My blood my sword
A difficult beginning

Along the way Rei pondered and looked out the window of the horse carriage, Buga's uncle rebuked him and asked what was the matter, why was Rei so anxious, so much so, Rei sighed and said that he was still hesitant to study outside of his family's territory

then his uncle convinced him that this was the best way to find his identity, Rei still denied he said that education from his family is the best and that is his identity, but Uncle Buga shook his head, he then said

"for a long time you've only been hiding behind your family's identity, not believing in yourself, after all one can know what he is like when he has many comparisons and he can say that it belongs to no one including the family, a person will also say the best thing on something easily if he sees something that is without comparison"

Rei considered the words of his uncle Buga, Rei asked his uncle why he could be so close to his family when his family was very closed, and then easily Buga's uncle said that it was his choice

Rei put on an astonished face, "why could it be just by choice, if there is nothing more logical or superior so, such as reciprocity, love, or anything else" asked Rei

Uncle Buga again explained what is a choice, the choice is not just something offered by others or because of others, the uncle has seen the world and all options lined up without anyone, the owner, not because of his gratitude or admiration, this is only the choice that he feels best, while laughing lightly saying that uncle is indeed a strange person, then Rei nodded slowly

His uncle again asked why Rei did not ask uncle to listen closely to the George Eden family, Rei began to want to revise his question and say why the uncle chose to be close to his family, Rei said, uncle says because he likes people who don't interfere in other people's affairs and give without telling anyone.

Rei began to realize something why his family is not too famous in general, it is because their nature is not the same as other nobles, selfish, but also good.

The horse carriage had already arrived in front of the Great Tower, the two of them descended the carriage and walked in with many other students, Rei waved as he was about to enter the hall at Uncle Buga, who was about to enter the hall, their meeting only got here but Rei seemed to have started to have an interest in going to school, that short conversation made Rei excited to start his adventure outside of his magnificent castle

The hall filled the new children with still carrying their big bags, class divisions began, all took the magic paper that would determine they would enter class A, B, C, D, E, or F.

Rei entered class F, after which they packed into their respective residences according to their class and exited the hall.

Rai entered his residence, as all rushed in there were some children who were amazed at the room of the residence they were going to occupy. Of the several children there was 1 who looked very striking, Rei approached him, Rei reached out his hand and the boy wiped his hand and shook Rei's hand, shaking his hand, Rei introduces himself as Reizakiel Aswaraiga (uncle Buga clan), he also says that his uncle brought him to this school, then the boy introduces himself as Felix Roretro the youngest son of the Roretro family, who is the youngest of the Roretro family, Rei had read from the noble name book and it seemed like the Roretro family was a noble family that had a bit of territory and it was only their own family farm area, it can be said that this family is not politically famous but gets the title of trade and loyalty to the kingdom only.

Rei invited her to speak while looking for an empty room, it seemed like they had agreed to one room

Menara Agung School is not a clean school without stains, of course there is a bribery event, for class selection is random according to the paper they choose but for children who have money they can buy classes to be with friends they choose usually class A, B, and so on, and C the students are few, that's because the children of nobles who pay will be many who buy the class, this is not a pure rule of the school but the manipulation of the system by the interested person, because the facilities were the same so no one would be able to report let alone the mastermind behind these were all nobles, it was no secret that nobles continued to suppress the empire but still wore beautiful masks in front of the general public

The first day passed easily and they entered on the second day, all the children start to get into their respective classes and take the level measuring magic paper it aims to measure how good they are before getting into school,

The noble children usually have a high level because they must get an early education from the best teachers in their families, children who excel must also have a good level because they enter through the level path. While the child innate has a low level possibility because it does not have a special education like the nobles and innate levels such as achievement path children, who have no special education, all of them grasped their respective papers and after the paper was opened then the paper would disappear and appear a level number on their wrists, the level is visible if the child is willing to see it or show it

Not feeling that the hour of rest had arrived and all the children began to gossip about the highest level, Felix whispered to Rei, he was curious who had such a high level, he said, Rei just smiled and began to say a typical joke father father crisp but even though it was only Felix so laugh, Rei felt proud because no one had ever laughed because of his crisp jokes before.

When the laughter disappeared when Robet Bischel and his friends harassed Felix, they pulled Felix on the shoulder and humiliated him, saying that Felix was a poor, shabby farm boy, he said Felix should not be able to enter this elite school, Rei tried to defend Felix but he also got bullied because he did not have a clan

Robet says that all knowing that the Aswaraiga family has no children of their age, Rei tries to contain his anger and let himself in the banter, he also fights them without magic and identity, Rei felt that he was really weak without family and hereditary strength, he had no skills that could be used in the outside world

Felix was forced to give all the children his level and Felix's level was only 86, it was a very low level, because Felix came from a farming family so Felix only learned about farming and did not learn anything else, his magic was just magic for plants, too, then Rei was also forced to show his level but Rei refused until he was battered he remained silent, until a handsome and brave boy defended them, he was Yusha Amberto,

At first Robet bullies him too with words of diatribe but Yusha replies neatly, he says if Robet can only hide behind the big name of his family, if he can not do anything else.

Sakilas Rei remembers his uncle's words, and Yusha challenges Robet to a level fight. Robet was silent for a moment, he thought anxiously, he knew that there was a level 670 but it was only 1 person, and the highest level he knew was level 430, he knew that there was a level 430, even then, held by Zanet, an old witch student, what if Yusha was the one, but his friend whispered that Yusha from Class A was impossible for him, because the owner of level 670 was in class F.

With a pede he then supported her, he immediately showed her his level of 320 and said only magicians have levels on it, all his comrades cheered for him, and all his friends cheered for him, then Yusha pulled up his sleeve and showed his level of 447, everyone was dumbfounded and Yusha took the 2 poor children away.

Yusha briefly introduced his name and family, he was from among the noble knight family, he did not have any friends here because he was not used to interacting with children his age, usually he only trained with the knights, Rei nodded, he understood why Yusha's level could be high compared to other children, then Rei asked Rei and Felix.

Rei introduces himself as the identity he entered the school and says that he entered through the innate path, while Felix just quietly, lethargic, Yusha understood what Felix was feeling so he did not ask further, which he wondered why Rei was relaxed when he had just been bullied, but he did not really question it, he immediately resigned after driving the two to their house and rushed to the student to ask to move class F because they did not want to be together and Robet, it was as easy as that top-level nobles chose their class.

Back to the three of them.

The night Rei fell to heal his own wounds while thinking about many things from the incident earlier, he was determined not to give up because of the many interesting things in this outside world, in the midst of his calm self-healing he heard the sound of crying in Felix's bed, he just thought for sure Felix also felt pain from the blow earlier, he intended to treat Felix too.

He walked up to Felix's bed, and seeing that Felix was already sobbing with tears and snot, Rei asked what the wound was but Felix who closed his eyes was immediately shocked, he sat down and said sorry for interrupting, he thought Rei was asleep, Rei looked for wounds on Felix's body and treated him one by one

Felix asks what his skills are, and Rei says yes with a laugh he continues that this is all he can show, nothing special, then Felix says he will go home, Rei stopped and asked again what was the matter, not Felix happy to go to school here, Felix said he didn't even have any ability here, if he survives, there may be many who will laugh at his family, he wants to hide, if he has one thing to survive, Rei says that he will have Rei his best friend, and he also meant a lot because he was Rei's first best friend, Felix chuckled,

Rei couldn't let his only friend out of this great tower, he said he couldn't do anything, he needed a friend he could trust, as a sign of friendship Rei gives one of his secrets to Felix, and at that moment Felix hears and sees what is Rei's secret
