Hello all and welcome back to my story. Sorry for not posting yesterday I was very busy and very tired. Thank you for reading.

Arthur's pov
After the constant physical training from the last two and a half years my body has improved massively to the point where no one could match me in strength alone. Not only that my technique had being refined to perfection, to where I was learning new ways to attack without magic constantly.
According to uncle Jin woo though I had her to get out of the mindset of the fact that I was used to being in a taller body. Although he was pleased with my current standards and said we would move on as it was getting boring to watch me train all the time. Now we are moving onto training the mana in my body and how to effectively take it in and use it.
As time dragged on a year had passed and I was getting better at storing and using mana without my core, which was still sealed up, and could manipulate it a bit. This made me wonder who uncle Jin woo really was as he had knowledge about mana that I had never heard about. He also brought silvie along with him to train her in secrecy which confused me.
After another year and a half I was getting better at mana to the point where I could take large quantities of mana in my body and use it to destroy a few trees.
"Not bad" I heard as I turned to see the expressionless face of uncle Jin woo.
"You don't seem too impressed" I ask with a depressed face.
"Well when you can destroy a battlefield purely using mana then I'll be impressed" he said with a faint smile as I looked at him in horror of those high expectations.
"I'm not a monster like you" I replied with glare, thinking that I'll die of old age before that happens.
"Oh by the way your sisters birthday we'll be in a few days and now that we've concluded training, we shall head back" he said elevating my spirits at the thought of seeing my family again.
"So it's being five years huh" I said as I revelled in the thought of leaving this boring place.
"So can you release the seal on my mana core?" I asked thinking how much better it will be to advance my level and how strong I'll be.
"No" he replied as I looked at him with a confused and annoyed look.
"Huh, why not?!" I asked with both anger and confusion.
"I want to see you in real combat first before I do that" he said with his signature smile.
I sighed in defeat as I saw silvie running at my in full speed in her fox form before jumping onto my shoulder then to my head.
"Papa" she said with a grin.
"How are you silvie?" I asked as I could see she was stronger than before.
"Much stronger now, he helped enchanted my abilities massively" she replied with grin.
"That's good" I said.
"Let's go then, also don't tell anyone about how I slowed time" uncle Jin woo said before snapping his fingers.
I could see that the mist around the island had disappeared and the strange energy that I assumed slowed time apart returned to Jin woo. I felt his mana encase me and silvie as we turned into a flash of light before speeding through the air at full speed. What I was happy about was that now I was stronger I could see more of the ground than before compared to the blue I felt back then.
After a few minutes we reached xyrus city and I could see the manor and everyone who was waiting outside. I smiled at the thought of seeing everyone again.
Alice POV
The year time limit was up and I waited outside with a worried and happy look as both Rey and Ellie stood next to me whilst everyone stood behind me.
We looked into the sky to hear a large boom and a flash of black light as it descended slowly and came to a stop in front of us. As they came into view I saw Jin woo and how he hadn't changed and saw the other person standing next to him.
"Arthur!" I shouted before running to hug him which he accepted.
"Mother" he responded warmly before hugging me back.
Sung Jin woos POV
I saw the display of mother and son love before me as I walked off and greeted the rest of them. As their display ended Alice came to me and said hi whilst Rey and Ellie went to hug Arthur.
"Well then now that the hugging has ended shall we go inside" I said.
"Sure" they all said as we walked inside.
We all went to the kitchen as it was midday and no one had ate yet as they were all anxious to see Arthur. I was talking with Rey and Alice about any changes and Arthur talked with Vincent and Tabitha and the children were playing with silvie.
"Oh by the way, Arthur, why can't I sense your mana core?" Rey said alerting everyone.
"Uncle Jin woo sealed it for me training" he responded with a smile as they all looked at me in horror at this unknown ability.
"When will you unseal it?" Alice asked obviously concerned at the thought of her son being unable to use mana to fight with.
"Relax, I'll unseal it when I've seen his full abilities in combat and determined if it's necessary" I replied as they all breathed a sigh of relief.
We continued to talked as we moved to another room as they asked about his training, to which he responded the intensity of it and I recurved death glares from Alice as she lectured on how I could've killed him to which Rey joined in.
"Relax, he's fine see, besides I was healing him every day so he wouldn't have died" I responded.
Well even if he did I could just have brought him back to life, I mean death is my domain. After the lecture we all continued talking before eating again and going to bed. I left that night and returned to the beast glades to get Ellie a gift for her birthday tomorrow. I could tell that she has an earth type mana so I wanted to get her an S class earth beast will. After searching for a few hours and amassing a large collection of beast cores I found one with a beast will that suited her.
As the day started I saw the large amounts of decoration that was put up and how there where countless presents and cakes on the table. After breakfast and the blowing out of candles, it was present time. She received lots of jewels and clothes until it was my turn.
"Here you go" I said passing her the box as he opened it in excitement.
She lifted up the round crystal of the earth type mana beast (I don't have a clue what type of monsters there are so I'm calling it that) as the mana overflowed in the room as everyone looked on in shock.
"What is it?" Ellie asked.
"The mana core of an S ranked mana beast with beast will" I replied as Vincent fainted in shock.
"This is much to precious of a gift, We can't accept it" both Ellie and Alice said simultaneously.
"It's fine, it wasn't hard to kill just required time and searching for the right one" I said as it they couldn't think of a response.
"Wait, what do you mean the right one?" Rey said after growing envious over the mana core.
"Well I kept finding mana beasts with earth abilities but none of them had a beast will so I got a lot of mana cores" I said.
"H-h-how many?" The now awake Vincent asked.
I smiled before waving my hand as a small hill of mana cores appeared as Vincent and Rey fainted as the rest of them had their jaws drop. I put the mana core back in my storage space as Ellie thanked me with the gift.
"I'll help you fuse with the core later on" Arthur said.
After the presents, I saw that Vincent went with Arthur somewhere and the rest went to go shopping. I left the house and walked to the adventurers guild before informing the guild master so the problem that arose last time wouldn't happen again. As I reached the building I saw that a large carriage went by that had royal symbols on.
As they went past I could see someone looking back at me, she had black hair and eyes with a black dress. She looked at me and blushed before turning away, I sighed at this hoping my life doesn't get even more annoying then it will be getting.
I continued walking and eventually came across the adventurers guild, I then saw the guild master in front pacing back and forth waiting for me.
"Yo" I said waving.
He jumped and waved back, we exchanged greetings and went up to his office. "May I asked where you been, mister Jin woo?" He asked.
"I was away on personal business, has something happened?" I said with my usual blank face.
"Yes, annoyingly the council of Dicathen wants to use the adventurers as part of their army in case the other continent plans to attack" he said sighing as he rubbed his temples.
"Oh so they finally discovered that place" I said.
"Other pla... so you knew about the other continent?!!" He asked with a shocked expression.
"Course I found out about it years ago" I said as he struggled to find any words.
"Don't worry though, I doubt anything will go wrong, besides I have something's I want to sell to you" I said as this perked his interest.
"May I ask what this is?" He said enthusiastically.
I passed a storage ring I filled with the mana cores to him. After a few seconds I heard a thud as I saw he fainted. I sighed thinking that this was troublesome before leaving a note telling him to send the money to my home before leaving.
I traveled back to the manor and noticed that Arthur had a bracelet on his hand. I saw that it restricted two of his elements, and saw that it was fire and water. I sighed and said I could do that for him but he rejected.
"I want to be able to do it myself when I'm in a tough situation" he relied.
"Suit yourself" I said.
"Shall we go in, the parties starting?" He asked as I realised that he was in a suit.
"Go in first I'll get changed and come in" I said noticing how I was still in a shirt and trousers.
"Okay" he said walking in, whilst I changed my clothes into a full suit before walking in.
Instantly I felt the stares of countless people as the locked onto my, more specifically I could see the women start to blush as the men glared at me.
"Happy birthday Ellie" I said as she smiled at me.
"Thank you, uncle Jin woo" she said with a small bow.
After that I went off to get a drink whilst talking to Rey, I could see that he was getting drunk so for the fun of it I proposed that Arthur and Ellie should dance. Unfortunately he took that idea to heart and got everyone's attention, I turned to see the cold and frosty face of Alice as she glared at him. I thought about praying for him but who would I pray to, I am a literal god so i don't know.
Shaking those thoughts out of my head I saw that Arthur had invited her to dance to which she accepted. I then saw they danced perfectly which surprised me as I never pictured Arthur to dance.
"Umm... excuse me?" I turned to see a young women in a blue dress blushing as she asked for me.
"What can I do for you m'lady?" I replied with a smile.
She blushed even more as she struggled to speak. "I was wondering if you would like to d-d-dance with me?" She asked me causing me to smile at her request.
As I was feeling happy and thought it would be rude to deny her I replied. "Sure" I said with my smile before holding out my hand and she took it as I led her to the dance floor.
Thankfully during my time in earth I became a professional at ballroom dancing and all eyes were on us. I could feel the glared of the countless men as all the women were glaring at my dance partner with jealousy as we continued to dance.
Arthur's POV
I watched as uncle Jin woo danced perfectly with the women in his arms as even I had to praise his dance skills as they were the best I had ever seen. They continued dancing until eventually I could see she got tired and he took her off the floor. I could she that she was very happy and went back to her friends and gloated about it as I walked over to uncle Jin woo.
"I never expected you to be able to dance" I said as he leaned against the wall with a glass in his hand.
"Well, I was bored so I became a professional in many arts" he replied.
"Course you did" I said with a defeated look.
I then saw that Gideon was here and went to talk with him, we continued our talk on the balcony until I saw out the corner of my eye a beautifully decorated carriage. I also saw the royal symbol of the Eralith symbol as it left. I smiled thinking I'll see her in a few days.
The party went on and the night ended as everyone went home. We were left to cleaning up the huge mess that was caused. After cleaning we went to bed and for the next few days relaxed before it was time to head to xyrus academy.
