'' good to see you three again, my name is luna de mistia i am the elder princess of mistia kingdom, pleasure to meet you.

''i am roza de mistia, i am the only prince of mistia, nice to meet you, by the way your name? "The prince asked pointing as Rein.

''?...Rein, its Rein.

It was the kings order to take Rein which made roza also interested at rein, at first glance he already know Reins innocent behavior which made roza felt relief.

''mm, right rein my father wanted to talk to you.

''his majesty?

''yes, so you three will get separated for a while, now lets go Rein.

''uh, yes...

Roza took rein first, leaving others behind, Luna decided to talk.

''mmm, now roza task is done... shall we go?

the princess was emitting a Gorgeous presence with her shining purple hair and beautiful dress that made claude and Gen stunned, however Gen does not know how to socialize with pretty woman henceforth claude did the talking 

''we are pleasured to accompany you, princess luna.

''good, i can see that your a spiritual arts user claude, however it looks like you cant quite see and control it.

claude felt a spark of interest for knowledge, as his expression tells he wanted more of this topic, 

''if you forgive my rudeness, will you tell me about it, princess?

''well, of course, however lets play a game, are you up to it?

claude felt temptation for knowledge however his wary-ness and curiosity of the princess aim remained strong.

''what kind of game exactly, and may i know the penalty if i lose?

''its a game of wits, we will play a debate, if you win, i will teach you and if i lose, you be my servant.

claude suddenly felt full of confidence, as a top schooler and an achiever he always participated any debate and wins all of them therefore he is very confident.

''princes luna, i will accept the challenge!

''then first lets move somewhere shall we.

the princess took claude to another room leaving Gen alone, therefore gen thought he will make a stroll at the palace for the mean time out of boredom, on the other side Rein arrived with the prince to the king's training room.

''where here, my father is waiting to you.

''uh, yes!

they opened the door and saw the room with five of elite knights sparring with the king, the whole atmosphere of the room was very intense with the sound of clashing sword and intense battle.

''ohh, you arrived!

''yes father, as you requested i brought Rein with me.

''good.

the battle ended with the face of exhausted elite knights while the king only is sweaty.

''now, Rein, will you try to have a battle against my son?

A sudden request of a battle of the king's son made Rein surprised as he is about to fight a prince.

''ehh? you mean prince roza?

''yes who else, now will you start your ones.

''yes father, sir Rein lets have a good fight!

both of them leads to the hard ground stone ring, with the condition who ever gives up loses and who cannot stand anymore loses.

''both of you, are you ready!?

''yes!

at the moment the battle starts, the prince was already in front of Rein with his sword that was about to slash from above. rein reacted a little late.

with his cleaver sword he took from his dimensional pocket skill he was able to blocked the sword of the prince and felt the strength of the prince.

''...*he's fast and strong and has more experience "Rein thought while feeling the hurdle.

the prince backed off as he fused his mana affinity to his sword, the sword was enveloped with fire, and casted his magic ''create stone golem'' that is harder, stronger and larger than regular humans

''...*rein, he's kinda strong, he blocked the mistia sword technique, however will he survive this "prince thought knowing that Rein will not go down with this attacks.

the prince rushed through rein with his next attack from the left side of the opponent, Rein blocked the attack on his right however he cannot block the upcoming attack from the golem therefore he tried to back off however the prince would not leave him occupying his sword by his sword, in seconds the golem attack have arrived at Rein, 

''...*what will i do, if this keeps on i will lose,....better try this than nothing

Rein focused his energy to his right arm and fist hoping something might happen.

•Life arts skill ''forced fist Unlocked( force fist, gather the energy in your arm and fight to create a strong punches )

rein's right fist was covered with his bluish energy therefore he left the sword with his left hand alone to block roza and use his right fist to stop the golems attack, 

the golem punches are headed to rein as rein also counter attacked the golem with his fist, their punches clashed creating an impact then golems fist got cracked and destroyed, however rein fist got numb and a little paralyzed for the first time of use.

the prince backed off making a shocked impression, as the thought came to his mind that what rein used was not Magic nor Spirit but a power from fairytales, at the same time the king began to smile.

''i will get serious, prepare yourself Rein!

Roza casted his magic ''root bind'' which the root was created with his magical energy and casted ''lightning bolt'' 

the roots bind Rein which made him unable to move and faced the lightning attack head on, therefore Rein took the electrical damage while the prince casted his next attack.

''complex magic lava cannon plus catapult magic''

the catapult attack got covered with lava which made it turn into a meteor like attack heading to Rein, therefore rein made his last attack by using force blast,

the meteor attack and force attack colluded and exploded with a huge impact henceforth the king himself stopped the fight.

''alright kids that is enough!,

for a few moments Rein wakes up seeing the prince and king taking care of him.

''ouch ouch...,my body is numb...

''ohh, your awake! "Said king Norza.

''well, that's because to took my attack. "Said Prince Roza.

''your majesty may i know what's the fight is all about?

Rein asked out of curiosity he also got reminded of how little he can do in a fight and how weak he is right now.

''it because of your power.

''my power, what of it?

''you do not use magic nor spirits but another energy which is recorded from history.

''yes my father is right, i only know about it because to its records of myth and legends but it is really is similar to the description.

Rein is shocked at what he heard as he was using some power that will catch the attention of the world.

''we don't mean any harm, Rein we just wanted some of your knowledge.

''does anybody was able to use it?

''no for a century, however after seeing it, it might existed to other continents or around the world or being keep hidden to the world or it might actually became a legend its now a secret that we do not know

after listening rein asked to the king 

''what would you do with this power? your majesty

and so the king answered with a straight face and a serious tone.

''i will build the most peaceful country with my power.

Rein was just an innocent kid therefore he agreed to tell them his information about life force arts

''the life force arts is an specialty that uses one's life energy 

''specialty? and the first place how are you able to use it? "The prince asked hungry for information.

Rein was not careful enough to hide some things which made the king inquisitive on Rein, therefore rein thought that he might just say the whole story or keep hiding it, however Rein thought about saying this to the king to earn help for their mission
