Chapter 7: Banished prince
Rytha tried to compose himself as he gripped his sword tighter waiting for kaguya's answer.
Kaguya was as tall as Rytha despite him being only seven years old. His body had already some level of muscle definition and was much more handsome than his older brother this was mainly because of the characteristics of those who could use soul essence. It was impossible to find a person who could use soul essence and was ugly this being said only the great clans of Haga and there sub clans could use it.
The youngest son of the Shirohaga leader kaguya looked at his brother with pity .....no it was much more twisted than that he looked at him with sorrow, the way a hunter looked at wounded prey. Finally kaguya answered.
"Unfortunately mom is in the hospital she is ... But she will be fine."
Finishing his final word kaguya's eyes suddenly had an intricate pattern of runes in them they shined bright red and fire suddenly ignited from his hands. In the next moment kaguya was behind his brothers back.
" I can't believe it! Kaguya just teleported !"
The examiner's voice echoed in the whole arena, but his announcement was a second to late kaguya punched Rytha's back and sent him flying across the arena.
Rytha was sent across the arena like a rug doll tumbling and rolling and came to a rough stop. He was unconscious.
In the stands where the clan heads were seating the wasabi clan leader gasped in shock. And looked at the other clan leaders surprisingly they were all in shock even Tensen himself failed to suppress his emotions though his face was indifferent even a mundane human could clearly see his was in shock.
The student who stood next to oshi of the mundrek clan looked at his master and said.
"His that really his brother ?"
He rephrased his question.
"What do they teach the Shirohaga children....Damn it !"
Oshi spared a glanced at his young student and continued his gaze at Rytha who was still unconscious.
"What you just witnessed was a fraction of the inert ability of the Shirohaga Clan"
Oshi added.
"Kaguya as become the first ever Shirohaga to hurnace the tenagen dormant stage at the age of seven"
Suddenly the young students face turned very pale.
"Wait teacher then you mean kaguya activated the Tenagen at a tender age"
Oshi nodded in displeasure.
"No it activated on the day he was born"
At that moment Rytha stood up desperately grasping the hilt of his sword he was strongly to stay upright and spat out a mouthful of blood, he looked at his father who was in the Audience and collapsed. The observer announced kaguya as the winner.

Rytha opened his eyes he was a bit surprised to find himself laying in a hopes bed with his mom sitting beside the bed. And his father staring at him.
Tensen tapped Luna's shoulder and said.
"I see you're awake now, that is good listen Rytha you have sustained a spinal injury that as left a permanent scar on your ability to wield a sword,As of that reason you are not fit to be a Shirohaga if you can't wield an combat Art. That said you didn't have much years to leave"
Luna turned at slightly and looked at Tensen then turned and looked at Rytha who was now sitting upright. He was motionless trying to absorb what his father had just told him, Luna grasped Rytha's hand and said.
"Rytha I love you very much my son for that reason it is best if you don't come home with us because it is very dangerous for you there"
Of course the it was dangerous there due to the dense magicles in the air there, but Rytha was already taught about despite that he wanted his parents to accept him to not leave him but not matter how much he tried not a single word escaped from his mouth. He was only shedding tears but without a single cry.
After lingering for a bit Luna and Tensen left Rytha in the hospital with no where to go and no one to turn to
*****
" The Shirohaga Clan will be too powerful if Karuga matures I will have to do something about"
The leader of the ogurachi clan and leader of the land of Haga mumbled to himself and summoned a Arch Demon that could decimate an entire country if it was left in checked.
"Go now my lovely friend and do wha
t as to be done"
