you are my descendant, or are you not? 2

Jack was truly not expecting this plot to happen but still calmed down.

"Great-grandfather, maybe you are thinking too much, maybe the reason I have this different type of ability is that my mother is related somehow to the royal family"

"you are such a wise kid, are you really only 1 year old?"

"This descendant really does not know why but it seems that my intelligence is quite better than the others"

Old man Muto was also curious and decided to summon one of his familiar which is the blood rat.

Oldman Muto looked at the rat then asked "Ako siya akong paryente sa dugo?" ("Is he my blood relative?")

The blood rat jumps at Jack and ran to his shoulder. The blackish red figure with vampiric teeth smelled jack and his sharp pointy tail struct at his face leaving a small cut near his jaw.

The blood rat went to taste it then jump back and run toward old man Muto.

"Chkreach chreack arch"

Old man Muto seemed to understand what the blood rat has said and directly unsummoned it with a wave of a hand.

"It seems it is likely the case"

Jack was all smiles, he can't believe that at least they are really related.

"sigh"

"You are a born genius mage, being born with a rank 1 ability and evolved it to rank 2 at the age of 1. Along with high intelligence suitable for a mage. As an ancestor, I have the obligations to help you, but all I can do is to help you seal your ability for 1 hour which was the effect of this sealing scroll. You are a bigger threat to the clan then the Hail clan"

"Great grandfather and why is that?"

Old man Muto smiled at Jack "Maybe you are still really a child. As you can see Jack, your ability will not only bring harm to you and your father. If this thing was known, not only will it be you and your father or our family but the whole clan maybe involved"

"Clan with a special ability like ours tend to keep the ability sacred and for each descendant to always marry our own clan members or a clan with similar attributes. You, being from our clan to have an ability that was from another clan without the consent from them is a taboo"

"They will think that we have kidnaped their descendant and interbreed with it and someday we will be able to produce the same kind of talent again. Big clan especially the likes of Tucks royal family tends to get aggressive when it comes to their ability. You will bring annihilation to our clan if this gets known"

Jack has no idea how big of a trouble he has got himself into. He looks at old man Muto with great worry "Great grandfather please help me"

"There is not much I can help you. All I could do is to send you to my sworn brother Arch for training in a hamlet in Windshore for the meantime"

"Then this great-grandchild will follow great grandfather's arrangement"

"Then you should go back to your father and tell him that I have known you are a genius and I would like to send you to my sworn brother to enhance your intelligence in a hamlet in Windshore. Come tomorrow morning at 7"

"And by the way please do look after your older cousin, he is still a talent but still lacks temperament. He will also stay there every start of the summer till the start of fall to learn from Suzaku"

"Then I bid grate grandfather goodbye for now"

Jack excitedly went home and announce the news about the training that he will undergo into prepared by the great elder. Of course, Jack has not told them about his talents and only told them that the great elder fancied him for his intelligence, this is also a fact that his father already known because the original body owner, the real Jack kinsmith has roughly the same talent as Jack miller who is in the body now. This has caused his father especially Aiko his cousin to be saddened at the unexpected news.

Earlier the next day Jack went to the great elder's house and rode a shabby carriage to the hamlet in Windshore. Jack and Bellamy were quite distant for a bit but after they get to settle their difference along the road which took them 8 days to travel they become good friends.

After arriving at the supposed hamlet in Windshore Bellamy introduced Jack to the smith Suzaku and the bookworm Arch who are taking care of the orphanage in the slightly distant Windshore village.

Years have passed, and Jack has stayed in Windshore and only goes back home every winter and return at the start of spring.

He stayed in the orphanage all the time reading the book collection of Arch about magic spells and other stuff. He also mastered the use of godspanel by using it from person to person which has confirmed the idea that it could be used on those who are weaker than himself.

Bellamy also followed his routine till the age of 9 learning smithing from Suzaku which was sometimes joined by Jack in the process.

The 6th year and Jack were already 7 years old has grown his hair to a good length and started taking good care of his health for he has read that it will help well in the mana core creation at the age of 10. Jack stood firm with lean muscle giving a feeling that he has a balanced body from strength to speed to endurance.

This year was quite different and a little bit significant from the past years that he stayed in Windshore.

A new orphan was taken in, which happens sometimes but this time was quite special for the one who was taken in has a connection to Jack.

Jack found the new boy outside of the orphanage sitting up in a tree looking at the clouds which are already darkening.

The boy is skinny, light skinned, silver hair, blue eyes and by the looks of it, he is not purely human.
