CHAPTER : 27 : THE SOLARITARIATE :
Location : Kingdom Of Valerion : Valerion Academy : Principal's Office :
" What did you say !!!! "
At this moment one after another the teachers in the room stood up from their chairs .
The shock of this information was just too much for them to sit still.
Even the principle couldn't help but be shocked a little at this point .
Afterall it about the light magic users .
If one were to compare the light magic and the Crystal magic in terms of being rare , then obviously the Crystal magic will win because it is a unique bloodline power of the royal family of Valerion .
But if we are talking about which one is more valued by the magical community then it would definitely be the light magic .
The light affinity is every special and what of its major advantages is known in the field of feeling magic .
Here one must first understand that the healing ability or magic is not something specifically related to light magic .
Yes ! it is true that the light magic is often associated with the art of healing and is considered the ideal form of healing magic .
But it is not exclusive to one type of magic alone .
Even fire type magic and water type magic have their own healing techniques .
These magics might be a little more crude and harder to learn but it exists and performs perfectly .
But the real advantage of the light magic healing techniques is the area of affect .
While the other techniques mostly heal a few people at a time the light magic healing technique can be used to heal multiple people at the same time .
This is an advantage of great magnitude especially when logistics becomes an issue .
Then there was the purification effect .
It was perhaps the most important part of the light magic .
The purification ability is one of the greatest asset against the dark magic of the Abyssal Kins.
Not only that anyone who has masterd the light affinity to a certain extent automatically becomes immune to the manipulating tactics of the dark magic .
And this also brings a lot of attention to the user .
Which can be both good and bad .
" How are we supposed to deal with this and what if ' they ' find about it . "
Even the principle looked a little troubled at this moment as he understood who are ' They ' in this situation .
" The Solaritariate ( The Order Of The Unfading Sun ) . "
Thinking about it even the strongest Wizard in the kingdom felt a little headache coming .
You must be thinking that whatever this organisation is , it must be powerful enough for them to be concerned .
Then you are thinking is absolutely correct .
The Order Of The Unfading Sun or also called the The Solaritariate is a holy order created long before the existence of the kingdom and has served as one of the most strongest spiritual groups of humanity in the continent of Aethelgrada .
They do not come under any kingdom or Empire and instead they act as an independent order with a separate military and government .
Now the question comes .
Are they bad people ? And if not then why is everyone in the room so concerned about it .
The answer to this question is quite complicated .
The short answer will be - No they are not bad people
In fact you can even say that they are one of the major protectors of humanity against the abyssal kins .
The exact history of the order is unknown but it is said that they have existed since the time of the first invasion by the Abyssal continent .
Even now they are one of the first responders whenever there is a trouble regarding the abyssal kins .
The Order also operates various kinds of institutions dedicated to healing and charity .
The best part about it is that the order does not care about who they are saving .
Any human no matter which kingdom or Empire they came from will be treated in their hospitals if there injured .
And not only that even non human races can get the same treatment .
Many people automatically think that the ' Order ' is appearly human centric organisation and always keeps a disdain full attitudes towards the non human races .
But this is not true as the order while always supporting humans peaceful and cooperative relationship elves , dwarfs , etc .
In terms of strength the order is also very strong .
If we are not looking at the hundreds and thousands of normal volunteers working for the order in total the order has around 40,000 official members .
And even among them they are set of 400 people who are the core members of the order .
These people are called the Sun - Sworn .
These people are elites with being both healers and warriors .
And now comes the problems related to it .
The biggest problem of the ORDER in the original series was not it was bad or anything else .
But it was simply because they are too rigid .
And more often than not there rigidness causes more damage than good .
The order follows strict codes that in the future the hero will directly went to headquarters of the order and it almost turned out in a big disaster .
Moreover the order had a strict rule of not interfereing with the internal and external matters of any Kingdom unless it was related to the Abyssal Kins .
But not everyone believe that especially when the order holds such as strong military force .
Another reason was that the Solaritariate recruits people from all around the continent from various kingdoms and empires under its wings .
And one of the rule set by the order is that anyone joining the order will no longer have any connection with their kingdoms or anyone else .
While this was so that no one in the order place any favouriteism towards a single entity it also made some bad impressions .
As many saw it as the Order trying to take away the young talents of their kingdoms .
And when it came to people with light magic the order becomes a little more forceful .
One must know that the entire order places a huge importance on people with light magic affinity .
And if you want to become the core member then you will need have the light magic .
But isn't light magic very rare to find ?
Then how does the Order has around 400 core members with light magic ?
The answer to this question is - Yes light magic is rare .
But one must remember that the order takes members from all around the continent over the years.
And while the light magic is rare if you search throughout billions of people than it is not that unbelievable to find that many members .
Their for the light magic is not for combat alone but it is more importantly related to it's healing , purification abilities and anti - corruption abilities .
And that was also the main concern of the principal .
" The order has special interest in light magic and it is the basic requirement to even enter their organisation as a core member . "
" And with the talent this boy is showing right now it is only a matter of time before he is scouted by them . "
" We can't let them take such a important talents from our Kingdom no matter what after all they are the kingdoms assets "
" Exactly !!!! Do they think that they can simply come here and take whoever they want . "
The mood among the people in the room was already clear .
The kingdom of Valerion had always been a good partner to the Order Of The Unfading Sun .
However that does not mean the kingdom would willingly hand over their young talents to them .
After all if they are important to the order there also important to the kingdom .
And taking them away would mean stripping the kingdom of a important future power source .
" Everyone calm down !!!! "
At this moment when everyone were shouting loudly declaring their intentions professor Flameworth spoke up , his voice calming the situation down .
" While I support the fact that we should stand strong in front of the order especially for our students we should also have a plan for it . "
" The ' Solaritariate ' is one of our key allies against the Abyssal Kins and as such we must plan carefully . " - he said making everyone looked at each other .
" Professor Flameworth is correct and I also support him on the matter . "
At that time surprising mamy even professor Frost spoke up in agreement with Liam Flameworth .
Listening to their words everyone else looked at each other and quickly calmed down .
And after thinking for sometime they felt it was reasonable and they were acted to emotionally just now .
After all the order was not bad inherently and it protected and help them against the Abyssal Kins .
Moreover there are other enemies out there who would be more than happy to see them have got conflicts against each other .
So they needed to take a more planned approach see the situation .
The principal who was listening to everything just now gave a solid look towards the two professors and then gave a small smile .
' They may fight and compete with each other all the time but they can work perfectly fine together whenever the need arises . '
He felt quite lucky to have such talented professors and students under him .
And along with the other professors and teachers who couldn't be present at this time even if he passed away the Academy would in good hands .
" Alright everyone we will keep this matter a secret among ourself and only tell the royal family for now . "
" If the Solaritariate find out we will just have to show them that the talents of the kingdom are not something they can take . "
" Is that clear !!!! "
" Yes sir !!!! "
With the principle himself deciding the matter everyone suddenly felt a renewed sense of determination .
With four people already mentioned it means there is only one last student left .
The teacher quickly step forward again and started saying again .
" Everyone is present here the last student that I think should be mentioned specially in this meeting is a boy from a small noble household from the borders . "
" His name is..... "
" Cian V Keolos !!!! "
