Chapter 2 - Loser

Ishan and Alicia have arrived at home.

(Alicia)

"We are back."

A young boy greeted them.

"Welcome home."

(Ishan)

*Sigh*

(The Boy)

"How is your day going?"

(Ishan)

"There is no change, and everything is as usual like today, Arthur."

-Arthur could only give a bitter smile-

Arthur is a boy with long black hair that is tied back. He is Alicia's identical twin with a good-looking face and has neat appearance. No wonder he's the craze of the girls out there. However...

(Alicia sniffing)

"What is this musty smell in my nose? Smells like a dead rat in here"

(Arthur smile)

"ehehe"

(Alicia)

"Seriously, you don't shower yet."

His slacker attitude is capable of defeating all of the residents of this house.Arthur is a skilled swordsman. Despite the fact that their fighting styles are different, his strength is equal to William's.

(Ishan)

*sigh*

"I will take a bath first."

(Alicia dan Arthur)

"Alright"

Alicia continued to chastise Arthur for his refusal to bath.

(Arthur)

"Ishan, Help me!!!!!".

He reaches out his hand begging for a help. When Ishan wanted to help Arthur, Alicia turned to Ishan with fiery eyes

(Alicia)

"Don't you dare interfere and go take a bath"

(Ishan)

"...okay. Not my business"

(Arthur)

"Traitor!!!"

...

-In the bath tub-

I dipped into the bathtub.It was a little warm in there. I cleaned up the remaining mud on my body. I leaned into the bathtub after I finished. I recalled my fight with William.To be honest, he is extremely fast and powerful. Furthermore, he has more fighting experience than I do. I was also stupid enough to fall for his bait.

(Ishan recalled William said)

"Hahaha. Weak and without mana can become a Knight King.Don't make me laugh with your delusional fantasies."

Reality,His words are accurate.Mana is present to all around us.The power to control is genetic.Roughly 1 in 1,000000 children don't possess it. Anyway mana can be used in various ways.Most of two common method are augeo and magicae.

Augeo enhance their bodies with mana allowing them to possess incrible strength,defense,speed and agility.However,their biggest weakness in their limited range.

Magicae emit mana to the outside surrounding allowing them to mixed their surrounding to their will.But they must supplement their own mana with mana from the outside surrounding to form a spell.Also some of they are a rare type of mage able to cast unique restorative mana.However, extreme use of mana can result in is mana deficiency and fatal death.

According to alicia's research,a knight and mage first awakening happen between early adolescence to late teenage years.To form a mana center,children were taught to meditate and sense the fragement of mana scattered inside their bodies and gather the into single place.

(Ishan meditate)

I wonder.I discovered a fragment of mana. It was shaped like a huge colourless ball, but it was surrounded by a black chain. it picked my curiousity wondering who make it chained like that? my hand tried to reach the huge ball. and as my hand near to it.

(soothing voice suddenly heard)

"that's enough for now"

(Ishan)

"Huuuuuuuh?!"

(Ishan awakes from his meditate)

(knock)

(knock)

(knock)

(Alicia)

"You stupid head, how long are you going to be in there? Hurry up. My hair smells like shit right now"

(Ishan)

"Wait, I'll be done soon"

After finishing, he immediately dried himself and opened the door. He saw the figure of a sad looking boy with messy state who is walking towards his room.

"Poor guy"
