My life didn't change much. I spent the next 5 months training my sword mastery. My grampa kept on trying to indoctrinate my brother in his shameless ways which were frustrating to deal with. At the very least he was teaching Bell the heroic character which I was not opposed to but it kinda conflicted with my past. We celebrated the New Year and Bell's birthday in a nice cozy atmosphere. And here I was in my winter clothing(they live in the most humid and hotter areas as such it is not very hot and there is a lack of snow), I was prepared to take the test and obtain the new sword and skill.

In the instant, I accepted the rank up conditions and I got into my fighting stance as a much younger figure than, the one I saw killing the monster, appeared. I was instantly attacked by blinding flashes of attacks that barraged me. I didn't want to lose this competition and I responded to each attack with quick parries. After about 30 attacks, I breathed heavily as the figure charged at me again. I knew I would fail if it got a fatal blow and I knew it would be difficult to even dodge this attack. I focused on the attack as the image from the elderly figure appeared in my mind again.
'Speed...Precision...Decisiveness...Unbound...Unknown...All Into One Singular Strike'
[You have discovered the hidden meaning from the [Unbridled Spirit V1]. Stats Increase. New Skill!]
I didn't pay attention to the notification as my Taito blocked the incoming blade and my saber flashed with incredible speed. It looked like my saber didn't escape its scabbard but it would be proved otherwise as the head of the fellow in front of me was chopped off.
I looked at the new notification and smiled with a victorious smile.
[You have advanced to 'Practised Sword Wielder'(F). You have gained an increase in stats. [Unbridled Spirit] and [Sword Energy] have been hidden inside the skill]
I looked at my stats and my eyes widened to the point where they became wide dinner plates.
"WHAT THE HELL?!"

I was shocked to the core. It took 8 months for me only to become in the high-mid of G rank but I was instantly carried to Mid-Low F Rank which was awesome for people who have not made a contract with a God. I looked at my saber and Taito and I realized something. They became pure black in color. I looked at my personal weapon window and saw something interesting.

I looked at my saber again and activated {Sword Energy} and the instant I did it. My saber gained a luminous glow on it as it was sparkling with moonlight(sunlight).
I sheathed my blade and my weapons disappeared inside my body as simple colorful particles. I looked at my home and entered it to see my grandpa drinking warm tea. He beckoned me over and I sat on the opposite chair to him.
"My boy, you have grown so much. I see you are training practically daily. Do you want to...become an adventurer?"
"Perhaps grandpa...I just want some excitement in my life"
"I will not impede on your wish. I wish you will be careful at every moment's notice. Don't be arrogant, arrogance..."
"Will kill you"
My grandfather ruffled my hair and he said to me with a dead-serious voice.
"When and where will you leave?"
"I will probably go to Orario in 3-4 years. I need to prepare myself in order to be a candidate for a great familia"
"Alright but make sure to tell us when you will go so I can make sure to send you on your way safe and sound"
"I will, grandpa"
The rest of the evening, we spent talking to each other and relaxing. I went to my room and looked at Bell who was sleeping comfortably in his bed. I pat his head with care and sighed. I went to sleep.
{3.3 year's later}(he is 10, he gained his system on his 6th birthday(8+1/3x12)
I sighed as I looked at myself in the mirror. Despite my clear age of 10, I had an average height(for a 10-year-old) and my light-grey hair covered my green eyes and draped over my shoulders. My radioactive green eyes shined with increased luster as my body flexed its muscles. My body couldn't compare to my pre-training body. I was not a muscular dude but I have an agile and strong body frame. I looked at my black saber and Taito. Both of them had a strange golden guard and a set of strange red runes on them.

I looked at my packed things and sighed. I got my stuff and bid goodbye to my brother and grandfather. Despite the heartfelt moment, we didn't shed a tear.
It is time for my journey to Orario
