The Talentless Boy
In a world where magic determines everything, Luen was born a 'talentless'. Those without magic were considered lowly and doomed to a life of mediocrity. Growing up as a farmer's son in a rural village, Luen longed for magic, but the reality was harsh. One day, after being struck by lightning in a thunderstorm and surviving, he saw a blue flame emanating from his fingertips. In a moment that seemed to stop the world, he realized: “I... can use magic!”
Trials at Elpenia
The continent's premier magical school, Elpenia, took notice of his strange awakening, and Luen was admitted as an unprecedented “late-bloomer” transfer student. But at Elpenia, where most of the students come from noble families, he was shunned. Mocked, ignored, and deliberately failed. At night, Luen secretly retreated to the library, poring over magical texts and practicing over and over again. It wasn't until a class selecting contestants for a magic tournament that he first revealed his ability to amplify pure magic. The quiet classroom erupted in laughter.
In front of the entire school
, Luen took down the strongest of the strong, one by one. In an upset that no one expected, she faced a nobleman, the most powerful mage in the world, Kairon.
“You dare to compete against me?”
“I don't plan on losing from the start.”
Luen raised his hand and channeled his magic. A spear of blue light formed in thin air and flashed. In an instant, it shattered Kairon's shield. The arena fell silent, then erupted in cheers. "Ruen! Luen!"
After
, the name of the crystallized light, Luen was no longer a loner. He had friends, and his professors took notice. The boy who had proven himself shone brighter than anyone else.
“Real magic begins with a heart that never gives up.”
Now, he has taken his first steps as a wizard.
