The Mysterious Hero
1. Legend of Ground Element Controller

"Hey do you know the rumors that are circulating behind this?"

"What rumors?"

In front of a diner, three cool girls were chatting while enjoying their food. The first girl was a water witch. He wears a blue-colored robe and a magic wand with an aquamarine crystal ball at his tip. Her hair was long black with a light blue flower hairpin.

The second girl was wearing black clothes with her hair tied to the right side and carrying a sword on her back. It was obvious that he was an assassin.

The third girl was an Elf with her distinctive pointed ears and beautiful light green iris eyes. The Elf girl had short blonde hair with green ends.

Apparently, the three of them were adventurers who were stopping by the city after completing their mission.

"About the legend of earth element controllers?" Asked the Elf girl while drinking her drink.

"Oh! Which has been a hot topic lately? About the appearance of the earth element magic controller, right?" The assassin looked enthusiastic. He was quite curious about whether the rumors were true or not. Some information he had already obtained, but it was still not enough to make him completely sure.

The water witch nodded and whispered a little. "When we fought monsters to complete the mission in the dark forest before, I accidentally saw a earth element witch!"

BRACKET!

The assassin girl clasped the table while staring in surprise and disbelief, ignoring the gazes of the people that were pointing at her. "What?! You're not kidding, are you?" Ask her with a serious face.

The Elf girl added. "You're sure he didn't use a magic tool? Now there are many magic tools made to strengthen magic, right? A person born without magic can become a witch now." Saying Elf girl. He took the chips in front of him and ate them while looking at the witch with an uninterested look.

Technology and magic are advancing now. Many magic tools such as sticks and so on are sold freely in every kingdom. Even people who are born without magic can have magic by using magic tools.

"I'm not lying! I don't see him using any magic tools!"

"I can't believe it. Could he have used a magic ring?"

"I'm sure he didn't use any magic tools. After all, if you use a magic tool, the magic power is only up to level 3, right? But until it is able to control such a ground golem, instead of requiring at least level 5 to make it move as the user wishes?"

Having her friend find something interesting, the Elf girl begins to listen. All he knew, magic tools were only able to cast magic at the maximum to reach level 3. Coupled with the difficulty of controlling earth element magic, making a golem that could be moved with just his controlling mind would certainly require powerful magic. "But didn't the earth element controllers disappear 5 centuries ago? No one knows why they disappeared, as if they vanished without a remnant."

"Therefore from now on no witch can control the element of the land." The assassin girl continued. "Even a child born with that element can't live long, right?"

Of course it is not surprising anymore, for all children born with the power of the earth element will not be able to live long. Usually they will die at birth or still in the womb. Some say it's because they can't control that power, but some say it's for other reasons, but for sure it's still unknown until now.

"I know, but when I tried to get close to him, he disappeared. Which I saw... She has beautiful golden eyes."

"I don't think so." Hearing the repulsion of the Elf girl, his two friends then looked towards her." My grandmother said, before the whole earth element controller disappeared, there was a catastrophe coming. The appearance of the earth element controller is predicted to drive out the catastrophe that will befall all creatures in the world."

"So rich refuse that?" Sahut the assassin.

"Rubber. At a time when the other element controllers are already unable to deal with the problems and disasters that hit this world, that's when the Earth element controller comes as a hero who will save the world from destruction."

"If so, does that mean there's a danger lurking around all the creatures in the world?" Ask the witch.

The Elf girl nodded. He looked at his two comrades seriously. "It's probably that. But what is it... There's still no ta-"

"Excuse me, here's your order." Suddenly a young man with black hair came while bringing dessert the three girls the message earlier. The arrival of the young man was enough to make all three of them shocked. The reason was, they did not feel the magic aura of the young man at all.

The magician awakens from his daydream and smiles. "Thank you very much."

"By the way, you guys seem to be interested in that earth element controlling legend huh?" Ask the young man.

"Yeah. We're just a little interested." Sahut the assassin who was immediately responded to the nod by his two colleagues.

"If so, let me tell you a little secret. I happen to be an adventurer just like you guys. According to the ancient book I had read, the earth element controller did not disappear, but hid and kept watch in silence. Waiting for the right time to get rid of the impending doom to this world. Among them, there is one person who is referred to as a hero with great power who is tasked to protect the world. That's all I know. Please keep it a secret." Said the young man while putting his index finger near his lips and winking his eyes.

Then the young man slightly lowered his head and returned to his duties as a servant, serving the other customers. While the three girls were still silent. Until finally one of them woke up.

"Wow... We have some very good information!" Said the witch.

The assassin girl nodded. "But how did he know about it? But..." The girl seemed to notice the young man who was serving the other buyers with his sweet and charming smile. "She's no stranger."

The two of his comrades again looked at the young man. "Isn't he Ruka? Ruka Leilas, the youth with the number one beauty in Sagya Kingdom." Said the Elf girl who immediately made her two colleagues look seriously at her.

"Beauty? She a girl?" Ask the witch.

"No, he's a man. Just because of her beauty, not only beat men, but also beat women." Said the Elf girl.

There's point. If he noticed, the young man's appearance was so beautiful, but also impressed mysteriously in his eyes. The sparkling golden iris was able to make others as if hypnotized by her beauty.

"But... Didn't he become the head of the security agency at Star Magic Academy? The largest academy in the Kingdom of Sagya. What's he doing here?"

"Yes too..."
