Chapter 6
you opened your core son" father replied.
-------
Another year had passed, and the house of the Auzwick is finally rebuilt after Arthur opened his core and caused an inevitable explosion.
Arthur is now 4, after the inevitable explosion of their house, the life of auzwick gradually changed. The way of how Arthur's parents treat him is no longer the like way they treated him back then. Arthur's parents is forced to face the reality sooner than they expected, and that reality is, Arthur opening his core. Arthur, is yes, a remarkable child. He is the prodigy that stood higher than all prodigies ever known, even in the history of the man kind, or rather all the kinds, he is no way near them. Because no one opened their core at the age of 3.
3 Years old is the by far the earliest and the most impossible record for an individual to open their core. Not even in the Elven Kingdom nor the Dwarven Kingdom had a record of this.
In spite having the greatest history to be ever written, Arthur's parents chose to remain calm and wanted to hide the truth about arthur. Because if this news got out, it will cause not just war among all the kingdoms, But also a war among humans. because a mere child with extraordinary potential should not exist. Though, it will ofcourse will be hidden, the existence of Arthur is nothing but a mere bliss in the humans world. He is nothing but a mere commoner living in the forest hidden among every beings.
And so, the normal life of Arthur, continues to flow naturally, with Arthur having nothing to be wary of.

Arthur's PoV
It's been a year since i opened my core, our house exploded because of me. I apologized for days because of that thing, though my parents said that they are happy because of that, despite our house getting blown apart, my parents are proud of me because of what happened.
They said that opening my core at such a VERY young age is the most extraordinary thing a human could do, and my father, Troy brags about him being the great dad ever. Though he really didn't do anything concerning the matter of me opening my core.
I am now 4 years old and the house is oddly nice for a commoner, its like an aristocrat house. The exterior is oddly nice, and so does the interior.
Authors Note: Look at the picture on the beginning of this chapter to find out what the fuck does his house looks like. Thx.
I can finally stand straight, not like when i was three years old who always sits to meditate and because of that i kept on failing to stand firmly and confidently, but, i am now confident, because i can now stand straight like the way i did in my past life. Chest out, stomach in and Chin up. That's the stand of a king and those who bear the greatest responsibility of all.
I can also speak well, i no longer rattle when speaking. I can speak straight and ofcourse in the most mannered way. *ehem* cause thats how kings should be.
The Sphynx, who helped to rebuilt our house was amused when they heard me speaking, they are amused on how mannered i was and even questioned my father if i am really his child.
"hey kid arthur, how will you greet me" Leonte the knight said.
"Mensiour leonte, i will greet you in the way i greet the kings, for so you have helped us not by just rebuilding our house but also securing our safety. I thank thee for your patronage, though by my age i am not able to repay any debt im in right now."
"yo yo yo~~ is this kid a noble?" leonte said in amusement.
"i fear not Mensiour, i am just a mere commoner" i replied.
"a kid that speaks like a noble, what a surpirsed. Is this really your son Troy?" Arwin the assassin said to compliment me.
"OFCOURSEEE HA-HA-HA-HA" My father, out of nowhere became an annoying douche.
"I RAISED THAT BOY LIKE A NOBLE, LIKE A FATHER WOULD DO" He said while being high of himself.
"blah-blah-blah, eat your words, you did nothing but sleep all day and give me all the chores in the house" My mother said to counter my father.
"shut up troy, a lousy person like you could never even speak like that" Jane said to aide my mother.
"yeah yeah booo" arwin said.

A day had passed, I'm here in the window of our house watching my father do his everyday, practice in our porch. While i gaze at him, i analyze his every moves so that i can do it in the other day.
He's meditating and focusing the mana around him to get inside his body to serve as reinforcement, He's an accelerator who reinforce their body with mana to double their strength and speed. He had the earth ability, now he will perform one of his tricks.
He meditated for about a minute, then he deepens his breath. He's observing the surroundings as he breathe , a couple of minute had past and a couple of rocks and pebbles levitate in the middle of the air. And then-
"HURYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" he shouted as he punched the ground and it made a chunk of the ground to split up and half of it risen.
"KURIYAAAAAAAAAAAAA" he shouted again as he kicks the half of the chunk of the ground and the impact made it flew for about a hundred meters away.
Why does he need to scream like that, does that give you more strength or does it give you more power? i cant understand the reasons behind people screaming.
In my past life, we need to keep ourselves shuts. Because if we dont attack quietly, it will lead you to your doom for alerting the enemy and giving them your coordinates.
Though, that kind of training is not applied on this world. That's why humans back then the Kingdom war lost more casualties than the two kingdom.
As i continue to watch my father do his meaningless screams, he spotted me and invited me to join him.
As i slowly approach him, he picked something up in small bag residing near him.
"arthur my boy, come here quick" he said.
I had no choice to run quickly to aide his request.
"im here father, what is it that you want?" i said.
"here" as he gives a wooden sword for me.
"but this is a wooden is, your gift for me in my 3rd birthday right father?" i said.
"call me dad geez. Yes it is my gift for you, and do you wanna know why i gave it to you?" he said.
"okay dad, why?" i replied.
"we're going to practice now" then he laughs with an intent to bully me.
"WHAT IS THAT?! ARE YOU NUTS?! ARTHUR IS JUST 4 YEARS OLD TROY! FOUR-YEARS-OLD!" My mother came and scolded father.
"b-but he opened his core so why not?" my father said in excuse.
"HMPF OPENED OR NOT IT WILL NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT HE IS STILL A FOUR YEAR OLD KID!" My mother continued to scold my mother, but i step up.
"mother, its okay. It'll do no harm for me and i think it would be great to train my body at a young age" i said that in confident but i am not sure if i am comfortable on having this small frail body of mine.
"see, see, and i will use stick honey dont be too exaggerated hehehe" my father said while grabbing a stick near him.
"hmpf, okay since arthur said so. But i will watch and if you ever wounded or hurt arthur, i SWEAR IN MY LIFE YOU WONT BE COMING HOME EVER AGAIN!" My mother said as she slowly raises her voice.
"right right, i wont i wont i promise" my father said.
I grabbed the wooden sword, and my father got a branch on his hand.
My father stood up straight like he was using a fence, while i positioned my self in combat mode.
I have my lower body part widens a little while gathering all my strengths in my shoulder. I am positioned like a normal swordsman, with my heads up chest in stomach in posture and a sword pointed at the enemy like a normal swordsman would do.
My father with his wrinkled eyes, spoke. "You look like a swordsman young boy." he said as he smirks.
We waited for the first opponent to strike, The main rule to win in a sword fight is wait for the strike of your opponent, so you can catch him off guard as he strike.
I waited not so long and my father made a move. He dashes in a normal speed and then strike upwards with his branch.
I followed his attack, i did not dodge but i strike instead. I dashed on his side trying to find an opening "there", i saw his left shoulder open and i strike without any hesitation. I thought i hit his left shoulder but-
"you saw an opening huh?, now where is it?" he said as he blocked my strike.
"you could have sliced this stick and have my left shoulder wounded if you were about as old i am." he said while slowly backing off and making a distance to start over again.
"what is this how can my son moved like a swordsman" troy said to himself.
"my boy, try to slowly take a deep breathe, and focus on your mana, ask it to supply some mana on your sword, it will give a boost" my father advised me to do that and so i did.
I took a deep breathe and close my eyes. I focused on my mana, asking it is ridiculous so i made it supply mana on the sword by imagine some dim lights gathering around and letting my sword absorb it.
"its impossible for him to do it, it took me atleast 10 days to master" troy said to himself.
I can feel it. I can feel the heat of it. I did what i was told and then i slowly opens my eyes. The moment i took a glimpse of my sword, its brimming in light, The mana i have swallowed my wooden sword and strengthen it.
"you're my my son, and i am your father" i didn't know why my father said that but i can see to his eyes that he is amused by what i just did.
"now lets continue" i said, and smiled.
In confidence, i strike first. I dashed towards his branch and strike it. He blocked it right away, and jump a little bit to make a distance.
He dashed in me, and so did i. We made a contact and my sword and his branch met. I can't break nor put more strength on my shoulders to break his branch in to. So i have no choice but to jump right back again.
"backing off huh" my father tried to provoke me. But why would get provoked?
I need to think on how to break his branch or otherwise i cant win. And tsk, my father sure is childish, he doesn't even want his 4 years old son to win.
My father and i are moving in circles while waiting for someone to strike first. And at that moment i was thinking of how can i attain more strength. I was in the middle of trying to strike first or stay low, until a thought pops up in my head.
The way on how i strengthened my sword might also work on my shoulders, this might be impossible but lets try it out.
I closed my eyes as i slowly walk in circles, i took a deep breath and imagine some dim lights reinforcing my shoulder. The moment i did that, i felt the heat burning my shoulders.
Instead of feeling pain, adrenaline rushed took over my body and i feel the excitement rushing wild in my body.
I didn't waste any time, and dashed right away. I strike upwards and my dad instant blocked it.
But that time, i can feel that my father's shoulders are rattling and the branch is about to snap in to.
But before it did, he accelerated the stick so it would not snap in two.
"thats cheatinggg troyyy!!" My mother shouted.
"i-its not." my father replied.
"what is this, who am i fighting. Am i fighting for my life here? is this really my son?" Troy spoke to his mind.
"he moves like a beast, where did he get his skills?".
"how did you learn that skills of yours, son?" Father asked me.
In my past life im a King, ofcourse i would be a beast that would devour other beasts, i spent countless years mastering my swordskills and mastering the art of ki. But ofcourse, this is a new world, i am reborn. So i have no choice but to lie.
"By watching you father" i said.
"hooo, you're quite a fast learner then" my father replied.
"then we will spar now, be ready son" he said.
"oka-" before i finish my sentence, he dashed right ahead.
I stood straight and waited for him to close his distance between him and me, and then *cracks*, his stick and my wooden sword met.
"OKAYYYYYYYYYYY STOPPP YOU TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" My mother shouted and grabbed our weapons.
"geez, you're both fighting fiercely. You are just sparring and yet you gave your all" my mother said.
"my son is my son afterll" my father said while smiling.
My father patted my head and said, "im proud of you". After he said that.
I felt a little bit of dizziness and my surroundings are slowly fading away, "whats happening?" i said as the dizziness get even more intense, and then i closed my eyes and everything went dark.
-------
"hey, youre finally awake" my mother is rubbing my body with a wet cloth, i guess she's giving me a bath.
"what happened mother?" i asked her, she then smiled and explained what happened.
"you're mana ran out, that thing will explain the dizziness you felt before losing your consciousness, then the reason why you fainted because your body fatigue reached its maximum limit, perhaps you break through it. You didn't do that because you didn't just accelerated your right arm but your body as well." she explained while rubbing my back with a wet cloth.
"h-how did you know that mother" i said.
"well, your mother is a deviant and is a healer, sometimes we get too overworked and eventually sucking up our mana dry so thats why i know what you just experienced." she replied while rubbing my feet.
"n-NO MOTHER I WILL DO IT" i said, BECAUSE SHE WAS ABOUT TO WASH MY MOST PRIVATE PART.
"w-what?! why" my mother looks confused.
"Let him do it" my father arrived. "he's entering the manhood stage" he said.
"w-what?! isn't that a bit too early for him?" my mother said while scratching her head.
"he opened his core a year ago, means the development of his will sky rocket." my father explained.
"well that explains it." my mother sighs. "here, arthur take it. Hmpf!" she pouts as she gave me the wet cloth.
"as if there is something to see there" she added. I AM A FOUR YEARS OLD CHILD MOTHER WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?! DO YOU WANT TO SEE A MONSTEROUS SIZE ON A MERE FOUR YEAR OLD?
"s-sorry mom" i acted a little bit childish since my mother would be sad.
"okay" my mother said then kissed me in my forehead.
"and also, after that get ready, we will have something to talk about." my father said.
"what is it father?" i said because i have no clue on what will happen next.
"its just a small family meeting" he replied.
"okay father."

Arthurs PoV
We are now in sitting this wooden round table in our dining area. The place is your typical commoners dining area, its not that small but its okay for us since there are only 3 people living in this house. We ate our dinner first before starting the meeting my father was talking about.
After our dinner the meeting began.
"honey, i would like to send my son in to capitals academy" my father started the meeting.
"i refuse, are you out of your head troy?! he's only four year old and people in the academy are all teen agers! TEENAGERS!. And you call arthur "my son", he's also my son." my mother countered my fathers opinion.
"But he opened his core at a very young age, wouldn't that be the right decision a parent would take?" he said.
"its the right decision but HE IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD TROY! FOUR YEARS OLD!, and if he will study in the academy wouldn't he move in the capital so he can be near at his school." my mother said.
"i know, thats why im gonna take arthur in the capital and enroll him there" my father said.
"BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?! ARE YOU GONNA LEAVE ME HERE ALONE?!" my mother said.
"its not like that" my father said.
"why dont we move all together" i said.
a moment of silence came after i said those words. What is it?! did i just said something wrong?!
"ehemm, ofcourse we will move all together. WE are a family afterall" my mother said. But why did she said WE louder?
"ofcourse, ofcourse, we have forgotten that arthur's decision is what matter the most." my father said, wait did they seriously just forget about me?
"Arthur you wont go to school right? you will stay here with mommy right?" my mother said as she holds my hands.
"that's cheating genna" father said.
"whats cheating? is there something wrong about a mother wanting to be with her son at all cost? hmpf!" she then pouts after saying that.
"but genna, its the future of my child" father said
"OUR CHILD, and he's too young to go to school!" mother said.
"he will go to the academy"
"he will stay here with me"
"no"
"yes"
And the battle continues to rage on. I need to make them halt and my decision matters the most anyways.
"father, mother. What if we move to the capital and i will enroll there if i became old enough?" i said. "and i would love to see the capital. Maybe i can train there with dad" i added.
"HA I WON!" Father shouted.
"NO, NO ONE WINS. ARTHUR SAID WE WILL MOVE THERE AND WE WILL STAY THERE UNTIL HE'S READY SO HE CAN ATTEND THE ACADEMY" My mother said.
"did arthur just resolved our issue" father said while staring at me, and my mother follows it.
"b-but how will we move" i said. "didn't we just rebuilt our home?" i asked.
"its okay i have the spyhx, they said they will go to the capital because they just finished a quest" father replied.
"you sure get ready things first before making a decision huh" my mother said.
"ofcourse i am me afterall" and then he laughs like a prideful man.
"creepy" mother whispered in my ears.
"hey i heard that."
"so when, will they depart?" mother asked.
"i think, three weeks from now on." father replied.
"thats too early." mother said.
"its a good thing that they will leave early, i have matters in capital too. A friend of mine needed a body guard for his auction house so i guess i will be working there too" father replied.
"hey wait, arent you making arthur as an excuse to just move to the capital?" mother cutely glares at father.
"he-HA-HA-HA, i am not" he said.
"he's really creepy" mother once again whispered in my ears.
"s-so its settled then" i said.
"yeah son, we will move to the capital." mother said.
"TO THE CAPITALLL!" father shouted.
"creepy" i said.
"hey that hurt me"
