Prodigies Gathering

Arriving at the hotel, both kid are guided to a special meeting room by the attendant and finally saw the person they expecting to meet.

"Father! Its truly been a while"

"Uncle, please hear this! you can't believe what I see in the airport!! The price for a bottle of mineral water is 5 Dollar! 5 DOLLAR!! for goodness sake, are they trying to rob people"

Charlotte who was expecting a touching reunion with her father suddenly lose her mood and instead the feeling of beating someone to death currently replacing it in her heart.

Both kid start to bickering even though the adult around was watching. Alex was helpless, it is one thing for Danial since he never learn the proper etiquette but even for Charlotte to become like this.

In the front he was helpless but in his heart he was very happy to see that cold and uncaring attitude of Charlotte finally gone and she becoming more and more of a child like her age.

" 'cough' alright that's enough you two. Do you remember the purpose we are here today? Tonight will be the official opening ceremony for the anti-terror international meeting and international genius bout.

There will be nothing much for tonight but tomorrow and the other days will be the magic knowledge exchange" but before Alex could finish his word Charlotte interrupt

"Or just a simply brute fight, not fist but magic instead right?"

" 'Cough' well dear, you are not wrong however the higher up will not be pleased to hear that term since they are very strict when it come to show a proper etiquette and behavior as a noble.

anyway I'm already prepare for you two everything you need for tonight and the upcoming day. Just remember to do your best."

Coming inside his room, Danial curiously look around it. Every corner of the room was arrange neatly and giving off a super luxurious feeling. Jumping continuously on the bed which was very soft and elastic at the same time Danial become deep in his thought.

"the bed sure is very elastic. Well for now, I think I should report the earlier accident to Uncle Alex first. I wonder what kind of people will I meet?'

30 september 2035 , 9:00 p.m Extravagania Hotel Los Angeles

"wow never though, you would look pretty good in that suit. Well your face is still ordinary though"

" what kind of grudge do you have with my face!!? can't you just leave it alone"

"I refuse though!" tilting her head a bit which make Charlotte look more cuter, she bluntly saying refuse.

Danial who know the young lady in front of him was unreasonable could not help but to be astonished as he found out there was no limit to how unreasonble she can become.

While conversing with each other, a man approach them with his son.

"Hello, and a very good day. You must be Charlotte Dragonia, where is your father?"

"Well hello there, I'm sorry sir my father is busy right now"

acting disappointed the man continue with his conversation smoothly

"well that was disappointing, but it can't be help. So young lady Charlotte even though I don't have the chance of meeting your father I hope you can give my son a chance of making a connection with you. you wouldn't reject it right?"

stepping up the boy standing behind his father introduce himself while the father began to move elsewhere starting conversation with others.

"Hi, I am Fill Freeman I have heard of you many times lady Charlotte. you are the genius who manage to reach tier 2 magic at the age of 8 and broken your father record to who only manage to reach it at 10 but still consider genius."

while feeling a little bit out of it, She look at the boy beside her and feeling a little bit frustrated remembering the boy who also manage to become tier 2 but in just 2 year.

with a very cold demeanor Charlotte politely asking Freeman to scram.

"I'm sorry but would you please go away I'm busy"

with that she ignore him, grabbing Danial hand who is currently mused watching the scene that could only happen in the novel and go away.

"ouch ouch, can you not grab my wrist so tightly with reinforcement magic?"

"hmph if someone would help me with the conversation instead of acting like bystander earlier than maybe I'll be a little kind!"

"well I though it was good for you to have a connection, isn't having good connection is one of noble trait which is very beneficial?"

" 'sigh' I don't mind having connection, but... Freeman is a no go. It is because they are one of those noble who covet our Dragonia power."

"the group that attack us?"

"yes"

"wow and they have still have the courage to come to us? they sure have a nerve of steel"

suddenly one attendant come to them and request Charlotte to go with whim as per instructed by Alex.

"it must be my dad want to introduce me around again. Danial you can just wonder around, eat some food or have a conversation without me, I'll be back"

"sure"

looking around after Charlotte left, Danial move toward the the food table to fill his stomach a little.

on his way he saw a fatty currently begging around a group of European boys

"hahaha please don't be like this sir Anouk , I believe we can have a very beneficial relationship with each other"

"hey fatty, sir Anouk here is the genius who manage to reach tier 3 magic at the age of 11, many people are hot in pursuit for him and also very interest in making connection with this great man, what kind of benefit some poor Asian country bumpkin can give us??"

"hahaha please don't misunderstand sir, Asian country is not poor and we believe we can have a lot of exchange"

however the fatty was push away by the boy name Anouk who act as the leader of the group. The fatty fall on his but and being kick by the other boy before they stop caring about him and move away.

because the place was blind spot not many people notice it and even if they do they don't care since Asian country have no much relationship with magic related industries and studies.

Danial frown looking at those guys attitude before move forward to help the fatty

"Hey fat... I mean are you ok?"

"are you trying to call me fatty just now? well its ok though I used to it. My name is Wong Fangzhi and you"

"Danial , Danial Hassan. Why are you trying to get guys like that? they don't even listening to you though?"

" sigh' it can't be help. In magic society most Europe country already had a large influence in it since they already began study magic since ancient time, they also had a lot of secret weapon and power, making them look down on many country in this world especially Asian people since they have a lot of martial practitioner."

Danial never thought that making connection was this difficult so he ask again

"then how about you make connection with the Asian then"

the fatty only shake his head

"this gathering is for genius only, many that come from Asian country are top super genius in their respective place. it will be weird if they are not aloof and arrogant.

look at that person his name is Long Ao, we came from same country China yet when I was beaten down he just glance at me without bother to help.

look at the next person, Nguyen he is the champion in magic contest in his country under age of 10 and he also one of the person I tried to approach but only being treated with a cold shoulder."

"err fatty your life sure is tough, anyway just forget that already ok. lets eat some food"

the fatty look up to him and his eye tear up

"are you an angel? this is my first time someone treat me so nicely!"

"really fatty..... just what happen in your life??"

having a fun meal together both Wong Fangzhi and Danial become a good friend. When they return to the main hall, a loud of commotion is occurring.

the fatty ask the nearby boy to get the answer,

"oh its you fatty Wong, well the story like this at first it was some child quarrelling among the Freeman family boy and Anastasia family girl, however it soon get bigger as the noble family who related to each faction get in untill the duke who overseer each faction intervene yet it only worsen the situation as the Dragonia family who overseer the Anastasia never had good relation with Bloodbound family who overseer the Freeman."

"wait did you just say Dragonia family?"

Danial when he heard the Dragonia family tried to confirm his hearing before a loud voice of a girl which is very familiar to him could be heard. He could not help but facepalm at the situation knowing it will only become worse as Charlotte was never a person who's backing down.

" ERIC BLOODBOUND! do you have no shame attacking a girl!"

"well isn't this the young prodigies from the Dragonia family, I'm sorry the girl doesn't believe in our superiority in magic so I just show her some tier 3 magic prowess please don't be mad"

"you showing off your magic is none of my concern! However to dare directly harm someone without a solid reason with magic had show your incompetency's in determine friend and foe making you unsuitable as a heir of mage!"

"what did you say!!?"

" I said you are incompetence!"

Danial who was watching from the side sighing even more making the fatty weird

'that girl!, shouldn't she calm the situation and not escalate it?'

currently Eric who can't stand insult from Charlotte made a special hand gesture to his noble subordinate. Charlotte could not sense it but Danial who was a bystander could clearly see that she was slowly being surrounded.

Eric then reply

"Incompetency? it seems like lady Charlotte here has been blinded because of her title let me show you how can a tier 3 like me be incompetence"

Eric directly launch his magic to Charlotte expectation and she counter it perfectly however she did not expect that there are other multiple magic launch at her at every direction. She was late to realize she was being surrounded. At the moment she blame herself in her thought.

'why am I always like this? I thought I had the upper hand but I always slip up at the final moment like 2 years ago.'

closing her eyes, a sudden barrier surrounding her. Looking at the barrier which mix of 5 element perfectly she become ecstatic.

"DANIAL!"
