Chapter 1: Just the Weakest Magician (1/2)

Hunters Dystopian City, Northern Beast's Wilderness, Planet Xavier.

Hunters Dystopian City exists as one of the most famous cities ruled by the Magician Association since it has given birth to numerous talented magicians and powerful combatants.

The city was famous for two reasons!

The first reason for the city's popularity was the schools for magicians. It's a place where the instructors teach the children how to fight from the age of six.

The instructors of the academy trains the next generations for years and prepare them for the entrance examination of the magician academy. After all, every magician needs to attend the magician academy of their respective cities, in either planet Earth or planet Xavier, for two years once they're of age, so that they can gain legal certification of them being a magician.

The second reason for the city's popularity was the wilderness, which surrounded it from all four sides.

The wilderness outside this city's dome-like energy barrier was dotted with trees, spanning more than ten thousand miles. It is a place for magicians to hunt beasts for their materials and gather ingredients such as magic herbs, magic plants, and so on for alchemical purposes, as the wilderness has an abundance of monsters and herbs. However, it is not safe for any human. After all, a person can die anytime in the wilderness under the claws and jaws of monsters.

”Only magicians can go to such places to hunt monsters and come out alive. Even among magicians, casualties occur daily as magicians who don't train hard enough become the prey in the wilderness. They get hunted down by beasts. Do you want to become the prey?!” A man with a height of six and a half feet and seemingly in his mid-thirties shouted at the top of his lungs as he looked at the teenagers running across the wide stretched field with all their strength. Although he was in his mid-thirties and had some stubbles on his face, the instructor of the magician academy was still in better shape than people in their twenties.

”No, sir! We don't want to be the prey in the wilderness. We want to be the hunters.” The students shouted out as they completed the twentieth lap around the running track with ease.

”That's good! But words mean nothing. Prove it with your actions. The best way for young magicians in the magical realm to increase their magic energy capacity like you guys is to exercise to the best of their limits. So, keep on running until you complete seventy laps around the track. Who knows? Maybe you will be able to gain an increase in your magic energy capacity.” Instructor Leonardo said at the top of his lungs, intending to motivate the young ones.

His words motivated the youngster indeed, and they began running even more hurriedly.

”We understand, Sir. We will prove our conviction to become strong as a magician with our actions!”

Everyone was running at a high speed with ease, except for the weakest magician in history—Elliot Vincent. A name too grand for a fragile chicken like him.

A magician is a human whose body can contain magic energy. Magic energy is present in nature. It is a mysterious energy that the bodies of magicians can retain. The increase in their lifespan, physical capabilities, and strength depends on the amount of magic energy their bodies can contain.

A magician can at least contain more than 15 units of magic energy once they are born. One can increase their magic energy capacity by training and improving their fitness and physical body capabilities.

However, Elliot Vincent happened to be the only man in history that couldn't contain more than two units of magic energy in his body.

He trained a lot too, but for some reason, he never experienced an increase in his magic energy capacity.

Out of all the students here, he was the only one out of breath and gasping for air.

His back was drenched in sweat as his lungs expanded and contracted to the limit. Sweat trickled down from his forehead and along his cheek and chin as his face as red as the scarlet butt of baboons made it seems like he would collapse any moment now.

Taking even a single step felt painful, and he could only do so after mustering up all his strength as if there was a huge boulder placed on his back.
