Evening
Morgan Estate Courtyard
Many people can be seen gathering around the courtyard. The reason for this is because they heard that their young master, Zack is going to spar with the three Chief Butler; Alfred, Sebastian and Alberto.
They mainly come just to watch Zack fighting since all of them knew how strong he was. Zack occassionally had a sparring match with the Chief Butler when he was young.
They even knew that he is a hidden trump card hold by the country. This was since the President of U.S.A Ability User Management Bureau had personally came to met him when he was young. Based on that, they could guess that their young master is probably among the top ability user in S-Class.
In the middle of the courtyard, Zack is surrounded by three middle-aged man. All of them are B-Class. Alfred with Master Guardian ability while Sebastian with Expert Spearmanship.
All of them using weapons that match their ability. Alfred with his sword and shield, Sebastian with a long spear and Alberto with a longsword. All of their blade are dull as this was just a spar.
Zack only wears a casual shirt and pants while on his hand, a training sword. His Weapon Master skill helps him to utilize his weapon to their maximum potential, even with a training sword.
All of them stand without making any movement, though their pressure are enough to suffocate everyone present. When a leaf blow by a wind pass by, as if on cue, Alfred rush to attack with his shield.
Zack with an agile movement, avoid the attack. Suddenly, a long spear come attacking the place that Zack just move to. Seeing this attack, he use his sword to parry the spear, and use the momentum from the spear getting parried to counterattack.
But then, a long sword swinging from a dangerous position, aiming for his waist. Zack quickly jumps backward to avoid the swing but Alfred predict this and bash his shield there. Having no choice, Zack chose to endure the bash and counterattack by sweeping Alfred's leg.
Sebastian saw the chance to attack Zack, so he swing his spear downwards. Zack quickly rolled backwards to avoid it, but saw another deadly swing from Alberto heading for him. With a quick judgement, he used his sword to block the attack.
Meanwhile, Alfred saw Alberto and Sebastian besieging Zack, he then quickly went to attack Zack from the back. Once again, he used his shield to bash Zack. Unfortunately, Zack could already saw his plan.
So, when he did the shield bash, Zack purposely let Alberto and Sebastian to attack him aggressively and back down little by little. Just when Alfred arrived behind him, Zack jump while having his leg use the shield as the propeller to launch him forward.
With a quick motion, he use his sword to tap Alberto and Sebastian head while being airborne. After he land, he rush back to Alfred with a quick burst and bash his shield. This action stun Alfred, giving Zack the opportunity to sweep him and land the sword on his neck.
Applause fill the courtyard.
"Excellent, young master."
"Nice move, young master."
"Don't worry Alberto, Alfred and Sebastian. It is not you are weak. It is just young master is too strong."
Cheers sounded from the audiences. They greatly enjoy watching the spar. Zack just smiled hearing this. Then, he put his hand out to help Alfred get up from the ground. He also did the same with the others.
"I see your cooperation are still as good as ever. In a group, I would say you guys could probably beat an A-Class ability user. Though, individually, my guess is you can just hold for a few minutes in front of them."
"Thank you for your praise, young master. We will strive hard to become stronger." Alfred replies
"No worries, no worries. Let's do this again tomorrow. Other than having gain battle experience, it could also help you guys breakthrough A-Class faster."
"Then, we thank you in advance for your willingness to train us." Sebastian replies.
With the spar ends, all the audiences disperse to continue their work.

That Night,
Living Room, Morgan Estate.
When his sisters both had gone to sleep, Zack make his way to the living room to have a chat with his father. When he arrive there, he saw his father and mother are having leisurely time, watching the drama on the television.
"Dad, I have something to discuss with you."
Zack has two form of addressing his father. First which is Old Man, which he usually uses and when he was fighting or joking with his father. The other one is Dad, which he usually uses when he had something to discuss.
Richard heard the way his son address him, so he replies in a serious tone. Theresa also heard him, so she lower the volume of the television so that both of them could discuss easier.
"What do you want to discuss?"
"You know that I return here just for a visit. But there is another reason I came back which is I planned to venture into another business here."
"What type of business do you mean?"
"Guild."
Hearing his son answer, Richard fell into a deep thought.
Guild.
An independent organization which gather ability users to helps clear dungeons. Usually, a Guild is supported by a large business owner. In this way, these business owners could get a part of valuable item from the dungeon. It is a win-win situation for both the ability users and business owners.
For example, America had three large guild; Hunters Guild, Dragon Guild and Knight Guild. Each of the the guild is supported by his acquaintances. They sometimes even brag about the guild that they supported whenever they had a gathering.
"Why did you want to venture into this kind of business?" Richard asked.
