The Favoured Son of Heaven Daris Royal Academy
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
The Favoured Son of Heaven The Student Council
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
The Favoured Son of Heaven Selection and Nomination
"Did I just hear correctly?""Student council? I've never heard of that before but it sounds cool!""Isn't this the same as making those kids in bigger noble families kings over all of us already?""Relax small brain, didn't you hear the dean? We can challenge them for their position anytime,""Well this was a change I wasn't expecting," Memphis smiled wryly after the dean mentioned the student Council.Up on the seat of honour, Celine scoffed and shook her head. "Pathetic. Over privileged brats being given absolute power over their mates in the school to pacify the egos of their parents when we are doing our best to protect them," she sneered. General Hargrave merely grunted in response but Eric replied, "Don't be so sore, Celine. Remember you'll be the one with them on a daily basis while us men are busy preventing their asses from being kidnapped by the Blood Moon. So at least try and be nice," he smirked.Celine just shook her head again in annoyance and replied, "Let's hope those
The Favoured Son of Heaven Shocking all those present!
Dean West made some signs with his hand and suddenly, the hall expanded leaving a lot of empty space in between the stage and the audience. A mini platform was formed on the open space with a blue barrier around it. Even though the distance was far, they could see clearly."The duels will be held here. These are the rules for the Vice Head duel. There will be no usage of pills and elixirs, no usage of magic equipment like weapons and defensive artifacts, then the winner is the person who forces the opponent to concede defeat, has more mana when that of the opponent is finished or knocks the opponent off the platform. Catherine and Amy, please mount the platform so we can begin," said Dean West."Well at least the duels are fair. They're not being allowed to use weapons and boosting elixirs,""Yeah, this is a battle of pure strength. I hope they don't force us challengers to fight them like that,""With or without magic equipment I will take one of those positions,""With that bronze A
The Favoured Son of Heaven Meeting Dean West
After the hall had been restored and Eric and Celine took their seats, Dean West continued with his delivery. "Congratulations to the newly elected student representatives. To you other nobles gathered here, you should try as much as you can to also join the main executives. This is because they will be given the best resources, especially those in the top three positions. Now due to other factors, apart from the bracelet given you, you will also be given school robes which pretty much will defend you against other attacks just like the bracelets. As you are nobles, you will recieve higher quality robes which will be green and rimmed with silver. Those in the Council though will recieve green robes rimmed with gold which is of far higher quality while the normal people and commoners will wear plain green robes. They will be brought to you tomorrow. After this, all the new executives will meet me in my office for a small discussion. The rest of you are dismissed. Remember, focus on yo
The Favoured Son of Heaven The Commoners arrive
With the new position and duties hoisted on him, Memphis knew that life in the academy was going to be very tiring. Miss Celine had already briefed him on what he was to do for the meantime as the student head and he couldn't help but have a headache when thinking about it.Memphis bit the juicy spirit fruit in his hand and sat in contemplation of the future. Things seemed to be going smoothly, a bit too smoothly. Perhaps it was due to Goddess Daphne's help but Memphis knew in his time back on earth that when things got too quiet like this, then big trouble was on the way. It kind off reminded of the day his brother died. The heat had cooled down and when everything seemed that it was going to be alright then BAM! Memphis was left without a brother due to some rich bloke who was obviously too drunk to drive straight. It was left with just two days before the commoners arrived into the academy. Most of them would have awakened just a few years ago, probably a year or two because of fi
The Favoured Son of Heaven Entrance Test 1
All around the kingdom, various commoners flocked to the capital to take part in the Daris Royal Academy's entrance test. For the first time ever, the academy had decided to hold a mass Entrance exam to let even commoners inside the academy. This was a chance none were willing to pass up and even three years was worth the wait. Fathers and mothers led their children into the capital and the gates of the academy were awash with a multitude of people.Inside the academy, Nobles watched the commoners gathered outside with varied expressions, mostly varying from disdain to curiosity. Memphis and the other council members though didn't have the luxury to observe the multitude outside though as they were busy helping the teachers in making final adjustments. They would have a close up look of the commoners though as they would be there watching their tests.Mariah stood in the midst of the throng with her father. Her father clutched her hand tightly with a grinning face. He was confident th

"Next!" Phinehas called when the first batch was done. The second batch moved over to take the place of the first and the test continued. It was apparent that the participants knew some spells but most of them were casting it sloppily and making a lot of mistakes.It soon got to batch number 13 and Mariah walked unto the field and up to dummy number 54. A young girl her age with blonde hair stood by the dummy. She stood the silently, waiting for instructions. "Like the man said, you're going to cast a spell. Take five steps back and ready your spell. Don't save mana," said Catherine.Mariah nodded and did as ordered. Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she closed her eyes and channelled her mana. "Spatial blades," she called.Four blades of silver energy formed in front of her. Like s hot knife cutting through butter they homed in rapidly on the dummy and hit it, leaving white marks on the dummy's tough body. "Space element?" Catherine was a surprised. Space mages were few and fa

The tournament (4)
"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

Freeing the captives (2)
"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.
