Kakashi’s perspective
The academy trials are on the way.
Many of the children in the Star will attend the trials that will select each candidate into their respective classes.
“Are you attending the party, Kakashi?” A girl whom I have known for a while asked me.
“Are you?”
Her name was Christina, Christina Star.
She is the first princess of the star kingdom and the first in line to succeed the throne.
Her sister, Chloe, the second daughter of the king and sister of Christina also asked.
My decision hasn’t been made yet but I was considering going there.
The academy itself has many benefits of which I could benefit from.
One, they offer money which is gained from school tasks, special examinations, and contributions of society.
It is also the government school meaning no powerful person could reject a reject when a relative of theirs attends.
In short words: the school protects their students from being forced out of the school.
People in the past had tried to isolate their children from the outside world, because of their own selfish interest.
The school was designed this way in hopes of building better character where the children who attend can build a better future.
They will lead society in the future, and in hopes of protecting all the things they loved: this school was made.
The first king was the person who made this rule and built this school.
Well, half of it.
Each nation has a royal academy where the noble children attend.
Then, after a year and six months of studying they are sent to the United Nations Academy.
That is where they will continue their studies for three more years.
So, in perspective.
We usually start from our early elevens but end at our late fifteens.
Then we are sent into the world to figure out where we want to be in the future.
“I am not sure… But I think I will attend.”
“I think that will depend on whether you pass the test or not. Nevertheless, I think you will do well. Smart and strength will prove that.”
“She is right, you know.” Someone said.
He laid on the pillar facing us.
“What are you doing here, Condo?”
Condo, the captain of the strike force in the royal academy.
He is also seen as the playboy because of his flirting personality and his ability to win girls over.
He is very charming and attractive.
The history books have it that he had many relationships with many different ladies.
“Wow! It is interesting to see you here,” said Christina.
“Is it now. Didn’t know you have a thing for me. Well, what can I say. I am that charming!” Condo said, blessing himself with thoughts he just imagined in his mind and spoke it.
“Ew! I’d rather die than get with you.”
“Awch, that hurts didn’t it.”
“Only in your dreams. Anyways, I have a date I have to catch up to. Eigi, have a nice day without her being around.”
“Ah!? What do you mean?”
“Nothing.”
I stared downstairs trying to get my mind off the scene happening right in front of me.
I was another boy, he was walking around the castle observing the castle intently.
It seems like he had never seen a castle before.
I mean, I can understand why.
The first time I first saw this castle I thought everybody in the kingdom could live here.
The castle is big and has a lot of rooms, the colours which it is painted in are very pretty too; white, gold and blue.
“Who is that boy?” Chloe asked looking at me.
“I have no idea.”
The boy seemed slightly older than us.
Maybe, a year and months couldn’t be older than that.
He also had brown hair and gold eyes.
He looked very attractive too, more than Condo.
“That is Max Tsukasa. He is a foreigner from another kingdom. I don’t know much but my father accepted him when he offered some information about some people. Apart from that, I don’t know much else.” Christina explained the origins of the boy.
“He does look familiar but I can’t put my mind to it.” I stared at him again.
“Tsukasa huh? Where have I heard that?”
“Probably from a source,” Eigi offered.
“A source?”
“You know, a source where you can find people you are looking by search their names with a search magic.
Isn’t that mans name Tsumisa.
“But that is two different names, how are they related?”
“Well. The two names originated from the ancestor who divided them by giving them two different identities. That was how siblings were identified five hundred years ago.” Said Eigi.
He looks familiar but he seems mostly innocent, not bad innocent, just innocent in some way.
Lets check something.
I activated my star eyes, I then stared at the boy in hopes of viewing his mana signature.
“Huh! That’s weird, nothing is coming up.”
“What is up?”
“The boy over there, there is nothing coming from him. It is as if he has no mana… But that is impossible.” I stated.
“There is always a chance that he covered his mana signatures, I mean it is not like it is impossible, Eigi added.
“Won’t that take a decade to master. Apart from the first king and the transcendents, only a few people have gained the ability to hide their mana signature.” Christina mentioned.
“I am fairly sure that he can hide is abilities. It is not just the hiding mana stuff, most of the abilities he processes have been lowered.”
“Is he a fool? Willing you r enemy to gain an opportunity is just dumb.”
“Actually, if you are smart and plan everything perfectly. You can execute a plan which allows your enemies to have a bit of an advantage then when the time is right, you execute the plan by getting them off guard.”
“I’m guessing he isn’t going to try hard to get a high score on the test, he will just score the good enough mark to get himself in.”
“Maybe, but we don’t know his intentions. I think it will be better for us to study him from a distance. That is the best way to go about this,” Eigi offered us an advise.
“Even if we went about it that way, if he decides to act… We won’t be able to stop him,” Christina said.
“I don’t think he will act. The council members are the people we should be worried about, since dad didn’t agree on their project, they will try to force his hand.”
The scientific tools.
The council members wanted to start a project where knights, guards, and soldiers will receive scientific tools that will enhance their abilities.
The main project seems to be on the soul eyes and the spring.
Since the stars of mine were theirs, they will try to either recruit me into their side.
“Anyway, Christina. We need to sleep, we have the meeting with father early in the morning right?”
“Oh, yes. Sorry, but we have to go.”
“Alright, good night.”
“Good night.”
“Have a nice night.”
Both Eigi and I walked from the castle and into our respective rooms.
“The Royal Academy.”
“Good night, mom… dad…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning, the castle bells began ringing early in the morning.
That means, something bad has happened in the castle.
I rushed there as fast as possible….
“What happened?” Eigi asked.
Looks like he had already got there before I did.
“Princess Christina and Princess Chloe have been kidnapped. it was when they got into the wrong carriage. Sir. Alfred and his subordinate Condo are at fault here but we are all getting into trouble.” A guard by the castle gate answered.
“Magic search…” The magic circle appeared under Eigi feet.
The spread has mana in about 10 kilometres from where we stood.
But his faces show no sign of success.
“Eigi goes to the south path and I will search the north path. If you find anything, shoot and fire ball from that destination.”
Eigi nodded and started running there.
I also took pace and rushed to the north path.
