They say the shadow of the old world still remains, it's been almost 2000 years since the Wise One
Ancient Humans
ended their own era with a light of a thousand sun, amidst the ruin, rise a generation of individual with mana abilities, they called themselves Wizards and Witches, they started to create fire out of thin air, compressed the atmospheric vapour into water, amongst the mana sensitive individuals there are those with exceptional abilities, the one for examples that can push away floods, travel long distance with just a blink of an eye, some that can withstand the test of time said to live for 500 years or more, they are praised as Grandmasters and they governed this new world.
Today, the world is separated into 8 continents and many countries/domain governed by 9 known Grandmasters, they are few of the countless overpowered individuals in the world of Terra, with great influence and extraordinary mana perks, few of the examples of mana perks are, first and most common is Noble Blood which means you inherited a large amount of mana said originated from the First Grandmaster, then you got the Common Blood which is normal in every circumstances that is just like the stamina, if one trains and works very hard, the Mana Pool becomes greater and might surpass those of the Noble Bloods, one of the current Grandmaster are from a common folks.
Act 2 : Shadow Of Peace
The world just achieve peace around 570 years ago and it stayed that way untill recently. The Lightning Corp, a company consists of Lightning or Electro wizards and witches got slaughtered by an unknown assault. 3572 lightning wiz and wit were killed, thousands more are wiz/wit from various elemental background and even the Elite Wizards were killed which baffles the country around the world, because one Elite Wiz/Wit could overpowered 30 Professional Wiz/Wit. The tragedy was remembered as The Lightning Slaughter, many suffer and many more loss their family. Unfortunately in the event that night the Lightning Corp's Grandmaster wasn't present because he was at the other side of the world attending the Mana Summit
the gathering of Grandmasters across the world
one Grandmaster could easily overpowered a battalion of wiz/wit or even change the landscape and pummel a country to dust.
In the middle of the slaughter, a 4 years old boy name Wise Light survived the assault but his parent perished in that explosive night, he came from a Water Element based family said to be be his parents worked in the plumbing of cooling the electric generator. He lived his whole life alone untill the age of 15 years old he joined the Wizards Academy
Coronation Day
which trains the young ones to become what they want mainly protecting their country and rise to the ranks of Elite Wiz/Wit some even aim to be a Grandmaster which is a one in 100 years feat. For 20 millions human there's one Grandmaster.
Act 3 : Shadow Of The Coronation
The day arrived and Wise enter the gathering of registered Wizlings/Witchling
newbie wiz/wit
. During the registration there are several procedures conducted, the first one is Mana Count
the process of measuring one's Mana
it is measured in rate of mana flows in your body using magical device called Mana Rater, a weakest grandmaster has at least 10000 mana flow per second
mps
Elites have arround 1500 mps, a fatal magical spell minimally used around 150mps. Wise's Mana Count shocked the examiner as it shows not 560mps but only 56mps which is rare, all the other wiz/witchlings saw it then, the examiner asked Wise what is his purpose joining the academy, He answered " I'm going to become a most powerful Grandmaster! " loudly, the whole hall heard him and there was a total silence , then came the laugh. The examiner told him that even a human with the worst job have at least 170mps...
The commotion of being the weakest person in the world rises, but that didn't even falter his wish to becone the Grandsmaster, then come the first class and it is close quarters combat
CQC class
led by an Elite Wiz called Yama-sensei
Master of Magical Weapons
, a muscular and beefy appearance with a background of Ground type elemental magic and a distinctive gentleman's voice.
Act 4 : Shadow Of The Juijitsu
Range weapons aren't allowed, Mana enhancement aren't allowed, killing your opponents aren't allowed, spells aren't allowed, any kind of spells aren't allowed, six months training, "if you can land a single punch to my face at anytime any place even when I'm sleeping or eating you pass the jiujutsu class and can skip this class and proceed to the next lesson, if you didn't score 2 wins in the first 3 months you are dispell from this batch and join the next batch of newbies in 3 years" those are the rules coming out of Yama sensei.
After the speech suddenly a lone Wizling jumps straight from the crowd with a lightning speed he lands a punch on Yama sensei's face shouting " Show yourself!". Whole class is in shock, start murmuring that the lone boy is none other than the heir to the Gajin family, the most powerful family in the eastern continents bloodline which come from the first Grandmaster, a Noble Blood, which is a rare sights since that Noble Blood doesn't need to attend the academy and can rise straight to become a Professional Wiz, his name is Nato, Nato Gajin.
Act 5 : Shadow Of The Reversals
As that wasn't shocking enough, Yama sensei exerts an uppercut to Nato's stomach region sends him up in the air and get a roundhouse kick sending Nato flying straight to the wall although, Nato manage to block it. Then the most shocking thing happens again, after the kick Yama sensei's face starts to crack and his whole body crumbles turn into rubbles, then on the balcony there's this macho voice which is Yama's saying " the Juijitsu Class Starts Now! and I'm a little bit dissapointed that only one out of 40 of you spotted that was a solid Mana Clone ".
"The one that punched your clone should pass this jujitsu class!" Shouted Wise. The sensei ask why, then Wise said " You violated your own rules by using mana clone which is a type of magical spell", the sensei didn't see that coming and tell Nato that he pass the class and can continue to the next class which is Spell Mastery class, but Yama-sensei doubt that Nato would accept the offer because no one in their right mind would refuse the opportunity to land a punch at the best Western Continent's close quater combattant which is Yama-sensei a.k.a StoneYama/ KumaYama/ Devil of The West, the one that could beat a Grandmaster in a jujitsu fight, he is probably the best jujitsu master in the world, and he was right, Nato refused the offer. Many attempted to punch the sensei later that day but many failed miserably and got hospitalized, Wise didn't even tries it as he knows he got no chance of landing any blow.
Act 6 : Shadow Of The Weapon 1
The first 3 weeks is sparring match with bare hands, then comes the day of picking up weapon of choice, Wise picks a short sword and a small elbow shield, Nato chooses an Eastern style blade called the Katana, the blade is thin but it's pretty long and heavy. The sensei uses a dual hand long hammer/mace the heaviest type of weapon, to swing it is impossible without mana enhancement but Yama-sensei wields it like it's a dagger, whenever he swings it there's alway a shockwave sending winds because the weapon is very heavy, it's inhuman how the way he swings it, to get to Yama-sensei's level of strength who knows how harsh his training could be.
The sensei begins to explain how weapons were graded and classified, the lowest grade is grade 5, the weapon is made out basic materials like steel, iron, and wood or normal animal skins and body parts, this type of weapon breaks easily if it were to infused with mana. The 4th grade is made out of same materials like the grade 5, but imbued with little of Atventrium particles
some type of magical ores
this grade of a weapon can withstand medium mana flows. Grade 3 weapons are on another level often used by ProWiz/Wit and some Elites, half of the materials used to produce it are Atventrium, it can withstand arround 1000mps single blast spell, they a very expensive to make and take several months to finish it even for Elite Wiz/Wit blacksmith. Next is the 2nd grade, made fully out of Atventrium mixed with titanium, the handle of it usually made out of magical beasts
Mabeasts
bones, tooth, horns, claws and skins which are rare and hard to come by, it takes 3 to four Elites to disable a low ranks Mabeast. Almost every Elites uses 2nd grade weapons, so if ones ever encounter enemies with 2nd grade weapons, it is best to retreat and run as fast as you can, because normal humans always fainted trying to lift the weapon.
