"Why do you want me to kill this orange haired kid?" The man in the chair asked. He talked shit about the Red tears and started a fight with me." Frank said with an angry expression on his beat up face.
"How the hell did he break free from your mind crushing magic?" He asked Frank. "I don't know. It looked like it worked but before I could do anything else he just started rushing towards me.
The man thought for a while and then said. "Get some information on the kid and then we will strike. He could potentially be a threat."
"Yes Boss!" Frank said and left the room. "I wonder if he could be the one who inherited it. Then I just need to find out which part he inherited and who the second one is?" The black haired man said as his eyes turned red.

Art walked on the side walk when he saw the Pinevale cafe and sighed. "It's time" He mumbled and opened the door. When he walked inside he saw that Steven was the only one who stood behind the counter.
Art looked at him "Where are the others?" he asked and saw that Steven got a big smile on his face and pointed towards the break room. "I gathered everyone so you can go in and explain your situation.
Art nodded and walked inside. When Art opened the door he saw how everyone looked at him with worried expressions on their faces. "What did you want to talk about?" Carol asked with a worried voice. "I just want to explain my powers to you." Art said and started explaining.
It took around 20 minutes to explain everything. At first they didn't understand a thing except for Naomi who had heard that there was an immortal bird in some mythologies. After the world changed the people of the world stopped believing in unnatural beings as they became reality.
There were still some cults that believed in a god or another godly being but they would usually hold to themselves and not involve outsiders.
When he was done with his explanation he decided to show them so he transformed his arms into big wings and then shot fire out of his hands. Everyone was shocked at the realization that he was both a Beast and a Mage.
When everyone had asked one question each Naomi started to speak. "I think you are ready to go on your first mission." Art looked at her with excitement in his eyes and asked. "When am I going?"
"The best would be for you to go on Friday then you would have the whole weekend. Art nodded and left to help Steven in front. "My first mission I wonder what it's like?" When Art was done for the day he and Steven walked to their usual training spot. Steven looked at Art and said "Sit down." Art sat down but he thought that he would be running.
"Now that I know that you are a Mage and a beast we are going to change your training a little. First I want you to completely master mana control so that you can use your fire moves without the need to sit down and meditate every time."
Art nodded and asked "How do i do that?", "You just keep meditating and make your mana flood through your body until it's completely natural and your body does it on your own."
Art gulped as he heard the way but at the same time was excited to start.
"Now take 20 minutes and make your mana flood through your entire body." Steven said and looked at him with intense eyes.
Art did as he said and felt that he was getting better and better at controlling the flow of his mana but it was nowhere near perfection. After 20 minutes Steven said. "Now onto the Beast training."
"When you train your transformation you need to be able to see your transformation in your head. Now transform your left arm to a wing."
Art did as he was told and saw how the bar in his head was dragged to the top and his arm transformed.
Steven looked impressed and continued. "Now make both your arms half transformed." Art saw how the bars got to the middle and his arms were now feathery.
"Good! Now transform both your arms and fly." Art transformed his arms and started flapping them. Art flew up in the air and felt a little nervous but kept going upwards. Art was 20 meters high up and tried moving forward but it was harder than he thought and fell down 10 meters.
Art tried again and it was much better. He moved forward at an incredible speed. Art was almost faster than the cars on the highway. Art felt the wind in his head and felt that he almost lost control and crashed into a building but he didn't.
After 20 minutes of flying he got down on the ground again and saw Steven's impressed look. "Have you flown before?" Art remembered the time he tried his wings but he was just 2 meters above the ground which didn't count so he just shook his head and said no.
The rest of the training was the usual. Art felt a little more tired when he did it because of the Mage and Beast training he did before. After an hour he started going home. When Art walked the streets he saw that there were two people in red vests. "They are everywhere" Art mumbled and started walking faster.
The next few days were pretty uneventful and flew by fast. On the morning of Friday Art got a text from Naomi. "I'll meet you in front of your school when it ends."
Art sent a thumbs up back and got ready for the day. The day went slower than it usually did but eventually it ended and Art left to the parking lot. Art immediately recognized Naomi who was smiling and waving at him. When Art walked up to her
"Are you ready Art?" Naomi asked and opened the door to the car.
