Clara made a move

The two didn't move, they stayed on their position, looking intently at one another. Their muscles at taut, ready to launch an attack, no one dared to breath.

Diana pulled her mothers sleeves and asked "Mother why is father and brother not yet starting their spar?"

"It already has begun," she smiling said

""the moment your father and brother went into battle position, the battle has begun." Alfred who just came answered his granddaughter 'to think that John has reached this level of concentration, he is now a fully pledged warrior on the same caliber as Jonathan' he thought

Elise and Eleanor felt the pressure building up, they could feel their sweats dripping from their forehead and back. Claire noticed the twins and asked "sisters why are you very stiff, aren't they still not fighting"

"Its hard to explain, but among masters who face each other, there is a state in which they would feel each others aura and battle out with it, currently they are battling using their aura, trying to over power each other" Elise tried to explain

The other ladies, though they have high cultivation bases they still lack the battle experience hence they are clueless about what is currently happening. They gasp in shock upon hearing Elise's explanation, even if they don't fully understand, they knew that John is at this level of mastery the same as the king.

Jonathan smiled and praised his son without holding back "trully the son of mine, even at a tender age of seventeen, your aura is no weaker than mine"

"You praised me so much father" John replied in modesty

Then Jonathan, made the first move and flashed in front of his son, he is so fast that the other ladies were not able to follow his movements. John pulled his blade from it's scabbard, making a horizontal slash, that is so fast that they could only feel the wind blast from the contact of the gloves and blade.

Diane and Alfred clapped their hands in excitement, though they moved very fast everything is clear in their eyes. This is no longer a spar between a father and child, where Jonathan needs to hold back his strength, but a battle between equals.

Though John still lacks the comprehension of laws, his battle prowess is now almost at the same level with Jonathan. The two faced each other and made more than a hundred exchanges in one breath. It's very fast, sonic boom can be heard with their every move. Each slash of Johns blade would leave wind blades behind, while Jonathans punches would create vacuum, and create waves of vibration to the surrounding space.

John distanced himself from Jonathan and took out destroyer, firing numerous bullets at once. Each attack would slice through the space and target Jonathan. As if the bullets have eyes, each bullet would follow Jonathan and explode upon impact. This gave Jonathan a shock, he never expected this kind of attack from John.

The audience was surprised as well, they were enlightened by Johns ingenious attacks. The two battled for ten minutes and John recalled his weapons and ended the match.

Jonathan happily tapped his shoulders "you've become stronger, tomorrow we shall spar once more"

Then the father and son walked side by side to where the girls are, John is just one head shorter than Jonathan who is around eight feet tall. The girls looked at him with eyes burning with intense desire.

John didnt mind how the girls looked at him, he is very composed and steady.

He looked at the twins "did the two of you sleep well?" then he grinned

Elise looked down on her feet her face burning in embarassment. Eleanor, crossed her arms on her chest, her face is blushing but tried to maintain a strong look.

"Hahaha... Very well" then he went to his sister and mother, "brother! You are so cool!"

"Am I? Father and mother are more amazing than I am." he honestly replied

"No! Brother is more amazing" she said with certainty

"Ladies you all look beautiful today" he greeted the four women

Though the girls knew that it's a normal greeting, being praised by the man they have affection for, made their hearts race. His gentle smile and the attention he shows, made their knees soft like jelly.

The family had a sumptuous meal, Diana sat on her brother's lap enjoying the meal while she is personally being fed by her brother.

The four girls, throw a glimpse at John, but he maintained his indifference and enjoyed his bonding with his sister.

The twins looked at their man, with a burning passion, but they couldn't get to look straight at him. Last night had been wild, it's the very first time they spent an intimate moment with John and they have done many things they detest before. However last night they acted like a whore, as if they were fed with aphrodisiac.

Recalling their uncontrolled moans and panting, the excessive feeling of ecstasy, the twins felt their lower half getting wet. They felt more embarrassed as they were having these perverted thoughts so early in the morning.

The girls notice the twins passionate stares and the blush on their cheeks, they felt jealousy, imagining themselves hugging kissing and doing all kinds of intimate things with the prince.

However knowing that John wanted to know them and wanted a relationship based on love and not an agreement-based relationship. They felt warm in their hearts, but at the same time disappointed

Clara the most silent of the four girls spoke to John "John... All six of our friends wasn't able to come, they are still training under grandfather," she did her best to gather the courage to speak with him.

"I always thought that you hated your fiance for leaving the team, not wanting to talk to me?" he jokingly asked

Her cheeks, ears and neck are now red, she felt very shy. This is too much for her heart to handle, her face is burning hot. Ever since the time John left their team, they all blamed themselves for their weakness.

"How... Could... We blame you, it's very clear that we are too weak" she honestly replied

John smiled as he heard Claras nervous reply.

Alfred took them under his wing and trained them even harder than before. They all gritted their teeth and persevered. They couldn't reach Johns's level but they wanted to at least not be left too far behind, not to be a burden for him.

John loved Clara's personality, she is not the proactive type, she is shy, silent, but has a very warm personality. Physically she is very beautiful and attractive not falling behind the twins, even if she lacks the maturity the twins possess her body is not too far behind.

The other three are surprised when they heard John and Clara's conversation, it's the first time they learned of this. Clara never took the initiative to say anything. But when they talk about John, there is a strong sense of respect and admiration, they felt like she idolized him or even worships the prince. The other ladies felt that she knew the prince for a long time.

The ladies tried to ask the reason for her intense admiration. But they all still failed in the process, Clara is tight-lipped.

They now felt a sense of urgency, everyone is getting ahead of them, the silent Clara had a very deep bond with the prince and even became his friend and teammate.

"Don't look down on Clara, she is a great strategist, after you left she assumed your position as the teams leader. Under her leadership they never failed a mission I assigned her and there is no casualties as well" Alfred proudly told his grandson

John felt happy for them, he knew that his grandfather is best at training generals, they are probably brought to the frontlines for actual training in the field.

Jonathan and Diane is happily watching their son and fiancee's. The way their son is, they have no worries for the future. Even if they are to retire, they are confident that their son is capable of carrying all the responsibilities of a king.

Diane didn't worry about his wives, she had two incredibly talented daughter in laws, the other four will certainly be part of her sons harem, and are all talented as well. She didn't find or accept anymore fiancee's for her son, even if he won't complain she wanted John to choose his partners.

"Let's see how much you progressed these past few years"

Clara is shocked, 'does he want to spar with me?' but she felt excited thinking.

John held Diana by her waist and put her down "sister, show big brother your progress, join your sister Clara and spar with me, if you could make me move from this spot, its considered my loss"

Diana excitedly hopped to Clara's side, she took out two cute hand guns. Since she is still weak in her metal manipulation, so John taught her the usual way of using a gun with premade bullets. In his five years of recovery, inside his soul sea, John trained Diana by the way of how he used to train on earth, teaching her quick draw, sniping and using guns to do sneak attacks. To his surprise his sister has the same talents and affinity to guns like their mother.

He deliberately asked her to hide her skills even to their parents, but he decided to show it to everyone.

"Dont hold back anything" then he sent a soul transmission, 'don't use your other elements, remember it's better to always keep your trump cards, it can save your life by taking your enemy by surprise.' the little girl nodded her head, to her nothing is more reliable than her brothers advise.

Clara maintained her distance, john took out destroyer and prepared for battle. To everyones surprise, diana held her guns on each hands and placed two black space ring on her thumbs. After which she looked at her brother with great focus.

Clara is currently using a bow and arrow, she is not yet able to have her weapon remodelled.

Diana leaped to johns front, and fired ten rapid shots, jonathan and Diane were shocked by Dianas sudden change, and looked at her with great interest. Though they knew that John is training her frequently but this is the first time she fought like this, even during sparing matches she would usually not be this aggressive.

Her way of using her guns looks very beautiful as if dancing. Diana combined her gun movements with her hand-to-hand combat, this is a gun kata specially made for her by John. Every move is like a combo, not giving the target any room to maneuver.

Combination of fist, kicks and bullets would come to target John. She grinned widely and took out two one foot choppers and skillfully attached it to her guns.

Her attacks became more aggressive, John stood I. His spot blocking and partying her attacks not moving an inch from his spot. What shocked the couple is Diana's fighting style, there are little to no openings in her, her attacks never stops, she never stopped firing her guns, if it were any warrior on the gold level, even earth and sky level would not gain any advantage against her.

She always remember her brothers advice, "diana the best defence is a strong offence!"

Diana, slide back very fast, not forgetting to fire her bullets at John. She grinned widely showing her cute canine. Then suddenly the sky turned dark, as hundreds of thousands of arrows fell from the sky.

John stood on his place not moving he just smiled he let the arrows fall,

"Clang"

Sounds of metal coaching can be heard as the arrows touched his body.

Under the cover of the arrows, Diana launch sneak attacks on John. Clara joined the fight and helped Diana, as if they rehearsed, the two moved in synchronized manner. Using the arrows the two used their metal element control to manipulate the metallic arrows and attack him more aggressively. Under their cooperation, John is happy with their progress.

Clara made a bold move and hugged John. Diana who was behind her shot all her bullets at Diana. John shook his head then, he deliberately moved from his spot, and surrendered to his loss.

"My baby sister improved alot" he praised Diana, the girls smiled widely and snuggled in her brothers chest"

"I did improve but if you didnt move on your own, both sister clara and i would loose eventually." Then she stuck out her tongue.

Jonathan and Diane heard their youngest expose her brother, they knew that even if she is mischievous, she has a very keen mind.

He looked at Clara and praised "You did very well, if it were on the battlefield your strategy would have obliterated the enemy. Using a general as a bait is indeed a perfect way to distract your enemies, but after clearing out the pawns, immediately recall all units and retreat. A perfect guerilla tactic.

You used metallic arrows first to distract the enemy and made the perfect cover for Dianas a sneak attack. The ingenious way of using the fallen arrows to mount attacks from all directions is a smart but risky move,

If you can use it why can't others not do the same? And Next time don't use risky tactics that could endanger your life" then he shook his head

Clara's body turned stiff, she could feel Johns concern from his words. Her heartfelt sweet, he did care for me. She giggled, the designed by her that way because she wanted to know Johns reaction if she ever used a suicidal tactic. She is not disappointed at all.

Diane smiled at Clara's tactic, she knew that Clara deliberately made the tactic to check on Johns reaction. Her giggling made it all clear to Diane. She could on shake her head.
