I Don't Hate You (2/2)

After introducing the mixer converter, Tillie immediately let her beldum back while Tristan's beldum was sleeping on the sofa.

"One last thing, here" After a few minutes of explanation, he passed the notebook to her.

Tillie takes it and looks at him with a question on her face.

"The first volume is about my compilation and insight with the sword. There are also some basics that I wrote, especially the footwork and combination, you can take a look at it sometimes. There is also a 1 sword and 2 sword genres on it, give the 1 sword technique to Tiffany."

Tillie carefully opened some pages and take a look and after hearing her brother's explanation, she nodded.

"The second volume is my knowledge about beasts, assassination, and others, it's also important for your future survival."

Tillie nodded, she knew her eldest brother had survived the Black Region, and that was proof of how valuable the book she was holding.

"And lastly, take a look at the third volume"

Tillie immediately followed what he said and flipped to the third volume.

"Are you there?"

"Yes" Tillie nodded, the pages of this book were only a few, maybe only 30-40 pages all in all.

When she saw volume 3, she flipped one page and was confused because some of the words were cut off or incomplete whether horizontally or vertically angle.

Tristan knew what her confusion was so he took the book from her hand and then cut off the pages of volume 3.

Tillie was shocked about what he did, she thought he tear it but she was surprised by his following moves, he said to her "Follow what I will do next"

Tristan connected each page of it.

"Read it vertically from top to bottom and the reading style starts from left to right"

Tillie followed what he said and was surprised because the word was already arranged unlike before. She immediately became thrilled because the process of the third volume was so secretive like a hidden code, which means this volume part was really important otherwise her eldest brother will not make a design something like this.

She read the first pages on the left and she saw what was written on it, it is:

Thunder Breathing Method

Tillie didn't know what is breathing method but when she saw the name "Thunder", she knew it is somewhat related to the element, lightning, so, she looked at him and asked "Brother, I didn't yet awaken my element, I'm not sure whether I can be a 'lightning' user"

"Our parents were lightning users, I'm also, the same with the second and third child, are you doubting you cannot?"

"But, it, it's still not proven yet"

Tillie also studied this topic in their school, there is also some theory whether the element awakening of the person was related to genetics, and based on the report there's really a high percentage that reached 55% it's genetic, but even though it's high, they cannot explain the remaining 45% percentage, because there are also some circumstances that the child element was different and there's also awakening which was opposite to the element of their parents and it's also happened several times. There is also some theory that the awakening of the element was not only genetic but also based on the place and atmosphere you're adopting to, and the Rilello Continent is one of the proofs that it really is, but other than that continent, there are only 40%-50% it happens in another continent.

So, the situation of their family was really rare which all were lightning users, but although it's rare, it's still possible.

Tristan nodded because he knew her worries and said "So, it's better to practice it now so you can adapt and attract the lightning particles to your body."

He thought she has the genetics of her parents, and it was proven by him and his two siblings, so it's highly possible for a fourth child to acquire it plus this training method. If her element was still not lightning then he can only say she was unlucky.

"Brother where did you get this? I feel it's so strong" She asked her while reading the technique.

"It's the hidden inheritance of the family, father gave it to me" He lied.

Tillie's eyes lit up and excitedly asked: "So, we really have a deep heritage. I mean, our family?"

"Yes"

"I advised you other than your footwork and swordsmanship, you must pay close attention to this technique, much better if you go to the mountain and practiced it every day" Tristan changed the topic while collecting all the pages and gave it to her.

"Uhm" Tillie take it carefully and nodded.

"Give it to the third child and… also to the second child" He was hesitating if he will also share it with the second child because he already let go of his swordsmanship, but when he thought of Thunder Breathing, it seems it was also possible to the other genre, so he nodded: "Make sure to copy another two for them, and except for them, you cannot give it anyone. Tell to the second and third child once I heard them giving this technique to someone, I will not forgive them."

"Yes, eh, brother, I, I will take the original?" She asked with doubt.

"Yes… I will go now" Tristan nodded then look outside and said.

Tillie was surprised a bit then nodded. No wonder, he's teaching her in one go, giving her some instruction, because he will not stay here.

Although she understood it, she couldn't help but be disappointed.

"Give it to the third child"

While thinking, she saw him pass a sword with a blue sheath. She takes a look at it and exclaimed: "It's the father's sword!"

Then she looks at him and said: "Brother, I think, it's better if you use it for now because you're already an Expert"

Having the best weapon was a big significant improvement, especially in the higher stages. And a grade 5 sword was already qualified as one of the best, even though some crowns and kings only have a Grade 5, 6, and rarely Grade 7.

Grade 7 was already the top weapon, as for Grade 8, people don't know so much and Grade 9 was considered a legend, and don't know if this grade type really existed in the Retus.

Tillie thought that her third sister was still a freshman this year, she thinks, she didn't need this sword much compare to his eldest brother who was already an Expert today.

Tristan didn't explain but took his 'Snow Chaser' and pass it to her and said: "Take a look and open it"

Tillie immediately catch it and knew what he meant but she doubtfully opened it.

Silent.

She just feels a bit cold but other than that there was nothing different she looked at his eldest brother with confusion.

Tristan knew what she means then hurriedly took his 'Sandai Kitetsu' and passed it again to her. "How about this"

Tillie catches it and returns the 'Snow Chaser' to him then opened the sword in her hand then…

She felt shivered down her spine. She felt like imagining countless dark views or sometimes a blood, what the hell is this?

"What about it?" She only heard his brother's voice and she awaken. Her forehead was sweating, she was scared and immediately put it back into the sheath and returned it to him.

"It's just an illusion? It's so scary" Tillie said while wiping the sweat on her forehead.

"What about this?" Tristan smiled and immediately took the last sword from his waist and put it on the table in front of her.

Seeing his playful smile, Tillie became nervous and thought there must be something different about this last sword. She already knew that his brother really didn't need his father's sword since he had a unique sword.

She nervously touches the hilt but a few seconds later the sword was shaking, and she screamed: "Ahh" she let go of it.

"Now you know it"

"Yes, yes…" She already confirmed that his brother's sword was unique and more strange compared to their father's sword, and could be a 6 grade? She really couldn't think how did her brother get so many precious things; did he stumble into the Champion's Treasure? Maybe it is.

"Remember to pass it to the third child"

"Yes"

Tristan took the 'Wado Ichimonji' to his waist and stood up and walk towards the sleeping beldum and hug it in his hand, then he look at her and said: "If you enter the university, I will give a present for you"

It's not the time yet to give her the 'Dark Repulser' and 'Elucidator', because those two swords were really attractive that may cause danger to her, wait until after she goes to university.

Tillie was surprised again and thought 'there's still another?', Why is she getting many benefits right now? Actually, she was already surprised by his eldest brother's attitude right now and bit her lip and asked: "Brother, can I ask you something?"

"Okay, I will go no… eh? What is it?"

They happened to speak at the same time, so, Tristan asked her.

"Uhm, no, there's not… no, no, no, actually there is, I just, I just wanted to ask you why are you so, so good to… good to me?" She was hesitating at first but immediately asked her concern.

Hearing what she said, he looked at her.

"I thought you hated me because you know, I, I killed our mother. But, but now, I was really surprised, you talked to me, you guided me, you even gave me notes and contract beast, I, I almost don't recognize you. I feel, I feel, I'm dreaming right now. You know, you are really like a cool eldest brother right now, I just hoped, just hoped, it will never...…. You asked me before why I am always persistent, that, that's because, I always, always wanted to be… to be recognized and not… not to be hated. And I, I, I'm not a martyr huuu… hmm" She bowed her head and wiped her tears, she didn't dare to look at him, she was afraid everything will change again and back to the beginning.

She had countless thoughts this time if her brother will beat her again this time, he will go back as same as before, he will ignore her, he will...

But while thinking, she felt a hand patting her head and she heard his voice saying: "Don't worry, I don't hate you right now, the past me will not back, it will not back, I'm sorry for… eh?"

Tristan stopped talking and was surprised by his action. He suddenly thought of her as his beldum, damn it, he remembered everything he said and became embarrassed. He immediately turned his back away and said "I will go now!"

He needs to get away from this embarrassing situation. Then he rushed away while hugging the sleeping beldum on his arm.

He only heard a female voice shouting on his back saying: "Brother the gift you threw before, I collected it all in my room!"

On the other side, Tille was also surprised by his action then when she saw him running away she was stunned but soon she smiled, my eldest brother was a tsundere. Then she shouted, she hoped he will hear it.

She was really happy right now and then a few minutes later, she fell asleep.

But she didn't know in the middle of the night, there's a shadow appeared in her room taking all the gifts. As for the culprit, who knows? This case will forever remain hidden and a mystery.

October 7, NE176

Blue Region

Station 684, Kemusk City

Skyfall Heroes University

In the Training Field, the freshmen were suffering in this extreme training. But the good thing is, no one's giving up, it's worthy for these 37 people who passed the Elite qualification.

And all the seniors were also here guiding them sometimes and training with their peers.

And while training they suddenly heard a huge noise coming from the Headmaster's office, they even saw his silhouette activating his wind ability to run forward, they don't know where he was going.

Then a few minutes later…

Growl!

They heard the sound of a bird coming from the air, they knew who is it.

It's the contract beasts of Instructor Shiela.

They heard the news that Instructor Shiela went somewhere, they don't know about what happened in her sudden disappearance.

Then now, she appeared. All the seniors stopped what they were doing and look at it, even the freshmen were confused and also stopped and look at it.

Then they saw Instructor Shiela in front followed by the headmaster who disappeared earlier. He seemed talking to someone… who was he talking to?

They looked at it and then saw three people the one that the headmaster talking to was a young man wearing a black coat. His eye was cold and the seniors can feel his terrifying aura.

This guy?

Could it be…?

All of the seniors couldn't help but raised their eyebrows. They heard the previous report before. This guy should be…
