Everyone was present at the dining table.
From most left My Mother was seated,
then Father, Mike, Marie, Anna, and the twins were seated on the front side.
Sophie, August, Corey, chase, me, Samantha and Theoder were seated on the other side.
.
Everyone was waiting for Julia to say something.
"Since everyone has freshened up let's start with proper introductions", Julia said," Since everyone knows me and Stephan, let's skip our introduction, now, besides my husband, there is Mike Brown, Count of Flaris City and his wife and daughter Maria and Anna respectively.", Julia signalled to Count Mike to continue.
"Hello everyone, don't be tense around me and Maria, I once used to be an adventurer with Julia here along with Sophia there", he said pointing to a young-looking 29year old lady, " and also a supreme mage of wood magicules and high mage of fire magicules. My wife here has Light magic and is also a supreme magic mage. My daughter Anna is our pride and is of 12years this year. She could sometimes be fierce but she is a good kid. Thank you for having us." He said, earning a glare from Anna.
Mike had red hair, white skin and had a small beard giving him a gentleman look while Maria had black hair with a bright face. She had a flat chest but everything else was good.
"Oh, so she will be taking part in the ceremony this year and also enrolling in the Royal Academy?", asked Stephan
"Yes, uncle I will be taking the exam next month", answered Anna.
"I will be next, I am August Clementine, an adventurer of Platinum rank and my wife here is Sophie Clementine a supreme mage in unorthodox magic 'glass'.Our daughters Linda and Amanda are sitting at the corner have each dark and light attributes. Linda just became 7 years old and Amanda is going to be 8 this year", he paused a bit before speaking again, "We also have one more daughter of 11 year old, her name is Katherine. She is an adventurer like us and has been travelling with us for the last 2years. Right now She is practising at the royal palace to prepare for the ceremony".He said with a smile that also had a tinge of regret in it.
Looks like it wasn't their choice to send her there.
Linda had white bob cut hair and a white dress while Amanda had black hair bob cut with a black dress
"We are instructors of Corey and Chase, Samantha The red mage, a high mage at the royal academy and Theoder a former adventurer of gold rank who teaches the first batch of soldiers at the royal army.", said Samantha in a slightly nervous tone.
"I am Corey Eros, son of Stephan Eros and Julie Eros", said Corey
"I am Chase Eros, son of Stephan Eros and Julie Eros", said Chase
"I am Light eros, son of Stephan Eros and Julie Eros", I said
"Mike and Sophie are brothers and sisters, and we were former adventurers of the same party, Mike and Maria will be leaving with Anna after 2 weeks but Sophie will be staying at our home from now on for an indefinite time. August will be leaving day after tomorrow for some work and will return next month. August and Sophie will be helping the kids out to practice along with Samantha and Theoder.", said Julia.
"Make sure you guys get along with each other", she said while looking at all the kids present there.

11:30 PM
I was gazing at the stars on the roof.
"I wonder if we are in the same dimension and you are somewhere out there. Elain...Aisha", I whispered in a low voice.
"Today's day has been a bit hectic...now then...how should I prepare for the future?", I kept mumbling, "The easiest way is to go to the demon dimension and search at Cronos Tower for hints at dimension magic"
"What are you doing here?", I heard a female sound coming from the rooftop entrance
"Just wondering, what should I do next", I replied
"I heard", said the young lady
"What did you hear?", I replied
"That your aura level is too low and your mana level is even worse," said Anna
"Are you going to mock me?"
"Not really, I worked hard even though I didn't have any talent. Maybe you can do something too. I heard you were hard-working so don't give up. If you need any help then this onee-san will help you out"
"so its pity"
"that...that isn't true!I am not pityi-" she stuttered a bit but I cut her off
"It's okay, I am strong so I will be fine. I have my plans for the future.", I said
"Let's go", I said, "It's time for kids to sleep or the demon king will...awaaah... come to eat us", I said taking a yawn and stretching a bit.
"hehe", she giggled a bit before following me back down.

Next Morning
8:00 AM
As I walked towards the training area I heard an argument breaking out.
"Pipsqueaks let me show you how it's done, both of you come at me with your best", said Anna in a fierce tone.
Looks like she is a bit angry.
"Let's do it, Corey, I wanna see how much those thin arms can do", said Chase smirking.
I walked beside Linda and asked, "What happened?"
Linda said in a monotonous voice, "They provoked Cousin, calling her a weakling and they don't need her help to improve."
"So they are testing the difference between themselves and someone within their 'defeatable' range, uh", I said
"Robert, bring some chairs", I said to Robert
He immediately bought some as if waiting for that command
'oi oi where did you bring that from?' I almost spat out those words.
We sat at the chairs as the three children were taking their position for their 'mini-game'.
.
'Let's begin'
I closed my eyes then said'[Absolute Concentration mana circuit:God's eyes]' and slowly opened my eyes
.
Anna enhanced her body and covered her fist in fire
.
She channelled a few magicules and they formed three revolving red translucent shields around herself
.
She applied some amount of magicules below her feet
.
She created around 8 fast-rotating shurikens that revolved around her in a bit larger radius than her shield
.
Corey prepared By having 12 spheres hovering in the air and Each a bit denser than last time
Chase applied aura to his whole body evenly.
'so they are not going all out from the beginning', I thought looking at the kids' brawl
.
Both Chase and Anna ran towards each other and Corey surrounded 6 Spheres protecting Chase and 6 attacking Anna
.
The spheres hit the shurikens each taking out one, leaving 2 shurikens in the end.
.
Chase ran towards the gap created by the outcome and attacked one of the shields.
The shield cracked but didn't break.
meanwhile, Anna dissolved her cracked shield at the exact moment and punched at Chase at the exact moment.
.
Corey covered the punch area by creating 2 shields from the Sphere.
both the shield broke from the punch.
Corey sneaked another sphere from behind and attacked Anna while she was focusing on Chase
.
Chase extra hardened his front to brace the impact and prepare for the next move
Anna cast invisibility on one shuriken and threw at Corey while another divided into two.
She joined the other two shields, removing the gap from which the spheres were coming.
She then changed the target from his head to his stomach within a blink.
.
The Shuriken hit Corey and disrupted his mana flow knocking him out
The shield stopped the water sphere.
Anna knocked out Chase by a gut punch
.
Anna won
'honeslty my brothers should stop playing the same tactic of hitting from behind and try to get powerful enough to face from front', I sighed shaking my head,' well at least they are using their brain most of the times'
"Did they plan from the beginning or there synchronisation is just that great?", Amanda asked looking at me
"Both", I answered.
Amanda looked at them again with a bit of admiration in her gaze.
.
Anna was smirking at my brothers who were lying on the floor. They looked a bit irritated at the loss.
"All right, you guys did good, try again in another 100 years and you might last longer", she said with the same smirk on her face.
"Next time we won't lose", declared Corey and then they stood up and moved towards us.
Amanda stood up preparing her magic wand and chanting something'[Light Heal]', she then put the wand in their direction.
A light came in their direction and went. Then they started healing slowly.
It would take half a minute to complete at this level I guess.
.
[Author's note: Information dumps here... although I feel they are necessary, you can skip if you want]
There are various ways a magic or aura user applies magicules in his everyday life.
The most common way is to chant.
Chanting is not necessary in the general case at all but you need above 75%concentration and you must know what you want magicules to do both mentally, physically and spiritually to do chantless magic.
Without a chant, if the concentration is not at 100% its power decreases by a fraction of 5% and further decreases as concentration decreases.
The other way is readymade spells which are present in an Artifact..mainly circles and runes.
There are unorthodox magic users present of various types which cannot be categorised either in magic or aura.
Examples would be necromancy, glass magic, pearl magic, spirit magic, summoning magic, space Magic, etc
There are various ways of enhancing magic and aura chants and each enhancement may or may not produce new or desired results.
A collection of chants is known as mantras which can also be called great spells.
Each great spell can cause drastic changes in surrounding from rain to destruction anything is possible.
The spells like rain and other non-harmful spells are property of Kingdom and differ due to racial differences, they also require high understanding, control and magicule channelling to perform.
The spells that cause a large amount of distractions are known as forbidden spells and have the same property as non-lethal spells except they are lethal. Hence, they are forbidden to use by anyone.
But at the higher hierarchy, there are always mages with one or two forbidden spells in their arsenal.
Also, there are non-harmful but stagnant spells like time dilation which are forbidden for the general public without authorisation but available at higher levels.
