Awoken a Slave

Where am I?... What am I doing here? Questions filled the head of a young lad who seemed no older than fifteen years.

'Splash' "Ahh!" The boy shouted. Anyone would if they had suddenly been poured with ice-cold water...

"Get the hell up! You have things to do!" A middle-aged man who looked like someone owed him money suddenly spoke out. Judging from his appearance he didn't look like a bad person, in fact, he looked kind-hearted, but what could he do in his position. His expression was clearly disgusted at what he was doing.

'Something to do? What does he mean?' As he tried to process his thoughts, he was going through a mental breakdown.

"Hey, you listening to what I'm saying?" this man said as he kicked the boy onto the floor. And because they were in a cave, it was quite painful.

"Ugh" he let out a squeal, 'I'm a slave, aren't I? I...why am I a slave? Why? 'he said screaming, but of course, in reality, he dare not make a sound.

The boy remembered. His real name was Alexander Green. He was from a noble family but he had awoken with the Fire Element instead of Wind. The Green's were a family of the Wind Element, but every once in a while someone with the Fire Element would be born, and the Green's saw it as ill fate, so much so that any child born of the Fire element would be sold once they reached the appropriate age. But sometimes they would die mysteriously...

Though Alex had no resentment, his father was forced to a corner and had to sell him. Not without someone protecting though, but he was still human and he was naturally angry, for this reason, he abandoned his family name.

"Hey kid, I just remembered, I gotta take down your name and age. You listening, I want your name?" When he saw that the boy was in a daze he sighed.

'Name, What's my name? '

"It's... A.. Alexander I'm 13 this year." he said with a bit of hesitation.

"Alexander? Ok! Get yourself cleaned, at dawn we move to get your talent for magic tested, in Clover Academy."

"Are you listening to me kid, or do you need another beating?"

"Ye... Yes Sir!" Alexander said with a quick response. He was in shock that he would get to go to Clover Academy. After all, it was the best Academy in their nation.

....

In this continent 'Magic' was prominent and talent was necessary. Being talented made you have value, otherwise, you would be just like every other person, amounting to nothing, but of course, there will always be exceptions...

This realm was named Apotheosis. As for when it was named, and who named it no one really knows...

'I don't really get what this talent this and that is, my parents wouldn't be let me near anything magic since I was young, but they let me read a lot of books on them at least. ' he thought to himself as he came out the bath-house.

On his way to the dressing room, he felt eyes staring at him, some aggressive, some had envy in them, all because of how smooth his skin looked, then again he was quite handsome. Green eyes, long black hair, and the body that was well developed, just because he wasn't taught anything on magic, didn't mean he didn't exercise. "Kid, your build is perfect." the man from before called out, "Take note, we'll be heading out soon."

The bathroom and dressing room belonged to the servants or slave masters, how else could slaves have a bath...

'This will be a journey of the World,' he thought, 'A journey of my Adventure.'

...

"Umm, sir, what do you mean by checking my talent?" Alexander asked nervously. Though he was from a noble family he spent most of his time on books about business and economy, and magic, but as for basic magic knowledge, he knew nothing.

"You kidding, right kid. Everyone knows that they test your talent for magic if you want to be admitted to any academy, but considering you're all orphans, who have been traumatized I wouldn't expect you to remember." the man answered. He didn't know that Alexander was noble.

'So I'm an orphan, huh, I guess, that's true, for now. But what does mean by traumatized ?' he thought to himself.

"Sir, may I know your name?" Alexander asked quickly, hoping he would get an answer. "Kid just call me Senior. Don't you dare go making fun of the name kid, you hear... " Senior said as he smacked him on the head.

'Senior huh, I guess since there's a name junior why can't the name Senior exist ' he took note in his head. 'Well Clover Academy, here I come...'

.....

In a place quite a distance from Alexander...

"Have you found the kid?" said a middle-aged man who's current expression would kill if looks could kill.

"N. N.No sir." the lackey kneeling before him managed to say.

"Ha Hah! Good, good. Now die!" As he said this the lackey from earlier exploded, though if you were to slow down time you would see a guard that was standing behind the middle-aged man move, before using high-level explosive magic to kill the lackey.

"Well Alexander Green, let's see how long you can hide, your Uncle Merlin will find you eventually," the middle-aged man named Merlin muttered to himself, before ordering a guard to clean up the mess from earlier.
