This man was Rai jin, he continues to admire the beautiful girls and women as he walked back home, after taking a ride in Mu lan's Bugatti.
As he reached his house, he took off the glasses and entered, he met the house empty as his brother must have followed his mother to her work place. After getting rid of his clothes and finding something to eat, he jumps on the old couch and stare at the ceiling.
"The Magic Awakening will be taking place next month, I pray I have the talent so I can bring my family out poverty, when I become a Mage, I will become a hunter and hunt magical beasts, so I can use the money to take care of the family " Rai jin thought as he lied down on the couch.
When one becomes a Mage/knight, they are allowed the either join the military, or to become hunters, there are also people who join none of the following, but a rule has been made that mages are not to use their powers on ordinary humans.
Apart from Mages, there are also Knights, these knights use magic armors and weapons and channel their magic through their weapons, they can't use magic as versatilly as Mages but they are just as dangerous with their weapons.
To increase their level of magic, Mages have to cultivate their magic array, the magic array is the Nebula that exists in a mage's body, when a person first awakens magic, the light of a beginner is like the light of a fire fly, small and tiny, and beginner mages are only able to cast beginner level spells, until the energy in their nebula runs out, to increase their levels.
Mages have to cultivate by absorbing the elemental affinities that exists in the air with their will into their magic array, to make it grow bigger, but this is not as simple as it sounds, it is a strenuous that takes too long, if no other means is adapted , before a beginner mage can become an intermediate mage, it would take years, and so mages use special cultivation tools made from beast crystals to cultivate faster.
For the knights, they have to absorb the energy in the crystal of magical beasts to increase their own levels and at the same time upgrade their weapons and armors,
There are different elements in the world with the primary ones being Fire, Ice, Wind, Water and Earth.
People tend to awaken more elements as he or she evolves in grade, when a beginner mage becomes an intermediate mage, the magic array expands, from the light of a fire fly, it becomes the size of a football, and when the mage awakens his second elements, he is able to use intermediate spells immediately.
Mages use spells books to channel their magic, some particular formations in the spell books has to be followed before a mage can use a particular spell, some mages tend to create special magic that belongs only to them, but in history, only one in a thousand mages has been able to do that.

Late at night, Rai Jin's mother came back, and Rai jin could see the gloomy look on her face, and so after his brother Rai bin had gone to sleep, he approached her to inquire from her the reason she was so down.
"Mom, what's wrong, why is your face so gloomy" raijin asked as he sat opposite his mother in their old dinning table.
"Nothing is wrong, Rai jin you worry too much" his mother replied as she quickly tried to hide the gloomy look on her face.
Rai Jin's mother 'Murana', didn't have the talent to become a mage, but Rai Jin's father did, and after he became a mag, in accordance with the love he had for his liver, he married her and they gave birth to both of their sons.
But Rai Jin's father Rai Manyan, mysteriously disappeared, three days after the birth of his second son, seven years has passed since then but still no news has been heard about him.
"I can clearly see your face mother, don't make me become like Mr Ken" Rai jin said rolling his eyes.
"Huh, Mr Ken....., isn't that your teacher?"
"Yes, he is, but don't try to change the topic"
"Hmmn" Murana breathed heavily.
" You know the rent of the house, will be due by next month and the landlord is already reminding me to make sure I pay this time around or else he will chase us out" Murana said gloomily.
"I have always told you mother,, I can get you this money anytime you want, you just have to confide in me"
"No! I don't want you to take any money from Mu lan, we will get out of this ourselves" Murana replied decisively.
" Ok mum, I promise not to, lest I forget the magic Awakening would be taking place next month, don't worry mom, I will awaken my first element, become a hunter, then I will take good care of you and Rai bin" Rai jin proclaimed confidently.
"My son, even if you don't have the talent, I have complete faith in you"
"No mum, I will, trust me!" Rai jin declared confidently, as he banged his chest confidently.
" Ok Rai jin, now go get some sleep"Murana said yawning.
"Ok mum, goodnight".
