The next day was finally the day for the academy assessment and Grey was up early with all his belongings packed in a small backpack. He woke up even before his mum and Jesse as he was seen ready and waiting for something or someone when Clara walked into the living room along with Jesse as they heard noises in the house and then they remembered that it was today Grey would be leaving. When they rushed down, they suddenly froze as they kept staring at Grey who failed to notice them until Jesse's voice pulled him back to reality. "Arghhhhhh! What the hell happened? Am I still dreaming?" Jesse cried out as she kept staring at Grey weirdly. "Who are you and what are you doing here? Where is brother Grey?" "What do you mean by that? I'm Grey, a silly girl." Grey replied with a slight frown. "He definitely speaks and acts like brother but he is different." Jesse said when Clara walked forward with her mouth slightly open and pointing it at Grey. "Grey, what happened to your hair?" Clara asked as Grey touched his hair and then pulled a strand revealing that his usual red hair had now become brown. "Oh now I see the confusion." Grey chuckled as he tossed the strand of hair away. "I decided to cast a spell using rune magic to change my hair to the colour brown." "Why would you do that?" Clara asked. "Because I noticed that my red hair always brought attention towards me and I don't like it as people stared at me weirdly. So I did this and besides, I kind of miss my former brown hair." Grey replied. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Is this permanent?" Clara asked. "Unfortunately no. It is just temporary and would last for about six hours before I will have to recast the spell again or else my hair would go back to being red." Grey replied. "That's fine." Clara said and Jesse walked forward. "So you are brother Grey?" Jesse asked. "Of course you cutie pie." Grey smiled when a soft knock was heard on their door. "Who's there?" "It's me! The driver that lord Cedric sent to come pick you up and take you to the capital." A voice was heard replying. "So it's time for you to leave huh?" Clara asked with her eyes suddenly moist while Jesse began to cry her eyes out. "Unfortunately yes it is. I would have to leave now." Grey replied with a tear falling down his face. "Since you were born, you have never stayed far away from me and now, you would be leaving for an academy." Clara said as her moist eyes began dripping down tears. "I will really miss you honey." She said as she ran forward and gave Grey a tight hug while tears began streaming down her eyes rapidly almost like a waterfall. "I will miss you too mum." Grey said as the single tear that fell down from his eyes turned to a dozen as he couldn't help but feel emotional with tears also dripping down his eyes. "Brother Grey!" Jesse shouted with tears and snot falling down her face as she jumped up and gave Grey a big bear hug. "Please don't leave me." "Jesse." Grey called out softly while wiping a tear from his eyes. "I don't want to leave but it is important I do right now." "Wahhh!" Jesse cried more and then the knock came again. "Sir Grey, it's getting late." The driver called again. "Go away you mean uncle that wants to take brother away!" Jesse shouted with more tears falling down her face. "Jesse, let Grey go. It's for our good too as where he is headed, he will grow more stronger and then you can boast to your friends about having a superhero as a brother." Clara said. "He already is my superhero even without me boasting but I understand that it is important he leaves so." Jesse said as she gently came down from Grey's hands and wiped her face clean off tears. "I will let him go but make sure you make us proud and keep people's butt!" She smiled. "Sure I will." Grey said and then he took his backpack. "I will be leaving now." "Bye!" Clara and Jesse said at once and Grey wiped his face clean taking a step towards the door before turning back around. "Please take care of yourselves." Grey said. "We will." Clara smiled and then he opened the door walking out to see a middle aged man in front of him and looking behind him, luxurious carriage was seen with the town's crest of tiger's face of some kind. "Let's go to the capital." Grey said as he walked forward towards the carriage and got in while the driver walked forward and pulled the reins of the horse making it move forward. 'I can't believe I'm leaving mum. Although I left a few times by going to bronze land and the elf world but I knew I would get back soon and didn't stay for a month but now, I will be leaving and I don't even know when I will be back. Dad! I hope you are watching from above, please take care and watch over the family back at home and I promise, I will train harder than anyone to grow more stronger so I can come back and protect the Dawn family from any threat. Bye mum, bye Jesse and bye to Kiten town. When next I come here, I will be a force to be reckoned with.' Grey thought as he clenched his hands into a fist and the carriage sped off heading towards the capital where the rich, wealthy, higher star mages, powerful mages and most especially the emperor lived for Grey's assessment. ______________ {A/N} I hope you are all enjoying the story so far, so I want you all to please show your support to the book and let me climb the Webnovel rankings.
