The Beginning
5 Years Later in the Human Realm,
Two people, a young boy and a nun, are seen walking towards a temple with smiles on their faces.
"I can't wait to awaken my mana" The boy said "I'm so excited"
"Akira" The nun chuckled "Make sure you are a good boy"
"Okay, Sesilia" Akira answered while smiling.
The two of them soon arrived at a temple and walked in. There they met a man with blonde hair sleeping on a chair.
"Hey, David wake up!" Sesilia yelled
The man that was sleeping was jolted from his chair by the shout and fell to the ground.
"Huh…. Who's there?" David asked in a shocked manner
"Wake up dummy, we're here" Sesilia said.
"Ohh Sesilia it's you" David said "And who might that be?"
"Have you already forgotten? This is Akira" Sesilia said
But David had a puzzled look on his face.
"Akira, the one who you were gonna awaken his mana" Sesilia said
"Ohh that's right. Of course, I didn't forget" David said
"Good." Sesilia said "Now Akira go to that man there he will help you"
Akira walked up to David "Hello, I'm Akira, nice to meet you" Akira bowed.
"Same, it's a pleasure to meet you Akira" David said "Now Akira give me your hand"
Akira stretched out his hand and David help his hand and started to inject his mana into him. Suddenly Akira felt a sharp pain spreading from his hand all the way to his whole body.
"Ahh" Akira exclaimed in a low voice.
"All done. You have successfully awakened your mana" David said.
"What really?" Akira said excitedly.
"I can't wait to start using magic. I wanna throw a fireball, summon beasts, freeze water…." Akira said.
"Hold it" David said interrupting Akira.
"You technically can't use magic without first awakening your mana property"
"Yeah, you'll awaken your mana property when your 10" Sesilia said.
"Ok so it's time to go now, right?" Akira said
He then proceeded to run to the entrance.
"Hold up, where do you think you're going?" David said "Sesilia, you still haven't told him? Have you?" David asked
"I'm working on it" Sesilia said
"What is he talking about?" Akira asked
"Well, you'll be staying here with him to train for five years" Sesilia said.
"What. But I don't wanna go" Akira said in a sad voice.
"I know, but it's for your own good" Sesilia said.
"Well, I better start going now. I have things to do" Sesilia said
Akira starts sobbing but Sesilia comforts him. Akira see's Sesilia off and he returns to David. David takes Akira into the temple's inner area and to a room where there are three beds and two people are already sleeping in two of them.
"Training starts tomorrow. So, you better get some rest" David said.
"Same goes for you two" The two people in the bed stopped pretending.
"Okay you caught us" A boy's voice said. "We were just really curious about the person you said will be joining us for our training"
"That's enough. I don't want to hear any noise from here, so go to sleep now" David said. He then walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
Akira went into the empty bed and laid down. Then the boy went to meet him.
"Hey, my name is Jake and the girl behind me is my twin sister Naomi" The boy said with a smile. "What about you?"
"My name is Akira, nice to meet you" Akira said.
"Well, we better get some sleep, cause David can be a real…." Jake said
"Shut up and go to sleep already!!" David yelled.

The Next Day,
Four people could be seen outside. Akira, Jake and Naomi were sitting on the floor while David was in front of them.
"I'm pretty sure Jake has introduced himself to you, so I'll skip that and move onto the main thing" David said. He then picked up three books and gave each of them one.
"Each of you will read the book and I'll explain something later. But for now, start reading"
There are nine grades of power which go in this order Wood-Stone-Iron which are under the Earth Grade, Moon-Sun-Star which are under the Starless Grade and Heaven-Immortal-Primordial which are under the Heavenly Grade. And there are four realms and one sub-realm currently known where the eleven races are spread out. The humans, elves and fairies live in the human realm, the demons and vampires live in the demonic realm, the gods and the angels live in the heavenly realm, the dragons and werewolves live in the beast realm, while the dark elves and dark fairies live in the realm of darkness which is a sub realm in the human realm.
"Sir, what is this mana property I heard you say. And it us written in this book?" Akira asked.
"It is the element or nature someone is born with and can only be awakened at the age of 10" David replied.
"And there are different kinds ranging from common to mythical"
"So, there are different types? What about the techniques" Akira asked
"I'm not really going to go in depth about the various techniques you can use without a mana property, I'll only mention a few" David explained.
"You have aura, frequency, telekinesis, dragon's tongue, heightened perception etc."
"So, when are we gonna learn those?" Akira and Jake asked in unison.
"Slow down, some of those techniques are high level. For now you'll learn how to fight with weapons and later you'll learn techniques" David said.

In a dark room, a man with blonde hair and a woman with long brown hair could be seen.
"It seems that bastard must be planning something. Lately he's been moving around more frequently" The brown-haired woman said. Eden a woman who looked to be in her early twenties said.
"Is that so…. noted" The blonde-haired man replied. Gihon a man who looked to be in his early twenties said.
"You know, ever since the incident you've become care free and lazy" Eden said angrily.
The dark room suddenly distorted and turned into an office. Then there was a knock on the office door.
"President! There is an emergency" The man outside yelled
"Come in" Gihon said
The man then opened the door, and Eden stormed out of the office angrily.
"President, we're sensing high amounts of mana coming out of the priest's burial ground" The man said
"I'm on my way there. You may now go" Gihon said and thought ~What is he doing there, I can't think of anything of interest there~
