*The Next Day*
Ken woke up to the rays of the sun, he looked to his left and noticed that his parents are still sleeping at their own bed, he looked at his right and found that the ball of white was still where he was, just beside him,
Not really beside him beside him, just there probably an arm’s length distance, a baby's arm length distance.
'What are you staring at?' effectively catching Ken of guard, he finds it hard to find his words.
'I uhh... I'm... Uh... good morning! I was just wondering whether you are awake or not.' that little startle subsiding down as Ken’s heart calmed.
'Good morning to you too Ken, as for your question, I have been awake for a long time, because I do not take a rest.' replied the ball.
'Why is that so?' Ken asks curiously.
'That's because I do not have a body that gets tired, as you can see, I am a ball of white.' Ken nodded as it does seem reasonable.
While deep in a conversation with the ball of white, he didn't notice his parents waking up and walking to his side, he heard a gasp and turn to its source, and looked that it was just his parents, looking at him worriedly but his mom's face quickly turned to that of a pout, his father looking at his wife with raised eyebrows.
"Awwww, our baby woke up before us, I mean honey look at him, he's wide awake, I bet he must have been waiting for us to wake up too, awww poor Kenny, where you waiting for a long time?
Here let me cradle you and give you your milk for this morning." Just as she had said, she reached out with both of her arms, to which Ken reciprocated with both arms reaching out for his mother as well, making those grabby features.
He notice at the corner of his eye that his dad was getting busy, wondering what his father could be busying himself for?
"Me and your mother will be taking you out to meet our friend at their house just by the fields, I'm sure you will be delighted to be there because our friend also has a kid, and they’re the same age as you, aren't you excited?" said Ken’s father excitedly, that Ken could not help as well but to laugh and squeal in delight while breastfeeding.
The thought of having a new friend was very exciting.
"Now now sweetie, we can't have you going to our friend’s house without having your fill or you won't have the energy to play with your soon to be new friend, so let's go back to drinking shall we?" said Ken’s mother, caressing her child.
---
The family dressed up with plain clothing and had went out on their way, recalling that this was not Ken’s first time outside, remembering that time when he had his first birthday and his parents had invited every people on their village.
They may not have been many but their night was filled with cheers and joy nonetheless. Ken giggling all night long.
"Kenny did you remember that time when you turned a year old? Our friends where there, and the people that we are visiting today were also there, although we didn't get to introduce you to them though they had also brought their son with them,
because I kind of got lost in the moment and didn't get to introduce you to them and to their son, I know you will not be able to remember our friends names, but I'm sure you will become familiar with them because they're a very lovely couple, and today you will be getting to meet them and their son." said the father, to which Ken squealed and nodding vigorously.
On the way he kept smooching his son with cuddles and kisses, when Ken got a bit annoyed he pushed his father’s face back and showed an annoyed face, his father just laughed and explained to him that now that he was holding him, he just can't get enough giving him love and kisses,
Like when he can't get enough of giving cuddles and kisses to his wife whenever he hugs her, Ken showed him an unimpressed face, what happened next shocked him, his father gave him puppy dog eyes!!!...
‘Who does that?! Apparently my father does’ that sulky face unyielding with its assault on the poor little boy, eventually giving up and letting himself go with what his father wants, happily cuddling again with his son, showering kisses all over.
By the time they had arrived at the house of their friend, Ken could feel that his face was wet from all that smooching, him frowning at his father.
Of course the parent was at a loss, and looked at his son confusion clear on his face, his wife noticed that he wasn't knocking at the door and gazed lovingly at this father and son duo.
Noticing the distress signals of her son, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped Ken’s wet cheeks gently.
Delighted with the treatment, Ken made grabby hands at his mother, she leaned closer to her son getting caught off guard as her son touched her face with those soft cute hands and gave her a soft kiss on her cheeks,
But later regretted his actions when the action was reciprocated ten-folds unto him, smothering him with more cuddles, but this time without the wetness on her cheeks.
When she retracted from her son, she looked at his frozen state and laughed but wiped the excess wetness on her son’s cheek.
Noticing the commotion from outside, the tenants of the small house opened the door to find them in front of a family of three. A man looking to be on his early 20’s with that young but masculine face and physique.
The man looking to be almost the same age as Ken’s parents, beside him was a woman cradling a boy, only the boy was facing the inside of the house and not on their three guests. The man smiled at Ken’s father and the woman exclaimed.
"Alfred, glad you and you're family are here, come inside, please be at home" Alfred obliged and went inside still holding Ken, followed by his partner, the couple led their guests to the living room and offered to take a sit.
"Thank you for welcoming and inviting us here to your home Lorna and Erick." Alfred said.
"No please, you guys are very much welcome here at our house, especially your son." The woman, named Lorna, replied.
The adults went into deep conversation, catching up and making small talks, Ken’s mind drifting in and out of thought.
" en... Ken... KEN..." a loud voice pulled him out of his thoughts, Ken looked up and was met with his father's face directly above him showing a concerned face.
"We've been calling you for 5 times, are you okay buddy? Does it hurt somewhere?" He ask, concern lacing on his words, Ken shook my head to show that he disapproved of his statement and gave him a smile to reassure him that his son was alright.
"Are you sure you're okay? Okay, so now it's time to meet your Aunt and Uncles son, Wilbert Talon." Alfred exclaimed, Ken looked around and rested his gaze at the boy his aunt Lorna was currently holding, not budging on the slightest.
Ken tilted his head to the side, looking intrigued and anticipating the boy to at least move, or do something, the other just sleeping soundly.
"Will, wake up now, we're introducing you to our friends son." The boy named Wilbert stirred awake and gently and slowly looked around and him and once he get to look at another kid, he rested his eyes at the new face.
In that spur of the moment, Ken noticed a slight glow on the figure of the baby in front of him, the more he observed the more he noticed that the radiance was growing brighter.
'It means, you have found the main and first hero of this story.'
‘Oh, okay…Wait what?! Really?! I found the first Hero?!’

Is she? Another main character?’ staring at the girl, the light gradually dimming once he’s eyes adjusted to its shine.‘Yes, yes she is’ came White’s reply.‘White!... Wait where is he?’ Ken’s glanced at his surroundings to find his companion.‘Hellooo, Above you.’ Ken followed the voice and sure enough White was there floating above him.‘Good Morning.’ said Ken, to which the other reciprocated the greeting. ‘Where were you this morning?’ he asked, White floating to Ken’s eye level so he wouldn’t be spraining his head any further, plus he would just look weird if he continued.‘Hm? Haven’t you noticed? I was just right above your head.’ replied White.‘Oh, hehe.’ Ken scratched his nose sheepishly. That was a bit embarrassi

Ken nodded to his mother’s statement."Yes Mama, Papa, let's go!" he exclaims. The three of them walked inside the house and into Ken’s room. The girl is now awake and conversing with Wilbert, both sitting on Ken’s bed."Good, you're now awake.” Lyn suddenly states, making Ken, Wilbert, and the girl, jerk to attention, it seems they are deep in conversing with each other."Oh... u-uh...

Not to worry, our journey back will not be dangerous.” replied Indur to his friend, with a hint of mischief to his tone, Klein caught what Indur meant for the most part, as for the important one, he frowned, then smiled lightly. ‘“Can’t say I didn’t warn you.” said Klein. Indur frowned then chuckled mischievously.“We’ll see what your disciple can do, but on another hand, I’ll bide my time, and prepare for the extraction of the artifact.” said Indur, effectively changing the mood as tension in the air feels as if the onlookers could touch it, the other two masters are left confused of the sudden ch

Third Person’s POV (12 yrs. and 3 months old)“Calm down Wilbert, please, calm down first.” Ken reply.Wilber took huge breaths and exhaled them in a controlled manner, Ken knows much that when Wilbert is emotionally attacked, he’ll get very angry, so Ken follows him in the breathing exercise.‘I don’t know where the trait came from but I’ve observed it right from the very start it manifested itself in the form of Wilbert smashing a sword on the ground in frustration of not improving, luckily I was there or more like ran over to him whenever he had such episodes, and helped him throughout, with Celine of course.’“Okay, I’m calm.” Ken narrowed his eyes. “Okay I’m not calm, I’ll just be quiet here now.” the other said, Ken nod in appreciation.

I could not tell you both if it’s not okay with you two.” Ken can’t force them to a heavy subject such as this one. Ken took a once over his friends, well, Wilbert looks confused, while Celine looked in turmoil and upset. Walks forward and hugs the two. “I’m sorry if this may have caused you both to have complicated feelings.” He said, looking at both of them in his arms. “I have kept this secret from the both of you for a long time now, but both of you are my friends, You two have the right to know the truth, why I have a scythe, why I have weird magic, and most importantly why the three of us had to go through what we went through 8 years ago.” Wilbert’s brow rose in question, while Celine got confused.

Third Person’s POV (12 yrs. and 3 months old)“8 years ago, when they started becoming our disciples and students.” Indur looked extremely shocked to his core. He cannot find the words to say, and became a stuttering mess here and there.“So that’s why you look and feel stronger than before.” said Indur, Klein nodded in confirmation.“Look, Ken’s teaching the four his technique.” said Klein, and Indur followed, seeing for himself as Ken placed his hands behind the princess’s back and felt that some type of energy is being sucked into the princess in full force,But slowly it settled down to a form of a stream slowly flowing towards the princess, he could vaguely see seven streams going towards the princess while the others had almost the same amount as her.‘Hmmm, that’s a different type of method.’ Indur thought.But as quickly as Indur assessed the situation to be a goldmine as the ten students showed capabilities of drawing the world’s energy into a timely manner, he was then more

We’re magical beasts, why do we have to stoop so low as to use a human title?” rebutted Indur, looking offended and disgusted at the term.“You can’t blame me, I’ve started using that term since fifteen years ago, when the parent of that child (points at Ken subtly) came to this forest, as you know, no human has ever ventured at these parts since we’re protected by a barrier.” said Klein, reminiscing of the past.“True,

Master did say that we would be teleported at any random place, I wonder how they are doing-‘“Will you stop talking to yourself?”‘Oh Saber, he’s going to be my opponent? fair enough.’ the other just smirked at him.“Can’t help it.” said Ken and smirked back. “Let’s train?” he asked, the other nodded, as he took out his two half an arm’s length daggers, Ken took out his scythe.“You do know that you’re in a disadvantage, right?”“Yeah, I’ll manage, Wind Magic: Surgical Sweep!” with a swing coming from the back to the front, a burst of wind flew directly towards Saber, creating smoke along the way.‘Now to cover myself, Illusion Magic: Mirage.’With Saber’s vision obstructed, he sidestepped to the left and planted himself to the wall as he suspects

Ken’s POV (12 yrs. and 3 months old)“What was that all about?” I turned to Wilbert who asked.“My support magic tool got destroyed.” I showed him the ash left behind, making his eyes widen along with Celine’s brief confused look then mirrored his.“How?!” asked Celine. I put my right forefinger to my lips and said…“Secret, I’ll tell you guys later, for now, we’ve got a class to attend to.” I smiled at them and walked towards the field. “Come on guys! Let’s not be late!” I shouted back and sprinted off.“You won’t get away from us that easily.” said Wilbert.“Wait for me!” shouted Celine catching up to Wilbert with their weapons in tow. I’m here first! (smiles to himself) Now what would be a good show to present, using moon magic would be overkill, how about ice and lightning, I haven’t seen them use one, in fact, I haven’t seen them use magic other than teleportation, except for princess Lang of course, a-“What are you thinking?!” SWEET MOTHER OF ALL--“What’d you do that for?!” I

Third Person’s POV (12 yrs. and 3 months old)“Yes, but don’t worry, we won’t be using spells today like what we did yesterday.” He explained.“But how can we train our magic if we don’t use spells.” He said.“Have you heard of increasing your mana?”“I haven’t, why?” Ken smiled.“Then you can learn today, but first may I ask, have you tried tapping into the world energy?” he asked.“Sometimes I did, and only on those desperate times when I don’t have mana.” the other replied“What if I told you that you could use the world energy, draw it in to yourself, to increase your mana?” surprise written all over his face with wide eyes, haha funny.“How?” he asked.“Here’s how.” Ken squatted down and looked up at him to do the same, Icarus reluctantly followed.“Must we have to do this, it’s kind of hot right now.” He said, voicing out his annoyance.“You’ll get used to it, now close your eyes and follow what I instruct.” Icarus did what was told and closed his eyes. “Use your mana to reach o
