The Favoured Son of Heaven Acquiring Practical experience
Memphis had diligently focused on the training of his body and mind so much so that he was confident of fighting a low level Advanced Mage. The book his grandfather gave him as a gift had helped him out so much and he had mastered the breathing Technique in the book, also perfecting his stances and seamlessly combining his magic with his body. Now Memphis thought it was high time he gained practical experience. Even though his family had doted on him, getting him the required resources for his training and getting him the best teachers in the kingdom, Memphis knew that he had to acquire practical experience not just training. After all, he knew that many nobles in those webnovels, even though powerful lacked practical experience and as such, they froze up in the face of danger. No training dummy could compare to the challenge of facing a sentient beast to fight with. Memphis wanted to hone his skills on the beasts so that by the time it was time for him to go to the Magic academy, he
The Favoured Son of Heaven Hunting in the woods 1
Meanwhile Memphis and Arudiz entered the forest and Arudiz spoke. "I won't interfere with your little adventure and I will suppress my aura so beasts won't run away and you can hunt to your heart's content. Remember this though; be alert and watchful, most beasts are very cunning. I won't interfere until it reaches a critical point where you can't fight back. Until then," Arudiz left him hanging and vanished.Memphis was happy about this. At least he could go all out without worrying about the consequences. Nevertheless, he wasn't that foolish to waste his mana unnecessarily as that would cost him in real battle. The forest at the outskirts of the capital was called the Mavelis Forest. It was home to many beasts and spanned over a wide area, extending to as far as the borders of the neighbouring kingdom. Due to its size, the kingdom regularly sent a team of Mages to thin down the number of the beasts to prevent a Beast Horde.In Balvan, Beast hordes were one of the worst disasters to

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
The Favoured Son of Heaven Killing a Warrior level Shadow Panther!
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.
The Favoured Son of Heaven The meeting
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
The Favoured Son of Heaven Changes
"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
The Favoured Son of Heaven Three years ended!
"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

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.
