June, year 501 of the Unified Calendar.
"One year had passed since Leo was born into the Crimson family."
In the courtyard of a mansion in the outer yard of the Crimson's estate.
The building Clara and her son Leo were staying was a mansion villa, the size of a castle. The wall on the perimeter was built with one of the strongest mana ore rock on the planet, Obsidian.
"The outside was covered with a beautiful garden. Having a wide variety of colorful flowers. There were many capable servants assigned to the task of tending to the garden and keeping the surroundings of the mansion clean, and they did their work with full dedication."
"Red flags lined up from the entrance of the main gate. The Phoenix painted in the center. The Phoenix symbolize Crimson's family direct line."
The one year old Leo was seen wearing a black robe. He was standing upright on the ground. He took his first steps after which he also successfully take the second and third steps. He felled down back to the floor after trying to take the fourth step.
"It has been observed by everybody in the mansion that Leo is more intelligent than other children of his age group but Crimson family is a family that appreciated talent rather than any other qualities."
"Leo has been trying to stand up for two months and now he did it. Most importantly every time he fell he would not cry but struggle to stand up again. He has sustainable numerous injuries but surprisingly, his mother couldn't find any wound on him."
"Clara had tried to stop him numerous times but seeing his determination and absence of any injury on him despite his numerous falls, she left him on his own."
"Apart from being the third wife of the Crimson family patriarch, Clara had another identity. She was from the Alina's family, one of the three strongest family in the sanctuary."
"Alina family is a clan with two Demigods. They are a clan with attunement towards the light element."
"In addition to that, she was the second daughter of the Alina's family leader, making her of high standing although her clan wasn't as strong as the Crimson family, it was still amongst the top four most influential powers in the sanctuary."
Clara was currently not in the Crimson's estate. She went to visit her father to help her in search of an elixir that can increase Leo's affinity grade, so she left him in care of her adoptive sister and personal maid, Anise.
"Anise was a young woman of about 18 years old. She took Leo as her younger brother."
"Anise is a Light Yellow core mage. She was saved when she was about ten years old from magical beasts attack that destroyed her village by Clara who was venturing outside her family."
"It was later found out after she was brought into the Alina's family estate that she was a genius mage with a Rank 4 grade talent for the light element."
She was adopted by the Alina's family patriarch and she decided to serve Clara as her personal maid after she married into the Crimson family.
"Presently, she wasn't in the mansion, she went to restock the mansion food as she didn't trust any of the maidservants with Leo's food as they may be bribed to hurt him."
Leo stood up again, he toddled, keeping his legs wide apart and seeming to hesitate between each step, jerking from side to side as he move one foot forward, then the next without falling down again, he proceeded to continue taking the next steps and he was successful.
"Thus Leo started walking at the age of one."
In the courtyard, some maidservants were seen cleaning and chatting among themselves.
"As they saw Leo walking, they were stupefied."
"Look at the young lord, he has started walking at the age of one year, even both the first young master and second young miss only started walking at the age of one and half year."
"What a genius but it's a pity he is only born with a Rank 1 grade fire affinity, said one of the maidservants."
"No matter how fast he started walking, he is still a trash." Said another maidservant with a scornful look on her face."
"You better focus on your work, don't let the the head maid hear you badmouthing the third young master as he is still a direct descendant of the family, replied another maidservant."
The door of the mansion yard was suddenly opened.
A child of about ten years old was seen entering the courtyard with two younger boys behind him.
The three boys have the observable features of red hairs and red eyes seen in the direct descendants of the Crimson's family.
"Welcome young masters, greeted the maids while shivering in fear."
The first boy is the first son of Augustus and Leo elder brother, Noah Crimson. Noah was born with a Rank 4 grade fire affinity and he is currently a Bright Red rank mage warrior. Following Noah are his twin cousins, Peter and Paul.
Peter and Paul are the identical twin sons of Drake Crimson, the second brother of Augustus Crimson. They are the malevolent twins who made the lives of numerous Crimson family maids miserable. They both possessed Rank 3 grade fire affinity. They are both presently Light Red Core mages.
"The three of them always come to the outer yard to bully Leo ever since he clocked five months old whenever his mother and Anise aren't around."
"As Leo was struggling to continue walking, Paul went closer to him."
As he got beside he stealthily put one of his leg in front of Leo's leg and this caused Leo to trip and fall on the ground.
After some minutes, Leo struggled to stand up again and shot a fierce look at him. His body was releasing an aura that was invisible to the naked eyes. His knee was covered in bruise because of the fall.
The three boys suddenly felt a slight chills at their back couldn't find the source and thought it was their imagination.
"Look at this little bastard glaring at me?" Said Paul.
"No matter what we did to him for the past few months, he just won't cry. Does he have a problem in his prefrontal cortex?" Inquired Peter.
"Four months ago when Leo was six months old, Paul has once put a small Scorpion in his diaper. The Scorpion bit Leo but he didn't let out any cry."
"When Noah and the twins left, Leo crawled away to a safe distance where he removed and killed the Scorpion before eating it's corpse with a ferocious look on his face. If other people saw the look in Leo's yellow eyes, they won't believe he is only six months old."
"Later in the evening that day, when Clara was changing Leo's diaper, she discovered the swelling site on his body where the scorpion bit him and thought it was a normal insect bite before healing him with her light magic not knowing it is a scorpion that bit him."
Back to the present
"After Leo got back up from the fall. Peter carried him up and started using his aura at Mid Red Core to beat Leo at is button. He was expecting Leo to cry but Leo was just looking at his face expressionesly."
"What a stubborn bastard." Exclaimed Peter while raising Leo up above his head.
Suddenly, water started dripping on Peter's face.
"When did it started raining?" he asked.
"It was Leo relieving himself on his face while laughing."
"When the maids saw this, they quickly turn their heads to avoid laughing out and avoid punishment, except for one of the maids that failed to hold in her laughter."
"Seeing this, Peter attacked the maid ferociously with one of the signatory fire spells of the Crimson family."
"Fire burst!"
His right arm released a stream of fire that shot towards the maid.
The maid was a mortal without any mana core. As the attack reached her, she let out a scream until she was burnt alive into charred corpse.
"Seeing this, the three maids quickly move to pack away her remains to bury her while the others continued with their work as if nothing happened."
"Do not inform anybody what happened here today." Commanded Noah.
"Yes young master."
Peter wanted to attack Leo too but was stopped by his brother, Paul.
"Stop it!" said Paul while holding Peter's hand.
We will be in trouble If we were caught attacking him.
Peter shot a fierce look at Leo before suddenly dropping him on the ground.
"Let's go, said Noah as he started moving out of the courtyard."
Both Peter and Paul shoot one last glance at Leo before following behind Noah.
See you tomorrow little brother, said Noah before finally existing the courtyard.
As they move out of the courtyard, Leo tried to get up but was unable to due to the fractured bones of his kneel sticking out of his skin.
"The maids weren't aware of his wound as they were too scared to go near him as they regarded him as a symbol of bad luck to them."
Surprisingly, one hour later, all signs of bone fracture and wounds disappeared completely from Leo's body.
If any knowledgeable person saw this, they won't believe that Leo is only born with a Rank 1 grade talent, even his mother was not aware of his fast healing factor as it has been confirmed with the clans mana affinity measuring orb that Leo only has a red grade talent without any special physique.
One hour later, Anise was found entering the yard with two groceries bags in her hands.
Welcome back head maid, greeted the maids in the yard.
Anise nodded her head in response while solely focusing her attention on Leo.
"Young master, I am back."
"As Leo heard her voice, he tried to walk towards her but he fell down once again."
Seeing this, Anise was very happy. She ran towards him and carried him in her arms while moving towards inside of the mansion.
