Chapter 16: Goal
-Whistle!
The beautiful landscapes of the countryside came into my view—a blue sky with white clouds stretched across the horizon, the cattle grazed in the planes, and the cattleman walking with them making sure the cattle don't make a run for it. The mountains with snow on their peaks stayed at a distance mingling among the clouds.
I turned my gaze towards the inside of the train, spotting various people on their way to their homes or to visit someone. Chatter echoed in the whole train car, as it moved swiftly on the rail tracks.
Trains in this world were not operated by steam engines—it was, you guessed it, Mana Stones. The trains use the mana stored in the Mana stones and use it as fuel to run the engine.
And Mana stone is a very highly available and affordable resource too, it is mostly mined in dungeons or ruins and sometimes can be crafted through the core of Mana beasts—which are plenty in this world.
And if no beasts—don't worry Mana cores of Criminals can be used too, but just rendering them unable to use mana.
Back to my plan which had succeeded with little problem other than burning the estate garden and saving a side character—everything was going according to my plan, which was good.
And as for the Blitzfeld searching for me, I can just tell Aunt Josephine to keep quiet about me and hide me until the academy begins which is 6 months and 2 weeks from now. Until then I plan to train under Noah's—No, my eldest brother Micheal Von Blitzfeld also known as the Prodigy of The Storm.
Big Brother Micheal or Mic as Noah used to call him, was known as a prodigy who only appeared once in an Era. The reason for that is his Resonance with the Legacy that is bestowed upon him.
Legacy in the world of Elmar can be called 'Divine Inheritance', an essence or fragment of a God's powers given to mortals, allowing the nimble mortals to use their powers. And legacy resonance is the connection of one with their legacy. Which is divided into stages.
After awakening their legacy, the first stage is the Dormant Stage—in this stage the person who had unlocked their cannot directly use its power but can feel it. Also, their element or any other art related to the Legacy gets a boost.
