Under the blue sky and white clouds on a sunny day, there lies a huge building.
Inside of them,there was a kid lying down on the table with the eyes closed. He sighed...
"huuuh, It's been 2 months already huh. There was no progress in my magic training".
Ryuma Ochirou. 16 years old
Since childhood, he has been fond of magic and has decided to become the best magician ever.
But, the reality hit hard. Since the flow of mana in his body is stuck and barely moving, it is quite hard for him to cast a spell like a fireball.
When you're 10, the parents send their child to the appraiser to check their child's attributes.
"Hooray, I've got a Fire attribute. What about you?"
"I've got a water attribute!!"
The parents were happy about what their child will become. The Swordman? or perhaps the Archer? Either way, it doesn't matter since it's the child's decision to choose what they'll become.
On the other hand, Ryuma was excited to know about his attributes. After the appraiser has done checking, he speaks...
"I'm sorry kid. I can't see your color, therefore I can't tell which attribute you have."
Ryuma, whose face was excited about 2 minutes ago, has now been showered with disappointment and immeasurable faces. He can't speak a word or look around. He can only look down and hear what other kids and parents say.
"I pity his father for raising such a failure like this."
"Hahaha! What are the chances for a kid with no attribute to be born?"
"Oh my god, what will that kid become when he grows up, I wonder. A beggar? Hihihi"
Ryuma heard all kinds of insults and pity from the child and parents. Yes, in this world people with no attributes will be treated as failures, with no hope and future. At least, that's what everyone thinks
And then, another child has walked onto the appraiser. The appraiser was surprised...
"I CAN SEE 4 COLOUR ON THIS CHILD!!!. LIGHT YELLOW, CYAN, GREY AND GREEN!!!"
"So it was... Light, Ice, Wind and healing magic!!!".
"OMG IS SHE IS THE HERO'S INCARNATION THAT SAVED OUR WORLD 1300 YEARS AGO?!!"
Everyone was amazed by this news. It was a once in a few hundred or maybe a thousand years this'll happen.
The child name was Naname Nochiri. The neighbour's daughter, whom he never talked to. Her own parents were hugging her tight and spoke, "I'm so glad you're our daughter". Naname smiles and hugs her parents back.
On the other hand, Ryuma was looking at her with envy. "Why is she the one who got it? Why am I the only one who didn't get anything?". Ryuma clenches his teeth, the water almost comes from his eyes and clenches his fists.
"Why, why only her?. Why didn't I get it?" Ryuma was angry and at the same time, furious.
"Why, why, whywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhy!!!" Ryuma almost can't see anything. By any second, his vision becomes darker. Ryuma almost passed out from all the stress and frustration.
And the hand reached his head."Ryuma, it seems there's nothing we can do here. Let's go home."
It was his father Irumi Ochirou. Ryuma was looking at his father. The water from his eyes comes out immediately. Ryuma wanted to hold off his voice but couldn't. At the same time, he wanted to walk but his legs gave out.
Thus, Irumi gives Ryuma his back and gives him a piggy-back ride. Under the dark sky, there are countless stars. They are on the way home, and Ryuma speaks to his father.
"Dad, don't you think so right?"
"Hm? about what?"
"Aren't you think I'm the failure too"?
"No, I don't think so." Ryuma raises his voice...
"Don't Lie!!! People around us have been speaking badly of you!!! People have been saying that I had no hope!!! NO FUTURE!!! Aren't you ashamed of getting a son like me?" Irumi then spoke.
"No? I'm never ashamed of getting a son like you. Moreover, you're the last gift she gave to me".Ryuma was confused.
"She?"
"Your mother."
"Oh..."
"Just think of this as a test God gave it to you. Look at those stars, there are countless colors in each star. But I noticed that among those million stars, there's one star that resembles us. The crimson star that shines brightly, brighter than other stars. And that stars, resembles our eyes. Our family's crimson eyes…" Irumi looked into Ryuma's eyes, who was currently clinging on his back.
"You are special. Of course, that applies the same for Rukagi and Uruka. Because, you three are my greatest gift I could've ever gotten…" Irumi said that as he gave a soft smile to Ryuma.
As second passed by, Ryuma was tired of today's event and soon fell to his tiredness, thus gently closed his eyes. The last thing he saw was only Irumi's back, which is wide enough for him to lean on as Ryuma goes into slumber.
…
"...uma, Ryuma!". Ryuma slowly opens his eyes."Oh Vesmon..., is it lunchtime?".
"Yes, if we don't hurry we'll run out of time."
"huh fine then. What's the lunch for today?
"Probably another Orc steak"
"Huh, Orc's fine too."
