awake

[ahg my head... what happened]

[you let rage take over]

when I heard someone next to me I immediately turn to look, seeing who it was I sighed and asked

[did I win?]

[no you passed out after putting in everything you had on one attack, altho the attack made me block and get injured it was not enough to make me lose]

it was obviously the old man I had a fight with.

[darn, well I did say I respect the strong, so you have earned my respect sir, now let me ask something, are you an adventure]

[was an adventure, now let me ask you something, who did you learn from, cause that fireball was an extremely powerful yet dangerous rank 2 spell]

[I taught my self, also what the hell is a rank 2 spell ?]

the old man opened his eyes wide and his mouth becomes agape when I said I taught my self, after calming down he mumbled to himself.

[looks like I found a genius]

as I looked around the place I could tell it was meant for healing or for the wounded because of the multiple beds.

[where am I?]

[the healing ward of the Colosseum, after passing out your entire body was exhausted and needed rest, yet you wake up in only 2 hours, either that is some impressive vitality you have or you just got a lot of mana, but that would not make sense as you passed out after using just one rank 2 spell, so mind telling me how that occurred]

I scrutinized him up for a bit before saying.

[my fire mana is constantly flowing thru my body and as it is, it collects the nearby fire mana and stores it in me]

[WHAT!?!?]

he yelled as he stood from the chair he was sitting on and stared at me in the eyes.

[KID DON'T LIE TO ME]

[why are you freaking out can't anyone do it after some practice]

the old man just looked at me flabbergasted before saying.

[yes anyone can do it after some practice, BUT ONLY RANK 5 MAGES, YET YOU ARE NOT EVEN A RANK ONE MAGE BUT YOU CAN STILL DO IT, JUST HOW ATTUNED ARE YOU TO THE FIRE MANA, COME WITH ME I AM GOING TO TEST YOUR MAGIC POTENTIAL]

after that, he dragged me out of the colosseum took a carriage inside the town, and brought me to a place like a church, It was all white with a statue that looked like a goddess made of pure white marble in front of the stairs, I did not have enough time to look at more of the details as the old man dragged me inside as soon as we got there, after getting inside the old man talked with some people that looked to be priests, after some talking we were taken to a room with nothing but a ball in the middle, soon after the priest left the old man told me to place my hand on top of the ball, which to be honest I expected, after getting my hand on top of the ball it started to glow red immediately and kept getting brighter and brighter until

[BOOM]

it exploded, which almost killed me as I was blown back and hit a wall hard before passing out for the second time.

-old man POV-

as I looked at the child passed out on the wall I could not help but shiver thinking what would happen if any of the royal families found out about him, with his potential wars would probably break out as he could become a stage 9 mage maybe even the legendary stage 10, no I have to keep him a secret until he could defend himself properly I can't send him to a magic academy as that would mean they would have to test his potential, hmmm what should I do, I got it adventuring, I can teach him

martial arts and buy him some books about magic, after teaching him the basics I will have him wonder the world for more experience yes that will do, I can't let what happened to my grandson happen to him if can at least make sure he survives this cruel world that would at least make me rest in peace.
