Drytan heads toward his office where Cedric is still outside the office.

"Follow me inside Cedric."

"You are now assigned to Elaric from today onwards. Teach him all the basics of the weapons in my arsenal along with energy application and keep on notifying me of his progress."

Surprised by such an unbelievable decision from a master who he had been following all his life unable to keep his curiosity to himself, "May I ask why you are going to such lengths for the child, sir? Even if he is a thousand-year type of talent he will only ever be the brightest light bulb in the world after all his element is just light."

"You are right about that but his light is not a mere flicker from fire but possibly light itself. Now do you understand my intentions?"

"Yes master, I shall sharpen Elaric so he can become the sword that demons will fear."

"Begin the training from today."After bowing to Drytan Cedric heads to the training ground with a new impression about Elaric in Cedric's eyes he is no longer a mature slightly interesting child who might be the world's best light bulb but now he is the one who could change the course of the world.

"Hello again young master, Shall we start training right away then? Is there a particular weapon that you are interested in?"While on the surface the question seems generic but it actually shows the depth of one's true personality.

"I was thinking about learning the spear first since I don't know much about fighting I can maintain distance from an enemy."

Cedric is yet again amazed by Elaric since children who start their physical training normally do so at 8 to 10.

But they don't think about much when picking their first weapon which is why it shows their inner selves but Elaric chose the spear only because it was the logical choice without any feelings he couldn't figure Elaric out.

"All right then let's start by knowing the nature of the spear. To use the spear to its utmost potential you need to remain calm-headed at all times since you can not depend wholly on muscle memory."

"It has a large reach and can both poke at enemies and parry their attacks. It is highly effective against swords. First practice poking with it. It is the basics of the spear since you get used to adjusting the center of gravity and where you need to put your hand depending upon the situation."

"For today try this form for about a thousand times and then you can go rest."Cedric shows him the basic position.

"Sir, Can you show me what I could do with this form at your level? Right now I don't really see its use in a world with individuals as powerful as you."

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

Smiling at the boy oblivious of the ways of the world, "Young master no weapon is weaker than the other as such no form is weaker than the other it all depends upon the individual and the situation. Let me demonstrate."

Cedric exerts his energy on his hand joints and jabs the spear splitting the air in doing so.

"Now, Do you have any doubts? Since I have other duties as well I will come to check up on you in the evening to lead you to your accommodation. If you need my help before that you can ask other servants to notify me."

"Understood sir."

"Oh and try to if you can cover the weapon with your light."

"I will try my best sir."

After Cedric leaves the room Elaric begins his training.

Elaric continues to try and replicate the move that Cedric showed but to no avail.

He continued on for hours, blistering appearing on his hands, his shoulders tiring but still not the same as Cedric's.

He then rests thinking what more could he do better.

Remembering Cedric's words he then tries embedding his energy into his joints.

Feeling the spear's movements as if he were feeling his breathing.

He then tries it again and then he finally jabs the with speed almost akin to Cedric's but he falls head first to the ground. His lower body is unable to keep a foothold.

With his nose slightly bleeding and an oversized spear for his 5-year-old body, "Wow! So this is what magic feels like!"

More motivated than ever Elaric starts trying to engulf his mana in both his hands and legs.

He then tries to send mana from his abdomen to both his hand and feet but his mana only reaches his shoulders and thighs.

Elaric continues to try but his mana capacity is not large or dense enough to enhance all his limbs.

"What else can I do? I just don't have enough mana but sir Cedric knows the amount of mana I possess so I must be able to do it. What else can I do?"

The sun is about to set and Elaric has been trying to figure out other ways to master the form when another idea comes to mind, "Can I decrease the denseness of my mana so then I can spread it all around my body?"

Then finally Elaric manages to spread his mana to both his arms and legs and then he executes the form perfectly.

"I mastered the jab form but it's all Cedric taught me."

Elaric heads outside the training ground to the hallway but sees no one to ask Cedric's whereabouts and he doesn't know the areas where the servants of the estate are working.

"What else can I do? There are still at least a good few hours for Cedric to come back."

With nothing else to do Elaric continues his training.

"Cedric did say I should try the same with my weapon. But he didn't tell me and I didn't ask him either. Is it similar to what Drytan did?"

He tried to spread his mana to the spear but it was again not enough.

Then he thins down his mana again and finally, it was just enough to engulf both his arms and legs along with the spear.

He again tried the same move but now it was sharp.

Improving upon the move again and again after dozens of tries now Elaric spent just enough mana on his legs so he wouldn't fall over and spent more mana on his shoulders and his spear.

Now when Elaric jabs it is so fast that it now takes half the time it took him before.

Amazed by his skills Elaric now tries to jab as much as he can in an instant with his spear.

He now can jab 3 times in a second. Still over the moon about his achievement Elaric tries to do it again but suddenly he feels a sharp pain in his shoulders.

Full of adrenaline from his achievement along with adrenaline from his shoulder breaking he hadn't felt pain until now.

Feeling the pain all at once Elaric screams on top of his lungs, his nose bleeds, and his consciousness begins to fade out.

As he falls to the ground with his eyes barely open he sees Cedric entering the room.
