Black Star
First Arc: THE LEGACY OF SHIPPAI SURU
"Hey Nero do you feel like playing wizard?"
"I'd love to, Fumiko"
Fumiko, a boy who is very bright and acts out of emotion a lot and Nero the quiet guy who always acts very thoughtfully are best friends. Even if you don't see it on Fumiko's face, he is very smart and would probably be one of the smartest if he was allowed to go to a school, but Nero was at least as intelligent. Fumiko, who is very well trained, tries to put Nero out of action with a quick attack, but although Nero cannot keep up with his speed, he is strong enough to parry his attack. Nero always holds his sword with only one hand, so he always has one hand free with which he gets control and stability. Fumiko, on the other hand, holds his sword with two hands, so his attacks have more penetrating power.
"How can he be so damn fast?" Nero thinks to himself, barely keeping up. I can't keep this up much longer, I need something to defeat him directly. Fumiko, who has trained a lot in endurance, is clearly superior in this fight. Now Nero attacks and tries to take away Fumiko's speed with punches, because Nero brings Fumiko down to his level and with his well thought out punches he has a clear advantage. Now Fumiko jumps at him and wants to hit him with full force, but Nero uses his free hand to hold Fumiko's sword and drops his sword and hits Fumiko with his fist.
"Dinner is ready" (attendant).
"Thank you mama" (Nero)
"Oh man must be that" (Fumiko).
The other children are looking forward to eating. There was soup.
"Yayyyy" (shouts the crowd).
The children live in an orphanage for magic less children where they live until the age of when they have to leave the orphanage and are on their own. Mokoto founded the orphanage 50 years ago so that children born without magic (miscarriages) would not be executed but given the opportunity to grow up until they could take care of themselves.
"How are you my Fumi?"(Lara)
"I'm fine sweet Lara"(Fumiko).
Lara is Fumiko's girlfriend in the orphanage. They have been a couple for as long as they can remember. Fumiko cares a lot about Lara.
At that time she did not know that this was her last day at this orphanage.
"Here is the agreed amount, we will take her with us" (unknown)
"Fumiko when we grow up we have to get married " (Lara)
"I am a man of my words and never break a promise. Remember that" (Fumiko)
"Hey, Nero and Fumiko, would you like to have a meal contest?" (Lara)
"Absolutely " (Nero and Fumiko)

Fumiko and Nero were fast and clever but Lara is unbeatable at eating.
"Oh dear, we always have to lose" (Fumiko and Nero).
She shook his hand.
"So it is official now we demand the the goods" (unknown)
"Lara come on please Lara come on now!" (attendant)
Lara's Point of View
What does she want from me now? I am very tired and want to go to sleep now. I wish I could become so strong one day that I could take on Fumiko and Nero without any problems, but I'm just a weak little girl. What can I do against two boys who are physically very superior to me.
"Lara, will you come now, for goodness sake?"
What does she want from me.
Who is this big man dressed in black and what does he want from me. My hand hurts, why is he grabbing my hand like that? I'd better scream. It's no use, the person I thought was my mother is laughing at me what is happening.
Lara's Point of View End
"Stop struggling. I won't hurt you don't worry" (unknown)
"HAHAHAGAGA! You're coming to Royale Academy every kid's dream! YOU ARE THE FUTURE OF THE KINGDOM OF Venus" (attendant).
The Royale Academy is a place where the strongest young people or nobles train and study to become stronger. Even if you have a lot of potential to become something special it is not enough to be accepted at the school you also have to be very rich. Only century talents have the honour to be scouted and go to school for free. No one who graduated from Royale Academy did not become noble.
"You were scouted kid because you have extremely special magic skills" (scout of the Royale Academy).
This was always Lara's dream, secretly she always thought the world revolved around her and that she was the centre of the earth.
Fumiko, who had been following Lara, watched and was very shocked by Lara's departure.
"SHIT, NOW I HAVE TO BECOME THE STRONGEST. I don't begrudge you that, Lara, but don't think that you will ever be stronger than me. I will always be stronger than you and I promise that and I never break my promises!" (Fumiko)
"Keep on dreaming" (Lara)
ONE DAY LATER
FUMIKO'S POINT OF VIEW
I was talking big yesterday, but how can I ever become stronger than Lara? If she has magic, it's hopeless from the first second anyway. I can train as much as I want, it won't do any good anyway with my speed I can't even beat Nero and he has no magic. From today on I will get up every day at 6 o'clock to train.
Fumiko's point of view End
"Nero it's half past four and you're already outside what's going on?"
"I had the same thought as you Fumiko".
They trained together for 5 hours until Mokoto came to watch them.
Mokoto is the first to come into the world without magic and survive. He was placed in a beautifully protected basket in a forest and thrown into the river instead of being killed. But mokoto was lucky, a village took him in and he survived. It was only when he was 10 years old that they realised he had no magic. No one knows for sure how they found it out this late, except that he ran away and week later he came back and killed everyone in the village.
"BOYS ON BOYS" (Mokoto).
"YES SIR" (Fumiko and Nero).
Fumiko and Nero had a lot of respect for him because of his charisma.
"I saw your efforts and decided to teach you.
Although I don't have any magic, I survived and made a name for myself and do you know why?" (Mokoto)
"No sir" (Fumiko and Nero).
"I had acquired powers, powers so strong that they could wipe out entire villages even though I have no magic, but before I share them with you I want to give you something sensible to wear, I can't have my students training in black jumpers and t-shirts" (Mokoto)
We live in the Kingdom Venus there are other kingdoms, but they are small and irrelevant. In the kingdom of Venus there is a guild system.
royal guild (the guild subordinate to the king)
gold guild
silver guild
bronze guild
knights guild
6th Peasants Guild
7th Combat Guild
8th Baby Guild
There is a King of Wizards, but this is just a title given to the strongest warrior of the Royale Guild (so far only people from the Royale Academy have made it this far).
There are 7 types of magic in the world.
Light magic
Dark magic
Earth magic
Water Magic
Fire Magic
Air magic
Mystic magic (which can be anything)
Normal Wizards make their money with tasks like finding someone, killing criminals or something like babysitting. These tasks can be found in magic discovery offices, there you can also find bigger tasks like conquering certain levels in dungeons. The guild tasks. Tournaments are also organised as a source of money for the king and to see how strong the warriors are and to determine the royal guild.
"SIGN THE CONTRACT BOYS" (Mokoto)
The contract said: whoever fails the method will be killed.
Nero and Fumiko signed immediately their greed for power triumphed.
Nero's point of view
It's far too risky to sign this contract here, I'll be killed by mokoto himself if I know about the secret but still fail, but what's the point of living as a weak wretch who can't get anything done, I'd rather die. When we *****arrived***** in Venus Town, we wanted to buy some clothes. Fumiko and I both decided on a white T-shirt and shorts. We were looked at very strangely by everyone, I don't know what they wanted from us, then I heard it
-what are losers doing in this village
-They should have been killed
-These bastards are scu..
He hadn't even finished his sentence before Mokoto was fed up and challenged the guy.
If they are, no, if I am scum, then come and defeat me in a fight here in the street! Those were his words I was shocked, but I think Fumiko admired him for it. But when I saw what happened next I could hardly believe my eyes. Mokoto, no matter how strong he is, can never reach the speed of a young man, but since he held the sword in his hands he became so fast that it was beyond words. He spun around his opponent like a tornado. Although that should have turned him into sushi, he hardly got any scratches but he was unconscious. unbelievably I can't wait to become as strong as him. The man didn't even get to use his magic, unbelievable. We went home peacefully and respected.
End Nero's point of view
"EVERYONE WITHOUT MAGIC HAS YING YANG IN THEIR HEART THAT IS WHAT MAKES THEM MAGICLESS! SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE YING YANG IN THEIR HEART AUTOMATICALLY HAS MAGIC, BUT IF THEY USE THIS YING YANG OFTEN IT SHORTENS THEIR LIFESPAN. YOU CAN SURRENDER ANIMALS OR WEAPONS BUT BEWARE IT CAN ALSO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF YOUR BODY" (Mokoto).
"I hope I get an ANIMAL BEAST" (Fumiko)
"Now find your inner Ying Yang" (Mokoto)
Nero has done very well, but Fumiko can't get it right. Like a natural, Nero manages it at the first go.
"Wow incredible you have summoned an ANIMAL Beast you are going to achieve something Nero"(Mokoto).
Fumiko became more and more nervous as he realised that he will not survive this if he fails now. He will die. His mind was full of fear, but he knew he just had to pull himself together. When nothing came after 10 minutes, Mokoto's nerves were at the end.
"I don't need this Ying Yang shit anyway, it's not that strong" (Fumiko).
"You filthy disrespectful child I'll teach you manners!" (Mokoto)
He took off his cloak and got ready to fight. Nero considered helping Fumiko but realised that Fumiko would not forgive him and might commit suicide afterwards, if he would help him now.
"I guess he's on his own now" (Nero) Fumiko jumped towards Mokoto Mokoto summoned his sword very quickly.
"Farewell Fumiko" (Mokoto).
His sword was almost already gone when he noticed Fumiko behind him and he made an attack that would have put 10 holes in Fumiko's stomach if he hadn't dodged them all.
"What's up old man, why don't you hit something. Time for your pension you victim" (Fumiko)
He grabbed the wooden sword that was still lying on the floor from the fight with Nero yesterday and rushed towards him and hit Mokoto.
"You little child, this is a wooden sword, you won't break me with it".
Fumiko who can keep up with Mokoto's super speed without problems tried again to go deep inside himself and awaken his ying yang with all his strength and there it happened his arm was turned into a stick.
"Hahahaha you little brat the Ying Yang has taken possession of your body you are no good come on I don't even fight back hit with full force" (Mokoto)
Fumiko did not miss the chance and was within half a second behind Mokoto. Mokoto fell to the ground. Fumiko had won.
