"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. "Well, what is it?" Grey asked feeling impatient. "I'm Amir, the vice principal of Lunaria academy and also the squad captain and I want you to join Lunaria academy. This… your power is not something someone will come by everyday. You are a one in a million genius. And I want to quickly snatch you up before the others find out." Amir said said. "Others? Who are they?" Grey asked. Amir sighed. "Young mages and not reading… The others I am referring to are the other academy or squad." Sёarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "There are other academy?" Grey asked genuinely surprised. Amir just did a short laugh. "Did you think there will only be one? If it was only Lunaria academy, then we would have become overwhelmed by emergency calls already. As you know, we don't only teach the young ones, each of the academy go out on quests and missions like this one I was called out for in your town." "That makes sense." Grey nodded along. "As you are now, you are too young to join so I want you to join in a year time. All the academy come together every year to organize an assessment for young ones like you to see if you are all worth being in the academy." Amir explained. "So what's your response to my offer?" 'Hmm!' Grey sighed in his head. 'That's a lot to take in. Although I really want to stay low and not expose myself to the world just yet, there are a lot of benefits in all what Amir said. One of them is these.' <Name: Grey Dawn> <Status: Mage> <Mana: 10/55> <Elements: Three> {<Wind: 28> Colour grade: blue} {<Earth: 35> CG: yellow} {<Fire: 30> CG: Purple} 'My wind attributes has increased after repeated use and I'm sure it is now stronger than before. But my fire affinity is still in the lower points because I haven't had the opportunity to increase it. So if I were to join an academy, we might always be called on more missions and along with my affinities getting stronger, I would also be flexible in my use of them.' he thought. 'And maybe, just maybe… I would be able to unlock another magic.' he smiled at this thought which didn't go unnoticed by Amir. 'I can't believe that a kid like him as three great magical affinities. If he could join Lunaria academy, it will be a huge boost in our strength and we could also manage to one up the other squads and gain more favour in the Emperor's eyes.' Amir thought with a slight smirk that was not noticeable. "I have a question though." Grey spoke up dragging Amir from his thoughts. "I am not really stable financially. I mean, we are in the lower class of society, so how am I supposed to afford to even participate in the assessment?" "That shouldn't be a problem. With my recommendation, you should be allowed to take the assessment no problem." Amir replied. "In that case then, I accept your offer." Grey smiled. "Good! Fabulous! See you in a year's time then." Amir smiled and a portal opened up in front of him. "Wait! What about me!" Grey shouted and Amir turned back towards him. "One more thing. How much do you know about that familiar of yours?" Amir asked. "Huh? You mean Noir?" Grey asked then he began rubbing his chin. "I don't really know much about it, we just fought and then it said it wanted to attach itself to me. And seeing it's powers, I accepted in a heartbeat. It hardly talks to me so I know basically nothing about it just that it's powerful." Amir just sighed. "I thought so. A word of advice, when you get to the academy's gate, make sure it doesn't come out or else…" he said and the he stepped through the portal totally disappearing from view while it snapped shut behind him. "Wait! Or else what?!" Grey shouted but there was no response. "Darn all these powerful mages and always keeping me in suspense!" He screamed. "Noir! What is he talking about? What are you? And why the hell did you run away when you saw him?" He asked but he was met with silence as usual. "Darn you too Noir!" With a sigh, he looked up. "I guess I should be going home then, mum must be worried." And then he began painfully walking back to the town with his body riddled with painful injuries making it hard for him to walk properly. A journey that was supposed to take ten minutes, it took thirty because of his constant stops for a break while hiding at times to evade beasts. Finally! He got to the town and he could see so little people walking around hurriedly and the damage dealt to the town was so noticable as half of the houses there had been destroyed. He could see some people crying around while gathering the dead. While some didn't bother to gather the dead as they were mourning on the dead bodies in pain. Walking back to the battlefield, he could see his mum on her knees crying while the little girl she had saved was consoling her. "Mum?!" He called out and Clara looked up to see Grey in front of her standing tiredly. "Oh Grey my dear son!" She quickly ran at full speed and embraced him tightly. "Ouch mum! I'm in pains." He cried out. "Oh I'm so sorry." Clara apologized and let go of him while Grey breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go back home, let me tend to your injuries." "Sure mum." He smiled. "Come on Jesse." Clara said. "Jesse?" Grey said and then he turned around to see the little girl his mum had risked her life to save. 'Her…!' he thought with his eyes narrowed like a slit glaring at Jesse which made her cower back in fear. 'Because of her, I nearly lost mum today. If I didn't have this powers, I would have really lost her.' "She… she can't…" Grey was about to say when he collapsed on his mum unconsciously.
