---TIMESKIP 1/3---

Fourteen years have passed ever since Alaric and the Kenway family arrived at Bristol, England. 

Alaric and Edward were five years old when they got in the city with so many things happening. After the following years? Not many things happened as Alaric focused on the things he truly cared about.

The morning after the night he returned to the Penn Estate after testing his new powers, Alaric managed to convince the Kenway family drink a glass of water but never told them that it had a drop of his blood when he secretly activated Sage Mode.

No one really got bothered so they drank their glass, they only thought that Alaric was kind enough to care for their thirst.

Nobody even noticed what happened to their bodies aside from Eleanor who no longer coughed and could now do her normal activities.

Anyways...

Here's how everything went.

YEAR 1699 (Months after they arrived, they arrived late summer.)

The Kenway family received education from Alaric, with the purpose of creating their new farm. Alaric taught them on how to add, subtract, multiply and divide... basic mathematics. 

They already knew these types of counting, but Alaric taught them how to do it faster and easier.

Eleanor and Linette were his best students academically, Edward was next, then came Bernard and Leonard who only made Alaric shook his head in playful disappointment.

They primarily asked where gained this knowledge from and he reasoned that he made some of it up and Penn taught him most of what he knew. They doubted his abilities in this area at first but eventually thought of him as a god-like scholar when he showed off his abilities.

Alaric also taught them about how to cultivate different kinds of crops through his [Noragakure Crop Cultivation], making Bernard and Leonard laugh at first. However, when Alaric drew rare crops and described them with precise detail on what to do and what not to do, they could only listen and nod their heads. 

Eleanor and Linette were still the ones to retain the full knowledge of everything he discussed. Edward? Heh, he skipped class.

He discussed with them and brain-stormed the crops that were high and low in demand depending the cities and countries. They discussed with themselves regarding the import of seeds and exportation of crop outputs.

Alaric didn't forget to teach them how to dry crops like Tabacco Leaves efficiently, saying that most tabaco leaves sell less due to low quality.

They did all those but Alaric never forgot something so important.

Training.

That was all that happened between Alaric, Thulani and Reuben. 

After acquiring [Madara Uchiha's Visionary Tactics], Alaric not only gained the knowledge of how to train the former slave and the bald kid, he also gained the knowledge on how to train himself. 

Reuben's fighting style was what you could call a true Assassin, using his daggers to swiftly target vital spots. Thulani on the other hand was what you call a tank, his strength was there yet his speed was nowhere. The former slave would win at hand-to-hand combat most of the time, but would lose in melee weapons every time.

Seeing their talents, Alaric could only smile at their little rivalry. 

There was also one time where Reuben got a little cocky, seeking to fight Alaric, only for him to end up unconscious by a slap on the jaw.

Thulani, who witnessed this, placed a promise on his heart not to anger Alaric. He couldn't even defeat Reuben, how much more Alaric, who only moved one hand one time.

Alaric never slacked in his training... refining Madara's Taijutsu to suit his body, mastering every weapon he touched using [Mangetsu's Mastery Over Weapons], doing lots of chakra control exercises.

He couldn't say he mastered all the things he bought, especially the Wood Release, Swift Release and the Phoenix Sage.

His Wood Release always left him panting after restoring few trees he cut despite having Hashirama's chakra.

Swift Release always leave a huge toll on his body despite Hashirama's Physique. And Phoenix Sage Mode activates instantaneously but deactivates on its own after half an hour.

He didn't bother buying Jutsus for the normal elemental releases as he didn't have enemies in this world that Jutsus for him to counter. Although there were Isu's... enough 'bout that.

The biggest factor for his slow progress was due to his small body, but that did not deter him as he was already stronger than most people. Most, because there was one person that was still alive in this period who had the blessing of the Gods.

Alaric always took a bath at morning and at night, only asking Sebastian's help when discarding the water. A bottle of [Shampoo + Conditioner] and [1L Liquid Bathing Soap] would last him a month.

His skin and hair became so smooth even for his age, especially during this period.

Everyone within the estate would always tease him for having such feminine skin, expecting a reaction out of him, although he didn't care. 'People in the modern age paid millions to achieve this kind of skin, and I'm just simply taking a bath.'

[Water (200 L)(730x) - £24 6s. 8d.]

[Shampoo + Conditioner Bottle 500ml (12x) - £75]

[Liquid Bathing Soap Bottle 1L (12x) - £75]

[- £174 6s. 8d.]

[Current Balance: £9,956 18s. 4d.](318,621R)

Business-wise? Hehe.

The Royal Palace decided to order two thousand pieces of Celestial Salve, making Alaric shocked at first but accepted Penn's news and immediately produced two thousand of them. 

Penn also ordered another two thousand before he journeyed to Pennsylvania due to the craze of the Celestial Salve.

[Hyuga Clan Secret Ointment (4,000) - £250 0s. 0d.]

[- £250 0s. 0d.]

[Current Balance: £9,706 18s. 4d.](310,621R)

Penn never asked how Alaric could procure something so miraculous overnight, but Alaric could sense the curiosity. 

However, he wouldn't tell anyone, no matter what.

If William Penn was going to turn on him or gets greedy with Alaric's abilities, the latter would leave. Although he would kill the Quaker if push comes to shove. 'Good thing he's a nice guy, and a fair businessman... not a part of the Templars Order too.'

Anyways, Penn immediately gave Alaric the money after seeing the products.

[Hyuga Clan Secret Ointment (4,000) - £250 0s. 0d.]

[+ £60,000]

[Current Balance: £70,131 13s. 4d.](2,244,213R)

With all this money, Alaric could buy whatever he wanted. Both from the world and System.

However, what he needed to do was to hone what he had and give more education to his family.

William Penn even asked Alaric what he would do with that money as the youngest Kenway was already very rich, now belonging to the 1%. But Alaric only shook his head in reply while saying, "I'm still a child, I can't spend my money willy-nilly. I have my own plans, but soon, I'll know more of what to do."

This reply only made Penn chuckle as he thought of Alaric as the one who knows everything, 'How interesting.'
