Slade Zogg pulled his hood lower over his face and walked tentatively to the huge gates which led into the capital. "Halt! Who are you? State your mission!" came a loud voice.Instantly, five guards appeared, barring Slade's way. Slade stopped, still with his head hunched down and pulled out a black object from his cloak. "I go by the name Kross. I bring news to Lord Kaiser from the hinterland," he said hoarsely The man who obviously seemed to be the leader cautiously reached out and took the black object.He injected mana into it and pulled out a piece of paper. Glancing through the scroll he checked everything was in order and nodded before handing the item back to Zogg. "Why are you in so late?" he asked. "I was delayed," answered Zogg. "Too many folks were coming to the capital today due to the Academy," he added. The guard nodded. That made sense as many people had trooped in today, delaying a good number of people.The black object was called a soul stone. It was something wit
The Favoured Son of Heaven Life in the Academy
The newly accepted students sat in the huge hall were they were having the orientation. Unlike the nobles who couldn't occupy a quarter of the place, the commoners had filled the whole hall. The Dean, miss Celine, Eric, General Hargrave and the tutors were present, sitting on the elevated platform. Beside them, on a smaller platform sat twelve kids their age wearing gold and green robes. One boy at the forefront sat on a seat far higher than that of the others. The newly enrolled students were very excited, looking pristine in their green robes and full of hope and excitement."Well. Before I begin with my delivery, give yourselves a round of applause. It's not easy to enroll into a magic Academy," said Dean West with a kind smile.Immediately the hall broke into claps, catcalls, whistles and yells as the newly enrolled students expressed their joy.Dean West allowed them a few seconds of reverie before raising his hand to cause all noise to cease. "I am Dean West, the dean of the k

The Induction ceremony had gone very well, serving as a source of motivation to the new students to cultivate and train harder for more benefits. As a result, the new students immersed themselves in the lessons being taught by their tutors. Everything seemed to be going on well until..."Look out brother, here comes another one," a voice whispered. His brother nodded and calmly came out of hiding with his brother. Assuming a fake air of nonchalance, he walked a few steps by the side of a wall which led to a sharp turn. Grinning, the elder one intentionally turned abruptly causing whomever was walking on the other side of the building and about to take the curve to crash into him."How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare a filthy commoner like you touch, much more bump into me! You must have a death wish you idiot," the noble frowned and yelled at the commoner who had fallen to the ground from the collision. One would wonder why only the commoner ended up on the ground and not

Memphis walked into the familiar interior of Dean West's office. The Dean stood with his back to Memphis as he looked out the windows of his office."Good day sir, I heard you were after me?" Memphis greeted. The Dean turned and smiled at him, montioning him to take a seat."Memphis my boy, you are smart. What would you think is the reason for my calling you?" the Dean asked as he observed Memphis. Memphis knew there were many reasons which the Dean could send for him but the most prominent being the increase in bullying. He knew this was going to be his first real test as a leader."Is it about the bullying?" he replied. "Yes it is. And I want you to do something about it. Even though it might not be stopped completely, you must lower it to the barest minimum," the Dean said with a smile. Memphis nodded and furrowed his brows deep in thought. Slowly, a path of action began to form in his mind.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Memphis called

With the bullying finally dealt with by the 'mysterious' Avengers, the commoners now had time and freedom of mind to cultivate and train.The academy was much more quiet now as Nobles whiled away time practicing, meditating and cultivating and commoners took their daily lessons.Dean West sat in his office and watched the temporary peace between the two sides and decided it was time to instill rivalry; healthy rivalry between nobles and commoners!Mariah sat up straight with her full attention on the theoretical lesson being given by Tutor Oviedo. For the past weeks, he had been taking the class through Magic Concepts and theories; crucial knowledge which helped a Mage to greatly understand and utilize magic effectively.As Tutor Oviedo was demonstrating a concept to the class, a screen appeared on the wall behind him and the kind face of Dean appeared on the screen."Greetings little ones. I see that you all are trying your best to train, cultivate and learn. Nevertheless, there is s

Celine nodded and walked to the window, looking out in deep thought. "They should be coming by now," said Dean West as he smiled and glanced at the door. His extraordinary senses locking onto twelve youngsters trooping into his building. He smirked and said,"Yes, here they come!"Memphis and eleven others trooped into the Dean's office with curiosity. Miss Celine was also in the office as she had her back to them, looking through a window and wrapped up in her thoughts."Have a seat little ones," said Dean West as he took a sip from a mug and placed it back onto the table. Memphis and the other executives sat in the spacious sofas in the Dean's office and waited patiently for him to talk."Like I announced, a tournament is going to be held for all the students, both nobles and commoners. You lot won't take part though as you are more powerful than your peers. Your presence alone would be intimidating and that is why you can't take part," Dean West begun as he looked at the twelve no
The Favoured Son of Heaven Tournament Begins!
Due to the upcoming tournament, everyone was in a frenzied state of excitement. The arena for the event had been specially decorated and arranged for the start of the tournament.Not everyone was going for the tournament though. Memphis, Cathy and Ralph sat around a table, analysing the mission given. They all had faces full of seriousness as they tried to get their heads around the mission.[Mission]For sometime now, young kids are going missing in Anabrek Village. Your mission is to find out why the children are going missing and what is the cause. If you sense anything out of the ordinary, do not hesitate to retreat as your wellbeing and lives are more important than the mission.Memphis glanced at the paper again as his brows furrowed in thought.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••"How many students registered for the tournament," Dean West asked."2,805 students, both nobles and commoners. More than half registered," replied Miss. Celine."
The Favoured Son of Heaven The tournament 1
With the brutal faceoff between nobles and commoners ongoing, it was hardly surprising that some of the contestants begun to run out of mana, especially the commoners. Seeing this, the nobles attacked with renewed fury, hellbent on eliminating all the commoners!The commoners wouldn't go down without a fight though and they proved that as those out of mana decided to resort to physical means to eliminate the nobles. Though a brace move, it was a foolish one as they became easy targets for the nobles who were rapidly firing spells. The teachers had to step in and quickly remove those trying to get close to the nobles before the nobles' spells hurt them badly."Come on!" a burly contestant roared as he slammed himself into the nobles' hastily erected barrier which they fired spells from behind. He was the first commoner to make it to the nobles' side relatively unscathed. With another roar of defiance, he grabbed a wiry noble cowering behind the wall by the hair and brutally pulled the

"Celine we have a problem," said Dean West. Celine came over to the dean and sat beside him. "What's the matter?" she asked."Some of the groups are in trouble. I need you to head to their locations as fast as you can and bring them here," said Dean West. "Is it Memphis' group? Their mission was a bit dangerous," asked Celine."No. They have problems too but they can handle it," replied the Dean. "Fine. You owe me one Andrew," said Celine and she vanished in a puff of black smoke. The Dean cracked a smile and continued to spectate the matches.**The first part of the round had come to an end. 50 contestants made it but the rest were all eliminated. The next day was much more fierce. The contestants gave their all to see to the elimination of their opponents. With neither side giving an inch, the match was very fun to watch. Just like the first part, only 50 qualified."Alright. Don't start celebrating now after winning your first 1v1. There are three more to go. We now have 100

The Tournament (3)
[Author's Note: Hi guys, it's been some time... I've been having massive problems with my internet connectivity which has made me unable to update rapidly like I am used to. Let's hope it will be resolved soon so that I can make it up to you. Oh, and please do leave reviews so I can know what you think of my book. Thanks!]**While the council were still out completing their missions, the tournament was still ongoing. The second round had ended and it was left with the 400 who had made it from the groups of 10"Congratulations to all of you! It's not been easy but somehow you've made it into the 400. Don't get complacent though because it only gets harder from here," said Eric as he looked down at the remaining 400 participants. There was a cheer from the crowd and the contestants. Clearing his throat, he continued."For making it into the top 400, all of you will be given five low grade potions and 50 crystals. Now on to the rules of this next round. Unlike the other rounds, this r

"I'll come with you," said Hector. Phinehas and the trio were preparing to leave for the caves and Hector wanted to go with them. It was a perfectly logical idea.Besides, the kidnapped kids would tend to recognize the village chief more than the Phinehas and the trio."Okay. Who will look after the village though?" asked Phinehas. "Old Zayn will help out in my absence," replied Hector. Phinehas nodded and looked at Memphis. Memphis shrugged. It was fine by him. An extra Mage wouldn't hurt especially when they were facing the likes of a general level creature. Hector took one last look at his wife. She tried to meet his gaze but glanced downwards, unable to look at her husband. Breathing heavily, Hector stood up and followed Phinehas and the trio. Old Zayn looked at Hannah. "You know that Hector loved you very much? why would you choose to hurt him so?" he asked.Hannah sniffled. "I had no choice," she replied, unable to meet the old man's gaze.**Memphis, Ralph, Cathy, Phinehas an

Freeing the captives (1)
Stu Harper was a very smart kid. Even without anyone telling him anything, he was somehow able to deduce why Hannah, the chief's wife was being stared at like that.He was in a state of shock. Who would have suspected the chief's wife to be kidnapper? Unfortunately it was the truth. He felt very lucky.Stu remembered the times that be and other kids in the village will recieve sweets from the chief's wife. All the kids in the village liked her. How could she do this? Stu could not fathom it.Memphis sighed. He was surprised too. Of all the analysis and deductions he had made, he had never included the chief's wife. Memphis remembered a term in the police circles back on earth. They always said, don't put a crime past anyone. From a child to a an old man, any could be a potential criminal. This situation had confirmed it.Of course, the ones who were shocked the most were Old Zayn and Hector. Old Zayn heavily sat on the ground and kept muttering. Hector meanwhile kneels before his wife

Culprit
The masked woman clicked her tongue in annoyance. She had been tricked by the boy and was now standing on a movement restriction formation. There were many kinds of formations. The basic ones required the Mage to draw the circles and diagrams of the formation along with runes. This was a very tiring process as the drawn formation had to be inch perfect. If there was a lopsided circle, a wrong rune or any outside interference, the rune was bound to spoil.There was another type though which belonged to the rich and elite. This was called an irregular formation. Thus, the formation has already been made and the only thing a person needed to do was to get someone to activate the properties by stepping on it. In terms of space or coverage area, hand drawn formations were the best. Some could span as wide as 100 meters. Irregular formations though were movable and had less chance of failing as the formation had already been made expertly. Chief Hector had long noticed the signal and be

"Whoever is behind this has seriously crossed the line!" Hector fumed. It was almost midnight but he and his wife couldn't sleep.How could they sleep when their only child was kidnapped? You may not understand it until you become a parent yourself. The pain of losing a child and an only one at that was far painful than any form of cruel torture inflicted on the parent. Whether Benjamin was alive or dead, not seeing him for the past hours had been very tough for his parents.Hannah had regained her composure but she sat quietly on the bed, hugging her knees. Earlier, after the trio had gone to bed, he had to go out of the village to unwind, leaving behind fiery destruction before he calmed himself down.After a pause of silence, Hector spoke in a grave tone."I have to go to the city and request the services of a more powerful mage than I," "No that's dangerous. The people of the village need you, Hector. If you leave and anything... happens, what would we say? The... incidents don'

"Hahahaha, the idiot didn't kill me," Laren laughed weakly as he regained consciousness again. The sun was high in the sky, beating down upon him with a vengeance which made his wounds hurt more.His clothes had been destroyed, with a little more than rags covering him. His long hair stood on end while huge cuts and burn marks were all over his body. The greatest damage though was his chest area which had recieved the direct impact of the spell.Had it not been for Laren's high level, clothes which could take the attack of a Commander beast and a defensive artifact coupled with a chaos spell, he would have died from the attack.Every inch of Laren's body was racked with pain as he feebly tried to rise but collapsed again. The only good thing about the attack was that it had not crippled him. Had he been crippled and unable to use magic, that would be unacceptable.Seeing he couldn't get up, he reached for his storage ring which surprisingly worked and took out the communication ball

Benjamin goes missing
After the initial shock of them being Beginner Mages with the rare elements of Lightning, Blessing and Light, the trio were being treated hospitably by the Village head and his wife. Of course, the women who spotted them earlier on came to check on them to see if they were alright.Memphis and Ralph willingly helped out Hector by accompanying him and other men in the village to the small wood to gather sticks and twigs as firewood for the household. They were used by the part time maid who came regularly in the mornings and noon to prepare food. Whenever the chief took Memphis and Ralph there, he and the other men entered the nearby woods as he was confident that the two could at least defend themselves with magic. Besides, the village was not far off and the boys could reach there in no time.Due to this, Memphis and Ralph had long gotten the pieces of wood needed. Memphis was carrying the load with his space element due to no one being around. The other kids would come later but f

Memphis smirked and glanced at Ralph and Cathy. "How good is your acting?" he asked."Fairly good. I think I could pull it off," replied Cathy. "Fairly good? I'm the master! This is going to be a piece of cake," Ralph boasted.In the distance, their sharp eyesight could make out the village. They could see children at play, chasing balls and kites, mothers sitting in the open and gossiping, the earliest men coming from work and the perfect sunset to finish it off.The trio exchanged smiles. "Time to put our plan into action," smiled Memphis. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Three women sat around on stools, probably done with work and exchanging juicy gossip. The eldest one among them leaned over and was sharing gossip with her friends."– and he's now got a kid to deal with! Poor Jonah, he took that fall bad-" "Look yonder, who are those kids?" one of the women stopped the gossip's tirade and pointed at three kids who looked around wearily.
