1 Chapter 1

­­­In a small village called, Lano

Outside a house, a lot of people are gathering, because inside this village house, a woman was about to give birth to a newborn.

After some time, a cry could be heard. It was a boy.

In this world, 6-year-olds have a test to see if they have any affinity with magic. If they do, they have the chance to join a magic academy. Magic academies are separated into 4 ranks, beginner, intermediate, advanced and expert. The number of beginner and intermediate academies is like flowers filling the vast ocean. Advanced academies can only be found in cities with two stars or more. Cities are ranked as well, they are ranked in 1 to 3 stars, 1 being the worst, 3 being the best. There are also city and towns with no star, most of these cities and towns are treated badly, but not the worst. Villages can have no star and are treated the worst, cities with stars think that it is shameful to speak with them. There is also the city that the Emperor lives in, with the city having 5 stars. There are no 4-star cities.

Every two years, intermediate magicians would be sent to hold a test in the cities, towns and villages.

Today was the day of the examination, our hero, Len, was ready to take the exam. He got up early and did his chores.

He went to the examination site early this morning. There were already a lot of people gathered here already. At around afternoon, people dressed in white and grey robes rode into the examination site on carriages. The carriages were very beautiful. They were covered in golden strips and were made of top-quality wood that was hard to find in this small village.

The examination was about to start, but when the crowd was excited to hear from the grey robed people, the crowd at the back of the examination went into an uproar.

"Get out of the way, our young master is coming through" a middle aged man with a well-built body shouted. This was the famous fighter of the village. And the young master that he spoke of was the son of the richest person in the village, Tianxia's son Tiandou.

When Len heard the middle-aged man shout, he frowned. That was because his family had borrowed money from their family and had not returned the money.

There were two reasons why Len came here today, one was to go through the examination and see if he had any talent in magic. The second reason was the reward that one could earn from the succeeding in the exam. The prize money was enough to pay five time the amount his family owned. This was the more important reason why Len came here today. There was a rumor that a villager had borrowed some money from the Tian Family and couldn't return it. One day, he was suddenly gone. Everyone knew what had happened to him.
