"You are an advanced level mage aren't you" Reinhardt questioned.
"Well, i wouldn't say that". Iode replied.
"Now I see it wasn't luck that you manage to bury me, seems to be a fight won by experience". Reinhardt said.
"You were so cool and awesome down there, you stood your ground unshaken and unwavered despite being injured, that magic circle made you more awesome ". Hector kept blabbering.
"Which academy did you attend in your early years " Sylvester asked anticipating Iode's reply.
But Iode is a low level student just like them_ just a bit special, he sighed and decided to tell them some truth.
"Actually I'm just a low level mage just like you all, I'm able to cast advanced level spells because of some reasons that might be too early to know ". Iode replied.
"What are the reasons that might be too early for us to know ". Sylvester asked
"Quit being nosy, you will know when the times right ". Iode replied.
"Seriously "? Angelica said.
*. *. *.
The test was over for the day, Iode, as requested of him had to leave his 'friends' to the academy's senate building. On his way, due to limited knowledge on the interior of the building, he waited outside a bit before proceeding further.
As he was about to enter, he met someone who he hadn't seen for a while, captain Jacob stood at the entrance. Just like the day they met, he is in the blue tower brigade uniform with clean shaven beard, orange hair and orange eyes.
He seems to be waiting for someone so he went to him to greet a few pleasantries before going to the meeting.
"Hi sir , it been a while Captain Jacob". He said with a smile on his face.
"Ha, just the person I'm waiting for, how have you been, Iode". Captain Jacob replied with a smile on his face.
"Fine... Wait you are waiting for me, why"? Iode asked curiously.
"Do you know where the meeting would be held". Captain Jacob asked.
"No". He said.
"Thought so, so follow me". Captain Jacob said.
Iode followed Jacob along the lobby, he could see the designs made on the building, the years it took those who worked on it wouldn't be small. Filled with intricate designs and various precious stones, it is a wonder to behold.
"This place is beautiful". Iode said out loud.
"Yeah, speaking of that, i saw what you did in the test, it's quite surprising that a low level student like you could do such things". Captain Jacob said.
"Well, there are reasons ". Iode said.
"It quite obvious, you are one a successor of one of the original five, to be specific, Igor ". Captain Jacob said.
"How do you know"? Iode asked.
"That purple aura around you... Wait you know, i thought successors don't know until they are told by one of the high level mages ". Captain Jacob said.
"Well, someone similar to an high level mage or a bit stronger told me ". Iode replied.
"As expected... No need to panic, the people behind this door are just like you, if you feel overwhelmed, look at their desks not the face alright ". Captain Jacob said as he stood in front of a large door.
Iode was getting engrossed in the conversation that he failed to notice they have approached a gigantic door, twice his height. On the door post was written 'Room A-6'.
Captain Jacob knocked the door twice, opened the door and entered the room together with Iode. The room was large, painted dark blue in color. The windows were large oval shaped. At the middle of the room was a very grand setting.
Grand long table with grand large chairs which were eight in numbers. Seated on them are eight mages who are in their sixties, who are called Magi's (Magus for singular). These are the Blue Tower Senates.
"Welcome, Iode, we have called you here today because we noticed and saw what you did at today's test. With all the evidence shown to us since the entrance assessment down to this day, we have concluded that you, Iode, as the successor of Igor". A large man who has the name 'Magus Einspanner de worldes' written on his tag said.
He is a man with gray hair and beard wearing the blue tower rope. He is deemed the head of the meeting.
Iode wasn't surprised any more after hearing captain Jacob say it. He wouldn't have expected any less from the stunt he pulled up earlier. But what are the reasons apart from that stunt he pulled, he could have been mistaken as an advanced level mage like any other person.
"I'm sure you must be confused right now, but it's ok, we have already examined your traits numerous times for us to draw this conclusion ". Magus Bradford said.
Iode wasn't confused he was only curious how they were able to draw such correct conclusion.
"If i may ask, How do you know I'm igor successor". Iode asked.
"First, it was your faint nigh invisible aura that was purple in colour, but that does not justify you being Igor's successor as there are a lot of mages with purple aura ". Magus Pandavatton said.
"But we're able to know because the aura of the original five had fiery condensations in them, which is exactly what you possess ". Pandavatton continued.
"We were confused at first because usually, descendants of the original five succeed them, but somebody in the past already broke that reasoning and we thought it would be the same for you " Magus Caspian de Bargus.
"The second is the beast you fought, a mystical beast, which can only appear where a person possess mystical powers, but in your case it's Igor's, confirmed our suspicion". Magus Bertus de Ignatius, also a bearded man said.
That actually made sense, it's not actually made to the public how the aura of the original five looks like, now he knows.
"Iode, we want to ask you a question, though you might be the successor of Igor, there is no way you would be able to cast advanced level spells, could you tell us how that was made possible "? Magus Sara asked.
Iode knew those advanced level spells he casted would raise a lot of questions, he had casted them already before regretting ever doing so. He bites his tongue and sighed.
"When I was young, a stranger came to my dad's shop, he saw my wrist stigma and gave me a spell book, of which later i got to know it was an advanced level book ". Iode said.
All the Senate body looked at each other and Iode knew why. Advanced level books are not available outside the towers and the academies. It is for sure that a meeting would be held on that matter.
"Ok, Iode another question, it seems you are already aware of the fact that you Igor's successor, from your expression down to your question, how did you know about it, is it that stranger?". A witch who has the name 'Magus Lynn de Loyola' in her tag asked.
"You might not believe me but it was a dragon who told me, I met him in the swamps during the assessment". Iode said smirking underneath.
The Senate body became stunned with this answer.
