Mage Kings Rise

Red head battles Aldin

******

Meanwhile, a group of thirty students had arrived back at the school and one among them was Marcus Wein, the same Marcus Wein who had battled Darvin during their year's entrance trial. After getting in he headed back to his dorm. As he was walking he saw his cousin, Ivan Eddy. But from what he could see, his cousin seemed to be getting completely ignored by everybody. As he approached Ivan, Ivan noticed him and ran towards him.

"Hello cousin," Ivan said joyful to see his cousin.

"Seems you passed the trials," Marcus said.

"Yes, I did," Ivan said but this time with a tone of sadness.

"But why don't you have friends, this is where you should be making some connections," Marcus asked

"It's nothing you should bother yourself with. It's good that you are back but I have to go, my next class starts in a few minutes." Ivan said and walked away.

This perked Marcus' interest, he was curious what it was that had made him so dissociative and all the other students to avoid him after all making friends with a noble of great a ranking as him was always good."

Later that day in the evening Aldin had gone to the principal's office and today he was going to continue the hardening practice and as it would have been the pain was always constantly there.

"I have to ask why do I have to use mana from my core, wouldn't it be easier to use mana directly from the air rather than use the mana in my core," Aldin asked.

"Because it would be harder to control it making it easier for it to go rampant." Leon Corvus said.

Aldin continued to practice until his entire body ached too much to continue.

Marcus Wein

After asking around I found out that Ivan had been publicly beaten by another student and been humiliated. The other students refused to speak to him fearing that they too would be implemented as his associates and face the same fate.

It angered me that my cousin was being bullied in the school and now I had to get retribution for what had happened to him and serve justice.

Ivan Eddy

On the day I had attacked Aldin, I had intended to teach him that nobles would always stand at the top of the world but he had just been playing with u. When stabbing his arm I had angered him greatly. In an instant, everything had gone south and we ended up being examples of what power truly was.

As we were still stuck on the giant earth pillar I had time to reflect on my actions. For my life I had grown up knowing that nobility meant power and power had deluded me and even eluded me. My arrogance had grown and I had failed to realise the true meaning of power dwelled in magic and Aldin had power. At dusk, the principal had come to get us free together with another professor.

"if today you could not see the true meaning of power then you will die at the hands of those with power." H3 said to me before feeling us."

Now I had lost everything due to my arrogance, the other nobles all ignored me and even more the commoners, I had become the pariah of the entire school.

On the day the third years came back, I had seen my cousin from the Wein family but after remembering my ordeal with Aldin, I couldn't bear to drag him into a pit I had dug myself.

Aldin Randell

After my session with the principal I headed out and instead of going to my dorm immediately and walked around the school.

I had been walking for some time when I was approached by a huge red-haired boy.

"So it was you." He said.

I was confused at what he was saying and opted to walk away but he grabbed my shoulder.

"Where do you think you're going bustard?" He said.

"Let's go of me," I said in a slow steady but angry tone.

"Who do you think you are?" He said.

"I'd say the same for you," I said. 'These nobles never seem to never learn by example.

With his hand still on my shoulder I froze it but he melted it. When I turned I saw his arms flaring, he was a fire user. He charged in and was aiming to punch me and I swatted it.

"Now I can finally test what I've learnt today on you," I said.

Behind me, I had conjured two large water orbs and froze them. He moved back assuming I had the intention of firing them at him but in the end, they formed two long whips. I fired them at him and wrapped them around him, he was now immobile so I went to him, "You nobles should know that just because you bear noble titles does no mean that you rule everything.

As I looked around I could see that a crowd had formed due to the noise.

"And now I'm going to teach you to respect power," I said.

But just as I went to strike, "Stop." I had from behind me.

The third years had arrived a few hours prior to Marcus and Aldin's confrontation. Darvin had arrived and gone out in search of Aldin. Throughout the entire school, he had been unable to find him and didn't want to bring too much attention to him. He began to think that Aldin had not made it into the academy but the thought Immediately went out the window as soon as he remembered what type of talent he had.

When he got into the dorm he found his dorm mates sparring. Among them was a face he didn't quite recognise. The rest of them introduced her, Natalie, who was the second-best first-year student.

"And why didn't you ever mention Aldin to us?" Terias asked.

"That little rascal sure is full of surprises," Barrin said.

"Where is he?" Darvin asked. But before Barrin could say anything a loud banging sound could be heard.

"Follow the cause of that sound and he is not far from it," Natalie said which cracked up the group.
