27 Succession (1/2)
”You have to kill a human.” The King said with a grave tone, expecting Nero to be shocked.
Nero, however, was quite different, a complete antithesis to being shocked, he was gleeful.
'What could possibly be easier to do than this?! I'll probably have to constrain myself a lot actually, goddamnit.' Nero thought.
He was also curious about something, what was his aptitude in magic?
'Nova, look at all factors and ascertain which one can be measured, quantified, and had the greatest effect on my level of manipulation.'
'Acknowledged.
'Processing through all changes in the body since becoming a mage.
'Finding their correlation to manipulation.
'Value returned: most likely factor - DNA, another likely factor - Brainwave amplifier in the blood; this correlates to the DNA as well.' Nova said, completing her report.
Nero put up a shocked, slightly disgusted face with a hint of fear, making his innocence to bloodshed really stand out.

”You want me to kill someone?” Nero said, sarcastic rejection filling his voice.
”No, no! Of course not! I need you to reach the top band in the juniors section and upright refuse them when they ask anything of the sort. This part was made to check the righteous character of the person they will recruit, the man they want you to kill is normally a convict with a history full of crime.
”The test is made to test your determination to do the right thing, even if it means having to kill someone.”

The world was fucked up, **** and slaughter occurred at every moment somewhere. Though the world was based on the hierarchy of power, formations of clans offset the number of evil deeds one could do after gaining power, this was why major powers kept their methods to improve top secret.
Clans were a powerful group of individuals usually having a clan master, his descendants, clan elders, their descendants, and disciples affiliated with a Sect.
All disciples had to go through the process of elimination when chosen by sects, starting at the bottom, as an outer core disciple, making their way to power by reaching a certain stage in manipulation or having continual growth at a fast pace. The best way was to just have a tournament, weeding out the easy-going, weak-willed people and adding an agent of determination in their mindset to improve, while rewarding those with the ability to improve with an enticing reward.
Nordon, One of the major rulers of the Northern Mainlands, was a Sect-based Clan. It brought it in promising individuals from foreign Kingdoms and Islands to be a part of their Sect, with the enticement to pave their way to a stronger, better future.
If one was good enough, they'd be sought after by the affiliated Clan, removing them from the bottom and giving them knowledge and resources to fulfil their potential as a part of their clan.

”That's okay then, I don't want to kill people. If I did, then that would be saying that it was okay for my Village to try and kill me.” Nero smiled, looking like he was happy to not have to kill someone.
The reality, however, was different.
”But, if they still want me, should I go with them? You said they come from far far away right?”
”Of Course! Your godly potential is just being wasted here, right now, your mind is too short-sighted. You haven't seen even a drop of the sea! Magic brings endless possibilities, there are techniques out there that a Hunter could use to defeat a Slayer! Or let you fly, walk on water, run faster than the wind and much more!”
