Kim Yong is training for 5 days alone along with the tasks the lightning emperor gave him.
"Haaahaa another round around the Nexus island"
Kim Yong must daily run before school starts 30 rounds around the Nexus island.
The lightning emperor gave him this task along with weights that are each 300 kg heavy.
"Frick if he wants to kill me then he should tell me that"
Kim Yong barks out as he is seeing the Astral queen walking towards him with Ben that she carries like a bag.
She smiles at me with her dazzling eyes as her iris of her eyes are blue, yellow and red.
"You are the child who beat my child here in a fair one vs one fight right?"
Something is saying Kim Yong that he should answer truthfully and not lie to her... but he did it anyways.
"I did beat him but it was a close fight that I almost lost"
She is frowning as a vein is emerging on her face where multiple lights flow through it.
A fist is flying towards Kim Yong that he can block by crossing hie arm infront his face... but it didn't matter as her fist is phasing through his crossed arms.
^BAM^
Kim Yong got pushed back but didn't got his nose or skull broken by her punch.
"Oh no wonder you are called Fake dragon"
The Astral queen is smiling as she looks at Kim Yongs face covered with black scales.
The Astral queen knows the scent of a dragon and doesn't smell it of him not even a bit even now.
Kim Yong his muscles are screaming right now as he had finished his tasks before meeting the Astral queen.
The Astral Queen on the other hand wants to know more about Kim Yongs abillities as he seems stronger than her son by a huge margin
Which is unexpected for her because she thought the distance between them in terms of strength wouldn't be that huge.
'My son really fights a bigger monster than himself who can easily beat two of him.'
The Astral queen is surprised how fast that child reacted to her punch but doesn't mind him anymore.
She is enjoying the breeze of air in the park while watching absentmindedly down at the city below Nexus.
Which has the old building style of the German people that the Astral queen hates because one of her Foster children was killed by one German girl of the City below.
"Kim Yong why do you strive so much to become stronger?"
Kim Yong wanted to walk past her as he needs heavier weights from tomorrow on to complete the lightning emperors tasks
However before he entirely walked past her, she asked that question, catching him entirely off guard.
Kim Yong stares in the direction of where the training room of the lightning emperor with a determined expression before he opens his mouth.
"I want to beat someone who is said to be not beatable as well as want to kill gods.
In other words I want to be able to kill everyone to protect my friends and myself."
Kim Yongs answer surprised the Astral Queen as her eyes are showing her that he told the truth
'That child is more like an adult than a child like the Drake.
I hope these two don't fight as they both can't use the protection domain.'
"Kim Yong go back to the lightning emperor.
He brought a friend who has supreme control over the air affinity and told him to fight you."
Kim Yong has a frown on his face as he is now running back.
Ben listen to the entire conversation and is finding it interesting how Kim Yong thinks about them.
"So son, I hope you don't think Kim Yong didn't saw through your acting"
Bens eyes flung wide open as he is looking at his mother... who is SMILING?!
In Bens life he never saw his mother smile so natural and happy that it froze him on his place.
"You have good friends who are willing to protect you and not want to be protected by you.
You have much more luck than I had... especially since you are not the strongest."
Ben feels the regret and sorrow from what she said.
This was a new side on his mother Ben never saw his entire life but he is happy to see her smile like that.
As they are in the next moment back in the training room of Bens apartment.
"Enough about being sentimental.
Let's train a bit more since you recovered a loy of energy"
'I can with a lot of struggle barely walk!'
Ben is getting beaten up for 5 days straight as she too requested for him to be absent of school for a week... And today won't be any different.
She doesn't gives him any tips, only books who are harder to understand than other texts in elven language or dragon language.
Ben does learn a lot from these beatings only but different from Kim Yong who exactly knows what he does wrong and can test all kinds of things to make it right and more efficient...
He does that all instinctively and has problems learning something new plus is he scared of new things.
'I can't stay like that!'
Another round of beating the living shit out of Ben begins for the Astral Queen
Who is proud to have such an hardworking son.
"Liam to control your demonic energy more than just at this level, you need to start to don't fear your own strength."
Muzio is sighing while saying that to Liam Sataroth who was the one asking him two days ago to teach him.
Liam couldn't care less about his reputation or dignity as he even asked Ruria to teach him.
Liam Sataroth or the original second soul formed by the original Liam as an vessel for the seed of sins named Beeltrazub wants to live a good life with a wife and children.
His suffering as the seed were painful nonetheless this training is even more painful as well as even more harder than as a seed.
"Haaa Aight"
He stood up and attacked for ten minutes after crashing back down on the hard white floor.
"You got better Liam but that level is far from enough to keep up with them."
Muzio stated the harsh truth as they started by two minutes of fighting with demonic energy only two days ago
Are they now by ten minutes which is an immense improvement but for Muzio who knows his goal is it not worth mentioning.
"Master, are you sure she accepted me that day?"
Liam is asking but didn't understand why he asked that as he already knew the truth.
Muzio doesn't look surprised by him asking that question but is rather surprised by him fidgeting with his finger because he is nervous.
Muzio is questioning why he even accepted Liam for how much fear he shows talking to Ruria or even mainly looking at her for a second.
It doesn't make sense to Muzio however he knows that Ruria is the perfect teacher for his beast power.
"Of course did she accept you since you aren't even the original Liam"
Muzio said while sighing to him as he stood up and started heading to the private training room next door.
Liam Sataroth is standing infront an white door as the hologram is showing him that the room is currently occupied.
^click^
"Come in and don't stay infront the door like a statue"
Diana is opening the door while completely drenched in sweat as Liam is happy that she wears black clothes.
"Don't worry Liam, I know how to hide my body so that no one sees them, so please stop checking my body if you can see anything."
Like Liam is an open book, she read him perfectly of what he was looking for.
"Liam don't you love someone from Kim Yongs group?"
Liam got red like a tomato as he is entering the room with a quick pace.
The training room is filled with holes all around the walls as Ruria in her little girl form condensed Gainar on her hand to a ball of electricity
^Swoosh^
The ball is hitting the wall at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
"The power is sufficient but it needs to be faster and must have more density"
Ruria is mumbling that while watching their two disciples slowly aproaching her amazed that Gainar has such capabilities.
'They are a bit to young to learn such a technique but I can teach them both their species affinity control'
Ruria her purple eyes got a white point in her vertical pupils that sees through her both disciples species or also said to it their race.
"You two will learn the skills and abilities of your species respectively.
And then we will enter the manipulation of Gainar but that stage will we only reach after the tournament"
Both her disciples nod but after 15 minutes of fighting you realise that Liam gets heavy punches and faster attacks than Diana
who also gets pointers on how to do things better.
And Liam?
He needs to learn all that on his own or need to listen to Diana's advises she gets so that he learns too.
1 week later are the two weeks of training over and the test is starting.
The Monster slaughtering test.
