It was the year 2099 A.D of the year of the dragon emperor, and today was Yuuma Shi's 13th birthday the day he was to find out what his element was and to recieve a cultivation technique, as the heir of house garmr and the former battle lords son he was already guaranteed a spot in the cultivation academy, the cultivation academy is where the promising young children of Nobel houses and prodigies went to learn the ways of cultivation in hopes of ascending and becoming an immortal.
There were elves, yokai, Djinn, Oni and many more races in this world but yokai were the main inhabitants of this world they are half spiritual entities with beastial natures and traits.
Being that he was the son of the former battlelord he had been trained in the way of the sword as well as hand to hand combat since he was young.
This day started like every other day, after jogging a lap around the estate he spent an hour training with the sword his opponent his mother!
His mother was the former head assassin Of the kingdom and also an immensely powerful jackle yokai with powers over shadows and death itself.
"SMACCKK!!!!" Was the next thing yuuma heard before the wooden practice sword his mom held went crashing into the top of his head, he had slightly misread the timing of his mother's strike when she fainted him mid swing and used her technique second acceleration.
Yuuma could hear his sisters laughter coming from the side of the room, "you know your meant to block the strike right doofus? Not catch it with your face"
Again as always Yuuma's older sister Sumi stood there with a smile on her face laughing at him she had just come back from training to have breakfast with them.
"Well it's only my first time training in second acceleration technique, I bet you missed the first time too sumi" yuuma replied trying to sooth his pride while rubbing the mark on his forehead
With a smirk sumi tossed yuuma a bottle of water "while at least i didn't catch the training sword with my face" sumi flicked her hair and headed towards the house for breakfast
Yuuma's belly grumbled at this point reminding him that it was time for breakfast, so after picking himself up off the floor he walked over to the corner and washed his face in the barrel of water before heading inside to eat breakfast with his family.
