Eight months passed.
In these eight months, Lith’s everyday routine was pretty much the same. He would wake up, have breakfast, have fun with his mother and his sister sometimes, train, eat Lunch, train again and then finally drink his mother’s blood and sleep.
He didn’t take Lilith’s anal virginity as he kept it as a reward for himself. It was for when he completed his training. It was still the month of October and there were still two more months left before the entrance test.
Today was a big day for him. Well, not a very big day but sort of important day. Today he finally became an Archery Master!
Lith couldn’t believe it but it was really happening. He didn’t need to take take a lot of time to master this weapon. Last time it took him a minimum of three years to master a weapon but now it happend in just eight months! This was simply shocking and exciting to him but he calmed down and somehow understood that the reason for this could be none other than his constitution.
His mother had told him once that the effect of drinking her blood daily would not be shown before but only after he awakens his magic core. This maybe the reason he has gotten such good comprehension ability that made him master a weapon in only 8 months.
He felt very grateful to his mother. Without her, all of this wouldn’t be possible. He didn’t know how strong he was but he had a feeling that he was very strong. It was all thanks to his mother and sister. His sister made him have a solid foundation, his mother provided him with such a good constitution and also trained him, for all these reasons he felt very grateful to them. He came to love them more and more.
Lilith and Lucy too felt the emotional changes of Lith and were happy that he felt in such a way. Lith took a break today for atleast a week and would spend time with his family in these days. He didn’t need to train more as it wouldn’t benefit him unless he became a rank 2 but that would take some time.
In all these days of training, he had started to understand the elements well and was almost close to a breakthrough to rank 2. He just needed one epiphany and that was it. To advance, one needed to increase their magic core area and that was done by having a greater understanding of the world along with high spiritual power.
To advance to rank 2 Lith needed to have his magic core area under 10,000km². The most elites only had an area of 2000-3000km² but Lith was different. He already had his magic core area at 4300km² because of all the education he received from Lilith and Lucy and his spiritual power was also very high due to training everyday but despite having his magic core area at such an area, he didn’t feel that he had reached rank 2.
Once one ranks up, they understand that they have done it when their magic core colour changes and they feel all their physical attributes increase. Rank 1 magic core colour was plain black from the outside. Rank 2 one was grey. Once one starts to advance into their new rank, the colour starts to change and once it fully changes, it means one has advanced.
All in all, advancement is understood by these signs and to advance one needed to increase the area of their magic core.
Lith’s magic core currently was very close to becoming fully grey but it wasn’t done yet. Despite him having twice the area of that of elite people. Nevertheless he needed an epiphany to rank up and it wasn’t happening anytime soon.
Lith spent his rest of the day today with his mother and sister by watching movies, cuddling and snacking with them.
…
Auckland city, Villmer.
“Hmm, it says that it was supposed to be here. I have been searching for two days for the ruins that was mentioned in the secret scroll.” A man in a black robe muttered to himself.
He check around and it had been a few hours but he still couldn’t find any entrance to the ruins. He then came in front of a cave and he found some weird fluctuations coming from the inside. He walked in with his guard up. He suddenly felt a great pressure on him. He looked around but he still couldn’t find the source of it.
BAMM!
He got hit out of nowhere and hit the wall on the side. He was bleeding with from the back of his head as that was where he had gotten it. He quickly tried to take some healing pills but to a blurry figure came in front of him and smacked his palm on his abdomen or more clearly the area where his magic core was.
The blurry figure left quickly after his strike. The man tried to activate a space scroll to get out of this place as quickly as possible because he realised that it was clearly a trap. There was no ruins here. He tried to use his spiritual power but he couldn’t. He realised his magic core had been sealed along with his spiritual power and he started panicking.
“Feeling helpless, aren’t you? Think about those people that you stole from and bullied to death by scamming them with such missions. You didn’t think you would be scammed into such a thing, did you?” A voice like that of a teenage boy came from the entrance of the cave.
A figure walked in front of the man and it was that of a handsome teen with black hair and blue eyes. He was carrying a longsword in his arms and was walking elegantly to towards him.
“You, who the fuck are you?” The man asked in a slightly angry tone.
“Oh? Angry? The other people were calm unlike you and they even tried to negotiate their life with me. Aren’t you going to do the same?” The teen asked.
“*Ptui* stop with this bullshit scum. I know you want me dead even if I would try to negotiate with you.” The man spat at his side and said.
“Oh? Interesting. But it’s wrong of you to call me a scum when you, yourself, are one.” The teen said in a calm way.
“Were you the one who attacked me just now and sealed my core and spiritual power?” The man asked in an angry tone.
“Obviously not. How can I, a rank 1, hit someone of rank 6 so easily.”
“So you hired someone to seal me. Tell me, which bastards relative or friend or whatever are you that you are doing it for?” The man asked in a calm way, his anger gone.
“I am merely a person who likes to bring justice by punishing evil shits like you. Even if I can’t do it myself, doesn’t mean judgement couldn’t be brought up. I simply need to hire people to make them kill you.” The teen said in a calm way.
“Why? What benefits are there?” The man asked in an annoyed tone.
“Oh there are none. I was chosen by the world to become the Hero and I am simply doing that. Anyway, you are the only one with whom I have talked in such length. Time for you to repent for the evil deeds you have done.” The teen walked in front of the man and chopped off his head.
After the man died, the teen started feeling changes in his body again. He wasn’t excited like before as he had experienced this many times. The teen spread rumours stating that there were ruins in Auckland city’s outskirts and only accessible by the bloodline descendants of a family from a place called Earth. This was a bait that he gave the Earthlings to lure them in and after those people came over, he checked their backgrounds and when found that they had done even a single crime, he killed them.
Most of the people who came died and only a few had left from the woods alive. He could kill so many people as he simply asked a servant from his family to help him with some work and being a prodigy from a big clan, his family too agreed with his request. There were only a few months left for the Academy entrance test and they thought he might be training or preparing for something, so they let him be.
He killed many Earthlings in these eight months and gained a lot of unique abilities. Of course, half of them were sort of useless and couldn’t even compare to the 10 seconds Super Reflexes unique ability. In any case, he had gained big time and he thought he for sure is unparalleled in his own rank with these abilities.
The teen waited in the woods for his next prey after killing an Earthling.
…
Two months passed.
Lith spent his time doing nothing but training in these last two months. He hadn’t had any sort of fun as he was dedicated to improve himself as much as possible for the Academy entrance test. He had worked very hard in these ten months. The training in these ten months couldn’t even compare to the ones he had to in the past ten years of his life.
His training was very brutual. He had talked to his big sister about it and she only said that it was only the starting. She could be even more brutual than this. She then bragged how she herself endured so much painful training when she was just a Saint rank. Lith cut her bragging halfway as he didn’t want to listen to the torture she experienced. It was too much for his soft heart to imagine his beloved big sister to get hurt. Even though it was his mother who was torturing her for her own good, he still didn’t want to listen.
Lilith was sad when she was too brutual on Lith during training but she composed herself and still gave him that. She didn’t feel too sad as this wasn’t too much hurtful to him or too brutual like the case of Lucy. Lith only got few broken bones, limbs crushed fully or just his upper or lower body turned into meatpaste. Lilith had done much worse things to Lucy and so she didn’t feel this was very brutual to Lith.
Lith had the opposite idea but he still endured it and trained hard. For completing his training, he wanted to take his reward from his mother but he felt like he should save it up. He should do it after the entrance test as that was the thing he was working hard for. After his entrance test, his result would bore fruit and he felt he would be much more satisfied when he took his reward at that time.
Now he was waiting. The opening of the entrance test of Abalax World Academy would be next week. It was always done at the second week of new year’s which was also the week when the Neutral Continent experienced a surge of the Magical Energy density of all elements. The density was increased by around 50% for a period of three weeks. In these three weeks when the elemental energies were at the peak in the Neutral Continent, the Academy conducted it’s entrance test.
In just a week now, rank 1s from all over the world would flood into the academy for the entrance test. Only a week left for the test now.
