Rexar, 19-year-old. First son of Ragna and Rose. As he stepped down from the carriage, he saw two excited figures readied to embrace him. "Father, mother, you don't need to pick me up." Said Rexar.
"Eh... see dear, told you we should've just waited at home." Said Ragna.
"Dear, you really don't understand a mother feeling." Said Rose.
"Ahaha, and this little one must be Rayne right?" Rexar laughed weakly while pushing Rayne's cheek. "Oh, where are Ruby and Raj?" Asked Rexar.
"Ruby is in the forest, training her fire magic. As for Raj, he is at home." Answered Rose.
"Haha, I wonder if he still remembers me or not." Said Rexar.
At the same time, in their mansion.
As Raj held a bottle of blue ink above his head, showing it so the whole world could see it. "Magic Ink get!" Said Raj while cueing victory pose. Ignoring the fact that it had become impossible to take a step in the study room.
"As expected from Mrs. Drowsy, she really has everything. But first thing first, Forch, Thro, Sfir, Push." As the chanting finished, things were blasted with raw kinetic force. Created just enough room for Raj to move around.
Without an understanding of what the letter meant, Raj drew the first picture shown. With precision, he moved the blue stained quill and drew a large circle filled with unknown runes on its side. Inside it, there was a heptagram star with three small circles intersecting on the middle. Three beast skulls carefully placed on each circle and seven black candles placed on the star side.
"Ignite." Raj lighted the first candle, the blue magic circle slowly turned black.
"Ignite." As the fourth candle burned, an odd odor filled the room, followed by black smoke coming out from the three circles.
With a big grin on his face, Raj burned the last candle. Soon after, papers, chairs, glass bottles, books, all were blown away by a gust of wind; smoke circling around and six glowing red eyes could be seen from the inside of the smoke.
With each step it took, its physique became clearer. Slime dripped, oozing great globs of phlegm from its mouths. Underneath the shadowy smoke, its muscles were thick but bones could be spiked out from its back like it had recently lost weight. Its three massive heads growled wildly to Raj, in which he saw the beast with sparkling eyes. "Cerberus!! I summoned Cerberus!!" He yelled at the beast.
The middle head, growled lowly while kept looking at Raj with its bloody red eyes. The right head barked loudly, showing its yellow teeth, that almost as sharp as a blade. And with no warning, the left head spewed fiery fire toward Raj.
"Oh!!! IT can use magic!!" Said Raj proudly. At ease he kicked the floor and moved slightly to the left, completely avoiding the Cerberus fiery breath, though as the result the wall and the floor were burned down. "Timeout! timeout! stop burning my house!!" Said Raj.
Ignoring Raj word, the other heads began to inhale and breathe out a large burst of fire to Raj. As he noticed evading the attack would only burn his house."Pyr, Dips, Ant, Sfir, Fire Ward." Raj created a sphere of magic force around him. The bluish invisible sphere absorbed the fire and slowly began to turn red.
Feeling that its fire breath couldn't break Raj shield. The Cerberus with a body almost as big as a cow leaped toward Raj.
"Zan, Orb, Thro, Dah, Ront, Air Cannon." A swirling ball of air formed in Raj's hand, which then be fired toward midair Cerberus, hitting the middle head and threw the Cerberus through the wall. "And Psai, Lift, Thro, Lob, Fren, Ayl, Psychokinesis." Raj continued by pointing his index finger toward Cerberus. Cerberus's body lifted into the air, following Raj's finger movement. Raj flung it across the room, slammed it to the floor, tossed it to the wall.
"Gahaha!! It's super effective!" Laughed like a maniac, Raj completely ignored the fact that he was the one that did more damage compared to Cerberus.
"Groaaaar!!!"
In mid-air, Cerberus raised a tremendous roar; breaking Raj's psychokinesis. The wound on its body slowly regenerated, the three-headed dog opening all of its mouths and created one green fireball. "What is that?!" Said Raj.
"Bind x3" Three different voices came from the door, all of Cerberus mouths were forcefully closed by chains along with this the green fireball was disappeared. Raj shifted his attention to the door and saw Maria along with the other two butlers hands were trembling as if they were using their muscle to close Cerberus mouth.

"Geh! Emma, Zack, protect young master! and someone sends a message to Lord Ragna." Said Maria.
As the young maid and the guard moved in front of Raj, each equipped with a whip and a tower shield. "Wait! I don't need a protection!" Raj protested to them.
The bounded Cerberus glared to the three servants, violently it shook its heads and tail, breaking the chains as a result. The Cerberus released another fiery breath toward the three servants. As the whirling fire about to hit them, Ragna appeared and absorbed the flame with Fire Ward.
At this moment, Rose appeared next to the Cerberus. She swung her right arm and with a single punch created a big hole on Cerberus's body. The Cerberus instantly lost its balance and dropped to the floor.
"Raj~ Are you hurt~?" Said Rose in monotone tone. Hearing his mother word, sweats fell down from Raj's forehead, his body froze and his heart trembled with fear. He tried to run away but both of Emma and Zack grabbed his little arms.
"Let me go you two!! I order you two to let me go!!!" Yelled the panicked Raj.
"I only follow Madam command." Said Emma.
"....Sorry young master." While Zack apologized to Raj.
Slowly Rose walked toward Raj, a smile pasted on her face but a vein came out from her forehead. With gentleness, she patted Raj's cheek and said "Are you hurt?"
"E..erm... M..mom listen! this thing suddenly came into the room and attacked me, so... Self-defense! this is self-defense!!" Raj replied inconclusively.
Rose glanced toward a 5-year-old boy, standing still without a single scratch. "You two, throw that thing away." Rose ordered Emma and Zack.
"Wait!! don't throw it! I just summoned it!!" Raj covered his mouth in reflex after he said this.
"Hoo~" Said Rose. Another vein appeared on her head, slowly the gentle pat turned into a pinch.
"Ah'm saweeeh, aw'm saweeeh, am sowwwy." Said Raj while his cheek getting pulled like a gum.
A few moments later, after Raj explained everything to his parent. Rexar came with Rayne on his arm alongside Ruby, covered in ash and Mrs. Drowsy. "Oh brother?" Said Raj.
"I'm very sorry Mrs. Drowsy!!! We'll pay for the damage." Said Rose while bowing her head to Mrs. Drowsy.
"..No... Lady Rose, this is my fault for forgetting to bring my bag. No... In fact, I should've destroyed that book a long time ago." Said Mrs. Drowsy while also bowing to Rose.
"Noooo!!!! Don't destroy it!!" Said Raj while crying.
Another vein appeared on Rose's forehead, with a move faster than the wind she pulled Raj's ear.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! I get it! I get it! .... Mrs. Drowsy, Sorry..." Said Raj.
"No. Its fine as long as young master doesn't hurt." Said Mrs. Drowsy.
"...This boy *sigh* Ruby, take Raj and Rayne to the living room." Said Rose.
"Yes mom." Answered Ruby while she grabbed Rayne and pulled Raj's ear.
As soon as the three children walked away, Ragna, Rose, Mrs. Drowsy and Rexar moved into the guest room. While sitting next to the long table, Rose drank a tea that had been prepared by Maria and taking a deep sigh after she finished her tea.
"We deeply apologize for this incident Drowsy. Please send us the inquiry, we will pay for everything that Raj breaks." Said Rose.
"No, Lady Rose. I'm the one that should've apologized for not destroying that." Answered Mrs. Drowsy while bowing her head.
"Eh... Please don't do that." Said Ragna.
"Lord Ragna, this thing is an old relic that should be destroyed after the war ended. I'm sorry for not destroying this thing." Replied Mrs. Drowsy.
"Well... Rex, what do you think about your brother?" Asked Ragna.
"What do I think? He is an energetic child if I must say... OH, what father means is my opinion as a professor right? From what Raj told us, it is indeed amazing to use magic without understanding the formula. Also this is only my opinion, but isn't it weird that he can remember me? I mean, the last time I came home he's not even a year old."
"Yes, thank god Raj still remember you, just imagine the awkwardness if your own brother doesn't even remember you." Said Rose.
"And mother this is only my hypothesis, but wouldn't it be a big trouble if he can remember everything inside of that book?" Said Rexar.
"Lord Ragna, Lady Rose. I know this is presumptuous to speak about Raj, but this book is written by an old demon language, there is no way someone can remember a letter that they don't recognize." Said Mrs. Drowsy
"Eh... I know that Drowsy, but just in case, why don't you test him a little bit?" Said Ragna.
"Dear?! Are you saying you want Raj to learn Black Magic?!" Said Rose.
"Eh... this is only a test. If he can't remember, there's no need for him to learn it but just in case he remembers, I think it is better to have someone guide him. I mean, just remember how many crazy researchers and scientists that got devoured by their magic." Said Ragna.
"Dear... *sigh* Fine, Drowsy please tests Raj oh and don't forget to send the bill." Said Rose.
"If that's what Lord Ragna and Lady Rose want, then I excuse myself." Said Mrs. Drowsy.
"Oh, father, mother, can I see the test?" Said Rexar.
"Eh, feel free to do that." Said Ragna.
***
As Raj resting his head against the table while watching Rayne sleeping like a log, Mrs. Drowsy and Rexar came into the living room. "*Ahem* Raj, can you write down the first few pages from my book?" Said Mrs. Drowsy
Shifting his gaze toward them, "Yes!!! ....Wait!! Won't I get another trouble if I do that?"
Rexar hearing his brother words took a piece of candy from his pocket and said "Raj~ do you want it?" Said Rexar.
"Yessssss!!!"
Raj jumped in excitement when he heard this, he tried to snatch the candy from Rexar's hand but Rexar closed his palm before Raj able to reach the candy. "Then how about you write it down first?" Said Rexar while took a quill and papers.
"Fine..."
As Raj moved the quill in a blank paper without any hesitation, only a few minutes passed he finished the first page. Mrs. Drowsy took the first page and with a single glance, she said. "....Amazing."
