A battle between Venom and Ian was about to take place. With Vel outside the scenario, the nobles who were too focused on the fire didn't have the time to see what was happening behind them.
Clang!
The two swords clashed against each other and Venom was surprised by the amount of force Ian had injected into his sword. It was just a simple strike, one without any mana or other properties.
She managed to successfully block the attack and move two steps behind. Ian attacked once again giving her no time to counterattack, like that, they parried on sword for a while, testing each others skills and strength.
And soon, both party came to a conclusion. For venom, she was shocked at how skilled Ian was in practical fights unlike nobles who only used the sword for show.
But she also knew Ian's weakness, she knew that he was unable to use mana since his attribute hadn't a

"Aaaand you're bleeding.. once again.. young master.." Corner was the first one to notice the wound on Ian's legs as he commented. He was tired of seeing Ian get injured every single time. He was worried that one day something serious might happen at this rate. 'Fak.. I forgot to change my pants..' 'That's why you're an idiot.' Ian couldn't retort. He had used so many potions and yet managed to forget that he had blood stains and cuts on his pants. "Young master's leg was heavily bleeding earlier. And since he was worried about the other nobles, he couldn't even immediately use his power to defend himself.." "So he intentionally.." "Received that wound..?" Tens of glares were directed towards Ian as Rianne tried to explain to them how hard Ian worked to save the others.

We can adjust..""No why are you even here in the first place?!"Ian shouted back in frustration. He wanted to take a nice little nap with the kids when these two fully grown adults barged into his bedroom and decided that they'll spend the night there."My bed wasn't made to accommodate knights and princes!""The Duke gave his permission though..""And I'm not a knight anymore.."They both had a weirdly persuasive tone in their voice as they rejected Ian's rejectio

"ugh... can't.. breathe.." Ian's peaceful sleep came to an end at the suffocating pressure he was getting from all sides. As he slowly opened his eyes, he finally knew why. 'I told them it'd be uncomfortable...' Ian removed Canis from his chest, then untangled Eli from his leg and finally Jet, she wasn't on top of him like the other's, thankfully. 'Come back.' He summoned them in and let them sleep a bit longer right next to his heart. "These four..." On his left, Ash, then right next to him, Arthur, on his right, Damon and then next to him Albert, all four of them were stuck closely to each other and clinging to Ian.

"Umm.. What do you mean by 'acted normal'...?"Albert, who had no idea about Ian's memory loss excuse, couldn't get the hang of it, the conversation between Ian and his parents, and asked back in curiosity.He wondered what they meant, why Ian would need to act normal and what was going on with the whole situation overall."Hmm...""Ahem.."The hesitant expression on Ian's parents made Albert even more confused. They kept staring at Ian as if they were waiting for him to guide them or give them permission of some sort. They looked fairly uncomfortable and at the same time eager to say something."You can tell him. I don't mind."Ian focused on the steak in front of him and spoke in a casual manner. He didn't want to lie so he passed the ball onto his parents who looked like they were eager to share some big secret with t

Ian knew what life was like for orphans. Since him and his brother had to live that life for decades. And he also knew how precious these little things were to someone like that. "So what numbers shall we pick for the draw?" "That's up to you. Here. I'll give you the papers. Art. Help me sort these out, will ya?" "......." "Hm?" As Ian turned around after receiving no immediate reply, he could see that Arthur was actually nowhere to be seen. He hadn't brought Arthur with him in the first place. "I'll help."

'A Phoenix??? For real?!'Ian couldn't help but ask the voice inside his head in shock. Even the wings on his back fluttered strongly in response to his emotions.There were many fictional beings and creatures in fantasy novels, dragons, mermaid, fairy, werewolf, vampires etc. But if someone asked Noah what was his favorite, his answer would undeniably be"A Phoenix of course! They are the coolest."That was the reason Ian had such a huge reaction when he realized the possibility of a phoenix existing inside the novel.'Took you long enough.'Is all that voice said before going quiet.
