Arthur leywin POV
I was currently 3 and at dark red core, since I was able to walk without difficulty my father started to train me.
He was not surprise that I already have a mana core, which is strange since from what I know through books humans take until their pre-teen to develop their core's, anyway.
My father taught me how to utilize mana and sometimes spar, while my mother taught me about what I need in everyday life, which is to read and write.
But even though we train everyday my father never allow me to purify my core. He said that it's useless to have a high core stage if you don't know how to properly utilize them. Which have a point.
Currently we're at the back of our house doing our spar.
"That's enough Art we're done for the day." said my father or Reynold ending our spar.
"But dad I can still continue!" said myself who was frustrated because I was not able to land a hit against him. Yes, ever since we started to train I never got a chance to land a single hit against him which frustrates me even more, imagine I'm unrivaled in my past world and crowned as a king but I can't land a single hit against my goofy Father.....
My pride as a king was crushed into pieces....
"I know but, you're mother was about to return from the market and we need to finish our training or we will face your mother's wrath." Said dad while shaking in fear.
"Yeah you're right dad we should wrapped thing's up or we're doomed once again." Said myself.
My mother Alice was a lovely mother and take care of our family well. Though when she's angry I swear I saw some horns sprouting on her forehead.
Last time when we're so engrossed on our training that we forgot the time. And we didn't hear my mother's voice when she's calling us to eat, and both me and dad was just suddenly hit by a stick that my mother pick up from the tree. Which scared the shit out of me.
3rd person POV.
The Leywin's father and son duo were cleaning the garden when Alice return from the market.
"I'm home, oh you finished your training it's good that you finished it early so we can prepare our food together." Said Alice while holding the ingredients she bought from the market.
"Welcome home mom." Said Arthur while running to his mother to help her.
"Welcome home honey" said Reynold.
The Leywin family were preparing for dinner at the kitchen when mail carrier come.
The man hand a mail to Reynold and left.
"Honey what's that?" Said Alice
"It's a mail from the helstea family."said Reynold's while reading the letter.
"Mom, who are they?" Arthur ask his parents not knowing who are the helstea because this is the first time he heard about them.
"Oh they are you're father's friend that he save during our adventuring days." Said Alice answering her son's question with a smile on her face "so what's the content of the letter honey?"ask Alice turning her head to her husband.
"It's from Vincent he's asking if I can be the captain of his auction guard." Said Reynold's turning his head to look at his wife and son.
"Auction house? so they are noble's."said Arthur looking at his father.
"Yes they are and they live on xyrus city" said Alice looking at Arthur with a smile.
"Xyrus city? Isn't that the city I read from books, a city that were floating in the sky?"said Arthur who have a sparkling eyes.
Arthur during his free time was reading some book about his new world, so he knew about the floating city of xyrus that was built by an ancient civilizations of mages. So he was super interested about the city.
"Yes it is. Which is Art do you want to go to Xyrus and stay there? " Ask Reynold looking at his son."I can accept this offer so you can go to Xyrus."
"Yes of course dad I want to go." Said Arthur looking at his father.
"Rey are you sure you want to accept this offer? We don't lack money or food, Arthur can visit Xyrus when he became an adventurer which I know he will become one. So you don't need to be their guard to visit Xyrus." Said Alice
"I know honey, but isn't it good to move to Xyrus Art doesn't have a friend here, and Vincent have a child so they can become friend and same time he can look around at Xyrus." Said Reynold answering his wife.
"And the twin horns are at the area for sometime we can come with them. Since they were on their way to Xyrus anyway, I just going to ask them to tag us along." Added Reynold.
Arthur leywin POV
I heard alot about twin horns from my parents. Twin horns was the team my father lead during his adventuring days.
They consist of 3 augmentors and 2 conjurers. They are a Strong individually and of course as a group.
All at the rank of AA-Rank adventurers.
"Okay it's good that they were at the area we can ask the to bring us with them." Said Alice
~~TIME SKIP~~
We're on our way to meet the twin horns and I can already see group of people waiting with 2 carriage with them.
Seeing them my father wave his hand and they respond waving their hands.
Then he hug a certain redhead then said." Thanks again for bringing us along with you"then bringing me to them "Fellas meet my son Arthur!" Said dad with his goofy smile."Come on Art introduce yourself!"
Bowing my head then introduce myself to them "Hello my name is Arthur Leywin. Thank you for coming with us to Xyrus."
"Wow such manners, you sure Rey is your dad kid?"said Adam krensh. A augmenter specialty on spear with water affinity and a light yellow core stage.
Then suddenly I was pick up by someone and was bring to her bosom. I can't breathe, is this the new way of assassination?
"He's just to precious! Be thankful you look more like your mom!"said Angela Rose, Wind conjurer at solid yellow core.
"Angela I think you're hurting him." Said a man known as Durden Walker. While saving me from Angela's assassination attempt. He is also an Earth conjurer at solid yellow core.
Then I see a black hair girl with red eyes on the corner she gave me a nod then walk away.
A woman with few word, how charming...
"Don't mind her she just need to get used to you" said by the last member while walking towards me." Nice to meet you Arthur. My name is Helen Shard." Said Helen the last member and the current leader of twin horns. And also a rare long-range augmentor specialty magic Archery with wind affinity at a light yellow core stage.
"And that girl earlier is jasmine flamesworth." Jasmine flamesworth is also an augmenter specialty on dual dagger's with wind affinity and light yellow core stage.
"Since everyone was acquainted, let's prepare to move!" Said dad with everyone nodding their heads.
~~TIME SKIP~~
A couple of days passed as we finally managed to make it to the foot of the grand mountain. Which sure lives up to it's name.
During our journey I turned 4 on the first leg of our journey on the grand mountain. I also broke to solid red stage, which shocked everyone for me already having a mana core, and already at solid red stage. I think I don't need to tell them that I'm only at solid red core because dad don't want me to purify my core.
Adam then ask me for a spar which brings to another wave of shock because I almost beating Adam. And learning I'm Quadra-elemental mage. Of course excluding my parents. Since they both know and dad was the one who always train me.
But I also learn a News that shock me.....
I'm gonna be a big brother!!!!
My parents decided to say it to me once we arrive at Xyrus but, when I found something wrong with my mother I ask her out of concern. Then to ease my worry they decided to tell me the truth which shock me and make me happy.
Helen is currently sitting on the top of the carriage I was riding in, when suddenly she shouts.
"BANDITS! PREPARE TO ENGAGE!"
At her word the whole Twin Horns prepare for a fight leaving me with my mother. I then saw what situation we were in, we're completely surrounded. From what I see there were a total of 60 bandits surrounding us.
"10 of them are mages none of them seems to be conjurers! while the rest are normal warriors!" My father's voice rang surveying the battlefield then shouted. " safe guard formation"
At my father's words the rest of the Twin Horns position theirself. It didn't take a genius to realized that this arrangement was ideal to protect valueble goods or people.
The battle last until an hour with my dad at initial silver core with fire affinity and also lightning deviant. The bandits only last of the archer's And long-range augmenter covering for them.
When the finally battle ends the Twin Horns and my dad gather. Checking if they have injury which all of them have excluding my father. Then my mother move out from the carriage to heal them. Leaving me at the carriage alone.
Then I along with the others sense a large mana fluctuation. We then saw a large water canon being cast by one of the bandits aimed towards the carriage I was in. My father Rush to the mage trying to kill the mage before it was launch. Then the bandit shouted. "DIE!!!!!!"
Launching the water canon towards me, I tried to move out of the carriage while, I saw Durden along with Angela trying to conjurer a spell attempting to block the water canon.
But all of us we're too late to avoid the disaster, the water canon already hit the carriage I was in, causing the carriage fly away. I saw Durden attempting to save me but it was too late. The impact was too strong sending the carriage away the grand mountain. I saw from the corner of my eye I saw my father killed the mage.
Then I was hit by something on my head, I don't know what it is because I lost my concious.
