Currently what is stopping Darius from going is Jack and his mother, his mother is preparing something delicious and some snacks for him to go with it to the martial arts hall.
As Darius is happily looking outside through the window, he spot Jack.
"He is finally here, its time to go" Darius said as he run down the stairs.
He saw Jack and his father at the living room, obviously Madeline is in the kitchen. BBB
"Yay! brother Jack you are here" Darius shouted in excitement.
"Of course I am here early in the morning like I promised" Jack smiled.

"No dad, I can do it" Darius shows his determination.
"Are you ready?" Jack asked.
"I am born ready" Darius clenched his fists and show his determination.
"Food is ready" Madeline's voice is heard from the kitchen and a sweet aroma of food swept through their nose.

"Jack you can go back to the fighters academy now I will take him there myself" The black robe man said.
"Alright Master" Jack turn back and let left Darius with the dark robe man.
They kept walking in silence until Darius break the silence.
"Master Black, can I ask ask you something?" Darius hesitantly asked.
The black robe man felt surprised at this kid's naming sense.
"Already tired? Ask" He gave a short replied.
"Yes, Isn't the martial arts hall supposed to have a transportation means of carrying new disciples?" Darius asked.
"Yes and No" He Gave a short answer again.
"I don't understand what you mean" Darius scratched the back of his head.
"What I mean is, we do have transportation means And what I mean by no is that, we only use them to carry disciples only in some special cases. No food for a lazy man, and their is no fighter that is lazy, in fact this might be one of your tests" Master black said.
"Hahaha who said I am lazy? I can do this all day long" Darius suddenly increased His walking speed.
'An interesting lad, the moment I mention test he felt rejuvenated and gets motivated. He has a strong willpower and determination' Master black thought.
