Seraphion Receives a Message From the True God
Within the silent heights of the Celestial Observatory, Seraphion sat alone, his wings folded, reviewing the growing plans for the World Academy.
Suddenly—
A divine whisper echoed in his mind.
"Seraphion… go west for 500 kilometers.
There, you will find a boy with a faint divine spark.
Save him. Train him. He is meant to inherit the role you cannot hold forever."
Seraphion froze.
A chosen child?
A divine spark?
Someone selected by Razeon himself?
Without hesitation, he opened his wings and soared toward the mortal world.The Boy Named Ardyn
In a worn-down village on the western frontier, a ten-year-old boy named Ardyn darted between alleys, clutching a loaf of bread.
He wasn't stealing for himself.
Behind him, in a broken hut, waited his six-year-old sister—Lyria—starving, shaking, but alive because of him.
Their father, once a respected priest of Razeon, had been falsely accused by a corrupt new priest.
Framed as a worshipper of a demon god, he had broken under the hatred and took his own life—leaving the two children alone.
The villagers, poisoned by lies, saw Ardyn as a "demon's child" and chased him with stones and sticks.
Ardyn stumbled, fell, and curled protectively around the bread.
They struck him anyway.
Over and over.The Angel Descends With Judgment
A golden light slammed into the earth.
Wings unfolded.
Silence swept the village.
Seraphion landed between Ardyn and the mob—eyes burning with celestial wrath.
"Harming an innocent child… in the name of false faith.
Your sins are noted. Your punishment begins."
The corrupt priest crawled forward, trembling.
"Spare me—! It was only a misunderstanding—"
Seraphion pointed a finger.
"For framing a servant of the True God…
For causing a wrongful death…
For persecution of orphans…
I sentence you to divine punishment."
A seal of heavenly light branded the priest's forehead.
His lies were exposed to every villager instantly.
He fled the village, hunted by his own shame.
The villagers fell to their knees, trembling.
Seraphion turned to Ardyn and Lyria, kneeling gently.
"Children… your suffering ends today."
He lifted them in his arms and whispered:
"By the will of Razeon, I claim guardianship over you.
From today, you are under my protection."
Ardyn wept silently for the first time in years.Two Years of Secret Divine Training
For two hidden years, Seraphion raised Ardyn and his sister in a concealed valley blessed by the True God himself.
Ardyn's Training — Path of the Principal
Seraphion taught him:
leadership
discipline
ethics
law
management
judgment
spiritual perception
the ability to read hearts
emotional control
negotiation and diplomacy
battlefield awareness
But more importantly—
He taught Ardyn the mindset of a future Principal, the one who would one day carry the weight of the entire world's youth.
Seraphion told him:
"A Principal must be firm but compassionate.
Just but merciful.
Calm but unbreakable.
And above all—guided by the True God."
Ardyn listened, absorbed, and grew.
His eyes began to sharpen.
His instincts became unnaturally accurate.
He matured faster than any normal child.
A trace of divine instinct was awakening inside him…
But Seraphion kept it sealed until the proper time.Lyrella's Hidden Gift
Lyrella, soft-spoken and bright-eyed, displayed a rare natural talent.
Whenever animals approached her, they calmed instantly.
Even wild beasts curled beside her peacefully.
Seraphion observed this unique gift and knew exactly where she belonged.
He took her hand gently.
"Child, your heart is pure.
Your gift is of life and spirit.
You must learn from those who heal the world."
And so—
Lyrella was sent to Elowen's four servants,
to be trained as a future Tamer and Life-Bond Specialist.
A blessed path awaited her.Ardyn Learns the Truth
On Ardyn's twelfth birthday, Seraphion revealed everything.
He showed his true angelic form—a form no mortal had ever seen.
Ardyn fell to his knees.
Seraphion placed a hand on his head.
"You were chosen.
Not because of your blood…
But because of your heart.
You will one day be the rightful Principal of the greatest academy in the world."
Ardyn trembled.
"…Why me?"
"Because you have suffered and stayed kind.
Because you understand injustice.
Because you will never misuse power.
And because the True God wills it."
Ardyn accepted his destiny.The Sky Itself Speaks
That night, across the world, glowing words appeared in the heavens:
"A child of judgment has been chosen.
He will guide the new generation."
People called it a divine omen.
Priests knelt.
Kings sent messengers.
But no one knew the identity of the child.
Only Seraphion… and Razeon.The Founding Ceremony of the World Academy

A pure academy—guided secretly by the True God himself.Ardyn Enters the Academy as a Student
Though destined to be future Principal, Ardyn entered as a normal student, just as Razeon commanded.
He walked through the academy gates with calm steps, wearing simple clothes, hiding his divine aura completely.
Seraphion walked beside him and whispered:
"There is someone you must befriend.
A dwarf boy named Kaelbrim.
Treat him with respect.
Protect him.
Learn from him.
He is more important than he seems."
Ardyn bowed slightly.
"Yes, Master."
Seraphion placed a hand on Ardyn's shoulder before leaving.
"Your path begins today."
Then his celestial form vanished.Ardyn Meets Kaelbrim
Inside the academy courtyard, the dwarf avatar Kaelbrim stood among arriving students.
Ardyn felt something the moment he saw him—
A faint divine resonance.
A familiar spark.
A destiny intertwined.
He approached with a gentle smile.
"Hello. I'm Ardyn.
Would you like to be friends?"
Kaelbrim studied him carefully.
"…Sure. Let's start this journey together."
And so began a bond that would shape the future of the world.Razeon Watches From Above
High in the divine realm, Razeon observed quietly.
Two chosen children—
Two paths intertwined—
Two futures destined to meet.
A dwarf avatar of creation.
A human child of judgment.
The world was entering a new age…
And this academy would become the place where gods watched mortals grow.
