Swordmaster: The Origin
Royal Capital
[Year 3024, Kingdom of Heraclios, Typhae]
After turning 14, Nix will be sent to the Royal Capital to study at one of the Royal Magic Academies.
Nix was ready to go to the Capital with his chariot waiting in front of the house, now he was standing in front of his house looking at his parents with the intention to say goodbye to them.
"Dad, mom, I'm leaving first." Nix said goodbye.
His father and mother smiled at his son who was about to leave them to study in the Capital.
"I can't believe it, in just a short time. My little baby who used to cry had already become old enough to study at the royal magic academy." Nix's mother told him.
"Mother..." Nix muttered bitterly.
"Yes, make sure you study hard there, pursue your dreams and don't stop practicing to get stronger." Said Father.
"Of course, I will continue to train until I can one day defeat Father in 1 slash."
"Hoooh, I'm looking forward to where it really happened Nix." His father smiled.
"Don't just keep practicing, take care of your health and look for friends especially girls who might be your partner in the future." Nix's Mother.
"Ahahahaha, I'll try in finding a friend mom, but for the girl..."
"Don't linger in the search for a girl, because if it's too long. Unknowingly you're getting old and no other girl wants to be with you." Nix's mother told him.
"I-I know that..."
"Ahahahaha, it's hard to be young." Nix's father laughed.
"Hm?, do you not realize that you used to be like that too, dear?" Nix's Mother.
"Eh? really true?"
"Yes, you used to be so insensitive that it made me have to confess my feelings when you were 31.
"E-uh? I didn't expect it to be that long." Nix's father scratched his head.
After hearing a little chat from her parents, Nix immediately picked up her luggage and put it on the carriage.
After that, he immediately took a position to sit on one of his train benches and looked towards the window to see his parents who were still waiting for him.
"Then I'll go first." Nix said as he waved his hand
"Yes, don't forget to keep practicing." Said Father.
"And don't forget to find a friend and give Mom a letter!" Say Mother.
"Yes, I understand." Answer Nix
After hearing their message. The Horse Driver who was in front immediately ran his horse to immediately set off towards the Royal Capital.
Nix popped his head out of the window and waved his hand at Mother and Father who kept moving away from his sight.
Nix continued to look at them until his parents were nowhere to be seen.
"I'll miss them." Nix said as he looked towards his house.

[Year 3024, Capital of Heraklios Kingdom, Limos]
The journey to the royal capital of Heraclios takes up to 5 hours to arrive.
When it arrived at the gate, it was seen various horse carriages that were about to enter the city, ranging from noble and conglomerate class carriages, to Nix-class carriages that looked simple.
The luxurious-looking carriage mostly belonged to a noble student who attended the same school as his place, the magic academy.
Nobles are people with a special status obtained from the descendants through the achievements of their ancestors in the past.
Normally, noble status would be bestowed on someone or family who had contributed in helping the country to war before.
Therefore, most noble descendants are descendants of swordsmen or a famous caster in the past.
However, most nobles now considered their degrees higher when they did not perform the feats that their ancestors used to do.
The word is, they are just a name. And not doing any accomplishment. And that makes their nature to be arrogant and selfish towards ordinary people who are not classified as nobles.
Discrimination between ordinary people has become commonplace for the current social system, nobles who are royal descendants have the power to oppress those who are under them.
They can do anything as long as they have connections and money.
And in the magic academy that Nix will come to study, it is likely the biggest nest of selfish noble children.
Therefore, it was likely that Nix should anticipate meeting them, as Nix wanted to avoid trouble as much as possible.
While continuing to think about that, Nix was startled by the impact from beside his carriage.
*Shelf!* {Collision}
"?!"
Nix was surprised that there was a collision that hit his carriage from the side.
When he examined it from the window, there was a pair of luxurious golden-clad horse carriages that seemed to belong to someone quite wealthy.
Not long after the impact, the window of the train opened from the inside, and Nix saw a boy who seemed to be the same age as him there.
The boy put on an emotional face as well as disgusted while looking at Nix who was right beside him.
"Can you watch your path a little? you commoners." Said the boy from the window.
Nix knew that in the rules of this world, someone with more money and ability could freely rule and oppress those below them.
Before Nix became a Z-ranked Swordmaster, Nix often received insults and insults from people who had more power than him.
He had even been framed with a group of professional assassins just because he upset a noble.
With money and power, the rich can do anything to the people below, and they tend to be selfish and disgusted at people like Nix who are referred to as commoners.
Therefore, Nix already knew what to do if he met such a person.
The best thing to do is to obey and not fight, as it will only prolong the affairs if dealing with people like them.
"I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time." Nix said with his head down.
The boy smiled looking at Nix who lowered his head.
"You're not fighting? looks like you have a little brain in your head." Say the boy with a smile.
Nix just fell silent at the child's insults.
The boy who saw Nix showed no reaction, was annoyed and again insulted Nix.
"Boring, as expected of commoners. You can only obey and bow your head before those above you, for you are essentially nothing more than ants following the queen." The boy insulted Nix.
Nix remained silent and did not say a word.
After seeing Nix's reaction, the boy closed his window in annoyance and resumed his journey towards the Capital City.
"...."
Nix was silent to see the child's carriage away from his carriage.
Not long after, the train driver who saw the atmosphere had calmed down, facing backwards to ask Nix who was still silent inside the train.
"Th-lord? can we continue now?" Ask the driver to Nix.
Nix faced the train driver to reply.
"Yes, I'm sorry, you can continue now." Answer Nix.
After hearing his answer, the train driver immediately returned to run his horse towards the direction of the Capital.
"I wonder what will happen at the Academy later." Nix thought to himself.
