top talent

upon returning home, Sora was grounded for 3 months. Sora was of course displeased with this. his mother was just overreacting. Due to being so bored, he ended up training with his father.

time quickly went by, and before Sora knew it he was 1- year old. Sora was signed up to head to a special academy where children went to learn magic, actually entered at the age of 5. but was home-schooled since he had a small problem, he was always walking off. how could his mother allow him to go off until he was sure he could take care of himself?

So, Sora ended up entering the academy at the age of 10, his elder brother Joey came to pick Sora up. Sora was considered to be friends with Joey, he even tried to help him out learn a different form of weapons, and sometimes tried to take him out when he wanted to explore.

the academy was located near the heart of the kingdom, Sora had seen it before when he went to visit his grandparents. it was a large building that had countless students within, Sora's eyes were wide seeing he was entering the academy.

"There is a different type of class, ranging from class A to L. class A to C is for warriors, they will be the powerhouse of the human race, they are those with a talent for battle," Joey said calmly as Sora sat down to listen

"class D to F is for those with the role to support, they range from heals, or those with enrichment magic. they will learn to fight, but the role they would usually play is that of support for class A, B and C. they are important within a party, as skill healer could save a whole party." Joey said calmly

"G to I are craftsmen. they learn all about crafting stuff from weapons, to armor, or to simple magical items. they will grow up and be the main source of magical items spread out through the kingdom, they also might come up with new ways which could better help us." He said calmly

"J to L is research, they come up with new magic, they study ways to create the magic of all kinds. humans are still new to magic and need to study and create magic, this range from coping with other races, or creating their own."

"Everyone is required to study pick 1 class, that class will be your main class. after which, you are required to learn a good amount from the other3 classes, this is important as you never know when this knowledge can come useful." He said calmly, Sora nodded in understanding as the carriage stopped. as the person driving stepped down to open the carriage, Sora was about to jump out but was caught by Joey

"Remember, you are a member of the Skievidra household, what you do reflex heavily on our name. you're a knight, learn to force when given a task. you are nobilities, do not go around acting childish" He said seriously, Sora frowned slightly that was going to be hard for him to pay attention to stuff but he nodded in understanding

as the carriage door was open and they both stepped out and entered the academy. they headed toward the place where Sora will take his trail to join classes A, B, or C. of course class A was the best and c the worst.

"you must be Sora, follow me." an old man with a long white beard said with a smile upon seeing Sora, putting the paper which held a paper from Sora's father down, he stopped up.

as soon as he stood up, Sora instantly had cold sweat appear on his forehead. this old man was stronger than him, and it was not by a small amount. Sora only needed a few things to read a person and measure their strength, this old man would crush him in a heartbeat.

Sora had seen his father and grandfather, although they were stronger than Sora. but Sora had chances to defeat them, meanwhile, this guy was on another playing field compared to them.

they soon arrived on an underground battlefield, Sora saw a group of puppets laying lifelessly all over the place.

"This is a training ground, you will face puppet with a set level of strength. if you lose, you will go to class C, if you are unable to defeat it but could damage could put up a good fight, you will go to class B. if you can defeat it and even more of such puppets, you will head to class A." The old man said as he held his hand out, Sora sensed the old man's energy entering each puppet, bringing them to life.

"they are set to the level of strength equal to your age, so 10 years. that in the academy means you should at least be a C rank warrior." He said calmly, that the ranking went from E to S rank. of course, there were stages to power, low, mid, and peak. the difference between each rank is said to be 10 times wide

E rank was just human level.

D rank is 10 times stronger than the E rank, those at this rank could do a thing like destroying a small building, destroying a huge mansion. not everyone has this level of destruction, some use speed or other forms of way to fight. but this destructive level of power was used for this ranking

C rank is also 10 times that D. for those with the power capable of destroying greatly affecting a whole city block and could have the capability of destroying a small town.

B rank is 10 times stronger than C. those with this power could cause huge damage to a city, and those at the peak could even destroy a small city.

A rank is 10 times stronger than a B rank. those at this rank are capable of destroying a large city or even destroying a mountains. Sora's father was at his rank,

S rank was the rank given to being like the dragons and gods. Sora didn't have much of this rank, but the strength range should be around Country to the planetary level. most like the gods had power capable of destroying the planet

Sora was physically as strong as a mid-C rank and even use more than 100%, along with using overclock to push his body to its limits, and lastly, with Efficient Combat, Sora's physical power can shoot all way up to A rank. with his high range of skills, abilities, Sora could defeat someone at peak A-rank

and no, using 100% of his physical capabiltiy didn't harm him. His body adapted to handle its full capabilities as Sora had been using it when he was alone. with his healing capability, this was not really much of a problem for him. in fact, this ability became normal, Sora had no limit on his body. allowing Sora to show great power at B rank at the age of 10.

But Enhanced Bodily Capacity, which allowed Sora to show more than 100% of his body max was of course troublesome for him. it was like Goku's dragon ball which can use a technique called Kaio-ken, which allowed him to increase power from 2 to 20 times but at the cost of putting a huge burden on the body. and if not careful he would explode

Sora could do something like 150% of his peak body capability, or 200%. Sora could go up to 10,000%, meaning Sora could push his body to show 100 times its max. but his body had to be able to handle all of that, or else he could explode or burn out and turn himself into ash. his max was times 5. he was just a growing boy, so he had to wait up and let his body grow.

Sora could also use overclock, unlike the Enhanced Bodily Capacity, over Clock kicks physiological function and coordination into overdrive. this meant Sora's body was pushed past simply its limits, its overdrive.

Sora's body will only start receiving damage after some time, overuse leads to excessive expenditure of natural bodily resources in order to keep heightened senses and physical capabilities, extended usage can overtax oxygen intake to the brain, and adrenal production can lead to heart failure.

Sora could currently use overclock along with Enhanced Bodily Capacity, to boost his strength up to 12 times. but if he remained in that state for more than 3 seconds, it meant death. but within that time, Sora could show off power at the A-rank.

Sora stepped onto the battlefield, Sora calmly looked at the puppets which surrounded him. the puppets step forward and attacked him, and Sora calmly stepped aside and flipped the puppet over. Sora was only using what he showed his father, over time when he was strong enough, he will start using his full capability.

The old man watching this smiled slightly, Sora's movements were quite amazing, showing just how skilled he was. But his smile disappeared, he felt like Sora was hiding his true capability.

with a thought, he had the puppets all attack Sora at once, Sora calmly put his hands at his waist and pulled out a sword.

"wind sword magic: raging wind," Sora said as he pulled out the sword, a green magic circle appeared in front of him, and a burst of wind suddenly spread out, and Sora cooly put his sword back. all of the puppets took a step forward before they fell down, their upper half and the lower half were cut cleanly off.

Joey who was watching this eyes widened, Sora combined his quick sword magic, along with wind magic the two magic shockingly worked together to increase the wind cutting power, Sora had cut down all of the puppets with a wind bade.

'he frowned for a split second the moment I had them all attack them. such sharp senses this kid has he also has a talent for magic, to understand what magic could be used together in this time of age for humans, thats shocking.,' He thought as his eyes turned a slight blue, his eyes instantly twitched as he saw Sora's magic energy. it was too much, this was B rank level.

'impossible, he has limiters within his body. all humans should have such a thing, without them, he shows more than 10 times others of the same level... no he had them but removed them, but how? how could he remove them and his body, not overuse itself?' He thought as his blue eyes turned back to normal as Sora calmly walked back

"you will be in class 2 A, here is your cool badge. if you need anything i'm always here to offer my support," he said with a smile. the classes are split into numbers, 1 to 3. with Sora's age and strength, he had to be in class 2-A

Sora nodded as he left with Joey who went on to show him to his class before he left.

'that guy is too powerful, I will stay away from him until i'm sure I could defeat him.' Sora thought as he opened his classroom door and saw there were more than 20 students there, each wearing a school uniform. the teacher was a young man in his mid-20s,

"Who are you? why are you walking around without a uniform?" He asked with a frown

"i'm Sora Skievidra, 5th young master of the Skievidra family. I just entered." Sora said calmly as he handed him his badge, the teacher was stunned as looked at the bandage, Sora was someone extremely important and he had to give him his full attention. there were others from extremely powerful households that he couldn't ignore, or else he could lose his job and all hopes to make a living.

"go find a place to seat at." He said calmly, Sora nodded as he looked around, there were many talents here a few of them caught Sora's eyes. but Sora saw there was a seat free by the window. walking up the steps, he sat there

"that seat is taken by the young miss of the Armstrong family." a few people said warning Sora, Sora shrugged as he thought of the Armstrong family. they were a powerful family no weaker than the Skievidra family. but word was going that they had some talent who mastered all magic placed before her. she was so talented in fact that she was both in classes A, D, G, and J.

She was the most talented person, and most humans were considering her as some light of hope for the human race. but she had a huge problem, she was a tomboy.

She acted more like a boy, she made every boy turn into a little girl before her. she was known as the queen of this place, not because she was beautiful but because no woman had the balls to stand up to her and talk that title away. In fact, they gave her this title as they didn't dare to call her anything less.

"Olivier Armstrong as a quick temper. she does not accept any form of disrespect." people warned but Sora ignored them as he looked outside, Sora began to daydream. not even a moment in and his mind had already begun to wonder

"Sora, you mind fixing this magic circle for the class?" the teacher asked with a frown, as the teacher he had to make sure everyone was paying attention, or else he could lose his job. he would call out Sora because he of his family background.

Sora sighed as he walked up and looked at the board, he instantly found what was wrong and corrected it. he could have even improved it if he wished. turning around, he went back to his seat and calmly returned to daydreaming. the teacher was stunned as he looked at the circle... Sora only looked at it once.

'only Olivier should be able to do this...' he thought in shock as he looked at Sora who was calmly looking outside the window. he went on to call Sora up a few times before he left Sora alone when he got every problem he threw at him correctly.

the class went by as normal, and soon a girl around 10 years old with scarlet hair entered the classroom. the woman calmly walked up to her seat, her eyes instantly narrowed seeing a punk sitting at her seat

"you seem knew around here, but that's my seat. so get your ass up before you lose it." She said as if she was some kind of gangster. Sora calmly looked at her, looking at the table, he looked all over for something, making the kid confuse

"strange, I can't find your name anyway or the person you talking to like that," Sora said calmly after opening the window to look outside, the classroom seemed to grow quiet with Sora's words. nobody dared speak back to Olivier.

"you got gust," She said coldly as she cracked her finger, Sora was stunned by her words,

"wow, you were correct. how did you tell?" Sora asked calmly, Olivier almost exploded with rage. flames exploded on her fist as she pushed toward Sora.

Sora jumped as he grabbed her arm, with a pull, she went flying out of the window. Sora calmly landed back in his seat and closed the window, and returned to daydreaming, while the whole class watched on in shock at what they have just seen.

meanwhile, Olivier landed on the ground, it was only a 2 story drop, nothing huge. but she lay there in shock and disbelief at what happened, she replayed everything that happened before her eyes brighten. Sora's movement replayed none stop her head, perfect timing, Sora even knew she would attack and opened the window and drew her into attacking.

'smart, strong, quick on his feet... he might be a good rival.' She thought as she jumped up and ran back into the building, soon she appeared before the door and looked at Sora who calmly looked over to look at her.

"I challenge you to a dual." She said as out loud, shocking everyone.

"no. go play with some duals or something," Sora said calmly, he didn't have time to play with some 10-year-old. they were just kids.

"you can't avoid dual if you start a conflict. you taking her seat and going out of your way to enrage her, before you throw her out of the window gives her the right to pull you into a dual. academy rules. " The teacher said calmly, Sora was speechless and annoyed

fine. let go so I can have this over and done iwth." Sora said annoyed, the two went to the battlefield with the whole class tagging around as they wanted to see this battle. the old man who was countless times stronger than Sora was also there, upon seeing Sora already got into a fight with someone he was speechless. but he accepted their match and was going to personally oversee their two dual.

"began whenever you're ready." He said calmly as he stepped back to allow the two to fight. Olivier closely looked at Sora, but she was shocked as she saw no opening, Sora was just standing there, but every time was planning on rushing forward, she could tell how Sora would react. she had shop battle instant for her young age,

the old man was also shocked by Sora, he too saw no opening. he smiled brightly as he looked at the two, two bright talents. the human was clearly in good hands.

Olivier was enraged seeing no opening, enraged a bow suddenly appeared in her hands. She pulled back, and at a shocking speed, she shot countless arrows at Sora.

Sora calmly stepped to the side and began dodging the arrows with the simplest movement. each move smoothly lead to the next move, and with no wasted energy everything was perfect.

"Is this all? don't waste my time, I got daydreaming to catch up on." Sora said calmly as the brown magic circle appeared under his foot. the ground shook as spikes shot toward her. but when they reached Olivier, the spell was nullified.

"what?" Sora said in surprise as he looked at her, Olivier's action was something he couldn't copy, the only thing Sora couldn't copy and learn were bloodline base abilities, or unique abilities, anything else Sora could perfect copies them all using Instant Learning.

Sora frowned as he forced on her, while still dodging the attacks he attacked her with the same spells, but they were all nullified.

'i see, any magic she sees she copied, and instantly mastered. she only nullifies them, so magic any magic, it's useless against her, only magic that needs stuff like items to be cast can't be copied. but if she cold said item, she could copy it and nullifies it... a bit overpowered. sucks I can't copy it.' Sora thought as grabbed his sword before he cut forward.

Olivier reached out as a sword appeared in her hands, but as the sword slash arrived near her, her eyes shrank as she realized this was not magic. She used extreme speed, magic which allowed her to move at extreme speed to dodge the attack

the battlefield where she shot was clearly cut, only stopping at the wall. Olivier's eyes widened, this was not magic but pure swordsmanship, something she couldn't copy

"two things are your weakness, one. you can't nullify item-type magic without holding the type of magic required for said item. and two, only magic. pure skills are your weakness." Sora said calmly as he looked at the stunned Olivier.

'he saw through her ability so fast? it should have been the countless attack he launched which allowed him to see she could nullify magic she see, when he attacked with his sword, her taking out the sword before suddenly running off could have been all he needed to know. a cleaver mind, spear, clam, and talented.' He thought as his eyes brightened slightly as he looked at Sora

"Haha, this is the first time I ever felt challenged. you're strong, but what will you do once I start going all out?" She asked as she disappeared, in a blink of an eye, she appeared behind Sora and threw a kick at Sora.

her eyes shrank as Sora jumped up while grabbing her leg, Sora flipped forward while using the force from her kick to flit her up before throwing her into the sky.

'what type of counter was that? amazing, she only had one leg for support, using the force that kicks along with that front flip, he could pick her up. shock quick-thinking.' the old man said with bright eyes as he eyed Sora, Sora frowned feeling this old man looking at him.

as Oliver fell down, she tried to lunch attacking Sora, but Sora flashed as he kicked the air with wind magic, She quickly attacked, but Sora cut through all of her spells before he stopped at her side with a sword at her neck.

the two slowly fall down to the ground, with Oliver too stunned to say anything.

"my sword cuts all," Sora said calmly as he placed the sword down and left the battlefield. Oliver looked at Sora retreating back, in shock.

"Congratulations, you don't know as you just joined. but Olivier declared if anyone would defeat her within the grade, she would go on a date with them." the old man said with a smile, Sora froze slightly as he looked at Olivier who blushed slightly seeing him looking at her.

"i'm good," Sora said calmly as he left, leaving the old man's stuff. Olivier's eyes widened as she was left there rejected.

Olivier was considered a freak by many due to her abilities. She mastered every spell she came across, she was talented from a young age and did everything almost perfectly. she didn't even have friends, her own mother passed away, and her father only wanted to use her for power.

She became tough so others would stop building her, and instead of talking behind her back, everyone did start to grow respectful of her, not daring to enrage her.

she declared anyone who could defeat her within the same grade could become her date when she was being asked out by a few kids. this shut them up good, but she was defeated by Sora today, yet even a bigger freak like him had no interest in even talking to her.

She lowered her head slightly as she walked off, and the old man sighed. he thought the two most talented kids would make good coups, yet his act of trying to help only broke a little girl's heart.

Sora calmly sat in his seat as he looked outside, but his attention was quickly caught by Olivier who was walking home. Sora's eyes her sharp, he could tell by her body language she was crying. frowning slightly, Sora realized he was dealing with kids.

the moment he saw Olivier he could tell her little tomboy act was simply armored to hide the true her. She was just a lonely little girl, his action didn't really help. Seating up, he went left the classroom just as the other students were heading in.

He quickly ran up to Olivier who was walking down the street, Olivier had calmed herself down, she frowned slightly to see Sora.

"I was a bit rude, if you don't mind I will be your friend," Sora said calmly, Olivier was stunned slightly. Sora seeing her just standing there holding his hand out

"let's start over, I'm Sora," Sora said calmly, Olivier shakingly opened her mouth to speak slightly, but she seemed to have forgotten how to speak

"Y-you really want to be my friend?" She asked softly, Sora smiled slightly.

"you're like me. but you hold yourself back, it seems people don't know you can copy abilities." Sora said with a smile, Olivier's eyes shrank to the size of needles as she looked at Sora. She kept his a secret even from her own father after seeing his true colors,

"I too can copy them, well I can't copy them like you. I nullify an opponent's Magic after encountering them, mine range past magic to even skills. where are the same, but different." Sora said with a mile, Olivier was stunned as she looked at Sora

"so, let's start over. my name is Sora Skievidra. 5th young master of the Skievidra household, sorry for being so rude earlier." Sora said as he gave her a slight bow. Olivier almost cried, but she quickly introduced herself

"I'm Olivier Armstrong, the 7th young miss of the Armstrong household..." She said as she sniff slightly,

"you don't have to cry," Sora said softly,

"i'm just so happy, you're my first friend... and we are so similar." She said as she sniffed none stop, Sora smiled slightly as they headed back towards the academy, but Sora froze as he saw his mother and father standing outside the gate

"you're overreacting, he will not skip school." Sora's father said softly, as he turned to look towards where Sora was at. he froze as he looked at Sora who was panicking slightly. but seeing the girl next to Sora, he nodded slightly and hinted towards Sora to run off while he made Sora he wasn't caught. Sora secretly thanked his father, before he ran off with Olivier who was confused on why they were running
