" Master "
Reimen said as he bowed down in front of a man who was sitting back, staring down at him from a throne
" It looks like the boy has reached the sanctuary level of discern "
Reimen whispered, loud enough for the man to hear him
" Discern? "
The man questioned, his voice sounding ominous and deep
" Yes, sire "
Reimen replied, as he slowly looked up at the man
" If I remember correctly, I sealed away the knowledge to achieve a level of control higher than that of Enhance "
The man said as he rubbed his chin with both his thumb and index finger
" Yes my king, but- "
" So why is it that a boy, was able to obtain it? "
The man questioned, interrupting Reimen's sentence, with a loud and powerful tone, which made Reimen lower his head even more
" Please allow me to explain sire! "
Reimen screamed, his voice echoing throughout the room as the man who was sitting on the throne simply sighed, staring at Reimen with nothing but disappointed eyes
" As you already know, the boy was able to defeat your son, Arthur, with incredible ease I may add. Not to mention he is physically strong, very strong, and by the looks of it, he doesn't possess an ability either, so if he were to awaken one, he'd be immensely strong "
Reimen explained as the man raised an eyebrow in response, proceeding to chuckle a few seconds later
" So what you're saying is... "
" Yes sire, the boy is elite worthy "
Reimen said, finishing the sentence for the man, who tapped his own chin in response
" Give me an estimate "
The man ordered as Reimen nodded, slowly raising his head to look up at the figure
" He's currently 15 at moment, around the same age as your son, and yet he's immensely more powerful than him, so I'd say, that around the age of 18 to 20 he'd be as strong if not stronger than I am right now "
Reimen replied, making the man squint his eyes in doubt
" I understand that he is stronger than Arthur, but, you expect me to believe that in such a short time he'd become as strong as you? That's absurd, even for Arthur it would take him till the age of 30 to reach you "
The man said, not believing anything Reimen had just told him
" Sire, it is true that my estimate is a bit unbelievable but, the boy, he was gone for a month, and when he came back, he came back stronger than he was when he defeated your son, not by a little but to the point where he could defeat his past self with not much difficulty, so the fact that he can become as strong as I am now, in such a short amount of time, isn't all that impossible "
Reimen replied, bowing his head once he was done with his explanation, making the man raised his eyebrows in surprise
" I see, then, you're allowed to do with him as you please "
The man said as he slowly stood up from his throne, taking in a deep breath
" If you have nothing else to tell me then leave my room at once "
The man said, grabbing a robe which was on top of a tail, wrapping it around his half-naked body slowly
"Actually, My leash. There is something else "
Reimen replied as he pulled out a card from his pocket, standing up and handing it over to the man
" I shall leave now "
Reimen whispered, bowing his head before leaving the room
" A card? "
The man said to himself, opening it up, and as soon as he did, a vein popped out from his forehead
" Fu, you fucking bastard "
He said to himself as he read through the card, which said
' Sup Romulus, long time no talk dipshit, how's life, you bastard? Well Anyway, enough with the reunion talk, be prepared, war is coming '
With nothing but an irritated look on his face, the man would squeeze the paper, burning it with his dark energy.
While that happened, in a distant part of the kingdom Shu found himself punching a white and thick wall, which regenerated every time he left his prints on it
" Hey Shu, leave some enthusiasm for the tournament "
Ean said while sitting on the ground as he watched Shu punch
" I know, all I'm doing right now is warming up, besides I can't rest when he's training as well "
Shu replied as he began to punch the wall even faster
" Yeah, him.. "
Ean whispered, turning to look at Arthur who was a few miles away from the two of them, stumping the ground and releasing ice everywhere
" By the way Shu, how are you so sure that you're going to fight him in the tournament? You might end up fighting someone else "
Ean pointed out, as all Shu did in responses was smirk while increasing the speed of his punches until they eventually became a blur
" I know, but, there's no one stronger than him in the entirety of the academy so, I know for a fact I'm meeting him at the end of the tournament, considering that we're the strongest "
Shu replied, suddenly stopping his barrage of punches, taking in a deep breath, proceeding to charge his hands with his blue sanctuary energy, continuing with his violent stream of attacks
" I guess... "
Ean said, with a bit of doubt in his tone before turning his attention to Asai who was simply meditating at the end of the empty white room with his sword in between his legs
" Hmm, hey, what do you think of Asai "
Ean questioned as he looked up at Shu, who kept punching endlessly with sweat running down his face
" He has a lot of energy, but not the destructive type, like me and Arthur, he probably has a lot of technique, enough to match me, but he won't be a problem, even you can beat him Ean "
Shu replied, as he would then separate his legs with quickness, proceeding to pull his arm back, charging it up with even more of his energy, until it eventually resembled burning fire, with that in hand he would punch the wall, so hard the sound would echo around the room, not only that but he also left a gigantic crater in the wall, which would, of course, be replenished a few seconds later
" If, you say so, still though, he was a bit scary to stand around with "
Ean said as he stared at Asai, before throwing his body back, laying on the ground, closing his eyes, and beginning to mediate himself
