Chapter 5 - Encounter with The Emperor.

*After Arthur's training Raven was satisfied by his progress yet, which included Arthur's suspicion that God's were returning back to current time and the legends were true but still something concerned him. Raven was able to notice Arthur's confusion and a look that could only mean one question, "Why was he chosen?", A question that was odd for Arthur, holding the fact of him not knowing his origin and his situation being a random orphan in an run down orphanage. Raven couldn't answer his question not only because he had used his authority for the day, but also because answering Arthur's question would have been much more complicated for him then what could be imagined.

Arthur, lost in his own thoughts started answering his own question with the most possible answers that either the God who has been awakened is a new God or a weak one [which was part true] or that he was special in a way he didn't know about [which was the real reason], as he continued to ponder he heard the noise of a fight breaking out nearby and just from the noise Arthur could tell it was bad.

Running to the location to the ruckus, he say kids from his orphanage getting beaten up some kids in luxury attire [probably Nobels] with their teachers in the area paining no attention to this. Arthur didn't know what to do when he heard a line from the bullies "Peasants like you shouldn't be stealing gold", the bullies were trying to steal the money Arthur gave to the kids of the orphanage. Arthur was struck with rage, without his own knowledge he attacked the Nobels who were on " Volunteer duty" according to the Academy's rules. The knights tried to stop Arthur, but he unknowingly in rage had already activated his Skill "Preyer" and was preying to at least knock some sense into these arrogant Nobels who were bullied and trying to steal from the poor. In rage Arthur knocked two knights out, bust a the bully's nose and broke an Knight's sword with his hands. It just happened to be the day the Emperor's second son, Adrian El Aradon was also a part of the volunteer duty program and say how the kid from a poor orphanage was being bullied and how Arthur was radiating a white aura as well as his super human strength. Even for Royal knights stopping Arthur was a pain, but they did it.

All including Arthur and everyone from the orphanage was arrested and Arthur was presented in front of the Emperor Duke El Aradon and his first son Darius El Aradon. After hearing everything from Adrian the Emperor decided the Arthur didn't do anything wrong, but questioned how Arthur was able to use Aura, being that Aura arts was rare mostly only taught to Nobels and Royals with the exception of knights with high achievements.

Raven had noticed that even the princess had arrived to see Arthur's hearing being that the news of a kid bearly 16 or so having defeated trained knights had reached far in a single day. Raven also noticed that Arthur couldn't lie because the Royal magician had casted a spell on him which didn't allow for lies to pass the mouth. Arthur's faced started to get pain as Raven's voice echoed in the Royal Hall, as thing seems to hold still*

Raven : Emperor of Aradon, Duke El Aradon. The child you hold captive is my first chosen one, humble yourself and let him go or you would have to face the wrath of a God! I had chosen your Empire to be my returning location, but if you truly don't value this chance I would have to choose a different Empire among the five majors to nurture. If you do not believe in this God's words ask your Royal magician to try locating me and if that too is not enough to believe my words see my child's strength and the "Holy Magic" with your eyes.

*The Emperor was visibly shocked, frantically asking his Royal magician of what had happened, why were the magic barriers around the palace not working. The Royal magician tried to conform, but found no tracks of Mana or a problem which only worried the Emperor. He decided to hear this out and ask what Arthur could do with Holy Magic, but before Arthur could answer the princess of Aradon, Athina arrived by the Emperor holding a book which had the history of the "Holy Age". Arthur was able to see that Athina had as light injury on her hand and as soon as he was released from his bindings casted " Heal" on Athina which caught everyone off guard. Not knowing which type of spell was casted on the Emperor's precious daughter the Royal guards held Arthur down, when Athina shouted for them to stop. The Emperor looking at his daughter with worried eyes saw blood on her finger, but no wounds.

As Athina explain about what kind of spell Arthur had used and it's properties which made the Emperor very sorry for his actions as healers in an area where dungeons and monsters were highly active, as well as most common passion being adventurers would be truly helpful. He asked Arthur for a reward that will be granted to him, for which he pondered what to ask.

Raven suggested to Arthur using "God's Whispers" to be enrolled into the Royal Academy as a special candidate which would be helpful for him in the future and Arthur did so. Being enrolled into the Royal Academy meant Arthur was giving away his commoner status for being a Nobel which he refused as Raven's suggestion. Raven instead told Arthur to suggest him being a "Priest" and Priests can't be Nobels of any place except the Holy Empire which as been lost to history. He also told the Emperor about the fact that his daughter is an potential Saintess Candidate according to the "Holy God" he now followed. On Raven's suggestion Arthur also suggested that a branch of the Church he would be opening will be opened in Aradon's Capital, Atlush, which would allow anyone who believes in his God to gain Holy Mana and learn Holy Magic from him. *
