Ambition

==========

The moon went down , before the sun even arrive,

little Neo was outside in the forest behind the in.

Neo mind was set to become a great wizard but his magic is quite weird and to enter the Magician Academy in Liske kingdom , you will need an affinity.

With that in mind Neo was determine to become a Warrior to gain fame and to enter a high standing guild.

With Neo weird magic , he could easily finish guild quest that would require him to kill monsters.

Neo is now training his sphere , his goal was to unlock the mystery of his own affinity and to make his sphere bigger.

The bigger it is , the stronger it is , that is what Neo had in mind.

He wasn't sure how to start making his sphere bigger but he remember the times he was in the ravine , his sphere was slightly small than his fist but when he woke up , the sphere was slightly bigger than his fist.

With that in mind he was sure there was a reason behind it.

Neo-"My ankle broken.. I was thirsty and abit hungry..

I fainted for maybe a week..no..I died that times for sure.. but I woke up , my body felt stronger and I didn't feel any thirst... plus my ankle felt no pain and my sphere grew abit too..What exactly happened in the forest.. was it my doing?.."

While he whisper to himself Neo kept molding his sphere with his imagination , he notice that his magic weren't flexible to act like as a rubber.

But for now , he know that his sphere can get bigger so it was enough for him , ever since Cyel went in his bed , Neo snuck out quietly and ran in the forest behind the inn , just like he did when he was a kid.

He had more strenght and stamina for a child of his age.

The biggest change Neo's body when he woke up in the forest was his force level that went up dramatically.

His legs muscle allowed him to be super fast , his arms muscle allowed him to easily break boulders twice his size.

He started his routine with a 2km quick paced run , 500 push ups , 1000 sit ups and finally , pushing big boulders back and forward.

The sun was rising , Neo was sleeping behind the inn , laying on the ground while snoring quietly.

Ria-"Ah! Big sister Cyel , I knew it! Something felt wrong when you said that we would sleep in separated room! You just wanted to keep Neo for yourself huh!"

Cyel-"....mmm.. Ria.. So loud ..Is it morning yet.."

While Cyel was having hard times waking up , Ria was protesting and shaking her sister body.

Ria-"Huh , sister Cyel , where is Neo?"

Cyel-"Neo... little Neo ? He is right here.."

Cyel eyes were still closed while hugging a pillow.

Ria-"Big sister , that's a pillow.."

Cyel immediately open her eyes and stood up.

Cyel-"What! Where is little Neo, where did he go , why!"

Ria-"Sister Cyel relax , Neo is probably eating breakfast in the inn hall "

While Ria look out the window she sees the sun rising and then she look down and notice someone on the floor.

Ria-"I found Neo!!"

Cyel-" Wh..what , where?"

Ria points toward Neo who was sleeping on the floor.

ZzzzzzzZzz......

Cyel and Ria rest on their knees and poke Neo's cheeks

Cyel-"Little Neo , why are you sleeping here?"

Neo open his eyes and notice the presence of the sisters.

Neo-"Good morning sister Ria , big sister Cyel..Uhmm I was jogging and then..I felt asleep here.."

Ria starts laughing while Cyel was helping Neo stand on his feet.

Cyel-"Why are you jogging.. If you are sleepy atleast don't sleep outside like this , what if you caught a cold"

Cyel was patting Neo's head and held his hand then return back in the inn to eat breakfast.

On table , Ria , Cyel and Neo were eating together while the soldiers were preparing the carriage and horse since they already ate.

Cyel-"Little Neo is jogging in the morning , does it mean you want to be a Warrior? or a Hunter?"

Neo-"Uhmm...Yes... I want to be a strong Warrior and join a strong guild.."

Ria-"2 Magician and 1 Warrior! Isn't that good big sister Cyel? If Neo reach our rank we can do quest together , and Neo you better keep training hard hmmp.

Cyel-"Hehehe that is right , little Neo will keep us safe while we cast our spell hehehe *Little Neo , the knight in shining armor*"

Cyel giggles and look toward Neo.

Neo-"I...if I can be useful for sister Ria and big sister Cyel ,then..sister Ria and big sister Cyel are in a guild?"

Ria-"Hehehe that's right Neo , not only is a famous guild , it is also the biggest guild in Liske kingdom ,it's called the Sun Sentinel, the guild get job and mission from all around the continent because we have a reputation for succeeding 96% of the times! Not only that , our daddy is the guild master huhuhuh"

Neo was surprise that they belonged to a prestegious guild and for their father to be the guild master , Cyel must certainly be a high rank Magician or Wizard.

Cyel-"Hehehe little Neo looks surprised *so cute*, but the only reason we have a high succeed rate is because we were told to only take quest that we can handle "

When they finish eating , Ria and Neo went ahead into the carriage while Cyel was saying her farewell to granny Leez.

Ria-"Neo , come sit with me here hehe, by the way do you know anything about Liske kingdom other than its academic system?"

Neo-"Uhmm.. not really.."

Neo sat beside Ria and she starts explaining to Neo about her kingdom.

Liske kingdom was the birth place of her family , she was travelling with Cyel back after completing a mission in Estil, Estil was a kingdom just half a day from Neo's village, their mission wasn't hard at all , it involved meeting people.

Than she told me that Liske Kingdom gather alot of student from around the continent because they are known to give produce alot of strong Wizards and Knights.

Not only it produce military force , they can also recommend guild that will suit each individual personality , they also teach student who are interested in becoming a merchant or explorer.

Merchant who graduate from Liske academic get a certain amount of fund to fund their business , while explorer are for people who either want to explore the vast infinite sea or the origin of Valerian continent.

Valerian Continent is really big , they haven't fully explored part of the forest because they were dangerous , and of course , almost no one discovered anything over seas because they gave up too quickly since the sea was too big for them.

Explorers are close to what we would also call information brokers , you want to find a certain cave , river or place , you just have to describe them a little bit and some explorer might know where it is.

As Ria was explaining , Cyel came in the carriage and sat beside Neo, Neo is now between both sisters.

Ria-"Big sister Cyel! Why aren't you sitting in your spot !"

Cyel-"Huhuhu I am merely sitting beside Neo , don't think you can keep him for yourself huhu"

Ria wraps her arms around Neo's neck.

Ria-"But you had Neo last night! So Is my turn to have Neo for this trip hmmp!"

Neo-"*What am I?.. a teddy bear for...these sisters.. hahaha...*"

The carriage and the soldiers left the city early in the morning , they travel on the dirt road , and the forest around them were diminishing as they were getting close to Liske kingdom.

Cyel and Ria were thinking of enrolling Neo into the Warrior academy and have Neo live with them in their house instead of the dorm for certain *reasons*...

Neo was happy that he could attend school but he was sad when Cyel said she would take care of the tuition fees

Ria held Neo to comfort him and said not to worry but Neo was still showing his sacred art golden teary puppy eyes

Cyel-"Awwe little Neo , if you feel really that bad about it then why don't you hurry and graduate and work it off in the guild with me hehehe"

Ria-"Big sister Cyel! are you excluding me!"

They start laughing and then suddenly , the air tremble , the carriage stop and the horses were panicking.

The soldier quickly dismounted the horse and took their battle stance , a crack appeared in front of the carriage , the crack was all black and suddenly a long arm stretch out from the crack ,pierced the soldier by the side of the carriage ending his life.

Neo saw the claw pierce through the heart of the soldier , while Ria scream and cover her eyes , Neo and Cyel quickly rush out to see what happened.

It was a predator , it looked like a big purple mutant ant that was standing 2 feet ,had 4 arms with claw and was atleast 5 meters tall.

The expression of the captain was ugly , he turn around and look at Cyel and shouted.

Soldier-" RUN MY LADIES! "
