Albert's Awakening (Apprentice Mage)

·         Albert starts off already knowing how to use the basic elements, but they’re so weak that he can only use them for basic life needs (cooking, freezing food, etc.).

·         He lives with his father, who’s an elite fire mage and collects a lot of old spell books. His mother lives in the capital as a doctor. He attends the Acadame but as a regular student. This takes place one year before the events in the main story, around the fall time.

·         He’s currently one of the weakest mages, and he’s unable to use healing staves.

·         He’s pressured by his father’s reputation to get stronger in his magic arts, but he’s trying his best.

·         He reads all of the books and practices each day, but no growth.

·         One day he finds a new book in his father’s study: The Lost Magic of Light.

·         He reads it and tries out a spell, but nothing happens. He continues to study it as the days go by.

·         One day he finally masters a light skill in secret and decides to present this skill for his upcoming examination.

·         As he’s about to head to the examination, some bullies take his book and runs off into the woods.

·         He chases after them, managing to take out a few of the lackeys.

·         The leader fights back and overcomes Albert.

·         Suddenly, a monster comes in and injures the bully mage.

·         Albert panics and hides. He then remembers his mother’s advice on being brave and fighting in his own way the best he can, and he remembers his father’s encouragement despite his failures.

·         He comes out of hiding and teleports himself and the bully out of danger.

·         He heals the bully and tells him to get help while he holds off the monster.

·         The bully runs off and Albert fights the monster using his unique tactics and newly awakened light powers.

·         As he battles, the mages stand back and watch his amazing battle potential, as he puts in every spell he can use to win.

·         He eventually tires out and gets cornered, but his father and the Wizard show up and drive the monster back into the deep woods.

·         Some healers go over and heal Albert. The bullies go over to check on him and apologize for what they done.

·         His father scolds him but gives him a hug and congratulates him. The Wizard decides to take in Albert as his apprentice and passes him as an approved mage.

·         Albert smiles and accepts the offer.

·         He writes about everything that happened in a letter and sends it to the post office.
