It's been five years and a lot has changed, first my system finally awaken wanna see it don't worry i will show you later, I'm currently under my grandpa's S rank pressure at the top of Mount kiaza.
Oh i haven't just been playing survival games with Grandpa the old man has been teaching me his fighting style. Question what is the most convenient and most readily available weapon humans have.
That was the question i was asked before the training of cause i said what came to my mind first after all it's what I've been using since before i died the first time. My hands, how do you think he responded.
The old fart said i was only half correct,he said it was the body then proceeded to train me in his fist technique, just say i was correct and praise me but no he just had to be petty.
Well the technique was truly terrifying so i will forgive him,I mean he's not going to be physically stronger than me forever and what he did with the technique was truly frightening, the old man actually punched the rainy clouds away and cleared the sky he I'm sure he could do much more if he wanted.
But the training method he gave me was hell,he brought over a mountain size black ore and told me it was ten times harder than iron and i was to punch a hole through the ore while wearing brace that weight about 300kg on each hand and leg.
He said it was to enhance the force of the movement involved in the punch,he also warned that unless I'm trying to kill someone below B rank i should never punch them seriously in other words I'm currently strong enough to kill a C rank without even forming my core yet.
When i achieve that with the method I'm planning i will probably be strong enough to fight anyone 2 ranks ahead of whatever rank I am.
In case you are wondering why I'm just sitting here absorbing Mana instead of doing any physical training, well my time here is about to be cut short. Mount kiaza is expecting guests, royal guest I must say and they must not find me here.
Well you see mount kiaza is a resource that belongs to the royals and my grandparents are just here to protect it from falling into the hands of enemies. And i suspect it's also to keep them away from politics of the kingdom.
Think about it two SS rank might not necessarily defeat a SS+ but they certainly won't die if they are actually decent enough. Considering the fact my grandparents are called Victor the mad and Aurelia the white witch they most definitely are not weak in the SS rank circles.
So if they were instrested in the down fall of the crown they most definitely can cause some trouble which is why they are in the boarder of the kingdom with very powerful enemies to keep them busy. Oh and i will be facing this enemy after i leave mount kiaza.
Now why are the royals coming here well it's the same reason i came here the high density Mana. It's also what has been keeping them on top of every other kingdom in terms of growth speed.
Now I'm currently 11 years old and i was told the king youngest child who is 13 has awaken, so all the King's children will be coming here there current age being 19,17,15 and the last who just awaken at 13.
If you are wondering why they had to wait this long to come here, well i have the old man to thank for that. He used the angry at the king card and the fact that he was cheated by the king to force a deal that allowed me to spend time here without disturbance.
He basically said he was not going to babysit each of the Prince and princess and watched them grow while he has to deal with me,so if they want him to perform his duties they have to come together when they have all awaken.
As expected the king was furious but he understood it was pay back for his actions, that didn't stop him from hating my family especially me cause according to him it's all the fault of my birth.
If you are wondering why he didn't just send another SS rank to protect his children well he couldn't, first of all no SS rank doesn't have a family to protect while also protecting key positions for the kingdom they can leave for too long.
But most importantly who wants to spend years in the territory of Victor the mad and Aurelia the white witch when they are definitely not welcome. Yeah they most likely pass on the opportunity stating whatever excuse they could come up with.
So yeah the king had to wait and the wait was more than 6 years. I'm sure the one most annoyed was definitely the first Prince after all he had already awaken all those years ago and realized his birth rite was being denied him.
So Grandpa has arranged for me to go hunting while they are here and he will make sure to keep my where about a secret so no unnecessary accidents happen when i out on my own.
The royal palace
Father they must pay for this, said the first Prince.
They will and you shall have your revenge my son for this disrespect will bring about the end of their name, but you shall conduct yourself with the appropriate behavior befitting a prince of your status while you are there, for the old fool still has his use.
I understand father.
Also make sure none of your siblings step out of line, they are not as mature as you and will most likely make their dissatisfaction know.
As you wish father.
Good, go and make sure the girl force the idiot to agree,he is a thorn that has brought me nothing but shame since the day of his birth.
Without fail father. Marius the first Prince left the King's presence to get his siblings and move to were he and they will spend the next five years.
The kingdom Ebrae
Hmmm
What wrong mother.
It's nothing just our spie is in kiaza is still alive and it's passed two days.
Does that mean it was able to escape their detection mother.
No dear nothing can escape their detection, after all both are SS rank.
So it's more likely they stop looking.
Yes Clarissa is right i think they no longer need to hide whatever they were hiding.
What could they possibly be hiding that required them to waste their time killing your endless night just to stop now.
That what i would like to know dare Beatrice, though i do have a suspicion on what it might be.
You can't possibly be thinking it has anything to do with the boy right mother.
Clarissa,tell me when did i say kiaza went dark.
About six years ago.
Beatrice, when did the boy arrive at kiaza.
About six years ago.
The same time line,there is no way that a coincidence and from what we know from the capital the royals are going to kiaza now instead of most of them being there already. Why.
Isn't it because the king angered Victor the mad.
While that's true it can also be a convenient excuse to prevent them from coming to kiaza if he needed to protect something, which from his actions he definitely is.
That true mother but why do you think it has anything to do with the boy.
The only reason kiaza is worth the protection of two SS rank is the mountain but it off no use to them so why stop the royals from going there if not because they are using it for someone else and if they are caught then they will be facing the whole kingdom.
Oh that's good point mother but what does a coreless person need from mount kiaza, asked Clarissa.
Unless he is not actually coreless, said Beatrice.
That what i suspect and why this whole thing doesn't make sense.
Why is that mother, your deductions seem plausible enough.
Because i have felt the child to be sure he has no core after all i can't be sharing fake information, now can i. Just so we are clear he had no core then and have never seen any grow a core without one from birth.
Well you said you have never seen any labor as special as his birth so he might really just be special.
That true, he really might be special,if he his then we definitely don't want to be on his bad side.
So what do we do mother. Both girls asked together.
Simple my babies,we let someone else make all the noise so we can get all the information we need. And i know just who to use,i guess it's time to meet my favorite friends.
