Chapter 5 - Chapter # 05

They all then went and sat in a silent and a bit cold living room with the tea placed on the table. Mr Rosswell said, "Let me start the fire. It's a bit cold in here", but Gon interrupted and said, "Allow me to do it, this would be the best way to start the explanation"

Gon stood up from the sofa and moved near the chimney and after a moment of silence he moved this hand forward and opened the palm of his hand. Suddenly a black magic circle appeared in his hand and he said, "Dark Arts First Verse; Black flame" and a small ball of black fire appeared on top of the magic circle and he threw it in the chimney in which a large black flame arose and warmed the whole room "This is" said Gon, "Who we are James, who you are"

"What was that?" thought James. A number of questions blew in the mind of James like fireworks. Then Miss Zabel said, "Magic is real James, and you can use it. That was the reason why the letter appeared earlier this morning. Pelmion is an academy that teaches teenagers like you who have potential in magic to control it. There is a whole society of mages(male) and sorcerers (female) that live and the world is clueless about it"

Then Gon said, "Pelmion's main objective is to sustain magic in the world and to train people so they can help protect this world. Like magic, magical beasts also roam in this land and we have to remove them from the world's sight. UFO sighting, sea monsters, ghosts. are the sightings of magical beasts but the council has the duty to hide them". Then Miss Zabel continued, "And as for your parents, the were great in their fields; the best of the best. They sacrificed their lives and protected it from such an evil," her voice darkened "that would have caused the end of this world"

There was now a long silence in the room and only the crisping sound of burning wood in the black flame. People, after knowing this reality would have been shocked, or amazed, or confused but for some reason tears started raining down from James's eyes. "Why.... Why am I crying?" thought James. Mrs Rosswell sat beside him and hugged him, "It's gonna be okay. Everything is going to be all right". Then Gon stepped forward with the letter in his hand and said, "Well it's your own open choice whether you want to come to Pelmion or not" He handed the letter to James and continued, "But I've had my eye on you for a while now and I noticed that you are pretty lonely and have no friends. There will be a lot of beginners who will leam with you and some are even like you who haven't even heard of magic until this letter is dropped on their doorsteps. You will be able to make FRIENDS there".

Friends, this word cleared James's mind and he opened the letter. He read the letter in which it was written that he was chosen as one of the students who will enroll in the Pelmion academy this session. Each session includes a 5-year coarse teaching magic therefore everyone is a beginner. Each student can bring a luggage of household items like clothes and other essentials as there will be no uniform, just a cloak. On the backside there was a list of books and items including potion making items and crafting items as these two will also be teach along with magic and at the last, there was a rune drawn and a label underneath.

And lastly there was a box on the corner and in it there was written;

Gon interrupted and said, "You don't have to bother with that last page. Your late parents had prepared everything. They strongly believed that you would be chosen". He paused for a few moment and said, "So James, what's your decision?"
