Shen, Deon and I walked behind the student. He had a orange robe. It had a C on the back. He led us and said “my name is Nadil. You will be in my house. There are 4 houses. SIN, SEN, FIN and FEN. There is no particular order of how people are put in each house. It is up to the head and he does whatever he wants. This is why the other two schools in the Justice Round look down on us. I am leading you to your dorms. The dorms have two classifications male and female. You will have one other dorm mate and he will be arriving shortly with everyone else that passed the exam.” We arrived at a giant wall. There was a set of armour there. Nadil walked up to it and said something. I didn’t hear it. There was a deep rumble as the wall started to move. There was a giant stair case. “is this Hogwarts or something?” I asked Deon
Nadil answered for him “No. We are not in the Harry Potter universe. Get your head out your ass.”
“First rude and uncalled for second your from Earth”
“Yes. We all are. I am from Gaianta.”
“You know what I meant.” He through hi head back and laughed as he walked up the stair case. I followed him clenching my fists. I swung my arm back as I was about to Deon grabbed my hand and pulled me back. “Calm down. Sheesh!” we followed as he said this is the library and if you go up to the fifth floor and take the second left you will be in the house common room. Someone will help you there. I going I need to get back to lesson. I don’t want to get behind some Rukten scum.”
We entered. I looked at Shen and said “you going to take that?” he looked at me and smiled I looked like he remembered something funny. “Well most of the people I know are scum sooo”
I looked around and there was a magic message floating in front of me it said “If you want a book on a topic you just need to say the name of the topic and it will appear before you. There is no fighting or disruption in the library and if you have do not return a book that you take out in 30 day we will find you and punish you.”
What book shall I get? Than that annoying residence in my head said “you should really take out the book of magic flow and control. If you can’t control it you won’t be able to fight at 100% of your true ability and what if you get in to a fight? Do you actually think that they will not use magic because you can’t?” he made a really strong case and learning and fighting is my strong suits so why not? “Chose the lightning volume ok. Good.”
“Err. Can I have the lightning volume of magic flow and control?”
Whoosh!
The book appeared right in front of me. I looked around no one was here. I saw Deon and Shen speaking at a desk so I decided to join them. They were speaking about how to control mana. Shen said “There are these veins that every one that can use magic is born with. Your mana flows through there so you can absorb and discharge mana from your whole body. This is an advantage to the warrior mage types as they can use it to protect their bodies from attacks.”

“What are warrior mages?” Deon asked. “I thought that they were only mages.”
“No. There are four types of people who can use magic. First there are mages. Mages use magic to bombard and over whelm the enemies. However it takes time for them to use it as they need time to focus and ready the mana. The second are warrior mages. These are mages that don’t use mana for spells but in fact to strengthen their weapons and use combat techniques instead of spells. The third are fighters. Fighters use mana to strengthen their bodies so they have no need for weapons or armour. They use martial arts to fight and they outmanoeuvre their enemies and their speed to deal fatal and decisive blows to the opponent. The last are alchemists. They use pills to increase their mana and damage output. They use their pills that they create to get the advantage in battle however they are rare as someone needs an affinity with fire and needs to know a lot of herbs and a teacher which costs money as alchemists don’t bother with their body and focus on making pills to gain fame and fortune. “
“Good to know” I said as I sat down. “So how do you make your mana flow out your body and turn it into your element of choice?”
“There is no such thing as element of choice. You are born with the affinity to only one element. You cannot use another unless you are from the omega dragons or omega demons race. And they are so secretive that people think that they are a myth.”
“Why don’t you think that they are a myth?”
“That’s simple. My family have been attacked by demons that can use 2 elements before and we have spells to defeat them as we are their enemies.”
“Ok.” I flipped open my book and started to read. It said that people make their mana flow from their soul realm to strengthen it and make it more potent. This is called cultivation. First you need to make a harmonize your element with your body to find the location of your soul realm. It is in a different place to everyone. The better the harmony between your element and your soul realm the stronger your connection to it and the better quality of your mana.
“How do you harmonize your element to your soul realm?” I asked myself. I thought long and hard about this then a certain someone decided to help me out “That is bullshit! Your quality of your mana is not about how you find your soul realm. Go to the librarian and ask him for the same book but written by Setna.” I walked up to the librarian’s desk and asked him “Do you have this book but written by Setna instead of Malacove?” the man looked at me and smiled, he turned and said something in a dialect I didn’t understand. He turned back and looked at me and said “Yes we do. Would you like to take it out?”
“No, thank you. I just want to read it.” He looked at me strangely and gave me a thick grey book. There was a gold lining on the edges. I took it and sat back down. I opened it and it was all symbols. I went back and asked for one in English but they just laughed and he said “Only the title has been translated so we know what it’s about but not what it says. We hope someone can decipher it so most people tack it out not to read it. Would you like to take it out or hand it back?”
“I wrote it I can also decipher it keep it.” I decided to listen to the voice inside my head and not the person that informed me that it was encrypted. I sat back down and Shen said “that is encrypted so if I would return it and get a copy of Malacove.”
I gritted my teeth and said “ I know and I’m going to decipher the encryption.”
