4. The Legion
The world of Arcadia was special indeed, it consisted of a vast number of magical
creatures and beings , Along with the energy of Mana in the world it was bound to create
strong organisms
With strong organisms come a power struggle, This struggle creates a hierarchy, And
currently on the top of this hierarchy exists The Legion
The strongest kingdom on the planet known for it's arsenal of hunters and mages who
could Clear S rank dungeons by themselves
Of course even in this world the idea of blood purity remained , And Mana being a
genetically influenced power didn't help get rid of the idea
That is why if anyone were to ask
"Who is the strongest Family in the world?"
The answer would be the Ashborn family, Who's hereditary powers Consist of All 4 of the
Main elemental powers
Fire, water, wind, and earth
And on rare occasions children with very powerful mana affinities would be born, Maybe a
mutation of their father's fire Mana or a combination of both their parents affinities
Of course there were instances where a child would be born with little to no mana, This
phenomenon would be described as a Godly Restriction
There was a time where children with 0 mana were ridiculed, referred to as a waste of
space
But about a Century ago Dr James Urquhart, A very famous mana researcher discovered
that those who possessed individual mana were incapable of absorbing mana from their
surroundings
While those who possessed no mana seemed to naturally absorb their surrounding mana
in very minute amounts
But when the body was put in constant training the surrounding mana would be attracted
to the body In large amounts
This attraction of Mana to the body vastly increased the physical strength and senses In the
body
It was also discovered that this form of power was not genetic
Instead a very high amount of training was required to advance here
Now you may be wondering why wasn't this discovered sooner?
There must have been one Manaless human who discovered this vast increase in strength?
Well that was because most Manaless individuals didn't live well past the age of 14
Some succumbed to social torment
While others were executed for being considered a "freak of nature"
This was how the category of hunters were formed
They had three subclass
Fighter's: Experts in hand to hand combat
Assassin's: Experts in stealth and weapon wielding
Tank's: Experts in Defense
Each of these classes could go on to advance from
Rank 1
Rank 2
Rank 3
Special Rank 1
Special Rank 2
High Special Rank
God rank
As for Mages it would be :
Grade 4
Grade 3
Grade 2
Grade 1
Semi Grade 1
Special Grade 1
Special Grade 2
God Grade
Currently only 2 God ranked beings existed in the world
A God rank Mage
And a God rank Assassin
Both are members of the Ashborn family
Currently there was a meeting going on at the Legion
Inside a very large hall 10 people could be seen sitting around a round table
And one of them was Currently speaking to a prism that was projecting something into a
screen
"And you are positive this new "beast" is one of the mythical beings?" asked a very grim
looking man as he stared at the screen
It could be described as "Chaos"
Several Members of the Legion could be seen being murdered by a... teenager?
But this was no ordinary teenager, he seemed to possess a vast array of abilities
This could be a problem the Chief thought As he stared at the screen A feeling of unease
creeping in
"Well as you can see a new threat has entered our world, and it is our duty as the members
of the legion to protect this kingd-
*Cough* *Cough*
"Yes Mrs Voldegauld?" the man replied as he turned to look at the woman who interrupted
him
"As much as we appreciate your pep talk Gauss it would be lovely if you could get to the
point" the lady in purple interjected as she pointed her long dark finger at Gauss
Guess someone's still a bitch Gauss thought As he tried to suppress his annoyance
"All of the people in this room will be dispatched to take care of this problem"
"All? Well I don't exactly see "All" the members here, what happened?, Are the top 2
assholes too busy to help us out?" said the man with a hint of sarcasm who was sitting right
opposite to Gauss
Oh for fucks sake thought Gauss as he locked eyes with Immanuel
"They have already been dispatched to the island and are awaiting further orders" Gauss
replied back already expecting the reaction of his peer
"ALREADY BEEN DISPATCHED??, What the hell is the meaning of that, just because they
are a higher rank than us?, they get special treatment?, what about us then, Are we not high
ranking hunters?" Immanuel shouted out as he slammed on the table
Some members Jumped in shock while the others were reading the report
"I don't call the shots around here Immanuel, if you have a problem take it up with the
Admiral" Gauss replied back with a clenched jaw as he got up from his spot with a Stern
look
"And no it's not special treatment, it's called surveillance" Gauss replied as he started
walking off to the Exit
"b..but I.. WHATEVER! Go Kiss their asses as much as you want to, I Immanuel will not
stoop to that level" Immanuel said as he stood up with such force the chair he was sitting
on was launched into the air
Other members looked bored as they almost dealt with this everyday
Before the chair could even hit the floor it suddenly stopped and floated back into it's place
"don't be so angry Immanuel, besides at the end of the day it's all for the good of the
Legion" the lady sitting right next to Immanuel responded with a smile as she used her wind
Magic to place the chair back
The tension almost instantly left the room
"Yeah? Well fine only because it's you saying it I'll allow it" Immanuel responded back with
a blush on his face As he too started to go towards the Exit
"We'll be leaving in 30 minutes, Get ready and meet up at the lords quarters, he has
something to share with us" Gauss announced as he left the chamber
All the members stood up as they left solemnly
Except one person who looked almost crazed, her eyes wide and her breathing getting fast
as a wide blush formed across her face
"I have been waiting for so long...Master" she whispered out as she sat staring at the image
Out in the middle of the vast ocean, high above in the sky, A huge dragon could be seen
flying forward with terrifying speed it's wings blowing away the clouds around it
its streamlined body adorned with shimmering scales that could be seen shining as the
sun rays hit it, a large symbol on the body resembling a bolt could be seen aswell
"Don't you just love it when she gets this riled up" Said a man who was sitting on the
forehead of the dragon admiring the view, the feeling of the wind on his face and the sweet
smell of sea water
"Well it has been ages since we've allowed Stormbolt to roam this freely, of course she'd be
happy" A man laying down on the head of the dragon responded as he affectionately
rubbed the dragons head
Stormbolt roared loudly as she started flying even faster
"it's been some time since I've fought a strong beast, this is gonna be fun" said one of the
men said as he stood up stretching out his body A green aura emanating off of him
"Hell yeah especially because I want to try out my new move" said the guy sitting on the
dragons forehead as he weaved his fingers infront of him, the space around him visibly
bending And shimmering like water
