Introduction

The beginning of summer was marked by the celebration of Tardes Academy graduates. Representatives of various nobility from all over the world gathered in the capital of the Land of Wind - the city of Windhelm.

The annual event of Tardes graduates is held on the third of June on the Senate Square of the capital, and the award ceremony is carried out personally by the feudal lord of the Wind. In this year, seven hundred and twentieth from the Great War of Liberation, the feudal lords of Waterfalls, Snow and Fire also came to celebrate. Preparations for the event began a month in advance, so now the entire city is decorated with banners, garlands and other things.

Raito Hakami also completed his studies this year.

Early in the morning, at five o'clock, Raito and his friend Kobo Jonsen were meditating on the opposite bank of the Heibel River, which flows around the island of Windhelm, on which the capital is located.

-It's beautiful today. -Ren said as he approached

-Can't you see that we are busy? -Kobo said

-Raito leaves at Senate Square at eight. It's already seven.

-Today I managed to meditate even longer than usual. - Said Raito, getting up and picking up his cape that was hanging on a tree branch.

-Longer than usual?! If Ren had not collapsed, we would have been able to sit still.

-Today is truly an important day, and I still want to take a shower.

-Man, two years ago I appeared in front of the feudal lord in whatever clothes I had. How special it is for you, Raito.

-Nobody is forcing you to leave, Kobo. You can continue your meditation. - Ren said.

- No, since you raised me, I'll go too.

The sun was already warming the lands of the Wind with all its might. Kobo, Raito and Ren walked through the forest path towards the eastern bridge.

-Tomorrow we will need to open a shop. - Said Raito, looking at his swords.

-Tomorrow? This year sunny days began much later, the square will be opened only at the weekend.

-Well, then we'll open it at the weekend. It's getting too boring.

-Aren't my notes enough for you? -Ren asked

-No, that's enough, thank you. It's just that the element won't manifest itself, just try to appeal to mine, something wiser is needed here.

-What is your element? -Kobo asked

-Have you meditated your entire brain?

-No, I'm serious. How can you know your element?

-Kobo, you have serious problems if you ask such questions.

Kobo hit Raito on the shoulder. A fight ensued.

-What is the problem to answer?

-Guys, I'm in the other direction, see you later. -Ren said

-I didn't even think that you might not know. - Said Raito, ignoring Ren's words.

-It happens to everyone, I studied other things at the academy.

- It's not even about the academy. You and I both come from families that inherit the element. Mine is Hakami, everyone there inherited a rare purple lightning, yours is Jonsen, you inherit a stone, so you awakened this element.

-How do you know about this?

-I read it in the library.

-I don't hang out in places like this.
