Chapter 32: Mazekin Dimitri(6)
Raul had been a Mazekin for about four years. At first, he was an F-ranked Mazekin who somehow passed the examination.
He was not from a rich, noble family and had no prior education. But no matter how small one's world is, they also have big dreams. Raul wanted to become a Royal Knight to serve the empire, but one thing stopped him from becoming one.
Talent.
An insurmountable wall—For countless others, it marked the end of their dreams, a cruel reminder that effort alone wasn't always enough.
This wall separated the remarkable from the unremarkable.
The gifted from the mediocre.
The elites from the common.
Raul knew this wall all too well. He had trained relentlessly, swinging his wooden sword until his hands bled—but effort alone wasn't enough.
Yet, he refused to break.
Raul instead became a Mazekin to support his sick father. To keep the flow of money stable. At first, he was weak and unremarkable, but somehow, he survived.
He walked forward, trained relentlessly and was able to go from an F-ranked Mazekin to a C+-ranked Mazekin. He was now contracted with the Ravenspire Guild, one of the top Guilds in Germainia. And was working with a stable earning.
