I woke up early in the morning, even before the sun had rose. I left my room quietly, by using pure mana I was concealing my presence and was not making a sound. I left the house and made my way to the training area for morning workout.

I did my laps around the training area while converting pure mana into fire mana. I also used pure mana to make my body heavier. It felt like I was wearing 20kg weighed clothing. By the time the sun had started to rise, I finished my workout and headed back home

*Quietly opens door*

I enter the house and it looks like no one is up yet. I tip toe back into my room.

* Quietly opens door *

I enter my room and quickly close the door.

???: “Where have you been”

Shit, I knew who’s voice that was. I turned around to find her, I see my father and Liza standing in the corner of my room, both with their arms crossed

Me: “F*ck. Umm nowhere”

‘Dam I thought they would still be sleeping’.

Aunt Liza and dad wore an angry expression that felt like they were about to unload on me. They both slowly creeped towards me, making me nervous with each step. They were now about inches away and Aunt Liza leaned towards me. I readied and braced myself for the impact of the yells and the lecture that was about to come shortly but that didn’t happen, instead…

Liza: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY Lanza”

I was surprised to hear that. I turn around to look at my father and he has a grin on his face. After a little pause he says proudly

Arrancar: “Happy Birthday son”

I thought that they would lecture me about swearing or ask me where I was in the morning, but I guess I was wrong

After bombarding me with hugs and kisses they left my room to prepare for the day. As they left I went to have a quick shower and make my way to the kitchen for breakfast. Both father and Liza were already sitting there and were waiting for me to come. I sit down and then father asked me a question

Arrancar: “Lanza, what is ‘f*ck’? I have never heard of such a word before”

Holy shit, I forgot that there is no such word in this world

Me: “ummmm, it means, uhh m-morning. It means good morning”

Arrancar: “Ohh, I see. What language does it belong to?”

Me: “Ahh umm t-the demon language”

Arrancar: “I know a bit of demon language, but never have I heard of such a word”

Me: “I-I-It’s a new word, yes a new word. So that is why it is not that well known yet. Father, if you’re going to use that then you have to say it properly”

Arrancar: “And how is that”

Me: “F*ck you father”

Arrancar: “hehe, well f*ck you too son”

Liza: “F*ck you Lanza”

Me: “Ahh, y-you too Aunt”

I awkwardly ate breakfast with Liza and father, then we got ready to go to the adventurer’s guild for my attribute test

The three of us talked about useless stuff as we made our way to the adventurer’s guild. After a few minutes, we arrived at our destination, as we were about to enter the building, my father stopped me and knelt on one leg while saying

Arrancar: “No matter what happens today, know that I will always be proud of you”

Me: “Yes father”

We entered the guild and were welcomed by James.

Arrancar: “F*ck you James”

James: “What???”

Arrancar: “It mean good morning in the demon language, it’s new so it’s not that well known”

James: “Well in that case, f*ck you all. Now it’s time to see what your attributes are”

Me: “Ok teacher”

James pulls out the attribute crystal and says

James: “Now Lanza. All you have to do is touch this crystal ball and the colours that will light up will be your attribute”

Everyone who was in the guild turned quiet and looked over at me. They were all curious to see my attributes

Following James explanation I touch the crystal ball. After a whole minute a layer finally lit up

Everyone in the guild expect father, Liza and James started to laugh

James: “QUIET!”

James yelled in a loud voice that echoed throughout the entire guild

James: “Lanza my boy, don’t be disappointed, but you only have fire attribute”

Me: “Why would I be disappointed?”

Everyone looks at me with surprise. Usually when a child does the attribute test and ends up with only one attribute, they break down in tears. But I was completely fine

I look at father and Liza, they both had sad expressions on their faces. They felt sad for me, since I only have one attribute, they knew I would be picked on by others and be discriminated against.

James then looks at my father and then back at me and says

James: “Well, why don’t I let you do the ranks test?”

Me: “But won’t I do that at school”

James: “Yea you will. But aren’t you even a little bit curious to know your rank. I know I am”

Me: “Can I father?”

Arrancar: “Sure, I don’t mind”

At my father’s words, James takes out another crystal ball from his pocket. It looks the same as the other one but only with more layers on it, way more. The attribute crystal had 7 layers while the rank crystal has 15 layers

How the rank crystal works is, upon touching it the layers will light up with a single colour. The first layer is low-omega while the last layer is high-alpha

James: “Touch it”

Everyone again looks at me. This will be the first time for everyone to see a child under the of 10 do an rank test

I touch the crystal ball and the layer slowly start to light up

The first 5 layers had been lit so far. I still had my hand on the crystal

Another layer lit up

Everyone was quiet, not a single sound could be heard, expect Liza’s heartbeat increasing with each layer that lights up

*ba-dum*

Another 2 layer lit up

*ba-dum* *ba-dum*

Another layer lit up

*ba-dum**ba-dum**ba-dum*

One more lit up

*ba-dum**ba-dum**ba-dum**ba-dum*

One more lit up

*ba-dum**ba-dum**ba-dum**ba-dum**ba-dum*

It stopped lighting up at the 11th layer

No one dared to utter even a single word, the room was silent. All the adventurers and guild workers stared at me with wide eyes. Some, who were sitting got up unconsciously

James finally said my rank out loud making sure everyone heard him

James: “M-m-mid-beta. HE IS A MID-BETA!”

Looking around I could see the eyes of adventurers looking at me, eyes filled with happiness, rage, jealousy, envy and hatred

Looking back at my father he made a V sign at me with a very proud expression, Liza with her eyes wide open and mouth that could fit 2 double cheese burgers showed mixed expression on her face. James had a surprised expression on his face but he knew that I had reached high-delta so that surprise didn't last long.

???#1: “It’s a lie!, A kid at the age of 5 reaching the level of mid-beta”

???#2: “This test was setup by you James, this is absurd”

???#1: “We want proof of HIS POWER”

James looks at them cunningly and then turns towards me and back at the 2 furiously looking men.

James: “You want proof? How about a duel between the two of you and this child”

???#2: “Are you stupid why should we fight a little kid, what if we end up killing him by accident HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH”

James: “Well you are the ones that wanted proof of his power, don’t tell me that you are scared of a little child”

James looks at me and say “are you fine with this Lanza” I didn’t really care much and grinned at the 2 men who accused me and said yes with arrogance.

The look on the two men boiling with rage agreed to the duel. I thought that they would make good test subjects for my newly created magic.

----------

Father, Liza, James, the 2 men and I made our way to the training area within the guild followed by many curious spectators that had filled the whole of the training area leaving about 10x8m space for the duel.

Liza: “Lanza you don’t have do this. You only turned 5 today and you’re about to face 2 high-gamma adventures. Please rethink this”

Arrancar: “don’t worry about him Liza he going to mop the floor with them” ‘I think’

I nod at father’s words and turn to face my enemies, just then James says to me

James: “Remember that I told you about the test I was going to give you 5 months from now”

Me: “Yea”

James: “Well consider this your test”

Me: “Yes Teacher”

James: “The big guy is Chen, a low-gamma with wind and water attributes, tho he is not good at using magic. The other one is Fuen, mid-gamma with water, lightening and light attributes”

Me: “Thank you for the information”

Once again I face the two men and slowly walk towards them

???#1: “Don’t ya think that we ganna go easy on ya”

Said Chen, he had a big build and bald head with a giant sword hanging on his hip.

???#2: “Imma break your face little sh*t”

Said the other guy as he was gathering mana in his hands

James: “FIGHT!”

Chen unsheathed his massive two edged sword and dashed towards me. He was a few meters away from me when he lifted the sword above his head, ready to strike me down. He swung his sword downwards aimed at my head. His movements were slow and dull. It took me a simple side-step to dodge his attack

As soon as I stepped to the side, Fuen sent a lightning bolt towards me. To which, I jumped over. As I was in mid-air, Chen appeared in my field of vision, he was to my left and was about to strike me with his sword. I quickly used fire flight and instantly appeared right in front of Fuen and punched him in the face using fire fist.

I could cover distances up to 10-15 meters in a split-second using fire flight

Fire fist is one of the new magic attacks that I created. I simply cover my hands with fire while having a barrier made of pure mana on my hands to protect me from the fire. With fire fist, my punching strength doubles and taking into account the instant acceleration with fire flight, the force behind my punch was devastating

Fuen flew serval meters before hitting the ground, using the momentum that I had already built up, I again used fire flight and got behind Chen and used fire fist to send flying as well. The match had ended with a 5 year old knocking out two grown men in less than 30 seconds

I turn around to look at my father and Liza. Father had his eyes wide open while Liza had her mouth covered with her hands. Looking at James, he has a grin on his face, as if not even fazed at what had happened. All the spectators were also speechless and some of them sweating intensely

James: “Well that definitely proves his power, does it not?”

James broke the silences while asking if anyone else wanted to try and prove him wrong. At that comment, no one could say anything. All of their eyes became filled with fear of the power a single attribute mid-beta had shown

I walked towards father and Liza and say them

Me: “Shall we go now father?”

Arrancar: “……….”

Me: “Father?”

Arrancer: “u-um y-yes, l-lets go”

Both father and Liza said nothing on the way back home
