--------------7 years have passed

One of the most depressing situation that I imagine is that I did not rank up. It seems like there are some sort of situation, actions or maybe food that I need to eat in order to meet the requirements. I asked the old guy about what I think but he said he does not know. Both of his children are Isibini Igorha. Revon has a Gnome knight stance and Silva has a Knight stance. Anyway, I am still 11 years old so there is still tons of improvement.

For the past few years, I’ve been exercising such as jogging and also learning some basic swordplay from Revon. I don’t want to use magic for every fight, I might run out of mana or natural energy which might place me in disadvantage situation.

It seems like the late Baron Lucas is a herbalist and an alchemist. This is based on the journal that he left. It seems like a list of plants with it desirable and undesirable effect. He also wrote in the journal the specific way on how to prepare some medicine. It is clear and concise. Although, he did not use a metric system, he used the household materials and even draws it precisely in his journal. I checked the household materials and yes he has it, even the opening of the cup he used in one of the journal is perfectly drawn.

Few months back I asked Eliah if I can have the herbal journal and he said yes, since no one will use it anyway. I was so happy because I really want to create a medicine for burns, infection or any kinds of treatment. Based on the surrounding, the world’s medical or technological advancement is equivalent to the Roman period or before that, in my previous life but this is just my first assessment because who knows the other continent might be more advance. Still, I will not expect a very high assessment later in terms of advancement since this world are driven by thought of magic to the point of disregarding the technological advancement.

Me and the old guy were eating when we heard a huge explosion. Revon was in front the door in a serious face.

“Don't go outside”, Revon said it in a serious face. He closes the door and locked me and the old guy inside the house.

Revon’s POV

I can't believe they found us! My sister is already fighting with the other pursuer. I ran towards the nearest one. My sister and I are both Isibini. Bastards! I can’t let them kill my father! nor my cute little chef brother. They already killed my master! Over my dead body! Come and you are dead.

“It seems like you are about to die!”, said the brute guy then laugh maniacally. The brute guy is about 6’3” in terms of height. He has a tan skin, dark hair and dark eyes.

“Are you sure about that”. I smirked.

“ How about a trade then, I will spare your life just let me have the head of the old guy”, then the brute guy smile.

“And then what? Kill us, I rather die fighting than die because of my idiocy”, I said it in a calm manner.

“I will count up to ten, if you will not hand him then the offer is off. 1, 2, 3....” brute guy was counting then got interrupted.

“4, and 10!, I can count as well”, I smirked.

“You really full of shit!”, brute guy said in angry tone. He draw his two handed long sword then impale it on the ground. A brown energy is emitting from his bodies. His body was engulfed by brown energy, it looks like a grasses waving along with the wind.

Revon also release his will energy. Since he and the brute guy have the same rank and same stance they are like twins standing in the middle of the grass land.

Revon rush towards the brute guy, using his claymore like sword he swing it in a horizontal way then the brute guy uses his sword like a spring to lift his entire body into the mid air and manage to evade it. Revon managed to stop his swing half way then he shouted ‘ GROUND GEYSER!’ by impaling the ground by his sword he use his will energy and let it pass from the blade until it reaches the tip of the sword, by concentrating the energy at the tip of the sword he created an explosion from the ground with the diameter of 1 meter and as high as 5 meters.

The brute guy was hit by the ground explosion but he managed to coat himself a ‘earth cover’. An earth cover is a type of pure will energy that let the user engulf by the will of the gnome’s knight.

“ha ha ha ha ha, AMAZING!, you are worthy to be killed by me!” brute guy said.

“......Why did you killed the Baron?”, I asked calmly.

“Order from someone, he he he he, If you asked me who then my answer is I don’t know”, brute man said it.” And besides you will die here anyway, so what’s the fuss? I will slice your head, the same way I killed your beloved master. Ha ha ha ha, I can still remember his eyes popping after I place his head in the bag”, the brute man said it then laugh maniacally.

“Such a big words coming from a mouth of a coward, tsk tsk tsk”, I said it sarcastically.

The brute man became silent then his expression change to anger. “I guess playtime is over then”, brute man said in a deep angry voice.

Revon did not wait for the brute man to act, he immediately rush towards the brute guy and the brute guy manage to parry the horizontal slash. They exchange slashes several times then the brute guy grab something from his pocket. A small white ball was thrown in front of Revon but Revon managed to dodge it and distance himself for about 5 meters. When the ball hit the ground it explode and it create a very small crater.

The brute guy concentrate his will energy then infuse it to his sword, concentrating his will from the tip of his sword up until the middle of the blade. He shouted “ GROUND WHISPER” this style need at least half of the sword to be infused with will energy. By slashing vertically and hitting the ground by the infused parts of the sword, it will generate a linear shock wave which will result in creating a three 1 meter ground spike coming from the ground at least 2 meters away from the point of impact.

Revon manage to evade the skill, he ran to the side of the brute guy but the brute guy uses again the “GROUND WHISPER”. Revon manage to concentrate his will to the tip of his sword and manage to use “ GROUND GEYSER”, a huge explosion was created due to the impact of both skills. The entire perimeter impact was cover by ground dust.

Silva’s POV

“You...........! Agh!....”, I moaned while applying a pressure on a 3 inches cut on my left arm.

“I guess you are the weakest then.....LET ME ENJOY CARVING MY SIGNATURE ON YOUR SKIN!”, the mad guy said and laugh crazily.
