25 Start of training

"Brother, it's good that you are out. We are so tired of training everytime, can we play at your room again today. Skye and I always had a good time there."

Arthur just smiled at Dylan but he never agreed or disagree. He continued drinking tea and was gazing into the distance.

"Is there something wrong brother?"

"I wanna play, too little brother. But this place is too small for me or even for the both of you to play at. Maybe you will have fun going to the academy less than a year from now, but even there I might got bored to death. You don't want that for your big brother, right?"

The twins ferociously nodded in response. They idolize their big brother too much, it would be crazy to get him upset.

"Maybe or maybe not, I have not decided to come with you to the academy, although I cleary feel that mother wants me to go.

But if I go, you will be just depending on me, and that would waste my time. I hope we can be stronger together and play on this vast world. There is no doubt in my mind that I will protect you two, but who will protect my back?".

"I will protect you brother and Dylan too". Surprisingly, the shy and quiet Skye responded with tenacity and determination.

"You are both weak right now, you can't help me yet. I am weak, too. We are in our most vulnerable state now. All we had right now is the three of us."

Dylan and Skye felt hopeless and ashamed. What can they do? They are still kids after all.

"I do have a way, a way to rank up faster, but only you two can do it. My body is already immune to such ways, and will only respond to better things. What I am talking about is this."

Arthur pulled out four potion tubes that contains the Elemental Combustion and gave each of them two tubes. He then explained the initial dosage and the effects of this to the body.

"Well, pretty awesome, huh. You will just feel like a couple of ants biting you all over your body. I mean, if you can't even take such pain, then helping me get what I want in return, then this would be a useless effort for me. You do want to help your big brother right?"

"Ofcourse, big brother".

Arthur took two books out from his ring, and gave them to Skye and Dylan to memorize for the whole day. The book was entitled 'How to Cast Magic Efficiently..... Dummy Brothers Edition'. The twins did not know whether to laugh or cry about this, however, when they opened the books, the contents were all handwritten.

It just shows how their big brother really cared for them that he even wrote a book to train them. The first book contained detailed analysis of their skill seeds and how they should complement them with each other. This also includes how they should choose their future skill seeds to equip.

The second one shows them the tricks and what to avoid against a certain enemy. Even the exercises and skill trainings were rationally explained to optimize their understanding.

"Only when you have the ability to absolutely control your powers will I permit you to harmonize your second skill seed."

Arthur already analyzed that the twins can already control about 35-45 percent of their current power. That is already very fast progress keeping in mind that they are yellow skill hybrids. They were non-commital before, but Arthur knew that they only need a slight push to motivate them. Even so, his brothers were really talented.

Using the Suppression skill from Argon, he can already manipulate 100 percent of the power of low rank skill after he was finished harmonizing with them. But for others, even if they use any kind of method, it will take time of many trainings just sync up.

Arthur continued sipping tea while the twins stayed there and scanned the whole book. They even forgot lunch and asked some questions about the book.

It was already mid-afternoon when Arthur decided for a stroll.

"Tomorrow, wake up early and eat breakfast. We will start training immediately. Get ready and rest for today, you gonna need it. Keep the potion tubes as our little secret, okay?"

=================================

Range Family, Gridget Town

An old man dressed in white robes is smoking pipe near the window. Not far away from him is an old woman brushing her hair in front of the mirror.

"Dear husband, are we really going to visit our daughter? I have been free for days now, why did you not let me go first?"

"Don't you want travel with me? Besides, it is not even our daughter that you want to see, but your lovable grandsons?"

"What are you saying? Didn't you know they have become hybrids. Even Skye became a wind elemental, there is no way that I would let someone train our grandson knowing that I could do it better. Even Arthur came back. Have you noticed that Marty did not even tell us details about him."

"Ever since our friend passed away, Marty did shoulder a lot of responsibilty and he is better than me in terms of making a decision. However, he is still a bit weak in understanding people.

Well, Kathlyn did say everything was fine but I still want to meet our grandson also. There is something that Jeremy wrote that really makes me worrisome."

They have to just see for themselves the transformation of the brothers.
