Sister's anger

Morning arrived, marking the end of our little trip. The carriage was ready, and in front of it, my sister engaged in conversation with the head of the Branch family, while Olivia stood beside her father, admiring Evangelion.

"Yo! Guess it's time to leave, sister. Let's go," I said, dragging her back to the carriage.

'Why is this brat always interfering when I am about to have some important talk, hmph,' my sister thought.

"Wait, Orion. He was about to give some goodbye gifts, you know, sweets and chocolates as a sign of honor."

"I don't get why you girls are so obsessed with these. If I were a burglar, I would've long kidnapped you."

"Want to try? Not sure you will return home in one piece."

"No, nope. You can continue your conversation while I talk to Olivia right over there."

I approached Olivia. "Hey, did you read the stuff that I gave you to read?"

Olivia stood there stunned and oblivious to my words, starting to tear up.

"Hey, don't worry. Even if you didn't read it, it's okay. But remember to read it, okay?"

Her tears started dripping. "Did you eat all the chocolate and are now out of it?"

"Idiot ahhhhh ahhhhhh," she started crying aloud.

"Orion, what are you doing out there, bullying little girls?"

"Oh, I didn't do anything. She just started crying, uhm..."

"I don't want your explanation. Come on, let's go; it's getting late."

"Okay, bye then, Olivia," but Olivia continued to cry. Just as I was about to board the chariot, something grabbed my hoodie.

"Take this, Orion, and promise that you'll come to see me." Olivia held a small bracelet made of colorful rocks.

"Fine, snotty Olivia."

"Youuuu," her face flushed with embarrassment.

I took it and left, thinking, 'Huh, girls are really complicated creatures.' We were now in the carriage, returning home.

"Orion, what was that about?" my sister asked, pointing to my bracelet.

"Oh, this? This is a gift from Olivia. Cute, isn't it?"

"Hmph, you never complimented me when I brought you the space ring."

"But I already had one. Besides, why are you so angry about such small things?"

"Oh, small things, is it? Have you fallen in love, Orion?"

"Nah! How can that be?" I whistled, looking at the windows. "Isn't the scenery serene?"

"Orion, that is a graveyard, and if you dare to ignore me, you're going to find underneath the graveyard. Don't worry; I'll bury you two feet deep."

"Sister, why are you so stingy about this topic? Can't you just let it go?"

"I'm just worried about your future, Orion. Due to my talent, you might be used as a political tool, and I don't want that to happen. But I don't have the power to face father. So, wait until I become strong enough to protect you. Then you can do all these lovey-dovey acts of yours."

'She isn't as oblivious to things as I thought she was. She understands her position as a potential heir and is even willing to help me. Quite a loving sister that I have here.'

"Fine! Besides, we are just friends."

"Yeah, yeah. But remember, brother, 'Strength above anything.' That's how the world works. Even I can't protect you from the dangers. So, from tomorrow, I'll start your official training in the family's swordsmanship technique."

'Oh! Better hurry up my flow state training, or else my schedule might get clashed. Might as well inform master that I won't be able to come again tomorrow as well.'

After hours of traveling in the chariot and dozens of *rainbow water* coming out of my mouth, I passed out.

"Sigh, brother, you aren't even able to endure a few hours in the carriage. It's funny to wonder how you'll survive on the ship while traveling to the academy."

'Shitty chariots. I wish this world had a car, maybe an airplane. But no, these morons have researched magic for so long; then why don't they just invent something similar to those, huh?'

"Well, good night, sister. I'm gonna go back to my room."

"Yeah, good night to you too," and then she left.

"Guess I should inform master about my arrival." I went back to the cave, running through the forest.

*Cough* *Cough* "Guess I underestimated this body's vitality. *Cough* " Master was coughing up blood while holding his heart.

"Master, what happened?"

*Cough* "I'm really sorry, Orion. I won't be able to see your rise, but don't worry. I'll be watching over you even after my death. *Cough*"

"I don't have much time, boy. I will have to force open your aura meridians. The training techniques of mine were primarily meant for the basic foundations of the *flow technique*. It also helped you to increase your endurance."

"Remember, Orion, aura, unlike magic, doesn't need talent. You know what true aura looks like, boy."

Violet radiations started emerging from the old man. My whole body fell dead. Every strand of my body stood tall. "Boy, this is my aura. I call it 'obsidian.' It is one of the most potent auras you can ever create. Aura, in the third stage, gains consciousness according to what your will is. That's it, my boy; the stronger your will is, the stronger will be your aura."
