[Child of Prophecy, rise and realize your potential to become the Saint, embody the power of the stars and 24 Zodiacs, will you accept your destiny as the illuminator of the dark skies and Saint of The Forgotten Stars?]
Accept Reject
Thoughts and emotions run rampant through Simon's mind, his emotions and thoughts tainting Simon's mind with despair and struggle, yet with his despair came a blessed hope.
"I accept... "
His voice came out hoarse, hollow, and pained. Simon left bruised and broke heard a collection of voices all saying the same thing simultaneously.
"Child, struggle with determination and a day will come where you will ascend and awaken, you are the Saint of the stars. So struggle and fight, never fall back."
That blessed hope materialized itself in front of Simon, he felt power enveloping him, a power he did not know.
"This power is different from the Veil and Mana... So just what is it?"
Simon's thoughts are interrupted by the screeching of the goblins, he snapped back to reality and he raised his staff.
"First time using magic in battle, round 2 this time I'm not backing down."
He infused his staff with the energy, the energy solidifies into a sphere then a disc, multiple copies of the disc flies into the horse and with one flight path a significant portion of the army is split into 2 parts.
"Holy shit... This is what power is?..."
The goblin knights finally respond with force and they raised their swords against Simon whilst the Shamans made a shield to protect the King.
Simon responded to the threat by making hundreds of small needles, and with one stike to the brain, all the fodder goblins fell to Simon.
The Goblin Knights took formation and one of them aimed for Simon's head, another aimed for his knees, the other three aimed for his back.
Simon made a block of energy on his neck, knees, and back. He slipped away with no damage, then he sent a small ball of energy flying towards the enemy's heart making it simultaneously combust.
The other 4 goblins are on guard, and they start playing it safe.
"Mrrrr, brah, shh"
Simon heard the goblins speaking, but he disregards it, he then again makes a small sphere flying towards another Goblin, but the others blocked it with their swords.
Simon backed off, but as he loocked back, a 5th circle spell [Pheonix' spirit] flew towards him, it is a fire materialized by the shape of a pheonix with high speeds.
Simon filled with new despair pondered on how to over come the situation, he analyzed again and again.
Until he realized the true shape of the energy.
Though it is a faint guess it was made off Fire, Ice, Light, Darkness, Gravity, and something else.
[System Management 50% done]
He used the Gravity of his spell to move him out of the way. And he succeded in doing so be looked around and saw the Shamans casting something.
"Now how can I- that's it dark magic. "
Simon used a spell blinding the knights and then used a curse making the knights bleed out.
The Goblin shamans countered with 5 different spells [Thunder Strike] a 3rd circle spell making him step back.
Simon notices something wrong as there were more mana readings, he looked down and saw [Ice spears] 1st circle spell, he jumped up thinking about his next move. But he felt hot he then looked up seeing a 9th circle spell [Fireball].
Simon quickly used all his energy making an ice shield around him, making the Fireball fade.
Just before he though it was over he saw the system screen display something.
[System Management Unlocked.]
[Zodiac of The Rat unlocked, 1st trait unlocked {Adaptation}]
He felt another surge of energy, he felt that he should use Dark magic and he sends a spell towards the shamans and they explode.
Simon then used his Gravity magic sending him at the back of the King and he fries the King's brain.
With that intense battle he falls unconscious.
And he tells on top of the mountain of bodies sitting unconscious, a sight to behold.
And within a few moments later Theron Blackthorn, a S-class and a professor of the academy rushed into the boss room expecting the dead body of students.
"Too la-"
He freezed from the shock, as the sight of Simon sitting on a mountain of corpses, others soon followed to behold the sight that is Simon Velthorne.
Theron is pulled down back to earth as he saw the quickly dying students, he commanded with a loud and authoritative voice.
"There is no time to be standing around, Healers he also the dying students, others gather up the corpses of the monsters, I'll be taking Simon back to the Infirmary, "
Theron reached out for Simon, but he was thrown back with a force he has never felt before.
"What is this kind of force? Are we witnessing the revival of a genius?"
A few days pass after the exam and Simon wakes up from his slumber, and he wakes up to a system greeting him.
[I greet you Simon Velthorne, I am the master of the first circle the Zodiac of the Rat]
Before Simon could process what the System window is saying he is interrupted by
By Theron going through the door.
"Simon, Good afternoon, I wanted to ask you something, or rather confirm something."
Simon, was worried that he might be in trouble, nevertheless he responded with a straight forward line
"Sure what is it professor?"
"We're you the one who defeated all those monsters? As we interviewed the others they, and all they said was that they were knocked out."
Theron followed up with, the question
"And if you were, how did you do so?"
Simon thought to himself, on how to explain how he did it but he suddenly had an idea.
And the System gave him an alert...
