Ace continues to practice how to absorb the red mana particles in the surrounding atmosphere into the source of energy in his body
His older brother established his core later and ascended to a Black core conjurer at the age of 14
[This world is ruled by magic .....people can exhibit magic from absorbing Mana particles ...the absorbed articles are stored in the core which refines the raw Mana particles utilizing them to produce a magical spell]
[There exist Seven cores.....the higher the core the more purified and refined the Mana becomes when absorbed by the core ]
[Black core...Tier 1-5...]
[Red core.....Tier 1-5...]
[Orange core...Tier 1-5...]
[Yellow core.... Tier 1-5...]
[Green core.....Tier 1-5...]
[White core...Tier 1-5...]
[Gold core....Tier 1-5...]
Ace was soon left behind by his elder brother who ascended and began training with the Kinights in the Kingdom
By this time Ace was a bit older and it could be seen that he has grown through some years
He is seen walking downward from a staircase....his yellow hair is packed forming a ponytail as he was about 4.10Fts tall wearing a noble garment white and red in color with a Dragons crest at the back
"As majestic as ever I hope that your ready for your training alongside your brother against me?...I mean this will be your last spare together before he goes to the Derngian institution in the imperial capital city "
"Why won't i be"he stood by the side of his elder brother Aaron staring into his blue eyes which was slightly covered by his black long curly hair
They followed their father into the mansion training ground a large filed surrounded by fpir pillars emitting mana particles of different colors into the region of the filed
"Are you to ready o get defeated by me once more"
"Not a chance father.....Ace come on we will defeat him for sure this time"
The battle began shortly after .....Ace dash's in towards his father removing his sword from the sheath ....His father easily blocks his slashes by summoning a little barrier of flame at a critical moment before the slash hit him
"Now it's my turn "....★"Fire dart"
Numerous darts of flames more than 20 in number where released towards Ace who barely manages to evade the attack
"Fire shield !"
_this spell was conjured just before one of the dart will hit Ace protecting him with a huge barrier of flames
"Ace let's try attacking again"
Aaron dispels the barrier .....he asies his staff and absorbs a huge amount of red mana particles ...in preparation for their next attack
Ace dashes in towards his father once more ....as soon as the distance between him and his father became short he threw his sword to his father
"Don't tell me you don't know what you're doing now"
Ace dashes in closing up the little distance between them...he catches one of his sword and uses the other which pierces the field as a stepping stone landing a strike at his father
"Good grief ...how am I suppose to know you're scheming just a shady idea"
"Aaron now's your chance "
....★"Heet seeker "
instantly a concentrated Brid of flame appeared at the front of Aaron who releases it towards his father
Upon impact a large bang ...BOOM...is heard and the two boys celebrated winning a duel against their father for once after so long
"Don't think that's enough to take me down "
The smiles on their faces vanished upon hearing their fathers voice ...
..... Instantly they turn around exhibiting a battle stance
....★"Blaze"
A huge hord of flame appeared and was immediately released towards the direction of the two boys who manage to evade it before contact
"Ace I don't have much Mana anymore we've got to make this last strike count.....I'll support you "
With hope from his brothers words Ace dashes out he analysis his fathers weak point but finds none but didn't stop swinging his sword at his father who blocked his attacks
....★"Incinerate checkpoint"
A large number of flickering flames appeared in the surrounding environment igniting in patterns....Ace was forced to draw back from attacking to secure his own health
"Now that you are together knocking you guys out won't be a problem".....
...."Be mesmerised by my power and crave to suppose it "
....★★"pyroclasm"
A huge wave of fire spreaded out towards all direction in the training field
Aaron was able to deflect the first wave by protecting them with a fire barrier but the second wave knocked him down
"Don't worry kids your getting there just keep training "
There father walks out of the training field....Ace is seen holding his brother unconscious body as he too was severely bitten up
.....
.....
.....
.....
"Finally you are awake "
_Ace leans in to huge his brother who returns the warm embrace
"Did we lose to father again?....that's not acceptable...Ace remember to continue training don't slack off just because I'll soon be going to the intuition in three days"
...
"By the next time I see you I want you to be strong .... don't worry I'll have also been stronger too.....we can't let father always get the best of us "
The two bothers made a promise to themselves to become strong enough to one day defeat their father and surpass themselves
The remaining three days the brothers had was spent with them having fun with one another training together and playing games
...
...
The carriage soon arrived and Aaron was already prepared to go to the
.....Derngian institution in the imperial capital city of the Derngian Empire home of talent and magic ...
"Ace remember our promise okay and keep mother safe just like she did for you when you were younger"
Aaron stares at his brother and hugs him reassuring him that he will get stronger so Ace should do the same
"Mother.....Father I'll be sure to make you proud and not tarnish the name of our Family "
He soon departs to the Institute leaving his Family behind
....
Ace didn't let this stop him and continued to train wishing to be better than both his Father and elder brother
"Ace why don't you accompany me on my usual patrol around the city"
Ace easily accepts the offer from his Father without having a second thought and soon departs with him
They enter a carriage accompanied by Lord Lugard 5 division Captain acting as their escorts known to perform their duties as gaurds dutifully
Ace soon realize that their patrol was not a basic one and maybe his father wants to put him through training
"My Lord the people of this Kingdom look up to you so much begin that you are kind and fierce when it comes to protecting them "
"Come on now you don't need to remind me about all those things Colt"
"Understood but..... why did you bring your son along?"
Ace was brought into the conversation between Lord Ligard and colt the 5th divison Captain
They arrived at a large field before the entrance of a thick forest
"Colt you have nothing to worry about he is very skilled although he hasn't awakened his core yet ...I believe the best way for him to shine is by fighting weak magic beasts like the way I groomed his elder brother "
"Colt stop with the irrational question we've already gotten here and you should know the Lord engages his children in battle to help them grow"
"Hoooo .....you're right Keshawn but we don't have clue about the Tier of this dungeon since it's a wild spawn...well I know you will survive kiddo"
Colt a man clothed in red armor having a Dragon crest at the center of the chest plate with orange designs looks at Ace and smiles....his green eyes makes eye contact with Ace as he uses his hand to brush his brown hair
"Well then I'll love to see how you hold off ACE"
