It is very early. The sun is not yet seen on the east horizon. Adrian woke up early because he had little time if he deduct the time he had to spend with his family brfore he went to the academy. Having 'Analyse' lots of people, he realise relaxing is not an option. He had to give it his all in this new live.
[Mana detection detect familiar mana signature in the near vicinity. Show in map.]
"I did not invite anyone here. Should you not be resting right now Ralph?" Adrian picked up his location in the map.
"Oh? Young master can detect me. Don't worry young master. I'm just here to watch over you. You can train as much as you want until lady Marylyn woke up." Ralph knew Adrian's intentions.
"It is impossible for someone who can who just awaken mana yesterday to detect me. He sure had come too far at such a young age. I'm happy to serve the Cross family seeing 2 heirs doing their best." Ralph amaze at the height of Adrian's potential while remembering the past.
"Okay. Just stay there, let me warm up first I have some questions later." Adrian said his piece then he does physical training.
2 hours past. The sun can already can be seen a little bit but the light shone bright.
"Okay… hah hah. Now for the… hah hah… question. Show me your spirit weapon… hah hah." Adrian asked the amazed Ralph after seeing Adrian panting from physical training.
"Aah… Yes. Equipped." Ralph snap out of his daze and summon his spirit weapon.
It is a broadsword about 90cm long. The blade is shining white, and the hilt is gold.
"My spirit weapon symbolizes 'devotion'. Your father had an even more beautiful sword. He is sword is half silver half gold. It symbolizes his 'past and present'. You see young master, a spirit weapon symbolizes oneself. If you want to manifest a spirit weapon you need more experience in life first. No need to rush. Many youths manifest at the age of 15. The age of their adulthood." Ralph explains to Adrian who is busy chatting with Aria.
"Aria, adjust the manifestation of Armoury of Legends. Selection of weapons will be by thought. Manifestation will trigger on 'Equipped' command." Adrian speaks to Aria in thought.
[Responding. Command prompt received.]
Suddenly, Adrian reached out his hand. Ralph puzzled, thinking Adrian want to hold his sprit weapon, but handing spirit weapon to others is useless and made it disappear itself. Some people say it's a taboo because giving someone else their 'desire' is against the God's teachings.
[Selected: Durandal]
"Equipped."
In Adrian's hand, light begin to shone and took shape of a sword. Durandal, sword of the legendary paladin Roland, is now in his hands. It has a shiny silver blade about 1 meter long that one can see their own reflection clearly, shiny gold guard embedded with red cross gem at the canter and black hilt with gold pommel.
Ralph is so shocked that he fell on his butt knowing no one had ever manifest their spirit weapon a day after their mana awakening. Such a historic feat and he is the first to see it.
The whole process of manifestation didn't even take 1 minute. Ralph gets back up hurriedly. It is unsightly to be on the ground just because one is shocked. Adrian tries a few swings while Ralph is inspecting Adrian's spirit weapon.
When one manifest a spirit weapon it gives some clues on one's personality. Adrian's spirit weapon looks like a normal sword but when Ralph inspect it carefully, his body begin to shake, sweats begin to pour down through the pores of his skin and the fear of being cut begin to manifest in his mind.
"Ralph? Are you okay?" Adrian suddenly asked him.
"Huh? What happen? Oh I'm… I'm okay. I remember I had some cleaning to do. I will excuse myself." Ralph disappeared quickly.
"Oh well it doesn't matter. I have to quickly finish training." Adrian don't mind it and starts weapon training.
Another two hours passed, Adrian just manage to do sword, spear and hand to hand combat practice only. The manuals he bought in the capital, spear technique from the east continent, Emerald Dragons Rising and the primordial hand to hand to hand combat technique, Fist of Adam, both had their own profoundness.
It had been 5 years he had been practicing it, he still did not understand it. Suddenly, an idea popped in his head.
"Aria, can 'Deconstruction' and 'Construction' be use on the instruction manual?" Adrian had the idea.
[Responding. Yes, Master can. 'Deconstruction' and 'Construction' only prohibited actions that broke the laws of the world's creation. Example, creation of a being that is outside the creation of the Gods.]
"After I deconstruct the manual, can I input the moves in the 'Battle simulation' and make it as an instruction dummy?" Adrian thinking of the possibility.
[Responding. It is possible as it supposed to be used.]
"Ops… It's not that I fully understand the new features. It is now different between had mana and no mana. Please keep guiding me, Aria." Adrian spoke while shrugging his shoulders.
[Responding. Please ask ARIA if any information Master needs.]
Adrian nodded and cleans up the training ground. The sun is already up, the smell of breakfast fills the hallways. Adrian went back to his room and takes a bath before Marylyn come knocking on his door.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Big brother! Wake up. Breakfast is ready. Let's eat. There is lots of food." Marylyn routinely waking up his loving brother while carrying her doll that Adrian made.
"I'm coming Mary, wait a second." Adrian is just about to wear his clothes when he hears his sister alerting him at the door.
A minute later, the door opens…
"Let's go eat." Adrian lifted up Marylyn and carry her to the dining table.
"Good morning, mom, dad, Ralph and maids" Adrian greets everyone while placing Marylyn to her seat and took a seat himself.
"Good morning son/ young master." Everyone replied back while Malcom, Amanda and Ralph stares at Adrian.
Adrian ignores their stares and keep enjoying breakfast. He then turns to Marylyn.
"Mary after this how about we study first then we can go to play." Adrian uses that excuse to use 'Hyper memory' to memorise as many spells as possible and store it in his 'Mind Palace'. Later he can 'Deconstruct' and 'Construct' his own unique spells.
"Okay. Mary will study first. Big brother always says 'hardship first then get reward'." Marylyn obediently agrees.
"That is my nice and cute little sister." Adrian pats Marylyn's head and she enjoys it.
After they all finish their meal, Malcom asked a maid to bring Marylyn to the library first with a little resistance but Adrian assured her he will come later. So that is left in the dining room is only 4 people.
"Equipped." Malcom and Amanda said simultaneously
Malcom's spirit weapon is as Ralph stated. Amanda's spirit weapon is a staff, it looks like it is made out of ice all of the rod is white while there is a blue diamond floating on the rod but still follows the rod in place.
"Son, show us yours please." Malcom wants to see his son' spirit weapon.
[Selected: Durandal]
"Equipped"
"This is my spirit weapon." Adrian calls Durandal
His parents were shocked seeing the sword. They were curious what is Adrian 'desire' that drove him to manifest an early spirit weapon.
"What is your 'desire' when you manifest it?" Malcom asked and Amanda nodded curiously.
Adrian pause a little bit then he answer,
"I want to become Invincible."
