Officer John

Karl felt energized and relaxed as he woke up on his hospital bed. He took a breath of air, and could feel the air travel inside his body, energizing it. ' oh wait, it is mana' Karl realized but for some reason he could not see it surrounding him as he did before but could definitely feel it's presence all around him.

Karl saw a blue screen pop up in front of him.

. "Hi, I am Officer John" a young man sat beside the bed on a stool and introduced himself, his smooth and angular face had a small cut on his right cheek, black military style hair and he wore black-blue military uniform.

"I know that feeling, sensing mana in your body, letting your body surrender to the warm embrace of its power" John said looking at the relaxed expression on Karl's face.

"First of all, who are you? And why are you here?" Karl asked.

"Oh sorry, only name is not enough so, to answer your first question, I am your newly assigned military handler and as for the second question I am here to investigate the events that happened two days ago" john said with a serious tone looking at Karl. Karl gulped in tension, thinking that he would to suffer grave consequences to his actions. "I will be happy to help you in your investigating" Karl put an brave smile on his face and looked at officer john.

"There is no need for your help, I have already investigated and aware of the events that transpired." John said looking at Karl with no emotions. "And my conclusion is that you have committed…" john looked at Karl with that emotionless eyes and continued "a truly wonderful job."

Suddenly john started to laugh "sorry for that man, but you made me wait for you for 8 hours and I just wanted to get back at you." John looked at Karl and found the same emotionless stare at him. "Hey come on man, I usually get an angry or confused look, don't take the fun away from it."

'THAT IS WHAT YOU DESERVE, YOU WEIRDO' Karl thought.

John's laughter stopped down. "Ok, sorry for that and let talk about why I am here"

Karl interrupted by saying "are you really a military official? Or just an actor who has decided to ruin my day." Karl said with that same emotionless stare and then broke into laughter.

"OK, ok calm down, I deserved that, a little harsher but its ok, now on the serious note, I am your temporary handler and I have an offer for you."

"Ok, I'll hear what you have to say." Karl said calming down and genuinely taking an interest in what officer john has to say.

" so, I will start with what made us interested in you, first you defeated an level 2 mana manipulator who had an low-class mana weapon, second you did it for the right reasons, at least that's what I think or you did it for revenge, it doesn't matter, and what matters is that you defeated him while being a level 1 So, we want to recruit you for an special team and if you join I will be your personal handler between you and the military, you will not join the military but will be just working for them, are you interested?" john said.

"Shouldn't we talk in a more private location? And how are you sure that I am just a level 1 user." Karl asked.

"Don't worry, it is a military hospital and the whole ward is empty, I took care of it when I got here." Karl now realized that it was quite and there were no nurses around. "And I have a reader that can read people's mana capacity."John said and then moved his hand in the air and took out a mana reader from thin air. "And I am a high-level conjurer too."

John held a rectangular gadget which had a mana stone below a digital screen. John started it and pointed it at Karl's direction, the stone started to glow up and sucked a little of Karl's mana into the device which surprised Karl.

" don't worry it only happened because you have no control over your mana, as you level up and decide to walk the path of a Conjurer or Elementalists it will not happen."

The reader at his hand showed 10. " see, only 10 mana capacity. you are level 1 and what do you think about my offer?" john said.

"I'll have to think about it." Karl said.

John looked a little disappointed but he took out a card at gave it Karl "you can contact me through this" john said and stood up to leave "oh, I almost forgot someone is here to meet you."

Karl then saw a black haired thin man about his height come toward him and Bowe down "Hel..Hello, my name is ted. Thank you for saving my life. When there was no one to save me you stepped up and saved my life. I couldn't do much but here accept it." Ted handled Karl a metal card.

"No, I can't accept this. I didn't do it for the money" Karl argued. "You should appreciate this gesture Mr. locklan, after all you will have to pay the hospital bills and I hear that you are broke."John said with a smile.

Karl got embarrassed and shot a glance at john "Ok, I will keep. Thank you for the gift ted."

"You're welcome" ted said with a big and grateful smile and then walked away with his parents.

John smiled seeing this and said "About that mat guy, a trial will be held against him for using illegal weapon and attacking his fellow student but he is connected to a big powerhouse so, sooner or later he will get out of trouble but the military will protect them from now on."

'This would have never happened if the society was not this unfair.' Karl thought. A fire ignited in his eyes, he wanted to change the world and now he had means to do so.

John saw the fire in Karl's eyes and a smile appeared on his face. "You know Karl, there is going to be a test on moonlight city in two days for entering magic academy, and I am not saying that you should reject my offer and then go to that city and take the test, ok. It's totally your decision and that card I gave you has other uses as well by the way." John winked at Karl while leaving.

Karl was a little confused at first but soon realized that john wanted him to join magic academy rather than the military. 'He is not that bad' Karl thought with a smile on his face.

Karl's focus soon directed into the message that he got when he woke up.
