Thenza was born exactly how he didn’t want to be, a small, scrawny kid that was much lighter than his average age group and he hated it.
And that was what ran through his mind as he crept along the forest floor on his way to take out a small party of goblins that he had spotted creeping around his small town. See everyone was born with a class and an element, Thenza’s were rouge class and wind element he loathed that fact. Ever since he realized what he was he always wanted something more. He wanted to be a strong tall marvelous knight. Someone who was looked up to with a flashy element like fire.
Thenza shook himself back to the present and quickly boosted his speed using his element thinking
“Come on Thenza this will give you so much experience but only if you stay focused”
He got slightly giddy at the prospect of leveling up and getting those nice skill points and thinking of what he would do with them.
“No stop it, you’re getting ahead of yourself, wait until you have them before – “
He immediately shut himself up as he heard footsteps as well as muffled unrecognizable speech. That was the sound of goblins.
He quietly used his wind element to increase his jump height and also some base magic to make himself completely silent
Heart beating fast he contemplated what to do.
“I could appear behind them and quietly stab them” he mused to himself
” or I could feel like a hero and take them out headfirst!”
He said as he jumped straight at the goblins summoning a solid air knife nicknamed swift death
He landed straight on top of one of 5 goblins stabbing it through the skull then flipped off striking at their legs Two down 3 to go he called upon his element to take them up and keep them stationary as he threw his sword at all three of them. Then the evident leader of them used the other two as meat shields

“Damn it! I’m out of mana”
Thenza was freaking out all he was figuring out what in Aran to do, Then the leader goblin ran at him. He was about to dodge when he heard a ‘Hiss Flick!’ and an arrow made of pure ice skewered the beast’s heart.
I looked over and saw exactly who I expected
“Lucia!” I exclaimed, “thank Anthral you’re here um I could have saved myself!”
“I sincerely doubt that Thenza” said Lucia
“whatever”
Lucia was a mildly short curly haired blonde hunter with an ice element and proficiency with a bow
“well back to the point, I guess we’ll share skill points?” Lucia said
“Yeah” Thenza replied
Lucia then opened her menu with the command Arcro, retrieved two small diamond-like crystal and directed it towards Thenza. They sunk into his heart and rejuvenated him greatly
“Hmm what should I use them on?” Thenza pondered
“From what I saw, probably one for element strength and one for mana efficiency” Lucia replied
, “you were watching that entire time weren’t you.” Thenza inquired
“yep” Lucia replied
Thenza hung his head and said
“Arcro”
and added the skill points.

“Come on Thenza it’s the middle of the night we should get back,” Lucia said and then sighed “I wake up way too early to protect you from danger” and she started walking away throwing her bow into the mist.
Thenza yelled after her “I can protect myself you know!”
But she was already gone.
The next morning Thenza barely got home in time for elemental training (compulsory for all kids under 20)
He gathered his things and ran barely getting there in time, sitting with the rest of the wind element and waving a friendly hello to Lucia Neath and Rothan who were in their respective elements being ice, earth and life;
Everyone silenced up as a particular figure ran in, Master Jessie, casually doing a flip and landing in the middle of us all and addressing the class
“Alright everyone, today we will be learning the ways of using your element as a shield”
The entire class responded with a bow and a crisp
“Of Course!”
“Good, you need to focus on the thought of protection and use your element to create a ball around yourself. If your thoughts about what protects you are strong then your shield will be strong, now pack into groups of four different elementals and get practicing your shield strength!”
All of the class bowed and crisply said
“Of Course!”
And ran off to find groups.
Lucia, Rothan, Neath, and Thenza all sent up a white beam of light using the simple level one spell; ‘Beacon’ and met up in the bottom right corner of the training hall to get practicing.
Even after an hour of training, everyone seemed to be having a lot of trouble generating a shield using their element. The fire section was struggling the most as it takes a lot of practice to create solid fire.
“Enough! Gather round!” Master Jessie exclaimed.
“You’ve all have had a red hot go at this, but most of you need some more practice. So go home and keep practicing!” Master Jessie said and then dismissed the class.
As Thenza stumbled out of elemental training he was joined by his friends Neath, Rothan and Lucia
“Hey guys” Thenza yelled
“Hey Thenza” they all replied in unison
And they all walked down the pathway and split off their respective way till Thenza was walking alone and to himself.
“Gee, that was intense,” he said to himself.
“But enjoyable” he admitted.
As he walked in the door of his house he was shocked to smell the beauty of his favorite food, pasta!
He ran down the hallway as fast as his wind element could take him and jumped as fast as he could at the bowl of hot pasta that was sitting on the table before him. As he ate away he was rejuvenated and he went to bed feeling great that particular night, not knowing what was in store for tomorrow.
