Storm and Shadow

"I'm going to become the world's most powerful wind mage."

Mages are rare and powerful existences that can change the world with their abilities, like living, breathing forces of nature. Countries and nations collect and raise these special talents to be powerful weapons in their arsenal in a long going cold war between kingdoms, as the tenuous peace that had lasted for centuries is coming to an end, Arcadia and the Skelian Empire are close to an all-out magical war, and the young prodigy wind mage Drace is caught in the middle of it all.

Drace owes his life to his mentor, Sebastian Claret, after the man saves him from a cold fate worse than death at the hands of the Skelian Empire. Now, after three years of mana strengthening and rudimentary training, Drace is fully prepared to begin learning advanced applications for his wind magic, at the Arcadian Academy for Magic.

Given a grand opportunity, Drace is thrust into a new world of power and politics where he will discover friends, enemies, and a fiery tempered noble girl named Rose that may have more in common with his existence than anyone he’s ever met. He will need to become stronger to protect not only himself but the friends and loved ones he now has, before tenebrous nightmares from his past threaten to swallow whole his new life once more.

Tapas has my story with Italics, because webnovel wants you to simp for them for even the most simple of english language formatting.
