"Before I give you an answer first I have a question"
"What is it?"
"Earlier, you knew my name why is that?"
"If you want an answer follow me let's talk somewhere a little more private"
'That's definitely a red flag this could easily be a trap'
"There is no need to be so cautious of me if I really intended to harm why would I bother setting up a trap when I could easily kill you now instead"
'She's got a point even now I can't find any loop holes in her defense she's obviously stronger than i am'
"Fine lead the way"
"We've been walking for a while now are we still not there?"
"You need to learn how to be a little more patient anyway we're here"
"You brought me all the way here to a hotel"
"Yep"
"Now then before we begin with our chat'
[Silence]
"What kind spell is that?" I couldn't help but ask
"It's spell that creates a space using mana that blocks sound, as long as it's active no one can hear us from the outside"
"What a useful spell"
"If you try hard enough you'll learn it one day"
"Doesn't this spell originate from your attribute?"
"Whlie it's true it would be difficult to learn a spell that originates from another attribute, as long as it's a spell that doesn't originate from an attribute but only requires mana with a bit of practice you could learn it too.
"I see, so it's like a miniature version of the inner world"
"Exactly but it requires one to have a large mana capacity but considering what i saw it shouldn't be a problem for you"
"Now then back to the topic, how do you know who i am?"
"I know who are because your mother told me about you"
"My mother!!"
"That's right not too long ago I received a letter from your mother she told about how her son suddenly had a large amount of mana even though she couldn't see anything from him and while ago"
'It was back then I had a feeling she could see just how much mana I had but I dismissed the thought because she didn't say anything'
"If I may ask what's your connection to my mom"
"Who do you think taught her that healing magic"
"She told me she learnt it at church, so she lied to me"
"Well it's not a total lie I met your mother in that church, but since your mom's attribute manifested itself without her going through the proper procedure like you and I did she was kicked out so I took liberty of teaching her myself that spell so she could leave a happy life, but since she had small mana capacity that was the only spell i could teach her"
"Wait, what was the grandmaster of Alster academy doing there in the first place"
"I was on vacation so I decided to travel a bit" she said with a smug look on her face
"So anyway, I'll ask you again Michael enroll in my academy"
"It's a good opportunity I would love to but you see there's someone am looking for, so i am afraid I can't enroll in Alster academy without knowing her whereabouts"
"Is that all so if I help you find this person you will enroll in my academy"
"Well yes, but how do you plan on doing that?"
"That's simple you see this magic ball allows me to see whoever i want to as long i know who they are"
"Really!!!"
"Yes, I just need you to place your hand on it and create a clear image in your mind of how she looks like"
"Okay"
As I put my hand on the magic ball I created a clear image in my mind of what Sarah looked like there was a chance It might not work because if my appearance changed so did hers but I still hoped it would, just as i thought that the magic ball turned white and a single voice rang out of it
""I'll be waiting for you at the heavenly palace""
Then the white colour disappeared
'No doubt about it that was Sarah's voice, but what's the heavenly palace'
"I can't believe it, how do you know one of the top mago?"
"Top mago, what's that?"
"This will need a bit of an explanation, you see Michael the top mago is a title given to the strongest mages in the world. In fact every mage inspires to be one"
"Okay, so what is the heavenly palace?"
"I was getting to that. The heavenly palace is the place were every top mago meet's every 5 years to select new mages who have become five stars mages to join their sections"
"Five stars, what's that?"
"It's a ranking system we use in Alster academy to determine a mages rank. Currently you are unranked, but if you can gather five stars before the next selection you should be chosen by a mago"
"Is Alster academy the only magic academy out there?"
"No, there are four more, but i do hope you'll join mine"
"One last question, do you know the name of the top mago who we just heard now?"
"I find it weird you made contact with someone who you don't even know what their name is, but i won't pry any further. Judging by the white colour and that voice i think that was lady Eira"
"Lady! She older than you or something"
"No, she's about the same age as you, I call her that because she's the youngest person to ever become a top mago thus deserves the utmost respect"
"You make it sound like you've met her or something"
"Oh, Did I forget to mention she was in Alster academy before she became a mago, if you want more information about her there's only place to find it"
"You did forget to mention that important detail"
'Honestly, there's a lot of things that don't add up if Eira and Sarah are the same person than how is it she become a top mago so fast i mean I know she had amazing talent but still'
"Fine I've made my decision I'd love to enroll in Alster academy"
"Lovely, we leave tomorrow, normally you would need to do the entrance exam but I've already seen your capabilities so it's fine"
"The only problem now is convincing my parents. My mother would agree, but I'm not so sure about my father"
"Don't worry leave everything to me"
As we got back my father had a worried look on his face it seems I took a longer than expected
"Michael, don't wander off away like that again? Do you have any idea how worried I was"
"I'm sorry about that"
"I'm never leaving you out of my site again"
'Well you'll have to eventually'
"Anyway, thank you for helping my child I'm truly grateful is there anyway I can repay you"
"It's fine it wasn't any trouble but there is one thing I want. I need to talk to Ashley"
"Do you have some connection to my wife?"
As he asked this i entered their conversation and answered him
"Father, this woman right here is mother's teacher"
"Really?"
"Yes"
"Well if you say so then let's go"
"Dear, we're back"
"Welcome back you must be hungry, dinner is ready just wash your hands before....
As my mother looked at the figure behind me with a happy expression she ran towards her and hugged her
"It's nice to see you again teacher"
"Same, I'm glad you've been doing well the last time I saw you, you but a little girl now you even have your own family I'm proud"
"It's all Thanks to you"
"Now then I need to discuss something important with you two"
"I have a feeling I know what that something might be" as she said this she looked at my direction
'I'm suddenly getting chills'
"Anyway we can talk over dinner"
As we were eating my mother started the conversation
"Teacher, if I'm not mistaken you want Michael to enroll in Alster academy right?"
"What!!!" Said my father
"That's right, your son has amazing potential and I want to nurture it'
"Wait, wait, wait what's all this about enrolling in a magic academy i mean Michael can't even use magic"
"Actually, father i can"
"Really?"
"Yes, let me show you"
[Windblade]
"Wow, you really can use magic"
"So your attribute is wind?" asked my mother
"It's not only wind mother"
[Lightning ball]
"You're duel Wilder" both my mother and miss Maria asked with a stunned look on their faces
"Is that good" asked my father
"It is, even among nobility it's rare to have someone who can use two attributes" answered by miss Maria
"I wanted to keep it a secret but I want to show you father that I'm not kid anymore i can protect myself if needed so please allow me to go to Alster academy"
"Do you really wanna go there Michael?"
"I do"
"Then fine if it's that important to you, you can go but be careful most of the nobility won't love the idea of learning with a commoner"
"I know, mother what about you"
"I'm fine with it the only problem is money I don't think we can pay for housing and food"
"You don't have to worry Alster academy runs on a point system as long he gathers enough points he should be fine and since he's your son I'll give him about 1000 points to start with"
"Thank you very much teacher I am truly grateful"
"Anyway, Michael go pack your stuff we are leaving first in the morning
"Okay"
"I can't believe he's a duel Wilder i knew he was special because of how large his mana capacity was but still. Teacher will he be alright most of the nobility won't take kindly to a commoner who's a duel Wilder"
"Don't worry he'll be fine after all this path he'll have to overcome sooner or later"
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
"Are you ready to go Michael"
"Yes"
"Mother, father I'll be going now"
"Take care of yourself Michael and make sure you eat enough okay" my mother said this with tears running down her cheeks"
'In my past life I hadn't known the love of a mother but I do now'
"Dad, make sure you don't make mother worry too much about you okay"
"I will, so take care of yourself"
I nodded to them and said "i will"
"Are you done saying you good bye's"
"I am, by the way where are we going and how are we gonna get there?"
"My academy is located in the capital city of Adrando as for how we're going to get there"
[Come to me] as she uttered those words a long object appeared and landed on the palm of her hand"
"What's that?"
"This is a magic broom it's used to travel long distances, and it's also an important partner every mage should have, once you get to Alster academy you'll get yours. You need if you wanna go places as well if you ever find yourself in an aerial battle"
"What was that spell you used to summon it?"
"That was a summoning spell once a mage and magic broom form a magic contract the mage will be able to summon their magic broom anytime they want"
"I see"
"Anyway, since you don't have yours yet you'll ride with me so hope on"
"Okay"
As i hoped on the magic broom
"Okay, now hold on tight to me"
"Do I have too?"
"Do you wanna fall?"
"No mam"
"Good, now then let's go"
As she said that we took off with amazing speed
"This is your first time flying right, how do you feel?"
"Good, the view is beautiful from all the way up here"
"I know right, anyway we will be going faster don't let go"
"I won't"
'Wow this is amazing I could have never experienced this in my past life"
After traveling for a whole two days we finally made it
"Welcome Michael to Adrando"
