Chapter 3- Testing my Abilities part 2

“Scatter Senbonzakura” I chanted and immediately the sword scattered into tiny sword fragments that reflects light that resembles a cherry blossom. Only the sword handle is left on my right hand. I controlled the sword fragments which is scattered all around me to attack one of the wooden dummies and the dummy was sliced up into tiny pieces instantaneously. I played with the ability for a good half an hour.

I used my mind to control the sword fragments, making it form a protective shield around me, I also used my mind to control the pathing of the fragments. But using your mind and using the blade handle has totally different effects. Mentally commanding the blade causes it to move and react slower to commands compared to using the handle which increases the speed of the fragment by fifty percent.

Finish with my experiment. I dispersed the sword and sat down on the floor in a meditative stance and absorb the mana in the air to replenish the energy that my body has used.

*Knock Knock*

While in the middle of replenishing my lost mana, I hear someone knock on the door. Opening my eyes I shouted out “Who is it?”

“It’s me young master” replied a cute feminine voice outside of my dojo.

Ahh its just Astrea I surmised. Strange I ordered the guard to not let anyone disturb me while I was ‘training’.

“What is it Astrea?” I questioned.

“You’re father has returned young master.”

“Okay. I’ll be right there” I answered quickly.

So father has returned from his mission. The goblin population has been getting out of hand recently and their recent activities involves kidnapping girls from the nearby villages, so King Julius gave father and his men the mission of getting rid of the pest and to save the kidnapped girls.

Sigh I wish I had a bit more time in exploring my ability. I don’t even know it’s half of what it can do and can’t do.

Getting out of the dojo, I can see Astrea waiting for me outside. I gave her a questioning look and she just smiled at me.

“Let’s go” I said.

I walked towards the main house with Astrea trailing behind me.

Inside the house. I see father and mother talking and smiling at each other. Aww they look so cute together. Father being 6ft tall and mother only being 5ft. Compared to father, mother looks so small. I guess that’s part of her charm. Being small and cute makes anyone want to protect and love them.

Finally noticing my presence they both turned towards me and smiled.

“Hey brat I heard you collapse from exhaustion” boomed father in a jesting voice.

“You got your mother worried. Hehehe but I wasn’t, I knew you were going to be okay. You’re my son after all”

Suddenly my mother burst out laughing. I look at her, my face scrunched in confusion. ‘Why is she laughing?’

Finally finish from her laughing fit she wiped her eyes and said “That’s funny. When Vectre was unconscious who was it that panicked when a messenger bird delivered the message that something happened to his son and immediately left his men to fight the goblins by themselves and teleported here.”

I looked at my dad and I could see him reddening and rubbing the back of his head with his eyes cast down on the floor.

I supressed a giggle seeing him like that. I feel warm in my chest and I feel fuzzy and giddy. I guess this was it felt like to be loved by your parents.

I smiled at them.

“Vectre why are you crying” asked mom in a worried tone.

My dad also looking at me in concern.

Lifting up my hand to touch the side of my face, I could feel the wetness streaming in the side of my face.

I shook my head. “I’m fine”.

And I ran to my parents arms and hugged them.

“I love you mom, dad.” I whispered.

“We love you too son”
