Karna went in front of Makrov the next day, He had a resolute expression on his face. Makrov looked at him for a while then asked, "Have you decided?", "Yes, please teach me magic spells. I want to become a mage as well."A complicated expression flashed on Makrov's face. He asked, "Are you sure? Only a few ones-in-a-million genii can accomplish this. I can give you more time to think, It's not easy to use 'Aura' And 'Mana' at the same time.""No, teacher. I'm sure about this. I know that you must think that I'm being overconfident and arrogant, But I still want to learn magic."Makrov looked at Karna deeply, He sighed, "Alright, if that's your wish then I won't stop you. But I will be very disappointed if you give up because of failure." Makrov said sternly."I understand Teacher, I will never fail!""Fine!" Makrov said and brought up a book, a manual, and a spherical transparent orb. "First of all, this is a low-grade Mana Affinity Manual for you, although it's a low grade but

On a clear day when the wind was flowing mildly, the sky was blue, two prestigious carriages were traveling northeast of the territory of the Zarx Family. Three warriors and a mage each we're riding with the two carriages on both sides. Five warriors rode in front and the back creating a protective formation.The warriors and the mages rode on war horses which were fast, somewhat intelligent, and strong. They had great stamina and could run for 3 days without any nourishment. The Warriors were 3rd Mid-Ranked. They wore the typical Ascar empire's armor, they had swords hung on their waists and shields on their backs. This created an oppressive atmosphere around the caravan. But the thing that announced the identity of this caravan was the insignia of the Zarx Family, A red lotus on a sword.As for the mages, they wore their magician robes which were also their pride. They were all at least 3rd Ranked mages. One of them was 'Oliver' who seemed to be the leader of the mages present. He

On the other side, Five vicious wolves approached the five warriors, they pounced on the warriors with speed similar to an arrow while cutting the air. The warriors raised their swords which glowed with their Aura. The wolves closed the distance In a blink of an eye slashing their claws at the warriors with great force. The warriors parried the strikes with their swords and dodged backward. Although the warriors could use their sword arts to finish off the wolves quicker but they were taught to be efficient while dealing with the enemy and save as much energy as possible to deal with any unseen circumstance.The wolves could not break the extremely durable swords and were pushed backward by the warrior's Aura which invaded the wolf's body through the sword. before they could stabilize, the ground beneath their feet became a quagmire as a mage behind the warriors smirked cruelly. The wolf's feet began sinking in. Not wasting this opportunity, five of the warriors slashed their sword

The sun shone brightly over the head. Sounds of people's noises could be heard all around the town. The shopkeepers were haggling with the customers about the prizes, two young boys were having a duel full of heroic spirit while the pedestrians cheered with passion. A little kid was begging his mother to buy him candy as his gaze was constantly going towards the multiple colored candies on the side of the road at a small stall. His mother couldn't help it as she bought an orange colored candy for the boy, the boy became ecstatic as he hopped around in happiness not noticing the concern in his mother's eyes. The mother sneakily counted the minuscule amount of bronze coins in her pouch and sighed with hopelessness. But then a motherly smile appeared on her face as she saw her son brimming with joy and happiness. She clenched her fists as calluses could be seen on her hands. Some unknown resolve flashed in her eyes.On the other hand, An Lady with a noble temperament, beautiful looks, an

Karna woke up from the noise of door knocking. He slowly opened his eyes lazily, his eyes opened wide fully when he again heard the sound of door knocking, and it was even louder this time. The room was very dark, but the combination of a bit of moonlight mixed in with the dimmed glow of the magic lamps gave off a mystic feeling to the vicinity. Stars were blinking in the night sky, and a slight tail of smoke could be seen far away in the distance from the direction of the woods, probably because of the bonfire made by someone. The City of Berteira was shining in the darkness as the magic lamps were lit on the streets. The light coming from the torches on the walls of the houses mixed with the luster of the full moon and the numerous magic lamps around the city gave an impression of a 'Heavenly City' of some sort. Karna saw a glimpse of this scene while getting off the bed. Chilly air was blowing which made the balcony's and window's white contain flutter. The sound of fluttering c
