[Almon Duke Castle]Diana was looking at the golden pearl which she is holding in her hand as she look at her surrounding.
It was a her room were see had been leaving since her childhood. There is no doubt about it. But still she could not believe. What had happened with her and how she had travelled thousands of kilometres in seconds. Only prove of what she had witnessed is the golden pearl in her hand and put it aside in her spiral ring"Until I find a magic user with dual attributes of time and s.p.a.ce. I can only keep it with me"thought Diana as she look at the scene outside the window of her room and look at the rising sun as she felt nostalgic."It"s been nearly three months I have left this place but it seems like it"s has been years"as she remembered her Journey towards Devil Peak. She witnessed many dead bodies and hazardous climate and non stop walking"If I don"t have absolute zero body may be I also would have died like other"muttered Diana look at the sun.

[Chronos Magic Academy]
"So you too wake up so early in the morning to just take a wake. Really it a suprise that among the junior their are guys like you specify a Magic users who are willing to walk up so early"said Regas.
"Exactly I am a battle mage not a magic users"reply Kai.
"Ah..."
Hearing that everyone had doubts specially because they never heard anyone from basic course cla.s.ses to breakthrough to become battle mage this year.
Suddenly they start to remember that they have heard from instructor that a new students have join their academy who is already a battle mage and most amazing thing and shocking thing was that he was directly a.s.signed to final year due to his real cultivation being peak of magic warrior.
Final year of Battle Mage branch only have them as students n.o.body else had made breakthrough to 9th level of magic warrior currently and to think a newbie is already a.s.signed to final year. Just yesterday they were thinking of challenging the newbie to a duel to see his ability but he never showed up before them. Later Instructor told them that Headmaster wanted to talk to him about something and he will not be present today.
Hearing that they have ever greater expectations and their desire to fight him grow. They really wanted to test that kind of guy is the newbie to get attention of Headmaster.
Every had blank expression on their face beside Lizel who was trying to see through Kai and Tylon who was looking at Kai like he was looking at a miracle as his whole body trembled as he asked Kai.
"Are... You.. really... Kai. Kai.. who.. vanished...11years old"
Hearing someone unknown asking such a question. Kai look at Tylon again.
"He look familiar and don"t remember meeting anybody who look like him"thought Kai.
"It"s me Kai. Don"t you remember, one the day of potential test. I was one of the children from special list aside from Alina. I am from the same village as you"
"Oh!"Kai sized up Tylon and found his found that he is already at peak of Magic Warrior stage and found other are same while Lizel is half step magic knight stage experts.
"How did you because a peak magic warrior stage expert so fast".
"It"s before I received help from Senior Lizel and have joined her Dukedom".
"That"s right Kai. He and his family are now citizens of Oman Empire and he is my subordinate"said Lizel with a smile.
Hearing that Kai look at Lizel with a smile"so which Dukedom do you belong"
"Grawn Dukedom. My father is Duke Seldon Grawn who rule over the North East and peru plains of Oman Empire".
Kai nodded. He also have heard from his grandfather that our Kingdom share western borders with Grawn Dukedom of Oman Empire and Grawn Dukedom is also second largest,most influential and weakest Dukedom of Oman Empire in personal military power. He was also business partner of Duke William and founder of second largest merchant group in the continent. He remained that Duke Grawn have send a messenger to Royal City 15days ago for trade rights to buy and sell magic crops.Kai was also present that time and attained the messenger and wanted to form a new trade contact with Buraford Kingdom so he left Kaya to take care of it.
Before he had left for examination. Kaya had returned and told him that Seldon was smart negotiator and bold with many personal connection but his personal strength is very weak compare to other Duke"s. His current cultivation is just seconds stage of magic champion. Well Kaya after many rounds of discussion and negotiation with this strong negotiator, finally signed the contract to sell the magic crop of D grade and lower at same price as they are doing with Fastasia group and they will be exchanged it for refined iron and coal on base market price which will be delivered every 15days. The account will be determined by ammount of exchange done.
Kai look at Lizel"So you are here to head hunt for talent and increase the strength of your Dukedom"
Lizel shaked her head"You can say that but it is not the real cause. You see expert like Tylon mostly die if they don"t find any powerful force backing them before they graduate"
Everyone had a serious expression on hearing Lizel as she speak in serious voice
"It"s struggle due to struggle of forces of continent. After Tylon graduate, he will be a magic knight who can make a great impact in the power balance of the continent. Kai, you see the number of expert of magic Knight throughout the continent does not surpa.s.s 1000 in number but everyone is pillar which supports a power. How many experts of magic Knight level greatly determine. The strength of a person or a State. Special because he is a graduate from Chronos Magic Academy. He will be stamped as one of the few top genius in the continent. These power will try to make him serve them and If he refuses he will be eliminated so that he cannot join hands with other power. Academy also open a hand for alliance to everyone graduate who are determined not to have joined any force to increase their forces and they become core members fighting force of academy.All master course students and mostly are commoners background are part of academy power and trained as well as receive protection from academy"
"The forces which can protect expert like Tylon are the three empire, Chronos Magic Academy, Shaman King Mountain Sect and secret organization like blood Trinity. Each have resources to help them grow and provide protection to them. Specially Tylon and any graduate of Chronos Magic Academy have unlimited potential of growth. Even if they don"t become magic champion they can become peak magic knight"
Hearing that Kai casual said"Are you not forgetting the three Kingdoms?"
Regas and other look at Kai like they are looking at a fool. Look like even though Kai have reached peak of Magic Warrior stage he have no idea about the forces of the continent and how three kingdoms are nothing before them.
As Regas and other shaked their head as Chris spoke"Kai, power of three kingdoms is nothing before these forces each of these forces have peak magic champion stage experts to take command before them three kingdoms which doesn"t even have a single magic champion to back them and among them Romand Kingdom is basically a vessel of Chaos Empire which act as guards against the magic beasts.
Alfrine Kingdom is wealthy but they don"t have any magic knight stage experts aside from prince Julis. Buraford Kingdom from what I have heard have recently been attached by large force of undead and army of Buraford Kingdom have fully been destroyed. All commander have disappeared leaving the bonders unguarded. Romand Kingdom would have already invaded Buraford Kingdom if not due to attack of magic beasts. Entire kingdom is going through economic and political crises. Kai, I am a citizen of Alfrine Kingdom and have to depend on Oman Empire to defend us from magic beast of forbidden forest can provide protection to me. That"s why I, Regas and others have decided to join Oman Empire under Duke Grawan among the three empire, Oman may not be strongest but they have the most resources and protection of War Sovereign San Di.The second strongest person in the continent"
Hearing Chris and others opinion. Kai sigh bitterly as he look at Lizel and Tylon.
Look like the true reason why three kingdoms have so less expert are due to the undercurrent and not having ability to protect as well as help them grow as he look at Tylon and Alice. Alice have not joined any forces as per he knows but may be if he have not appeared she would have become part of power struggle. Suddenly Kai felt disguised not to mention people who can be backbone of three kingdoms have to leave their lands and nation due to threat of death.
Is this any different from the situation in forbidden forest were strong devour weak before Kai appeared and crushed the dominantion of six lord of forbidden forest with absolute strength.
