《I Will Be Recognized》5. Sam

"You alright?" The dark haired boy extended his hand to me.
I ignored the hand and got up by myself.
"Thanks." I said, as I started walking away. Even though he was trying to help me, I was too embarrassed to face him.
'How did I trip?'
"Hey, my name is Daniel. And you?" He said as he came up next to me.
Staring at him, he looked to be the same height as me so he was probably also the same age as me. It was embarrassing for him to see me trip and plant my face head first into the ground so I was hesitant whether to respond to him or not.
"Sam." I simply said.
"Sam huh. You wanna be friends?" Daniel said to me.
A friend... I thought he would be disgusted because I had different hair than others in the village.
"You don't mind my hair color?" I asked.
"Haha, I don't support discrimination. Why would I care? Beside, I think your blonde hair suits you!" He said, pointing his thumbs up with a grin on his face.
'Disc-riminat-ion? What was that?' I inwardly thought. He must be really smart to know about these long words.
"Sure, let's be friends." I said.
'Mom, I finally made a friend.'
All the other kids at the village were 2-3 years older than me so it was a bit hard to fit in. Adding the fact that they didn't like my blonde hair, none of them wanted to be close to me.
My family only consisted of my mother and I so it was lonely at times.
—Daniel's PoV—
It has been 5 years since I started practicing Magic Circulation. My father even took it upon himself to start training me in swordsmanship two months ago. Anne was against it at first but after seeing my eager attitude, she had no choice but to allow me.

I hadn't even seen a real sword until I came to this world so of course I would be excited. Right now, I was in the middle of swinging the metallic practice sword.

Having practiced controlling magic particles for 5 entire years, my magic realm was raised to the Beginner Mage Apprentice realm. Ever since I reached this realm last year, it looked like I had reached a bottleneck. No matter how much Magic Circulation I did, other than the technique leveling up, I would not breakthrough to the next realm.
My level of Magic Circulation should be pretty good for my current magic realm. Even though I was technically ready for magic spells, the shop did not sell them so I didn't exactly know what to do.
On the other hand, I had more time to learn about the world. There was apparently a Magic Knight Academy at the capital but it was mostly for aristocrats. Though uncommon, Father Davis said that there were commoners who were extremely adept at an art that were accepted. If my hunch was right, they should teach magic spells there as well so entering the Magic Knight Academy should be my first priority.
It was also about time that I figured out what this curse was. I had amassed a hefty sum of Merit Points during the years.

People believe in what they can see. They believe that all Weeping Angels are bad and they just want more years lost to feed from. Well you are correct, except there is one exception. Because Weeping Angels can think and feel. You see, I'll go back to the original statement. People believe in what they can see. They see Weeping Angels as aliens, but they're not. While they are from another dimension, they're not an alien life form. But instead they are a Heavenly one. A celestial being wrapped in stone. They are the very divine power of God who had been struck down and their Grace turned to stone in order to preserve itself.The thing is, Sam has to figure this out on his own. Or will he have help from a certain Trickster?
