“Miss Ameria, could you please show interest in the studies. Its nearly half a year and you are still looked so uninterested. What is it? Is something bothering you?” a teacher ask Ameria who is sitting across the room and she still remained silent. “Look here miss Ameria. You are one of the assets of the kingdom as of now. The moment your parents agreed to send you here, you are already our responsibility and his highness the king will surely hate it if one of his assets will be of no use at all. Do you understand what I am saying?” the teacher asked Ameria.
He stayed and waited for her response but she still remained silent after all of that. “I want to understand what you are going through miss Ameria but if you don’t say a thing I will not be able to help you.” Even with all the persuasion of the teacher, Ameria still remained silent. “If you ever feel burdened and you can’t handle it anymore. Please approach me. I will do my best to understand you and hIn the year 383 when the human civilization had just started discovering things and building their own empire, people started exhibiting questionable and strange abilities after the great colonial war had ended. Most of the people are still not aware of such a thing but due to the number of children showing abilities that any normal human don’t have, they grew wary and thought that they are cursed. Thinking that the children are spawns of the devil, they decided to do an inhumane act and that is to burn all the children that exhibit special abilities. The children are hunted down and burned at the center of the village, parent watch their children burn to death because of their fear towards them but there are also some parents that chose to hide that their children have special abilities and kept it from ever being know to strangers, even their friends. It all continued for almost two years. Hundreds, thousands of children died all ove
The attempts of the other kingdoms proved to be futile after they have already trampled on the lives of so many children. Though there are some that were blinded by the offers of their kingdoms and were treated according to what they have promised but they are already too late, the first kingdom to have accepted the Carriers as they really are have already advance too far for the other kingdoms to catch up. A few years later after the horrifying events that had occurred in the entire world that cost the lives of so many children, people started to act normally even after seeing a young adult use their awakened ability. The other kingdoms started to see them as treasures so they are more privileged than normal citizens. Seeing how the Carriers were treated, most of the youngsters had decided to reveal that they are Carriers, immediately getting the best education and life. But they are to prove that they are actually Carriers before the government issue them a
The old vendor got stabbed in her sides and Zed immediately rushes in to help her but the men blocked him. “Move!” the men just laughed and actually injured him with the knife as well. “Really? Does that give you the answer?” the man said with a smile on his face. Zed then saw the old vendor trying to gasp for air and he knows that she doesn’t have much time left. “Move or I will be forced to use any means to move you by force!” the men mocked him after saying those words because he is a child. And he knows that it might be the reason why they are acting like that but what matters to him the most right now is to save the old vendor from dying. “This is all my fault! She got stabbed because I butt in! Zed you mindless fool!” he cursed himself as the men continues to call him names and even laughed at the old vendor who is on her dying moments. “So what are you going to do kid?” “I will move you by force.” Zed responded as the sky turned dark all of the sudden
“What you did yesterday is really unnecessary Zed. What give you the idea that you should be doing that? I thought you don’t want people to know that you are a carrier?” his master asked after the next day. “I don’t know master, it just popped up in my head. Maybe my feelings got hurt when the old vendor got injured because of my stupidity.” The master continues to smile and water the plants and forgives Zed. “That is fine. I know exactly how you feel. In that case just thank Krono for taking care of everything in your stead. He did spent an awful lot of time just to take care of the people that you injured though I have to say, your summon seems to be a lot obedient that time to be doing what you want it to do.” Zed got surprised of what his master said and looks at him. “What do you mean? All I did was summon him and did what you have told me to do and order him in my head.” The master just smiled without looking at the young man w
Zed passed by Ameria’s house like it was any normal day to him and forgot that his new instructor, Ms. Gwen told him of her presence during their training. “Hmm that’s really strange, this is the first time that she did not bother me on my way back home.” He stopped for a moment and wondered what might be the reason and then continues on before her mother starts yelling at him for trying to talk to her daughter. “I guess that would be great. She will never have to get scolded again. She might get hurt because of me if she continues to follow me everyday.” He sad to himself as he enters is home. “I’m back.” He used to say this even when he is the only one living in that house after his parents abandoned that city because of their debts, Zed was playing outside when all of his family members left and went to who knows where, leaving only Zed to live by himself ever since they disappeared, with only Ameria being the only friend that he ever got close to because
Zed went back to the mansion where his master is already waiting for him. “Have you read the letter?” Krono asked after Zed arrives in front of the mansion like twig who is almost about to be blown away by the wind. “Yes. I have read it after you have left. Mr. Krono, can you tell how to be a strong person?” Krono looks at him and smiles after hearing that the has that in his mind when he is almost at deaths door. “I think you better ask the master about that instead of me. I am not the best person so be asked such things. My knowledge is limited to some extent.” Krono responded and opens the door for him. “They are waiting for you. You better not make them impatient now.” A smile crept on Krono’s face after. Seeing the Krono doesn’t have any intention of telling him anything, Zed accept the invitation and went inside where he saw Ven and Gwen waiting for him on the other side of the door. “Took you too long. We were wondering if you might have died on hunger
Zed had gone through a lot of pain just with Gwen’s training alone but all of the were healed when he talks with Krono who encourages him not to give up and continue to be faithful. He endured that kind of training for almost a year where he got numb from all the pain that Gwen was able to inflict on him that even she got surprised about it as well. And one day, Zed showed her that he is no longer capable of feeling the pain that she can do to him. BAM! “What the hell is with this guy? Its only been a few months since he got used to the pain of my attacks but he is showing now signs of pain now.” She said to herself after landing a clean hit to the pit of his stomach. “Looks like you have gone through the pain.” She said with a smile on her face. “I don’t know. Maybe I just got used to the pain that I am feeling everyday, especially when you try to put so much force on your attacks.” He said with an indifferent tone and gives her the l
After that little incident, Zed fainted and wakes up a week after. “Ah- my head hurts.” He said softly and found that he is inside his room with his masters looking at him in surprise. “What happened?” he asked the two are seems to be a bit surprised of his sudden awakening. Not much, you just slept for almost week is all.” Gwen said as if it was a normal thing to happen with a casual tone. Zed looks at his master Ven for a confirmation and he slightly nod his head. “For a week? I was asleep for that long?” “Well that is normal whenever a Carrier is able to accept his ability as his own. Though people would normally fall asleep for a day or two but this is my first time encountering someone that fell asleep for almost a week.” Ven told him and clapped his hands to his disciple for completing the training. “Though it is normal to see people sleeping for almost every last stage, their sleeping are always the one that determines how strong their abilities are a

“I am not going to let him ruin everything for me.” Ven said as he sternly looks at the direction of the academy. “Your highness. I don’t want to sound a bit rude but your sudden appearance might have caused a commotion.” Percy muttered after the visit of the king had reached the end. “Its such a waste that I will not be able to see Ven’s successor but I think I will see him very soon.” The king said with a smile and them looks at Percy with a bit of suspicion. “But the. Again, I get to enjoy walking around the academy after a long time of nit being able to visit this place.” He said to himself while Percy on the other hand wants him to leave before Ven could arrive at the academy.“That you very much for letting me ruin the peace inside the academy even just for today. I am really glad to have seen students that are serious about their studies.” The king arranged everything that would not greatly disturbed the students of his arrival but it turned out or be diffe
“Huh? He is going to visit the academy?” Ven asked Krono after getting the report that the king will be visiting the academy in surprise. “That- Krono, prepare to leave immediately.” He said as Krono gives him the things that he need. “I have already seen this coming master. That is why I have prepared everything in advance.” Ven pat Krono’s back and went straight for the carriage. “To the academy. And please hurry.” “Your majesty.” Percy bows his head in the presence of the king. “I am glad to have you visit the academy your majesty. What is it that you want to have gone all the way here?” Percy can already imagine what the king wants to do but pretends to be ignorant about it. “I heard it. I heard the news about the incident just recently. Yesterday to be precise.” Percy is hearing that for the first time and stares at his king showing the expression that he has when he has no idea what the king is talking about written all over his face. “Pardon me your majest
After the bombardment of things that she told him, they heard Cladius calling out to them. “I was a bit late since there are a lot of things that my family asked me after what happened yesterday.” Kate could relate to what he just said and had experienced that same thing as well. “Our parents are quite the same so I can understand and imagine what he had gone through.” She added and then the two continues to talk about what he did and their voice are a bit loud so Zed pleaded for them to stop talking about it, but the two are so connected with each other that they immediately thought of the same thing and talked about it softly. “They really are a couple.” He said to himself and then their talk was cut when they reach Kate’s room. “See you guys later!” her friends immediately pulls her inside the room and bid goodbye to Cladius who had already anticipated that it would happen. “Does that happen usually?” Zed asked after seeing it for the first time. “Well, her fr
“Thanks for letting us visit you even though you are so busy these days.” One of the guests muttered after walking out of the residence. “Not at all. I was a bit surprised of what really happened earlier but then again, thanks for helping me earlier with the trouble.” The guests laughs at him and said that he changed drastically ever since he arrived. “There is no problem at all. But its still a surprise that you have changed. Looking at you, it must be because of moving to that kingdom for years.” Ven just smiled and see them off.“You can come out now Hannah.” He said with a smile on his face. “I see that you have also arrived Zed. I suppose that you went on your way and explore the city even more after what happened?” he added as Zed feels like he is in danger after seeing the expression on his master’s face. “Please, come inside the mansion Zed. We have things that we need to talk about.” Zed can already feel the daggers slicing his skin after seein
His master talks to the soldiers and Carriers that Zed is acquainted with the master and that he will take care of it from now on and told Zed to leave now. “I already got it covered. Leave and rest. You still have to attend class tomorrow.” He said as Zed slowly walks away after waving his hand good bye. “So that is him huh? To have taken care of this many people alone. He must have really been trained hard by the both of you.” A bald man said after seeing the number people that Zed took down. “Yeah, I guess you can call him that but seriously. Did you tell him to take care of himself more? I mean look at this mess? What if he failed to defeat these guys?” Gwen sounded like a worried master all of the sudden that it made Ven burst in laughter. “Sorry about that but you used to be the one beating him up and now you care about him, I think that is quite the change of attitude.” Gwen quickly strangles Ven to keep him from ever saying anything more while their compa
“I did not expect that he is the apprentice of master Ven of all people, that only explains why he is so strong.” One of the parents who are sitting inside the pub after the visit to the headmaster’s office. “I know right. I did not expect that at all.” “Neither one of us expected that and we are literally caught off guard by that reveal but since he is just an apprentice, there is a limit as to how long master Ven can be on his defense.” The other parents looked at that certain parent and then smiles. “If you have a plan then let us hear it.” “What do you think will happen master? I think that is the start of it all. I don’t think they will stop until they get their revenge.” Krono suggested and Ven ultimately agrees. “I know, that is why I am planning to announce to everyone that Zed is my successor, that way he can have a bot of protection even if we are not around.” Krono had already seen that coming from his masters mouth and he can’t deny tha
The new body of the student council were trying to talk more to their senior when he refuse to respond to a single question that they throw at him. “I am here with the master and I have no intention of answering any of your questions. You are the student council of the academy, you should act like you are one while inside the academy.” He said with a stern tone and suddenly made them act formally. “Senior Krono, seniors. I don’t think that I should be listening to this, I am going to excuse myself so that you can talk comfortably.” Zed tried to run away but Krono grabbed his back collar. “Where do you think you are going? The master will be out soon and he will surely look for you if he doesn’t find you anywhere.” Krono said with a casual tone. The student council members were in awe after seeing that their senior can talk like that to a junior. “Senior Krono, are you saying that you both have the same master? As in master Ven?” Krono
“That is unacceptable! We are not going to pretend like nothing happened because you told us so headmaster Percy. That kid almost killed our children! And you are going to tell us to keep ourselves calm?!” a parent of one of the bullies expressed their utter disapproval of what the headmaster suggested. “He is right headmaster, you have to at least tell us the reason why we should keep ourselves calm in this situation.” Another one added. “Just like I suggested, please calm down Mr. Gude and Mrs. Kelran. I wanted to tell you the reason but a friend of mine, the guardian of the kid that did almost harmed your children is going to come here to check on that kid himself. So all that we have to do is wait for him to arrive and we will start to talk about everything.” Headmaster Percy said with a calm tone even though the expressions on their faces says that they are ready to chew him off in anger.“Who could have raise such a kid that has tendencies to kill like that.
