4 The Start of the Training Arc

After that eventful dinner, Sirius Bones felt humiliated by what had transpired. Zack and Vivian blamed Arcturus Black for their brothers behaviour.

Billy and Evie were scared of how their older brother acted and the power he held.

Susan Bones wanted to know more about Tiberius, but Amelia refused to tell her about the son she and her husband abandoned.

Meanwhile, Tiberius is exercising to strengthen his body. After finishing his exercise, he went practising with his magic.

Ever since he absorbed magic to himself, he felt more energetic, and his senses were heightened.

Arcturus Black kept a close eye on his great grandson. He was impressed with his training and exercise.

After much thinking, he decided it was time for his training to begin.

My training is paying off, I can lift lots of small objects and some big objects like chairs.

My senses were heightened as well, I could hear the sound of flies from afar. This helped me kill them as I find flies very annoying.

After I finished my magic training, I went to the library. I've read almost all the books, and soon I will have no more books to read.

The books I've read so far just told me about spells and how each one of the work.

I decided to try cast Lumos wandlessly. I raised my index finger on my right hand.

"Lumos." A small light appeared on my index finger. I was excited but felt tired. The same tiredness I felt when I reached my magical limit.

The light went out, and I heard the door opening. It was Arcturus Black, and he looked impressed.

"Your reserves have increased, but it's not enough as you can only cast Lumos for a split second. Allow me to explain. In each magical folk, there are magical reserves that are used to store mana.

Mana is magical energy that is used to cast spells. If you run out of Mana, you can no longer cast spells and will have to wait for it to recharge. You will also feel a bit tired.

Wands have an unlimited supply of Mana due to their powerful core. Reserves can increase by continuous use of it."

That explains a lot, so the reason whenever I reach my limit is because I ran out of Mana.

An idea popped into my head, and I asked a request.

"Thank you for the information, grandfather. I have a favour to ask you. I'd like for you to train me in the ways of magic."

Arcturus raised an eyebrow.

"Is that so Tiberius, may I know why you seek to be trained by me?"

"Because you're one of the most powerful Wizards in the Wizarding world. Your power rivals that of the Dark Lord, and Albus Dumbledore.

You have a lot of knowledge that will prove useful to me as well."

The Black Lord looked at me with no emotion, and then slowly, he smiled.

"You have truly grown. Your desire for power is understandable. During our family dinner, you have cut ties with your other family.

Now, since you have gotten rid of all your emotional weaknesses, we can now begin your training.

I really hope that your determination won't die out during your training."

I felt excited. This is good. Training under Arcturus Black will provide a lot of benefits for me, and I will become more powerful.

"Come Tiberius, let us go and begin your training."

He took me to the training room and got out his wand. The room began expanding, and there were more training dummies.

Arcturus then turned towards me.

"Tiberius, I have been watching you train here in this room. I also exercised in this room like you to be more fit.

I could make myself fit through magic, but that would be too easy, and I like to work hard to achieve my goals. You may think that I hate muggles, I do not.

Thought Muggles are inferior to us. They are not to be underestimated as they have a power of their own called science. This science allowed them to create devastating weapons.

In other words, I respect them, which is why I am at odds with that imbecile Voldemort."

This is quite shocking. When he talked about muggles, I thought he would hate them, but he does not.

He is more mature than most of the other Lords and ladies, it seems.

"Now Tiberius, fight me." Wait, what did he just say?

"I beg your pardon grandfather."

"You heard me, fight me." He seems determined to see my fighting skills.

Okay, I guess I'll have to fight. I took a boxer stance and threw a punch. He dodged it and pulled my arm and landed a punch me in the face.

I fell down with nose bleeding, but I got back up and wiped the blood from my nose. I got an idea and tried using the magic around to enhance my strength.

During my experiments with magic is that I can use the magical energy I saw during meditation to strengthen my body for a short period of time.

Magic began going inside my body as I felt a burst of energy. I rushed to Arcturus, who looked shocked at my super speed.

I landed a punch in his face and knocked out a couple of his teeth, I went for another punch, but the old monster grabbed it.

Arcrturus had a huge smile in his face, and then he kicked in the stomach, which sent me to the ground.

"It's been a long time since someone injured me. The last person to injure me was by that old food Albus. He was pissed when I mentioned his sister, I was her teacher, and I knocked her up. She died of childbirth along with the baby. I was the one who caused her death, and Albus hated me for it.

When he injured me, I tortured him, but he escaped thanks to that damn Phoenix Fawkes."

This world really is an alternate universe of Harry Potter. My great grandfather is like me, an evil son of a bitch.

Arcturus then ripped off his shirt and revealed his bulging muscles.

"The difference between me and the other Wizards on my level is that I exercise. Now come Tiberius, let's see how strong you really are."

I am so screwed. There is no way I can win against this old monster, but I might as well give it my all.

Once more, I used Mana around me to strengthen my body, and then I charged forward towards Arcturus, who had his hands behind his back.
