Demons and spirit beasts were rampaging around the empire, Arkonon was in critical devastation, mages given their magical powers by the dragon gods, fought the demons and spirit beasts,but only one single mage was strong enough to defeat the demon king and the beast lord.
This mage was recognized as mankind's weapon for destruction,the first mage to become a six leaf;the greastest magical clover to be bestowed on a person although throughout the world only one six leaves existed and for several centuries only one powerful mage in the entire world could be chosen by it and then become the six leaves magic emperor.
Moving to the future the thirteenth six leaf magic emperor had planned to find a successor amongst the strongest men in Arkonon;his sons ,five in number. The last son was chosen by the six leaves but his brothers disagreed and broke Arkonon into five rival nations each at war against Pixon; the nation the last son resided after being chosen by the six leaves, knowing fully well the six leaf also resided in pixon too.
The thirteenth six leaves magic emperor sensed danger, therefore he reversed his last son from being the magic emperor, appeasing the last son with the role of the magic prince of pixon and setting rules that pixon had now become a nation ruled by his last son.
The thirteenth magic emperor then eloped with the six leaves giving several mages the order to conceal pixon in a magic barrier that no one could breach into immediately after he left the nation ,soon enough his whereabouts were never known again.
"That's why every strong magical mage have to become a silver knight and use his or her magic to protect pixon and also help restore the six leaves to bring peace back to Arkonon again"....
Soon after the teacher's explanation a hand was raised at the back of the class, all the other students turned their attention towards him ; his classic black spiky hair waved around with wind pushing it mildly,his sky blue eyes lit with a hint of curiosity ,his pointy nose rooted in the middle of his face , a perfect lipline and a lean v shaped jaw completed his face infact he had a more muscular build and a peaking height ,he was really a good description of a cute kid .
"Does everyone have magic,sister marie?" The kid Itsuki Aoyama asked after he was given the chance .
Sister Marie looked up and sighed heavily,
" In this world of ours magic is everything..."
"Clovers are recognized as the gods' gift and every single person is expected to have come across one ,seeing a clover literally means a person has recieved their magic gift, although the number of leaves on the clover now detemines the class of the gifts gotten , firstly the one leaf and two leaves clovers represent the weaker forms of magic the people with this gifts are regarded as commoners since their magic isn't appealing to the stages of power therefore leaving the user's of such magics in a commoners rank mostly E-rank and D-rank ....."
" What about the three leaves and four leaves ,sister marie ?" One of the students curiosly shot in again.
" Ah yes ...." Sister Marie sighed "the three leaves and four leaves are regarded as nobility it stands for brilliant power and since both symbolizes hope,faith,power and good luck the mages with these gifts are often seen as heroes and people from this rank and above are gifted by the gods again with another item of magic the technique chronicles,the three and four leaves are regarded as second civilization mages ranks spanning between C-rank and B- rank,the five leaves a rare bunch but they exist the have more efficient magic that makes them the top notch mages infact they are seen as royalty when they are discovered forgetting their initial background they are the A-rank mages and a higher faction of them are the S-rank,that show strength beyond imagination. And lastly the six leaves ,majorly only one exist but anyone who gets chosen by it has unlocked great power and has gained himself or herself ultimate royalty becoming the only SS-rank mage ....…... After this outline, each and every single person in the world is expected to be under anyone of this gifts but recently in years the world discovered some society of people who have no ounce of magic in them knowing this they have been given space but their existence only seems fictional and not real , it's only sad that the truth remains the truth there are people like that and we have a good representation amongst us....."
Sister Marie sighed again and closed her eyes for a second opening it back immediately she said -
" any more questions?"
" No sister Marie !"the students ranted
" Alright then,lesson's over"
*************
Outside the classes ,the orphanage became full of activities, students were running around playing with magic ,only one kid sat alone on the swings looking at his mates playing with magic he had only wished to use it once but it would never happen he was to be adopted by one of the pure souls society member ;the magicless people's community .
Itsuki pushed the swings with his legs as he thought of how he had sat down there everyday for over fifteen years shut away from everyone else cause he couldn't use magic.
Tears rolled down his cheeks,with the words "why can't I use magic ,why !" Cloud his mind. Some other kids walked up to him and started laughing "if it isn't mankind's weapon of weakness"the group laughed again and made silly faces at Itsuki
"Is there any problem Lotus gang" some kid walked up to the swings facing yhe group of kids tormenting Itsuki.
The lotus kids trembled in fear while speaking to him the kid that showed up out of nowhere " hope you guys aren't going around calling him weak cause you are all his level you know what can D-rank 0 star do compared to those already using D-rank 5 star and above yet you all still calling someone else weak " the kid gave a wicked smirk andsoon his hands were out and in between his palm a ball of fire was forming " now leave here before I burn your dreams of becoming silver knights"
The lotus kids scattered in different directions and Itsuki was left with the kid that had just saved him .
"You didn't have to do anything i had them covered " Itsuki said giving his savior an angered facial expression
"Chill out chief i just thought of helping that's all "the kid said smiling at Itsuki.
"You don't have to do it all the time Saiten I'm grown up now i can fend for myself coco" Itsuki retorted giggling after his statement . " Yo, you just had to see their face they were like suprised....." Itsuki said again "they never thought the strongest mage in the entire orphanage would come help a pure soul like mine".
"Anyways that's up to them , Being C-rank five star gives me chills I can't wait to become C-rank bronze so i can unlock my technique chronicle ,can i cultivate beside you chief " Saiten kazuki said with a hearty smile he sat still centering his mana to his soul realm therefore increasing his power ,orange flames began to surround Saiten and soon he gathered attention from everyone in the Orphanage as light shines over Saiten and Itsuki , blinding Itsuki with the lights the chronicle reveals itself ,it was the first time Itsuki witnessed a bloom ceremony Saiten stretched his hands foward and and the chronicle landed safe in his palms,
"Whoa !" Every other kid in the orphanage suprised and dumbfounded just stared at Saiten and his chonicle .
" So the irregular amount of my training paid off i now have chronicle and I can probably steal spirit beast abilities now .... I can't believe I did it chief" Saiten said while a smile crept on his face .
" Did you have to say all that to my face ....." Itsuki said with a hardened face " i mean why are you the only one taking all the glory ..." Tears ran down his cheeks
"..... I'm so ..... happy for you" Itsuki hugged Saiten causing Saiten to smile
" Now i can protect you forever and ever now chief" Saiten burst into tears " I'll never leave your side in danger "Itsuki said sobbing and then the two boys had a heavenly pact hand symbol touching each other " i promise to be there for you always " .
******
In a couple of minutes Saiten and Itsuki had entered the owner's office Saiten handed over his chronicle to the owner and the owner peered at it "the Fiery Flame Technique that's a wonderful one Saiten ,now you are the orphanage's security i hope you do your job well incase of any mage affairs you'll be with the other security mages ,okay" owner stated .
" Affirmative sir !" Saiten replied .
" As for you Itsuki your new family is coming to get you in two days time be ready okay" owner said
" Okay sir !" Itsuki saluted just like Saiten had did and then he and Saiten ran out the office playing together, Left alone in his office owner thought - they are all grown up now my two favorite children i found them bought my self and infact i nutured them both myself , it's wonderful to see your cute lovelies grow up. To bad Itsuki is going I'm not sure i can live with his absence even though the kid doesn't have magic he has a big heart no wonder he is even more smarter than the rest - owner sighed and checked the letters sent to his table.
One of the letters stated as follows -
To the owner of valiant nursing home,
A spirit portal has appeared several kilometers away from your orphanage and it tested to harbor C-rank spirit beasts that can cause harm to the children th portals bond will break in two days time and we expect you to evacuate your orpanage a couple of silver knights are to be deployed to the area after that and it would be announced when it's safe to come back.
Province head ,
TOH Province.-
The owner knew the children and everyone in the orphanage were in danger and he had to do something fast,he had recieved this letter about two days before and his mind battled with the fact- the portal's bond was broken already by now since the time they finished the classes- shock fills the face of the owner and his voice could be heard throughout the entire orphanage
"Sister Marie, Sister Lucy,Sister Elizabeth ! Evacuate the Orphanage spirit beasts are coming "
Immediately the voice of the owner came through spreading around the Orphanage and it's surrounding a loud roar came soaring through from the forest, loud thumping of huge monstrous feet clouded the air with it's sound then it seemed to replicate as if there were more than one spirit beast out there.
" Get the children to the village sisters it's not saf...." just before the owner could finish talking a spirit beast the shape of a deer sprung out -a C-rank spirit beast- and bit of the head of one of the Lotus kids and cut through the stomach of another the deer cleared out the lotus kids because they were the first prey it sighted .
A sharp cry rented the air and several children broke into tears the sisters wept bitterly over the loss of seven children , the owner stood there dumbfounded and in shock again as the words - No it can't be,deers are expected to be herbivores how did it kill seven children in a flash- ran through his head.
Out of nowhere a ball of flame hit one of the C-rank deers and burned it to ashes in an instant , the other C-rank deers turned towards the direction the blast came from -Standing in a up straight posture having blood thirst fill his eyes- Saiten , his chronicle floated by his side with orange light of flames surrounding it
" Why did you do it ! Why did you kill them ! Is it because they were weak ! Are you one of those upholders of the law only the strongest can survive ! Why do i even ask questions from mere animals without the mindset of culture, all i have to do is kill nothing more"
He arched himself in a battle form pose putting his hands out as flames lit in his eyes " FIERY FLAME : FIRE DRILLS"
Just there before everyone's eyes multiple drills of fire descended from the skies and bore holes into the C-rank deers that were left , the remains of the deers after being drilled incinerated and burned throughly turning into ashes .
The flames in Saiten's eyes went out and immediately he heard a loud cry in the woods .
-before the deers attack on the Orphanage, Itsuki had been walking in the forest he had an oak tree he and Saiten discovered when they were young he stepped into it as the big tree had a hole big enough to allow humans in and there had been a lair beneath the roots which could be accessed by the hole in the tree the lair had been decorated by both Itsuki and Saiten at their young age and they had used the oak tree as an hideout , stepping into the oak tree once again by himself Itsuki lit the lantern that had always been in there ,he thought of how Saiten usef to turn it on himself with his fire magic but how he now used a match stick to put it on , after staying some minutes in the lair Itsuki decided to explore it beyond what he and Saiten chose to use there had always been more room in the lair beneath the oak but he and Saiten chose not to go beyond a marked spot .
Moving futher into the lair Itsuki discovered a stone altar in the middle of a room and from one angle of the room a red light shone although dim it was noticable by Itsuki, Itsuki moved towards it and bent to pick whatever it was up,shaped liked a plant and covered in vines , the object that shone red light was hard as stone .
Itsuki tugged at it and.....
SNAP !!!
the vines cut and in Itsuki hand was a stone clover that had five leaves the clover looked dead but still shone with dim red light .
Then a growl came from another end of the room ,lamps magically turned on with fire lit the room and sitting before the alter was a A-rank spirit beast in the shape of a tiger it bloodshot eyes opened wide and fixed on Itsuki like tge eyes of a predator sighting it's prey .
Fear swallowed Itsuki and shock turned his body stiff the tiger crouched and snarled at Itsuki suddenly it moved its paws and fire claws sprang out from it and almost cut at Itsuki.
Itsuki's legs spoke as he was running around the entire room dodging fire claws ,unfortunately a claw cut through one of his limbs and left him handicapped .
Itsuki turned to look at one of his legs he couldn't feel anymore he saw a pool of blood around it and saw in a close distance his amputated limb he screamed in tears and that infuriated the A-rank spirit tiger it launched at Itsuki throwing him around the room Itsuki blood spilled around the room and he saw more of his body parts flying away from his body before he knew he already lied on the altar as if he were a sacrifice,he kept the clover he found in his right hand as he poured out more blood from his body, his thought raced - I don't want to die ! I want to see everyone again ! I don't wanna go leave everything behind ! - he looked into his right hand and saw the clover shine it's red light brighter than before now - atleast i found a clover before dying atleast i found my magic - Itsuki folded the clover in his hands and placed it on the left side of his chest .
The tiger had made another set of fire claws and put its paws over Itsuki ,tears ran down Itsuki's cheeks as he only saw faintly the world around him .
The cat had lunged at him with the fire claws and then Itsuki felt nothing again....
The fire claws cut him into two splitting his whole body into half , blood splashed around the room and then the last sound heard from the room wad the last of Itsuki's cries renting through the forest and it's surrounding.
He was dead !.....
