Ever since I was a child, I knew that I was different from everyone else.
I could often feel it in my parents' doting yet slightly worried gaze.
When I was a week old, according to Imperial tradition, I was tested for magical powers, and as a toddler, I was so interested in the shiny crystals that I clumsily pounced on them, and with a crackling sound, the crystal ball, when touched by my little hand, emitted a dazzling light and burst into pieces, leaving my parents dumbfounded. The parents were dumbfounded.
Three crystal balls in a row, the extremely excited parents believe this fact, although they themselves are thirteen level magicians, in the empire also enjoys a high reputation, but at first still can not believe.
Because in the five hundred years of the empire's history, there would not be more than ten people who could have such high magical power, and every one of them, in the end, grew up to become a great magical guide who had crossed the world and reigned supreme.
So, when I didn't even recognize my own name, the name "Xiunan Kaye" had quickly spread throughout the entire empire, and everyone knew that it represented a newly born magical genius.
Emperor Amok was also curious, and sent an order to receive me, of course, I was carried by my parents, the Empress Yvanya loved my chubby little face, hugged and kissed me, I still wonder if my first kiss was lost at that time.
It is said that Ivanya gave me a magic crystal necklace at the end of the day, but unfortunately, as soon as I put it around my neck, it turned into fine crystal powder with a crackling sound.
My parents regarded me as their greatest pride, and carefully nurtured this baby in the palm of their hand, wishing to carry me in their pockets at all times, until the year I turned five.
Five years old, is the initial age of learning magic, but I let all the people disappointed, whether it is fire, earth, light or wind magic, I can not control, only to the water magic, there is a little bit of weak control.
By all rights, with such a high level of magical power, it should be easy for me to make these magic spells. My parents tried to find a way to do so, and after many probes, they realized that the magic power was like a forbidden sea within me, not fluctuating at all, and I couldn't use it at all.
After repeated attempts, my parents had to admit defeat, but they didn't give up, and began to take me to see other great magicians, hoping to find a way to stimulate the hidden magic in my body.
So from the age of five, I began a life somewhat akin to that of a bard, traveling all over the empire, meeting many of the great magi of great renown, and seeing all sorts of interesting magic, which of course wasn't much fun when it was inflicted upon me.
When a variety of interesting, odd, and even some slightly cruel magic imposed on me, still did not produce the slightest change, if I have to say, that is, my tolerance for magic has become much stronger, after all, not everyone can have such a "workout" opportunity! ......
My parents didn't give up on their hopes, and taught me all about magic along the way, trying over and over again, hoping for a miracle. A few years down the line, under the strict supervision of my parents, I was already familiar with the use of various types of magic, but I just couldn't use it, the only thing I could barely control the use of was the water system, but the progress was also much slower than ordinary people, usually taking twice as long as others.
Mother is one of the top masters of water magic in the empire, and she is even more worried about my situation, because, water magic is not suitable for men to learn, and no matter how hard they try, at most, they can only learn to use intermediate magic, and can't use advanced water magic, just as a woman can't master advanced fire magic either.
Let mother worry not only this point, as I grow up day by day, the body gradually grow taller, the appearance also slowly become more and more beautiful, more and more ...... beautiful!
Before I was ten years old, my mother didn't care about this, and whenever someone she didn't know complimented, "Your daughter is so beautiful, so lovely!" When she did, she still always smiled smugly before telling the person that I was a boy and admiring their surprised expression.
Of course, the one who was most angry was myself, being treated as a girl for good reason made me very angry, and to show my protest, I once drew two mustaches on my lips when I went out with my parents, but it didn't seem to have any effect except to make the adults laugh.
Twelve years old, we traveled to the city of Murray, to participate in the city of a nobleman's banquet, after the meal, the attentive hosts warmly invited the guests to the back garden to enjoy the hot springs, I was actually assigned to the women's side of the guest of honor, when the silly I was brought by the servants into the women's locker room, immediately, the whole house heard my shrieks of horror ......< /p>
That was it, and it still didn't get my mother's attention. Until I was fourteen years old, once I went out alone, it was winter, I was wearing one of my favorite cloak, in the street there is a greasy-headed fop who has been constantly accosting me, I do not know which noble family, I do not bother to pay attention. But when I returned to the hotel soon after, someone actually sent a large basket of flowers, saying that it was for me, which made me so angry that I almost spit out blood, and could not wait to rush out to beat up the person. And it was only after laughing maniacally that my mother realized how bad the situation was and promised to help me figure out how to fix it.
Mother and Dad racked their brains for months before creating a new magic that would generate a layer of magical skin on my face, both visually and tactilely, just like real skin. Unfortunately, this magic must be maintained by my mother's "Heart of the Moon" ring, which is one of my mother's treasures, otherwise, this magic invention would have been a sensation and could be widely used in various fields.
Putting on the "Heart of the Moon" ring and using my magic skin to create an ordinary boy's mask, I finally solved this problem and could go out alone without worrying about other people's misunderstanding and ridicule.
By the time I was fifteen years old, my parents had already taken me all over the empire, and visited almost all the famous and unknown magicians, but none of them were able to solve the problem, and all of them could only shake their heads and sigh at me, saying that it was a waste of a piece of good material, and that I still couldn't use my magic as freely as a normal person. The whole empire has heard about my "strange disease", and everyone knows that the genius with the highest magical power back then is now just an imbecile in magic control.
Half genius, half idiot, this is the fifteen year old me--Xiu Nan Kai.
No matter what others think, my parents still love me as much as before, I have no doubt about that. Ten years have passed and they haven't given up on the idea in the slightest, and I think they would have traveled to other empires with me if war hadn't suddenly broken out in the south.
The year 1547 of the divine calendar, the south because of successive years of famine, the people are not happy, the imperial officials are still searching without restraint, finally there are a few tribes to rise up, once the rebellion occurs, it will be like a prairie fire, burning, unstoppable, the south of the fourteen provinces, in two months has been nine provinces were overrun, the imperial army is losing ground.
The imperial capital shook, the emperor Amok sent an urgent order, within a week, the army of the conquest was formed, as a famous magician, parents are also in the conscription, need to serve the country.
This is not the first time that my parents have been on the battlefield, and a large part of their fame can be said to have come from the battlefield. It was just that this time, there was one more person, me, who put them at ease.
After some deliberation, they decided to send me to the Yalandai Magic Academy in the imperial capital, entrusting me to their old friend at the academy, Mentor Suji.
The Yalandai Academy can be considered famous, as it is the only academy that specializes in teaching only intermediate and high-level water magic, and it is filled with a clean slate of female students, most of whom come from the Imperial Capital's powerful families. Although the school rules did not explicitly state that no boys would be admitted, the nature of high-level water magic had decided that no boys would choose this academy, and if they wanted to learn ordinary water magic, other academies also offered basic courses.
Only I can barely learn to use some water magic, in the parents of the attentive training, with ten years of time, but also reached the level of the third level of the magician, so, in the eyes of my parents, this academy is naturally the most suitable for me to go, not to mention that, here there is also their friends for many years, the mighty and famous, temperament eccentricity, so that many students are very afraid of the tutor Suji.
Naturally, I was strongly opposed to such a decision, but in the years of my "treatment", I had already learned how stubborn my parents were, and naturally, my opposition was ineffective.
So it was that at the age of fifteen, I was sent to the Yalandai Academy, and became its first male student ever.
Mother left me the Heart of the Moon ring, which left her without one of her most powerful weapons on the battlefield, but she also taught me a quick incantation that would activate the power within the Heart of the Moon and create a defensive shield around me, capable of temporarily withstanding ten levels of damage. Defense shield around my body, able to temporarily withstand the attacks of a tenth level magician. However, given my limited level of magic, I can only use it once a day at most.
In order to arrange for me, the tutor Su Ji also had quite a headache, because not only is the academy clear of girls, even the tutors are all women, because in the history of the continent, no man has been able to master high-level water magic, and not being able to reach this level, naturally, there is no qualification for the Yalandai Academy to teach. Because of this, there was simply not a single dormitory on campus where boys lived.
After a great deal of headache, Mentor Suuji finally found a place that she thought was appropriate--a utility room on the top floor of the library. After directing me to set up a crib in the dusty, cobwebbed room, she covered her nose and fled, leaving me to cry.
On the first day of class, I walked through the school self-consciously with my head down, turning my collar up high, and hid alone in the corner of the last row when I entered the classroom. Despite this, the entire class of girls can not help but turn their heads back to look at me, huh, this is a hundred percent of the turnaround rate, it is said that in the past, only the school ranked the first big beautiful girl thousand thousand thousand thousand dreams can enjoy oh! But unfortunately, my ordinary "appearance" let them disappointed.
Out of concern, Suji arranged for my first class to be taught by her. At this time, standing on the rostrum teaching Suuji finally by the girls' curious behavior anger, when gusts of biting cold wind with pieces of ice in the classroom dance, the girls finally become honest, turn back to listen to the lesson. But I can still hear from the front of the array of whispers: "...... I heard before that he looks more beautiful than the girls, now it seems not at all like it ......". "I heard that he learns magic to be very idiotic it, just don't know to what degree of idiocy ......" "Hee hee! You'll find out soon enough, why don't you try it tonight?"
"Bah! I'm not interested in this kind of frog, but it looks like it's right up your alley! ......"
With their whispering, from time to time, there are also girls sneakily turned back, with a very wanton eyes up and down to look at me, let me mixed body uncomfortable, for Su Ji tutor lectures on the knowledge of magic, did not listen to much at all.
In this kind of atmosphere, even the stomach seems to become a little uncomfortable, it is hard to get through to the end of the class, I have been holding it for a long time, by using the convenience of sitting in the back row, quickly rushed out of the classroom, according to the instructions in the corridor, straight to the toilet.
Body Chapter 2: American Girl Academy
"Bang!" "BANG!" , with a few loud bangs, the ice shield in front of me was smashed to pieces, this is the highest defense I can set up at the moment, and after that, countless ice arrows and hailstones flew and attacked, also mixed with a few girls "Pervert!" "Rascal!" I don't care about anything, I hold my head. I don't care about anything else, I ran away with my head in my hands, and fled back to the top floor of the library in a state of disarray.
This was my first toilet experience in Yalandai College.
Of course, I can't be blamed, who would have thought that this women's college wouldn't have a single restroom for men, and I didn't mean to break into the women's restroom to peek in, and I could have sworn in the name of the great god Aegis that I didn't see a thing.
Lying on the bed of the nest for a while, I was a little bit shocked, thankful that there is still this side of the world to let me alone, just a few moments ago, the battle has made me realize that the entire school girls are afraid of which one of the magical strength is higher than me, and think of the future of the horror of the day, can not help but be very frustrated.
My premonitions were usually very good, and the afternoon classes passed quickly in apprehension, but just after school ended, I put up my collar and was trying to sneak back quickly when I was suddenly stopped by five girls.
"You! Is that the Xunan Kaye?" The girl in the lead had her arms crossed and her beautiful eyes glaring at me as she looked me up and down. She was wearing a fiery red dress and was actually very pretty to look at, just that with the movement of her cross-eyed expression at the moment, it would only remind me of one word - tigress!
Of course, this word I only dare to think in my heart, do not dare to say out. Seeing my dumbfounded expression, the pretty girl frowned gently, "This guy really looks like a bit of an idiot, if I really want him to join the 'Flaming Red Lips', I'm afraid that he'll bring shame to me, Bilisi, in the future!"
The other girl beside her said curtly, "But he's the only boy in our school after all, it wouldn't be good if he let someone else steal the show!"
Byllis nodded, "That's true!" The delicate hand lightly swing, "giggle" sound, a light flashed, I feel my left wrist a burst of pain, a closer look, there is a faint mark, in the shape of a piece of red lips, I can not help but dumbfounded, I'm a boy, oh, wrist more than this mark, how to see people in the future?
Looking at me desperately trying to rub it with my right hand, Beatrice grunted and said, "It won't come off, don't waste your efforts. Remember, in the future, you are a member of our 'Flaming Red Lips', you must be at your beck and call, otherwise, you will die an ugly death oh!"
Hanging her head in shame, she returned to her own nest, feeling that it had been a miserable day, first being treated as a pervert, and then being inexplicably forced to join a group. Branding seems like it's usually used on domestic animals oh, I actually have an extra one on my wrist, I could not wipe it off even though I almost scratched my skin just now, it seems like the one used should be a magical mark.
Remembering what Bilis said, "At your service", I really feel dizzy, but it seems that I have become her servant all of a sudden. But when I think of her sweet and beautiful face, it's so appealing that there must be a lot of boys willing to take the initiative to be her servant, but it's a pity that I'm not one of them.
With these thoughts in mind, I fell into a deep sleep without realizing it, finally ending my first day at the Yalandai Women's Magic Academy.
The next few days were not as frightening as I had originally imagined, with quiet classes going on and off every day, and boringly learning magic that I might not be able to use in my own lifetime. A week passed quickly, and slowly I got used to the curious and concerned looks of others, and practically no one came to bother me, Bilis hadn't appeared since that day, and seemed to have forgotten about me.
Objectively speaking, the environment in the academy is still very good, not to mention, there are beautiful women all over the place, cool and eye-pleasing, pleasing to the eyes. Regrettably, I have not been able to see the number one beauty of the academy that I have been longing for - Thousand Thousand Thousand Dreams. I still can only see her dancing in the magic crystal ball in the Royal Plaza with her stunning demeanor.
Since two hundred years ago, the Great Magician Yarnard invented the magic crystal ball, which can transmit images over long distances, people's lives have begun to make some significant changes, through the magic towers located in the plazas of the major cities, loved ones who are separated from each other are able to see each other's faces and voices. And the Royal Opera House's exquisite plays, is no longer the patent of the nobles, every performance day, the Royal Square is crowded with people, through the magic tower on top of the huge ball of magic crystal, as if intoxicated to enjoy the opera.
The richer people can buy a magic crystal ball and enjoy it at home, of course, the price of 50,000 gold coins per ball is not affordable, and the Yarnard family, which produces the magic crystal ball, has made a huge fortune over the past two centuries, becoming the new plutocrat of the empire.
And the Thousand Thousand family which mastered the art magic, because of the appearance of the magic crystal ball, let more people have the opportunity to see the mysterious art magic, reputation spread far and wide, and produced a large number of famous opera stars such as Thousand Thousand Thousand Dreams and so on.
I admit that I am only an ordinary boy, so the first time I saw Qian Qian Qian Meng in the magic crystal ball, I could not help but be attracted by her amazing beauty and overwhelming splendor, and once begged my mother to take me to the Royal Opera House to see one of her performances, although just watching from afar under the stage, but it was enough to make me excited for a long time.
Just and her millions of crazy worshippers than, my this adoration is really nothing, her every public trip will cause the local streets of the congestion, it is said that every year because of her and lovesick teenagers no less than a thousand people, so that witch doctors have to be in the medical books to add a new name: "thousand thousand thousand dreams lovesickness ". And the tableware she used every time she attended a banquet could be auctioned for thousands of gold coins afterward, and if it was left in its original state without being cleaned, the price would be doubled.
Oh, speaking of which, you should also understand that the reason why I finally agreed to be sent to such a horrible women's magic academy in the first place was largely because of Thousand Thousand Thousand Dreams. Though, knowing that she wouldn't be coming to class very often.
Right now, I'm in the Royal Plaza, walking towards the Magic Tower, there's no opera performance today, and that's not why I'm here, today's just the day I've arranged to meet with my parents through the magic crystal ball.
Entered the Magic Tower, explained the purpose of the visit, an older wizard took me into a small room, the inside is empty, only a table, on top of which sits a fist-sized ball of magic crystal, the old wizard waved his wand, muttered a long incantation, the original transparent ball of magic crystal will be slowly produced a ripple, when the fluctuation of the ripples gradually calmed down, the mother's gracious image will be revealed!
When the ripples calmed down, the image of her mother appeared.
"Xunan, how are you doing at the academy? You seem to be looking well!" Mother's smile was always so gentle.
I nodded, "Well, I'm doing well, don't worry guys, don't worry about me!"
Mother raised her hand as if to touch me, but immediately snapped out of it and let it go, just looking at me, "Xiu Nan, you're almost grown up, you need to learn to take care of yourself!"
I nodded my head vigorously, "Uh, I will. Did you guys make it to the front? When will the war be over?"
Speaking of the war, my mother's smile took on a hint of fatigue, "We've already fought a few battles, and the war is going well, so I think it should be over in a few months. However, after that we might want to take a trip to the Star Sinking Sea, and it might take a few more months before we can go back ......"
"Star Sinking Sea? Where are we going for?" I was a bit puzzled, from what I knew, it was a distant sea located in the south.
"I've been guessing for the past few years that perhaps your illness has something to do with the Star Sinking Sea, so I'm going to take this opportunity to make a trip there in hopes of finding the cause of the illness." Seeing my perplexed expression, my mother's eyes were filled with compassion, and she slowly began her narration, "This matter has to start from fifteen years ago ......"
From the magic tower, I exhaled a long breath, the story told by my mother was too bizarre, and it always made me feel unreal, even if it was true, it shouldn't have happened to me, but the victim of this tragedy was none other than me.
Fifteen years ago, when my mother was just pregnant with me, a fierce war broke out between the Empire and the Silver Whale Empire in the south, and my parents had no choice but to throw themselves into it, the Silver Whale Empire was an island nation, and many of the battles were fought at sea. During a brutal battle, mother was lured into a mysterious undersea shrine by the other side, and met the sealed genesis of a generation of magical maidens on the Star Sinking Sea. The magical maiden genesis invaded mother's body and attempted to take over, and mother had to fight to the death with the magical maiden genesis that possessed powerful magical powers. Although the magical maiden's powers could not be fully utilized due to the sealing, she was still far superior to her mother. However, in order to protect the child in her womb, the mother developed an unprecedented fighting spirit and fought tenaciously, miraculously hanging on for dear life, finally defeating her opponent with her endurance and retreating in one piece.
Later, after I was born, there were all kinds of anomalies such as magic power was strangely high but could not be used normally, which made my mother have to suspect that I was affected by this battle, especially after I grew up slowly, I was beautiful and handsome like a girl, which made my mother even more suspicious that part of the collapsed witch's genesis at that time might have intruded into my body so that it affected my appearance, even though at that time, I was still a foetus in my mother's womb. I was still a fetus in my mother's womb at that time. This is because every generation of Star Sinking Sea's Demonesses are all absolutely beautiful, with unrivaled wisdom and beauty, and their appearance is like that of a celestial being. This is also one of mother's basis.
While these are only mother's guesses and cannot be confirmed yet, they are already the most probable causes of the disease that mother can think of, so mother is prepared to go to the undersea shrine of the Star Sinking Sea once more after this war is over in the hope that she can look for a cure for me.
When I think about it, my mother's guesses match my condition. Ever since I was a child, I have felt a powerful force in my body, but it never listened to me, as if it had a mind of its own, and most of the magic power I usually practiced so hard to get was assimilated and absorbed by this force, leaving only a pitifully small portion for me to use. This is exactly why I was unable to learn most of the magic.
But after all these years, I've gotten used to it, and I'm at peace with it, and not in a hurry. "Let's hope that when my mother returns, she will bring good news!" With that thought, I returned to the Yalande Academy.
