Chereads / Strange Worlds / Chapter 3 - Three Years

Chapter 3 - Three Years

After a long time crying, Aya finally calmed down.

To be exact, she fell asleep and when she woke up, she was naturally calm. 

There was no point in crying.

She would only feel tired and waste her time… even if there was nothing else that she could do but to think about her future plan. 

As for training?

Unless Aya wanted to die because of energy combustion, she should not start her training until she was three years old. 

Yeah, that was definitely going to take some time. 

Thankfully, with her sleeping most of the days, it would end soon.

But still…

What a shame it is for an adult to wet her bed, aghhh!

Well, Aya could only reassure herself that no one saw that. In everyone's eyes, she was nothing more than a baby anyway.

Even if she wet her bed, they would not think too much.

That's it!

Putting away those random unnecessary thoughts, Aya was thinking about the development of history and then she found…

There were not many details about what happened during this period of time aside from the war that was raging outside. The head of the White Family and the Head of the Black Family led their families to the frontline and fought together despite the two of them having a really bad relationship. 

It was not like the two family's head were having a bad relationship.

It was their family's history speaking. 

And the conflict could be traced back to more than 100 years ago…

Aya sighed and knew that this conflict had lasted for a long time and was impossible to be erased overnight. Besides, it was more important for her to think about other thing.

Oh right.

The White Family's ability.

Aya's eyes shone when she thought about this.

Some families have a special type of magic that is bound by their blood. In other words, only their descendants could possibly use it but even then, not all of their descendants would realize this magic when they grew up. Because they needed to 'awaken' that magic from within them. 

The four magic families who ruled this city all have inheritance magic.

Of course, all of them were different.

Taking the blood of their people to other mages to use this magic was also impossible. At least, the current technology in this current era didn't allow them to do that.

Anyway, White Family's special magic was called crystal magic.

There were many types of magic but the most common was naturally the normal elemental magic. It could be used by the magic warriors or even those mages. The so called mages are the people who didn't learn physical skills for various reasons. 

Some of them were limited by their physique, some others were because of their special inheritance magic, some others are simply lazy.

Aya naturally knew the importance of having good physique.

She would not neglect it.

But that was for later.

A newborn baby couldn't practice. 

There were two types of crystal magic within the White Family. The first one was the type of magic that formed a special substance called crystal, used just like any other elemental attacks. The second one was to fuse the crystal with certain parts of the body to manifest special abilities. The most common ones were the eyes and the limbs. 

Crystal eyes could see far away, crossing the physical limitation and also to see the tiniest details of their surroundings. It was known as the best magic to scout. Moreover, it required very little mana to maintain.

However, the process of fusing their awakened magic to the eyes had to be done under 12 years old and how high their ability would depend on how much mana and how much they had awakened their ability. It was hard to grasp and many of the members of the White Family could only see through within 100 meters or even less. 

As for fusing with the limbs, it was naturally to make part of their body into crystal, which was known as extraordinarily hard and sharp at the same time. 

The specific attribute would depend on the magic warrior themselves but most of them would have very strong defense and attack. 

With the combination of two different types of magic fusion plus the people who gave up fusing because their abilities were not too great and became ordinary elemental mage, the White Family had great dominance over the years. 

But as more and more conflicts appeared, it was impossible for them to stand alone and face everyone.

Thus, they jointly created this Wansu City.

Well, Aya was indeed from the White Family many decades or centuries later, but she was nothing more than a very small branch family members. If not because of her talent that attracted the attention of the main family, she would have never become strong. 

'Now that I'm the daughter of the Patriarch… wouldn't it mean my bloodline is better?' Aya thought about it for a moment.

Her talent shouldn't be bad.

And with the training that was formulated many centuries later… Aya was sure that she would be able to become strong. What she needs the most now is time.

And also a body that was suitable to practice. 

Aya looked at her small hand resentfully. If she was already three years old, she would definitely start the training without hesitation. 

Forget it.

She would simply sort out the information that she has and also made her plan for when she awakened her inheritance magic. If she couldn't awaken?

Then she would stimulate it through the methods taught by the family many years to come.

Besides, she has other uses of her inheritance magic. 

One that was different from others.

It was a technique she developed in order to catch up to the geniuses. Now that she was here and had greater advantage, this technique should be able to be put on better use.

Three years passed by in a flash.

Aya spent her time practicing to walk after she was a few months old and after that, she started reading various information. She had to know more about this era since her knowledge was basically all from the far future.

Moreover, she needed to know the history of the current time. 

As for her father and the war?

Ah, she had no time to care about those. 

Anyway, she knew the result of this war would be Wansu City's victory and even her father returned a few months before her third birthday. At this moment, her younger brother was already in her mother's stomach and would be born soon.

The other family heads have also returned and are no longer staying on the frontline.

The situation of the war is clear and Wansu City held the advantage. All that was left was the negotiation for the distribution of the resource for the victor and also the mine that was being coveted by the City's Head.

The other family's heads had returned and busy making the next generation…

It was precisely this generation that has many second generation's children born. But they were also the most talented ones in the past few decades. Unfortunately, her brother was not included among them because he was born a year earlier.

And he also didn't become the family's head in the future. 

Though, Aya didn't know the reason. 

Aside from that, when Aya turned 3 years old, her father started to arrange for her training. It was mainly the physical training, though.
