Master Robert and grandpa Hyun went in to have a look at Alisha. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her breaths were not in sync.
"Both of them should be back by tomorrow... Until then she will have to bear it." Master Robert gently patted Alisha on her forehead.
"Poor child... I always told her to keep control of her rage... But she never learned it..." Grandpa Hyun sighed looking at his injured granddaughter.
"Well yeah... She is Dane, one of the few descenders of Red Dragon, so controlling her rage is not easy..." Master Robert added.
"Let's wait for Zoya and Kazuya, we will continue her treatment when they return with herbs." Master Robert walked out of his place.
Walking for some distance he found Zeno sitting near the pond of Tears. Lost in his thoughts.
'This child... I doubt if he's a Dane...' Master Robert wondered when he saw Zeno sitting calmly without doing anything.
Danes were the most feared clan in the whole Flare continent. And due to tk their rare bloodline which matched that of the Red Dragon, they had super-strong and rare abilities, but due to this, they were always filled with rage. But Zeno was different.
"What are you doing here child?" Master Robert decided to approach him.
"Nothing... Was just wondering when will the dragons be back with the herbs..." Zeno replied in a tired tone.
"You are worried about your sister don't you?" Master Robert asked another question.
"Yeah, after all, she is my dear sister..." Zeno replied in a shaky voice not sure what he was saying as if the words just came out of his heart.
"I get it, she will be healed back to normal by tomorrow, tomorrow both the dragons and herbs will be back." Master Robert replied in a comforting tone.
"That's awesome!" Zeno was delighted to know his sister was going to get back to normal by tomorrow.
"Yeah, so... Your grandpa told me, you wanted to learn a second ability?" He saw in Zeno's eyes.
"Yeah I want to, if not I will be sold..." Zeno felt disheartened thinking about him being sold like some cheap toy.
"The best way to discover your new ability is to practice, and the best way of practice is to see two experts fight." Master Robert stood up and started walking back to his home.
"Your grandpa and I will be battling shortly, be sure to watch us, you will learn many new things." He disappeared with a sudden gust of wind.
Zeno was really excited to watch his grandpa fight, he had never seen him battle in reality, but he has heard many stories of him crushing the whole army by himself.
Zeno rushed to his grandpa to ask him about his battle tactics.
"Grandpa! I heard from master Robert that you are going to fight him? What strategies are you going to use?" He wasted no time asking his questions.
"Haha... I won't be you my strategies, one of the biggest rules before you go into a battle, is not to disclose any of your plans to anyone, not even to your family members, the competitors can use them as hostages and learn everything about your plan." He explained to him a rule which he always followed before a battle.
"I see... But-"
"No buts, you will get to know about my plans for the battle, during the showdown, not before that." Grandpa Hyun walked out of the room and headed towards an empty place near the pond of Tears.
Zeno silently followed him, he didn't want to distract him before his battle.
On reaching the field they found a few battles on the other side of the battlefield.
A red coloured dragon, which resembled a red dragon but was Red Reaper. A massive snake whose body was underground, the only thing which was above was his head. A massive turtle almost the size of a small mountain, and a group of ice shooting small dragons.
"G... Grandpa... Why are these things over here..." Zeno took a step back on seeing a crowd of beasts.
"They are here to spectate masters battle." Grandpa Hyun walked forward until he reached the centre of that place.
"Why do they want to spectate?" Zeno was still confused.
"If master loses these beasts will leave their master, that's the way of beasts, so if you lose even a single battle in the presence of these beasts, your beasts would flee, or join the winning trainer if he is also beast tamer."
"But... But I remember your beast, ut never left even when you lost to father in the practice battle..." Zeno was curious to learn about these beasts.
"Some beasts are connected to their master with blood, that means they won't leave you u til you die, it is like a blood contract." A massive blow of wind came out of nowhere and master Robert appeared in front of grandpa Hyun.
"We greet the greatest beast tamer of all times, master Robert." All the beasts bowed low to him.
"Greetings master." Zeno and Grandpa Hyun bowed to him.
"Thank you, everyone, let's get started!" Master Robert jumped up and landed on the water.
"What the heck??!! He can walk on water?" Zeno exclaimed in surprise it was his first time encountering someone who can walk on water.
"Expected no less... After all, he is my master." Grandpa Hyun jumped on the water and started walking just like master Robert.
"You too??!!!" Zeno never knew his grandfather was capable of walking on water.
"He does not know how to walk on water, he is copying master Robert." The huge snake replied to Zeno.
"Copy huh... You were always like this..." Master Robert acknowledged his copy skills.
"Ok let's get started!" Grandpa Hyun dashed forward and started circling master Robert.
He was unbelievably fast, his footsteps made the water splash up almost eight feet above!
"Not bad..." Master Robert acknowledged grandpa Hyuns trick.
"Water Barrier!!"
Grandpa Hyun concentrated his aura around the water surrounding master Robert.
Grandpa Hyun forced his aura around the barrier squeezing it into a small ball of water.
"Blizzard!" Grandpa Hyun unleashed a strong icy wind freezing the whole barrier.
"Woah!! Grandpa, you can do it!" Zeno was hyped to see his grandpa dominate the whole thing.
"Not a chance." The snake murmured in a low tone.
"He's not even in the same league." Small ice shooting beasts continued looking towards the ice ball.
"Not bad Hyun, but im master for a reason..." Master Robert closed his eyes, joined both his hands and sat in a meditating position.
"Inferno Summon!!"
*BOOOOM*
