Gradually, the power of Magic began to be felt in the human world. They began to feel strange changes in their bodies.

Incidents of people having trouble sleeping occur in various places. Since the Republic of Ascaria was the closest place to Magic, it was the country that felt the effects the fastest.

However, that doesn't mean there isn't an effect of the rise of Magic in other countries. They feel the same way. It's just that the number of people starting to feel the symptoms of Magic Awakening isn't as many as in Ascaria.

After all, Magic experiments, Elf invasions, and leaks from the dimension of the cursed tree happened in this country. So it's only normal that it's in this country that Magic awakening happens faster than in other countries.

And don't forget the fact that in this country there is also a Dragon. That was definitely an important factor that determined the rise of Magic in this country.

Adrien and Billy were the two people who most clearly felt the awakening of Magic in their souls. However, they can control themselves more easily because they are always with Erend.

Time went on until finally, phenomena about the strange things that happened to the bodies of the citizens of the country began to surface.

However, for now, all of that is still unclear news and only a topic of conversation in their environment. No one has opened up to provide information because they are still not sure about what they are experiencing.

Are these just symptoms of mild mental illness? Or something else? Or even nothing at all.

The bewildered humans still knew nothing. So they didn't say anything either.

Until finally, several criminal acts began to occur and appeared in the media.

"A family is reported to have been the victim of a cruel murder committed by a man who suddenly broke into their house in the middle of the night..."

"A police officer shot a cyclist this afternoon at 11.00 am. The victim was pronounced dead on the spot due to a shot in the head..."

"Seventeen-year-old teenager shot dozens of people at his school with a shotgun..."

Various news about the crimes that occurred began to appear frequently on TV. All societies do not consider it a sign of anything other than human nature which is getting more and more depraved day by day.

They think it is human nature. Something that is already present in humans and can awaken at any time after the slightest push, or because it cannot resist the temptation of the animal's desires.

However, while others feel that the rising crime rate is not something to worry too much about, some know better than that.

Erend was sitting on the couch in his new house watching TV. Night had come and made the city of Ascan which was bustling before during the day a little quieter.

Even though life at night cannot be said to be quiet condition because there are still many activities carried out by people, at night the city does become a little quieter. Especially after news of the escalating crime was broadcast.

On the TV that Erend is watching, he is also watching a news report on the murder of a teenage girl.

Arty came with a worried face and sat down next to him.

"Is it all because of that Magic awakening?" Arty asked. Her tone sounded normal. However, she still felt anxiety in her heart, and Erend knew about it.

"Don't worry. We'll be fine," said Erend.

Arty turned to him. "I don't know what Magic power you awakened yet."

Erend had told Arty that he had awakened the Magic in his body. However, Erend hasn't said what Magic he has yet.

He didn't know how shocked Arty would be when he found out he had the power of a Dragon in him.

But Erend knew that eventually, she would find out about it.

"If you want me to believe that you can protect me and Mom, I should at least know about your power, right?" Arty demanded more and more clarity.

"Yeah, all right." Erend sighed. "I have the power of a Dragon."

Upon hearing that, Arty blinked her eyes quickly. "As... The mythical creature?"

"Yes." Erend nodded. "That Dragon."

Even just from the stories she had heard, Arty could see a picture of the power of a Dragon.

Of course, she thought the stories were too incredible to be true. Because it's a fantasy.

However, she no longer saw it that way when she started noticing all the strange things that were happening.

Elves, Magic, and now Magic's awakening. Arty was getting used to it all.

"Well, I guess... I really don't need to worry," Arty said.

Erend smiled seeing that his sister was able to take it well and faster than he thought.

"Soon, you will also start practicing using Magic," Erend said.

Arty had already noticed the awakening of Magic within her. Erend had said that many strange things would happen to Herdan every time it would get worse.

"You will teach me?" Arty asked while looking at Erend.

"No. Not me," replied Erend. "You will be a bit surprised when you find out who is going to teach you."

Arty looked at Erend with a frown. She wondered who exactly would be teaching her until Erend said that anyone would be able to surprise her.

~~~

And then, days passed until finally the time they promised to start practicing using Magic arrived.

Arty wasn't too surprised when he saw that Billy and Adrien would also be participating in this training.

Erend had told her that they would be coming along and Arty knew that after all, they were quite close to each other. Therefore, what happened to Erend would most likely happen to them as well.

They rented a former dojo building which is now closed. This place is quite wide, so they feel they can be more flexible in doing this exercise.

Arty flinched in surprise when she saw a portal suddenly appear in front of them. From the portal came two elves.

Arty's eyes widened as he saw the two Elves arriving.
