บท 8: Part 8
Hello all again and welcome back to my story. Once again thank you all for reading.
Cynthias POV
I saw the hand of the man with an aura so terrifying that it made me feel as if he stood on top of the world overlooking everyone as inferior, in a position to shake mine. After a second of calming myself down I returned the handshake.
"Hello mister...
"Sung-Jin woo, it's a pleasure to meet you" he said as I combed through my memories to find out who he is as the name hit me.
The only S rank adventurer on the continent that even the kings and queens of the various dynasties are wary of. After the brief introduction we sat back down and began talking as Sung Jin woo left the room to go see the others.
"Arthur" I said snapping his attention.
"Yes" he replied.
"What do you know of your uncle?" I asked.
"Well not much, although I know that he is very powerful and I have never being able to beat him. He hasn't aged in eight years as he looks the same from when I was young" he responded.
"When did you meet him?" I asked as I wanted to gather more information on this unknown powerhouse.
"After I formed my mana core when I was three I caused my house to explode which caught his attention after passing by and helped my parents and with the rebuilding of my house" he said.
An unknown powerful being that only appeared around ten years ago. I found this purely suspicious and went into an investigation as I wondered where he came from and who he was really. After a few minutes I heard Arthur calling out to me and I snapped back to what we were doing.
"Sorry Arthur I was distracted" I said.
Sung Jin woos POV
I left the room in which both Art and that woman were talking and went to visit the others. "Hey, I'm back" I said to the room full of Rey, Alice, Vincent, Tabitha, and the twin horns.
"Jin woo" they all said cheerfully at the same time as I walked in ant took a seat around the fire.
"We were just discussing what to do now that Arthur has finished his adventuring" Rey said.
"I still think that he should stay at home for the time being until leaving for xyrus academy" Alice said with a pout.
"We talked about this, Arthur is a genius that requires training so he can continue to grow stronger" Vincent said.
"He's a child though, what more training could he use than what he already gets with Rey" Alice interjected which sent them all into thought again.
After a brief moment of silence and through a debate in my head I sighed and decided something that could go one of two ways. Either he ends up stronger or I break him. "I'll train him" I said causing everyone to look at me in shock.
"Hmmm... that does seem the most plausible solution due to how powerful you are" jasmine said.
"Oh by the way, what rank are you Jin woo" Adam asked causing everyone to look at me again intently as I had never told them before.
I rummaged in my pocket and brought out my adventurer license that had my rank on it and placed it on the table, to which they all looked at it with their jaws dropped in horror.
"T-t-this r-r-rank, that, that's impossible right" Helen said as they turned to see me with a cheerful face as Vincent fainted.
"Y-y-yes then it seems that you are the perfect person to train him" Alice said with a pale face as she understood how highly the requirements are for each rank and how there hasn't been an S rank adventurer in Dicathen in hundreds of years.
"Excellent then I'll start right away" I said with a smile as they all could imagine what hellish training he would endure.
"Don't worry as well, I'll make sure to return him in one peace" I said as Alice was speechless and Rey almost passed out.
I left the room with my card back in my hand and made my way to the room where Arthur and that women was. Bringing me back to that women I noticed a peculiar energy on here that wasn't from this continent. I decided that I'll look at it later. Also I would need a place to train him so had my soldiers locate an island that was perfect for training until they found one. I entered the room catching the attention of then both as they looked at me.
"Uncle Jin woo, what are you doing here?" Arthur asked.
"It's been decided that I'll be training you until you go to xyrus academy" I said returning to my usual emotionless face as I could see Arthur's face pale at the thought of what he would go through
"You don't look excited, is something the matter?" I said chuckling that sent shivers down both of their spines.
"N-n-naturally I-I'm v-v-very excited" Arthur said trying to reduce the mental issues going through his head.
"Great, then we'll leave right away, wouldn't want to waste any time" I said with a faint smile on my face that gave Arthur no room to retaliate as he nodded and left his seat.
"Wait!" Cynthia shouted.
"Is there a problem, director goodsky?" I said maintaining my smile as her face paled under the pressure I exhibited.
"I was wondering if I could spar with you first, as I had never fought an S rank adventurer before" she said.
"Oh are you sure?" I asked.
"Yes" she responded without any hesitation.
"Very well then, come along" I said as she followed after me whilst Arthur ran off, presumably to get the rest.
We entered the training area and got on either side as we were ready to begin until we heard hurried footsteps. We looked and saw a pale Vincent running at top speed towards us with the others in tow.
"Please don't do this here you'll destroy the entire mansion" he pleaded.
"Very well then" I said snapping my fingers as a square shield appeared surrounding the training area.
"This shield will stop our attacks from destroying the surrounding area, so can we start now" I explained lazily.
"Y-y-yes" Vincent said after being struck with confusion.
Everyone else stayed outside the shield watching. I noticed Arthur watching intently as to photograph the battle in his mind. I then only realised the mana coalescing around Cynthia and saw four tornados coming at me fast.
Cynthias POV
As I got ready to start I noticed that my opponent was looking away as I began to form four powerful tornados and throw them at him. As they sped at him I saw them disappear after reaching a certain distance as he took a step forward.
I hurriedly formed even more tornados and threw them out consecutively only to watch them all dissipate a few meters away from him as he continued walking. I then changed my strategy and activated my beast will and create a powerful story that rained lighting down on him. This must hit him, I thought only to find that it proved useless as he continued walking.
I began to get careless as I then looked into his eyes, eyes that created an entrance to an abyss of death and destruction. I could see rows upon rows of black monsters that seemed almost endless. Who the hell is he?!!! I screamed in my head as I was brought out of that abyss and collapsed on the ground covered in sweat with a pale face.
3rd person POV
As the fight came to a close the spectators asked themselves what happened after the aftermath of the storm created a smoke layer that took its time to disappear. They waited anxiously, only to see the director on the floor with a pale face and covered in sweat whilst Jin woo only moved a few steps forward.
The barrier around the grounds collapsed as they rushed to director goodsky to make sure she was okay, unexpectedly she fainted. They took her inside to a bed as Arthur and Jin woo stayed outside.
Sung Jin woo POV
I noticed the look on Arthur's face and asked him what was wrong.
"Just how powerful are you?" He asked.
"Dunno" I replied honestly as I never have the chance to use my powers to their fullest, normally I would dispatch my shadows and the enemy went down easily.
"Sigh... couldn't you have gone easier on her though" he said.
"I did though" I said.
He looked at me with his jaw dropped whilst I tried to get his attention back. "By the way we'll be leaving soon so say goodbye to your family" I said reminding him of the training to which he sighed again and walked back in the house.
After an hour of goodbyes and promises to make sure I wouldn't go to far we reached the front door as everyone was looking out, including director goodsky who looked better than before.
"Don't worry mom I'll be alright" Arthur reassured his mom as I waited for him.
"Don't go to far art" Rey said as they looked at me, basically telling me to keep him safe.
"Ready to go?" I said looking at him walking towards me whilst everyone waved goodbye.
"Yep, but where will we be training" he asked
"A surprise" I said before encompassing him in my mana before, under the shocked gaze of everyone there, turned into a black light and flew off into a certain direction.
Arthur's POV
I could feel his mana surrounding me as I looked at him in confusion before being lifted into the air and flying through it at high speeds. We left the border of the city in a few seconds and everyone underneath was a blur as sped passed the southern area of the continent until we reached the ocean.
It hit me that this special training was not going to take place on this continent as I looked at the monster in front of me with horror in my eyes. After a few minutes of flying we began to slow down until I could see an island in-front of us that seemed to be shielded in some kind of mist.
We reached the island and touched down and I saw the jungle filled island that had high amounts of mana and an unknown energy as well that I couldn't sense. I turned around to see uncle Jin woos aura fluctuating as a barrier emerged from him again that shielded the island. I felt the same feeling that came about when Silvia stopped time, yet this felt much more powerful and also as if time hadn't really stopped but slowed. I noticed that although this was the case I could still move normally which made me happy.
"Right then, in the normal world you would have a year left before going to xyrus yet here that time has turned into 5 years, meaning that you will become stronger than possible in this place" he said as I went into total shock.
"In this time I will train your physical body to the limit every day without using your mana and also your sword techniques and in the second half of our time I'll train your mana to become more adept at using it" he said breaking me out of my shock.
"Won't it be weird if I came back five years older as opposed to one" i said.
"Relax, your age won't change in this domain" he said.
After a few minutes of adjusting to this new information I began to get my motivation as I thought about why I was becoming stronger and who for. I regained my confidence and was ready to tackle on whatever was faced at me.
"When do we start?" I asked with fiery eyes that exuded the desire for strength.
"Now" he said as he pointed at my abdomen and I felt it being chained and sealed.
"For our first part of the day do 100 push ups, 200 curl ups, 100 squats and a 10km run. You have 5 hours" he said with his cheerful smile.
"Ah shi...
