A year… a year had already passed since when Grey became a mage and a 3 star at that. He was 15 years old when he unlocked his magical affinities and now, he was 16 years old. During the previous months after returning from bronze land, he and his family had moved to their new house. The house had four bedrooms with a spacious living room furnished so beautifully and they were able to eat whatever they wanted. In these previous months, Cedric always came to visit once a while and due the Clara's good nature, he bonded well with the family. Grey didn't waste all those months doing nothing, he trained hard every single day and now although he couldn't advance to the next star, his affinities were now strong enough to best any foe he encountered. His stats after using his appraisal skill were these: <Name: Grey Dawn> <Status: 3 star Mage> <Mana: 60/60> <Elements: four> {<Wind: 35> Colour grade: blue} {<Earth: 40> CG: yellow} {<Fire: 37> CG: Purple} {<Lightning: 15> CG: Blue} His wind magic increased over the months from repeated usage while his Earth magic also increased after absorbing the core he got from the quadrog. His fire magic also didn't lack behind after his trip to the volcano enduring hot magna and heat which therefore paid off in his increase in the affinity. His lightning magic was still low as the criteria to increasing was very difficult. One had to endure and practice in a place with strong thunderstorm. Or a place with high lightning activity. He managed to increase the attribute from 10 points to fifteen after practising on a day of a strong thunderstorm. But after that day, no thunderstorm occured again so his magic lacked the increase but other than that, his total mana pool also increased and now, Grey was confident of taking on any foe as long as they weren't too powerful. Today, Grey and his family could be seen dressing up nicely with Grey wearing a black blazer with golden trims and Jesse was being dressed up by Clara in a beautiful blue dress while her hair was neatly braided. Clara also decided to wear a matching dress with Jesse after she begged her all day so now, they were finally done. Finally ready as they could be seen looking handsome and beautiful together. "I can't believe lord Cedric is doing this for us." Clara said as she admired herself in the mirror. "Which isn't necessary though as it's just a waste of time." Grey replied as he adjusted his blazer and swept his red hair back neatly. "Why isn't it? You have never had the opportunity to celebrate your birthdays before and now, you are finally sixteen, you definitely have to celebrate it." Clara said. As when lord Cedric had found out that Grey was clocking sixteen soon, he offered to throw a party for him while inviting rich nobles and influential people from other towns for the party. "But the party would also draw unnecessary attention towards me which I dislike." Grey scoffed. "C'mon brother Grey, stop being a party pooper and let's go." Jesse said as she was excited to experience a grand party. "Fine." Grey said as the walked out of their beautiful house and when they stepped out, they could see people moving around from their houses to different places. 'This neighborhood sure is different. I remember when we were in our run down house, there were barely any people walking past but now, I see people everyday. I guess this neighborhood is for the upperclass huh.' Grey thought as he looked behind them as their small bungalow house that was painted white with silver at some points. S~eaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. 'Even with spending so much in getting the house and furnishing it, a lot of money is still left. I guess 5000 gold coins sure go a long way.' he chuckled as he surrounded himself along with Jesse and Clara with wind magic and in an instant, they shot off flying towards lord Cedric's mansion at a decent speed. Within five minutes, they were there as they walked into the hall that Cedric always used for occasions like these. The party was set to start in the evening around 6pm so the guest of honor needed to be there early and so here he was at 6:05pm as Grey walked forward into the hall that was decorated beautifully with different types of people all dressed nicely and wealthy for the occasion. Clara and Jesse admired the huge hall and the people that were there. Lord Cedric who was on a high podium came down to greet the Dawn family as he led them to the podium. Clinging his glass, everybody's attention was turned to the podium. "May I have your attention everyone?" And silence descended on the hall as everybody kept quiet to listen to what Cedric had to say. "Thank you! I'm glad that I invited you all and you decided to honor my invitation to join me in celebrating the pride of Kiten town as he clocks sixteen today." Everybody clapped together and Cedric cleared his throat so as to continue what he wanted to say. "This party isn't only to celebrate Grey's new age, but to celebrate his new phase in life. As well know, when young ones clock sixteen, they are eager to join a magical academy and the same is with Grey as he will be heading to the capital in order to take part in the annual academy assessment tomorrow where if passed, he would be allowed into one of the four prestigious academy." Hearing this, everybody applauded loudly as even considering to take part in the assessment was a brave enough thing because for an individual to pass the difficult assessment was rare to come by especially considering that peasants didn't really stand a chance. Max and Charlotte could get in after passing the assessment because they were born of noble blood but knowing that Grey would be going there, they thought he was brave and wished him luck. Maybe, just maybe, he would pass and make Kiten proud as the first peasant to get accepted in a noble academy. "So hence this party which will double up as a send-off party for mage Grey as he would be embarking on a new journey tomorrow so cheers to that!" Cedric said and everybody shouted at once. "Cheers!" And then the party continued with Grey having a discussion with Cedric and after that, they went to enjoy the party together as games were played, competition was done and many other things that would make the part enjoyable were done. Jesse along with Clara enjoyed themselves a lot and after a few hours, the party was now drawing to an end as everybody all went back to their houses while Grey was anticipating the next day which he would be taking the test.
