Most children avoided him when he walked the streets while most clansmen simply scowled and told him to go back home.
Rytha spent his days in the walls of the clan's palace, after careful consideration the clan headed Tensen Shirohaga decided to let Rytha take up the sword but he would be trained by a mundane swordsman. This excited Rytha to learn that he was not the only talentless human.
Sitting on the steps leading to the courtyard Rytha watched his brother kaguya in an intense battle with one of the Clan's warriors , due to kaguya's inherent abilities he easily grasped the techniques he was taught and could efficiently use magic. Kaguya was also the youngest member of the bloodline to activate the tenagen at the age of four.
Because of kaguya's properly functioning soul core his height was that of his older brother Rytha despite being five years of age and could reason like a veteran warrior.
'How is he so fast..... I hope I could be that fast'
As if hearing Rytha's thoughts a deep voice spoke behind him.
"Kaguya! You are only sparring allow your trainer to match your movements".
Rytha tensed and turned to look at the man behind him. It was a tall muscular man with a short behind and a friendly face, he wore a purple and black tunic with the clan's crest on it. The tall man was Tensen Shirohaga the clan head.
Kaguya frowned and stood silent he looked at the trainer who was also standing still and now sweating heavily.
"Ohh dad, how can a trainer match a students movements isn't it the other way around?"
Shocked by kaguya's words the trainer scratched his head and spoke in a sincere tone.
"That's is true, you are just to incredible young head. All the five year olds of our clan are learning how to chanel their soul essence while absorbing magicles from the air yet you mastered it in one day."
Tensen shrugged and gave a dark look to the trainer, he gestured for them to continue sparring, his attention then fixed on Rytha who had a gloomy face Tensen remembered the conversation he had with his wife.
"Rytha is watching kaguya again...."
Staring from the window Luna had a concerned face while looking at her sons. Tensen continued seeping his coffee and answered her.
" He is curious, if only he knew his days where numbered "
"But then what Tensen? Do think he was suddenly smile about that fact, oh maybe you think he would commit suicide for crying out loud he is our son the first born son of the Shirohaga head he needs love from you too."
"Luna.....it's just that what if tomorrow might be his last day.....you know how dense the magicles on this part of the continent are, him being only seven even makes it worse."
Both of them remained silent for a long time, the tension in the room was almost chaotic when Tensen finally sighed.
"Luna what if we take Rytha to a swordmaster"
Luna's face glowed she suddenly faced Tensen for the first time during their conversation and stared at him with a delightful smile her beauty was unparalleled this made Tensen blush he took a quick seep of his coffee and continued.
" But! It will have to be a mundane swordsmaster and he will have to attend the monastery of swords... mainly because the number of mundane humans there is much larger and there are less magicles in the air there".
****
Remembering that conversation Tensen fixed his eyes on Rytha who was sitting on one of the steps leading to the courtyard.
" Rytha your teacher as arrived let's go meet him"
Rytha's face flashed with excitement and looked at his brother.
"Kaguya! Now I will soon get to spar with you just you wait".
Rytha's words startled everyone who heard his statement at that moment. Hearing those words Kaguya gave him a big smile.
"I look forward to it brother Rytha".
