“Did I make it? It's been a hundred regressions. Which version of the world did I arrive in?” A man muttered.He opened his eyes, only to be blinded by a red liquid.Blood.His ears rang, and he could faintly hear the screaming of a crowd.“Where am I?” He rose to his feet, but his body felt like lead.“Woah! Flint stood up from that move.”“I honestly thought he died after Elton's elite move.”“That move would have sincerely killed me.”“Why would you pick Elton as your freaking challenger?”The voices were starting to get clearer.The man looked down and realized his hands were covered in blood.“My name is still Flint, even in this world.” He muttered to himself.An elderly man stepped forward, placing his hand on Flint's shoulders.“Give up on becoming a mage, Flint. You can't even get past the trial with someone like Elton. If you call it off now, I'd be able to save you some face.” The elderly man uttered.Flint raised his head, staring at this opponent in front of him.He had r

Flint stood over Elton's body, and the rock pieces on his hand fell off.Without saying a word, he turned around and went back into his house.“What a bother.” Flint said, moving to the fridge.Today was the day he would get into the mage academy, and he had already wasted enough time.He picked up some left over snacks and dropped the money he had taken off Elton on the table.‘Heading to the academy. I dropped a few things, please manage it and take care while I'm gone. I'll visit you all soon again.’Flint wrote a note, and placed the money bag over it.He had previously counted it, and it was fifty gold loinA gold loin was enough to feed his family for two months, containing three course meals a day.He could already imagine how happy they'd be.Flint's body ached, causing him to frown, “I can't keep having so much pain from a little struggle.” He thought out loud. “Strengthening this body would mean some exercises.” After packing out some clothes in his backpack, Flint set out

“Earth Fist.” Rocks gathered Flint's hands as he turned around.His reflexes came through just in time, and a heavy force slammed into him.He was pushed back, even though he had blocked the move.Raising his head, Flint realised she had not used any magic spell. It was Jolene.“How is this guy able to use two elements? He used Fire at first, now earth?”Someone whispered.“Any mage can use more than one element as long as they have the affinity for it.” “But that guy has no mana fluctuations.” Someone frowned.“Maybe he's hiding it.” Flint ignored the whispers, his breath coming out harshly.“You didn't use any spell?” He gave a half smile at Jolene.Had she wrapped her fist in pure mana just to hit him?“I don't need a spell to win you.” Jolene narrowed a gaze.She didn't have a good expression of Flint. He was acting arrogant and she didn't like it.“I'm still standing, Peasant. Don't think hiding your mana powers would make you win. That's just a low move. But I expected it fro

Flint walked through the halls of the room, asking people around.He ensured that those he met weren't students of Class1A, so everyone he met treated him with understanding and were more than willing to answer his questions.“Yeah, we know Bale Crown. Oh you mean someone related to him? That guy is like a devil.”“Everyone is scared of him. His name is Marcus Crown, and he is the head of Class 3A, so you can easily imagine how strong he is.”Flint got information from everywhere, trying to make it subtle.“Marcus Crown.” Flint muttered, heading back to his room, “Watch your back Marcus. You'd paid for what you did. I really despise threats.” The next day, a meeting was called in Class 1A.“Everyone, I'm sure this is news most of you have heard of but I'd be saying it again.” Kaelen began the announcement.“As the A level of your class, the school has put in a lot of resources to ensure that you all get stronger, in order to help in the war.” He continued.“War?” Flint's ears perked

Flint waited and hailed a taxi.“I'd like to go to the Second Court gate of the city.” Flint informed the driver and the man simply noddedIn less than thirty minutes, they had arrived at the Second Court gate.Flint had taken in most of the city as he was driven across.The city was truly beautiful unlike where he had come from.“I should relocate my parents here.” He muttered to himself, as the driver rode him.Soon enough, they arrived at the place.Flint took out a silver loin and gave it to the man, before walking away.The driver wanted to call him, but by the time he had realized what he was given, Flint had gone far.“Such a kind young man.” The driver said.A silver loin was basically a week's wage for him if he worked from eight in the morning till midnight.But unknown to the man, Flint had no knowledge of how money was being spent in such a place.“Is everyone here?” A tall man, wearing golden armour stood with his team, holding a shiny golden sword.“I think there's one o
