As Sheila arrives at the forest behind their household. She sees that the little Noir is looking at his brother Nolan training, as Noir tries to hide behind a tree.
"Hmm? What are you doing?" Sheila said as she surprise Noir.
"Ah! Wait, why didn't i.. hear you Ms.?"
"Oh! It's my Magic. Elemental Magic, Shrouded step."
"My affinity elemental is wind, so of course i'll be able to use a Tier 1 wind magic easily."
Noir is confused on what is his instructor talking about, and so he ask some question while still trying to brace himself up while talking to this new stranger he just met.
"Umm.. Ms. Sheila... What is tier 1 wind magic?" As Noir ask the question away nervously, Sheila has a shock face.
"I see. So your father never tell you about it?"
"Well... I've heard of it from mother about tier magic, but i don't know what tier 1 wind magic is.." Noir answered, he looked down on himself scared that he might made a mistake.
As Sheila approach the little Noir, she pats Noir head.
"Don't be shy little one... I'm your teacher from now on, so call me Teach. Also i will tell you all you need to know about magic and swordsmanship."
Sheila then goes on to explain about tier magic. There is 5 existing tier magic, Tier 1 : Beginner, a tier that befits those who start learning about magic, and the easiest out of the 5 to learn. Tier 2 : Advance, a tier that takes time to practice and master as with this spell it can destroy a wall easily. Tier 3 : Master, a tier that takes possibly years to learn as this tier magic could even destroy a big building easily. Tier 4 : Disaster, a tier that usually takes 10 years or more to learn as this tier magic can create a natural Disaster at will. Tier 5 : Calamity, only a fraction of people that exist manage to learn this tier of magic. The strongest form of magic that could even bend the laws of physics and destroy a whole continent. Truly befitting of it's name 'Calamity'.
There are only 3 existing people that is known to have this tier of magic as of today that is still alive. The Greatest Mage - Apollo Noxeria, The Dark Knight of Extorsia - Napalm Yudistrika', and last but not least The 5th King of Aslanta - August Von Aslanta V.
"Well those are the people to my knowledge that has achieve the Tier 5 magic." Sheila said as she tries to remember if she miss any other person.
"Of course there are some people that could possibly reach Tier 5 magic in the near future, but I won't count them."
"B-but.. Then what is Tier 1 wind magic?"
"Hmmm, well it's the same concept, but the difference is it's using Affinity Elemental. As you know there are 7 existing elements, everyone can learn any of the existing tier of magic, but it will take a long time to learn each spell or magic.
"With Affinity Elemental, you can learn your Elemental magic much easier and much faster than other people. For example your father, he has the Affinity Elements of Fire & Earth. And so your father can learn a Tier 3 Fire Magic in a view months, while people that don't have Affinity to that element will take a year or more."
Sheila answer thoroughly and try's to keep it as simple as possible for the little Noir. As the breeze of wind hit both of their face, Sheila proceed to glance at little Noir overthinking whether she overload little Noir brain.
"So... That means.. I can learn Tier 2 Fire magic easily?"
"That's correct" Sheila said as she smile to Noir and give him a head pat
Noir blush for a moment, as he is embarrassed every time Sheila gives him a head pat. Sheila proceed to stand up and ask an important question to the little Noir.
"Well, shall we train now? For now all i could do for you is teaching you how to use a sword and how to control the flow of Ether. Are you ready little boy?"
"Y-yes teach..." Noir said in a soft voice, as he stands up slowly.
"LOUDER!!"
"Y-YES TEACH!"
As Noir stands up tightly with a determine eyes ready to change himself. Sheila saw that determined eyes of little Noir and proceed to take out a wooden sword to begin the training.
In a distant, a figure seems to be peeking from a tree watching both of them train. Then the figure smile and proceed to left the scene quietly.
Day become Week, Week become month, month become year. As the little Noir kept training and training relentlessly. Noir train everyday even at the harsh hot sunshine, a vicious cold winter, and even a thunderous rainy day. It took Noir a month just to master the basic of swordsmanship, but Noir never gave up, he kept trying and trying as he wants to change for the better now.
A year passed again, the little Noir has mastered the flow of Ether that is being taught by Sheila. A flow of Ether that flows like a water calm and quiet, but could change at any moment into a waterfall, dangerous and sharp.
In the mean time he also learn how to use Tier 1 fire magic from his father very easily. But Noir didn't stop there, he also tries to learn Tier 1 water magic even though he had some difficulties with it as it is not his Affinity Elemental.
While all of this happening, the eldest son of Bolevante were leaving the household to go to the Capital of Aslanta. The eldest son, Nolan Bolevante is reaching the age of 16, he wishes to venture outside of Javan to know more about magic and this world.
Nolan Bolevante who is perceive to be the next Javan Lion, is indeed a very genius kid. Nolan has 2 Affinity Elemental, which is fire and water. The chance of such being could have 2 Affinity Elemental is 1 in 1.000.000.
With his genius swordsmanship and magical capabilities, Nolan is already on par with his swordsman instructor interm of swordsmanship at the age of 14. Nolan already learned a Tier 3 Fire Magic, making him the youngest mage in Javan to learn a Tier 3 Elemental magic.
The time the eldest son leave, Nolan never said goodbye to his little brother, Noir. Even Noir is unsure why his brother never talk to him after Noir the first Ceremony of Graham.
In little Noir minds, he thinks that his elder brother hate him, because Noir is not a genius like his elder brother. A day after the departure of his brother, Noir is filled with sadness & sorrow. Noir lost his fighting spirit after thinking that his brother hate him.
Sheila came up to Noir heavily sighed off. Sheila approach Noir slowly and tap Noir shoulder.
"Oi, kid." She said with a sharp eyes glaring at the little Noir.
"Prepare your stuff, we are leaving tomorrow" Sheila said as she turns around and goes back to the household.
"W-wait! W.. What do you mean Teach??"
"We are going to Kortopia tomorrow. I'm gonna make you met someone special." Sheila answered leaving behind the confuse little Noir...
