Chapter 22: Progress(2)
'Another day' Alicia let out a small breath before fixing her brown hair, her hazel eyes etched with a sense of dullness. It was just another day for her where she had to deal with travellers and drunkards visiting their tavern.
Occasionally, customers get into fights, causing tension in the Tavern and driving away other patrons. Some men view her with heavy, lascivious gazes, but she feels secure because her father owns the establishment.
But these days would be over soon.
Alicia was accepted into the Heldenstein Academy—A prestigious academy in the Capital City of Germainia Empire, Kairserhelm. The academy was mostly attended by children of noble families or sometimes even commoners who showed extraordinary talent and potential.
Like Alicia herself.
She may not be someone from a noble family to have a legacy but she had enough talent and proficiency in her Fire and Earth element to get accepted into the academy where commoners dream to get in. This would mean that her future is secured if she graduates from the academy.
Also, her blessing played a part in it—The Blessing of the Unyielding Flame.
A blessing is a divine gift given to the mortals by the Gods. It is different from legacies as it cannot be passed in the bloodline. Blessings are weaker than legacies they only provide small portions of the God's power.
A blessing can be various things—Weapons, armour, spells, and Mana boosts or Aura arts. For Alicia, her blessing is bestowed upon her by the God of the Eternal Flames, Volkrad. The same god whose legacy is carried by the Emberhold family.
Her Legacy allows her flames to grow stronger, the more fierce or longer the battle lasts.
