Chapter 5 – Rivals

After making a scene at the pet shop or should I say the magical beast shop. My mother was finally finish pointing out to my father why an eight year old cannot be trusted to look after a Four Winged Lion.

Heck me and the shop owner who I later know was called Derek was not able to escape mother’s hellish lecture and by the end of it Father and Derek was able to recite heart by heart the reasons why an eight year old child is not allowed a pet especially if it’s a ferocious Four Winged Lion.

I have now realised the true meaning of the saying ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’. Because my mother might be small and cute but she is hella scary. When she’s angry the word cute truly does not exist in her vocabulary. 

You can only see a fire breathing dragon convincing you that suicide is a good idea.

Well enough rant from yours truly.

We are now in a restaurant and I am personally enjoying a 6 star dish made by the best chef in the restaurant. I can honestly say that the guy who cooked this deserves a medal.

The shrimp is just exquisite and the chicken is scrumptious.

“Ryouma I didn’t expect to see you here” bellowed an overly muscular man.

Father turned around and I could see a smile etched in his face. Must be one of his pals I surmised and kept eating. Before I started digging in, I notice a boy beside his father.

He’s hair was blonde and from what I can tell he might just be slightly taller than me. I didn’t notice him before he’s father garners quite the presence. He draws attention to himself with his sheer bulk alone.

I’m guessing that boy is his son because they look alike. They have the same blonde hair and blue eyes. Heck this guy is starting to show to be developing some muscles.

“Drake!!” my father hollered back.

“I didn’t know you were back”

“Yeah I just got back today and were straying here for good this time.” answered Drake.

My father nodded then turned to me. “This is my brat Vectre.” He introduced.

I waved back at the man called Drake.

“Vectre that is Drake Dragon from the Dragon family. He’s one of the best warrior second only to me.”

“HEYY!! What do you mean second only to you, you think you’re stronger than me muscle head!!!” called out Drake.

Laughing out loud “Ofcourse I am Ogredrake” my father jested.

“Why don’t we find out” smirked Drake.

“You’re on” replied father immediately. 

Drawing out his sword and Drake also draws his and both have terrifying smile on their faces.

I look towards my mom, face full of questions. Like what the fuck is going on.

Mother just smiled.

“Ignore them they’re always like that.” She casually said and went back on sipping her beverage in a calm manner while all the customers were panicking and were wondering whether to get the fuck out of the building or not.

Honestly I don’t blame them. The amount of blood lust and killing intent their displaying is downright terrifying.

The blonde boy just ignored them and sat on a nearby chair.

I met his eyes and just nod at him and he nods back.

Having lost my appetite because of the event that transpired just a few minutes ago I walked towards the blonde kid.

“Do you want to play around the park” I asked him.

“Okay. Your dad and my dad are butting heads outside, so why not?” he answered me.

Having noticed my father and Drake are gone I looked around for them but I can’t see them. They must have gone to spar in the training field just outside of the city.

We both walked briskly to the parked while a few guards and Astrea my maid followed us. 

Mother must have ordered the guards to keep an eye on us. Astrea would come regardless of mother’s orders because she is my personal maid, it’s her job to take care of me and to make sure no harm comes to me.

Having arrived at the park I suddenly remembered that I didn’t know the name of my new friend.

“What’s your name?” I suddenly asked him.

“Dean. Dean Dragon” he told me while putting out his hand in a gesture for a hand shake.

“Vectre Azure” I replied while shaking his hand.

Looking around the park I see a lot kids similar to my age running around and some playing in the huge lake which in the middle of the park.

“Want to go stone skipping” I asked

.

“Stone skipping?” Dean asked.

“Come on I’ll show you”

I dragged Dean closer to the lake. I then picked up a couple of stones. I turned back to look at him.

“Watch” 

Using my dominant hand, I fling the stone sideways allowing it to skip four times in the water.

“That’s awesome. Let me try.”

Giving him one stone. Dean copied what I did earlier and manage to skip the stone five times in his first go.

He then smiled cheekily at me.

“HAHAHA I bet you can’t beat that”

Smirking “We’ll see” I told him.

Circulating my internal mana towards my right hand. I conjured the Giant’s gloves that increases my strength by a ton.

Feeling the sudden burst of strength made me excited. I got ready to throw the small stone, concentrating all my strength for this one throw.

Feeling myself ready. I flung the stone and what happened next was beyond my calculation.

The stone didn’t skip, instead the stone split the lake apart like it was Moses and hit the bottom of the lake resulting in an explosion.

Shards of stones were scattered everywhere. 

And I stood still shock and absolutely horrified because my Mom’s is going to fuck me royally and my dad might probably too.

I literally just destroyed the lake. 

There is now a huge gaping manhole in the middle and the lake has now shrunk.

It’s not even a lake anymore. I turned it into a puddle.

I can feel myself shaking in terror.

The people nearby are now panicking and shouting and running everywhere.

My maid Astrea is looking at me in shock. Her mouth is forming the letter ‘0’.

As if she can’t believe what’s happening.
