Chapter 1

Albert is a 13 year old boy who recently lost his parents in an accident. After initial investigations, the knights investigating their deaths ruled it as a suicide, despite there being very little evidence pointing towards that. But there was nothing Albert could do, until a relative came forward. Elphonse Erigals is a high ranking noble who also heads the Crimson Tusks, an information network that has operatives in multiple kingdoms. Despite what the knights were saying, Elphonse believes that there is more to his sister's death than meets the eye. But in order to see the full picture, he realizes that he would need an extra set of eyes in The Freizaire Magic Academy. It's a hidden secret that there was bad blood between his sister and the current headmaster of the academy. But what he doesn't fully understand is why the kingdom would go to such lengths to hide the deaths of no names. He suspects that it has to do with the rumors surrounding Albert. Amongst high ranking officials, especially on the magical side, there have been talks that the Order of Creation might have lost a member. And if that were the case, whoever carried favor with the new member would not only have access to a lot of power, but also find themselves with a lot of influence. And with Albert being an S-rank Earth magician, the rumors of him being the were non-stop. So taking out his parents would be of little consequence. Was sending him to the Academy a bad idea? Maybe, but hopefully he could rely on his friend Bellius, an A-rank fire magician to hopefully keep him safe. He knew his daughters, Emilia and Rosaline adored their younger cousin, but he didn't want to put them in any unnecessary risks. Would the people working in the background make any moves, or was this just the musings of a paranoid old man with too many secrets.
