The girl is laughing while walking down the path. She's wearing normal winter clothes. She has thick silky straight blonde hair with a spark of light in them. She is white, with full lips her smile is the prettiest ganna has ever seen her eyes are the deepest ganna has ever lost to
Ganna whispers slightly
"Do you know her"
Shira takes a look at the girl and says
"Ye kina I've met her just yesterday"
As ganna hears the word kina he gets up slowly"she looks friendly"
"Yeah she is. Go and help her probably she'll be your friend too" said shira
"Okay thank you shira" ganna says in a fast pace and sprints towards the girl
The girl is waving to her friend leaving ganna closed the gap
The girl gets a slight look at ganna and her expression becomes confused
Ganna puts both his hand back up to his hips and says in a young voice"hi.. i am ganna i .. I can help you"
She takes a moment to respond but she says in a very soft voice "hi ganna i am kina. Friend?" she extended her arm up to handshake
A big smile came to his face as she brought her hand up without taking a minute ganna quickly handshakes her. They both smiled
After the handshake as ganna stands still pushing his boots toe against the soil kina's face changes as if she had forgotten something
"Oh ganna i have to go I'll see you again"She says and starts running while looking back for a second and opens her palm to wave ganna waves back as she slowly gets away
Ganna takes a deep breath and turns around
"She's nice" he mumbled
Ganna starts walking towards shira while feeling something he hasn't felt before as if someone has removed his body weight his chest feels lighter than ever
He reaches near the bench and sits beside shira "shira do you know magic"? Said ganna
His eyes narrowed and with a confused face shira said"magic"?
"Yes the magic tino does to kill monsters, don't you know?"said ganna
With relaxed facial muscles shira says"Oh elements"
"Oh yes?"ganna says
Shira rolls his eyes towards ganna and says
"I know 2 elements before even starting academ-
Wind pierced around ganna's ears as two hands covered his eyes and with a strange voice"guess who am I?"
"Uh tin-" the voice interrupts ganna
"I am ashua. How are you doing shira"
Turning his head up, ganna rolls his eyes up to see ashua"do you know shira?"
"Of course he is pretty smart"said ashua
Ashua puts his hand on ganna's shoulder and says"hey let's go. To get you admission at the academy"
"Academy?" Whispers ganna
"Don't you wanna bring the sun back?" Said ashua
Ganna's face changes and he said
"Eh but sun?. Academy like how?"
Ashua pulls his shoulders up
"Get up, I'll tell you on the way. Shira wanna come?"
"I'll see you tomorrow uncle"
Says shira
"Uncle?" said ganna
Ashua pulls ganna over the bench towards the soil and starts walking towards the street
"He calls me uncle as a nickname. you can too" said ashua
Ganna runs a bit to catch up the pace of ashua and says"no I'll give you a cooler nickname okay?"
Ashua turns his head to ganna with a small smile on his face he says'"okayyy now let's get you a admission. Wait actually you have to pass entrance exam first"
"Entrance exam?"
Said ganna
Ashua takes a small breath and said
"Yes at our time it wasn't like that but now. Yeah"
Ashua puts one hand at his elbow and the other pointing at the sky he says"there's three stages. Written. Fighting and something like uhh" he takes a moment staring at sky as if he's searching something and says"yes power measurement"
"Is it going to be hard?"
Said ganna rolling his eyes towards ashua hoping for the best
"Yes. In Fact it takes some kids years just to clear entrance exam"
Ashua said. While his face still like a stone
"Noooo" ganna says while covering his face with through palm pressing hard again his cheeks
"Hahaha don't worry there'll be shira to help you probably" ashua whispers in a low set voice"even kina"
Ganna's face turns red and he looks down at the soil, not being able to match eyes"how do u know kina…"
"They don't call me man of the dark for nothing" ashua laughs hard
"Oh looks like we reached the academy" said ashua
The academy. Ganna looks at it from far hundreds of kids with their parents surrounding the one with ink and paper the crowd is massive and so is the academy
Ganna swallows and speaks in a cracking voice
"I have to compete against them?"
Ashua pulls his head up and while pats the hair of ganna slightly he whispers"not all of them" in a much better voice he says "now go get your name filled from one of those counters I'll go see the dates"
"Okay"said ganna
Ganna starts moving towards the crowd the more he steps up the less he is scared he sees a man surrounded by kids he headed to him
The kids were shouting their name age ganna closed the gap and waits patiently for his turn
After a while the man looks at him, folds the paper and asks."What's your name"
"Ganna" he says
"Okay now your age," the man says
"8 no 7" said ganna
The man writes both details quickly and said "you use any weapons to fight"
"No?.." said ganna
"Great you're free to go now" the man says while writing down the details
Ganna starts getting back to ashua while pushing his way through the crowd he gets several pushes but he made it out
He sees ashua standing nearby a tree holding some kind of papers
He starts walking towards him while the constant voice of crowd began to grow as the time is running
He reaches ashua reading those paper"the test will start Tomorrow"
"Tomorrow?. I don't have any time to prepare"
Said ganna
Ashua puts his hand in the pocket for something and pulls out a golden looking watch. He takes a slight look at time and says "around twelve hours left I can teach you basics in four hours. For sure"
