Corrosion control Part 1

Sheila was shocked by what she had just heard and said "You became a part of the armed forces without using your clan name?"

Harold gave an embarrassing smile and said "I didn't want my success to being because of my last name so I enrolled without a backer. Though my father made sure that no one crossed the line, I was only bullied a little verbally."

Anya stopped Harold from reminiscing further and said "Let's talk about that later. The kids must have finished their physical training by now. So now that it's decided that Blake will join the junior academy with Simon and Arya, when should we go there?"

Harold rested his chin on his hand as he thought for a few seconds. After that, he looked at the 2 ladies in front of him and said " Blake's training is going great. Today most probably he will achieve control over the corrosion properties of his soul spirit. He still isn't able to disperse the smoke and look at his real soul spirit but I don't think there is any hurry to do that. We can go tomorrow if you want."

Anya looked at Sheila as at the end of the day it was her decision. She said "Sheila there is no hurry so take your time. The enrollment closes in 15 days. So maybe you can wait for John to come back."

Sheila signaled with her hand casually indicating that it was no problem and said "I don't think that it will be necessary. He wanted Blake to go to a junior academy and then decide on his path on his own. He said that Blake's parents are still alive so it's his journey so it's his decision as to which path he will choose."

Hearing that Blake's parents are still alive Anya and Harold both felt bad and Anya said "I don't know what made Blake's mom leave him outside an orphanage but I can only imagine how much sorrow she must have gone through all these years." Even though Anya was a strong-minded person but when it comes to being a mother she can't control her emotions.

Sheila took Anya's hand in hand and said "I will let John know my decision over the communicator today. Tomorrow Mary is coming to the city to get some supplies so we all can go to the academy and roam around the city the rest of the day. It's been a while since I have gone shopping."

As the word Shopping entered Anya's ears she quickly opened her eyes wide and said "Yes we can go shopping the rest of the day. You, me and, sister Mary, I have so many places to show you and so many dresses to try." She then looked at her husband and said in a cold tone "Harry you better get Blake to control the corrosion property of his soul spirit or else..."

She didn't need to say the rest as Harold understood and gulped his saliva. The three adults talked for a while and left the house. As they reached the equipment room they saw that Kevin and Maria were looking at the kids' reports and the kids were laughing and giggling around.

Harold walked toward Kevin and Maria and asked "How is the report of these 3 little devils?"

Maria chuckled hearing that and said "Simon's progress is as we expected. Stable and steady growth. Arya is a battle maniac and she is more focused on her physical training. It would be good if both of them are able to use their soul spirit like normal weapons skillfully. It will increase their overall prowess."

Kevin looked at Maria and then at Harold and said " Though it will include some training exercises used by knights, nowadays it is common for soul masters to focus on their physical strength and martial arts."

Harold looked at his kids who were talking to their mother, Blake, and Sheila, and then looked back at Kevin and Maria as he said "Strength is strength it doesn't matter if it's attained by techniques of knights or soul masters. From this year both academies will work together so maybe this is a good thing. Now, what about Blake?"

Kevin and Maria looked at each other and hesitated for a second when Kevin stretched out his hand holding a sheet of paper. Harold frowned and took the paper in his own hand and started reading it. As he was reading his frown became more severe until fire erupted from his hand and the paper burned instantly. Even ash wasn't left of it.

Maria was shocked to see this but Kevin expected it to happen. He looked at Harold and said " Blake's physical condition is improving faster than we expected but mana has started entering into his brain and his brain activity has almost doubled in the past month. I do not see any sign of mana poisoning but the neurons in his brain have become more active."

'I didn't expect this to happen so fast. Even though this can be counted as a great passive skill but for a 6-year-old this could be the creation of a cold-blooded killer.' Harold thought.

He then looked at Kevin and said "Delete any records of those scans and monitor Blake's behavior but don't go looking for any changes."

Kevin and Maria had a serious expressions and quickly replied "YES SIR". They knew this was an order which needed to be followed to the last letter and also a secret of the Blaze family that must never leave their mouths.

Harold walked toward the kids and the 2 ladies and said "Blake let's go to the training ground. If your training is successful today then tomorrow we can all go touring the city and then for the next two months you can train with Arya and Simon."

The kids got excited hearing this, especially Arya who wanted to fight Blake very badly as her whip and Blake's purple rope looked the same.
