11 NOOOOOOO! (1/2)

Week passed. I packed up my things. My life at Royal Academy will start in a few hours. I put on my school uniform and called out to Amber that I was ready. Also I gave her upgraded version of her magical necklace. I infused part of my soul to it. Every night my soul would be released and baptize her body to don't age. Her body will stay the same until I reach 15 years old. Then I'll take care of her constituon by myself. We got on the carriage school assigned us and rode to the capital.

We stopped right in front of the Royal Academy as I needed to attend the opening ceremony. I got of the carriage and then helped mom. She was tearing so much because of how proud she was of me. I was tearing as well as I couldn't see her on the daily basis until I graduate. I turn around took quick peck on her lips and quickly ran to attend an Opening Ceremony. I turned around to send her kiss with my hands and waved her goodbye. She slightly blushed caught the kiss waved back with eyes saying 'I love you too Honey. I will miss you.'

I came into schoolyard to find professor Croft to help me to my spot as well as handing me keys from my accommodation. I don't want to make friends with anybody as everyone is older than me pretty much by six or seven years. I want to keep as loves profile as I can.

Opening Cerempny was quite boring as I already lived through that on the Earth but I had to feign excitement about it. How annoying. However as I thought it will end, headmasters assistant called me on the stage and announced everything about me. My age, affinities and of course that I am commoner. At end of the my introduction slightly bowed and gained obligatory applause from other students. As I walking down the stage my perception kicked and I abruptly turn my head towards the roof. 'Wait no one is there? Weird.'

One of the professor asked if I was alright. I shrugged with shoulders and replied, ”Yes, thanks for the concern.”

I was getting back to my spot and realized something was wrong. I noticed that there wasn't a single girl either between students or women amongst the professors. I didn't pay my attention to it just there along with thoughts like 'Maybe they are in different hall...' or something along this line.

After opening ceremony we have a day free. I decided to visit my accommodation to check it out as I will live in here for next 6-7 years *sigh*.

I unlock the room by using mana-infused key. Keys to all rooms are the same, thus need to diferenciate. Every person who can use the mana leaves for them unique mana trace. So it's possible diferenciate who and when launched a spell.

Anyway. I walked into my bedroom and was pleasantly surprised. It was not bad at all. Walls were white without any decoration (which I don't really mind), in the left corner was big double bed, next to bed was little night table with a weird lamp. I asked System to search for it on my information database.

Meanwhile letting system to search, I inspect the room. It has own bathroom, kitchen and little courtyard. I ponder over it with surprise, 'This doesn't look like room, it's freaking house. It's not I don't like it though.'

[Found Match... Lamp is most likely to be a Mana Gathering Lamp (C+ Class Item) - upon activating a lamp it gathers all leaking mana from host,process it and then insert through host's pores back to his body. It strengthens the mana as well as the quality of it.]

”Oh. what a neat device. Wait C+? Systém can you elaborate?”

[C+ refers to rank of items. The higher the rank the better and the more expensive items will be. The exact opposite is true as well. The lower the rank, the cheaper, weaker but more available items will be.

Ranks of all items (from strongest to the weakest) Legendary/Divine, S, A, B, C, D, E, F. There also +/- differences. For example A+ is really rare item but it closely doesn't make it to class, if it gets upgraded it became S- at first and just then can be upgraded again to S-Class. On the other hand Legendary/Divine Items can be only made by Magic God cultivators and to find is close to impossible.]

'Oh that's quite interesting' ”System, based on quality off my mana and spells I can possibly cast, whats my current cultivation rank?”

[Overall... Mage Apprentice.]

I was stunned after so much work and pain I can't even be considered as mage. I stuttered and asked, ”H-How is that even possible?! Please explain or I ll just turn in dumbo...

[as if you aren't already...] murmered System and it was actually inaudible for Fenix as he was panicking and couldn't think straight.

Now in a 'normal' robotic voice System stated. [Overall you can't be considered as `Mage' (author note - mage as cultivation rank) because host have all the affinities in the existence, so if you want to climb realms, you need to be that respective realm in all affinities, so although your fire magic is already at level of 'Mage' you can't wield that power because of limitations other elements pose.]

It took me a couple hours to get calm again and I noticed it was already night outside. 'I guess I need to work even more than I though, *sigh*, guess it won't be a much of a help to sulk over it. I laid down on my bed and proceeded to sleep.
