Chapter 1396 The Life Of Someone That Could Never Fight Back
-----
Tomas life flashed through his mind for a moment, he was able to have another glimpse at his childhood, his early steps as a magician, and how his first master, Gandolf, taught him everything he knows.
Tomas was never very talented at magic, he wasn't the best at it either, where he got at was through sheer effort and practice, constant and without end, every day, every night, for years.
At first he could barely conjure a small, tiny nail-sized ice crystal, so weak it broke when it touched almost anything.
But over time, as he was taught and learned his real abilities, he slowly shaped magic and mana differently, transforming, evolving as a person.@@@@
He dedicated his whole life to this, to magic.
Since he was a child that his wish was to join the Magician Guild and become a prestigious mage that could raise his small family from their poverty.
Despite coming from a noble family, he was the illegitimate son of a noble man, and his mother was a maid whose his father had a hidden relationship.
"Mama, when will I meet my father? All the kids at school laugh at me because I told them I didn't have one..."
"Y-Your father? Ah... well, he's... he's a very important man, someone... that is too busy. I'm sorry, Tomas..."
He never saw his father in his entire life, and his mother was always working to keep him well fed. His father only gave him and his mother their house and paid for basic expenses.

But everything else, such as education, food, clothes, water, and so on, had to come from their own hard work, completely abandoned after that.
"Haaah... My back and my foot hurt so much... I want to sleep... T-Tomas! Did you have dinner?"
As he saw his mother come back tired from working every night, Tomas constantly made his goal to earn money through his magic, to become the best magician.
Gandolf, a wandering magician, became his master after he saw him starving on the streets and was fed. As a reward for letting him live in their house and give him food, Gandolf became his personal magic tutor.
However, despite all of that, he kept working hard, no matter how others treated him, and eventually, he grew strong, stronger, and even stronger after that.
His magic became proper magic, and his knowledge and spells allowed him to finally give the final step, reaching the tower he dreamed for his entire life.
"Congratulations, Tomas! This is just what you wanted, right?"
"A-Ah, yes... I still can hardly believe it. But what about you, Master Gandolf?"
"Ah well, I've grown rather used to the city life by now, so I've decided to join the Tower for a while, see how the people are over there, maybe make new friends? Before I depart. I want to see you become a full-fledged magician first after all."
"Master... Thank you, for everything."
"It's nothing kiddo. That's just how the Flow of Mana willed it to be."
And yet, although their lives looked to be improving.
It all came down the moment they joined that wretched tower.
"Tomas! Tomas! We have to run away!"
"M-master?!"
Gandolf came running towards him, his eyes full of horror and terrified.
"They're demons! They're dealing with demons, Tomas! The Magicians of this tower are insane! They're a cult!"
"W-What?! No... t-that cannot be!"
"It's the truth! They tried to turn me into one of them, I ran away but- Ah! They're here, we have to get out of the Tower, hurry!"
Gandolf grabbed Tomas by the hand, dragging him away.
