Many Noble families had huge businesses which made them extremely important to the kingdom. It was through some of these businesses that they earned their income. In Balvan, there were two forms of currencies. Mana crystals and coins. Most often, the rich and powerful did their exchanges with mana crystals but due to commoners being too poor to afford it, the coins were created for them so that they could also trade easily. the coins were in three different forms. Copper coins, Silver coins and Gold coins. 100 Copper coins equals 1 Silver coin, 10 Silver coins equals 1 Gold coin and 1000 Gold coins equals one mana crystal.The businesses most often led to clashes especially if they were in the same business. Some too would collaborate due to mutual benefits they could have. The Lerains were into potion and pill making, the Zerons were into Formations, the Murkhams and Kincaids were into Guilds and so on. Due to this, they were constantly recruiting needy geniuses and talents from town
A year had passed by quickly and Memphis had come to love the thrill of hunting. So far he had hunted beasts at his level and also primitive beasts of all kinds. He was very pleased as he kept learning new things from every battle, allowing him to create more spells and better himself in his style of fighting. Unknown to him, a certain being had been watching his progress carefully. It was the Lord of the Mavellis forest, a Mythical Tyrannical Flame Lion called Mansoor. Adventurers and mages always entered the Mavellis forest but he took no notice of them but this boy was a special one. It couldn't tell what made the boy special but it felt some mysterious energy in him which was filled with godly essence. Naturally, Mansoor shouldn't have been able to sense it but he had a lucky encounter with something similar which had helped evolve him into a very powerful Mythical beast. Had it not been that he sensed a powerful aura following and protecting the boy from the shadows, he would hav
After that battle with the Shadow Panther, Memphis knew he was seriously lacking in terms of strength so he had to work diligently on it. Scarlet had become much larger than before and after eating the fruit and heart of the Shadow panther, it had now become half Memphis' size and was a Warrior level beast!Now Scarlet had red and gold feathers, sharp eyes and didn't look as weak as the time Memphis found it. Now it could coat itself with flames and shoot fiery feathers from the wings, alongside fire from its beak. Memphis was glad that he at least had a strong summon above his level.Memphis continued his training, diligently cultivating and training his body, trying to master the stances and skills he had learnt in the book.••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••He wasn't the only one though who had become stronger. In the Zeron training room, a lanky boy with raven black, almost dark blue hair and purple eyes took a deep breath and channelled his mana.
In other Noble houses, various heads and nobles recieved the emergency meeting summons and immediately started making preparations to go to the palace. The king sat on his throne in a large hall, reading the report that Stefan, his right hand man, had compiled for him.Now that the organization knew that they had a target on their back, they had switched to using local criminals and Daris' Underworld for the dirty work. Of course, the criminals were more than happy to capture a few snotty brats here and there for a good sum. So far, those in the Organization whom the kingdom had managed to arrest these past months were all famous rogue mages and criminals. They all alleged that it was a hired work. Apparently, a mysterious person by the name Slade Zogg had posted that mission with a huge rewards.The mysterious man called Slade then invited them to a certain location and gave them the list of geniuses they wanted to capture, their residences and areas they visited frequently, alongsid
"As I informed you all earlier when we last met, I'm pleased to announce that the expansion of the academies alongside the necessary security measures are moving on smoothly," Dean West said. He took out a blue bracelet from his storage ring and lifted it for all to see."This is a high level tracking artifact, a masterpiece made personally by Master Gordon Smith. With this, all the students will be made to have this bracelet at all times which is linked to a special tracking device in the school. Thus, we can monitor what happens to the young talents and instantly act in times of trouble," said Dean West with a smile."A question, Dean. What if the bracelet is removed?" asked one of the nobles curiously. He wasn't the only one as the other noblea wanted to also know the answer. "Very good question, Lord Solis. You see, immediately the device senses that the bracelet has been taken off, it will sound an alarm and reveal the bracelet's last location. It would also release an alarm when
"If that is the case then it is really bad. No wonder the Organisation is able to infiltrate our borders so easily," Arius voiced out loud. Stefan shook his head silently. "For what purpose? What does that Organization hope to achieve? Are they the lapdogs of the Empire to prevent us from becoming too powerful?" asked King Muriel. "Probably so, your majesty," answered Dean West."We have to intensify our efforts before it's too late," the king mused. "I suspect some of the nobles to be involved in these dealings, your majesty. Lord Kaiser had a smirk on his face when you mentioned that geniuses had disappeared which disappeared as quickly as it came," said Stefan thoughtfully."Mm, it seems he is one of those few nobles least affected by this. We've all lost people but the Kaisers don't often have such cases on their hands. Thanks for the tip Arius, take care of your grandson well though so that he also doesn't get kidnapped. His talent is the best I've ever seen and the Organisation
Memphis sat calmly in the back of the Lerain Carriage as Arudiz drove him through the bustling streets of the capital to the Daris Royal Academy. The academy was located near the palace, almost at the center of the capital. Many nobles like Memphis were journeying there to be protected and trained by the kingdom.Twelve year old Memphis looked 16 even though he was young. This was due to the training which he undertook daily. His brown hair was falling in lazy curls over his face and his green eyes glowed brightly. His skin was smooth and flawless like that of a baby and he was now becoming a real looker whom ladies were attracted to. Similar scenes played around Daris as many young nobles were being transported in heavily guarded carriages to the Academy. In a forest, the orange Lizardman crouched on a tree trunk, squinting his eyes to look at the road. His snake like eyes allowed him to see a long distance so he had a clear view of incoming carriages. In his hand he held a communi
Two days had passed since the arrival of the nobles into the academy. Soldiers had brought blue bracelets for them to wear and they were advised not to take them off. They were well fed and catered for as the academy had a large dinning area where they were fed good meals. Things were slowly taking shape but today they were all excited as an announcement had been made that the dean was going to meet them.All the nobles gathered in a huge hall where the meeting was to take place. Chatting excitedly, they took seats in the middle row in front as the hall was to large for them to space out. Memphis was surprised by the sheer beauty and marvellous architecture of the building. Even though the world of Balvan was a medieval world in most sense, the presence of magic changed much of it. Memphis was sure that given time, Balvan would even overtake the earth in terms of technology and development. When everyone had settled down, twelve people dressed in light blue Mage robes and silver armo
