This is the world of divines, monsters and mysteries.
'What are divines?'
Some extraordinary individuals who have total mastery over their supernatural powers.
This is not magic and it's not like people other than divines do not possess these powers but divines are on a different level. I will be a divine too and then one day kenshin.
There are 97 kingdoms in this world
However, among them Novara is the largest and oldest kingdom. The kingdom where I live.
The emperor of this kingdom is called Kenshin, the man who protects the kingdom and has the highest authority in this kingdom.
I want to be the next Kenshin and change this kingdom for sure. That's why I am going to join the Arden corps college. The place where they train divines.
Now that I am 14 years old! I am in the perfect condition to attend college. Even though the minimum age requirement for the college is 12.
But they don't care about age. The only thing they care about is talent. "What I lack the most, After all I am a guardian."
In this world people are basically ranked with three classes called Spirit, Dharoak and Guardian.
'Spirit' is the first and the most respective class. Those who can manipulate elements and use them for battle are called spirits.
Second class 'Dharoak' is the category for those divines who fight with weapons such as swords.
At last, the third class 'Guardian'. Guardians aren't considered as fighters because the only power they have is the power of attraction.
They can attract anything towards them within a short distance. But this attraction is not powerful enough to use in a fight. They can only use this power to pull smaller objects towards them.
For example, they can attract small pebbles but not a big rock. That's why no one believes that a guardian can become devines too.Yet still, I wanna be a divine. I will find a way to become strong. That's why I am going to join the Arden corps college.
In front of a field with a broken house near the jungle…
"Are you sure you wanna sell this place?"
This is the place I inherited from my father. However, for 8 years I have been living in an orphanage. I lost my parents many years ago since then the orphanage took care of me.
However, for college fees and expenses I had to sell this place. The last thing that my parents left for me.
I have to sell it now but one day I will return to this place and will take it back. But for now, Orphanage head is helping me to sell it.
"What are you thinking? I suppose you really don't want to sell this place, do you?!"
"No,It's fine! I have decided how I wanna live my life. I don't want to be here forever even though it's hard. I wanna give it a try. After achieving a higher position as a divine I will return to this place!"
"Well then, since this place belongs to you I am leaving this to you whether you want to sell it or keep it."
Orphanage Head is strict yet a kind man. When I first told him I wanna sell this place he was surprised and told me to think again. Since it was the last thing from my parents.
But I am determined to do this because I have high hopes for me, I will prove that a guardian can be a divine too.
The orphanage head helped me with selling that place. Today is my last day in thr village. Tomorrow I will leave huena village.
My parents broken house is not very far from the village. "It will take around 20 minutes to return to the orphanage!"
In the orphanage besides the orphanage head there are two house parents.
One is Lucy, she is 23 years old. She was raised in the orphanage. After she grew up she took over the role of house parent. She was always kind to me.
Second one is Mr. Ogi. He is 36 years old. I don't know much about him since I didn't talk to him much.
It's not like Mr.Ogi is a bad person but the thing is I am introvert. I can't talk to others, that's why I have very few friends in the orphanage.
Orphanage Head, miss Lucy and Nel I only talked to these three people. Nel is a 5 years old kid! His parents left him to the orphanage as soon as he was born.I only managed to talk to him because he was a complete child when I saw him for the first time.
That's why I felt less comfortable with him. He calls me big brother! Tomorrow when I will leave I am sure he won't stop crying.
After reaching Huena village, In the Orphanage…..
As soon as Nel saw me, he ran towards me. "Big brother! I was waiting for you." I patted his head and replied "Did you? I am really glad."
I walked inside the Orphanage and the first person I saw was him. He gave me an angry look and left. His name is Ayan, he is one or two years younger than me.
Actually we are not quite good friends nor do we talk to each other much, that's why I don't clearly know. We are like we know each other because we live in the same place. Unlike me he is quite popular and handsome too.
"Fahim! you are back. Can you help with making dinner, please?" Miss Lucy asked me. I replied "Sure!" and went to help her make dinner.
While at work Miss Lucy asked "Hey Fahim you are leaving tomorrow, will you be able to live there all by yourself?". I said "I don't know but I will try. And what about Ayan? Is he still furious?"
Miss Lucy said with a soft smile "Don't worry! he will be fine in a few days!"
"I wish he would." Ayan is from Spirit class. The class that is considered as perfect for divines. Well there are 13 childs in this orphanage and 5 of them are spirits but Ayan is special.
He has fire divine art, a divine art that is perfect for battle. Even without training he learned how to control and use these flames. He is certainly a genius.
He deserves to go to college more than I do. But since he does not have money to pay the expenses he can't attend college. It's natural for him to get angry thinking someone like me is going to college but not him.
At night time after dinner…..
I was lying on my bed and Nel was playing beside me. I was thinking about tomorrow. "Will I be fine? People say that college is not for guardians! Is it really true? I sacrificed everything for this I have no choice but to be a divine"
"Big brother! What are you thinking?" Nel asked me. I replied to Nel with a smile "Nothing".
"Is it true big brother that you will leave tomorrow?"
"Yes! While i'll be away, be a good boy! Ok?"
"Big brother, why do you need to leave, can't you stay here with me?" With an innocent look he asked me.
"Do you remember the sweet we had when a visitor came here?*
"That black sweet?"
"Yes! That's called chocolate. You liked that, didn't you?"
"Yes"
"When I will return I will bring many of those chocolates for you!"
"Really?"
"Yes, It's a promise"
With a bright smile he said "A promise"
"Alright, it's time to sleep now Nel! Come here."
Suddenly a sound came! It must be the sound of devines who are fighting monsters. This is a primary task for a divine to defeat monsters. Divines has many more duites but this is the most common one. And that's how my last night in this orphanage ended.
In the morning…..
I woke up and packed everything, Although I didn't have much to pack.
I said bye to everyone before leaving or perhaps I should say I tried. I couldn't even say a word when everyone was staring at me.
On the eve of my departure Orphanage head, Miss Lucy,Nel and Ayan came to the gate to say goodbye. Other kids from orphanage does not have that kind of attachment with me that's why they didn't came to say goodbye.
Whatever, As I expected Nel was crying. However, Miss Lucy somehow took care of Nail.
Before I left orphanage head said "Fahim! this world is bigger than you can think. This village and the place you are going now are completely two different worlds. You will meet many people there and not everyone will be kind to you. I know you have a very low communication skill but try to talk to others and make friends. And if you ever feel like you want to come back you are most welcome, Take care child."
"Yes! I'll take care of myself and thank you for taking care of me all these years. Please take care of Nel while I'm away. Thank you for coming to see me off, everyone. Goodbye"
Saying this, I left the orphanage to start my journey. The journey of how a low class orphan like me will become a divine that never existed before in history.
