chapter two

Its been a week Davis was discharged from the medic, only that things got worsted, the bullying took a some step higher that there was no day in this past week that Davis won't take bruises to bed, still that didn't waver his determination, it only further fuel it. Just two days ago pills for cultivating one spirit root was shared, his was forcefully taken away from him by David to replace his confiscated one.

Davis has been stuck in rank 3 peak stage apprentice magician for a year now, he had try everything he could but could not make the push to step into rank 4, every single time he got he try to make the push but still no result, he had spent his monthly allowance Also on extra pills to make the breakthrough but to no avail.

Today he decide to use all his saving cultivation Manuel from the black market since the school won't give that rank if you had not step into it. Magic cultivation Manuel are method drive to put pressure on one spirit root to increase its sensitive, intake, flow and realease of mana. Using a Manuel of higher grade to pressure one spirit root is a dangerous move which could damage ones spirit root or destroy it, worst case scenery death. that's why the academy will not give a Manuel to anyone if they have not gotten to than rank. But Davis been that he had try everything in his arsenal and still failed he is ready to take the risk, after to all there is not success without risks.

"Bro are you sure this is worth the risk, it not like I want to dissuade you from your decisions but its too risky and you might end dead if this goes too badly, are you this anxious for power, with you talent you could make it to grade one magician in your life time, it still a fair stand, you can take care of your family and still lead a peaceful life at one corner of the world away from all this why take the risk. Think about your sister, think about me"

"Joe I know your fear but I have no choice, I can't be stuck with mediocrity and be content when I can still strive for something more, just say no more, are you helping me with the spirit stone or not?"

Joe speechless as he may be still gave the spirit stone, it pained his heart that this might spelt the beginning of nightmare for him. Davis didn't give heed to his pleading eyes, took the spirit stone and zoom off.

Somewhere around a boozing street not that far from the magic academy, with many stalls and store lined up all over, a kid about the age of 13-14 strolls through while observing to see where he could get what he came for. This kid of cause is Davis, transmigrated here in alpha he became 13-14 of age from his 27 year of age on earth. Appreciating this chance to start over was also part of what drive is determination. Taking a turn to approach another part of the street that might have what he want to buy he was met with an age haggard man with torn and ragged clothes begging for aims. This prick him a little, it pretty obvious this age man haven't had anything to eat for a while by his appearance. What could he do, he won't be kind enough to give up his hope of breakthrough to some random person. Putting that to the back of his mind he decided to move on but just then the begged grab the feet a passing noble, begging him to spare him if it just one spirit stone so he could get something to eat. This action anger the passing noble who didn't hesitate to serve him some punishment stone instead. Conjuring a fire wipe he lash it on the old man, leaving the old man with pain and burnt marks, venting his anger of been held by some commoner he left the beggar in a terrible state.

"In your next miserable life don't you ever lost for swan flesh when you are just a toad under the well" the noble spoke before leaving.

Davis stand at the side was furious, can't this people grow up, we are all human for heaven sake, he just needed something to eat, if you are not going to hive why don't just walk pass, do you have to be this heartless? He thought within himself walking up to the beggar.

"I don't have much on me but the little I have will be enough for today, where do you leave? Let me help you down, get some ornament and pills on the way to treat your wounds, you are in a terrible shape"

Hearing Davis voice the beggar look up to him seeing he was a kid and a student at that cause he could see the academy on him.

"You are not from those high up family are you?"

Davis is a little taking aback by his question, not expecting a question instead of an answer. Either way he still gave an answer

"No am not, am from a low grade family, why do you ask? I don't remember asking you any question related to that, i only ask where you leave so I can help you there"

"You are different, all high up families and nobles despise us commoners, you walking up to me state the fact"

"Am not one of those, if I were i still won't act like them, we are all humans, what is been noble and high up family meant when you can't use that power to help those below you. Those are just status of separation and not power in my eyes"

"You truly are different, thanks for the help, I will be relying on you then, my hut is just by the hill, quite a distance from here, are you sure you want to make that journey?"

"I already made up my mind, it would be rude of me to back out now and a blow to my person if I can't follow through with my decisions"

Helping the old man up he lean his weight on his should helping him walk as they head for the his hut at the hillside.

Four hours later the arrived at his hut, helping the man to sit, taking off his ragged robe he clean his injury and apply the ornaments he bought on his way here, when he was done he gave he the pills he bought also.

When he was done with everything, he handed him the little food the left over spirit stone could get them.

"I will be heading back now, I can't stay out of the academy, its against the rules, I can't stay to help you more but I will visit you again once I get out again. Take Carr of yourself for now."

"Thank you young one, can I ask why you came out in the first place?"

"I came out to get a rank 4 cultivation Manuel"

"But you are just rank 3, why rank 4?"

Sighing in regret Davis narrated his ordeal to him, how he is been stuck, the bullying and all, he felt relieve sharing his pain with some at that moment, so he poured out his heart, the old man just listen kinly.

"That is indeed a story, I which I could help you out, you've used up your chance of getting a breakthrough even if its risky it worth the try but now it gone into air just by helping me, why give it up?"

"I didn't give up, I only sacrificed to save one in need, I won't forgive myself if I just pass you by, I can always save up again, it will only take time"

"Brave and good heart, that sure is the heart of a leader, hmmmm, I don't have much I just have this family heirloom with me, but as you can see I have no one as to give it to and I might soon leave this world, I have seen anyone worthy enough to bestow it to, can I bother you to accept it?"

"But its your family heirloom like you said I can't take it, I didn't help you for a reward I did it from my heart, so you don't have to reward me"

"I did say I was rewarding you, I am doing it from my heart just like you, its rude to reject a gift from someone or is it because am a commoner, my gift didn't appeal to you?"

Been helpless he could only agree, the old man brought out a ball like object with intricate pattern drawn all over it.

"This is my family heirloom, I want you to bind to it with blood when you get back, it nothing special but its dear to me so please do take care of it for me"

"I will Senior, let me run off for now, I will check on you again"

Davis speed off heading back to town, so he could make it back before dark.

When he gone out of the old man sight, the seemly old haggard man disappeared mumbling only a few words.

"THE FUTURE HOLD SUPRISE FOR YOU YOUNG ONE, LIVE ON"
