章 4: Chapter 4: Journey to the Royal Capital
A month has passed since the day of the annual assessment. Kraftvoll started training under the tutelage of Stark.
Like all the youth under Stark, Kraftvoll didn't get any special treatment despite his talent.
The training started with the usual stories narrated by stark, "Battles are not won through sheer force, a Low General can defeat a Mid General with the right strategy. Remember to always think before taking any action in a fight."
Stark continued to tell the story, "All of us know that in the last Interracial War, many lives have been lost in the Krieg Verwustet. A simple mistake can lead to death during wars. That's why, we, seishin practitioners, must be able to come up with good strategies to win or at the very least to survive."
"Okay, that's enough stories. Let's get started! Go to your respective group element. Kraftvoll, come here!" The youth started to move to their group and Kraftvoll went to Stark.
"You have the affinity in all elements, you can divide your training regime. Since we have six days of training every week, you can train in the different elements in each day. But of course, you can choose an element to focus on. It's your call."
"I think I will.. " before saying his decision a man suddenly shouted, "His Lordship the Earl has arrived!"
Everyone in the plaza bowed, "Greetings, Your Lordship"
Stark rushed to the Earl, "Your Lordship, what brings you here?" The Earl replied, "Is the boy who has affinities to all the elements here? I want to meet him." "Just wait a minute, Your Lordship."
"KRAFTVOLL!! COME HERE!" His shout resounded in the whole plaza. His shout startled Kraftvoll that made him run to his direction.
"Greetings, Your Lordship!" Kraftvoll greeted.
The Earl asked Kraftvoll a question, "Are you the one who is assessed to have affinities in all of the elements?"
"Yes, Your Lordship!" Kraftvoll replied.
"The event of your assessment reached the ears of His Majesty, the King. He was fascinated and astounded about your assessment. Because of that, you are summoned by His Majesty the King to his Feuersturm Castle. You must come with me to the Royal Capital, Stolz City." the Earl stated.
Kraftvoll was flabbergasted. He realized just now how big of a deal is the result of his assessment. "Please let me just tell my parents about this, Your Lordship."
"Make haste, we don't want the King waiting for us."
Kraftvoll quickly ran into his house to tell his parents about the king's summon to him. Even though he knew that his parents would not object to this, he wants them to at least know about it.
"Father, Mother, the king has summoned me to the royal capital. The Earl and I will be going to Feuersturm Castle."
"I see... The news of your assessment reached even the ears of His Majesty, the King. You will be safe within the protection of the Earl. He's our town's most powerful expert." Kraftvoll's father reminded him carefully.
"Good luck on your journey, son. Take care of yourself in your journey." Kraftvoll's mother worriedly said.
"Thank you father, mother." He smiled as he said this. And he quickly went to the Earl for their journey because the one waiting for them in the capital is the King himself.
'Oh boy, I only hope the king offers us his protection until that son of mine reaches the peak of his potential. It's only a matter of time before the enemies' alliance makes a move.' Kraftvoll's father mumbled to himself.
A hint of a smile can be seen in the face of the Earl as he sees Kraftvoll walking from his home. "There you are, boy! Let's start our journey to the royal capital!"
"Yes, Your Lordship!" Kraftvoll replied.
