chapter 3
A lot of non-elemental warriors had tried to come up with a method to boost the physical strength of the human body. After numerous efforts from those warriors. They finally discovered some methods to strengthen the human body. Some methods required eating special food to strengthen the body and some required special forms of body training. Overall, many types of body strengthening methods were out there. The only problem with the body cultivating was its uneasy requirements like the special expensive food and the exhaustive training.
{Crimson bones} was a method made specially to strengthen the bones of the human body. The skill had three stages, the first stage was called Red Bones. The second stage was called Scarlet Bones and naturally, the third stage was called the Crimson Bones. The more you advance in stages, the more powerful your bones become.
Kazuki was currently on the second stage of the Scarlet Bones. To advance to the third stage, Kazuki needed to consume some rare herbs that he couldn't find until now. Besides that, Kazuki needs to not neglect his own body training.
The {Crimson Bones} method was invented by a mysterious school called The Silver Giants. As a matter of fact, the method was quite expensive that Kazuki could only buy it through an auction at the Golden City.
Of course, There were a lot of benefits in strengthening the body bones. One of them was gaining high flexibility. The stronger your body bones are, the more flexible you become. And the second benefit was to increase the body's speed. With strong body bones, the body could easily move much faster.
There were a lot of methods to strengthen the different parts of the body. Kazuki had trained other passive skills besides the Crimson bones to increase his physical strength.
Kazuki had used earlier his extremely flexible and fast body to perform the difficult movement skill {a fury of a mantis}. at the same time, by having this kind of body, Kazuki could easily shoot two arrows in under one second.
The third skill that helped Kazuki to evade the ten arrows was an extremely terrifying skill that was invented by Kazuki's himself. The skill was called {Sound Vision}. The skill has a short range of five meters. by using this skill, Kazuki could actually hear everything around him from the smallest thing to the biggest thing. He could even identify any kind of object that is coming towards him from its sound waves. He could calculate with his mind the speed of the object and its exact angle. Whether it was a small object like a needle or a big object like a flying sword, or even an elemental attack like a fireball, Kazuki could easily avoid all of those attacks as long as he uses his skill {Sound Vision}
Kazuki had trained his ears senses everyday to sharpen his hearing ability. With this skill, he could easily avoid an attack even if he didn't see it with his own eyes. That's why he didn't look at the ten arrows and only looked towards the five boards. Because he could easily see those ten arrows through his skill {Sound Vision}. Even though the skill had a short range of five meters, still, it was enough for Kazuki to be able to almost avoid anything within a range of five meters.

Outside the entrance of the archery training field, a fancy looking white carriage showed up. A petite girl who was aged around ten-years-old came out from the white carriage. The petite girl had long white hair and yellow colored eyes and was wearing the azure-colored dress of the imperial family members. with two armored maids following behind her, the petite girl went to the entrance where two officers were standing.
Arriving before them, the petite girl asked one of them with an emotionless face.
"Is my brother, the first prince, here?"
Knowing the identity of this petite girl, the two officers immediately pretended to be sick. The questioned officer saluted and replied weakly.
"Yes, your highness. He is in his personal archery section right now."
"Very well. By the way, What is wrong with you two?"
The petite girl asked, feeling suspicious.
"It's only a small cold, your highness."
The officer said, feeling nervous.
"If you two feel unwell, call for a leave from your superior."
The petite girl advised calmly before entering the archery training field.
"We will definitely do that, your highness."
The two officers replied in unison with a bowing head.
..
The petite girl walked gracefully towards Kazuki's archery section. Every soldier that saw her on the way would immediately flee or take a detour. those who couldn't do that, would do the same as the two earlier officers and pretend to be sick.
A newly recruited soldier who didn't quietly understand what's happening asked his captain who was walking beside him. The captain seemingly didn't notice the arrival of the petite girl.
"Captain, who is that person? and why everyone is running from her?"
"What are you talking about?"
The captain said.
"That girl."
The newly recruited soldier pointed out.
The captain looked carefully and saw the petite girl. An expression of fear and panic suddenly appeared on his face when he saw her.
"Run."
The newly recruited soldier could only hear a single word from his superior before seeing him turn around and run.
..
Meanwhile, Attendant Lee was enjoying watching Kazuki practicing. Suddenly, attendant Lee felt an ominous feeling invading his body. Turning around, attendant Lee saw the arrival of the petite girl from afar.
"This is a problem, I need to tell his highness."
Attendant Lee said to himself before walking quickly towards Kazuke to tell him.
"I apologize for disturbing your training, your highness, but princess Mira is here."
Attendant Lee reported with a whisper.
"Oh! My little sister is here."
Kazuki commented with a smile before stopping his training.
Kazuki looked towards the newcomers with a smile.
"Mira, what brought you here?"
Kazuki took the initiation to speak first.
"Big brother, I didn't find any sparring partners today. All the people I met today were either sick or too weak. So, I wanted to find, big brother to spar with me for a bit."
Princess Mira explained in a childish voice.
"Haha! Okay, I will spar with you for a bit, but you need to go easy on me."
Kazuki said, laughingly.
"Don't worry big brother. I will go easy on you."
Princess Mira said earnestly.
..
On a high circled stage that was used for sparring between the soldiers, Kazuki and Mira stood there facing each other.
Kazuki looked extremely calm while Mira looked extremely emotionless, yet a bit of excitement could be seen inside her eyes.
A big number of soldiers swarmed towards the sparring arena to watch the upcoming fight.
The same newly recruited soldier and his captain from before were watching too.
"Captain, you didn't answer me. Who is that petite girl?"
The newly recruited soldier asked curiously.
"This girl is the youngest princess. you are new here, so you don't know her. She looks petite and weak from the outside, but actually, she is pretty strong."
The captain explained calmly.
"Really!? that strong?"
"Yeah. Didn't you saw the soldiers earlier? Actually, they were running from her because they were afraid that she would ask them to be her sparring partners."
The captain explained calmly.
"But she looks only ten. Even if she is a fire warrior, she is still too young to be able to master the fire element."
the newly recruited soldier said in bewilderment.
"Hahaha! That's true, but only for ordinary fire warriors. What you don't know is that our princess is considered the number one genius in our entire Azure Empire. She had successfully become a first stage bronze ranked warrior at the age of 8. Additionally, some people say that she is too close to advance to the second stage."
The captain said in admiration.
"Woah! What a monster. if what you said is true, then, she has quite the potential to become a silver warrior in the future."
The newly recruited soldier said in amazement.
"That's why no one dares to offend her in the entire Azure Empire. she is considered by the emperor and the ministers as the nation's treasure."
The captain said.
To be continued.
