Chapter 18

" Are you fucking insane?!!! " Oliva screamed at Elden.

After Eldens ' training ' Olivia was greeted to the corpses of the nearly dead trio of 12 year old mages.

She immediatly placed them down and observed them before healing them. Luckily they needed food and rest to recover since her drugs fixed all the important parts.

As for how they got this way, that would be because of of Elden torture training.

" Relax they are alive. Besides I had already taken into account on what they could handle and made them push past their limits. Besides they just need food and rest. What's the problem? "

" Mars came in with broken arms, Fana had broken her ribs and Ladros had a mild concussion. Care to explain? " Olivia asked with a deadpan expression with eyes holding back the immense fury to tear Elden a new one.

Elden flinched a little as he looked at her.

" Yeah those were from the spar. "

...

" Sigh, Just go. They will be fine in the morning. "

" Great thanks. "

Elden them left as Olivia pinched the sides of her nose.

" So how are the kids holding up? "

Olivia turned her head to the side to see Karasuma as he walked towards her.

" They will be fine but he really should go easy on them. They just went through the initiation after all. "

" True but they are fine. While they are hurting from the experience they also know they can't get their friends back. "

" True. This capital is quite weird isn't it. "

" You're not wrong. The other kids did have potential somewhere in those groups. Besides most them wee also good guys for the kingdom. Either way I'm going to talk to them."

" Hmm sure. I'll go get myself something to eat. "

Karasuma headed inside as Olivia left for the kitchen.

Karasuma went to the kids as he saw them on their beds, groaning from the pain, wishing for the suffering to end.

" You kids look like shit. "

That got the attention of three.

" No kidding old man. That guy is a slave driver. " Ladros said.

" True. Yet at the same time I feel like I'll get stronger. " Fana said with a groan. Mars let out a grunt at that.

" You will after all I was the one who taught him. "

Fana, Ladros and Mars slowly turned their heads to look at Karasuma and stared at him.

...

" What??!!! " They yelled.

" You were the one who created that insane bastard!! " Ladros yelled.

" Nope. He was already insane when I meet him. I just helped him and then I created the monstrosity that tortured you. "

" And yet we can't help but admire him. " Mars said.

" Admire??!! Are you serious??!! " Ladros yelled.

Mars just looked at him.

" Think about it you dumbass. That guy is a captain at 15. He probably went through something similar to us yet made it out. Plus he literally defeated us without even trying. "

" Yep. " Fana said agreeing with Mars.

" Tch. That guy just got lucky. " Ladros said. Karasuma just smiled at them.

" You kids will do fine. He's a great guy and strong to. You'll learn well under him. "

"Can you tell us some stories about him? " Fana asked.

" Why do you want to know??!! " Ladros yelled at her.

" So your a telling me you are not the least bit curious about how he was when he was our age? " Fana asked while looking at him.

" Tch. "

" Thought so. " Fana said in cheerful tune.

" Well then let's start with the first story. ' Beat the ever living shit out of him as training. ' " Karasuma said.

" I'm going to love this story. " Ladros said.

" Same. " Fana said while Mars nodded his head.

" So you were spotted? "

" Yes my king. "

Fox bowed in front of the king as she gave her sport about what she saw.

" Was he suspicious? "

" Yes. He was surprised that I had arrived and asked why o was there. He asked questions and tried to see if I was lying. "

" I see. Did he showcase any new abilities to watch out for? "

" Yes my king. "

" Explain. "

" The first one was similar to when he stopped the attack from Mars in the examination. "

" I see. He used it again. "

" Yes. However it would seem it affects people from every angle. The three kids attacked him from all sides and he used that to break their spells and managed to blow them back. "

" Hmm. Alright are there any more? "

" Yes. The other is the ability to reposition objects. Mars attacked with a volley of arrows from clones made of crystal.

As they were about to reach him the arrows disappeared and reappeared above the clones as they took them down. "

" I see. That's quite troublesome. You may go now. "

Fox then leaves as the king closes his eyes as he begins to think.

' From what Fox described his abilities are top notch. That pushing spell he used us extremely acting as an attack and a defence.

Then the teleporting. He is already incredibly strong with just those 2 but what if he is still holding back.

I'll have to be on gaurd. He is a threat if he tries to attack the kingdom just like the other captains. I mist prepare just in case.'

Fox walked down the halls as she made no noise.

' He is interesting. The other captain's usually have serious expressions on their faces while some hold an air of arrogance but he doesn't. Well that and it's easier to have a conversation with him.

Sigh though I do have to admit that talking to him on the way back from his test was enjoyable.

Maybe I can speak to him again, though I have to make sure i don't get spotted. '

Fox then entered her room. It was a small room with juts the necessities as she made dinner, ate it and went to bed.

Meanwhile,

" Tch. Another failed attempt. "

Elden opened his eyes as he looked at the shy above him. Without the city lights he could see the stars easily and it still amazed him.

' Sigh i still havent been able to get mana zone. 19 days in and still a failure. It will be 20 soon.

How did they do it in the show? Tch I'll have to try again. '
