Kingdom Of The Moonlight Rose

Eden who watched the events unfolded in front of him chose to ignore it. The event was none of his business and he did not want to stir up trouble. As he heard the old man expel the kid from the school he was thinking. It was very likely that this kid was an elementalist.

'Does this guy think elementalists grow on trees?'

It was already known that elementalists were rare and not everyone had the ability to become one. To freely toss one away was a risk that they most academies could not afford.

'I wonder what academy he came from that they could afford to casually toss away an underperforming elementalist' thought Eden.

Eden walked over to the the kid that was just thrown into a stack of barrels when he heard the kid say to himself,"What the hell am I going to do now?"

"Are you okay?"

Isaac turned to look at Eden who looked as he came with good intentions.

"Yes, thanks for asking"

"I couldn't help but notice that you seem to be out of an academy now, would you like to join mine? Theres only a few of us but I think you'll like it."

"Um... ah.... this is too soon!" exclaimed Isaac. Isaac was shocked he didn't think a shining light would come and save him so soon!

"Come on, our headmaster is awesome you'll like it with us, since there is so few of us you'll get alot of mentoring you wouldn't have at your old academy!"

"Alright, I will check it out after I talk to your headmaster. What is your name anyways?"

"I'm Eden, Eden Durreye, from Oak Academy. Nice to meet you!"

"The name's Isaac, Isaac Vale, formerly of Eldritch Academy"

'Ah no wonder,' thought Eden. Eldritch Academy, according to Headmaster Oak was one of the few schools that were in the top ten in the kingdom. These were one of the academies that could afford to give up a precious resource such as a elementalist because they were adept at recruiting many.

Eden left the training grounds he was at with Isaac and met up with Adara and Headmaster Oak at another area of the training ground open to the bronze rank participants. Here there were many stone pillars lining the wall. An elementalist could apply force to the stone pillars and depending on how it lit up could determine the amount of force applied. Adara was practicing her punches on the stone pillars. There Eden introduced Isaac and filled both on what occurred. Isaac shared his element and decided to officially join the academy then and there.

"I see Isaac, your light element doesn't really work well with all the dark element specialization that Eldritch Academy has, they truly cannot use your skills to the maximum since all your skills don't match up with theres. Why did you even sign up to go to the academy there If I could ask?"

"My family lives close to Eldritch Academy, and so I thought that I should go to the academy nearby and stay close to my family and provide support."

"It is okay to want to be near your family, but as an elementalist, your life has already been set in stone, you will leave them behind eventually because we are a different breed, and aspire to be something greater. Your starting point in life is already much higher than many others." preached Headmaster Oak. "It's fate that you met Eden Isaac, I expect great things from you."

'I expect great things from you...' this gave Isaac a warmth in his heart that he was missing from the elder at Eldritch Academy.

'And with that, we have five as soon as Ignis comes back' smiled Headmaster Oak, he was giddy with excitement. The plan that Headmaster Oak had was coming into fruition. He wanted to use this time to focus on everyone's individual growth at the time, If he could have five elementalists that reached formed their first circle or close to it by the time the tournament came by, Headmaster Oak believe they would be in a great situation.

"Isaac, by the way what spells do you know so far? What do you use to fight?" asked Adara.

"Eldritch Academy gave me a bit of training in using sword and shield."

'Excellent' thought Headmaster Oak, 'This Isaac can sit on the front line of the group'

"Phooey! How come no one fights with their fists anymore!" said Adara disappointingly.

"It takes a special type of person to want to fight with their fists Adara."

"How about spells?" asked Eden.

"I only know a few, Flash, Healing Light, and Shield of Light" Isaac replied.

These were definitely beginner skills. Light element skills were typically used for defensive and support. The Flash skill generated a blinding light that would blind an opponent for several seconds. However, it was a double edged sword because it affected everyone around the caster. Shield of light was a defensive skill generating a shield around the caster or the person of their choice which could stop several attacks before breaking. Healing Light was your standard healing spell that most light elementalists possessed.

"I will work hard to provide you with some additional spells, I believe in your potential." smiled Headmaster Oak.

Isaac was getting excited,"Thank you Headmaster."

"What we need to do now is evaluate your battle tactics, first in one on one combat, and your role as part of the group in the upcoming academy competition."

"Yes Headmaster." Isaac stood up and Isaac put his head up to salute.

"We need evaluate your proficiency with the sword and shield"

"Yes Headmaster."

"We also need to evaluate how well you use your spells!"

"Yes Headmaster." said Isaac obediently.

"We need to build up an aggressiveness within you"

"Yes Headmaster."

"You can start by ramming that pillar over there with your shield over and over again." said Headmaster Oak with a serious face.

"Huh?"
