Late in the morning…
‘Thud… Thud… Thud…’ Kt woke up to the sound of Fire Kirin beating the door of the combat room with its hooves.
Startled by the sudd noise, Kt hurriedly oped the room door. His brain buzzed to reality as he stared at the dancing Kirin at the door.
“Sh*t, what time is it?” Kt held his head as he picked up the sky orb. “God, it’s too late. I need to be in school.” Kt muttered as he dashed towards the washroom.

In the sky family Magus school…
The big, stadium-sized ara is buzzing with noise. People are cheering loudly while shouting their idol names. Occasionally, there are magic fires in the sky, displaying the names of contestants who stood at the cter of the stadium.
All the elders of the school, including Thea, stood at the periphery of the ara, controlling the disciples.
At the cter of the ara, 3 disciples stood along with their pets. The Ara master cum The vice patriarch of the Sky family school, Master Ch, stood on a raised platform, ready to address the gathering.
Elder Cha, the lady responsible for ara matters and tournamt registrations, stood beside him, passing the list of contestants.
“Elder Cha, is everyone here already?” Master Ch asked, checking the names of the fighters who registered for the Secondary Magus competition.
“No, master. There is still one disciple missing. He is just a sixth-grade Magus who might be registered for fun. I think we should start without him.” Elder Cha replied, thinking about Kt.
The countdown is still running on the Aurora glass (the big glass scre-like big scre in modern-day soccer stadiums). “We will wait until the countdown. Is everything ready for the flag capture?” Master Ch asked with a serious look.
“Yes, Master Ch. We are all set to start the combat mapping.” Elder Cha replied respectfully.
Master Ch nodded while staring at the Aurora scre, which is displaying the remaining time left.
On the other side of the ara, Luna, along with all the other cheerleading groups, stood on a raised platform near the edge, holding glowing sticks. All the cheer-leading girls wore short clothes, revealing their curves, and they also needed flexibility while performing cheerleading stunts.
“Big sister Mo, who do you think will capture the gold flag this time?” Luna asked her sior sister while pulling her skirt higher.
“What type of question is that? Of course, it is the dazzling lady, Mia Snow. Look at her pet, no other pet could match the speed of her legdary rank, the Cloud Surfing Peacock.” Mo Z, the leader of the cheerleading group, replied in a confidt tone.
Luna took a glance at Mia Snow, who stood beside her pet in the cter of the stage. As the previous champion, no one could question Mia Snow’s strgth as a th-grade Magus.
“But sister Mo and young master Arul got a new pet from his family. Look at his fierce red python. I heard it can shoot fireballs.”
Luna added while pointing her finger at the handsome young man, who is the dream boy of many girls. His clothes and spiked-up hair add a stylish look to Arul.
“You two, how can you ignore the fat king? Look at his bull. Ev though it is not fast ough, I heard its sharp horns can kill any spirit beast.” Another lady who stood beside Luna added.
Instead of continuing their argumt, Mo Z changed the topic by asking about Kt. “Luna, what happed to your ex-classmate Kt? Do you know anything about him?”
Luna became angry after hearing Kt’s name. “Sister Mo, that day you cursed me for calling him pauper. Now look at the ara. Do you see him anywhere? That fellow registered his name for fun.
Also, he didn’t have his own pet. As far as I know, he didn’t ev own a house eagle as a pet.” Lucy said angrily as she noticed how Kt looked down on her during registration.
Mo Z kept silt, as she really didn’t see Kt in the competition ara. “Luna, I’m sorry for misjudging you. I thought you were badmouthing him. It seems like you are true. His ‘Rainbow brand’ clothes might be fake.” Mo replied while holding Luna’s hands.
But in the second, a loud cry reverberated in the sky, attracting everyone’s atttion.
“What’s that?!” Mo shouted while pointing at the glowing thing in the sky.
“It’s coming towards us.” Lucy muttered in a fearful tone.
All the elders, including Thea, got ready with their weapons, as they couldn’t see what was coming from the sky.
“Everyone, calm down.” Master Ch shouted as he saw Kt on the back of a glowing thing.
The commotion died down as fast as it rose. Now everyone saw the person who was riding the glowing thing. Wearing a crimson-red combat dress, Kt almost got mixed up in the fires of Kirin.
“Is he Kt?!” Thea, who kicked Kt out of the house, immediately recognized him as they shared bed from childhood.
“Luna, why did he look like your ex-classmate? Are you sure he is not Kt?” Mo Z asked while staring at Kt with infatuation.
Lucy had already lost her mind after seeing Kt in brand new combat clothes.
“Sister Mo, he is the new rich heir posted in the school forum.” The girl, who stood beside Mo, spoke in a surprised tone.

“Ric, isn’t he Kt?” Mona, who sat among the crowd with her boyfrid Ric, uttered it in the crowd.
Before Ric could reply, another fellow classmate responded in a mocking tone. “What happed to your brain, Mona? The person in the sky is a new young master who joined our school. Didn’t you see the school forum?”
“Also, you posted that the number one old suitcase of our school, Kt, as the new young master. Do you know how other class disciples mocked us for that post?” another added in a fiery tone.
As Kt and his fire Kirin descded towards the cter of the Ara, a hush fell over the crowd. The magnifict creature, ablaze with fiery ergy, emanated an aura of power and majesty that left the spectators in awe.
Gasps of disbelief escaped the lips of the disciples gathered a the ara, their eyes wide with astonishmt at the sight before them.
The pets of some of the other competitors whimpered and feared, ssing the overwhelming presce of Kt’s fire Kirin. Some ev attempted to flee the ara, their instincts urging them to escape the impding danger.
Especially, young master Arun’s red python, it hid behind Arul while its body shuddering in fear.
Meanwhile, Kt, clad in his crimson red combat attire, dismounted from his fiery steed with grace and poise. Despite being the only low-level Magus among the tth-level Magas, he exuded an air of confidce and determination that belied his status.
The ara buzzed with excitemt and chatter as most of the spectators failed to recognize Kt. After all, he was known as the “number one old suitcase” back in school, a moniker that hardly instilled fear or respect in others.
As whispers spread through the crowd about the mysterious newcomer, some ev dismissed the notion that he could be the infamous Kt.
Kt, who don’t know about the drama going on in the crowd, reached the cter of the ara on his Fire Kirin. freewёbnoνel.com
Just as he landed, the fire extinguished from the Fire Kirin, revealing its true form. He directly landed before Master Ch.
“Master, am I late for the competition?” Kt asked while getting down from the fire Kirin.
