Orphanage

When Jim opened his eyes, he could see the view which he saw when he remembered as he lived in an orphanage for only a few months. When he started getting up from his bed in front of him, Matias moved a little. While seeing one of his brothers, Jim walked to him and covered him again as what he had on him was on the floor. After checking on everyone that was sleeping well and nothing was disturbing them, he walked out. It's ten days into spring and it is cold in the room as snow falls from time to time as winter this year is much longer than the previous one.

When Jim walked out of there, he could see the priest who had come back from praying "good morning father".

"Oh, I can see you wake up like always," the priest said.

Brian said while seeing Jim, and then he continued,

"So help in the kitchen,"

"Ok father," Jim said, and while today wasn't his day to help in the kitchen, he wanted to do this. When he came there, he started going with what Miss Emilia told him. While he was doing it, more and more children started waking up and coming to help. While seeing that, everyone woke up and started helping everything go smoothly. While they have done with it, everyone takes what they help, and after coming to the table in the main room, and seeing that everyone was sitting in their places, the priest said, "Thank god for the food which today we will eat".

"Thank you, God," everyone said, and then they started eating. While they were doing it, the priest Brian, said, "Jim, are you ready?"

"Yes, tomorrow is my test," Jim said.

"We all know you will fail," Jacob said. While hearing this, everyone who had been here for long enough to know Jim looked at him and while magic started to create around their hands, the priest Brian said loudly, "enough no magic inside, you should remember the rules which I thought you should,".

"We are sorry," everyone said, and when they hid their magic, they came back eating. When they were doing it, Jim did with his food first and then he walked out. While he was doing this, a little snow was outside and when he started walking straight, after ten minutes, he came to the forest. While he was there, he walked to his training place. While he was there, he took an old piece of metal and then started hitting it with a rock.

He has been doing it for the past years. While his dream was always to become the strongest magic knight, his dreams went away in his first years in this world. When everyone at age five should use magic, he couldn't even create a little of it, but he tried as hard as possible. While seeing it, everyone started laughing at him, but after daily training for a few hours with his older brothers, he could finally create a little.

While seeing a small purple flame, he was the

The happiest child on earth, but this did not last much longer. On this day, his oldest brother Alfonzo, was chosen to participate in an exam to go to one of twenty magic knights guilds. After the sword chose him, it was sure that he would be in one, but it was still unknown in which. While everyone was happy about it, nobody looked at what Jim had achieved. While seeing it, he became more closed than he was earlier and he started training much more than everyone.

At age eight, he found this place. He started training here. Nobody disturbed him here, but everyone knows where he is. While he was doing it at first, he started training himself in magic every day, from waking up to be here to becoming dark outside without taking the day off. While he was doing it, he had only a small break for dinner. While he was doing it, not only did his muscularity go up, but he could now create a bigger flame, but still, he was losing to eight-year old kids.

While Jim was training for a long time, today he was covered with sweat after hitting a rock, and without any break, he started doing pushups and squads. While it was his daily routine, he from day to day beat what he had done a day earlier. At first, he barely passed ten without a break, but now he could go to two hundred.

While he was doing it, time passed and when the sun was at its peak, he ended his first part of the training. When he walked to the river, he cleaned himself, and after that, he walked back to the orphanage. While he was there, he helped with wood which only he could touch, while being the oldest for the past three years, when his oldest brother took a position in the closest town as a helper at a mill.

When Jim finished with it, he started walking with the wood and then the priest, Brian, said: "Come with me".

"Ok," Jim said, and after putting it all on the ground, he walked after him. While they came to priest Brian's chamber, Jim sat down on a chair and then priest Brian said, "I found you in front of the doors when you were a few months old. While seeing now, you grew up as a strong man, and when eighteen years passed from the day, I found you, I'm giving this to you,".

While hearing his words, Jim opened his hand, and then a small pendant landed in his hand. While seeing it, Jim started looking at it and while seeing a flying dragon there, he asked "what is it?".

"You have it when I found you," priest Brian said while looking at Jim. While hearing his words, Jim said, "thank you for giving it to me".

"No problem, I wanted to do it for many years," priest Brian said.

"But why now?" Jim asked.

"Oh, you see, when you fail, I found your job as a blacksmith," priest Brian said while looking at Jim. "Thank you, if I fail, I will go there, but you know that I can't drop my dreams so easily," Jim said. "I know and that's why I'm giving it now to you to continue your journey, but remember one thing: when you do not pass, you need to go there," the priest said.

"I know your father and I will do what you want," Jim said, and after getting up, he hid the gift, and then he walked out. While he did this, he walked to eat.
