Worthy To Be Praised [1]

To think I would remember someone who didn't even serve me as their lord, be it as it may, I can still remember that very moment. The time that I acknowledge someone else's strengths even though it wasn't that shitty bearer of light. The first one I came to be so fond of having a relationship, even though I knew I wouldn't gain anything in return. The first time I met Luna, rather it was the time when the both of us were just mere acquaintances. I wouldn't come to imagine that ill came to be a servant at her next reincarnation

Era of sorcery

The long-awaited battle that would result in a new order of sorcerers has finally come to an end, after their battle that lasted for seven days and seven nights to pass. The leader of the magic council was facing off with his presumed-to-be-dead senior disciple who appeared as the leader of the dark mages that lurk within the world. Their battle was said to have affected the lands, opposing powers that could save the world as the people saw fit. Or a chaotic and destructive power that brings the fall of every living being as we know

[Leader Of The Magic Council: Sol Augustus

Power: Bearer Of Light

Standing: Grandmaster

Specialty: Divine power, Light magic

Traits: Knowledgeable, Kind, Courageous]

"Bluargh, I can't allow this... someone like you brings the destruction of all the teachings of the predecessor of sorcery... answer me why have you sided with the few who chose the dark arts!!? Our master trusted you, he adored you to the point where I wasn't even acknowl— arrrrhhggggg!!!" His last words weren't even important to the eyes of his rival that took his life by sending a powerful burst of darkness that swallowed his body

[Leader Of The Dark Mages: Ark Zelonous

Power: Bearer Of Darkness

Standing: Occult Leader

Specialty: Chaos magic, Curse, Forbidden arts

Traits: Tactical, Fierce, Cruel]

"Take a breather, light bastard you're still too young to win against me, now where is she? I can sense her aura even though it's not that strong she's still alive~" His words were immediately put to a stop once he lost his guard enough for even a rock to collide in his head. Followed by a soft and soothing voice that called his name, he found himself in the scenery where his comrade was impaled to a large rock. Her body was crushed without any hope of being recovered even with his knowledge

*Cough* *Cough*

"Took you long enough, so how was it did you land the final blow? Argh, it seems you've accomplished your goal. The world is nearing its end, I don't care if im seen as a villain this world didn't accept us. We were discriminated against for our lack of mana and shunned once they saw us wield our weapons. I don't care whether you pursue the end of this world, to be honest, I was glad you asked me to accompany you on your journey,"

Till the end of her life she never once took her mask that covered the injuries created by a spell. Their last encounter with one another had her face covered in her hair whilst she gazes at the sunlight coming from the cracks of the ceiling. At her back was the corpse of thousands of mages, her surroundings that changed due to the spells she deflected. Seeing these numbers, he acknowledges her to be one of the few he made his connections with. Going so far as to mark her soul which made him tolerate their existence, along with granting her only wish

"If those lots were to interfere with my match against that bastard, then I would've suffered my very first defeat. Master of all weaponry, I shall give you a chance to achieve your dreams. Your soul wasn't destined to be reincarnated, because your soul was destined to rest for eternity. In my powers as the bearer of darkness, grant this soul the authority to be reincarnated. Hahaha, with this the two of us are even, let this moment be nothing but my glorious victory over the light. I never once asked for your assistance,"

With his limited time, he said goodbye to one of the few souls that he tolerated by his side, and once again the world ended. The cycle continues as his body is transported to the next Era where his next collision with the new incarnation of light. Now that he revisited that memory, he was able to understand why he was so hesitant to kill her. Even before she could've used her authority he was curious to know the reason for his actions. As a being known to kill he hesitated on her behalf,

__________________________

[Such a tearjerking moment! To think that my liege has held someone dearly after my disappearance. Now I understand why you could tolerate her attitude, you've marked her soul, and thats the thing you've relinquished from my body... when I requested to serve you for all eternity, I didn't think I was in a position where im comparable to the lady]

'Silence, or else I'll place you back on your necklace. It was already annoying that you requested me to show you my memories but... to think that I'll have to browse through several Eras till we reach that certain moment. Are you satisfied with your request? If so then shut your mouth! I'm already displeased with sharing a seat with a bunch of peasants. And now I was bothered by your irritating request to tell you everything about my encounter with Milady's past self,'

The two of them were stationed at a seating arrangement that was available to the public, due to the three of them being late. The few rooms that were equipped with a close-up camera, air ventilation, and many more privileges were taken away from their hands reach. Because of that Shuu and Harris had nowhere left but to recline in the seat given to the crowd. Once it finally came together the crowd became silent once they saw the host of today's event was a well-known awakened

"Isn't that the vice guild leader of Arcanium?"

"No way doesn't he only show up if something piqued his interest? I wonder if one of the few awakeners has caught the attention of this person?"

"Mr. Ron, we love you!!!" The cheers of the crowd were suddenly pointed at the man wearing a unique robe. That's both unique and eye-catching to the people, it wasn't a normal piece of clothing, Shuu can even feel the power within that piece of fabric. Most people weren't able to detect such an enormous amount of mana leaking throughout his environment. He notices it's the unique frequency that he knows very well, which gives rise to a smile on his face

[Vice Guild Leader: Ron Excellion

Power: Ice magic

Standing: Second in command

Specialty: Aoe magic, Support magic

Traits: Charismatic, Manipulative]

He walked into the center of the stage wherein the awakeners were awaiting his arrival. He didn't prolong his stay and only did as he was told, creating a few controllable golems with his magic. It was hostile at the gaze of the examinees without a single explanation they attacked. The absent-minded were knocked off bound of the stadium which caused them to fail the exam. After doing his given task he fled the scene and a timer appeared for the examinees to see. It was clear to everyone else that the examinations had finally begun

'Wait there wasn't even a single explanation... Oh, what should I do!? What should I— Harris!? What the hell is he yelling about now?'

"You can do this milady!!!" Harris cheered for her succession whilst her other servant simply waved his hand. Their cheers managed to get her back the composure she once lost in her confusion after she finally made her choice. She walked into the center, whilst the rest were trying their hardest to avoid any golems that came in their way

She was filled with confidence and when she was about to question her talent she remembered her training. Carrying such a large and noticeable case within her back, the crowd was curious why such a person would arrive at the center. Instead of avoiding an obstacle, she slammed the case into the ground causing a loud noise that caught the attention of the golems

[System: Your actions have gained the attention of the ice golems at your location. This is only a test they wouldn't harm you to the point of being crippled. Rest assured you're still going to face a powerful blow]

They surrounded every exit that she could've used before all of them jumped at the same time as the other. One by one, they landed on their target, the crowd had already cast their judgment that she failed. Yet they were wrong, by the second they landed on their target they saw a metal rod sticking out of her case. It blocked the impact of the golems and retaliated in such a short time by sending a powerful surge of mana into her surrounding areas

[System: The player Luna Aldea has activated the skill Discharge, which sends out a powerful explosion of mana that knocks everything at a point-blank range]

"Just like how we practice,"

She took a deep breath before making her move, the crowd was bewildered by what they were witnessing. The examiner they thought was crushed managed to escape without a single scratch, but what made her more intriguing was due to wielding multiple sets of weaponry. The large case she brought held dozens of weapons waiting for their moment, the case attached itself to her back

She started her fight by sending out the chains that latched onto the arms and legs of her opponents. She used it as a stepping stone to fling her body into the air and threw her spear at one of their heads. Once she landed on the back of one of her foes, she immediately retrieved her chains and landed on the ground. With the force she harnesses along with the strengthening of her bones she violently throws her opponent after injecting her body with the right amount of mana. She unsheathed her blade to the golem that she threw which knocked the others that tried their best to knock her off the stadium

"Shuu how was that!!? Did I do well on my test!?" After she quickly disposed of her opponents she yelled at the top of her lungs and pointed her gaze in his direction. She has a huge and beaming smile and manages to amuse the bearer of darkness for him to smile. Her effort that day caught the attention of the major guilds, but what lies at the end of her examination has yet to arrive
