Chapter 4. Serena's Conquest: Training(2)

The next morning arrived and when Lucas was sleeping, he felt that something was tickling his feet, he woke up and saw that his younger brother Arthur was the one who was tickling his feet.

Arthur said, " Good morning big brother. ".

Arthur finally started treating Lucas as a big brother. Lucas went to the mirror and saw that his face was full of doodles created by a black marker. He looked towards Arthur and Arthur started laughing and then ran away. Lucas followed him and both went to the hall. In the hall when their mother saw Lucas' face, she also started laughing. Ademar heard the commotion and came to check and after he saw Lucas' face, he also started laughing.

Lucas grabbed Arthur and created doodles on his face. Now both looked like a joker and then both went to wash their face but started playing with water. Their mother came and pulled both of their cheeks. After getting fresh, Lucas went for breakfast where he found Serena.

Serena asked, " Lord Lucas, why did you gave me all the rewards? ".

He answered, " Isn't that obvious? ", " You cleared ninety five percent of the monster palace, so you deserve it. You can go and buy yourself toys and weapons of your choice. ".

Rudolf said, " Lord Lucas, you are wrong here. Girls are not interested in toys and weapons, they will rather buy themself make up material and many kind of dresses. ".

Lucas got embarrassed and said, " I know! I was just joking. ".

Rudolf said, " Well then, it was one of the worst joke I ever heard.".

Lucas said while being embarrassed, " Shut up, Rudolf! ".

He then went for breakfast and after breakfast for a bath.

Serena and Rudolf were busy in household work.

Meanwhile,

An unknown voice said, " Master, the son of Arbiter Organization's chairman has returned. ".

Another unknown voice said, " Wait, you are kidding me, right? ".

" No, I am not. ".

" Did he got his Arbiter license and rank? ".

" Yes. He is AA-Rank. Quite a talented one. ".

" Then what are you standing here for? ", " We must get him into our guild. ".

" Oh, don't worry master. I have send him the invitation and the place for the meeting. I am waiting for his reply. ".

" Good. If we want to be the strongest guild in the world and spread our influence everywhere then we need talented folks like him. ".

Here, Lucas came out from the bath and saw that Serena was in his room.

He asked, " Is something the matter? ".

Serena replied, " Lord Lucas, the Shadow Reaper guild has send you an invitation and want to discuss to you about something. ".

Lucas said, " Oh, they must have send the address of the meeting place, right? ".

Serena replied, " Yes, lord Lucas. ".

" Okay, I will go and meet them. Until then you focus on your training. I am leaving Metal with you so you can train with him, okay? ".

" As you command, lord Lucas.".

Metal was the golem Lucas defeated yesterday and made his companion. He determined his gender and then gave him the name, Metal.

Lucas dressed himself. He was wearing a white plain shirt, black pant, black belt and black shoes and black socks and also a black tie. He got ready to go out and meet with the Shadow Reaper guild. The meeting was in a cafe which was very near to the house of Lucas. The name of the cafe was Cafè Americano And Te. When he went to the hall his mother asked, "Where are you going, son? ".

He replied, " I am just going out for a walk, mom. ".

His mother said, " Oh, then take care of yourself. ".

He gave a warm smile to his mother and went to the cafe.

Here, Serena was finished with household work and now was training with Metal in the garden of Grant Mansion.

She asked, " Um, how am I supposed to train with you? ".

Metal answered, " Just tell me what attributes you want to improve, I will help you with that. ".

She was startled to hear Metal talk because when she first encounter Metal, he did not say a word.

She said, " Um, I want to manipulate my power. I can create crystals but I want to create different kinds of weapons. ".

Metal understood and said, " Okay, it's simple. First you have to feel your power and then imagine the type of weapon you want to create and after that manipulate the shape of your power into that weapon. ".

She did as Metal said but was unable to feel her power.

Metal said, " It's okay. You will not learn it in a single try. You must concentrate and try until you master it. ".

Meanwhile, Lucas arrived at the cafe. The agents of the Shadow Reaper recognized him and reached to him and said, " Hello, sir Lucas. We are here on the behalf of Shadow Reaper and the vice-master of the guild is also with us. Let us take you to the table. ".

They accompanied Lucas to the table where the vice-master of the Shadow Reaper was sitting.

The vice-master saw Lucas and greeted him. Lucas did the same.

The vice-master said, " I am very grateful to meet you and glad that you returned alive safely. ".

Lucas replied, " Oh, same here. ".

The vice-master continued, " My name is Vigor Lance. I am here on behalf of my guild and we want to recruit you. ".

Lucas said, " Thanks for coming and asking me to join your guild, Mr. Lance. But I have no intention of joining any guild, specially big guilds as yours. ".

The vice-master was disappointed because he thought that Lucas won't deny and accept the invitation but now the exact opposite happened.

The vice-master didn't give up and started telling him the faculties and the privileges Lucas would get after joining the Shadow Reaper guild, " Oh, please don't refuse the invitation this early, first let me tell you all the faculties and privileges you will get after joining our guild. ".

Lucas was carefully hearing every word he said because Lucas wanted to make his guild a home like place for all the Arbiters who would join it in future.

The vice-master said, " After joining our guild, you will not have to worry about money, fame and power. We pay a high salery to talents like you, mr. Lucas. Our guild currently is among the most reputated and strongest guild in the world. We have our own training ground, gym, cafeteria, hospitals and equipment shop for our guild members. You can purchase any weapon and armor and artifacts in our equipment shop. We also provide many kinds of services to our guild members. We also provide hundred percent safety to our guild members and till now not even a single member of our guild has died in any monster place. I should not say this to you as you are just twelve but we also have female members in our guild and you won't have to worry about your love life their. ".

Before the Vigor could continue, Lucas stood up and said, " Mr. Lance, I have no intention of joining your guild. Thank you for your time and the invitation but I refuse it. ".

After finishing his sentence, he went out of the cafe. Vigor tried to stop him but he didn't listen to him and only ignored.

Here, Serena was now finally able to manipulate her power but only into small weapons such as arrows, knifes and daggers. She was able to create only axe as a big weapon.

Metal said, " Okay, now let's have a friendly duel. Our duel will not end until you defeat me, lady Serena. ".

Serena had no choice but to accept whatever Metal said because she wanted to grow stronger.

When she was learning to manipulate her power, she was successfully able to increase the amount of power she can use and now she was able to summon an axe, a shield and 4 daggers which were floating in the air.

Metal said, " You can attack on me first. ".

Serena charged at Metal and attack and Metal tank it easily. Metal swinged his right hand short sword on Serena but Serena blocked it using her shield and then tried to attack Metal with the axe again but Metal blocked it using his left hand short sword. Metal pushed Serena back and then punched her and Serena couldn't dodge it and got smashed into the wall behind her.

Metal had no intention of killing her but he was also not going to stop until Serena defeats him and that was the order of Lucas.

Meanwhile, Lucas went to a equipment shop because he wanted to purchase a new weapon for him. While fighting Metal, Lucas' dual sword developed crack and now they were useless. Lucas was searching for another dual sword and asked his father and his father told him about this shop.

The name of the shop was, The Enchanté Armas. He entered the shop and was greeted by one of the employee of the shop.

The employee asked, " What kind of weapon do you want sir? ".

Lucas replied, " I want dual swords but I would also like to check other kinds of weapons such as a big battle axe. ".

The employee answered, " Oh, I see. We have brand new and very sharp dual swords and battle axes, sir. Let me show you. ".

The employee took Lucas so the room of the dual swords and also to the battle axes. Lucas came inside the shop to buy himself dual swords but one battle axe caught his eyes.

He asked, " What are the attributes of this battle axe and how much does it cost and all the abilities? ".

The employee answered, " Sir, you really have a good eye. This battle axe was created by the blood, scales, fangs, teeth and bones of the Voltaris, the lighting dragon and the first dragon species ever to be discovered inside a monster place. This battle axe have the attribute of lighting and it's ability is very insane. No matter the distance, this battle axe will return to it's owner and is suitable for long range, mid range and close range. This battle axe can be used to define perfection. It also provides a lighting armor to it's owner and it's the sharpest weapon we have in our shop. ".

Lucas asked if he can hold the battle axe and the employee allowed. The battle axe was 1.7 meter long and at the end of the pole of the battle axe was it's head. The head was only at one side like normal axes but it was in curve shape. The battle axe had design of dragon scales and at the top of the battle axe, it looked like the eye of the dragon. When he hold the battle axe, he felt like an insane presence was staring at him. He could feel the will of Voltaris.

He asked, "Does this battle axe have any name? ".

The employee answered, " Yes sir, it's name is Volt. ".

Lucas liked the name and the battle axe and asked it's price.

The employee and answered, " It costs two million dollars but after discount it will be one million and seven hundred thousand dollars, sir. ".

Lucas was the eldest son of the chairman of the Arbiter Organization, so the money was not a problem for him. He had the credit card of his father. He purchased the battle axe and went back to his home. He really liked the battle axe.

He reached home and saw that Serena was laying on the garden like a dead body. She was tired, very tired after training.

Lucas asked Metal, " What happened to her? ".

Metal replied, " Nothing master, she passed out due to fatigue but she was successful in manipulating her power into different kinds of weapon and was able to do it in tenth of a second. ".

She had minor injuries and couple of wounds too.

Lucas replied, " Oh, that's amazing. So it was all successful. ".

" Yes master. ".

He asked, " Metal, I just purchased a battle axe and I want to try it. Why don't you, Varulf and Bogeyman have a friendly battle with me because I want to try it. ".

Metal replied, " Yes master. ".

But before starting the battle, Lucas carried Serena to her room, put her on the bed and let her sleep and then came back to the ground. It was already evening. He summoned Varulf and Bogeyman and now was ready for a friendly battle against Metal, Varulf and Bogeyman.
