"Magic Dust Starlight"
World view setting
The magic of Azerland is maintained by seven "star stones". The top academic institution in the mainland, **Morning Star Academy,** only recruits those with outstanding talents every year.
##Act 1·Enrollment from a poor family
**Ku Li**, a farmer's boy, has been farming with his parents since he was a child. He awakened his weak but pure magic power in a wildfire and was admitted to Morning Star College under special circumstances. After enrolling in school, he was ridiculed as a "mud-leg" by famous students because of his local accent, coarse clothes and pastoral magic that "couldn't stand on the stage". His tutors also neglected him and he was ostracized everywhere.
##Act 2·Undercurrent and persistence
Curry did not complain or argue: he listened carefully during the day, worked in the library at night to pay for his tuition, and integrated the experience of working in the countryside into the mantra - using sowing patience to create a protective barrier. He met Ironwood, a descendant of orcs who was also marginalized, and Lila, a civilian girl, and the three supported each other. While sorting out the banned books, Curry discovered that the ancient disaster **Light Eater** was sealed underground in the academy, and the seal was being secretly eroded by a jealous high-level apprentice.
##Act III·Expedition Trial
The Light Eater awakened, and the Starlite shattered and scattered across the continent. While the elders were pushing back and forth for their own selfish interests, the three Curries volunteered to embark on an expedition to retrieve the fragments. As they travel through misty swamps and over the Howling Pass, their companions are repeatedly seduced by dark whispers - power, revenge, glory. Curry himself was once promised to "make everyone bow", but he thought of his parents' wheat fields and flatly refused. What supports him is not his talent, but the soil under his feet and the light in his hands.
