Chapter 3 - Learn Magic

There was sound of marching with continuous tone coming from Claymore's training ground. The little curious Rosé was looking at the knight's training while took a peek from the castel window near the training ground. Her purple eyes, which a signature of Claymores, sparkled so brightly when the knights practice formation, advanced movement and did some guard magic.

Magic!

That was something very rare in this world. Usually, people who could use magic is from noble families. The ancestors who built Zetas Kingdom was known for their proficient in magic. At the beginning, when people noticed they could use magic, they usually start at the very basic magic, which was lifting things and sifting them to different place. Then, it would go specialized depend on someone's profession.

If you were a knight, then you would practice knight related magic to support in the battlefield. If you were a doctor, then you would learn magic how to heal sickness and also must expert in medicine. Thus, it was very common in Zetas Kingdom, people who could use magic applied themselves to entered Zetas Academy and study at that place.

Of course from the Claymore, Willhem and Damon, went to this Academy. In the future, Roselia, would also joined them when she reached the awakening stage of her magic. How about Rosé? Unfortunately, even when she could start use her magic, she would be start her education in Claymore's mansion.

"I can see you peeking again, Rosé." A gentle voice heard from the side. Rosé tilted her head to saw her big brother smiled on her.

"Big brother Willhem!" She approached her big brother. "It has been two days since the last time I saw you at family's dinner."

Willhem Claymore scooped up his little sister in his arm. Then he asked, "What were you so curious looking at? Was it about the knights' training?"

Rosé gave a nod.

"Do you interested in knighthood?"

She once again nodded but also shook her head.

"What do you mean by that?" Willhem looked at his sister in amusement.

"I want to learn magic!" She answered.

Willhem rarely let out a smile except in front of his family, especially in front of this little sister of his who often gave him surprises at her actions or what was running inside her little head. But instead a smile, he let out a smirk on his lip this time. "Then show me what you can do right now."

After put down his sister, Willhem picked a medium size stone and place it in front of Rosé. Then, she lifted her hand and point her index finger to that stone. The stone immediately start to fly in the air. She put down her hand and the stone kept flying in the air. "How was it big brother?"

Willhem's expression looks astonished at his little sister's skill. Generally, people needed to enchant magic spell before they do magic, but his little sister didn't event say anything at all! Except you were an expert, then you didn't need to enchant magic spell!

Was this indicated that his little sister is a genius?!

"Boom!" She mimicked the sound of an explosion and suddenly the stone scattered into pieces.

This sudden move left Willhem speechless. He could not say anything else. Definitely, his little sister just now showing her another superb move for her only five years appearance.

"Big brother, isn't it interesting when you only could destroy elements but not a living creature? I just found that yesterday."

Once again, Willhem scooped up his little sister in his embrace. "Magic could create something amazing. It requires manna that produced in the user's body. When you could do something good for the environment, why you would harm the life? I believed it was because for the human not to be greedy about their abilities that they could not harm another life with direct magic like the one you used to that stone."

"But big brother, there was another thing I want to show you."

"What is it?"

Unfortunately, before Rosé could say anything, there were someone approached. It was one of the knights. "Greetings to Captain, greetings to young lady," the man in front of Willhem and Rosé was Willhem's trusted aid, Thomas Humprey. In the Claymore mansion, only Franches and Thomas knew Rosé's existence. Franches was picked from Willhem's best female squadron and the strongest of it. Since she transferred to become Rosé personal maid, there was her vice leader to replace her in the squadron. The leader position of female squadron still not clear until today, because Willhem only mention the vice leader to manage the team in Franches' absence.

Meanwhile, Thomas Humprey was the man who always stood on Willhem's right side at the battlefield. He was known for talented young man and the remaining member from Humprey's household. His parents were long gone, passed away at the battlefield. He used to had grandfather who took care of him whenever both his parents away, but one year ago, that ex-general of Zetas Kingdom passed away due to his ages. After that, Thomas was granted the title Earl from his grandfather and became the head of Humprey. Nonetheless, he was still young and his career as a knight began two years ago when he was 13 years old. It was his big advancement to became the First Team's Captain right hand man.

"His Majesty commanded you to show up at the court. It looked like it is the time to make strategy against Hackney Kingdom."

Willhem nodded then release his little sister. "Be good and wait until I comeback," He patted Rosé's head gently.

"Take care, big brother! Take care, sir Thomas!" Rosé looked at the direction where her big brother and Thomas go until they were vanished from sight. Then she dashed to the main mansion pass through the empty hallway.

.

Before Thomas went to notify Willhem to go to the court, the look-out knight, that the Emperor sent out from the Kingdom after heard the plans from Damon and the other strategists, finally comeback to report the Emperor.

"Blessing to the Emperor, may the land of Zetas granted with prosperity, Your Majesty, this humble servant has comeback to give a report," said the look-out knight.

"Speak." The Emperor expect of the information to matched with what he had heard from Damon, his young strategist.

"The Hackney' army stationed near the Revelon River and the cliff beside the river was very best spot to ambush them!"

Mars' heart was very pleased to hear that information. In the future, it looked like he needs further information about Damon's little sister who had guessed right about Hackney's plan in conquering Aldoa's mine. He would excitedly wait for another surprises from that little lady of Claymore In the future.
