It is not known exactly what was said during that meeting because it was a private conversation.

But after finishing the meeting, the kings announced a change in geopolitics.

They would be dissolving the empires, giving territory to each region. This is how the kingdom of Legorio came into being, including.

They say they came to the conclusion that when there is a very powerful empire, it controls everything. And when there is more than one super-powerful empire, they fight until one of them is defeated.

So the conclusion they came to was that dissolving the empire would leave the world at peace.

Thus, the 3 great empires became kingdoms.

Even so, to this day, the three kingdoms, which were once empires, are the strongest in the world, both economically and militarily.

During the Great War, elves specialized in magic like no other race. They have become a reference when it comes to learning magic.

Demi-Humans have become masters in hand-to-hand combat, earning them recognition for their immense strength.

Humans were remembered for being the best at combat with swords and bows. Different styles of sword fighting were created, making everyone want to become swordsmen.

In fact, I read in a book that the Kingdom of Pandora created a unique style of swordsmanship, it seems that they even use a different type of sword!

The dwarves established themselves as the best blacksmiths in the world and got the much-desired mountain continent as a home.

The war had ended, but its consequences still remained and remain to this day.

One of them was the disagreements between the races, mainly between humans and elves. Even though they are almost non-existent, there is still intolerance between races.

The only 2 races that did not actively participate in the war were the Amazons and the Majins.

The Amazons did not participate, as they were always a small people, and there was no interest in participating in a war between powers. But some even went to the battlefield.

They are great at camouflage and survival, as well as knowing how to hunt very well, so this was something that helped in combat.

The other race is the Majins.

They are people who are different from everyone else.

Some call them the Demon Race, due to their appearance.

They have at least 2 horns on their heads; some have more than two arms, and their skin varies from red, purple, gray, violet, and burgundy.

The Majins were a race that was persecuted for a long time due to their similarities with the underworld creatures described in the books.

Tired of suffering, they gathered on the badlands continent and stayed there.

Nowadays, they are still on that continent, few go out to explore the world.

Even so, there is no kingdom made up of Majins, which makes the union between them very complicated.

Not to mention that the badlands are known for being a lawless continent, so things get even more difficult.

I think that was all I was studying during these months. There are other questions, for example, about the types of demi-humans, but I haven't delved into that much yet.

Since William and I started training in the forest, a month has passed, and our mana and magic are developing.

Training among the trees, I have a feeling that I'm ready to activate Thunder Magic!

"Hey, William." I speak softly.

"What?" says William, lowering his wand.

"I think I can activate Thunder Magic!" I answer.

He looks at me with concern.

"Are you going to faint like me?" He asks.

"I don't know, but I have to try!" I say.

"But what if you pass out, who's going to take you home?" He says worriedly.

He's right. Even though I have the feeling of having necessary mana, I don't know if I will stay conscious...

"Let's go home. I'll try this in the backyard." I say as I walk out of the forest.

"Okay..."

Walking along the dirt road, I observe the late afternoon sky.

The sun is setting, and the sky is orange.

Spaced clouds fill the sky, giving color and contrast to the sunlight.

Arriving home, I immediately open the door.

"MOM, I THINK I'M GOING TO FAIN SO COME HERE." I scream into the house.

After a few seconds, my mother appears agitated.

"What do you mean, you're going to faint?!" She asks with a worried expression.

"It's because I'm going to activate Thunder Magic, and you already saw what happened to William, right?" I say with a smile on my face.

"Are you crazy!?" She says as she leaves the house.

I end up going back and allowing him to pass.

Hera trips over her own foot and ends up falling to the ground.

I have to stop myself from laughing...

" Pff..." William lets out a breath and immediately covers his mouth.

Hera stands up and looks at him with a challenging look...

"Well, then I'm going to activate my thunder magic, and if something bad happens, you help me, you hear, mom??" I say with an innocent smile on my face.

Hera lets out a long sigh.

"If I say 'no', will you listen to me?" She says with regret in her voice.

"No!" I respond with a thumbs up and a smile.

"My gods... Okay, but if something worse happens, don't say I didn't warn you..." She says.

Going to the backyard, I stand, my whole body relaxed and my eyes closed.

I need to concentrate...

Using Earth and Forest Magic is easy, but Thunder Magic requires attention...

Identify where I want the magic to emerge, transform mana into magic...

Create an electric current from mana...

These sensations... I can do this!

Magic is a funny thing. It's like I had a question and the answer was right in front of me, but I never realized it.

And when I finally understood, I feel like I can do whatever I want.

With this whirlwind of perceptions, I reproduce everything I had imagined!

Focusing all my mana into my right hand, I begin to produce small lightning bolts.

More...

More...

More!

All the mana in my body is centralized at a single point—in my hand!

When I open my eyes, that feeling becomes reality.

There are so many rays in the center of my hand that it feels like I'm holding a star.

Little lightning bolts escape from my palm. All energy is concentrated in the center.

The rays don't hurt me, it's as if my body was made for it!

Sweat drips from my head.

My mana... is running out...

I need to deactivate the magic before I pass out...

What do I do!?

Do I fire this ball of lightning, or do I make it slowly lose strength?

Calm...

Dispel the magic... Let... the mana flow...

My vision is blurry...

I can't see William or Hera in front of me, they look like blurs...

Almost there...

I look at my hand...

The violent lightning energy slowly disappears.

Just a little more...

My vision is getting dark...

Just a little more!

I finally manage to dispel all magic!

My legs can't handle all the tiredness, and I end up falling backwards onto the grass.

I hear my mother saying something, she's probably worried...

I look at the blue sky while lying down...

The clouds slowly move to the sides, and twilight tinges the horizon.

At least I can see this beautiful sky...

Suddenly, my brother and mother appear in my vision.

''Are you okay, son!?" Hera asks.

"I think so... I just need to rest a little..." I reply with a sideways smile.

My vision is already returning to normal. Apparently, I stopped sweating.

However, I am feeling extremely tired, like never before.

It's like running a marathon...
