I'll Become Stronger

Arriving on the scene, Hassan and Alex both frantically act to remove the debris around, digging and searching for any sign of life and movement.

'please kids, don't go die on me. Please , Please be safe'

those were the prayer that was continually being chanted inside their heart.

At this moment, trap under the debris of the fallen wall and building, Danial still had a sliver of consciousness, hearing his dad anxious shout, he tried to response but he was too weak to even utter a single noise.

beside him, Charlotte was already fall unconscious, gripping the little girl hand tightly he used every last amount of strength inside his small body and shout as loudly as he can.

yet those shout was blocked by the huge chunk of stone above him. In this kind of situation where oxygen and air is very scarce, there is a high possibilities the children will die because lack of it, plus with that shout earlier, Danial did consume more air than necessary which quickened the loss of oxygen inside.

'crap this is dangerous! My chest feels hurt, its very hard to breath and Charlotte was also affected.'

3 hour after then

The adults are still frantically trying to dig around without a rest. In their heart, they know the more the time it takes the lesser the chance of the kids alive.

Under the debris, Danial who had hold out till this moment finally could not take it anymore.

'am I going to die like this??' with blurry sight, suddenly he saw bluish color glow not far from him.

'that's.......the azure dragon staff!' reaching the wooden stick with all his might , Danial beg in his heart 'please azure dragon if you are 1 of the mythical beast, show your might and please save us, you can't possibly abandon your descendent here can you?'

suddenly a sphere shape forming around them, and lift them up above. All the obstacle obstruct them was being blast by the sphere shield. On the outside sensing the movement, Hassan and Alex rush to the spot.

A lot of different kind of emotion overwhelming them at this moment, happiness, joy, frustration, shock but that's all not important. Currently floating inside the sphere like bubble shield was their children that they cherish the most and that is what really matter. A huge burden finally relief from their heart at this moment.

Danial POV

When I open my eyes, I was inside this weird... pod? well it look somehow the same as the sci-fi sleeping pod which you can find inside manga or novel, where the mc will use it to recover from injury.

so am I currently in sleeping pod? just how serious my injuries to be inside this thing? I tried to knock on the glass shield on top of me.

hearing my knocking sound, a woman look at me before she start to cry and urge the maid beside her to open the pod.

"MY SON, MY SON!!! mom was so worried about you! I don't know what to do if you....."

she could not finish her word before a stream of tears falling down.

I look at her eyes which was swollen showing the sign of crying and lack of sleep, her frail body and the less appetite she have. My heart ache looking at my mom when i think she refuse to eat nor sleep just to make sure her son well.

"mom.... I ...I " however before I finish my word.

"its ok you must be hungry, mom will cooks for you"

the maid was concern for her because of her condition, she definitely need more rest than me, yet.....

tears to start swell in my eyes, I suddenly remember when dad was in the hospital, mom tried her hardest to be cheerful to not cause any worries. No matter what, she will not let me feel sad and alone. For someone like me, she endure everything so that her son can always be better.

"THANK YOU MOM!" even with tears welling my eyes, I feel happy at this moment so I smile and thanks my mom.

...............................................

Inside the meeting room, Alex and Hassan was currently discussing the information they got from interrogating the man that fought with Danial before.

In the first place, Danial had never any intention of killing his enemies, thus the azure dragon staff response to it and only stop the attack. However the force from the clash was so strong that cause an unexpected explosion in the midst of battle.

"so what do you think about the story that guy told, he said your son was the one controlling the staff and not my daughter how was that possible?"

"I don't know, I am confused too! That child since young was a little weird. He sometimes act like an adult and sometime act like a normal children, what's more is his ability to comprehend something is very high making its easy for him to adapt to any kind of situation.

I always train him to become a martial artist but i never teach him any related knowledge about magic!"

"your son may be a prodigies, plus it is the azure dragon staff we are talking about! It's not something anyone can use freely, the artifact had been passed down since thousand year of generation. If that guy was talking the truth then your son really awaken mana sense, it still on the early phase and he probably doesn't know to store or control mana yet but that's ok, i believe i can teach him.

It's just.. under normal circumstances no one can use the azure dragon staff without its permission."

" 'without its permission'? what do you mean"

" Hassan why went you put the blood on the your Kris, it started to change form? Isn't it because the Kris need to recognize you first before you can unleash it fully? However your Kris is still only a low grade artifact which anyone you recognize can use it, but the azure dragon staff is entirely different!! it has it own consciousness that even if the user permit someone to use it, the staff may not!"

"What are you trying to get from me by saying this?" He notice his friend was up to something

"Hassan your son may be able to be one of the candidate inheritor to inherit the mythical beast legacies! since it also your son, I can be relax when he is with Charlotte. Hassan I will not beat around, lent me your son for 2 years! I hope he can act as Charlotte comrade in the upcoming genius gathering."

"Comrade, couldn't you just ask the other nobles?" He want to continue but stop halfway when he remember how selfish those nobles were.

"Well you should know that the nobles can't be fully trusted, as one of the strongest duke in this country many coveted my authority and power. I will not ask this without returning the favor, I will train yours son in those 2 year and every basic knowledge that he miss from the school will also be taught as well"

Pondering about it, Hassan thought it was not a bad deal but he still decide to leave the choice to his son.

..............

the next day,

"I OBJECT! how can you send our son far away from us and for 2 years!!"

"Calm down Lili, I know you are angry but I didn't accept it. That decision is for Danial to make"

seeing his parent quarrelling, Danial just stay still inside the pod while pondering about what his dad explain to him earlier.

'if I choose to accept it, my path will split up from martial art to magic but if I refuse it who know how long will I able to practice magic by myself'

he then look at his parent, the genuine concern and worried they had for him made him become more resolute.

'I really don't want to experience that again! My power is still too weak and it seems like I'm not strong enough to protect them'

"mom its ok I will accept it"

Lili was shocked not expecting his son to readily accept it

"Danial, I know you are in rush to prove yourself but your father martial art is also very powerful, plus I can also help you meet your grandfather and train under him"

'grandfather?'

"its ok mom, I want to get strong so you don't have to worried about me anymore"

seeing his child smile Lili finally cave in and allow it under the condition that he needs to call them every month.

.................

inside a certain submarine!

A tense atmosphere can be feel in the surrounding. Inside the cabin was the 3 terrorist who manage to escape from the Dragonia family and in front of them was a handsome youth. Yet they only stand quietly without uttering any noise.

The youth look was the same age as Danial and Charlotte, he currently sitting casually in front the three.

" sigh' I already said Fred is useless, he is no use to this kind of mission"

"I am sorry lord !! please.... please just spare my lowly life"

seeing the leader of the invasion team bow his head, the young man indifferently said

"well whatever, at least we achieved the third goal which is to gather information, isn't that right miss Rita? I'm happy you decide to work with us and serve our goal"

Rita, Charlotte personal maid seems displeased.

"I only serve young mistress Charlotte and no one else!!"

"ah that's right! of course you are, after all you are the one who can change her fate"

an eerie smile plastered on the child face made the three terrorist subordinate shuddered.

"ah what an interesting plot! Let see how will they fare when I release that thing in the future ahahaha"

looking at the little child smiling and laughing so creepily, Rita could only pray in her heart for her young mistress.

'Young mistress, please be safe you must become strong before you met this guy or everyone from our family will lose their life.'
