The man turned his gaze to Grey, a spark of curiosity in his eyes. "And you… You've managed to catch my attention. Interesting." Grey stared after him, his heart pounding. "Who… or what… is that?" The remaining people that were hiding out in small shops on seeing the portal open, they slowly revealed themselves to see who had come out of it. Even the remaining last Talonus, was seen standing around sizing the human up. That was when the people that were hiding started looking the man up. Especially his clothings and the emblem on it. He wore a long blue robe that reached his legs while the sleeves covered his hands. On the robe, there were two emblems on it. One of the emblems had a crescent moon symbol with an arrow pointing upwards, embedded within a circular border. The crescent moon was silver in color, while the arrow is a bright, fiery red. The circular border was adorned with tiny, intricate stars and has the academy's motto, "Scientia et Magia" (meaning "Knowledge and Magic" in Latin), inscribed in a elegant, curved line above the crescent moon. Then the second emblem was a silver coloured badge that was firmly planted on the right side of the robe. Which was shining brightly. The man stood around 5"9 tall with beautiful brown hair on his head with brown eyes and he also had a constant smile on his face especially while looking at Grey which caused the hairs on Grey's body to stand. *Yawnn!* The man yawned as he looked at everybody who were staring at the man with wide eyes. "Tha… tha… that's the captain of the Lunaria squad." The librarian from the crowd shouted. "The who?" Grey said out loud with a raised eyebrow. "He… he is the vice principal of the Lunaria magical academy and also the captain of the squads always dispensed by them for this type of issue." The librarian shouted in surprise. 'Lunaria academy? Never even heard of them. But this man, I can feel a powerful aura surrounding him. Although I don't know anything about them, I know one thing, this man isn't someone to be triffled with.' Grey thought worriedly. Then the man's eyes laid on the Talonus that was still about 2 metres away from him. And when the man's eyes laid on the beast, it felt like it was practically cowering in fear as it was seen slowly moving back. "I'm in no mood to prolong this fight, which is why I will need to get rid of you now." The man said as he lifted his hand pointing it to sky and then in a flash, he thrust it back down and a huge sword was seen descending down from the sky and dissecting the Talonus in one fell swoop. "What the hell!!!" Grey shouted in shock as he saw the amount of power the man exerted. 'My feeling was now wrong, th… this man is dangerously strong. I have a feeling that even if my mana wasn't depleted, and I decided to fight against him with all affinities, I will still lose.' He thought as he stared at the man worriedly. After defeating the beast, everybody were seen applauding the man excitedly as the demonic beast that was killing them, was now punished by death and everyone were excited.

The man turned away from the crowd and looked at Grey with his eyes all serious while Grey broke out in sweat looking at his eyes. 'This was the person that made Noir shake in fear, why is he looking at me like that? Do I have to fight for my life now?' He thought as he tried to gather his mana around his body but it all disappeared like a flash. "Darn! My mana has been completely depleted." He mumbled worriedly as he could see the man walking towards him with steady steps. And then, in a flash, the man was suddenly in front of Grey. "We need to talk somewhere private." The man said. And without warning, he grabbed Grey and they suddenly disappeared from where they stood in town. "Grey!!!" Clara shouted after seeing her son disappear. She quickly rushed down from the rooftop she was earlier along with the little girl and now, they were downstairs as Clara was constantly turning her head around. "Grey!! Where is my son?" She shouted loudly as she fell on her knees in the same spot where Grey stood earlier crying. Everybody were also confused by the man's behavior from earlier as they didn't know why he suddenly took Grey away. Meanwhile, after being forcefully taken away, Grey suddenly found himself appearing in the forest where he always trained. "Darn! What's with all these powerful mages always taking me away without my consent?" He shouted as he fell on the floor with force as if he was ejected from space. "Kid, we need to talk urgently." A voice was heard coming from Grey's side and he quickly stood up as he saw the mage from earlier standing in front of him. "Mr vice principal, why did you forcefully bring me here?" Grey asked with a raised brow. "Are you deaf or what? I just said I needed to talk to you." The man said shaking his head. "Talk to me? About what?" Grey asked. "I have some questions, and I want you to answer me truthfully without lying." The man said. "Alright." Grey said as he wanted to get the conversations over and done with quickly as he was feeling tired from his battle and his body was aching terribly. "You see, before I came here, I was watching what was going on in the town with one of our mages power and I could see you battling against those beasts on your own. You stood your ground and I was surprised that someone as young as you could do that." The man explained. 'So that's why he said I have caught his interest.' Grey noted in his head. "What interest me wasn't your resolve, it was your power. I saw a talent that could only be discovered in once a million years. From this young age, you are able to wield three elements so well which is surprising. And not only that, you got yourself a powerful familiar so quick." The mage said. "Shit, he noticed me!" Noir shouted inside Grey's head. "All I want to know right now is, what's your name and how old are you?" The man asked. Grey just sighed and decided to respond truthfully. "I'm Grey dawn and I'm fifteen years old." Grey answered. 'Dawn!?! He… his last name is Dawn?! Co… could he be the one?' The man thought as he was suddenly taken aback by Grey's last name. The man's attitude didn't go unnoticed by Grey as he raised an eyebrow in confusion. 'Was it something I said?' He wondered. "I see… well, I'm happy I discovered a once in a lifetime talent like you. So for that, I have an offer for you." "Offer? What offer?" Grey asked as he was suddenly intrigued. "It's an interesting offer that I'm sure you won't be able to resist." The man smiled.
