  • by David Harris Hearing Lyrian, kids nearby nearly fainted from shock. There wasn't a written rule that stated talking like this within the supreme royal family's presence was a crime, but everyone already knew to not do so anyways. There were many instances in the past where people got their tongues cut off, prison time, and even the death penalty for disrespecting the presence of the Yaltan family. Of course, Lyrian didn't have a clue about any of this, and nor did he really care. To him, seeing another person, let…
  • by David Harris Amidst the prize distribution, Julius took center stage once again and addressed the gathered crowd, his voice ringing out with excitement. "Congratulations not only to these exceptional individuals but also to each and every one of you for successfully passing the magic potential test!" His words elicited a collective cheer from the audience. "I know you're all eagerly anticipating the preliminary rounds tomorrow, but before we dive into the entrance exam, I want to grant you a day of well-deserved…
  • by David Harris As the board illuminated with colors representing the magic grades, Lyrian's name blazed in vibrant red, shining like a beacon of extraordinary potential. Gasps of disbelief rippled through the gathering of students and adults, each face mirroring the shock of witnessing an exceptional display. Even the ones who had mocked Lyrian moments ago were left stunned, their own scores paling in comparison. He met their surprised expressions with a mischievous grin, relishing the sweet taste of…
  • by David Harris Ignoring the bully for a moment, Lyrian pondered to himself, 'The magic potential test? I've never come across that in any of my books.' He couldn't help but notice the anxious aura it stirred among the other kids, indicating that it was likely a challenging hurdle to overcome. Just as he was contemplating this, a random student raised their hand amidst the crowd. Catching sight of the eager questioner, Julius beckoned them to speak, his smile warm and inviting. "Do we have a question?" he inquired,…
  • by David Harris Following the trail of the other ships, the one Lyrian stood on also entered the dome. From the outside, everything looked to have a small blurred effect, but all of that changed as Lyrian feasted his eyes on what was inside. Although the outside of the dome was an endless horizon of trees, the inside looked to be mostly just a patch of grass. All of the ships landed in an organized space to the left of the dome, feet away from each other. On the other side of the dome were several small half-dome…
  • by David Harris Amidst the growing anticipation and nervousness among the crowd, Lyrian finally opened his eyes. It wasn't like using Gale made him deaf; he knew exactly what was happening. With an impressed expression dawning on his face, he slowly rose to his feet. An exasperated thought interrupted Bardon's speech as Lyrian let out a sudden yawn. "Why does this keep happening to me? It's getting pretty annoying." Gasps rippled through the onlookers, taken aback by his audacity. "What the hell do you want?" Lyrian…
  • by David Harris Immediately Lyrian noticed a few eyes on him, which quickly lowered as he gazed at them. From the looks of everyone else, he was already an outcast. Since Anaviotis was such a prominent school, only high-ranking nobles and royals would find themselves attending there. For Lyrian however, it was clear to see that he wasn't of any such origins as his clothes alone looked like what average people would wear. In comparison, the other kids wore jewelry in the form of rings and bracelets, with surcoats and…
  • by David Harris After Lyrian and his parents returned home, they settled into a rather uneventful week. Nothing much happened except for one noteworthy discovery that Lyrian made: using spells didn't actually deplete his mana permanently, or at least that's what he found out. During the affinity test, Lyrian noticed his mana stat decreasing when he cast spells. But to his relief, it gradually restored itself over time, returning to its original level. Curious to confirm this, he conducted a few experiments using the…
  • by David Harris *In the 20 minutes prior to Lyrian and his family leaving the testing room.* Lyrian's parents stood beside him, beaming with pride and amazement. They knew their son was special, but this exceeded even their wildest expectations. "You-- you're a paragon magus! You hold control of all four major magical elements! This... I have to report this immedia--" The bewildered examiner said before beginning to fiddle with his coat to retrieve a communication device to relay this information. "Wait! Stop that…
  • by David Harris As Glis disappeared into the testing room, the lobby buzzed with speculation. Whispers and murmurs spread like wildfire, fueled by the gossip-hungry crowd. The room had transformed into a theater of curiosity, with all eyes fixated on Lyrian. He had inadvertently become a source of intrigue, his interactions with the Silandra girl igniting the imaginations of those present. Amidst the sea of astonished faces, Lyrian leaned back in his seat, soaking in the attention with a show of nonchalance, but also…
