Twins

Living beings, no matter the race or form, were always born with Energy Core and Energy Circuits in their body.

In the case of humans and other humanoid creatures, their Energy Core is typically located in the lower abdomen, while their Energy Circuits extend throughout their bodies, resembling a network of blood vessels.

Individuals born without an energy core and energy circuit are often looked down upon by others and are powerless, not capable of defending themselves.

Therefore, Tiana's worried expression was understandable.. After all, she was also born without an energy core and energy circuits.

She knew how hard it was to live while being so powerless, and it was also the reason why she was so worried for her son who inherited her lack of energy core and circuits.

Nevertheless, Leo's presence reassured her.

Ungaaaa!!! Ungaaaa!!! Ungaaaa!!!

The baby in Ella's arms kept crying no matter how hard she tried to comfort it.

As Leo approached her, she sighed with relief and handed him the baby.

"Oh! You're really energetic aren't you!?" Leo smiled as he looked at the baby in his arms. He went back and sat beside Tiana, who was still holding their calm son.

At this moment, Aunt Ida spoke, "She's a girl. She is also the last one to come out so it could be said that she's younger than him. As you can see, she's also very energetic in contrast to her brother. I can also feel very warm vibrant energy from her which means that she has the talent to be a warrior."

After a short pause, she looked at Ella, "Ella are you done cleaning?"

Ella nodded with a smile as she wiped the sweat on her forehead with her arm.

Aunt Ida nodded and said, "Then, we'll take our leave first to give you family some time with each other. Tiana, if you're feeling anything wrong, order that musclehead to look for us, okay? We'll be in our home."

Tiana laughed softly and nodded, "Thank you, Aunt Ida."

"Hmph, don't mention it. You're like a daughter to me, after all." Aunt Ida waved her hand dismissively before carrying the buckets, towels and tools that she used with Ella.

The two of them congratulated Tiana and Leo before bidding farewell and leaving.

Leo and Tiana looked at each other and smiled lovingly.

As they caressed their children, Tiana suddenly asked, "What should we name them?"

"Hmmm…" Hearing her, Leo began to think hard. "I think it would be best to give our eldest the name Jin."

Tiana pondered for a moment and nodded, "Jin means power and vitality. He's a little frail so it would be a great name for him."

Then, she looked at their lively daughter and asked, "What about her?"

Leo looked at Tiana quietly and smiled before saying, "I'd like to name her Tanya. It's from your name and also means 'she who looks with wonder'."

Hearing her husband's words, Tiana blushed. After a short while, she frowned and said "Are you sure about that? What if she grows to be untalented and weak like me..."

"Well, we can just name her Leontios which came from my name. It represents power and braver—"

Smack!

"Oww, why did you hit me?" Leo protested with a wronged expression.

Tiana pouted and looked away from her husband.

Leo giggled and said, "Stop being so pessimistic. You are the reason why I was able to become what I am today. So don't ever belittle yourself again."

After a few minutes of soothing, Leo began to take care of his still-weak wife and children.

Just like that, the husband and wife welcomed their children, Jin and Tanya, to the world.

6 years later…

"Dad! Dad! Loo, Loo! Uncle Rowan gave me a swowd! I can finawwy twain wiwd yoo!"

A girl with shining blue eyes and golden hair tied into a ponytail excitedly entered a wooden house while waving a small wooden sword about 12cm long.

"Tanya, Father and Mother are still preparing food. Come, let brother see your sword first."

At this moment, a childish voice with a mature tone which created quite the contrast with each other, sounded and made the little girl halt her steps.

The little girl named Tanya looked towards the source of the voice and saw a child sitting on a chair while holding a book in his hands. His white hair made him look frail.

However, the weakness of his body cannot hide the golden eyes which seemed to seek for more knowledge.

"Bwothew Win! Hehehe! Loo!" Tanya excitedly ran towards her brother to show her sword to him.

Looking at his little sister, the boy sighed like an elderly and said, "Tanya, it's Jin not Win. Besides, you caused trouble at Uncle Rowan again didn't you?"

Jin's words made Tanya freeze on the spot. She quickly hid the sword behind her and fidgeted while looking around. "N-No Bwothew! I-Iwts ummm…"

Jin giggled and patted his little sister's head. "Don't worry, we'll keep it a secret from Father and Mother, okay? Can you show me how you wield your sword?"

Tanya's eyes lit up as she held her sword over her head and performed a vertical slash.

Clap~ Clap~

"Wow! You're so strong!" Jin giggled and clapped as Tanya performed more slashes with her small sword.

Leo and Tiana, who were both preparing food for their children, looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Over the course of years, their children grew very differently. Jin was able to speak properly despite being so young. He also likes observing Leo when he is training.

Unfortunately, his weak physique didn't let him play as much as he wanted. He easily gets tired and is prone to fever whenever he overworks his body. Nevertheless, he still wakes up early and performs basic exercises whenever he can.

Tanya, on the other hand, seemed a little too energetic. She can even tire out both her mother and father when playing with them. She also plays all day and still has energy to play during the night.

Like her brother, Tanya likes observing Leo whenever he is training. However, as soon as she was able to walk, Tanya always followed behind Leo when he was performing basic exercises such as running.

However, despite Jin and Tanya's quirkiness, Leo and Tiana sees both their children as miracle.
