Uhhh...i can't move...I can't open my eyes... I don't feel-anything. All I see is blackness-a void.

".........hello....." A subtle voice originated from behind me.

I turn around to see a white light. Suddenly my body shifts towards the light. 'What am I doing?' 'AHHHH' a bright light covers the black void....

"Uhh where am I?" I open my eyes. "Ugghh" I move my hand to run my eyes. Wait... I CAN MOVE. I quickly got up. "Thank god" I check to see any wounds on my body, I have everything. Then I look around me....this is weird. Why am I in the middle of a field? All I see was grassland stretching from all directions. "Where...am I?" There was nothing.

"Hmm hmmmmmhmm. Mmmmhmmm" a enchanting tone appears.

In response I quickly turn around hoping I found someone to answer my questions. What I saw was beautiful. A slender female dressed in a sun dress that touches the ground, she was dancing while humming with the most elegant voice I have ever heard. Even though I wanted to continue listening but...."excuse me miss, can you tell me where we are?"

She turn her body towards me and have me the most wonderful smile that will infatuate in mere seconds. "Why hello, I missed you my little bird"

Huh? What is she talking about? "Uhm I'm not a bird." Is she crazy?

"Your my little bird, now I must go" she dances away.

"HEY WAIT!!" I run towards her to grab her but suddenly I was sent further and further away back into the void. Then...I stopped moving...

"I REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AS MY BROTHER. I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE. HE IS A IDIOT FOR EATING A DEMON. I

WILL NOT HAVE ANY RELATION NOR WILL I ACKNOWLEDGE HIM HE WILL TAINT MY REPUTATION" a girl that yells in authoritative anger. "HMPH" a set of stomping sounds soon followed.

I hear something...I have yet gained my eyesight. I want to get up but my body isn't obeying. After about 30 minutes I regained control back over my body. At least most of it. "Man my head hurts..." I rub my eyes to get some debris out of the way. I pushed myself into a seating position. "So its night time huh"

"Just hand him the tray at least. I won't push you enough to talk to him, Eris” What sounded like Derecko replied.

"Fine but I will NOT speak to him. Just looking at him lowers my Intelligence BY THE SECOND"

Bursting through a door a girl in soft red hair swifts win and bluntly places the tray onto the desk. I see an eye of disgust in her eyes. She hastily runs out the room. "He looks dirty and inhuman"

"DONT SAY THAT"

"HMPH"

Suddenly A person I recognize, Derecko takes a seat in front of me. "I'm sorry you had to see that...my daughter doesn't like my sudden… family choices as you would say, I hope you forgive my daughters disrespect"

"It's fine, I understand, I would feel the same way if someone barges into our family as a foreigner" I stare at Derecko directly in the eyes.

"Hey Rave I wouldn't say 'barge in' I would say I swooned your mother like a eagle." We both laughed. " well I should let you rest...and try not to eat demons again"

"My bad I couldn't tell the difference" I sincerely apologize

"It's fine, since your alive. I don't want to cause your mother any complications. I think your mother is still teaching at a school so she doesn't know yet, but she will be here in a couple of hours"

"Thanks Derecko" he seems disappointed and he then puts a small smile on his face.

"Well I should go and continue my work." And he walks out. "And DONT leave"

Man he knows me too well. My legs are still paralyzed. Too pass the time I picked up my guitar and played a few stokes.

“let the wind guide me

Blow away the pain I carry

To the forest I live

To then my worries leave

I’m dreaming of the outside

I’m dreaming of the outside

...,.,

(I had a catchy tune, but I doubt I can simulate that soo uhhh enjoy the poem with some guitar music)

I stop there. I look around the room then the realization hit me "oh yeah, I'm going to school". I completely forgot looking at the books on the shelf. I crawl to the shelf and grabbed a few books off the shelf. "Basics of Magic", "Sword techniques", and "Types of magic". “Books for beginners huh” Well beggars can’t be choosers.

'Magic is the force that moves this world; it's what causes us to move. Keeps use alive and well. Source of magic mainly comes from nature which originally came from the sun' (Author: Magic= manipulated energy)'By focusing you are capable of using the magic in you and transfer it upon the outer world'

I look at my guitar "ok let's do this" I focus on using my magic to push the string. After a little while, *strumm* after my third try I did it. "Man that was...a lot of *yawn* energy" from there I passed out.I remind myself, I have school...

"Uuggghh, no not again" I see the sunlight coming through the window "curse you." Man I still haven't gotten used to the morning sun. I pull myself using the shelf. I hate the morning sun but FINALLY, my leg at least recovered last night.

"Raveyy, are you awake?"

"Yes mother I'm up" grateful that I finally get to see my mom.

She walks in observing my body "are you alright? Nothing bleeding out? Maybe a bruise, cut, wou-"

"MOM I'm fine jeez. No need to freak out. I promise" I assured her.

"*sigh* if you insist, anyways I believe today is your big day" she gives me a warm smile.

"Yep today is the day schools are accepting applications for students" replied proudly

"Good and remember everything I taught, oh look at the time- I must go teach the next generation" she exclaims proudly and scurries off.

Few minutes later I rushed to the guild center where applications are behind held. As I walk to the front desk-

"Please fill the paper and sign below and bestow 50 gold if you wish to attend this year" I quickly fill it up and sign everything and hand the stressed lady the gold.

"Please go to the next room to take your physical and magical exam." The lady says in a rude manner

When I walked inside I was immediately place into a chair. From a far a doctor comes to me in a exhausted pace. I feel sorry for him…

"Lift your arm and hold still" he grabs a needle and took a sample of blood. After finishing the procedure, he left and came back soon after. Without a glance he tosses a card and writes a few things in his pad. As I grab it, it becomes absorbed to my skin.

"Huh?" I was wondering where the card was.

Doctor noticed my confusion he rolls his eyes and says "Listen kid, focus your hand an your card will appear, it will tell you your strength and magic capability in terms of ranks. Ranks range from 1 to 10, 10 being the strongest, got it? Go back to the receptionist to choose your classes" He left angrily to attend another student and to do the same procedure.

Following doctors’ orders I go back to the receptionist, "Excuse me which building is for beginners?"

"This is your first year, correct? you must register into the school and choose your sub classes-and remember each class has a rank requirement" she hands me a list of all classes and hands me a feather pen.

Scrolling through I decided on a few. "I'd like to choose Human Anatomy(R.1), Origin of Magic(R.1 MQ), Sword techniques(R.2 Strength), and Body Flow(R.3)"

"Alright here's your schedule."

CLASSESOrigin Theory of MagicRank 1 Magic Q.Human AnatomyAny RankSword TechniquesRank 2 StrengthBody FlowRank 3 Strength[center]

My Card: Spoiler : Identity Card[quart=Character name,Age]Rave,15[/quart][quart=Strength Rank,Class]1,Undecided[/quart]

“Well, I should go.” My first class is...Magic Origin. After a few minutes I manage to find it in a dark corridor.

"Your late, take a seat in the front" a Middle Ages women points to the front.

"Yes Ms.Theades" I quickly followed.

And so my horrid day begins mostly because it was a waste of time. Usually on the first day you get introduced to all your teachers. So we didn't get to learn much, after lunch I went to the library to study a bit more. "Magic Derivatives...Magic Transfer...History of mages and warriors" I quickly just grab 'Magic Transfer' mostly because of the colorful cover.

The method Magic Transfer requires the user to move magic power into an object. Due to the magic it will start to heat up, if you take away magic power it will turn to ice.

I grabbed a pencil and started putting magic into it "WOAH" a fire breaks up. I then started to take away magic. The pencil freezes instantly. "This is awesome..." Then I thought of something..."is air an object?" I started manipulating magic around my arm. Focus....focus....I learn in Body Flow to relax, so I started putting magic in the air that surrounds my arm. "Did it work?" I open my eyes. I quickly got up, because around my arm were rings of fire around my arm. In my other arm I decided to do the same thing, this time icicles formed around. I made sure it was icicles because a ring of ice would be practically useless. I looked at my gauntlet , man it depressed me knowing this type of magic made my obsolete. Suddenly I hear scurrying across the library. In an attempt to find out who it was I started chasing. "WHO ARE YOU?!?!" DAMN IT that person is too fast. Eventually she led me to the entrance of the library, damn she escaped...I hope this won't put a damper in things.

This routine between classes and reading in the library got me to learn a lot of things. I also travel to the Coliseum where students settle bets by dueling. I noticed people with flame throwers and big ball of ice mostly. I envy their MQ. Even though I manage to use magic it was terribly weak compared to others. Man I feel weak; at least I have average strength.

"MAN classes are getting tough" a kid naturally sleeps on the bench. "How are you doing so far, mate?"

"I guess I'm doing all right, I'm not doing so hot in my magic studies." I turn around in response to notice a kid carrying a lasso.

"Really? What's your school rank so far?"

"4950/5000" I regret telling since mine is REALLY bad compared to most people"

"OI that's so low even I'm 3215/5000 rank and its bad, by the way aren't you in my 'Body Flow' class? Why do you have magic classes if you are in a warrior class? It’s a waste of time to take both if you are only gonna end up being one anyways." He sits next to me on the same row.

"Well you could say I am interested in Magic in general, but I am hoping to raise my MQ." I talk a bit lower knowing I revealed how weak I am to someone.

Noticing this “dude don't worry about it so much. Everybody is weak from the start….your name iiiiis..." He ponders

"Rave Sholto Silvester" I quickly replied

"Do you mind if I just call you Raven? You remind me of those because you are silent, especially in class" he nudges me and chuckles bit

"Hehe yeah I am a bit quiet, but that's just because I'm trying to focus on my studies"

"Well since we have the same class you. An always ask me. I'm pretty good at the nature of the body. And by the my name is Harrison Forge and I hope we get along, anyways I got to get to class"

"Likewise" I pick up my belongings and went to Ms Theades class again. This time we were learning about how we are able to manipulate magic in the first place. To be honest this was the only class I was able to learn anything magic related. Otherwise my other teachers involved in strength and body is taught by coaches, just thinking about it made my arms drop. Man I am glad Ms. Theades teaches Human Anatomy and Magic Origin so I don't have to move much around the school. I noticed Eris Sytes talking to what is possible her friends. She stares at me and looks away in ignorance. Man she definitely hates my guts, but I can see why. I quickly walk to class.

“Today class I will teach you where and how magic leaves and enters our body-” she writes all the information on the board and in the other hand she holds a book open.

“Teacher we don’t care, just teach us your ability alreadyyyyy” A student in the back is begging.

In response the whole class replied the same way “Yeah teacher, just teach us your ability we don’t care about the basics, we already know. Just teach us the ability that will make us invincible”

I just stay silent and write down everything word for word on the board. Knowing the spoiled rich kids, they just want to learn the teachers ability rather than actually tending to their studies.

“You brats….I will NOT teach that ability, It is DANGEROUS so I will not teach any of you.” However in response the kids still will not budge from their statement of learning her ability. She storms out of the room furiously.

All the students moan in despair “I’m gonna change class if she won’t teach us that ablity” “yeah I agree I heard it’s so dangerous it killed a dragon, but if she won’t teach us I don’t see a reason staying here” “Well it looks like it’s not happening soon so what classes you guys signing up next time” with that all the students left.

I was still writing everything on the board, trying to get everything down in my notebook. Huh so there our blood flow moves magic from one place to another. I grab the book she was originally holding and started reading it. “Blood flow…pressure points?” I started reading further “So pressure points are parts of the bodies where if constrained can be lethal as it blocks the flow of the magic. There are pressure points on the wrist and back of the neck. If constricted could lead to unconscious of the person”. MAAAN I stretched my body in every single possible bend….I should get back to the receptionist and register for a dorm.

“Uhhh miss…”

“Room 123, 3rd floor” replied instantaneously

“Ok…” She is a bit rude although I can see why due to all the new students.

I find my room and walked inside….”Harrison?”

“HEY RAVEN, HOWS IT GOING? I sure didn’t expect you to be my roommate.” He makes a sincere smile.

“Same here , this is quite the coincidence.” Man at least I have a friendly roommate. I’m quite glad.

“Anyways I noticed you got a guitar, you should play a tune for me. Like definitely should, like positively, like now” He stares at me with eyes of a beggar.

“…Fine, I will play a few” I was reluctant but I picked up my guitar and play a few tunes.

After a while of me playing-

“That’s a relaxing tune” he lazily says

A long silence continue while I play. “Tell me Raven, do you have dream or something?”

“No I don’t think I have the freedom of such things, but if I do..... It would be great to see my old hometown become a prosperous city.”

“That’s quite a noble,,,*yawn*…dream “ Soon enough he closes his eyes and sleeps on the floor.

I continue to play a few strums...

“I walk in the morning light

Just to make my mind-seem clear

I’m dreaming of the outside

Down the ground and up the sky

Dreaming of the outside…”

I look outside, “I should get working.” From my guitar, I bring out the . I have yet found a use for this and no merchant was willing to buy it and probably is the item that I ever had in my life. I carefully put it back in my guitar as it serves no uses to my current knowledge. I grab my mask from inside the guitar, my , and jumped out of the window. “So where should I go…” As of now most of the greedy nobles added a few guards ever since my presence was known, so there’s a bit more risk involved. Maybe today I should visit the central bank. “Let’s do it…”

After a couple of minutes I managed to find the back exit of the bank…underground. I guess it makes sense in a way. “Man it smells” I quickly put my mask on my nose in hopes of dispelling the scent. “Get in-take-get out-get in-take-get out”. Alright after I find the entrance to the bank I slowly open a slit of it to find it really dark. I spot for any object at may look like it contains money, as well as for any people that may be lurking around. After a couple of minutes I noticed a safe behind a portrait. I grab out a few needles from my and started pick pocketing. Hopefully I won’t have to use Derecko’s family money. “One….two….three…almost th-“ *Bonk*

…Where…am i?

“Good evening there ‘Demon Eyes’, How do you do?” A voice of authority is sounded throughout the room.

I stay silent, I also realized to magicians off to the side that are continually freezing my legs in place.

“Silent are you now? It’s fine. Right now I am quite furious with you because you have caused quite the commotion among the nobles and I, Duke Sytesque, am the leader of the national guards, so not only are you forcing me to sell my guards to protect nobles, but you are also filling my schedule.” He stares me in my eyes.

…

“Still not speaking huh…fine have it your way TAKE OFF HIS MASK!!! Let’s see what is behind this mask of yours” With his aggressive authority the two mages on the side start pulling my mask off.

…

It took a while but when they finally took my mask off. A wry smile appears on his face “All of you leave me alone with this man.” Once his servants leave, he brings a chair and sits right in front of me. “So you are Raven correct? My brothers new addition to his family.”

I immediately send magic around my arms and fire circles and ice shards appear.

“GUARDS” he immediately reacts.

“KUUH” I see spears running through my legs. I still manage to maintain the fire rings and icicles around my arms.

“Interesting…Alright guards you may leave, I can take it from here.” Once all the guards leave he goes back into his seat. “I see you have quite the control of your magic, I have seen many people do similar, but yours is quite high.” He stares at me. “still not going to say anything? Fine, I’ll have you know that I am currently sending supplies and money to your old hometown. So if you don’t talk then I may not tend to your home anymore. Do you understand?”

Reluctantly “Fine…”

“Good I have your attention. Now although you are family, I still need to do my job against those of the condemned. Then again since you are family I will make a deal” His voice goes soft.

I look up to him and ask “What is the deal?”

“Hmm you are quite straightforward huh? *Sigh* Alright here is the deal, you work for me and I will fund you and continue funding your town BUT you must follow my EVERY order with no hesitation. Do you agree? If you don’t agree I must send you to prison so…” He awaits my answer.

Without speaking, I dispel my magic but before I shake his hand, “I agree to your deal, but in return my masked identity shall never be disclosed to anyone, especially my mother.”

“Agreed” Both of us shook hands on it.
