Training

After returning to his room, yuki immediately called out to the system "status" one could sense his eagerness through his voice that said it all.

STATUS:

HP: 850

MP: 0

STR: 125

AGI: 109

DEX: 111

VIT: 116

INT: ??

DEF: 102

Looking at his status, yuki felt proud of the original yuki, he trained so hard he had far surpassed his peers. At his age his peer would probably be around 10 for each of their stats except HP and MP which would be around 100 each not like they would have a system. In this world the inhabitants measure their talents and stats using magical objects even his family had one which was only available to royal families and major academies.

"So what about your shop?" asked yuki to the system with anticipation but unfortunately the system burst his bubble before it could expand. "I do not have a shop but I possess abilities I can gift the host once he becomes strong enough to use them but none of them is related to magic" explained the system. "Oh yeah, why don't I have magic" asked yuki with furrowed eyebrows clearly worried about his lack of magic, something he thought he could use now he was in another world. "Host does not have access to that information yet. For host to gain more information and skills host has to grow stronger" explained the system as if it was already prepared for the questions. Yuki began wondering what his parents would think about his lack of magic when they both possess magic that surpasses that of normal people even more than royals. His father possesses ice magic, he was known as the 'Ice phoenix' because of his mastery of ice magic, a rear magic and his refusal to fall in battles no matter the amount of injury hence the name phoenix. His mother possess the earth and plant ability, a double magic user, she was known as nature phoenix. Based on the legends, when his mother was young she was given the name 'nature goddess' but she rejected it and said only her highness could bear such name. It just sucks nobody knows who this highness is.

After checking his system and realizing no other feature was present he got bored of the system and decided to check out his strength as he had higher stats compared to his peers. "Young master, where would you like to go?" he heard a voice and before he could think further he saw a shadow materialize infront of him, the shadow he knew all to well, kentaro Akio also known as 'shadow' the person his safety was entrusted to by his father.

"I would like to go and train, is there any where…err, could you take me there?" yuki said almost slipping his tongue. "Doesn't young master still need to rest" asked shadow with his stiff cold-face showing surprise, an emotion yuki wasn't expecting to see on this stiff face. "No, I'm already alright, besides I'm brimming with energy right now and I would like to release part of it. Would you be comfortable training with me?" asked yuki slowly. "The young master wants to fight me?" asked shadow again showing surprise but this time yuki wasn't surprised as the original yuki never allowed anybody near him when he wanted to train. "Yes yes, just let us go already" said yuki wishing shadow would forget about his injury something shadow realized immediately but didn't say a thing and just followed.

"Clash Clash, huff huff"

Yuki was breathing heavily after fighting with shadow in a fist fight for more than five hours, though he didn't defeat shadow even once. "Young master, let's stop here today" shadow had been trying to tell yuki to end the training already since the past four hours as the young master was still recovering. "You know I'm not that weak but we'llend the spar here today since you really want to stop me" said yuki in a dissatisfied voice to which shadow didn't say anything and just kept maintaining his still face as if nothing in this world could faze him something yuki swore to destroy one day.

"Dinner is ready young master, would you like to bathe before eating or after" asked a maid who approached yuki and shadow as they left the training hall or rather only him as he looked around but couldn't spot shadow anywhere near but he knew he was present probably hiding in the shadows. "We could also deliver the meal to your room" added the maid seeing yuki not replying after some time.

"Err, no I would take a bath first and eat dinner after" said yuki after getting pulled out of his thoughts.

"Now it's time to have the bath of my life" said yuki with joy evident in his voice as he was a lover of bath especially hot springs. "Ohh, by the way you can stop following me now, shadow. Thanks again for today" yuki didn't forget to thank shadow and dismiss him as he needed privacy since he was going for a bath and he didn't doubt that shadow would follow him even to the bath as that won'tbe the first time, it was just the past yuki never realized.
