glory seeker 11 I can't even begin to comprehend

Shin sobbed silently with his face planted to the pillow attempting to muffle his cries.

"Why," He said between the tears and sobs. "Why didn't you let me stay. why did you stay? why make someone weak your pupil. why." His cries turned to whispers. "why me? There were so many better people could have been chosen" Shin sat silent for a while. He began to remember his master and began to think "He knew...he knew that I wanted glory and he gave me the chance to get it."Shin's sniffled and wiped away his tears. " I cannot waste this chance given to me." Shin steeled himself. He must make the most of this. After a few moments of thanking Shu in his heart. Shin went to bed now exited for the classes to come.

In a chamber above Shin's room. a round table in a large room in occupied by 7 individuals. The large frame King was one of them sitting in the middle. One of the men in a black cloak began to speak.

"Is this information reliable? I mean he is nothing but a child! How could we trust him?" The man said. The King spoke "Shu would not give his blades up willingly. He chose this boy to take his place" The King said calmly.

"It could have been forcefully taken. The boy could be a spy from one of the grand master's." The man said worried for his King's judgment." there is something you all don't know about the other grand master's and I." The King said. "We, of course, have abilities beyond normal and some of us can even enchant." some of the men looked to each other in disbelief. Enchanting is a rare ability which takes concentration, and endurance.a country is sometimes measured by who has the best enchanters.

"Shu was one such person" The King continued "and he enchanted the blades with powerful enchantments. It is called *Message infusion* and something unknown at the moment." He stabs the knife into the table, and the bottom of the blade began to light up. A Video began to come from the light. it was the moment when he first showed the blades to Shin, up to Shu's death. "Do you all understand now?"The hooded figures began to nod their heads. "Good. Now that you understand I will be teaching the child from now on any objections?" The King looked around the room. No one objected and silence enveloped the room. "Good. Lessons will start tomorrow with Monsoon. That is all." the hooded men began to leave the room.

Shin who lay sleeping in his room sneezed himself awake " huh mhm" and jolted up before falling asleep again.

The next morning.

Shin woke up confused for a moment and then remembered the events if yesterday. Shin got up and got dressed in the clothes provided to him, but they were too big on him "I'm gonna have to talk to the king to see where I can get some smaller clothes" when he finished his sentence the clothes shrank to fit his body. "neat!" Shin said.

Shin was still getting ready when he heard a knock at the door. Shin opened the door to see a Buttler in a blue suit and a tall figure.

"Hello, master Shin I have come to accompany you to class by order of the King." The butler was bowing. "But before then." The butler put his arm out. " You must be starved. Please follow me to the dining room." The butler turned around and Shin followed and asked "Excuse me" "The butler looked at Shin "Is something not to your liking?" The butler asked. "No no, I just wanted to ask where my daggers are," Shin said waving his hand in a hasty manner. "Oh, you will be receiving them soon. Is that all?" The butler said with a grin. "yes thank you, mister..." "Sebastian" The butler cut Shin off while fixing his black hair.

After a short walk, the butler stopped next to the door leading to the dining room "The King awaits you inside I shall wait here." Sebastian bowed and pointed to the door "Thank you Sebastian" Shin said as he entered the room. As Shin entered he smelled a delicious aroma exiting the room. Shin's mouth began to water and his stomach began to growl. A voice rang out through the spacious room "Shin I'm glad your here" The King waved him to the other end of the table. "Here" The King passed the blades over to Shin. "these belong to you," The King said "Thank you," Shin said while putting the blades on."Now I'd like to speak to you about something" The King said "About what"Shin said curiosity present in his voice. "what do you know about spells?" The King asked.

"Not much" Shin replied. Since Shin only knew a basic healing spell he couldn't say that he was well versed on the topic of magic.

"Well since the class is gonna start soon I'll explain something to you quickly," The King said.

"And that Is?" Shin asked one eyebrow raised.

"That there is one thing a magic wielder must do in order to use his gift. All magic relies on comprehension without that magic won't work. low-level spells take a small amount of comprehension to learn but much more to enhance and learn better versions of those skills. keep that in mind when trying to study, or training a new spell. The better you comprehend the more likely you are to succeed. Understood?" The King explained the rules to Shin and add that Shin could visit the library if ever needed.

"Thank you Aceton this information will help me greatly" Shin bowed and politely excused himself from the dining room. Shin then followed Sebastian to the classroom.

"Have a good day master Shin" Sebastian bowed. "excuse me Sebastian" Sebastian turned his head to look at Shin "Please just call me Shin master seems pretentious" Shin said with a smirk. Sebastian blinked in surprise and then let out a chuckle "Ok then Shin. You'll fit in quite well here" Sebastian said remembering a young prince asking him the same. "Well have a nice day Shin." "Thank you," Shin said opening the door to the class.
