*Alarm beats*

I hear the annoying sound of my alarm clock. I was quite startled.

"I-I'm back home?, But last night?...Oh!, JUBEI!"

I recalled what happened last night. I was suppose to confess to Jubei but she got kidnapped. I tried to get up but I'm feeling a little dizzy.

"You mustn't get up yet, That level 3 fireball still has a burning effect against non-magicians."

The blonde girl, Yes, her!. She's the one who saved me last night. But, how the hell did she know where I live?

"Since when did we reach my house, and how did you know where I live?"

"Like I told you, I was a close friend of your mother."

"Put that aside, What the hell is happening? Where did they took Jubei to? I need to save her!"

"Just calm down ok?"

"How could I calm down!?, She's kidnapped and you tell me to calm down!?"

"Just listen to me!"

There was a short awkward silence between that. I guess I just did lose control.

"You can't do anything with your state right now. And even if you get cured completely your still unable to do anything. What you seek for is out of this world's control."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I know it's a bit confusing but Just shut up and keep listening."

"Those men who kidnapped descendant are the group called the Void Crawlers."

"W-wait, Descendant? You mean... Jubei?"

"Yes, She is the descendant of the forbidden magic much greater than what is now in the present."

"Magic...So that explains most of my questions..."

"Going back to the topic, The void crawlers plan to use the descendant to wreak havoc through this world."

"And it's one of my job to stop their actions from occurring. But they were one step ahead of me, As you can see they already held captive of the descendant."

"So you mean it's my fault?"

"I'm not blaming you! You just happen to be in danger that time."

"Then you are blaming me.."

"I said I'm not! Jeez, You and your mother are the same."

"By the way, My mother. How did you get to know her?"

"Actually, Your mother was the head magician representative at the Grandeur faction and intercontinental champion the last Magic Wars."

"W-wait, What's the 'Grandeur faction' and 'Intercontinental Magic wars'?"

"The Grandeur faction is the strongest group of magicians your mother went in. That time, I was a mere rookie and the one who helped me reached my rank now is your mother, I guess I owe her one and that's some reason I just can't let you die back there."

"And the Intercontinental Magic Wars is where all representatives of each continents will battle out and claim the title as the 'Archmage'."

"But why battle just for a mere title?"

"It's no mere title, That title grants the winner to enter the forbidden chambers where the source of all magic came from."

"And their gonna use Jubei to deplete that magic?"

"Yes,"

"But if they deplete the source of the magic, Wouldn't it affect them too?"

"Unfortunately that's beyond my knowledge. But I'm sure they have some plan stored. And the source isn't just mere magic. It's the balance of this world."

"If they succeed with their plan, then all hell will break lose. Calamities will occur in each part of the globe and eventually the human race will be in the brink of extinction."

"I see...then, lets go stop them!"

After hearing the story that came from Sabrina, I felt some bitter responsibility inside me. It's like if it weren't for me. Sabrina could have just saved Jubei and stop all this madness.

"W-what!?"

"I said, Lets go stop them!"

"But I can't risk your life coming with me."

"Then teach me."

"Teach you what?"

"Teach me the ways of magic. I will surely do my best and become like mother. Besides, I feel kinda' responsible in my own way. And most of all, That night. I was trying to confess to Jubei."

"B-but I promised your mother not to get you involved in this case."

"I made this decision myself. I really want to help out and rescure Jubei. She's the only family I got and I want you to help me."

"B-but...the promise..."

"Please?"

I begged Sabrina to teach me and well, I guess this woman against begging style. Now I know your weaknes...*smirk*

"O-OKAY! J-Just stop begging! Jeez."

"Thanks.."

I stared passionately. And she blushed as hell.

"You and your mother really have the same attitude you know."

"Now, What Should I do first?"

"Stop believing in god."

"Wait...W-what?"

"It means what it says."

"B-but why?"

"Magic and God is a very different case, there were Biblical mages and non-biblical mages back then, This man that I should say the 'Magi' disagreed with the pact that the Biblical and non-biblical mages were trying to make"

"But why did he do that?"

"He said that the beliefs of both side does not sync and it's impossible for them to get along. Biblical mages were based on god's words and non-biblical mages are based on what made this world."

"But god made the world right?"

"That's what the 'Magi' is fighting for. He believed that the world is made up of different elements such as the Light, Dark,Nature, Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, and lastly. The Void.

"Light is the manifestation of your courage , Dark is your fear, and the rest is the energy we sense around this world."

"But the spell you've used. Isotonic Sword. That's water right?"

"You're a good catcher, Yes that's a water type."

"But what's with the 'Courage of the thousands' thingy."

"That's part of your will power. You can't cast a spell if you don't have any will to do it."

"But what's void magic?"

"Void magic is the main manifestation of your own evil side."

"Then that 'Fortis' Guy you knew. Was he..."

"Yes, He was part of the Grandeur but got blinded by power and the evil side of him released and consumed the very person he was in the past."

"I get it now. I am ready to not worship the god I knew right now. I'm ready to devote myself into the magic. I'll stop the Void crawlers myself and

"Then I need you to chant these spells."

She gave me an old paper. Looks kinda cool. And I said what written on it.

"From the spirits of Light, Dark,Nature, Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, and Void. I hereby offer myself to be Wise mage of the Magi, And thy beliefs of the Biblical mages shall fade from my own will."

As I chant these, I sense a tremendous flow of energy releasing. It was a purple ray. The light could almost blind me. And I feel my body fading away too..

"W-where am I?"

"Were in the magic hole leading to the magic realm."

"Cool!"

"See you on the other side!"

"W-wait...Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"

I was like falling from a cliff, My speed kept gaining and gaining. Then I've arrived from the magic realm.

"Woah, That was one hell of a..."

My eyes almost killed me. The magic realm is a paradise. Almost all of the buildings are made of golden bricks. I see mages. It's like inside an MMORPG.

"Yo! Yoshi-Kun!"

"Bon Vitri-san! I thought I'd never see you!"

"Enough with the honorifics. You can call me Sabrina."

"O-Okay then."

She's unexpectedly nice after all that chatting.

"By the way, Yoshi-kun..."

"Yes?"

"Who's last name are you using?"

"My mothers."

"Then you better get ready."

"Ready for what exactly? Is this the 1st part of the test?"

"No, But I need you to go inside that golden door."

"The big one?"

"Yes, Well, In the magic realm day is night so I should get some sleep myself. I'll be heading home though."

"But where will I go?"

"I said go into that door right? When you find Samantha, She will lead you to your quarters."

"O-kay, Good night then!"

"Likewise.."

As Sabrina walks away, I approached the big golden door. Is this some kind of a castle? And when I opened the door.

"Welcome home! Matsumoto-sama"

"W-whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?"

I was shocked. There were a lots of maid inside. And the establishment seems belong to a rich family.

"Welcome home, Matsumoto-sama, My name is Samantha Bon Vitri. Head maid of the Matsumoto Residence."

"W-wait... Bon V-Vitri? That means... Your Sabrina's little sister?"

"Yes, I am. And she has contacted me that Matsumoto-sama will return."

"But that's my mother were talking about... And, Is my mother...well... Kinda, famous around here?"

"Yes, She's still the well-known 'Archmage'."

"But my mother died. Would that end her title?"

"An Archmage never dies. Her physical appearance would appear dead but her spirit in this world would never fade away, Even the oldest of them old former Archmages is still alive. But they reside within the forbidden chamber."

"I see."

"Now, If you could please follow me Matsumoto-sama. I will now take you to your chambers, Big sister said that your training will start tomorrow so I need you to take a good rest and consider this World your 2nd Home."

"O-Okay..."

I'm still psyched out. So, My mother was famous and I get to be treated the same way because I'm her son? SWEET!

"Were here Matsumoto-sama."

"Um could you please not call me by my last name? I'm kinda embarrassed."

"I would not approve on such a request. The Bon Vitri family is owes the Matsumoto Family for many years and I consider each Matsumoto with respect."

"Well, You could atleast call me, Yoshi-sama."

"Well, That could be available. Very well then, Yoshi-sama. This is your room. Just call for me when you needed something ok?"

"O-okay."

As Samantha leaves, I enter my room. And I was shocked to see that my room is almost the same size as the apartment I live in back in Yokohama.

"This is a dream come true."

I excitedly jump on my bed and ready for sleep.

"Well then, Training starts tomorrow. Just you wait Jubei, I will definitely save you and confess once more!..."
