2 The Rise of a new Era

When Light was coming from his school, all he could think of was training with his father. But when he got home he saw a scene that even his nightmares would be scared of. His mother was bleeding from every part of her body trying to protect the lifeless body of his sister. Every house in the neighborhood was stained in blood and dead bodies were spread everywhere. In his fear, he managed a small sound

"Who?"

"Get away! He is after you! " His father screamed, "I can't hold him off for long."

"How strong is he? Light thought. His dad was an SSS class spellcaster known as the "One-second Swordsman". His Temporal magic was second to none. It's a miracle that the killer was even keeping up with him. If he was keeping up with his father and was stronger than him, running would be useless anyway. He wanted to help his father. He had to stop the person who killed his family. When he took a step...

"Don't! Don't even think about it! You'll be strong later but now….. you can't throw your life away!" His father said as if he could read Light's mind.

Right then, Light felt a cold presence behind him. He suddenly noticed the headless body of his father hitting the ground.

He saw his perfect family life flash before his very eyes.

"They say you see your life when you die, somehow I see today's morning." He thought and smiled waiting for his turn to join his family.

"Light S Draco!"Kayla called. You know it's bad when your mom uses your full name. Light got up and went down. His mom had seen his grades. She didn't care about his magic power but cared about his subjects and needless to say it's bad if you get a 50/100 in English.

"Sorry! I'm sure I wrote well!" Light pleaded, "I'm sure I wrote well!"

"C'mon Light, even I can score better in English!" His sister, Julie taunted him.

"You shut up!"

"LANGUAGE!" Kayla yelled. Kayla was normally very cool-headed but could be really scary if she wanted to be.

"Oi Oi, now let's be a little cool here." his father Gourge Draco said."Isn't it time for your school now, Light?"

" Just cuz you were a prodigy doesn't mean school is fun, ya know? I'm also probably the weakest guy in class. I mean what use is speed manipulation magic? I can understand speeding myself up but what use is slowing myself down???

"Light, what did we say about magic?"

"It's not only for fights...Easy for you to say, you are an SSS class spellcaster!"

" Fine! If you wanna be so strong Mom will train with you in the evening."

"GOURGE!" Kayla yelled.

" I mean I will train you in the evening!" Gourge said in fear, "She can be very scary if she wants to be" he whispered and went back to reading his newspaper hoping no one heard that.

Light used his speed to go to the academy on time. " It's useful in one way," he thought.

Light reached his school on time. He was just at his bench when he heard some whispers.

"Hey isn't that the One Second Swordsman's son? "Some girl asked.

"Yeah his father is the strongest man in our city" Another lady pointed out.

"But that kid is the lowest-ranked in magic skills."

"His power is a stupid self speed manipulation, isn't it? How is he so weak?"

"Well, there goes my chance at finding a girlfriend." Light thought.

Everyone wanted him to change from spellcaster graduation to some other course. But his mother told him to go for anything he likes. She was a successful scientist and a great spellcaster. She went to the A rank in spellcasting before getting married and leaving her job. Her heart was always in magic science.

Lost in his thoughts, he heard a voice "Light…."

"LIGHT! You still with us?" asked Mr. Yonko, his Spellcaster teacher. He always supported Light in the course and took extra classes to help him train. Not all teachers were like him though.

"The year just started, do you want to change courses? " Every Spellcaster teacher who came in the next classes asked him.

The classes went on with the same boring routine till lunch. He sat with just one person. Rondo Grans.

He looks so dreamy!!!" Literally, every girl that saw him said.

"Why is he with that weakling though?" Was also a generally heard comment.

Even Light didn't know the reason for their friendship. One day Rondo just approached him and said "Wanna fight? You seem strong." Of course, Light never beat him.

Rondo used lightning summoner magic. He could use lightning from his body and also as a means to fly. His powers multiplied when there is a thunderstorm. Needless to say, he is the guy who was the school inspiration. He was also the academy topper with being the second person to pass out directly as A-class Spellcaster. The first being his father.

"I'll let you in on a secret," Rondo said suddenly," you guys don't have English and French classes after the lunch break. The seniors are going to fight you kids in the ground. "All of you vs all of us ."

"WHATTTT! Will you be there too?" Light asked.

"Naturally! I'm going to be the leader of the seniors."

"Wait there will be a leader? Who is ours?"

"Jax Brunya. That Noble blooded bitch." Rondo said angrily. He hated Noblebloods.

As everyone had their magic from a mixture of God's blood and demons blood, those who had more godly attributes are called Noble blood and were given respect. The people who had more of the devil's attributes were called Demon blood and were discriminated against and prejudiced to be crime doers. Somehow after such good flourishing, humans still had their religion unevolved.

" A Creation magic user, he is a force to be reckoned with. He is naturally confident in his own magic." Light was surprisingly good at reading expressions and learning the psyche of other people.

"Well good luck! We have to start our preparations to make the ground in our favor. This activity could help you in getting a good rank so don't mess up! See ya! " Rondo said and left.

"Whatever he said can't change how weak I am, Jax will probably use me for scouting out powerful magic users but any magic-user can project magic faster than I can move " Light thought.

Light went back to his class and started packing his things.
