After discussing about what style of fighting that I was going to learn from now on with Uncle Aeson. Both of us were heading towards the armoury to see what types of weapons were available for me to choice for my training.
As we reached the armoury I saw an old man, with long white hair and emerald eyes, was sitting on the stool. He must be at least as strong or even stronger than my father who is already an emperor ranked warrior. I am not totally sure if he is stronger or weaker than my father is because Orrian always hides his aura so that it won’t effect us. But if I had to guess Orrian’s pressure would be the same as the one I am feeling right now. Even though it is very hard to breathe with this much pressure being admitted to my lungs, I was able hold me ground without falling onto the ground.
Uncle Aeson seems to have figured out what was wrong with me as I suddenly started to breathe faster and my legs was bend and trying not to fall on the ground. He rushed towards the old man and was tell him something because I was concentrating on not falling down I couldn’t hear him. Then suddenly the pressure that the old man was sending disappeared and I fell on the ground having depleted my stamina. Uncle Aeson came back to pick me up off the ground and bring closer to the old man.
“Hahahaha, sorry little one, I just want to test you to see if my eyes were lying to me, as it seems that you are already physical strong than an Apprentice ranked warrior. All that you need is to learn a bit of the basic warrior battle skills and you would be able to already enter the squire ranked in warrior.” (Old Man)
“Elder, are sure that Raz has already become an apprentice ranked warrior?” (Aeson)
“What is this Aeson, even you have started think that I am going senile because of my age?” (Elder)
“Sorry Elder, I meant no such think it is just that Raz is just turned six, it just hard to believe that he is already an apprentice ranked warrior.” (Aeson)
“Hahahaha,I guess it will be hard to believe that a six year old kid could be a rank 2 warrior already but you should know that he has at least been training for more than two years looking at his firm body.” (Elder)
While the old man and Uncle Aeson were arguing about what warrior I have achieved, the old man is really closer in guess that I am already a 2 ranked warrior. But if my estimate is correct then I am already a 3 ranked warrior because of my past world’s techniques that I still remember but for people in this world I would be a high level ranked 2 warrior. I was think about how to add this into my training so that I can withstand the pressure from the old man. While I was wondering how to train to be able to withstand the pressure from someone stronger that me.
“Sorry about that Raz, I got distracted when the elder said that you are already a rank 2 warrior.” (Aeson)
“It’s fine, Uncle. I apologize, but I do not recognize the elder you were talking to.” (Raziel)
“Oh, I guess you won’t know him, know would you. After all you have always been either training in the lake behind your house or you’re at your house playing with Luna. You have never left your house boundaries until now so you wouldn’t have seen him because he hates visiting other people.” (Aeson)
“Well, I am sorry that I am more interested in training than meeting with other people.” (Raziel)
“Hahahaha, I didn’t mean it as bad thing just that you should go out and enjoy your childhood rather than focusing too much on training.” (Aeson)
“Hahahaha, I am sorry little one for forgetting to introduce myself. My name is Theodre Vandiir and I am one of your father’s old teachers and your grandfather’s friend.” (Theodre)
“I am sorry, if I was impolite towards you, I didn’t know that you knew my father and grandfather.” (Raziel)
“It’s fine, Raz. I don’t like formality very much this also why I never go to other people’s house .” (Theodre)
“Alright then elder I have to take Raz to the armoury so that he can choose the weapon that he is going to use.” (Aeson)
“Alright then Raz and Aeson have fun choosing your weapon. Remember to choose the weapon that speaks to you rather than choosing one because others are choosing it.” (Theodre)
“Thanks for the advise, Elder Theodre.” (Raziel)
After Elder Theodre left us behind, we headed straight towards the armoury. When we entered the armoury, it was filled with weapons all from the medieval time such as swords, maces, spears, pike, bow and arrows. As I was walking around the armoury looking at the different kinds of weapons, I was reminded of the my old weapons. I know that it isn’t like that I will find a pistol or a sniper rifle but I can make the throwing knifes, shuriken, throwing needles and a katana of my liking. As I was remembering my past, I found a weapon in a room which didn’t quite fit in with the other weapons because most of the weapons looked European but the weapon that I found was definitely Japanese. The weapon that I am currently looking at is a katana, it is a straight one-edged sword Japanese sword. When I went to check the sword more closely Uncle Aeson stopped me.

“Sorry, Raz but that sword is said to be cursed.” (Aeson)
“It’s ok, Uncle you were only worried about me but is it really cursed Uncle.” (Raziel)
“Raz, this is one of the two swords that were used by a being that is not of this world.” (Aeson)
“What do you mean by a being not of his world?” (Raziel)
“Raz during the second Great War between the demon king and the humans. The human summoned a hero from a different world to protect them, and the human went around the world to ask help from all the races to defeat the demon king. This sword was his gift to the elves to join the war against the demon king.” (Aeson)
“But Uncle how come it is cursed if the sword is a gift from the hero?” (Raziel)
“Well Raz, it’s because this sword sucks in the mana of the users causing the user to get exhausted from having his mana depleted.” (Aeson)
“Uncle, I get it that it is dangerous to pass out during a fight but what is happening to the mana that is sucked into the sword?” (Raziel)
“Raz, that is a wonderful question but I have no clue , as I have never even touched it. You should ask your father about it as it is his personal sword that he got as a gift from your grandfather.” (Aeson)
When both of us were talking Orrian walked into the armoury with few of his personal guards behind him.
“Hi there, Raz. Have you found out what weapon and what style you want to learn?” (Orrian)
“Ah, father.” (Raziel)
“Master” (Aeson)
“Hi, Raz and Aeson” (Orrian)
“Ah, father I choose I want to learn the sword and I want to learn the FirePhoenix style.” (Aeson)
“Well that wasn’t what I thought you would choose after looking at you train for so many years but if you want to do it I won’t stop you.” (Orrian)
“Thanks dad, so when can I start me training.” (Raziel)
“Hahahaha, you are definitely a special kid. I don’t think that there will be any other kid like you in the world who wants to train so much. We can start your training tomorrow after your morning training, come straight to the training grounds.” (Orrian)
“Alright father I will come by the training ground after my morning training. Then I will see later, I have to go home so that I can help with housework.” (Raziel)
“Alright then Raz, I will see you later tonight.” (Orrian)
“Bye dad and Uncle Aeson.” (Raziel)
After I left the training grounds I went directly home so that I can keep my promise with Luna to help her with her studies. When I arrived home, Luna has ones again hiding so that she didn’t need to study. But ones she found out that I came back, she immediately left her hiding spot and rushed to the door to wait for me to open it so that she can tackle me down. After remembered that she was angry at me for avoid her in the morning, I let her tackle me so that it didn’t repeat again. When we entered the room, mother ones again started to scold Luna for running away from studies. After mother’s scolding I told them that I will teach her the thinks that she needs to know about arithmetic, history and the Elven language. When mother thought about it she said ok because she knows that Luna is not concentrating because of me. Luna was extremely happy with the idea of me teaching her because this means that she doesn’t have to be away from me.After teaching Luna until dinner, we were waiting for dad to arrive from his work. After dinner dad said, that in a year we will be going to the capital city so we should prepare to go. That night I was wondering if the katana that is stored in the armoury really that special or was it just my own idea. As I went to sleep I was think about all the things that happened in just one day and also was thinking about what new thing I can add to my training regime.
