The Irregular Mage

"Hoo! That's the last demon to be taken of. Didn't expect them to make a move". "It's been five years since the last attack of the demons. Good thing you've managed to stop them, Yoru. That's the first time the Magic Knights have been useless". "They've just managed to trap you guys in an another dimension, it's not your fault. That Demon Spatial Mage must be powerful". "Yeah, but I'm still amazed that you've managed to stop the demons even though you're just 10 years old. That's the time that you also recieved your grimoire, right"? "Yes, that's the first time I've used magic spells and not to mention, it's a real battle". "Well I must say I'm impressed even though it's been five years". "Yeah yeah enough with the praises, let's just keep moving so that we can return to the palace and report to the Wizard King". "Yeah, that's right. I am just fifteen years old and yet I'm a Magic Knight. My name is Yoru and I was supposed to recieve my grimoire when I'm fifteen because that's the age where the others get their grimoire but I'm different". "I received my grimoire when I was just ten. Right in the middle of the battle against the devils. They sometimes call me a genius and talented because of the thing I've done during the incident five years ago and I've recieved my grimoire at such a young age but in fact, all of those just happened because of my desperation to save the people". "There are two names that have been given to me, the first one is the Irregular Mage and the second one is, the Black Hero. During the battle against the devil five years ago, I've managed to used all of the elemental magic forms. Fire, water, wind, lightning, light, world tree and the dark magic". "There are a few people that have managed to see me when I was using dark magic against the demons and that's the reason why I'm known as the Black Hero". "Although many of the people here don't know that I'm the Black Hero, they know that the Black Hero exists since he's the one who have managed to save the kingdom after all. But still, I don't recognize myself as the Black Hero because I'm not worthy of it. I haven't managed to save other people". "Especially him". "We're here now, Yoru. The palace where the Wizard King is. It's been a long time since you talked to him". "Yeah, sometimes I'm just giving my report to you about my missions. Oh yeah, why I'm here? Does the Wizard King wants to talk to me"? "Oh yeah, that's right. He wants to talk to you". They entered the palace and have gone to the Wizard King's office. "Yo Julius, we're here". "You still call me by my name huh, Yuuto. Come in". "Wizard King is too long. Oh and here's the report about our mission". "Did you bring him with you"? "Yeah". "Yuuto, can you give us a minute to talk"? "Oh yeah. Yoru, come in. Julius wants to talk to you". "Then, I shall take my leave". As soon as Yoru entered the room, a bright smile appeared on the Wizard King's face. "Good day to you, Wizard King". "I'm glad that you came. Yoru". "It's been 3 years since we last talked". "Yeah. You've become a fine man. You have done well protecting the kingdom during that time". "You are the second mage I've seen use dark magic other than Yuuto and your instincts and spells in combat are almost the same". "Then, what business does the Wizard King have with me"? "I want you to attend school". "Eh!? Why should I do that? Am I not strong enough to be in the Magic Knights"!? "Relax Yoru. You'll be doing this for a different reason". "What do you mean"? "This an S-type mission that I can only entrust to you". "And why so? Why did you choose me if this is an S-type mission"? "It's because you're the one who fits the role needed in this mission". "If the Wizard King believes I can do it the I shall complete the mission. Then, what do you want me to do"? "You are familiar with the Sacred Stones, right"? "The Sacred Stones. It's been years since the last time you mentioned it. What's this all about"? "I want you to guard the Dark Sacred Stone there. During the incident five years ago, the devils have managed to took four sacred stones from the different kingdoms, there are only three left. The Lightning Sacred Stone, the Light Sacred Stone and the Dark Sacred Stone". "Wait, why don't you just get the stone from the school then put it here so that you guys can keep it safe"? "It's not that easy. So far, the two Sacred Stones, the Lightning Sacred Stone is at the Heart Kingdom while the Light Sacred Stone is at the Diamond Kingdom. But the Dark Sacred Stone is a different story. It can't be removed from its place and we don't know why". "Now I get it. Then, when will I start attending this school"? "You can start tomorrow. We don't know when will the devils make their attack again. Maybe their goal is to obtain the remaining three sacred stones. I don't know the reason why they want it but we must not let them get it. Starting tomorrow, you'll be attending the Magic Academy". "Yes! I mustn't let those devils lay their hands on the Sacred Stone". "And that's how my new mission is starting. I'll be attending the Magic Academy, the school where people at my age, learn how to use magic and become strong. I can't wait to meet new people there. This one will be interesting".
