Chapter 55: Disciple.

Haruto bawled his fist slightly as he stared at the crying boy on the sandy ground.

'Do I take him in as a student? I..could provide for him and it may be beneficial to have another Dark magic user backing me up. But hes so weak. But that's what he wants me to fix. What...should I do?'

Haruto held his head. 'Wait...' A thought came to his mind. 'Yeah, I'll take him in as a student. He can be my guinea pig for experiments..'

A devious smile came onto his face.

'But first..'

"Kid. I'll let you be my student.."

The kid in question slowly looked up.

"Really~..."

He whipped his face with Haruto nodding in the process.

"But first, you'll have to prove yourself.."

"Prove...myself?."

He got up, stammering a bit in the process.

"Yes. I'll tell you more about it later okay? For now, let's celebrate."

His expression lit back up upon hearing Harutos words.

"Y-Yes!"

....

In Jura's castle, there were a group of 400 or so people in one room. The room was decorated with signs and colors. Music and painting were playing and shown all around too.

"This is amazing!"

Yukio was running all around, stopping at tables with food, and eating it all. Some people smiled at the scene while others frowned at it.

"Hello."

Haruto heard a quiet voice to his side. He then looked over and saw Jura being escorted by Haru.

"Hello."

Haruto turned back and reached for a slice of cake.

"How...do you feel?"

Haruto took a fork and dug into the cake.

"I feel...honored?"

He ate the cake and his face immediately scrunched from the sweetness.

"Yeah. You are the first person...in history to ever rule the Forbidden."

Haruto pondered then agreed. 'I guess..I am huh?' The Forbidden continent was a waste land for anyone, so no one ever tried ruling over it before. There was really no point in it.

"Sensei! Try this!"

Haruto looked down and saw Yukio. He had two balls of jello in his hands. 'Where..did he get that from?' He bent down towards the boy and took the ball from his right hand.

"Watch this."

The ball then started floating around above Haruto's hand.

"Woah..."

Yukio had an amazed expression on his face. 'Its..cute seeing this kind of expression..' No one was really impressed by Harutos power like this. Larius only becomes happy that he growing stronger while others just find it natural for a dark mage to have a freaky power like telekinesis.

"You may be able to learn this someday.."

"Eh? Really?"

Haruto nodded. 'After I teach him how to be a soul reaper then yeah.'

"In a few minutes, you will give a speech to the whole room."

Haru spoke out.

"W-What? A speech? Do I have too?"

Haruto wasn't good with speaking in front of so many people like this. All the eyes on him will probably make him throw up.

"Yep. Your the new leader of this continent. This much is nothing."

"Nothing much, my ass.."

Haruto said in his head and looked back at the small child. He was licking his lips as he stared at the green, floating ball. 'I wonder how longs it's been since he last ate this good..'

He floated the ball over to his mouth and he ate it. 'Another little brother. My family sure is getting bigger..'

After about 20 minutes or so of Haruto meeting and greeting people, it was time for him to go up on stage. He didn't want to, so Jura had to force him up.

(It doesn't even have to be that long of a speech. Just say your name and what you think.)

(What I think? Yeah okay.)

Haruto stood up on the stage. This caused everyone to stare at him, making him even more nervous. 'Damn. I haven't done something like this in over 12 years.'

The lights dimmed down and another pair of lights focused in Haruto. 'Damn Yukio. Look somewhere else. That smile makes me uncomfortable.'

Haruto coughed a bit and tapped the magic item that was supported in a stand. It was shaped like a rectangle with 9 dots going across and down. The dots weren't that deep. Each dot was 5 centimeters across in size.

'Great. I'm doing it again..'

When I get...worked up, I start describing things in detail. Like with that fan from earth, I was frustrated the night before, so when I woke up and saw the remote, I started describing it thoroughly.

"My name is Haruto. I'm...the ruler of the Forbidden continent now."

Silence enveloped the room as he got done talking.

"I'm 12 years of age and have been given the power of unique magic and normal magic."

That surprised people.

"I have weapon creation magic.."

A sword appeared in Harutos right hand.

"And I have Dark magic.."

A purple ball appeared in in his left.

"A blessing and a curse is what the church said when I registered my magic."

The people in the crowd started murmuring to each to each other. Haruto could only scratch his neck as he stared at the people gossiping around him.

"I plan on making this a free continent if you didn't know that. That..is my main goal."

I coughed slighly and left the stage.

"That's it?"

"Well, he got his point across so I guess its fine."

"He shared with us an important secret of his though. You don't see that everyday."

"Yeah...especially something like having an unique magic and an normal attribute magic."

Haruto sat down on chair that was near a wall. 'Whew that was a lot of pressure..' He looked down and pulled his sleeve up. '3:21 huh?' He pulled his sleeve back up and sighed.

The watch on his wrist was bough from his item shop. It tells real time which fascinated Haruto. He tried taking it apart one time, but he couldn't get the screws off.

"Sensei!"

Yukio sat down in the chair next to Haruto.

"Your so special! You have unique and dark magic?! That's so cool!"

Haruto slighly smiled at his words. 'I remember when I went to the church and a kid reacted the same way...' Haruto, Aiko, and his mother went to the human continent when they were very young to see what element of magic they have.

While he was there, he met a kid. He was a little taller then Haruto. Haruto doesn't remember what he looked like exactly, but he does remember his reaction when the kid heard that he had 2 types of magic.

'Wonder where hes at now..'

"Haruto...you said you wanted to change the name of the Forbidden continent right?"

Haruto looked up and saw Jura.

"Yeah, why?"

"Because...you can change it now if you want."

"R-Really? How..would I even change it?"

"With this.."

Jura pulled out a small piece of paper. It was dirty brown in color like a wanted poster from back in the day.

"This..is the document to own the Forbidden continent. All you would have to do is put your blood on here and its yours.."

'Eh? That's it? And why does Jura have it?' thought Haruto. 'I wonder if Sylvia has something like this since her continent is a dungeon...'

Jura then handed the paper to him. People started to gather around when he did.

"Okay."

He stared at the blank sheet of paper. 'So..the Forbidden continent is just a title the people came up with then? There was never a person who named it?'

Haruto was told that he was the first to ever name it, but he didn't believe that. Since it's called the Forbidden continent, he though that someone named it that, but it wasn't recorded using this document. Seeing the paper in front of him though, there was a white space with nothing written there.

'Unless I'm just jumping to conclusions..'

"Ladies and Gentlemen. The new Ruler of..."

Haruto pricked his finger and blood slowly came down. There were scornful looks on some faces as the saw blood dropped on the paper.

SWOOSH!

In the next moment, All Haruto could see was white.

'Where am I?..'

He looked over and noticed that he seemed to be in a falling position. The white then cleared up and he saw red, with green above above the red. To the right of the red, he saw more green and to the left, he saw a fog like substance.

'I..cant talk or move....'

He tried opening his mouth but it wouldn't work. Moving his body also had no effect.

'But..that is the Forbidden continent right? And that's the elven continent. The demon and human too...'

Haruto saw a full view of the small world he knew of. He also saw some water in the back of the elven continent with volcanos and such behind the demons. There were more places too, but he was to far away to see them.

'So many unexplored places..'

Just then, a huge pair of brackets sat themselves on the red sand. It went from the elf continent's border, over prosperity, and to the demon continent's border.

[Press to select a name.]

That is what it said across. 'Amazing...' The whole experience was new so it amazed Haruto. Just then, Haruto felt a slight jolt in his arm. He moved his eyes over and saw his fingers twitching.

'I guess...I can press it now?'

Haruto tried moving his whole arm and noticed that he was able to now. He then reached down and grabbed at the huge words.

[Please enter a name.]

A small keyboard then appeared in Harutos mind. 'Interesting..'

He then moved his eyes to the letter 'a' and a Huge one appeared between the brackets. Haruto pressed the backspace key and it deleted.

'I see..'

Haruto then proceeded to enter a name. 'I hope everyone likes it..'

[Would you like to enter this as your name?]

The enter key started glowing.

'Yes. Yes..I would...'

Haruto smiled and pressed enter.

[Name established.]

He then felt something tug on my arm, causing him to look over. Haruto saw Larius, or Yukio starring at him.

"Well?"

Jura asked, bring everyone closer in the process.

"What is the name of our continent?"

Hearing this, my lips curled. 'A new beginning..'

The document in his lap disappeared and he stood up.

"The..."
