章節 8: Academy

[Seven Years later, Holy Empire Academy]

A boy was training with a middle-aged man wielding a staff.

The Man with the staff was Cornelius, after leaving the village, he decided to take the boy and leave the Dacian Kingdom and head north to settle in the Holy Empire.

After making some connections with the current principal of the Holy Empire Academy, he took a job as a teacher in the Academy, the principal of the academy being more than pleased with Cornelius since he held great power as being in the Elemental Stage 3rd level.

To clarify how strong Cornelius was, compared to others, a human child can average between the 1st and 3rd level of the Mana Gathering Stage; usually, a teenager would be between the 3rd and 5th level as for an average adult he would be around the 7th level of the Mana Gathering Stage

The Principal of the academy is in the second stage, the Aura Manifestation stage ninth level, 1 step away from being an Elemental.

As for prodigies in his academy, most would be from the 1st to 5th level of the Aura Manifestation stage, but that's only for teenagers, as his academy teaches students from age 7 for ten years until the age of 17 when they graduate.

As with the promise made to Scarlet, Cornelius started training like a madman, and after seven years he finally reached the Master Stage level one.

As he started training Silva from the age of 4, he got dumbfounded with how much talent Silva possessed. Currently, at the age of seven, Silva was already in the second stage, manifesting his aura. Also, he had three attributes of Wind, Fire and the predominant Darkness attribute.

Because of the darkness attribute, he told Silva not to show his aura to others until he managed to control it, as to hide the dominant Dark characteristic.

As tomorrow was the first test to sort out talents for the academy, Cornelius was training Silva in close range combat and how to fight against armed opponents, as to why a staff, it's because during his years in the army the weapon he used was a staff.

''Silva tomorrow is the day you will start your days in the academy after you begin your training in the academy your strength will surge fast.''

'' Grandpa, could you tell me more about my parents.''

''All you need to know is that both love you very much, as you all need to do, is to train diligently. ''

Every time Silva he got asked about his daughter and that damned brat, Cornelius tried his best to avoid the subject.

All the boy did daily was to train.

If only my daughter could have seen Silva grow, it's all that damned's brat fault that my daughter had to suffer such grievances, I'll train and get stronger and when I think the time is right, I'm going to look for them, also to give a piece of my mind to that brat.

....

[the next day, Holy Academy]

A massive crowd of kids around the age of seven were lined up and were listening to the principal's speech.
