"Mr. Musashi. You are a legend. We still haven't forgotten you killed the first Shadow General in 200 years." He looked at me, smiled, and replied, "It was nothing." He was about 6 feet 2 with the same hair and eye color as me. He looked at all of us and added, "Now I will show you to your homeroom teachers." He walked; we followed him. We followed him to a hall where there were 4 people waiting.

He spoke loudly. "People who have ID numbers 981-1000 are in class 1A and have Mrs. Sakura Hanami. 1001-1020 are in class 1B and have Mr. Kalah Sigan. 1021-1040 are in class 1C and have Tsukasa Kanzaki. 1041-1060 are in class 1D and have Takashi Daiki." "Oh, Sakura Hanami is our homeroom teacher. Wait... Are you kidding me? The Sakura Hanami. The one who killed the Bermuda Triangle sea serpent!" She had black hair, a slim figure, and purple eyes. Whiteish brown skin.

Musashi continued, "Well then, please come to the training grounds to know your technique attribute." We went to the training ground, and we were getting tested one by one. With a spell and the name of the technique appearing on a piece of paper. When it was my turn, the tester said, "Reveal thy powers." At first it was written 'Dark.' The tester said, "Oh, that's a good one." Then another word appeared beneath it. It said 'Steal'. He screamed, "Musashi sir! You need to see this!"

Musashi came in the tent, saying annoyedly, "What!" The tester, who was almost fainting, said to Musashi, "Sir. His attributes are Dark and..." Musashi retorted, "Spit it out!" The tester whimpered cowardly, "And Steal!" Musashi's mouth dropped. He continued, "And his 2 bracelets are the gold twins. Used by the first sorcerer king. They have the very ability to make any weapon with adjustments from any part of the body, anytime and anywhere."

Musashi smiled, "Meet me after this, Akarui. In my office." I replied confusedly, "Okay?"

"Good"

Why are they acting like they are scared and happy at the same time?

I went to the waiting area, which had shade. Kaede came running. "What happened." She said excited. "I got Light." "That is amazing." She asked, "What about you?" "Apparently, I got something called Steal. Oh, and Dark." "No way 2?" "What is steal? What now?" She said it with a hint of jealousy for some reason." "Mr. Musashi called me to his office. I should probably leave now." I waved Kaede bye and went to his office. I knocked. He said, "Come in!"

I went in, and he spoke. "Please take a seat." After I took a seat, he continued, "Your technique, Steal is a forgotten power. It allows the user to get the person they kill's strength attribute, chi capacity, and memories. So, if you kill someone whose attribute is Nature you get his strength and memories, and you can also use the technique of nature. Of course you can also increase your power with training." "Oh, this is a lot to take in. So, it's a level up with every kill and stealing your opponent's strength, chi capacity, attribute, and experience." He said it enthusiastically with his thumbs up. "Exactly!"

He continued, "Well, then get going. Oh, and call me Gramps, please." "What. I am sorry, sir. I heard 'Gramps'." He said it happily. "Well, that's good your ears work. Yep, call me Gramps, please." "What... why?" He said, smiling, "Because you are like a grandson!" "You just knew me for 1 hour."

He replied, "I knew your sister. She was like a granddaughter. She talked about you all the time. Always praising you." "Oh, really?. Then I'll call you gramps." He approved, "Thank you. Now head back to the training grounds, please." "Yeah ok. See soon... Gramps." He gave me a warm smile. He is a good person.

I reached back to the training grounds. Kaede had her hands on her hips, looking a bit annoyed. "Now do you know why I looked so jealous?" "Yeah... I don't blame you." "Alright, class 1A! Let's go to our homeroom. Follow me, please." Mrs. Sakura called us back. We walked into a huge classroom, which was like a normal modern class but more luxurious, with soft chairs and high-quality tables. The partition wall was fully made out of glass.

Mrs. Sakura spoke "Allright, welcome. Please take a seat anywhere you like. We are going to start with a brief theory of Chi and magic." Me and Kaede chose the back, right next to the window wall. Mrs. Sakura continued, "First of all, techniques are powered by Unorthodox chi that runs in Sorcerers. The manipulation of chi makes techniques. Mages are people that don't have Unorthodox Chi or people who are compatible with a technique but they prefer to use magic instead, so they manipulate Orthodox Chi into magic and use it. The difference between them is that everyone can use magic, while people can only use a technique they are compatible with, if any. Orthodox chi flows in everyone, by the way. Most fighting styles require only Orthodox chi. Only-"

A student interrupted, "What are fighting styles?" I answered, "It's basically a type of fighting method by manipulating chi." Mrs. Sakura was taken aback. "Impressive. How do you know this?" "Let's just say someone taught me." "Hmm... All right."

"Ahem. back to the class. There are numerous techniques, magic, and fighting styles. Some people even make their own by making similar ones. They are called branches. An example is that Vine manipulation is a branch from Nature manipulation. Now before moving onto the basics. Only the Sorcerer King's bloodline has a high chance to be compatible with more than two techniques, but a few people have been reported to use two... Any questions?"

"Yes... Why can't we use any technique we want?" A girl asked.

Mrs. Sakura thought and answered, "Good question. It's because a person is built for a specific technique. It depends on the Unorthodox chi cells that run in your blood and body. Magic and fighting styles use only Orthodox chi, which is present in all living beings. Unless you apply chi to objects. Anyway, that's for another time. You can increase your capacity by training with chi. Can I continue now, or are there any other questions?"

"Please... you can move on."

She took a marker and started to note down everything she said in points, "Great. Now there are 1000 levels. And after that there is a hierarchy called category. There are 5 categories. Category 5 to 1. 5 being the lowest and 1 being the strongest. Your level is determined by your strength. You can apply for a level tester anytime you would like. Now there are some creatures that are naked to the human eye. You can use external wear, or you can use all sight. You unlock all sight by focusing on your chi. After that, you can unlock it just by thinking or naturally. You can unlock bonuses with all sight. Like Search to map your surrounding areas in your mind for a certain radius; the more chi, the more radius. And you can slow down your sense of time so when you move slowly, you are actually fast; there are many more perks." Geez, this is a lot to process.

"How do you become an Elite?" I asked. The class fell silent.

Mrs. Sakura replied with a bit of shock, "An Elite? It is very hard. You got to be Category 1. An elite has to retire or die. And you got to pass the test held by the 11 Elite, or in this case 10 since you are trying to be the eleventh member, and Sorcerer King. And most importantly, you have to kill something over Category 3. I am guessing you are planning something big."

It is hard, but I will become an Elite or die trying.

"Thank you."

Mrs. Sakura stood up from her table and announced, "School is over. I will now show you to your dormitories." We walked to an area with 19 buildings, which had 2 stories each. Mrs. Sakura announced, "There are 19 dormitory buildings. 4 for each year group. 1 for each class. And one separate for staff. There are 30 rooms in each one. 5 rooms that house 4 people, 5 for 2 people, and the rest for singles. You can choose which room and the people you want to bunk with. Devices are allowed, no curfew. Well, I should get going. Oh, and there is a common room. Good night.

After we went inside, two people walked up to us. The boy looked a bit younger than me. Blue hair, 5 feet 7, blue eyes. And the girl looked around the boy's age. Purple hair, dark pink eyes, 5 feet 7 too. The boy spoke, "Hi, I'm Akira, and she is Sakura. Our attributes are blood and fire. Do you want to bunk together?" Me and Kaede replied, "Sure... Why not?"
