A New Meeting

Aku woke up in an unfamiliar ceiling, he didn't have any white ceiling in his house. He wanted to continue sleeping because his magic did not fully recover but when he turned his body he got contact with a person's eyes.

That person also looking at him and shocked, she even drops what she currently doing and stares at him instead. It become awkward because none of the two talks but instead both of them left out a breath of relief.

The person sitting while waiting at his bedside is Chloe. That makes him feel relieved to see that she is alright after becoming a User. The Phenomenon she has just experienced will make her stronger as a User.

The internet said the harder a person and more magic inside his or her body before becoming a User makes the future of that person brighter than everyone else. This only applied to Secondborn Users, for Firstborn User they need to work hard every day to become strong. But at the same power value, Firstborn Users usually beat Secondborn Users easily.

But nowadays because of the rarity of Firstborn User, Secondborn Users are all over the world. They don't need to compete with each other anymore. And even more, there are also different races other than humans, that make the difference between today's world compared to 100 years ago.

Getting up from the bed, Aku feels sudden dizziness in his head. Chloe with a fast reflex helps him get up slowly. He didn't know what time is it right now and can they get to the class in time but he doesn't think about that for now.

He wanted to have a conversation and joke with Chloe, He feels happy when he does it and she accepts the jokes, and sometimes she even jokes at him back with her little jokes.

They have a conversation just like usual. Neither of them asked about the accident even though they were interested in the matter. But they know, if either one of them asked about it that will make the atmosphere awkward.

They didn't want that so they strike a conversation of nonsense about everyday life. Things like food, drinks, places they like or wanted to go, and story that others or family didn't want to hear from them.

Aku living with his grandparents, he has many things he hides from them. Such as personal stuff like hobbies and food. His grandmother usually cooks for him but only that isn't enough for his young and growing body.

Because there are things he hides then he tends to make it a secret to his grandparents but right now Aku is talking about that to Chloe to make her joy, happiness, and didn't think about the accident that happened just now.

His magic core is recovered, but not full. That is enough to make a smile showing on the face of Chloe. Aku tries his best to make it happen, and because of his honesty and great patience, Chloe makes a smile on her face.

The School is over for today, when they get out of the School gate a nice car is parked in front of them. The driver didn't say anything and opened the back door and make a gesture of 'please' to them.

Aku is baffled because of the sudden event. He didn't have any friends or acquaintances with such a nice and expensive car. The uniform worn by the driver is also much more expensive than Aku's lifelong grandparents' house for him.

He knows that in front of him right now is a big boss doing something to them, as he wants to shield Chloe from the trouble that happened he hear Chloe's voice from behind and make him surprised.

"Sebas, come back alone. I will come home with my friend over here"

The Driver whose name is surprisingly Sebas bowed down his head with his hand on his chest.

"My apologies Young Lady, I couldn't comply with your order. Madam has ordered me to take you home right after the Young Lady school finished today"

Aku could hear the conversation between them, and shockingly today he knows the family Chloe has is a rich family. She is the real young lady from movies he always watched.

Faintly he could hear Chloe murmur 'Mother' in his ear. Chloe set her sight in Aku's direction. Opening her mouth he could predict what will happen next.

"I'm sorry Aku, it seems today we couldn't go home together"

".... Ohh, that's alright. Your mother is probably gonna asked about today incident, I somewhat know about it"

"Don't worry, your mother must be worried about you. That kind of thing you said before wouldn't happen again"

Chloe didn't reply to his words, but instead, give him a bitter smile before going inside the car, the driver Sebas closed the door softly and turned directly to him, and walk forward.

Right in front of Aku, Sebas give Aku an envelope. Aku accepts it without asking anything else, Sebas bowed down and goes to the car. Before leaving Sebas open the window of the car and opened his mouth speaking to Aku.

"Mr. Manoyami, I'm pleased to meet you today. Sadly I couldn't greet you with great respect today but we will meet again on Saturday. At that time allow me to greet you with respect"

"Uh? yeah, sure. Okay, see you next time!"

Aku couldn't hear Sebas's voice because he was still shocked by an image of the life of his friend. Chloe as a young lady is still the thing attached to his mind and because of that he just answers Sebas' words with sounds he heard.

But with this event, now he knows the first and beloved best friend is living very far away from him. It has been 3 months after their first meeting, he knows she is somewhat from a rich family but he didn't think she have a driver to pick up her from school.

This is why he has been told as a toad wanted to marry a swan by his classmates. His dream girl is very far away from his grasp even though a few minutes ago he is standing beside her.

He needs to work hard, his system couldn't be depended so he needs something other than the system to become strong. With the event, it makes his will stronger. As long as he believes it, he can make it real.

Users could use magic after they have become a User. But the magic they could do is called Basic Magic. There are 4 elements of Basic Magic is Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind.

There are also High Tier Magic, Users could do after they have the acknowledgment from the system. This is called the name Advance Magic, Fire becomes thunder. Water becomes Ice, Earth becomes Sand, and Wind could be combined with one of the Basic Magic.

Because of the complexity, the magic ha0 tons of combinations, User usually focuses on one element. Because they need points to increase their magic and they use it to increase their power value instead of doing many magic elements.

Some of the Users in their early days as Users try to be dual wield mages, in the future, they are confused to increase each skill because their power value is lower than the single wield mage.

The dual wield Mage isn't stronger than the higher power value single wield Mage. Their magic combination is only more complex and has much more magic they could use but is less important.

The important magic could be used because it is not element magic. Inside the basic magic, there are several types of those important magic such as barrier, the magic he has used when helping Chloe Magic Channeling is also in the border of Basic Magic.

There are also Light Magic and Dark Magic that could be used in Basic Magic other than the 4 mentioned before. All Users could learn Light and Dark Magic but only a few of them want to be one because the first tier of Light and Dark Magic is useless compared to other Basic Magic.

Before meeting with Chloe's driver, Aku's goal is to become a single-wield Mage, but right now he knows if he becomes the only single-wield mage then he wouldn't get accepted by her family, and because of that, he changed his goal.

He targetting to become a Wizard, which is the master of all magic like the first Hero of Human 90 Years ago when the TOG has just appeared. The First Hero's name is Kang Ma Hiiro.

At that time his name is known all over the world, and in that period the entity isn't born and the world is divided as a country rather than the current Zones. He wanted to know what happened at that time but he couldn't because that time has already happened.

He needs to make a perfect Wizard compared to his predecessor, the first Hero Hiiro is still lacking when he wields all of his magic, from the record and videos on the early days as User Hiiro is weak. But when other Heroes couldn't beat the First Monster only Hiiro could. The reason isn't recorded in the records but he can think about many.

90 years ago the technology is still old compared to the current time. That probably makes him know much lack of the First Hero even though he hasn't met him yet. The recording video has been spread all over the world and watched on many social media over million times.

But he suddenly disappear and after that, his name hasn't been mentioned except for the first hero title he got as the history subject. Aku kinda remembered it because his title 'first' is always said by his grandfather.

'If you want to be a person, become the first person to do something other hasn't done yet'

Was the words his Grandfather always said, as he reminisces his Grandfather's words he remembers that his Grandparent is in their 20s when the ToG appeared. When he arrived home today he will ask his grandparents more about the first hero.

Aku is happy because the goal's path he just rewrites is good and his future will be good if he becomes the man in his new goal. He can't wait until he becomes his future goal at that time he with a good smile will face up with Chloe's parent as a Wizard.
