Unwanted reunion

Vale immiadeatly kneels in presence of his majesty while his body still shivers in fear. 'How could a single man possess such presence' Vale comments in his mind as he took part in multiple large scale war however none had as much as pressure as this single man possessed. 

"W-what gives me the pleasure of meeting your majesty" Vale speaks with trembling voice while his gaze fixed at ground. Seeing Vale's reaction King smiles slightly and mutters "So it's true then". Then the king replies after observing him for a moment "It's related to your aura awakening. I came here to fulfill my curiosity." After pausing for another moment the king again replies "You can be proud of yourself, it's something even I hadn't achive in my years".

'Don't you lie bastard, I've heard that you broke through inside of the trial' Vale comments in his mind as he recalls overhearing the maides talking about it and replies "I'm honored by your words majesty, you think too highly of me".

Then a sword flies towards Vale and he catches it "Come, draw your sword" king Ares comments. Vale looks up slightly and cold sweat starts running from his forehead as he discovers that his life has come to an end. Noticing Vales reaction king Ares says "Don't worry I still have a use for you" and that helps Vale calm down a lot because king Ares is famous for killing his opponent in the heat of battle.

 Vale takes in the battle position while facing his father. "Attack" Ares shout's and Vale attacks with a very polished sword attack. Ares easily blocks and with a simple swing of Vale gets blown quite far. Ares realises that awakening aura doesn't mean able to control it and a hint of disappointment washes over him. Seeing his reaction Vale gets pissed off and mutters "it's my aura that you want to see huh, so be it". 

Vale comes closer to Ares at his initial position and concentrates on bringing out aura to enhance his body. He tries to feel the mana channels and traces it to the source where he feels a tiny drop of his accumulated aura. Then Vale smiles and gets ready to attack again. Ares feels slight amusement to what Vale was trying to do.

Just as earlier Vale attacks in the same pattern however just before contact a tiny bit of aura moves around his body and Vale retracts the attack, moves slightly while doughing Ares's counter and attacks again in his back. 

Ares taken aback slightly by Vale's strategy moves with swift motion and 'Boom' Vale gets hit by full swing of the world's strongest man's sword. Vale blocks the attack with aura but such a trivial protection wasn't able to change anything and Vale clashes onto window then falls out from window.

"I thought he wasn't planning on killing me" Vale mutters while falling from castle. Ares tries to hide his dark smile but unable to do so orders Odessa a beautiful women wearing a lustrous black robe to go fetch him. 

Odessa follows his command and prevents Vale from falling by using wind magic and brings him back to the training hall. Seeing Vale in an unconscious state king Ares takes out a shiny blue gem which he was planning to give Vale personally and orders Odessa to deliver to him when he is awake.

Odessa nods and takes Vale to the healers while holding the precious blue gem.
