It was a warm sunny day outside. Inside the Aristaeus Basin Forest, the light gently shines between the leaves of the trees giving it an eerie glow. Mana flows freely in the wind, and cool breezes caress creatures occasionally. The air feels extremely clean, and the whole atmosphere of the place induces a sense of healthiness. In this very forest, many creatures affected by the strong mana, turned into magic beasts. And their numbers grow at an alarming rate. And as such, the people of Clover sometimes organize hunting seasons for any person willing to brave the dangers, be it Magic Knight or not. Such Hunting Sports are viewed highly by the noble houses of Clover, and not only is is a way for the Nobles to flex their powers and magics in a relatively safe environment, but they can also engage in socializing with the other influential people and relieve the stress they have accumulated.
The hunting season has started once again, and many nobles have been invited to participate. One such noble, was of course Mikael. He was a member of the Blake family, although a bastard, but the other nobles did not know that. Since arriving in Clover, and revealing to others that he is a Blake, he was met up with a lot of different reactions from the nobles. Some saw him as a thread, looked at him with disdain, others, saw opportunity in this, and tried to win him over. The second group, is the group of nobles that invited Mikael to this Hunting Event. Although Mikael is aware that he was not invited out of the goodness of their heart, suspecting that most probably they want to ascertain his level of power, he thinks it is a good idea to form good relations with the Noble Class, now that he decided to live here.
And as such, Nobles and Magic Knights started to gather at the borders of the Forest. Even from there, the forest vastness could be vaguely perceived. In the gathering, a lone Noble could be seen arriving at the rendezvous point. The man was tall and slim, in the prime of his youth, with medium white hair of flawless purity, red ruby eyes that could pierce through any darkness, a light beige, but spotless skin, and a face of a fallen angel. He was quite fancily dressed into a white shirt, with a white tie over his neck. That shirt is being covered with a light grey vest, which has a low cut V neck. Simple light grey pants and black gloves. As for footwear, he was wearing black boots that went over the pants up to half of his calves. And over all that, he was wearing a blue with purple tints coat that had golden trims and details. Unlike the vest, the coat was open and was kept together by a golden chain at the chest region. He was Mikael.
As the man arrived, a group of nobles started to approach him. "Ooh, you are here, Mikael. I am glad to see that you could make it." said one of the nobles. Mikael looked at them, respectfully greeted them and responded "Thank you for inviting me top this event. I hope I can perform to your expectations." . The nobleman started to do a slight laugh before talking again: "Ho Ho Ho. Don't be so tense Mikael. It is mostly just a social gathering. You do not have to engage in the killing of the beasts. We can let this task to the Magic Knights. This is more of a social gathering for us, nobles.". That is when he understood a little better how the Hunting season would play out and that his initial assumption would not the entirely correct. At least he won't be tested physically and magically. There were 30 more minutes until the start would be announced, and so, Mikael started interacting with different nobles, trying to learn as much as he can about how the high society works here in clover, playing the card of the foreign noble.
