"What do you mean by that? You are the most talented among your peers so every academy would be glad to have you." Enzo would respect whatever decision Aleric took because he took himself from nothing to 3rd class but he had to make him understand how easy it would be for him to progress if he gets to study in the academy. "Look son, I know you are really strong and feel you don't need teachers or an academy for you to become stronger but that's wrong. The benefits studying at the academy would bring are tremendous. You would have beast mana core to absorb and make you stronger, you would make allies and a lot of things." "I know, perhaps I came out wrong. What I am trying to say is that I will not be attending the academy as a special student. I would get the admission myself by passing through their test." "Oh," Enzo breathed a sigh of relief and he wasn't the only one. "I would appreciate it if you don't tell the school representative about my abilities." Enzo accepted his son

Aleric knew the privileges he had as the young lord would be over the moment he left town and he didn't mind. In order not to draw too much attention to himself, he still refused to cut his head and tried his best not to appear handsome. He left his hair falling over his face covering his eyes making him appear like a country lad. He made sure to change the noble attire he left home him, now he is wearing a local cloth. It took him about a week to leave the borders of Warkinles. He found it funny when he heard rumors about himself from the natives of Warkinles. Aleric's heroic deed has traveled far and wide but to most people, it was just a rumor the Lord of the state spread to make his son recognized in the kingdom. It was more reasonable to believe it was a lie being spread by the Lord than to believe the weak son is now a one-man army. After leaving Warkinles, Aleric arrived at Frankfort. Before Aleric left his home, he made sure to memorize the kingdom map and names of the states,

Aleric massacred everyone and left the slave trader for the last. By the time it was the slave trader's time to die he had already pissed himself. "You don't deserve to live." Aleric said in a low threatening tone as he shot an ice bullet and cut off the slave trader's left arm. "And you don't deserve a quick death either." He cut off the other arm. "Stop." Aleric turned to see the girl that was stabbed crawling on the floor trying her best to reach Aleric. "Stop." She said again and Aleric rushed towards her. "Stop struggling, you have lost too much blood." He put pressure on the wound but the blood kept gushing out. "If only I had listened to your instructions." She spoke slowly and Aleric couldn't hold back his tears. "I am sorry, I should've killed them all when I had the chance." Aleric can't stop blaming himself, he felt if he didn't show mercy to the humans the slave trader wouldn't have done this. "You don't need to be sorry. My mother said a man changes whenever he spill

The tugs realized they just went dancing with the devil. Aleric didn't even bother drawing his sword as he just used earth magic to trap their feet and use an ice ball to strike them repeatedly. It was a nightmare for them as Aleric didn't even give them the chance to fight back."So have we come to an agreement?" Aleric asked the tugs as they knelt with swollen faces."Yes master, we all accept your kindness." Aleric offered them to become his porters in the hunt."I suppose you know the best area to hunt?""Yes, moving to the west, you will get the lightning fox. They are hard to hunt as they have lightning attributes and are also quick to run." Aleric nodded as the leader of the tugs explain. "If you are lucky to get one with mana core, you would be able to get lightning attribute." Aleric doesn't have a lightning attribute no matter how much he tries. He can only use fire, earth, wind, and ice. Having a lightning ability would greatly increase his strength."Then to the east is th

Aleric didn't go to the auction house immediately. He first got to an inn and decided to go to the auction the next day. Aleric was treated like a celebrity when he arrived at the inn. The innkeeper even gave him a discount and when people heard he was staying at the inn, they came to the inn to eat and drink with the hope of seeing the black mask. "I am going out today, I would be back later in the day." Aleric told the innkeeper before leaving. He took his mana cores to the auction house. Aleric was surprised when he got to the auction house and discovered that it was bigger than he thought. "Welcome to Heaven Auction House, how can we help you?" A pretty lady with a red dress greeted Aleric with a bow. The auction house has heard of the amazing feat of the black mask so the mistress personally came out to greet him when they saw him coming. "I have come to sell my mana cores." "I am June, you can come inside and show me what you have." The pretty lady smiled and led Aleric insi
