After the Adrian made his declaration to his parents and left, Malcom and Amanda are still in the dining room mouths agape.“Darling, it seems that our son will be better in the future than you.” Amanda made a statement.“I know, and that is good. Sorry for making this remark but sometimes I still can’t believe he is our son. He is too smart and talented. But we watched him grew up that means he is our son. The heir to the Cross county. Right now, I will do anything to nurture and protect him. I have made my decision. Ralph!” Malcom stepping up his maturity.“Yes, master.” Ralph stood up straight when hearing his named called after standing at the side still in daze of Adrian declaration.“As of right now you are temporarily no longer my right-hand assistant. I will temporarily task you to be Adrian’s personal butler, guardian and right hand until the day he left for the academy. You will be responsible to watch over him.” Malcom declared“But master… who will assist you if I’m not wi
The day after the library flood incident, Adrian is still doing his routine of waking up before light of dawn rises to train before Marylyn wakes up. Of course, Ralph is with him.“I forgot to mention this to you yesterday young master because we are so busy to save the literature in the library. As of yesterday, your parents asked me to take care of you and be your personal butler before you enter the academy. In addition to that you are given permission to venture outside to border but only 5 km away.” Ralph tells Adrian yesterday’s news.“Hah hah… That is great Ralph… hah hah. But… can we talk about this later… hah hah. I’m focusing right now.” Adrian pants heavily while fighting a hologram that only he can see. Also, it hits him hard.The hologram that Adrian was facing is Kyle Shields. He is 21 years old and just reach Crescent Moon stage when Adrian ‘Analyse’ him when he met him when he is 5 years old. He is the perfect practice partner for now. Although Adrian is still 1 Star s
After the siblings make their resolve, both of them are in the library studying after breakfast. Marylyn is reading Adrian’s book notes while Adrian is memorizing all of the magic books available in the library. With the help of ‘Hyper memory’ and ‘Memory place’ he can store as many spells that he wants.He thought the after memorizing all the magic books he wants to go to the training grounds to deconstruct the spells and create a new one.Self-created magics are kept secret by the creator themselves. It depends on them to share it or not. It’s been this way since the beginning of time. The Primordials shared their most basic magic and each racial traits to their descendants.This is the will of the gods. They want intelligent beings to carve their own path.Page after page, books after books. From basics to advance. All of them store in that big head of Adrian’s. This went on until lunch break.“Big brother let’s have lunch.” Marylyn is bored but seeing his big brother working hard
It was almost late evening. The sunset is already painting the sky beautiful orange. Adrian is still standing still, moving his hands in the air with an annoyed expression. “I can’t believe I don’t have enough mana to cast any of the 7 spells I created.” Adrian feels depressed. “Young master, I think you should stop for today. Let’s go back and have dinner. You can try again tomorrow.” Ralph tries to cheer up Adrian although he is confused with Adrian’s actions today. “Sigh… you are right. Let’s go, Ralph.” Adrian left the training grounds with Ralph wearing a sour expression. Adrian went to his room and took an ice-cold bath that he made himself and send Ralph to prepare for dinner. “Sigh, such a depressing day. Aria, give me some advice to overcome this, please.” Adrian turns to Aria his other half. [Advice. Master can use Durandal special ability ‘Mana circulation +’ to quickly increase Master’s mana capacity.] “That’s it. I forgot to test it off because too many eyes are wa
It was already early morning where the sun is not yet to be seen. Inside a room of a mansion, a boy is wearing a flabbergast expression after seeing his improvements in only 6 hours. “This is ridiculous. I’m almost achieve the Moon stage in just one night. Most people need to circulate mana for 3 years to achieve this. All thanks to Aria’s gift.” Adrian praises himself and Aria for the unprecedented achievement. [Responding. ARIA appreciates Master’s praise.] “Now is the time for my physical training. Although, circulating mana brings me more benefits but I still believe physical training can solidify my foundation.” Adrian retracts Durandal and the Grimoire back, one vanishes while the other turns back into a tattoo respectively. “The problem right now is stronger people can estimate weaker one’s mana. The mansion will be suspicious how I can rise to 7 Star stage in one night after failing to cast a single spell yesterday. Aria, solutions please.” Adrian adds and turns to Aria fo
The summer sun was blown away by the autumn winds while bringing maple leaves blowing towards the Cross Estate. Inside the library of the estate, a burned-out child is sighing of boredom wanting some excitement while the other is staring out into space moving his hands around. An old butler is thinking what to do cheer these children up. Suddenly, he got an idea. “Young master, young miss. Why don’t you two go out and have a walk around town. Maybe the two of you can find some motivation during the trip. I will be coming along of course.” Ralph gave his suggestion. “The town? Light Edge town that is 1 km from here? Can we really go there? I want to go, I want to go. Let’s go big brother. Maybe we can have some fun. 3 months of continuous studying is boring.” Marylyn jumped excitedly hearing Ralph suggestion. “Huh? Trip to the town? Yeah sure. I didn’t go there when I was younger. I am waiting for my little sister to grow so we can go together. You were so focus on studying and las
After enjoying the food, the Cross sibling and Ralph is chatting with the other customers. “I want to hear the story of Ralph. Come on. A story please.” Adrian’s words attract the attention of the crowd and Marylyn as well. Ralph gulps down his saliva hearing the young master’s request. “Hahaha… You want to hear his story? Sure, sure.” A rugged man laughs out hearing about the interesting topic. Everybody else begin to perk their ears up. They either know about it or not, it is interesting to hear the story about a man that is adored by the commonfolk. “It’s like this Adrian boy, Ralph like us is of common birth. He had a humble family but life is difficult. His siblings are not too healthy because they had a bloodline disease from his mother’s side. That left of his family his father and himself.” “After he finish his studies at the academy at the age of 15, he joined the Lightbearer Mercenary Corp. The mercenary group is the 3rd best at that time in the south. He is not the bes
5 days later, Adrian, Marylyn and Ralph come by Rupert’s workshop. In the last 5 days, Adrian didn’t forget to do his daily routine and he is still working on the magic circle and patterns studies also trying to make new magic. Marylyn had some motivation to study after touring Light Edge town. Light Edge town had a population of about 120000 people. It is surrounded by a forest. There are some weak monsters as mercenaries often take jobs to clear the dangerous ones. Everyone can defend themselves pretty well because of magic but not everyone had a spirit weapon. The town had mercenary guilds, public library, markets, enough houses for each family, a town plaza and the most important of all in Adrian’s plan is an empty field. Adrian asked his dad about this. He asked permission to borrow the place to play for a while. “Rupert, are you in? It’s me, the kid.” Adrian gives a vague hello. “Yeah, I’m inside kid. Come in.” Rupert asks them to come inside his work shop. The three went i
