Knight Training 2
1,5 years later
These last 1,5 years were very good for me. Not only did I draw in aura in my body, which makes me level 1, I was even able to become a level 2.
This makes me an iron knight. Level 1 is a bronze knight.
You can level up by first filling you body to the very brink full of aura, and then condense it till it reaches a different level of purity.
I also got to know a lot more in general over this world but I won't bore you with everything. But what I do find interesting is that 1,5 years for level 2 is something only geniuses can do. Little flex.
I have also started learning swordsmanship and footwork but only on a small scale because its dangerous doing too intense exercise with a young body.
My relationship with my parents has also been good and although they still don't have the position of parents in my heart they do have very high position in my heart.
If there is one thing I don't like about my 2 years its my relationship with Emma. In one way or another we have become friends.
And although I don't like that what I don't like even more is that people regard me as her younger brother. That is exactly how Nico got treated in the novel.
So now I have a time bomb on me which I need to get off in 4 years, which is the time when we will go to the Royal Academia of Learning.
So overall these 1,5 years have been good with its flaws.
3,5 years later.
These 3,5 years were about the same as my previous 1,5 years.
I learned knew stuff, I leveled up to become a gold knight.
And my relationship with Emma just became better.
But I wanted to focus on this moment because of something else. It has to do with were I am traveling.
Right now I am traveling to another city in the countdome of Wolfram for some sight seeing as a vacation.
Nope, that's just my excuse, my real reason for going is because there is a Miracle stone, which is a stone full of M energy which you can adsorb. Although it isn't super rare it is rare and precious.
In the novel it was something which one of the ML's got in his younger years.
The ML who got it was called Lex Wolfram, now called Lena, is the third child of count Wolfram. His family found it after someone reported there being high M energy in a forest.
She got it gifted to her because of her high talent and also because it was just confirmed he got accepted as the disciple of the tower master meaning he has a chance of becoming the tower master.
"Young master, we have arrived". Said one of the guards who came with me to protect me which isn't really needed because we are the same level but I am still only 11.
I put my head out of the window which allowed me to see a beautiful city, the city of Caroban.
We entered the city were we rented some rooms in an inn. I slept the night, It was already dark and I am not some kind of chad who wants to go in a forest while dark.
After waking up I want to have breakfast. There I head a discussion with the leader of my guard group.
"After eating I will go sight seeing the city alone". I said to the leader called Michal.
"Young master, you know we can't leave you alone". He said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I know its your job but just relax. I can protect yourself". And like that my breakfast went on with me trying to convince them and they not accepting till in the end they finally gave up.
So I departed to the forest which was close to the city. And with my gold rank my body is already much stronger than an average female in this world. And even that doesn't truly show my strength.
With my full speed it didn't take long before I arrived at the forest. For here on I need to trust me sense of M energy.
I stopped ant closed my eyes trying to find a the place were M energy becomes higher. And after switching places and sensing I found finally a place were there is high M energy so I followed the trail.
And when the Miracle stone was in my sight I saw a flying girl also going for the stone so I sped up. She also saw me so she also sped up so we began a race to the stone.
"MINE" "MINE". We both screamed while touching with our hand the stone. But we didn't think about the fact we came from opposite side making our bump our heads.
"UOOW". She screamed in pain while for my strong body I was pretty much fine.
"The stone is mine, I touched it first". She said to me. She had black with light gray hair. I quickly recognized her as Lex Wolfram or better said Lena Wolfram. She had black hair darker than ash while her eyes looked clearer than silver. And although she had a bit off a messy appearance, she did have an air of smartness.
"No I touched it first". I said back to her. I came this far for the stone I wouldn't give up.
"I touched it first". She said to me. I realized that this could go on forever so I know I need to think of something else.
Just as her character was described she is not only a calm and calculative person but also stubborn.
According to Lena's character, she respects talented people and especially people of her age who are stronger. We were both of the 3rd level, me a knight and she a mage. So I know how to get the stone.
"We could duel for it, the winner will get the stone". I proposed to her. And If her character was like how it was in the novel than she would accept.
"Hmmm, okay. But who will be judge"? She answered after realizing she had nothing to lose and it is a fair way to get the stone.
"If you trust me I can be the judge". I proposed but I don't guess she would accept.
"No. Let my guard be the judge". She said and suddenly behind her appeared an old lady.
"Young miss, are you sure you want to duel, If you want we could just take the stone". Asked the guard without any regard to me.
"No, I am curios to see if he can be a challenge". She answered. Besides it would be stupid to kill me without knowing my identity.
"If that's what the young miss wants. I will count to 3 and on 3 it will start. The first to have the other at his mercy will be the winner". She said saying the second part to both of us.
"1". I held my hand on my sword.
"2". I set my self ready to sprint forward.
"3". And I sprint.
I ran forward with my sword in my right hand. She shot out a fireball which I destroyed with my sword which was infused with a little aura.
Because of the fireball my vision was blocked for a bit so she already has a new spell ready which are several smaller balls of earth flying in the sky.
She shot out all of them which I dodged by making my self faster with infusing my feet with aura. Seeing that both of her spells didn't work and I was closing in she raised a wall of earth before me.
But what she didn't expect is that using my sword infused with a big chunk of my aura I cut the wall horizontally and just kept running forward.
I could se was getting frustrated because nothing she did work but respect to her for still keeping calm.
As a last attack she used her left over mana to make a powerful lightning attack.
I know that If this attack could defeat me if it hit me but I also know that the attack will probably follow me even if I dodge so I need to improvise.
So I trow my sword forward which would need to make him cut his spell short. So now I have my sword which is infused with my aura against his lightning attack.
Using this extra time my sword bought I slide under the lightning/sword duel and arrive before him and raise my hand which ends the duel.
"The duel ends, you are the winner". The guard end the duel afraid I would continue and gave me my victory.
"You fought well". I said smiling while giving him a hand to shake.
"Yes, you too". She said while maturely accepting her loss. But I saw a strange glint in her eyes which gives me a threatening feeling but I just ignore it.
"The stone is yours". Said the guard who gave me the stone. Now truly having it in my hand I could truly feel how much energy there is inside.
I took my sword which was almost fully melted because lightning is quiet hot.
"Sorry for your sword". She said while looking at my sword which was only the handle.
"No problem, it is just a normal iron sword". I said not really caring.
"Euuhh, I will go now". I said a bit awkward. I have never been in such a situation so I don't really know how to leave.
And like that my trip was successful with me getting the Miracle stone.
"Such an intresting boy, I want to know more about him". Said Lena smiling creepily.
