The moon was still floating, the boy woke up tiredly reached for the old and worn towel, brushed his teeth and cleaned his small body, reached the toothbrush above by jumping.
Mathias Easton that was the name of the child who would change the future of the world without anyone expecting it including himself, the innocent boy continued to wear holey gloves while wearing a shabby hat.
Down the stairs to the ground floor, shabby walls filled with fungus, that was where he could only afford to work for himself as a gold miner who did not know his future.
"Mr. Willber!!!"
The bespectacled, pot-bellied man sitting at the table in front of the building door was surprised while wiping his saliva.
"Ouh Mathias!"
"Good Morning Mr. Easton!!!"
"Good morning...just a moment..."
Willber checked the long watch in his pocket, he was surprised.
"Mathias, it's still early in the morning...why are you in a hurry?"
The cheerful Mathias just smiled innocently.
"I heard from other miners, if you arrive early then the mine will yield a lot!!!"
"Is that so?...but...it's still 5 am...it's still dark out there, it's dangerous..."
Willber seemed worried about Mathias' condition who was physically small for his age.
"I'm fine Mr. Willber!!! Look, I brought this kerosene lamp!!!"
Mathias showed Willber, Willber just took a deep breath.
"Okay, be careful, Mathias"
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Willber, I'll go first, goodbye!!!"
"Poor child, born without magic...if he had magic at least it saved his life...but what can I do..God said otherwise...you are a strong child Mathias..."
Willber sympathized with Mathias, he held back tears so that the child wouldn't see him.
With a ragged cloth carrying his food, he walked in the quiet city early in the morning, his blue eyes fascinated by the beauty of the city even though he had walked there for the first time.
"Johnny said, if I mine first, it means I find the most!!!"
The bright blond child walked while jumping a little, only thinking positively.
"After all, this is the last day, I have to donate to the other miners for the guidance for these three years!!!"
After an hour and a half of walking, he finally arrived at the mining site, Mathias threw off his hat, and placed the ragged cloth in the gap of the wood, he began to wear a lamp on his head and take the tools to mine.
"Let's give our best, may God bless!!!"
Mathias walked with enthusiasm to the cave, he walked only accompanied by two lamps one on his head and one in his hand, while carrying heavy tools.
After ten minutes, he finally reached his chosen place.
"Hmm, looks like this is deep enough!!! well I have to work hard!!! for the last day of work!!!"
Meanwhile, Mathias's small hostel, the clock showed it was 7 am, Willber immediately opened the front door, and right on time, the mailman arrived.
"Is this the Willber Building?"
"Yes, why am I here???"
"A letter for Mathias Easton"
"Is it true?"
"The boy never got a letter while he was there"
Willber thought for a long time, the man took out a letter, the card was covered with a red envelope and gold writing.
"Thank you..."
Wilber looked excited to take the letter, when the mailman had left, Willber entered the hostel and sat down while looking for his glasses.
"To Mathias Easton... the writing on this envelope looks luxurious..."
He opened the letter
"To Mathias Easton... congratulations... because...?!!"
"Accepted to work!!! at Chrysus Academy!!!"
Willber then got up from his desk, sweating all over holding the letter tightly.
"Isn't that an academy?! The best enchanted academy of all time!!! Even many princes and nobles study there, it's an academy for boys only...does Mathias really want that"
"One mistake or offending the nobles he will be punished, they are considered pure blooded..."
Meanwhile, Mathias was eating breakfast with the miners, not knowing how his future would change.
"Mathias, you're early too!!! It's the last day of work!!!"
They joked, while eating delicious food together, the miners were three times Mathias' age, they considered Mathias like their family, the miners were ordinary humans who were not endowed with magical powers like him, looking for food using their own body power.
"So for the last day...I Mathias Aeston thank you!!!"
"Mathias..."
"I am honored, this is my vow to all of you whom I consider family!!!"
Mathias prepared more than 50 small bags filled with a lot of gold.
"This is my gift for you, don't tell the boss!!!"
Mathias' innocent smile made them cry, and they ran towards him.
"Mathias!!! We will miss you!!!"
"Hahaha me too!!! I will miss you all!!!"
"So where do you work?"
Mathias smiled confidently, pointing towards the highest mountain in the Kingdom of Louloúdia, they all looked in the direction Mathias pointed.
"Hey Mathias, isn't that the place"
"The place of Chrysus Academy?!!"
Mathias nodded innocently
"Yes!! I applied for a job as a janitor there, I happened to read the newspaper and intentionally filled in my name!!"
"But I'm not sure if I'll be accepted"
"Mathias!!! That place is dangerous!!!"
They all nodded when one of them warned Mathias.
"I heard that even commoners can't go there if they have business, only nobles, that is, holy blood, can go there!!"
"If you make a mistake that hurts their hearts, you can accept the consequences!!"
"Are you sure you want to go there Mathias?!"
Mathias just clasped his hands, he just smiled wearing his hat, the small boy looked excited.
"If they can give me money and a place to live I'm ready!!!, I just want to survive!!!"
"You guys! Pray for me!! so that I can survive at least a year!!!"
"Mathias...."
"Hmmm!!!"
They cheered loudly, then they ran towards him and hugged him while crying.
"Exemplary spirit!!!"
"Mathias, we're all praying for you!!"
"Oii the break is over!!! resume work!!!"
"Okay boss!!!"
"Come on Mathias!!! resume work!!!"
Mathias nodded, unaware that the night had finally arrived, he said his final farewell.
He returned home happily, holding three bags of gold he had found.
"Three bags of gold, enough for a year's expenses...good...I have to sleep early...I have important work tomorrow"
Finally Mathias arrived at his hostel, while waiting impatiently for Willber, Mathias gently reprimanded Willber.
"Mr. Willber!!! I'm home!!!"
"Ouhh Mathias, welcome home..."
"Ehh wait a minute!!!"
"What's wrong Mr. Willber?"
"Here's a letter for you"
Mr. Willber got up and gave Mathias the red envelope, Mathias opened it and read it.
He just smiled innocently, Willber was even surprised.
"Are you happy to get the job???"
"Yes I'm very happy, the salary is good and I get a free room if I work there"
"Mathias"
Willber bowed while holding his shoulder, he looked serious.
"Be careful... the children of important people in the world study there, don't hurt their feelings... and especially don't retaliate against their words, understand???"
Mathias saw Willber being serious for the first time, he just nodded in understanding.
"I understand Mr. Willber, thank you for the advice, I'll remember it"
Mathias also thought that the advice would save his life.
CHRYSUS ACADEMY
Several students were seen in a large, luxurious room holding a lot of papers.
"MATHIAS EASTON"
"Hey Riley look at this"
The student laughed, while being taken by Prince Riley, the future successor to this Kingdom.
"So the rumors about your people having nutritional problems are true... look, he's 16 years old, but still 165cm tall, while we're three years older than him"
Riley saw the job application letter Mathias filled out along with his picture, Riley stared at it for a long time, he tore up the paper.
"We'll take this boy... as our new servant"
The seven of them looked at each other and held back laughter.
THE NEXT MORNING.
Mathias woke up while packing his clothes to move, he arranged them neatly.
There was a knock on the door, Willber offered to help Mathias happily accepted Willber's invitation.
"Mathias, will you be invited?"
"I don't know either, but my heart says yes, maybe I'll be invited"
Willber just nodded in understanding, after dozens of minutes they were at the front door with their bags neatly arranged waiting for the arrival of the horsemen.
Mathias just stared for a long time, waiting patiently, Willber tried to break the silence.
"Mathias, do you know about the Witches here?"
"Witches? You mean Mr...about the category?"
Willber nodded, he tried to explain to Mathias.
"There are four levels of wizards, the third level is Wizard B, meaning they are new wizards, they can use magic but are still weak in using it, the second level is A, Wizard A can control a lot of magic"
"That means they can fight on a large scale without limits, can increase their energy when fighting and finally, the S level"
"Mathias if you are reprimanded by an S level Wizard, I hope you just accept their reprimand, and pretend to be good, because they are a tier above Wizards in terms of their intelligence and strength are equal"
"I hope you understand and think about the times when you want to make a decision"
Mathias just nodded in understanding, when they were too busy talking, the sound of horse hooves approached them, it was seen that the horse carriage had arrived.
The horse driver took out a paper and read it.
"Mathias Easton, you are qualified to work under the Chrysus Academy, we need your recognition"
Mathias looked at Willber and nodded in understanding.
"I am Mathias Easton, ready to serve at the Chrysus Academy, I am very honored"
The driver nodded in understanding, and took Mathias' bag.
"Please enter Mathias"
"Thank you"
Mathias entered the luxurious carriage, he waved his hand to Willber, Willber just smiled and smiled back.
"Mathias...
be enthusiastic and don't give up!!!"
"Wait a minute...I haven't told Mathias about the lower level F magician!!!, damn I'm late"
Willber took a deep breath, and continued to run to get a blank piece of paper.
"I know the academy doesn't accept ordinary people to enter there, but I can send a letter to him!!!"
CHRISTUS ACADEMY
"Riley, Mathias Easton will be here shortly"
The man with long white hair who was sitting alone in the big luxurious chair, just responded.
"I understand"
