16 The Path Forward Part 2 (1/2)

Little Soul could see the questioning look that man was giving him since but he didn't care he simply wanted to know more.

”What are the people there like?” this was an important question because someone that joined the clan, Guild or whatever you want to call it typically as people of a similar mind.

”What they're like? well um ... I'm not entirely sure since I'm not a magi or anything like that but I did hear a few rumors. They say everyone there is a masochist or something similar. They are a unique breed even amongst other Magi. Not only that I hear all of them are super strong even amongst Magi of similar rank and their tattoos have a weird ability.

Their selection process and training of future Magi are said to be really hard. They're willing to accept anyone but out of a hundred people who apply to be a magi's Apprentice 10 might pass and out of those 10 only one might become an official Magi. Even amongst other clans their methods, entry rate, survival rate, and success rate are brutal”.

Little Soul was not expecting to hear that but at least he heard good news Clan was willing to accept anyone so he had a chance. You could see the light shining in Little Soul's old eyes if you looked closely enough.

”Do you know how to become someone like him a mage”. He didn't hold back at all when questioning the lanky man. His childhood dream wielding magic will come true.

”They say there's a bunch of different ways but all of them are hard especially for people like us. You could join a clan and they invest in you afterward you have to serve them for a hundred years or so it depends. You could become a rogue magi but, I highly don't recommend that it's far harder than the other way. You could also get lucky exploring a ruin and obtaining some ancient magi's legacy but, that one has a one in a billion chance of happening. But, knowing all that's meaningless if you don't have the talent for magic”. While waving his hand dismissively to the old man he had a knowing look of regret on his face from a shattered dream.

The old man took in every word that missing a syllable ”how do you know if you have the talent for Magic?”.

”That's easy the Magi has already popularized the usage of crystal balls that could show a person their affinity and talent for Magic they can be found at any Park, School, or government office. You can go to the Nightingale park right now right up the road there should be a crystal ball next to the swing set. He then pointed in a direction to the closest crystal ball he knew of at the time.

Little Soul was visibly happy that a crystal ball was so close to him. ”One last question do you know how to cast magic?”.

The lanky man was truly wondering why this old man was asking him all these bizarre questions shouldn't he already know the answers to them? ” I don't know how to use magic but, magi have officially released a few beginner books so some people could have a head start like meditation and stuff like that. Their so cheap even poor people like use can buy them using for a few drachma instead of the usual magic crystals.

You could find them in any book store anything a higher grade than that is tightly locked up by the magi especially grade 1 knowledge and above. You want anything like that you might get lucky at a black market but unless you know some people there is low chance of success”.

Every sentence filled Little Soul with energy, he felt like a kid again experiencing Christmas for the first time. ”Thank you, truly thank you words alone could not convey the gratitude I feel” In a perfect 90-degree angle little soul bowed.

The lanky man was weird out by this old man now bowing him after answering those simple questions. Some other people even looked over at the two with questioning looks but, didn't say anything.

”Come on there's no reason to do that It's not like I did anything special” scratching the back of his head in confusion he tried to get the old man to stop.

”But you did you pointed me to the direction of the path that I must walk and for that, I am truly grateful this comes from the bottom of my heart”. Still bowing in a perfect angle little soul notices something in the corner of his eye it was that magi that can shoot lightning he was going to leave.
