In the beginning, there was nothing. Then, there was a creator that created a great tree. From that tree, the universe was created. But, in the universe was the weak and pathetic humans. 

They were given only the ability to think, so the gods had pity on them. A god had given them mana. Another gave them ways to fight back with that mana. The greatest gift was given to only a single human. It was a seed from the tree that created life. And with the power of the seed, the manifestation of mankind's desires began to take hold.

That was how the first ever champion of mankind, a "Sprouted" was born.

Our story takes place in modern magical times, where everybody has something called a "Seed". At the age of 16, every child must go to awaken their seed, the event of a lifetime. Nobles protect the civilians from danger of demons and beasts under the law of the first king- "Noblesse Oblige", but it's the dream of our main character to become a sort of a hero!

Our main character, Nova and his friend Rai- ends up "Sprouting", a phenomenon that occurs when their seed is fully saturated with mana, right on the spot of the examination.  With Seeds that qualify themselves to attend the same school as the nobles, they're forced to take place in "Noblesse Oblige" as well! From then on, it's up to them to see where their Seeds will take them.

Seed Of The Stars

Nova felt as if his body had just been jump-started, suddenly taking in a deep breath and entering a coughing fit.


He coughed a few times before he opened his eyes, revealing the bright empty sky above him.


He quickly rolled over and forced himself to his knees, remembering his prior situation.


Once he had done so, he had found Nezha staring at him, completely frozen.


『...You… You're a monster…!』[Nezha]


「I'm lucky to have woke up…! If I hadn't, he would have had his way with me!」[Nova]


The mana in the air still felt dense, and the heat that surrounded Nova when he fell unconscious was still smoldering.


「...My new ability… is…?」[Nova]


He forced himself to his feet, still worn out.


「What is… my new ability?!」[Nova]


Before he knew it, Nezha was already running straight at him.


『To think that a student would be able to hold their own against me for so long!』[Nezha]


Nova quickly formed a blade and began to run away, in an attempt to not be a sitting duck.


「I can't let him catch up to me!」[Nova]


As he ran, Nezha's heat wore off slowly.


「The cooler it gets, the better my movements are getting! I just have to wear him down until I can find a way for me to burn all of this mana away and use my Area!」[Nova]


Nova quickly turned back and aimed his finger at Nezha.


「But… I'm already worn down, myself... I have to use… everything I have against him.」[Nova]


A streaking trail of white mana shot at Nezha, but was easily dodged by Nezha, who was empty-handed.


『These games are beginning to bore me, ki-』[Nezha]


Nova had already used this opportunity to close the gap between them, and had formed his hand into a flat spear.


He jammed the hand into Nezha's stomach, resulting in a white shockwave that shattered Nezha's mana shield, and a white trail exiting the other side of Nezha's body.


Nezha went wide eyed before he suddenly vomited out a small amount of blood.


Not letting go of the situation, Nova quickly changed his hand into a finger gun and focused as much mana as he could into it.


The resulting attack was a blast that sent Nezha barreling backwards tens of feet.


After a few seconds, he crashed into the floor, creating an entire storm of dust.


『Bl...Blessed… Flame… Rebirth..!』[Nova]


He formed a flame that surrounded him and drank away at the mana nearby.


「That attack took… nearly all of my mana...」[Nova]


He restored his mana reserves with his flame by absorbing the dense mana in the air, while analyzing the clouds of dust.


「I think… he might be out for a bit…!」[Nova]


He looked around, considering the thought of running away or staying.


「He might be… not able to fight anymore. If I could take him back with me, the kingdom would be a lot safer...」[Nova]


As he sank into deep thought, a rapid-fire swarm of tiny fireballs emerged from out of the dust and began homing in on Nova.


They quickly closed in on Nova, causing him to freeze up.


As they were about to hit him, only a singular thing came to his mind.
