"I know that look kid, your aunt had the same look when she found out about the deaths of your parents. You want revenge but that's not so easy to accomplish now." Trevor seriously says as he clenches his fists.

"If I can kill that bastard I would have done so already but the circumstances are not in our favor. He is an extremely powerful entity who received a baptism of blood directly from the Orb of Crisis." Trevor continues as he takes a glance toward Elena who obviously is as upset as Rein.

"But I still need to do it, he robbed me of what was essentially my life! Even if you have taken me in, in the end I'm still an outsider of your family. Please just help me do it, let me have my revenge." Rein plead, his expression marred by sorrow and fury.

Sigh...

"We can't deny you that Rein, it is your parents after all, your flesh and blood. I will help you have your revenge and through you we will have our revenge as well. Rest assured that I will do everything I can to make you as strong as you need to be." Trevor sighs as he promises Rein.

"Thank you, I am always endebted to you all." Rein solemnly looks on the trio.

Throughout his years staying with them they had shown him the warmth of a family, they made him a part of them but in the end they are still not really his family.

"I will tell Alesteir that you will undergo training under my tutelage and that you will enter the academy. In the academy you will meet others like you, some even more talented than me or your aunt when we were your age." Trevor tells Rein as he ruffles his hair.

"We'll start your training in the afternoon for now let's go eat our breakfast." Trevor continues as he walks into the dining room.

Rein smiles a bit but his thoughts still linger on his goal. Revenge, the death of the perpetrator.

"Trevor is it really okay to let him be? He is walking right into death!" Elena asks Trevor who is crouched down looking for something in the wall.

"You know it was only a matter of time before he finds out the truth. The Crowmore may be a fragmented family but they still put great importance on the survival of their members." Trevor starts while tapping a certain area in the wall.

After a sequence of taps a section of the wall opened up. Inside this small compartment was a box about the size of a large briefcase.

There is an insignia in its surface, the symbol is made of six feathers of pitch black color that surrounds an eye with five pupils.

"The Crowmore family would have sent a 3rd grade Vicer just to inform Rein of his heritage. But if Rein already knows of the truth then they will let their tradition to continue." Trevor finishes as he closes the wall back before turning to look at Elena.

"I know that but is he going to be alright? Walking down that path is akin to sentencing your self to a lifetime of tragedy." Elena somberly utters.

"Rein is not a kid anymore Elena, you can't shield him forever. How will he grow? Do you want to be the reason why he fails? Let him be the man he wants to be, that's the least we can do for him." Trevor questions Elena as he caresses her cheek.

"Okay, fine just don't go too hard on him it's his first day." Elena gives up, finally accepting the fact that she can't be there to protect Rein forever.

"I can't promise anything yet." Trevor smirks as he walks out of the room.

Rein is standing in the backyard where he had undergone his trial. The ground is filled with cracks and upturned dirt because of the spears attacks.

Remembering all of the things that happened ever since that night has made Rein clench his fist as he realizes that he was so close to not finding out the truth about his parents deaths.

"Rein." A voice sounds out behind him.

When Rein looked over he saw his uncle Trevor who is carrying a briefcase of sorts.

"Follow me." Trevor says as he walks past Rein.

Rein follows him with a serious look on his face.

They walked out of the fenced backyard out into the forests that surrounds the house. They keep walking in that same direction for about five minutes before Trevor suddenly stops.

Trevor raises his hand in the air, the bracelet that he always wears starts to shine of scarlet and black. Then all of a sudden a door materialize in front of him.

The door is made up of the same energy that the bracelet is emitting.

"Come in." Trevor simply says as he steps through the 'door'.

Rein unhesitatingtly follows through, his mind calm and body ready for whatever it is on the other side.

What he saw on the other side is a vast flat fields in the distance a towering mountain can be seen, it seems to have been cracked apart though with how a massive ravine is in its center.

"This is a small pocket of space that I isolated near the house. It serves as both a shelter and a training facility, I trained Ninelle and Marcus here just like how I'll train you here." Trevor explains what this place is to Rein.

Rein just nods and waits for Trevor to continue. Trevor seeing that Rein is waiting for him to start the training continued.

"This box contains the sealed powers of your parents. They said that if ever something happens we were to give this to you." Trevor says as he hands over the briefcase to Rein.

"Open it Rein." He ordered.

Rein sets the case down on the ground before opening it. Inside is two colored crystals with some sort of script covering their surface.

The first crystal has a golden color and it seems to be calling to him, the crystal somewhat looks like a horn. The other crystal seems to have a mix of platinum and raven black, its appearance is a bit unnatural it almost resembles a feather.

"I want you to absorb it Rein. The crystals won't resist you since you carry the blood of the power's origin." Trevor urges him.

Rein reaches out toward the feather-like crsytal first, its power intensifying the instant he touched it.

The crystal feather starts to shine of raven black lights. It starts to hover in front of him before it started to turn into a pitch black liquid that streamed into his head.

An overbearing aura of power surges out of Rein as the crystal starts fusing with his body. The surge subsides after just five minutes which marks the end of the fusion.

"How do you feel?" Trevor asks Rein concerned whether he is alright or not.

"I feel rejuvenated, my mind seems so clear and I feel like my mind can process things faster." Rein lists all that he could feel.

"Good, then proceed with the other crystal." Trevor calms down as he ordered Rein to fuse with the other crystal.

Rein reaches over to the horn and the same process starts like earlier but the liquid gold went into his chest rather than his head.

Another surge of power was felt inside the isolated space, once again subsiding after just five minutes.

"Just like earlier, how do you feel?" Trevor asks again.

"My body feels stronger, almost three times than earlier." Rein say with shock on his face.

"It seems your body isn't rejecting the power, that is good that will come in handy in the upcoming training. But before the physical training I have to teach you of the basics."

"A Vicer has three main categories for it's power to manifest. First is the Sigils, Sigils are like the mark of the power on a person. It looks just like a normal tattoo but once a Vicer activates it, it will bring forth the spirit formed by the Vicer's latent will. The appearance of the spirit is dependent on the Vicer so you can't really anticipate what will happen when fighting someone with a sigil.

Second is the Mask, the Masks are in a way a persona that is brought forth by the power of a Vicer's Vice. It brings out the most primal form of the Vicer's soul. When using a Mask the Vicer transforms into his Primal form, this gives him enhanced physical and mental faculties.

Lastly is the Armaments, just like last night the process of forming a link to your Armament is the most dangerous out or the three. An Armament will take a form of accessory that you can wear at all times. The passive state of an Armament provides 25% of its power when active. Armaments can take many forms like swords, spears, axes and etc."

Rein attentively listens as Trevor continues on with his explanation.

"To activate an Armament you just need to will it. You will feel a connection to the Armament in your mind if you focus." Trevor adds.

Rein closes his eyes as he focuses to feel the connection that Trevor is talking about. It did not take long before he felt it.

He urged it to activate but the armament seems to have a set of rules that he need to follow. He needs to call it by its name.

"Come forth: Spear of Lugh. "
