Light academy

The reason for Lucas and Elijah's hate was because of their past.

When Lucas was still five, he found Elijah bullying a kid around their age, so he rescued the kid from Elijah's hands by bitting up Elijah.

To his surprise, after saving the kid, he didn't get any thanks, but instead the kid blamed him and said his family was going to suffer because Lucas saved him.

The reason was because Elijah is the rulers son. Lance village had a ruler, and that ruler was the strongest person in the whole village. Almost everything he said goes in the village and no one dared disobey his orders.

Knowing the amount of power Elijah's father had in the village, Elijah could do anything he wanted and no one would stop him from doing it.

All except Lucas, after that day Elijah got beat up by Lucas, he had loathed Lucas, although he didn't tell his dad that he got beat up by Lucas due to the hate he had for Lucas, he planned on crippling him in the annual class competition.

............

"Just because you have a grade eight Mana spirit, you think you're above everyone here, step aside let me show you what real talent is" just as Elijah said this, he released his Mana spirit and to everyone's surprise, it was demon fang, a grade ten Mana spirit.

............

Mana spirits came in different forms, some in weapon forms others in beast forms while some even come in the form of natural things like mountains or oceans.

Elijah's Mana spirit, demon fang is a beast type Mana spirit, it has the appearance of a bat, a giant bat with long fangs.

"Grade ten Mana spirit!", "It's really a grade ten Mana spirit" everyone present began saying,

Even Lucas was surprised seeing the grade ten Mana spirit, demon fang.

While everyone was still focused at the grade ten Mana spirit before them, a man who looked like he was in his fifties suddenly approached Elijah.

"pri pri principal!" The administrator suddenly shouted as he quickly stood up from his chair and bowed in respect.

"It's the principal!", "I can't believe I'm seeing him in person" the children in the surroundings began saying

'But why is he hear in person?' This was the question that were in all of their heads.

"How would you like to be my disciple?"the principal said as he approached Elijah

"Disciple?", "The principal has never asked anyone to be his disciple before" whispers could be heard as the children began talking within themselves.

In the whole of light academy's twenty five years history, no one has ever had a grade ten Mana spirit before, so the principal asking Elijah to be his disciple was to be expected.

"Disciple greets master" Elijah quickly said as he bowed his head and greeted the principal,

The principal smiled hearing Elijah's response, "come with me Elijah" he said as he gestured Elijah to follow him using his hands.

In the whole of Lance village, the principal can be said to be the only one who can rival Elijah's dad in terms of strength, and is even beyond Elijah's dad in terms of wisdom, so when this opportunity came, Elijah quickly grabbed it.

Before Elijah left with the principal, he sent a quick smirk at Lucas who was staring at everything that just happened.

"A grade ten Mana spirit and the disciple of the principal, we already know who's winning the first year class competition" Lucas heard someone said from the crowd of children that were gathered in the academy square watching everything that just happened, and he secretly smiled to himself. And then he whispered something so low that not even someone who was right in front of him could hear.

The truth about twin Mana spirits is, a person with grade five twin Mana spirits can be comparable to someone with a grade ten Mana spirit, so if he had twin grade eight Mana spirits, he could be compared to those with S rank Mana spirit, but in his case he had a grade eight and and an unknown Mana spirit and with the aura his other Mana spirit emanated when it formed, it already surpassed that of the grade ten Mana spirit demon fang, so no matter the help Elijah got from anyone, Lucas knew that he would always surpass Elijah.

............

After Elijah, no one else had a grade ten Mana spirit, although a boy named grey had a grade eight Mana spirit like Lucas, but it was an average grade eight Mana spirit while Lucas had a high grade eight Mana spirit.

Everyone else had grade six and seven Mana spirits and some had grade five.

The day went by smoothly and a total of sixty students were admitted into light academy's 1st year class.

They were told to resume school the next day and they all met up with their parents who were waiting for them in the waiting area of the academy.

...........

Night slowly passed and the it was replaced by the first rays of sunshine, it was Lucas's first day as a first class student in Light academy.

There was a total of eight classes in light academy, the first year had three classes, the second year also had three while the third year had only two, the reason being the requirements to get into the third year was too hard to fulfill, so the classes were not as many as that of the first and second year.

Lucas's was in first year class two, and so was Elijah, but Lucas didn't know this yet.

..............

Going through the gates of light academy, Lucas went into his class and got a seat at the back.

Not too long after he came into the class, Elijah walked in too with three people following him, among these three, Lucas recognized one to be grey, the person who also had a grade eight Mana spirit like him, he didn't know who the remaining two people were but he was sure that their Mana spirits weren't low.

Elijah and his goons sat down at the middle row, but when he noticed Lucas, he sent him a cold glare and then he took his seat.

Their class master walked into the class and then he introduced himself, he was a man in his thirties and his name was Rick.

"Our lesson for today is going to be converting spiritual energy into Mana core" Rick paused to see everyone's reaction before he continued " converting spiritual energy into Mana core is the first step to becoming a warrior , without converting spiritual energy to Mana core, it is impossible for one to become a strong warrior, converting spiritual energy to Mana core can only become possible after one awakens their Mana spirit, those with high grade Mana spirits take less time to convert spiritual energy to Mana than those with lower grade Mana spirits, taking myself as example, I have a grade seven Mana spirit and it took me two months to convert spiritual energy into Mana core, but if someone with a grade ten Mana spirit were to try this, it would take them one to two weeks" just as Rick said this, loud gasps began coming out of the children's mouths as their attention turned towards Elijah, " when spiritual energy is converted into Mana core, then one can start cultivating, when successful in turning spiritual energy into Mana core the next step of becoming a warrior would be reaching first order of the white Mana core, there are ten orders in the white Mana core, if one can successfully convert spiritual energy into Mana core, then your next goal would be to breakthrough into first order and after breaking through into first order, only then can you get your first battle skill from your Mana spirit, the higher your Mana spirit grade, the stronger your battle skill, not only this, breaking through into first order also means one would be able to get their Mana spirit ability, unlike battle skills which would be gotten again after reaching fifth order of the white core, Mana spirit ability can only be gotten once, all Mana spirits have their own different ability, mine is strengthening, thanks to my Mana spirit, I have the ability to strengthen my attacks and also myself, let me demonstrate" Rick said as he left were he was standing and got close to a wall.

He punched the wall and left a fist sized hole where he punched.

Shock could be seen on everyone's faces as they saw the fist sized hole left by Rick on the wall, in their world this was a small feat to accomplish, even someone at first order of the white core could accomplish this, but what actually shocked them was that Rick didn't apply Mana to his hands before doing this, this was pure physical strength, if a first order wanted to accomplish this feat, they had to apply Mana in their hands before punching the wall.

After seeing their faces, with a satisfied look on his face he continued, "this is a demonstration of what Mana spirit ability is" Rick finally concluded.

...…..........

After that demonstration, Rick continued his teachings.

After seeing that demonstration, Lucas finally came to a conclusion, although people in this world were stronger than people in his former world, in terms of physical strength, they weren't.

That night, when Lucas started his cultivation, not more than an hour passed before he was finally able to convert spiritual energy into Mana core.

Even for people with S rank Mana spirit grade, this was not possible, it would at least take them a day.

The only reason Lucas was able to do this was because he had been converting spiritual energy into Mana core ever since he was two, although Rick said it was impossible to convert spiritual energy into Mana core when one had not awakened their Mana spirit, Lucas found a way to do it, although he wasn't able to fully accomplish it when he had not awakened his Mana spirit ,but now that he had his Mana spirits with him, he could finally convert spiritual energy into Mana core at a faster pace.

Knowing that he had succeeded in converting spiritual energy into Mana core, he began overflowed with joy, but he hadn't accomplished his actual goal yet, and that was breaking through into the first order of the white core.

With his speed, he estimated that he would breakthrough into first order in the following two days.

With the speed Mana was being taken into his body, he finally understood what kind of terrifying talent he had.

Even someone with grade ten Mana spirit would need at least a month in order to breakthrough into first order after converting spiritual energy into Mana core, but he needed only two days.

.…..........

Time slowly went by and in the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

Lucas didn't do anything important, except going to the academy and when he came back, he would cultivate.

The next day, after coming back from the academy, he went straight to cultivating.

After some hours of cultivating, Lucas's Mana core which was a shade of gold and white finally turned into complete white, at this moment, he knew that he had broken through into the first order.

"Finally, first order of the white core!" Lucas said to no one in particular.

The joy Lucas was feeling at this moment was more than what he felt when he finally converted spiritual energy into Mana core.

The reason was because reaching the first order came with so many benefits, like his first battle skill and his Mana spirit ability, in Lucas's case, since he had twin Mana spirits, that means he would also have two abilities from his two Mana spirits.

Authors note:
