I open my eyes as a baby and everyone is watching me I wondered if they speak the same language as me but I didnt want to confirm as if I spoke and they also did speak the same language I don't know what would happen to me.They were all mostly red haired and they all wore same red cloaks which looked familiar to me but I couldn't remember where i have seen it . My mother takes me into her arms and says"he is just like his father"."Helios" said my mother "from now on you will be called Helios Vermilion" . That's a nice name wait a minute I feel like I have heard the name Vermillion somewhere. I can't do anything as a baby so let's skip to when I am three years old, shall we . In these three years of my life I learnt that my mother is called Blasa vermillion.
Shouldn't a child me named after his father's family name you might ask so let me explain . This is a medival world of swords and magic . As I said the concept of magic exists in this world not the ones they do with the cards.At the age of 15 the people of this world go to a magic tower Guard by guardians . In this magic tower people will receive their grimoires at the age of 15 . only the owner of the grimoires can open and use the grimoires.
Everyone in this world are born with certain magical aptitudes this is called mana those who have high amounts of mana can cast more magics those who obtain grimoires will have knowledge of what magic they can use . Through hardwork they may unlock new spells which may be support magic , creation magic or attack magic.
Long long ago a demon appeared out of no where and attack humans it appeared as if humanity would be destroyed. then a single mage appeared and defeated the demon . He was later called as the Wizard king and became a legend . The position of wizard king has been passed down from generation to generation . Only the powerful mage in the kingdom can become the wizard king.
wizard king is protected by magic knight captains . If you are wondering who are the magic knights they are knights who protect the kingdom. To become a magic knight you have to pass the magic knights entrance exam held in the capital . you are allowed to retake it as many times as you want it is only held once a year . In this world there are people who mostly always born with high amounts of mana and they are called nobles and they live in the capital . those who do not have high amounts of mana are discriminated against In this world . Those who are not born of noble blood are called commoners.
My mother is a noble form the vermillion family but no one knows the origin of my father . when I ask my mother she just tells me that she will tell me about my father when I get stronger . The magic knights are mostly nobles and it is very rare for a commoner to have high mana capacity. nobles mostly marry inside their family to preserve their noble blood and I am what people call half-blood as my mother is noble and my father's origin is unknown so they just thought he is commoner.
I have blonde hair unlike others in my family who have red hair . My mother said " it's something you got from your father he is also blonde you see " . So I said that " I will become a magic knight then I can ask about my father " . "There's no way you can even become a magic knight you half blood , said a voice from behind me.
