The brunette was starting to wonder if Major Dylan examined every possible D-Class mission the King had to offer in hopes of finding the most insane and boring ones he could to annoy his team with as she returned scrolls to their correct shelves. Every mission can be classified as S to E-Class, with S being the most high-end missions that consist of fighting dragons and being the heroes of the kingdom of Laera and E-Class as being the most beginner as one could get. And Team Dylan was currently in the library for a D-Class mission. Their mission was to work as the librarian’s assistants. Sophia’s task was to return checked-in books and scrolls to the right place according to some crazy and confusing filing system, dusting the shelves as she went. Leon was working behind the desk, it being the place where he could cause the least amount of damage or trouble. Zain sat behind the help desk. He was supposed to be helping with questions asked or directing a visito

Sophia had picked up a few basic earth and water scrolls from the library on her way home. She knew element-based magic was difficult to learn, and if she ever wanted to master her two natures, she would have to start practicing now. Any spare moment she had between early morning training with Asher Jean, then Major Dylan, Asher Jean again, Major Laina, and missions would be spent studying these scrolls and practicing magic. She had no time to spare, her drive to go back to Elijah with her magic channel unrestricted made her move forward. At first, when she discovered that she had two elemental magic, she couldn’t believe it at all. She was not an elemental user, more like adept to illusionary magic – thanks to Elijah – but not the first four elements at all. She knew from Leon, the ability to make clones was a useful one. If she could make water, rock, or mud clones they could be of great help to her. Having an affinity to an element meant she used less magi

There are three types of Knights in the association: (1) the High Knights who were the ones closest to the royal family of the Laera Kingdom; (2) the warriors, the Knights who received missions from the High Knights through the Head of the Knights Association, and; (3) the mentors, who mold the Knights for three years into strong, capable warriors. Major Dylan watched horrified as his students charged at the water clone. Leon created dozens of his own which dog piled the Aidan water clone. Sophia, Zain, and the real Leon ran around the wiggling mass of magic clones and shot towards the real Aidan holding him captive. He had told them to run away! They were no match for a rogue Knight like Aidan. If they tried to fight him they would die. Major Dylan didn’t want to watch any more of his comrades die. Especially not the team he was supposed to be teaching to become great warriors. Leon had made more clones to act as a line of defense as the three Knights bore d

Team Dylan had been in the village of Lak Point for a week before Aidan came after them. Just the night before Leon and Zain had finally managed to master the training Major Dylan put on them. Zain had joined her and Major Dylan on the bridge for babysitting duty as she had dubbed it. Leon was back at Anouk’s house recovering from exhaustion, both physical and magic.However, the sight that greeted them at the bridge was not one Sophia was used to. The few workers that hadn’t quit on the old man in fear were injured.‘So Aidan and his partner are here.’Sophia took a protective stance in front of the bridge builder, gladly letting Major Dylan and Zain take charge of this battle. Her hand-to-hand combat still wasn’t good enough to fight Aidan in a hand-to-hand combat fight, even if she had a nearly endless supply of needles.Hopefully, she would be able to let Major Dylan handle this and defend herself and Anouk if the need ar

Major Dylan was once again late to the meeting he called at the bridge. Sophia was getting fairly annoyed by her mentor’s attitude. Why call a team meeting if he was going to be late every damn time?Of course he appeared just as tensions were running high and her patience was fraying thin. He completely derailed any possible breakout of a fight between Leon and Zain by announcing he had nominated them for the High Knight selection exams.Leon took his application eagerly and hugged their mentor until they fell on the ground. “I love you, Major Dylan!”“Anyway,” their mentor grunted as he got up, “this exam is dangerous especially for you, young and inexperienced Knights. It’s up to each of you if you want to actually participate. If you do, take those papers to the Head Office of the Knights Association tomorrow morning.” And then their mentor was gone.Sophia knew she was going to take the High Knight sele
