PART 1 :-
AURA & THE GIFT OF GOD
MC perspective :-
[ At the classroom of academy. ]
Today, the Shaman is going to tell us about Aura. Juha said he will train me at his own pace. He doesn't care about what happens in the academy.
"Tomorrow, I will talk about Aura with you all. Not everyone has the same amount of Aura in their body. It depends on the curse or gift you possess. And for those who have neither, their Aura depends on how mentally and physically strong they are."
Well, he told us that yesterday.
"There are various types of Aura colours , and each colour symbolizes different abilities. For a normal students they share five types of Aura in colour.
RedAura :- It's symbolise the heat of fire. You can create fire using your Red Aura.
BlueAura :- It's symbolise the water. You can manage to summon water by using it.
GreenAura :- It's symbolise the Nature. You can control your surroundings which connects to the nature by this Aura.
WhiteAura :- It's symbolise the air. You can create air bullets or change the flow of the air by using this.
SilverAura :- it's hard to master but if you able to master it you can create lightning or control thunder. And more than that if your Tejes are high you can even control the weather of your surroundings. But it's nearly a impossible things for all of you in this age."
"You all have to master these five first. From time to time, I will also teach you about different types of Aura colors and their abilities.
Now, I want to see the Numen and Tejes in your Aura. Every student, come forward and place your hand on this glass. If it produces a bright golden light, then you have a gift within you. If it produces a dark black light, it means you have a curse. The brighter it glows, the stronger your Tejes power is. Do you have any questions?"
"Shaman, what will happen to those who have neither a gift nor a curse?" a student asked.
"For those who have neither a gift nor a curse, it will simply glow."
"What exactly is a gift or a curse?" Bond asked.
"Basically, if you are God's favorite, then you receive a gift that helps society grow. But if God hates you, then He curses you, which eventually brings destruction to society."
"Then why don't we just kill those who are cursed?"
Nekh asked, though I understood what he was trying to say.
"You can kill a human, but not their curse or gift. Eventually, that curse or gift will still exist in someone else's body. Those who possess them have a very high level of Tejes within them."
"Now, one by one, come forward according to your ranks."
The first person to go was Nekh. After he touched the round glass, it started glowing with a golden light.
"I already knew that I had a gift inside me."
"Do you know what type of gift you have?"
"It's called Glossolalia. The gift where I can speak to birds, animals, and even 'machines' which is used by magic. In myths, this is often called TheLanguageof the Birds. That's the reason why everybody says that I am the voice of God."
"That's so awesome—he really is the face of our generation."
"He will become a great leader of his clan."
Others started praising him. Well, he really has a great gift from God.
Next was Mini; she also has a gift inside her.
"My gift is Hyperesthesia where my sences are in maximum state. But it's depends on my emotions. I can sences my surroundings and many more."
"It's really hard to manage that power. I know a friend of mine who was also born with that gift but eventually died because of it."
Next was Athena. She had the brightest glow among the three.
"My gift is NightVision. I have a high iq level than a normal people, with the power to abel see in night without any light, like a owl."
Now it was Bond's turn to go. Although he didn't have any gift, the glass was glowing intensely.
"How do you have this much Tejes in your body? Without any gift or curse, this level of Tejes is abnormal."
Except for Bond, every other B- and C-ranker had a normal glow.
But wait… what's going on?

PART 2 :-
CURSE AND IT'S CONSEQUENCES
MC perspective :-
The hole class is suprise. Because a boy name Erebus, he is a C ranker, after he touched the glass, it's make a dark black light inside.
"You have a curse! Did you know that before?" the Shaman asked him.
"Yes," he replied in a deep voice.
"What kind of curse do you have?"
"MuteSong, I can mimic anyone's voice but only what they told, not my own thoughts, like a parrot and my song can destroy the surrounding which I can't control."
"Hey, isn't he in your group? Did he tell you before that he is cursed?"
"No. If he had told us before, I would never have been in a group with him."
Others started treating him badly, just like they did to me.
"Hey, don't sit here. I don't want to sit beside you."
I can understand what he feels right now. Just like me, people have started hating him as well.
Now it was time for the D-rankers. First was Tyr; his Tejes was low.
"It looks like you lack self-confidence."
Next was Dex. The glow was unstable—sometimes it shone brightly, and sometimes it faded away.
"Hmm… Your mental state is unstable. Something is bothering you deeply, and it's affecting your Tejes. If you don't control it, you may face problems in your fights."
And now it was my turn. When I touched the glass, it instantly broke—although it immediately reformed itself.
"What!!!"
Everyone including me is in shock. I didn't imagine that before. I thought that the glass will glow dark, but it's not happen.
"Your curse power is so high that it break the glass. Your curse have the power to destroy a whole Land."
"Did you hear that? It means he is a big threat to us."
"Then why don't the higher authorities of our land eliminate him?"
The hatred shifted toward me. Well, it's all right—I've handled that since childhood. But that guy doesn't know what to do. So, it's fine; now nobody is talking about him.
"Do you know what curse you have? Did your master tell you that before?" the Shaman asked me.
"No, he only told me that my soul is important."
"Today, Otis is going to tell you about the next part of your combat training. So, everyone, go to the ground right now."
After telling us that, he left the class, and we kept our heads facing forward toward the ground.

Sasaki perspective :-
[ In Paradox's office. ]
"Aha… Sasaki, what is the report on that new batch?"
"Just as you hoped, sir. Every A-rank student possesses a gift."
"They come from upper clans; most of them were born with a gift from God."
"And that cursed child—what is his report?"
"Well, the glass broke immediately after he touched it."
"I see."
"There is something unusual as well."
"What?"
"Erebus, a C-ranker, has a curse inside him called Mute Song."
"What?! That's surprising news. Keep an eye on that boy."
"And about that other kid—his curse can destroy the land. What should we do about him?"
"Well, we can't do anything about that. His master is Chiron. If he finds out anything unusual, he will surely erase our existence. For now, just focus on that other kid. Make sure he doesn't become a threat to the upper clan students."
"As you wish."
[ Sasaki leave the room. ]

PART 3 :-
KNOWING ABOUT FURUSIYYA
Bond perspective :-
[ At the ground of the academy. ]
"Today, I am going to tell you about the next part of combat, called Furusiyya. As you all know, you need to master Aura to call yourself a Furusiyya genius."
The Shaman started explaining our next stage of combat.
"For now, I am just going to explain this."
"We can divide Furusiyya into three parts, —
(I) Mounting :- Where you have to master riding on different animals like hourse, dragon, giant eagle etc.
(II) Armedwarfare :- And this is where you have to master your Aura first. The most difficult part and its not for everyone as well. You have to master sword or hand to hand weapons like axes, katana and many more. You need to control your Aura on your weapon while using it. If you intent to fight without a weapon, it's also acceptable.
(III) Archery :- In this part you need to shoot with arrows or magic bullets using your Aura. You have to shooting while standing, kneeling, and on horseback. It's basically a Mounted combat where you have to use your weapon while riding on a animal."
The upper clan students don't have to think much, because they have been trained since childhood. They already know about riding and how to use many weapons. We common students are going to face difficulties.
"You all have to master your Aura while learning the mounting part, because after that you will have to use your Aura."
The Shaman told us what we commoners need to do.
"After you all complete the three stages, we will take the Lance & Spear Combat (Rumh) test, where you will have to face each other. That test also affects your grade. Those who are in F rank now need to perform well; otherwise, you will be expelled."
"Where should we find animals for riding?" a student asked Shaman.
"Our academy has many animals, so you don't have to worry about finding one. All you need to do first is master your Aura."
We all go to the TheMenagerie[*], where we going to see the animal. Although, no flying types available there. So we just have to use land types like hourse, elephant etc.
"Hey, didn't I tell you not to challenge me?"
"If we had known you were cursed like that boy, we would never have let you join our group."
I saw some students showing their hatred toward that other kid, Erebus.
"I'm sorry… but please let me stay with you. I just want to be a warrior."
"You think you'll become a warrior? That's never going to happen. You're already in F rank. It's only a matter of time before you're expelled from the academy and we're free of you."
"I just don't understand why the adults let him live freely! What if he causes bigger problems?"
"Yeah, I get that the cursed boy has a master who is the strongest in the world—but why him?"
"I'm sorry… just let me stay with you guys for some time. I won't let our group down."
"Others have already started avoiding us. We're facing backlash because of you."
They hit him and left him behind. Seeing him lying on the ground, Bright stepped forward.
"I'm sorry for what they did to you. Just give your hundred percent, and they'll accept you."
"Do you know what it feels like to be in a crowd, but no one notices you? You're cursed too—so why do you have friends, but not me? You can never understand what it feels like."
After saying that, he left the place. Bright tried to stop him, but Dex stopped Bright.
"He's not in a state where he can understand your words," Dex said.
"Let him go. He doesn't know about your past."
