"You've completed the assignment I gave you? In one week?" Mr. Luis asked again, his voice laced with disbelief.Lukas looked at his teacher with a doubtful expression on his face. Wasn't the assignment supposed to be completed in a week? Why did he still doubt him?Lukas looked at his fellow classmates and saw them looking at him with wide eyes. He felt uncomfortable from their gazes, as they were all looking at him like he was an alien.Ayleen in particular was staring at him with a more intense gaze than anyone present. Despite her stoic face, her mind was reeling with bewilderment. She couldn't believe her ears.How did he complete the magic circle?! It was nigh impossible for her to do so. The difficulty of the task was off the charts! So how did he?! Was he really human?!Mr. Luis was the first to recover from the shock. He adjusted his monocle, a deep-rooted habit of his."Well, since you said you have completed the task, you don't mind casting a basic magic circle now right?"

Lukas didn't know how long he slept for but it was noon when he woke up. This time around the room wasn't empty. There were two boys present in the room.He looked at them closely and saw that they were the ones who refused to return his greetings. This time he didn't bother greeting them; he just stood and went towards the bathroom.After taking a shower he was now feeling refreshed. Since there was nothing for him to do as today was a Saturday he decided to meditate. He wanted to increase his speed at drawing a magic circle.He was about to enter a meditative state when his phone rang. He wore a puzzled look on his face. He rarely received calls, as he didn't have many friends to begin with. The few he had he always texted them on social media.He picked up his phone and was further confused. It was an unknown number, which meant he hadn't gotten a call from this person before. He swiped his screen before placing the phone to his ear."Hello?" the person calling him was the first to

Lukas walked side by side with Ayleen, drawing attention because of her beauty. She didn't pay them any mind and walked confidently to the bus stop.When they got there, Lukas expected her to board the bus, but she didn't do that. She brought out her phone from her purse instead.Lukas noticed that the phone looked really expensive and wondered how much she would have spent to get it.Ayleen made a phone call, and in a few seconds she disconnected the call. Just a minute after the phone call, a pricey looking car with tinted windows came to a stop in front of them.A muscular bald man in suit came out of the car in a hurry and rushed to open the backseat of the car. Ayleen went in elegantly and sat down.When she saw Lukas still looking conflicted, she waved her hands and Lukas got in the car. The bald man closed the car and went to the driver's seat before driving away.Lukas sank into the soft leather seats of the car and nearly let out a groan. The seats were extremely comfortable.

Lukas looked at Mr. Luis with a befuddled expression on his face. He didn't understand a thing Mr. Luis said."Innate talent?" Lukas asked in a bemused tone."Yes. You have an innate talent." Mr. Luis replied confidently.Lukas scrunched his eyebrows, refusing to believe his teacher. Mr. Luis looked at the boy and like as if a truck hit him; all the pieces of the puzzle named Lukas Kerr became evidently clear.The reason why he took a week to complete the assignment that should have taken months, and the reason he was able to keep going despite the fact that he had been using mana continuously for the past 3 hours.It was all due to his innate talent. He was shocked when he saw the size of his mana pool. It was the size of a bona-fide Grand Mage. It meant that Lukas had the amount of mana seen in a Grand Mage's mana pool.The amount of mana he had was simply ridiculous.Normally, a basic mage would have different sizes of mana pools, those with larger mana pools would be able to cast

Inside a huge field the size of a soccer pitch, young students could be seen practicing different magic circles. Their eyes were filled with concentration, each of them focused on casting the 1st tier spell of their elements.In a corner of the field, a man in his early forties watched the enthusiastic children with an intensive gaze, mentally noting the talented ones, less talented ones, the hardworking ones and the indolent ones.Compared to 4 months ago, the students present were the cream of the crop who had all taken the first step to becoming basic mages. They were all incredibly close to completing the magic circle for their first tier spell, as they had been practicing very hard over the course of 4 months.Over the course of 4 months, he had expelled the students who weren't willing to put in the sweat and were content with being mediocre, and also those who were unable to complete the assignment despite their hard work.It might seem harsh on his part, but he was actually do
