Aatrox was breathing heavily as he saw his team's players lying on the ground breathing heavily as they tried to absorb energy from the environment. Everyone had used a lot of energy during the match and now they were very weak.
Aatrox found the match very amusing. Each throw he should think of several possibilities of things that could happen, no lethal skill was used, thus making the match only strategic. Not to mention that because everyone had to use skills all the time, it was a great practice.
After a minute while the players from both teams rested, Aatrox and his team went to shake hands with the players from the other team. Aatrox's team won with 89 points while the other team had scored 71 points against them.
"Big Brotheeeer! It was sooo coool!!! You looked like a superhero when you were jumping so high and running so fast!" Bryan said as he came running with Bruna.
"Yeees! That time you slapped the ball so hard I thought it would explode!" Bruna also said with extreme excitement.
Aatrox and his friends listening to the children's compliments couldn't help but have big smiles on their faces.
"We haven't had time to ask before, but these are your younger siblings, Ben?" James asked.
"Yes, they are! These two little munchkins are my little siblings." Aatrox responded with a proud smile as he stroked the twins' heads.
"You can see... the beauty came from the family." Dylan said while making a sad expression.
"I understand your frustration friend... I'm feeling the same things." Jude answered as he bent down and began to draw circles of sadness on the ground.
Aatrox looked at them curiously, seeing this, James explained. "You three are pretty enough to be Hollywood actors. They're frustrated because they don't think they can compete with it."
"Thank you, big friend. You were really cool with your shield during the game. I really liked it when you made an even bigger shield appear to defend the ball." Bruna said with a smile, happy to have been called beautiful.
When Dylan heard the little girl say that he had looked nice during the match, he quickly puffed his chest and tried to look as confident as possible.
"What about me, what did you think?" Jude got up and asked hopefully.
"When you used that ice magic to make the other team fall, it was a very funny, friend with glasses." Bryan said with his eyes glowing as he remembered the moves Jude used during the match.
When Jude heard what he said, he quickly opened a proud smile and began to explain things to Bryan just as Dylan was explaining to Bruna how he used the shield's abilities.
As Aatrox had told them, neither of them said or let it appear that they knew how to control the energy. It might be acceptable if they knew about magic, since their brother was so powerful, but if they already knew how to use magic it would be another story. Children only begin to learn and use magic at the age of 11, and the twins were only 4 years old.
"If they hear what the two of them have to say and do not forget, it will be of great help when they begin to cultivate." James said next to Aatrox as he watched the four of them talking.
Aatrox looked at James and responded with a slight smile. "Yes, I know that if it's just me teaching them when the time comes, it might get a little boring and boring. Giving them the opportunity to learn from two of the most powerful young masters of our generation will be good for them."
"Mn." James agreed, it would often be nice to have other perspectives. "And you, every time I see you use energy, I feel like you're still on the Knight level. Me and these guys reached the Baron level this week, our other friend went into isolated cultivation in order to reach us. But with your strength, I don't believe you're at a lower level than we are." He said as he crossed his arms and kept looking at the children laughing as they talked to his friends.
Aatrox heard what he said and thought it made sense. In the world of cultivation, cultivators who can fight against other cultivators ranking above them are very rare. Cultivators who can win a fight against cultivators ranked above them are several times rarer to find. But Aatrox was not destined to be normal, since the moment he started cultivating the God-Killer technique his strength began to grow a few times faster and more efficient than that of the cultivators of normal techniques. But he wouldn't say that to James. "My master used a technique on me that allows me to hide my ranking. Unfortunately he had to give up a lot of things when he used that technique." He answered using his Master as an excuse.
James heard his explanation and accepted it. After all, his older brother has an artifact that allows him to hide his cultivation as well. So much so that he uses this artifact when he goes to school to not let any energy leak accidentally and affect anyone.
Dylan and Jude were very pleased as they saw the children paying attention to everything they were saying, and began to explain it even more. Aatrox and the twins obviously wouldn't complain about it and let them continue.
When Dylan and Jude noticed, there were only six of them on the court. Probably more than two hours had passed while they were teaching the children and when they looked at the clock, they had to run back to the hotel as it would soon be time for their flight back to their hometown.
"It was very nice to plying with you, Ben. Nice to meet you too, kids." Dylan said as he said goodbye. "When you go to Hill Valley, let me know, I'll introduce you to the best places, we can take advantage of that to have my revenge."
"Of course! When I go, I'll send you a message warning you. I'm gonna kick your ass again." Aatrox said with a slight laugh.
"When you go to Bluffington, let me know too. We haven't had a chance to exchange notes yet. It was nice meeting you." Jude quit too.
"I'll leave you in the same state I left Dylan." Aatrox responded by laughing.
Jude laughed at Benjamin's joke, but still in the back of his mind he swore that he would train more, so he could have the chance to beat his new friend.
James left with both of them to help them as they prepared to leave town with their parents.
On the way home, Aatrox asked the children. "What did you think?"
"Very nice, brother! We'll train hard to be just like you when we grow up!" Bruna said with enthusiasm.
"I'm glad you guys liked it. If you're serious about training, you'll be able to do what we did even younger than us." Aatrox said with a smile.
They kept talking until they got home. On the way, Aatrox found out from the children that Dylan and Jude even explained some of their family techniques, probably because they thought the children would have forgotten until the day they started farming. When Aatrox heard the children's techniques, he was a little impressed. The techniques weren't as useless, as he thought all the earthlings' techniques were.
When Aatrox got home, his phone beeped from a notification.
