Chapter 3 : Real Talent (Part 1)

(I will be the sole examiner of this ground now. The rest of you, come!) (Ryuou)

The Silver Blade formed a silky white blade as he roared out his frustration.

(Is that the Silver Blade's famous silver blade itself?) (Examiner A)

(No way. His silver blade is that katana on his left. It was said only a silver light could be seen before a cut is done and that can only be seen by veterans who got good eyes.) (Examiner B)

A young examiner in warrior attire and a beautiful hot examiner in her witch clothes boasting her assets are having discussion on their own

The other examiners were going to jump in before got shut by the man of discussion himself. Ryuou sent his bloodlust directly to the examiners and warned them.

(Stay there and keep the safety and be a good audience. Cherish your front row VIP seats or you will join that Bobo boy over there or maybe I will have to pay compensation to the academy and your closest relatives instead.) (Ryuou)

(. . . ! ! ! ! !) (8 Examiners)

The remaining examiners are all scared to their very core as they just instantly shut their mouth and just sit tight on their own ways, not daring to utter another word.

But their hearts all scream the same sentence.

(8 Examiners)

Ryuou Toraken's infamous nickname, Blood Fiend. The nickname attached to him after he saved Sovelein Meta the Holy Flame when an occult organization trapped the Holy Flame in their anti magic array formation. The extinguished Holy Flame was about to meet his end until his rival cut through the organization's defense, forging a path of blood which the history recorded as the blood carpet, to save him.

Sovelein was giving up the nomination of the humanity's strongest to Ryuou but was rejected strongly by the person himself by "I am still the number 2. I will ask for a duel when I think I am worthy of number 1." retort from his rival. The council can only abide after a little "persuasion".

Thus, that incident become one of the famous legendary tale of the Silver Blade called the Blood Carpet. The story was tweaked a bit to the exhausted Holy Flame had vanquished 80000 of the occult members was saved by his best pal, the Silver Blade who forged the famous Blood Path from the remaining 20000 members of the occult organization and ended with the both of them defeated the occult leader with their combination attack called the "Golden Blade".

Behind the famous play of mankind, the Silver Blade baptised as the Blood Fiend. It is infamous but also a taboo to be heard by the man himself, since he had brought many people who said it in his presence to the sanctuary for the resurrection or even to the cemetery himself. None is excluded as he had sent a minister of a certain empire to the cemetery himself while attending the funeral on the front row himself as well.

The family felt touched and honored while the ones knew about the real truth vowed themselves to keep their mouth shut and careful when uttering the taboo words.

Back to the training ground,

Origin already took his leave and joining the audience on the audience seat.

He is now standing next to the princess. Her bodyguard is on her guard until Silvia tells her to stop and take her leave.

(But, your highness.... ) (Silvia's bodyguard)

(Nina.) (Silvia)

Silvia's calm but resolute remark has shown her authority. Her prowess also shocked Nina as well. The once guarded little princess is stronger than the Ice Queen of all races.

(You better show your respect to the princess or y.. . .) (Nina)

(Or you will come and warm my bed, thicc lady.) (Origin)

Blushed, Nina flustered after being caught off guard.

(W. . . wa.. warm your...

Eyy..... How dare you!

And who you are calling thick? I am not fat!) (Nina)

Nina unsheathes her sword and points it to Origin.

(Nina!) (Silvia)

Silvia's raised voice startled the flustered lady.

(There will be no next time.) (Nina)

Nina said so as she is sheathing back her sword to its sheath.

As Nina turned around and is about to leave Silvia, Origin returns her remark.

(You should thank your princess indeed, N - i - n - a.) (Origin)

[Author note : This is original and is english based. So any who like it can replace that with Nina-chan for tension sake.]

Nina turned to Origin but Silvia just forms ice spikes from outside them to shoo the surrounding audience. The cold startled the audience to make them aware of the spikes while the ice spikes is slowly expanding towards them to tell them to move away a bit further.

Nina understands the meaning clearly and leave them through the path Silvia has prepared for her. The path Nina passed grown ice spikes to clearly tell her intention.

Origin only giggled as he cover his uncovered golden left eye with his right hand as if it was a mask.

(Big sister, do you have to be extravagant? I can cover us up anytime.) (Origin)

A sense of something covered them is felt by Silvia who stopped her expanding ice spikes.

She stopped hearing the scream of the confident ones that thought the princess wouldn't dare to thrust the spikes to them since it went slowly.

(Space magic! So you are little brother 44? That's why you use that mask?) (Origin)

(First number who is born royalty and is a 1st tier as well as is a 1st generation herself as well, isn't it big sister 41?) (Origin)

(Don't answer me with another question.

And "answer my question!" is what I was going to say. But, that's an answer in a sense as well. The only ones who knew about this should be the Caretaker and the fellow royalties numbers.

Which means you are the original 41, right, big brother? Or should I call you little brother 43?

So that boy with the high result is 42 or is he 44?

You don't mind answer your cute little sister's question, right, big brother?) (Silvia)

(As expected of the pure royalty, so blessed.

You were going to be 42 but I like number 43. So, that boy is your little brother even he is older than you. 44 wouldn't be this timid. He would have done basically what I have done but with all 10 plus extras to the sanctuary.

45 will. . .

Oopss slips of the tongue. Don't mind it.

By the way, nice play back then.) (Origin)

Silvia looked at Origin blankly from lots of information she is not allowed to know.

(No way! You want the benefits but you don't want the obligations you supposed to bear!

Meanie!) (Silvia)

(Too sharp will hinder you from getting life partner you know, my cute lil' sis.

I will have my have have my way with that fruitful young lady from before and I will help you when you are in pinch, how's that?) (Origin)

(No way! Nina is like a big sister to me. She even denied marriage proposals to be with me. Even if it is you, I won't let her suffer!) (Silvia)

(Interesting indeed. Both of you didn't even deny the fact I call her thicc or fruitful.

(That) (Silvia)

No need to be so flustered and cut me in between like that. She will definitely suffer if she has chosen to follow you.

EVEN if you are not 41.

Sooner or later, people will notice the existence of number.

Father blessed us and we live up to our life and entertain him. You know about it.

She will be stronger as my girl instead of your follower. You are still not polished enough. She will be your weakness sooner or later.

I wont let her suffer but she will suffer if she betrayed me.) (Origin)

(Hmph... Said the irresponsible brother.) (Silvia)

(That's my lil sis.) (Origin)

He patted her head as he said that.

The patted girl blushed before taking a step back and thrusting her hands below to fume out her anger.

While on the field below them,

Sin is struggling to injure Ryuou.
