Now you have your sword, can we go back or will you wish for another weapon? By the way, this will cost you only a hundred gold coins, "Bai Yu replied, and Hadrian gave him the necessary number of galleons while viewing the details of his new sword.

He was once a very powerful weapon, but the glory of its original owner has passed a lot of time and the powerful weapon has become an ordinary sword over time, even after losing its power to keep one last ability that allows him to recover what was lost. Poorly, but I believe that once I feed this weapon with other weapons, not only will it increase its rarity, but all other states. Hadrian thought, and was satisfied with his new weapon, especially after it cost him so little. "So I think, don't you have a magic battle stick?" Hadrian asked, and Bai Yu laughed at his question in amusement. "Let me guess. So he told you there are magic battle sticks that will allow you to combine the strength of your body and magic, huh?" He wondered Bai Yu in amused before shook his head. "Battle sticks of mages contain their essence and each of them was created by their owners. When such a mage dies, his weapon dies with him, so there is no single weapon you could buy. If you are lucky in your life, you may find someone to show you how to make such a magical battle stick, but this secret is very well guarded. Instead, I can offer you a battle sticks with special abilities, "he explained the reason for his amusement and led him from the one-sided sword section to a section full of sticks of all kinds and sizes. Hadrian repeated his already successful trick in a minute and held a black stick with gold ends and silver motifs on his whitish cloud." A replica of the legendary weapon of Sun Wukong himself, the monkey king. I have seen many replicas and a few of them, but this replica of the legendary Ruyi Jing Bang is one of the most successful. I'm afraid the price of this battle stick is all fifteen thousand gold coins and still has to accept you as its owner, "Fifteen thousand galleons meant seventy-five thousand pounds, and that was not at all. "I have gold, I just hope this stick will accept me as its new owner," Hadrian replied, rubbing part of his stick with his blood. Like his new sword, the cane absorbed his blood. His name did not appear anywhere on Wukong's stick, but the whole cane seemed to light with a magical aura that was filled with positive acceptance. Your choices were hitting the black, "Bai Yu said amused, and Hadrian had a larger pile of gold materialized on the ground. He wanted to apologize to the merchant right away for not having a better way to give it to him, but he soon stopped, because Bai Yu just waved his hand and all the gold disappeared again. "Don't think you're the only one who has its own pocket dimension for transporting things. Bai Yu asked, and Hadrian just shook his head. As he followed the owner of a huge dimension with countless weapons back to the store, he looked at his new battle stick. Though he was pleased again, he was a little grim that he would have to wait a while before he could use it because he didn't meet one of his demands. Use.

Also, it is not possible for someone to use it to attack you or your allies. Achieving an advanced level for the art of battle sticks might not take me so long, especially if I agree with Master Akira if I could start studying a kata with a stick in Isshin-ryu karate. I just hope it will have some effect and if not, nothing happens and later I will learn to control Sai, everything in karate training. He thought, and still checked the contents of the inventory to make sure he had enough common weapons to feed his new sword. "Hadriane-kun, do you have everything you were looking for?" Master Kurokyu asked him as soon as they returned from a special dimension. "Yes, I have everything I might need," Hadrian said, turning to Bai Yue to thank him again when the man handed him his business card. "If you need any more pieces from my collection in the future, just speak," Bai Yu said, and waved them out of his store. After seeing the glass, they both got in the car and drove off the street where his shop was, he headed for the door. Qin Feng would want to know about it. What is happening to his godson. Even his young apprentice is worth some attention, especially when he chose the sword of all possible. He thought Bai Yu and headed for his study where he had a special communication artifact. OOOOOOOO 17. 9. 1989: Fortunately, he had a few free hours even on Saturday evening, which he devoted to meditation, in which he again a little forward. Just like during the tournament to get a blue tape, yesterday evening devoted himself to strengthening the network of magical ways in his body. When he finished building the net throughout his body, he focused on the streams of magic coming out of its core. One such current around him powered a field, and although he had no idea what it was for, he sensed that he was hiding it from the attention of a specific group, he just had no idea if it was a group of people or other creatures. The second stream was much stronger and connected it to the red barrier around their house. This barrier was subsequently connected with his scar on his forehead, where its much weaker appearance was surrounding a kind of darkness. The barrier was also associated with his aunt Petunia, and finally the third connection of this barrier disappeared somewhere in the distance, and if his knowledge of geography and cardinal points did not lie, this connection was heading north. In the same direction, there was another connection from which he sensed a foreign perspective, although it wasn't as if someone was looking at him directly, but only monitoring his condition? Finally, the last connection leading to its magical core was with that darkness where its lightning scar was located. What are you up to? Hadrian asked himself, and every time he approached the darkness, the memory of the cold laughter, begging the woman, and the poisonous green light floated to the surface. If everything Aunt Petunia told me is true, Dumbledore is responsible for most of these connections. The red barrier around our house requires not only magic but also blood, and it comes from the unborn children of Aunt Petunia. If Dumbledore is responsible for this, one day he will pay for it with his own blood. Hadrian thought, and although he wanted to do something about the presence of these connections, he preferred not to do anything. To divert his mind from these thoughts, he concentrated throughout Sunday on painting his paintings, and most importantly, completing a series of twelve paintings. When he was with the paintings, mid-September was behind him and Daniel Mooren should have his picture frame order ready. The last two paintings will be the hardest to express the concepts I want to depict. Hadrian thought, heading for his smaller bookshelf, where he found a dictionary of words explaining their meaning. He wanted to make sure that he fully understood the two concepts, and to do so he pulled out his notebook, to which he soon added a few more points before he finally started writing what he believes should be in the last two paintings. OOOOOOOOO 19. 9. 1989: Since the acquisition of new weapons, Hadrian did not reach the Dungeon of the Wolves until Tuesday evening. Yesterday afternoon he quickly ran for his new frames and was very pleased with the work Mr. Mooren did. Even the working documentation with drawings could actually be used as recipes, so now, thanks to his profession - a carpenter - he could create an unlimited number of new frames, even after adjusting the frame dimensions. He only needed a sufficient amount of wood, connecting components and a single click to confirm the creation of the frame. But currently he stood just a short distance from the border of the Kvikálkovský Forest in an illusion and held his new sword Fang in his hand? ?, where he was unable to see his entire name. In front of him lay five already used and almost destroyed swords, which he obtained from mysterious chests. Hungry! Hadrian commanded his sword and pointed it at five swords, but absolutely nothing happened and he was scratching his head right away. "Absorbing! Absorption! "Hadrian commanded, this time loud and with the tip of a dark red sword, he touched the sword he wanted to sacrifice to improve. He barely said it, the whole blade of his sword was enveloped by a black whirl that dropped on five weapons and pulled them all for a moment. Blue lit up before the glow faded and he could see new information. Fang? Rare: unusual (3 *) (can be improved) Type: one-handed weapon - sword Creator:? Owner: Hadrian J. R. H.

Even after losing your power to a fang? ? He retained one last ability that would allow him to regain what was lost in the right hands. "This is much better and the rarity can still be improved. I just have to wait with it, I barely meet the current requirements and I still don't have enough weapons to sacrifice, "Hadrian said to himself, and was very satisfied with what he read from the information." Still, the sword is my strongest weapon. I just hope thirsty will have some effect when monsters break up in blue. To enter the forest of wolves immediately. Wolves Les Level: 1 of 3 (1/3) Type: Natural Type: Temporary Recommended Level: 15+ Limit of visits per day: 3 Monsters: - (Normal) Wolf Black - 15/15 - (Elite) Red-brown Wolf - 10/10 - (BOSS) Beta Vlcice - 1/1 info: ... this was a newer information he got as soon as he entered and was quite surprised that the numbers of monsters remained exactly the same as he remembered, except that there was one mini-boss in the list. Maybe because this is a temporary dungeon, some monsters only appear here once? Does this mean that if I kill a mini-boss and don't want to face a boss, the next visit will not be a mini-boss? He wondered why there were one less wolf in the monster list. But he didn't think about it for a long time and with a fang? ? In one hand and a snake dagger in the other, he went to the depths of the dungeon. His goal today was not to clean it up, just to get enough exps to go to the next level. (Normal) black wolf - lvl. 15 - Wolf - HP: 150 MP: 15 So even the monster levels didn't get up, that's good. He sighed slightly after seeing the first enemy and watched from his current hiding as other wolves emerged from the shade of the trees. It was a group of five wolves, three of which were normal and two were elite. As far as I remember, the damage caused by elite monsters, which have two levels more, is twenty percent less. First, I have to eliminate normal wolves and then quickly eliminate one of the elite wolves before I fight the second red-brown wolf. He came up with a quick attack plan and waited for a while for a suitable opportunity. Diffindo! Diffindo! Diffindo! He waved lightly with a dagger, and the three rays of the chopping spell hit their targets before they went on and two of them hit the elite wolf. Both spells were weakened by the damage that was necessary to kill a normal wolf and penalize for the difference in the level between Hadrian and his enemies. Even so, the red-brown wolf suffered considerable damage, and barely a seventh of their lives remained. Hadrian deprived him of the remaining lives by stabbing his new sword in the wolf's body, which soon turned into a blue glow. But he did not end and ran through the place where the wolf lived a little while ago and rinsed after the second elite monster. Your opponent has 2 levels more and is an elite monster! -20% to damage granted! Despite the fact that the wolf just slashed and did not hit the critical spot, he took away enough lives. In addition, when his opponent used a trick, he was prepared for it and the only well-aimed difffind was able to effectively eliminate it. Thanks to the ring of magnetism, he did not have to delay collecting objects and gold from the ground, so he quickly disappeared from the place of combat and embarked on the search for other groups of wolves. In the same way, he managed to eliminate three other groups of the same composition, and when killing the last monster he could finally look at the announcement that he had won another level. Congratulations! You have reached level 16! You get 3 random and 5 free attributes of points! Name: Hadrian James Potter Age: 9 Class: The Gamer (Tier 0) Title: Magician Level: 16 - Exp: 588/120 000 HP: 2,270 MP: 2 100 Attributes: Str: 34 Vit: 35 (Bonus: 10% to MP) WIS: Bonus: -5% price MP; regeneration MP / min: 2%) Bow: 14 (bonus: + 5% to fall of the item) This would be enough for today. Departure from the dungeon! He used the fastest way to leave the Wolves Forest and quickly went home by creating illusions. OOOOOOOOO 30. 9. 1989: Nearly a week and a half since Hadrian won the 16th level and did not return to the Wolves forest all the time. But that didn't mean he had done nothing all the while. During these ten days at every free time, he trained the skills of creating a dungeon and leaving the dungeon to expand the size of the illusion. In addition to going to the afternoon clubs, he also honestly trained in the Doj, where he spent most of his time training and fighting a battle stick to quickly get as many levels as possible for this skill so he could use the second of his new weapons. In addition to training, he also began reading various books, not only in his native language, but also in others, which he mastered to a sufficient level to be able to understand the content of the book. As a result, he found that the advanced rating of the book would give him the full five levels to the language. In the end, he finished his series of twelve paintings and all twelve were at the level of the illusion of life, the highest level Hadrian had so far been able to achieve, not that he knew anything about the levels of his art. The previous day he received lists of topics for school and school art competition from teacher Lawson. The school round was to take place on Monday and he decided to study each topic and prepare basic suggestions for each of them. He spent most of the Saturday day. OOOOOOOOO 2 October 1989: Task notice! (Task update) Title: Art Competition (2) Type: Optional Submitter: Melanie Lawson Description: - ... Main objectives: 1. Defense your title winner last year! Side goals: 1. Get 1st place in the final round of art competition! 2. Get 1st place in the school round of art competition! 3. Get 1st place in the school round of art competition! (Completed) Reward for task completion: 1. 1 000 - 11 000 EXP + 25% 2. 0 - 500 pounds 3.? Penalty for failure to complete the task: 1. Loss of good name at school management. There was no doubt that the school round of the art competition would win. Teacher Lawson was very satisfied with his performance, and even decided to display his latest painting, Harmonie, in her classroom so that all her pupils could look at him. Hadrian's last image was about harmony and life cycle in nature, where he depicted the cycle of life and the food chain. It wasn't easy, there was much to paint, but in the end he managed it in the measured time. Even this painting reached the illusion of life, and if it was seen by a true master painter, he would be able to capture even slight hints of the next level - the aura of life. "Teacher, when and where will she be between the school bike?" Hadrian was interested, and because he participated in this competition on Monday, he was excused for all-day lessons. "The next round will be held in our school in two weeks. Several schools around have been the main reason for our election and anyone. Another would get at least praise from the school head, but ours still can't come to your name. But I know for sure you will get the praise of the class teacher from Mr. Johnson," Melanie told him. "Thank you," Hadrian thanked, wanting to go to the dining room before heading to the library in the remaining time before the afternoon music club, but the art teacher stopped him. "Before you go with your project? Every time I see you, I'm more and more curious." "I'm done," he replied, seeing teacher Lawson lit up for the whole round. "Great! When can I see the paintings?" She was interested with clear enthusiasm. Hadrian scratched his head from behind for a reaction and stared at the wall clock. "I have a music club from one o'clock and then training in the doju," he said indirectly, and she also looked at the lessons that showed 10:56. "So you have just two hours of time to forget lunch. If I take you home and then back to school, it won't take us long if you agree?" She offered him, and Hadrian could do nothing but nod. He was glad he had cleaned up in his room last night, so there was nothing he could be ashamed of. Vernon returned home around three o'clock, and Aunt Petunia and teacher Lawson should have no problem despite the fact that they would show up there without prior notice. In the end, the truth was that Aunt Petunia was in the middle of the cleaning and refused to let anyone stranger into the house, so Hadrian had to adapt quickly. He led his teacher Lawson to the garden, where he asked her to wait and bring twelve racks out of the garden gazebo. In fact, there was no stand in the gazebo, he had to make them all quickly, consuming the last stock of the wood he had in his inventory. Then he took all the paintings down from his room and gradually put them on the spaced stands. As soon as Melanie Lawson saw the first of the twelve paintings, she immediately disappeared in his illusion, and with every picture the reality around her disappeared, and she felt she was standing in a circle of twelve huge dragons. Each of them different colors, each representing a different aspect. Four basic elements - air, water, earth and fire. It was the first four impressive dragons. Four seasons - spring, summer, autumn and winter. The second four were even more impressive than the first, because each season contained many more things than the basic elements. The last four were rather frightening because it represented aspects of life, death, time and space. The aspects of life and death were not so difficult to depict, it was worse with time, but to express the aspect of space was probably the hardest and she had no idea if she could. Hadrian had no idea that when he puts all twelve images into a circle, he would create the basic formation, and the power of the illusion of the life of all the images would be combined into the space and each image would go through evolution. Congratulations! You have created a basic formation to concentrate and combine the illusion of the life of your paintings! Each image went through evolution and gained the aura of life! You get 24 levels to the profession - painter! "What?" Hadrian didn't understand how this could have happened. I know that there is an illusion of life, I have received levels for paintings with this feature many times. But I had no idea that there was some other level. It means this is just the beginning and there are paintings with much higher evolution? Hadrian thought and stood next to his art teacher to experience the effect of this basic. Formation. He himself found himself in the circle of the twelve huge dragons he painted and even was able to feel their power. The whole illusion was very realistic and all twelve images seemed to be united and all the dragons began to get to know each other and consolidate their dominance. " Aunt Petunia called them and pulled them both out of the trance. Melanie immediately looked at her watch to find out that she had spent just over half an hour in illusion. She has already experienced something similar, but not so powerful and powerful. After her latest experience, she was ready to believe that there was magic and supernatural things. There was no logical explanation of how she could see and experience what had just happened. "I have no words," she breathed as she left the circle of twelve paintings. "I didn't know that if I put them in a circle like this, they would have this effect," Hadrian apologized, but Melanie shook her head. "No, I'm glad I could experience something like this and see with my own eyes. It's like returning to my childhood and believing in magic and mythical creatures again. Thank you, "she told him and hugged him, which surprised him and didn't know how he should react." What do you intend to do with these paintings? Uncle Charles will certainly be interested in them, "she asked him as each of the paintings hid back in the protective case. "I would like to sell them, but I don't know what the price is and if they can buy them all?" He replied. "Leave it to me. If you have time this weekend, I'll arrange a visit and the rest will be on it," Melanie said and Hadrian nodded. I'll have to get more wood. I'm just afraid that the forest of wolves is not a safe place to extract it. He thought when he saw how little wood he had there, because most of his supplies were stored in his campsite in the forest. OOOOOOOOO 7 October 1989: It has been almost half a year since he and Melanie Lawson visited Charles King at his home and Charles became his first customer. The house and its surroundings have not changed much, only one new statue was added and there was one extra car on the driveway. "Melanie, Hadriane, welcome! I hope your journey was without complications? "Charles greeted them before they were able to get out of the car fully." The road was fine, except for local showers, "Melanie replied, embracing with Charles. "Yes, yes, autumn has come, and one in the bones can feel the coming winter. "But we're not here because of the weather, but this young man with incredible talent. I dared to invite two of my art friends today," he told them and helped transfer the wrapped paintings to a pre-prepared room for displaying them. "Melanie, Hadriane, these are Edward and Olivia Queen, who own one smaller art auction house. Olivia, Edward, this is my niece and her student Hadrian, the author of the four paintings you want to buy from me despite the fact that I am not going to sell them, "Charles introduced them." I am pleased to meet someone so young with talent that surpasses most of the current painters. " "Normally I would offer you refreshments and talk about useless for a while, but I can't wait to see what Hadrian has prepared for us," Charles said, pointing to veiled paintings. "I call this Dragon Series series of twelve paintings, because dragons are one of the two main characteristics of each." Jim Hadrian explained, slowly starting to reveal one painting next to another, and he was glad that all the stands were in a row side by side and not in a circle. He would not like to imprison all three in a realistic illusion. "E-Edward! A-Aura, "Olivia breathed in surprise, and both knew there was no normal in the presence of anyone and there were no common images before them. Both of them met many during their lives and business and were acquainted with the existence of the supernatural, many special customers of their auction house came from a magical environment. Space. Whatever I look at, I literally see and feel their presence," Charles breathed, holding out his hand several times, as if the dragons of the paintings were right in front of him, and he ran his fingertips over their scales. "These paintings must not reach the general public," Edward said after looking at them all and evaluating their gross price. "Edward is right. All twelve paintings are an aura and are classified as magical items. Their sale to ordinary people is very problematic. Fortunately, there is a special clientele." "What do you propose?" Charles asked, recovering from what he saw and looking at his niece as he took it all. Half a year ago she clearly protested that magic didn't exist, but now it didn't seem to have the same opinion. He had to thank young Hadrian for just opening her eyes for a moment. Determine the price of a single painting, let alone the entire collection, and the best way to sell them is to organize an auction and see how much customers are able to pay. But before that, all the paintings must be passed through the necessary control and registration. We will be able to sell or auction them, "Olivia said. "What do you think, Hadriane? Olivia is a renowned expert and has been in the world of art for many years. Their services are not cheap, but all parties are always happy with the result, "Charles asked the youngest member of their little gathering." What are my options? " Hadrian asked and wanted to have clear information without speculation. "You have several options. You can keep the paintings and hope you sell them and you won't have problems with people from the magical world. Another option is to sell this series for a certain amount. Or you can conclude an auction contract with us, where we take care of all matters and you will only receive the resulting amount from us after deducting our share and taxes, "Edward said straight, and Hadrian thought." Just an estimate of how much I would get for immediate sale and how much auction? " He asked him another question, which Olivia answered this time. "Each painting is worth about five to ten thousand pounds. But the whole series could be sold for a quarter of a million. If you decide to sell these paintings to us, we are able to offer you two hundred thousand pounds. It could be just half of this offer, or even three times, it depends on many factors. "She barely said it, Melanie had to cover her mouth with a surprise to literally shout over the amount Hadrian's couple offered." If I chose the auction, what would be your share? " He wanted to know. "Before the paintings can be auctioned, they will have to go through a process I have already mentioned, and it is not cheap. You are not even our VIP customer and we do not know for sure whether the auction will be successful or not. Twenty percent, "Edward told him, and Charles didn't look at him very friendly." Edward, we've been friends for many years and I know the prices of your auction house very well. I recommend someone else's services to Hadrian or Hadrian, "Charles intervened. "Thirteen percent," Hadrian said quite seriously, knowing he should normally go up and meet him somewhere in the middle, but he trusted Charles more than his husbands and wanted to force them to descend fifteen percent, as Charles suggested. "What?! Seventeen percent, I can't go below, "Edward protested right away, thinking he would intimidate the young boy with his indignation." Ten percent. I don't know if my Master Takumi black dragon Kurokouu has friends to buy my paintings, but I'll try my luck, "Hadrian said. When Bai Yu addressed Master Kurokyua, he got the impression that it was quite powerful and in certain circles and the dreaded name. His assumption was soon confirmed, as Edward and Olivia slightly faded and exchanged a quick look. "Fifteen percent then," Edward finally said. "Fifteen percent for you, three percent for Charles King as our mediator and two percent for Melanie Lawson as my deputy in this store," Hadrian said, shaking with Edward's right. He left the rest of the negotiations to Charles and teacher Lawson, and he went out to see the works of art Charles had there. For the first time, he had no idea how far someone was able to go to feed on others, but at that moment he had promised that if he could, he would never be in an inferior position. That day he decided to find out everything how such auction houses work to be prepared in the future. How the familiar phrase sounded - ignorance does not excuse! OOOOOOOOO Oct 31, 1989: The end of the month came faster than Hadrian expected. Fourteen days ago, he won the school round of the art competition and was now just waiting for the announcement of the national round date. As Charles King mentioned three weeks ago, the weather was getting cold this year, and Hadrian could feel fresh snow in the air on his way from school to Doja despite the fact that nothing fell from the sky. "Hey, do you have a sword training today?" Tamara asked him, which he met at the dressing room door. "Yeah," he replied with a smile, and was quite surprised how Tamara had changed in the last few weeks. There was no need to lie, it was still a hot head that was easy to provoke, but Master Feng's lessons began to show up, and sometimes she remembered that she could think about something. Meditation certainly benefited her. "I decided to learn to fight the sword too!" She said passionately, and Hadrian shook his head. "Do you know what? What did your father or other masters say to you?" He wondered and saw Tamara look immediately, knowing that this was just another of the hasty decisions. "I was hoping you would intercede with Master Takeshi," she said without a clear answer. "Let's go inside, he's not the hottest outside," he said, and they both entered the main gym where they headed for Master Takeshi. "Miss Granger, what brings you to me?" Ichigo asked as he noticed Hadrian's entourage. "Umm, I'd like to learn to control the sword?" She asked uncertainly, and Ichigo was quite surprised. "Weapons are not a toy, be it swords, sticks or firearms. In addition, your specialization is karate, why the new interest? "Ichigo asked, and Tamara had no idea how to answer it." Master, Isshin-ryu Karate includes armed struggle, either using Sai or Hole. By regular meditation lessons with Master Feng, "Hadrian argued for his only friend and suggested at least some kind of weapon that he thought was more suited to Tamara than an ordinary sword. "That's true, but Miss Granger has paid only karate courses and will not only need to pay a certain amount for weapon combat courses, but will also have to have a signature from his father," Master Takeshi told them. "If I get this, will I be able to train with Hadrian?" She reassured herself with hope in her voice. "Not with him directly, but yes, if you meet all the necessary conditions, then I don't see a problem not to find a suitable weapon for you and start training," Ichigo agreed, watching Tamara jumped triumphantly before she kissed Hadrian on her cheek and ran after Akira. "Oh, the young love. Ichigo in his student, but Hadrian did not know anything. "I hope you are ready, Master!" Hadrian said, grabbing the training sword before he threw himself at Master Takeshi. Four hours of heavy training were no problem for Hadrian long ago and nodded happily at the end of the lesson to get another level to Dex and Wis. "Get out of my way, Potter," Donovan growled at him as they met in the shower door and put Hadrian dodge, Donovan pushed him hard. Hadrian took a step backwards to stabilize before grabbing Donovan's hand and skillfully twisting it behind his back, then forcing him to kneel on the marrow floor. "I don't know what the problem is, and I don't care, but take your anger at the training dummy, not the rest of us. He tried to calm him down and make him think. "You're just a damn Nick, Potter, who his parents threw at the threshold of your uncle's house. You and Granger are both damned Nicky!" Donovan shouted in response, and Hadrian knew he wouldn't be the only reasonable word with him, so he sniffed and watched Donovan lay down on the wet ground. "Nick is only you, donovan. You let yourself be controlled by your own emotions and you have no control over them. Be glad I am not one of those older students who would sweep the entire dressing room with you and then throw you naked out for how you behave, "Hadrian said, drying and dressed at his locker. He barely walked out of the dressing room, he was hit by a cold wave and he blinked everywhere in the neighborhood." The winter came a little earlier, "Hadrian said, waiting near the cloakroom door, promising Tamara to accompany her on the bus before heading home. He was so prevented from watching the falling snow flakes that he ignored the way one of the boys ran past him and returned a little moment with Master Gin, who ran into the boy's dressing room. "What happened?" Tamara asked, noticing what she was coming out of the girl's dressing room. "I don't know, but Donovan wasn't in a very good mood when I met him a while ago," Hadrian shrugged. "Today he asked me several times during the training and always defeated him, but he was crazy and refused to accept that I was better than him," Tamara sneered, and he realized why he was in such a bad mood. Hadrian could say the door to the boy dressing room again and two of their classmates holding a little boy. He held his left hand, which was curved to an unnatural angle. "If the bastard does not exclude it, I can get the help of older students and recharge him so that even his parents will not recognize him!" One of the boys tried to reassure the others, and Tamara could only cover her mouth as shocked by this look. When the door opened a second time, Master Gin came out of them and literally pulled behind the hastily dressed Donovan. "This was the last drop, Donovan! If I didn't want to fall to your level, I would beat your soul out of you, "Master Gin threatened him and Donovan tried to free him from his grip, but the older man didn't let him go." You can all the fucking bitch! I hope you die! You and the bastard! " Donovan began shouting as soon as he saw them both. "Go, Mr. Donovan will never visit us again," Master Gin told them, and Hadrian grabbed Tamara's hand to take her away from the milk. They were barely at the gate when Tamara pulled back and steered back to the milk with clenched fists, but fortunately caught her around her waist. He commanded her and felt clearly shaking. "Let me go! I want to kick his anus, I want to break all his limbs to experience what he caused others! "Tamara protested, and if he didn't hold it, she would really be beaten to death by Donovan." Leave it! " He ordered her again. "The masters will take care of him and eliminate him 100%. There is a very good chance that we will never see him again. Because of similar problems, he had to change school many times, and his father wouldn't be happy with him, "he tried to calm her down, and after a while he seemed to have succeeded." Let's go before the bus runs away, "they both broke away again. On the way to the bus stop, none of them spoke a single word, and Tamara literally hugged his right hand and refused to let go. "What time is it? There are always more people from here, "Tamara said, looking at her watch, finding that the bus had missed a full five minutes." Wait, I'll see when you are coming, "Hadrian said, approaching the schedule. Fortunately, he found out that it was not the last bus, he was supposed to go in about forty minutes, so they had no choice but to wait. "How is it possible that it didn't move with you? The boy could barely be seven years old, "Tamara asked after a moment, and Hadrian sighed." Everything has its time and place. Panic, anger, appetite, all emotions you must never be controlled. It's not that I just feel nothing, but whatever I do would bring another reaction. I am not saying that Donovan does not deserve a lesson, but we are not in a position to make decisions about such things, "he replied, trying to explain his rather passive attitude, although he had no problem taking a much more aggressive position of eye blink speeds. "Grr, if Master Feng saw me, he'll order me another hours of meditation," Tamara lamented, and Hadrian started laughing at it. The bus was supposed to appear every minute, so Hadrian and Tamara came out of the nearby booth where they were hiding from the first snow. "Thanks, you didn't want to risk the bus driver." He waited with me. I know you're cold, so go, the bus will be here every minute and you don't have to wait with me, "Tamara told him, and Hadrian looked at her questioningly if he was serious. "Go, nothing happens to me," she pushed him gently. "All right, I'm coming," he replied, saying goodbye before he broke toward his relatives' house. He walked barely fifty meters when he heard a frightened scream and he turned quickly. In the distance he saw something he would not forget for the rest of his life. A very well-known figure was running away from the place where Tamara was supposed to stand, but that wasn't that important. In his view, Tamara flew through the air very slowly, especially when her figure was illuminated by two large truck lights. His whole body was flooded with a wave of paralyzing fear, and he was unable to take a single step. Shift! He commanded his body, but it refused to obey him. Shit damn! He commanded again, and this time he was able to step out, but he knew he wouldn't be able to do anything for all his power. Shift! Now! He cried out in his mind, and his entire body was suddenly flooded with all the magic he had, and in the next step he disappeared into a whirlwind of snowflakes. Neither he himself knew how he appeared at Tamara, nor how he caught her in his arms, and with the only thought of a safe place this time both of them disappeared in the whirlwind of snowflakes. The last thing Hadrian remembered that day was the decoration of Tamara's room and the announcement that he had awakened some new magical skill. Congratulations!
