Chapter 3 - Meeting for the first time

Mathias was focused on reading about the history of human wizards.

"On the night of a thousand years ago, there was a strange light called a meteor across the sky all over the world, humans witnessed thousands of meteor showers across the earth's space"

"One by one they crossed until suddenly there was a strange bright white light falling in the corners of the world, observers said that was the beginning of the phenomenon of humans gaining strange powers"

"The day after the incident, humans exposed to the light became abnormal humans, they had powers called magic, many wizards were born from centuries to centuries"

"One of the known figures traveled around the world with his magic to search for meteor stones as a part of it, it is said that getting the stone can make humans to a new evolution and advanced civilization"

"His name is Quentin Rupert, one of the legendary wizards, for fear that he violated the laws of the world, Rupert was sentenced to death in front of a large audience, his punishment was also seen by the seven MONARCH"

"Monarch? Who is Monarch..."

Mathias tried to find an article about the existence of Monarch but couldn't find it.

"After Rupert's death, the Kingdoms of the whole world began to hide the truth behind the story, and were buried forever since his death"

"THE WORLD AND NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, which is the ALLIANCE OF WORLD GOVERNMENTS (100) POWERS have (VETURIS) which means they are given the right to 7 Kingdoms that have a history of war and human civilization... where they can vote, reject and approve what is discussed by the World Association"

Mathias pondered for a long time looking at the words, he thought about Willber's story to him.

"100 kingdoms? Willber told me that there are 101 Kingdoms in this world, is the record in this book fake?"

"Rupert... he must be someone who is brave and tenacious..."

"If I had magic powers... I would definitely achieve my goal..."

"I WANT TO BE A HERO!"

"Ahh this is a bit awkward..., I'm too imaginative, it's shift time soon, I have to take a shower..."

GOLDEN PRINCE PLACE FIFTH FLOOR

"I heard one of the Monarchs is coming here the day after tomorrow, Riley this is your time to make a name for yourself"

Andrejz saw Riley reading the newspaper with focus.

"Really...you must be Andrejz?"

Riley's red eyes stared at Andrejz for a long time which made him feel a little uncomfortable and awkwardly moved away from Riley.

"Yeah...that's just a rumor...not sure..."

Andrejz avoided eye contact with Riley, Johan patted his shoulder.

"Next time if it's a rumor tell me first...it's useless if it's not true...understand Andrejz..."

"Andrejz...Andrejz..."

The brown-skinned Rudra held back his laughter while combing his long hair.

"Shit..."

Andrejz got up from his seat and asked Ren for a cigarette.

"Ren...do you have a cigarette?"

"You asked Bosco..."

Andrejz entered the break room looking for Bosco, while Johan chatted with Riley.

"Riley...don't you want to meet the new boy?"

"Mathias you mean"

"Yes, he's near the library right now, tidying up over there"

Johan seemed to stare for a long time, until Riley reprimanded him.

"Why Johan?"

"Someone saw Cyriel talking to that boy yesterday, coincidentally...Cyriel was near there"

"Ouh..."

Riley smiled broadly,he immediately closed the newspaper and stood up.

"I'll go to the library myself, you wait here"

"Are you sure?"

"Why Rudra? Is there a problem?"

"Not only that, if you disturb Cyriel while he reading a book..."

"Hahahaha it's okay, anyway..."

Riley opened the door to their secret room, the three of them Johan, Ren and Rudra looked at Riley as if holding back his anger.

"He'll die soon..."

LIBRARY

"We'll meet again..."

"Shhh we could get caught!"

Cyriel laughed and sat down, carrying his reading book, while Mathias was off doing his work by looking for a history book.

"Do you know about the origin of the Wizard?"

"Yes...I read it, it's quite interesting..."

"So you must know about the remaining remnants of the wizard's stone, right?"

"Yes, it's quite interesting, I didn't think my ancestors were exposed to the light from the stone..."

"So what are your powers, Cyriel?"

Cyriel pondered for a long time and smiled, he put down the book and tapped his thumb.

"Here it is...my power"

The book that Cyriel placed in front of them suddenly disappeared, Mathias was just amazed, Cyriel liked the expression on his face then he took the invisible book, he joked by hitting Mathias on the head with the book.

"I can feel it but I can't see it...so your power is invisible?"

"Yes, exactly"

"Cool..."

As the two of them chatted, Cyriel saw the part of the book that Mathias' head touched, and began to point out the part.

"Why Cyriel?"

"It's okay, you sit down for a while"

Cyriel saw that half of the book was transparent and half of the book could still be seen, he then looked at Mathias who was focused on reading the book.

"No way...that..."

"Cyriel...do you know about Monarch? Who are they?"

Cyriel was surprised by Mathias' call because he had been thinking for a long time.

"Monarch? They are the strongest magicians' union gathered from the agreement of the entire world's alliance, namely the United Nations Association, they have seven members, each of their powers is S class"

Mathias swallowed his saliva, while Cyriel held his glasses.

"Monarch is one of the weapons of war, they have existed for 100 years...replaced by a new generation"

"All of us here including Riley, want to become Monarch after the old Monarch was replaced..."

"Do you want to join Monarch?"

Cyriel shook his head and smiled

"No, I have a reason for that"

"Why?"

"Because- Riley?"

Suddenly Riley appeared in front of the two of them, Mathias immediately stood up, while Cyriel was just stunned, Riley saw the library supervisor,he was scared and ran to close the door leaving the three of them.

"Riley..."

"I didn't expect Cyriel, you met Mathias before me"

"That was just a coincidence..."

Cyriel avoided eye contact with Riley, Riley just smiled and walked towards Mathias.

"So you must be Mathias Easton right? I met you"

Mathias tried to look at Cyriel who tried not to make eye contact, he immediately saw Riley who was in front of him.

"Nice to meet you Mathias"

Riley smiled as he extended his hand, Mathias could only smile awkwardly.

"This prince is tall...it could be dangerous for me if the two of us collide again anytime"

"Hmmm....ouh?"

Riley took the book from Mathias's desk

"History of wizards...I understand...what's the point of learning magic Mathias?"

Riley smiled slyly, Cyriel looked at Mathias who looked doubtful.

"I...I...just interested, I wasn't born that way..."

"Of course...because you're not from us, right? Nobles, you're not special here, just a cleaner"

Mathias felt his heart hurt hearing Riley's words, he only made eye contact with Riley and Cyriel.

Riley tried to hold back his laughter, Mathias seemed to hold back his tears, his dignity felt like he was being trampled on.

He tried to smile, trying to brighten the atmosphere, his body was shaking.

"Prince Riley was right, I'm an ordinary cleaner so I know my status I'm just an ordinary person, so please allow me to leave"

Mathias took his book and cleaning tools and left the library.

Riley just smiled then he took out his handkerchief, wiped the hand that shook Mathias's.

"Damn disgusting..."

Cyriel just stared sharply from behind Riley, up and down as if holding back anger.

"You're friends with a subordinate slave...Cyriel? Aren't you ashamed of your status as a Prince"

"You and the other princes are too obsessed with that status"

Cyriel left Riley in a state of anger, Riley just smiled before stomping on his desk.

He just smiled sarcastically before throwing all the books there.

"Cyriel..."

KNIGHT WOLF MEETING PLACE (UNDERGROUND)

Prince Leo (20) and the other seven were discussing Mathias.

The man with short black hair was just sitting in a relaxed position.

"Leo, have you heard about Cyriel fighting with Riley because of Mathias?"

"Today Cyriel didn't come to their place at all, he disappeared"

"So, have you investigated the matter of that boy Mathias?"

"Yup with the information about him"

Prince Gael (18) who was wearing glasses and dressed neatly gave a paper containing Mathias' information.

"Orphan...working since he was 8 years old everywhere, hahaha damn! He has a lot of work experience!!!"

Prince Damian (20) with blonde hair and green eyes laughed out loud.

"What's so funny Damian?"

Prince Relja (23) interrupted Damian's conversation, the muscular man just shook his head.

"There should be respect too Damian even though they are lower than us"

"Why do you want to respect the subordinates? Are you crazy Relja?!"

Damian scolded Relja with his opinion.

"You're welcome"

Leo could only shake his head at the behavior of the two of them.

"Does that boy have Gael's magic power?"

"It seems not, he wasn't born with it"

"But aren't you all surprised? How can a quiet and cold person like Cyriel, that boy talk to him?"

"Does Cyriel know something we don't know?"

The seven of them pondered what Prince Evander (24) said, and nodded in agreement.

"Cyriel is not an ordinary person, he was born into a family that understands military matters, it's not impossible that Cyriel knows something... and the information Gael gave about Mathias is incomplete"

Prince Xhesi (19) while holding the paper, he only gave his opinion.

"Black Roses must also be like us, trying to snatch Mathias, maybe they know something?"

"Prince Jan (22) is also following us? The leader of the Black Roses?"

"Mathias is only 16 years old, from my observation he is someone who is curious, common for his age... Jan also knows about it, so it is possible that he will ask other members to persuade Mathias"

"I can see Mathias' potential, there is no way he doesn't have magic power, my eyes saw his body flowing something white light, maybe the boy doesn't know yet"

"You found his power point Xhesi, are you sure?"

Xhesi was confident and convinced them all that what he saw was true.

"My eyes never lie, my power predictions are never wrong"

"What do you say I just find the boy and invite us to join this group? Riley just wants to bully the boy, we will help him become strong"

"Hey Leo, is what Cihan said true?! Are you crazy to bring that lowly boy?!"

Prince Cihan (23) slapped Damian's cheek hard.

"Stupid, there's a reason we need to persuade him, Leo wants Mathias to work under him for life"

Damian, who was holding back his anger while holding his cheek, was only surprised.

"Is that true, Leo?!"

"Yes...of course...why Damian? You refused?"

Damian didn't make eye contact with Leo and walked away while waving his hand

"That's not my power anymore, right Leo?"

Leo just smiled while drinking wine until Damian walked away, there was a figure who was still worried.

"Leo...that's a big risk, for me Mathias doesn't matter, what matters is how we take Cyriel from Riley, have you decided which of us to fight him?"

"Calm down Mircea, I've decided which of the seven of you will fight Cyriel..."

Prince Mircea (22) was surprised by Leo's statement.

"Have you chosen between us..."

"Yes...I'll tell you right now..."

"You don't want to wait for Damian?"

"No need, the person I chose is here..."

"Whether he chooses Cihan,Rejal or Xhesi...the three of them have a lot of magic, and Xhesi, that person can read the enemy's weak points with his eyes..."

Gael was just thinking in his heart as he was about to leave when Leo suddenly made up his mind.

"Gael, I choose you..."

"What??!!"

"Huh?!"

"Really?! Leo???"

The five of them were shocked as they looked at Leo with shocked expressions.

"Me?"

"Who else if not you, you can never show your strength again, right?

This is yourchance when you meets Cyriel..."

Gael holds his glasses,swallowing his saliva.

"Is he playing with me?"

WHILE IN A PLACE THAT CANNOT BE FOUND.

Mathias just holds back his tears, he eats his food slowly.

"What Prince Riley said is true, I'm just an ordinary subordinate"

"I can't be friends with people like them who are higher in status than me..."

"I'm really embarrassed...in front of Cyriel, he didn't even stop Riley from mocking me..."

"Willber is right, I shouldn't trust anyone here"

"Hey didn't you hear? Monarch is coming the day after tomorrow!!!"

"Woah is that true?!"

"Yes I'm not lying, my father said he came to visit his former teacher..."

"Cool, I want his autograph!!!"

"Me too!!! Break time is over!!! Come on!!!"

Mathias peeked at the conversation between the two students.

"Monarch?...want to come here?"

"This is a chance...for me to see it firsthand, is that so-called weapon of war really that powerful?"

Mathias, who was trying to walk, suddenly felt dizzy and his body was weak.

"I've been thinking too much lately...I have to go to Benedict..."

Mathias walked slowly while holding onto the wall to support him so he wouldn't fall, his goal was to go to Benedict to ask more about Monarch and the remaining power of the meteorite that was said to be in every corner of the world.
