Wandering Mind

The sunlight reflecting in the deep grey eyes gave Jasmine a beautiful yet empowering look. She was sitting in the garden, spring was coming flowers blooming, different colors of flowers surrounding her engulfing her in a fresh sweet smell. With a cup of tea in her hand and smelling the chamomile in it, delightful.

I have managed to make father agree but I know he is still in doubt. Well the entrance exam will be no problem for me because of my past experiences but the academy is a big deal as it's one of the biggest magic universities. It's hard for even nobles to get in, all they appreciate is talent for magic. I know their protocol as I have given their exam before but the problem is where I am standing.

I was able to enter the high society because I was and am seen as a prodigy and tested as 2 level intermediate only at 10 years old. But they never accepted me a baron's daughter because I am not noble by lineage but the title was bestowed upon my father for being the trader during the war with country A. He supplied our country with essentials, he's a commoner with a baron's title for the nobles. So, the past me did everything they said to try to fit in or to not be looked down upon. They took this chance and ruined my name along with my family's and made me distracted from studying magic, therefore I entered the academy after 18 when usually earlier declared prodigy join at 12.

Their are 4 types of magicians here. Everyone here is born with mana. The Swordsman are one of the most powerful people. They can wield sword with mana but it takes time and practice to bring out the sword power. Color red represents them therefore you can see most the knights wearing red capes. Swordsmanship is all about strength and being agile, they are also one of the most proud section.

The Mage, the most common profession. Color green represents them. It is the most common because it does not need specialization, they just use mana to control elements. They have control over all elements but not full control or deep understanding. Its as if they are borrowing the elements power but can't own it.

The elementalist, the rarest profession. Blue represents them. There is an elementalist only in every 15 years. They have deep understanding of their own elements and every 50 a elementalist is born with twin elements, understanding of two elements.

The difference between them and mage is mages can control all the elements but to a certain extent they can train in a specific element but can never achieve the level of efficiency elementalist have. On the other hand, elementalist can control only one element but with so much proficiency that they are seen superior to mages.

The summoner, the golden color holder. A honorary profession, They can summon elementals (spirits of certain elements), spirit beast, holy beast (head of spirit beasts). Summoners are very powerful and honored because they can not only create contracts with beast and elements but can also control all the elements like mages.

The profession is decide when a child turns 7, It is decided by injecting mana of a person into the cultivator ball then the color projected by the ball determines the profession, however they can chose a different field. And the mana detector tells them on which level they are.

There are 5 levels, each level is divided into 3 portions.

1st Level - Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced (30 - 100) amount of mana

2nd Level - Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced (100 - 200)

3rd Level - Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced (200 - 300)

4th Level - Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced (300 - 400)

5th Level - Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced (400 - 500)

The level remain same for any type of magician.

There are still common occupation like bakery, businessman, tailor as not everyone is interested in being a high level mage or swordsman. But for people interested and have the aptitude for it apply for powerful colleges The Gregorian Academy in country C, Elementals University in country B, Saint's Spirit in country A.

I have thought it through. I don't think admission is a problem but I do need to find a source of passive income the allowance isn't much and I don't wanna ask for more. I'm gonna need resources to advance faster, father's just a baron just providing with the first years supply is hard for him. And the stipend only starts from the second year.

In the past the remedy of mana overload was not found till I was 17, which gives me 2 years but I can't just wait around. As the idea clicks in her mind she jumps up and calls for Vivian to look for James. The thought was to buy all the lighting grass from the market, the key ingredient. But I can't pick the stock in the name of a noble, I have to change my identity. I can't cause any more harm to my house's name, plus it will help me get a upper hand if I can grew my trade into a powerful business.

Jasmine asks her personal knight James who has been by her side since forever, in the past also he gave his life to save hers. He had a tall lean built with strong muscles with golden locks, sharp green eyes and chiseled jawline, she knew he would be a strong pillar in her business . She asked him to collect all the lighting grass in the name of Bloody Ross organization and to stock in the tea house of hers, she had bought earlier to impress the high society pricks. After two weeks of collection they had collected more then 100 kg grass as it was very cheap and could be managed within her allowance. But once the cure is made from this herb, the prices sky rocket and it later becomes one of the most expensive herbs. It provides the cure for mana overload which was a common disease but with deadly affects. Mana keep cumulating in a person and they meditate to channel it but if not channeled with proper guidance it can affect the mana flow forever making the person incapable of doing any magic or damages the veins causing permeant or temporary damage.
