"Tell me what happened?" After taking the tea, it actually helped calm down the old woman. However, she really was curious.

"It seems to be {Shadow Movement}, the one he used to go behind you. But I really don't know how you got unconscious."

'Shadow Movement? So that shadowline was for that? A clever way to get close'. One of the tactics of fighting long range skills is to get near the user then incapacitate them early.

"Then why are you letting him beat up his brothers like that?"

"Well, Lady Jennifer, they were just training. My son would never harm his brothers. In fact, every morning, they would always attack Arthur and he would just defend. We also reprimanded them at first, but the twins insisted that they were getting better so we just let them be."

"Are you not afraid that they would sustain serious injuries? And how the hell could you call that getting better? They were blasted away like toys."

"Lady Jennifer my nephews are always like that every morning after practice. But they are fine and just exhausted, besides the potions they are taking would be digested better this way."

Christian's ears perked up when he heard the word 'potion'.

He has been tracking down potion recipes ever since he proposed of selling herbs. One could say that among low level potions, he should be able to memorize atleast eighty percent.

"Potion? What kind of potion? Where did you buy it?"

"Arthur made it. He just requested some herbs from us and some tools."

"What are you doing? Why are you giving him so much leeway?"

Jennifer really can't understand. Potions that can quickly raise up the rank of a hybrid contains many different combinations of herbs and the preparations needed for that are mind is overwhelming. How can a kid like so young handle that?

"I understand your concern, Lady Jennifer, but Marty and I will believe Arthur, because he deserves it. He already told us his plans, and since he came back, everything that he did is to reach it. Also, even if he weren't here, we would also request you to train Dylan and Skye..."

"Invictus Academy! You want all of them to go there?"

The Invictus Academy is the only academy present and available for both the Flordelain and Baleon Kingdom.It is ranked no.25 of all the academies and military institutions all over the Saint Paul Continent.

Lylia and Leo went to this Academy two years ago, but they were supported by the Devon family. As such, they were really not counted as Zell family's contribution.

A child entering the Academy signifies the capability of the family he or she came from. The reputation and fame he receives will directly affect his/her family. In the off chance that a family of a noble lineage or a business family, it signifies the decline of such family. No one will come aboard a sinking ship.

"Mister Chris, Lady Jennifer, we are not reckless about this. Just stay and observe for a while. I think Arthur is planning for the three of them to participate in upcoming city tournament. No one should beat them."

"Ohh, Marty ... you are very sure about this. You are telling us that in the upcoming city competition, our city will lose to Sunstone city? You do remember that we also have participants in our Range family right?"

"Of course, but we have Arthur".

Chris became silent with Marty's answer. His grandson actually knocked out his wife with ease. That in itself is a praiseworthy achievement on his book.

"Why don't we match up Arthur and his brothers to our representatives? We brought Alyssa, Kevin, Harold and Khristine for sightseeing, it will be no problem to convince them to a friendly match. Atleast one of them would be chosen as our city representatives. Four vs three, you should have no problem with that right?"

Arthur was his grandson, but Jennifer will not take a loss. Also, she wants to see the skill that beat her senseless.

Marty, on the other hand, is contemplating whether to accept the provocation. It is not that he was not sure if they could win, but even four persons may not be equal for Skye and Dylan's combination, not to mention Arthur taking action. He attended almost every morning practice for the past month, and he was happy with the twin's development. But whatever they do, they could never land an attack and their attacks always comes back to them. It is easy to say that Arthur is in a level all on his own.

"What is this, Marty? You are so confident just a while ago, are you chickening out right now?"

If this was another time, Marty would certainly agree but he was not sure if Arthur would do it as he was trying to be low-key for now.

"It is alright brother. Lady Jennifer, I will agree on behalf of my sons. I just hope that this match will not break the family bonds that we have but further enrich it. Whoever wins this will always be family."

"Of course my dear young Jeremy. This old man will promise. I am also quite interested in this grandson of mine. Say, what skill seed did he harmonize with as his main skill?"

Both Jeremy and Marty know nothing about that and they too are curious. There are some guesses but they could never tell that two these two old couple.

"Well, you can just see it later on, right?? We will hold the match later this afternoon. I will prepare the things needed."
