~~~~~~~

I was always told my successors were great men. They had fought bravely into the battlefields and died a pure soul. I wanted to be like them.

The exam continued, we fought tiredlessly, until we encountered another person. He was Black haired, a white cape and he looked like a soldier. He drew out his blade. In confusion, I drew mine as well. His blade looked crooked. It had stamps of different jewels, crystals and diamonds on the handle, it also had a sharp hook which would seem to deal quite the damage. I decided to head on one on one with him. I guess he wasn't pleased. The man started to drop his blade, I almost went to a halt when he threw a punch. I fell down as I was struck with that abnormal force.

"You people..disgust us..", as he spits on the ground. The man walked away. Our facillitators saw what was happening with a worried face. I was carried into the vehicle back to the dorm. Yanagi, Takaii and Aden looked worried at me. " D-don't worry guys..it's just a small bruise.." I said. I was lying of course, his force really made me halt, and I was paralyzed for a moment. Our facillitator decided to send us to our dorms early. It was just 3 PM. Takaii helped me to walk to my dorm.

"You okay buddy?" "Yeah..im fine..". I opened the door to my dorm and laid down. The usual look of the room from 5 years ago felt nostalgic, as my body ached. The chirping birds calm the sunset, as the sunlight in my dorm starts to fade. I decided to open my locker. In it was a book. It had some..unidentified title.. titled simply

"η ανθρωπότητα, το βιβλίο των ανδρών που κρατούν τον αστή."

Not sure what it meant but it kept me thinking awhile. In that book were tales. Tales of the Aestus blade successors. It is said the Aestus blade was once a religion, where people would build shrines and temples to worship it, claiming it was a gift from god. No one hardly appreciates it these days. The book was old, the papers felt as if they would tare if I were to even mishandle it. The clock showed 8 PM. I was lazy to attend dinner service anyways, I had stored up enough food in the dorm incase I was lazy. I decided to take a quick shower, and sleep to await tomorrows tests results. I kept thinking about the figure. Why did he drop his blade?

The Aestus blade is something i've been holding on to. I wasn't sure how I discovered it. My morher said when I was 7, I complained to her abiut seeing strange objects fly, she then assumed I was ready to uphold my successors, the Magus. I couldn't believe I came from a Magi bloodline. I felt like telling the whole class, but that would be a terrible idea.

To this day, some Vorhes and Aura users still hunt my bloodline down, in an attempt to ensure their dreams of resotring balance would work. However, my bloodline, the Magus believes only one shall shine, which is the Magus and Esper users. I sometimes agree and disagree for what statement my bloodline upholds. All I have to do now is obey, and follow orders to uphold the bloodline.
