Chapter 3 - Time flies

 

Since Kyota hid him from his sister and cut off his time with her, he was punched in the face more times than he could count, and since he couldn't reveal his power, he stayed still and got punched.

Evening, his mother asked, 'Kyota, my little boy, how did you get injured so badly? Are you alright?'

She started casting healing magic.

While Kyota kept silent, his father said, 'That's my boy, not even crying after getting beat up. You will be a fine man, son.' He smiled.

In his mind, Kyota said, 'Having a family is great.'

His sister started to dig in, and his mother responded

'Not so soon, young lady, first take a bath.'

Kyota laughed while his mother again said, 'Should I ask you specially, mister?' Even father kept his silence.

After Kyota took his bath and dinner, he went to the roof with his new magic book and tried incantation. Kyota found that the magic book he has in his hand right now contains a few forbidden spells to release his mana nature. He realized the book he had in his hand was his mother's, and he mistook it because he thought it was the one given by his mother to him.

Still, Kyota cast the incantation,

 Mana absorption, extended elemental combination, multiple blades. Summon hell slayers'

He managed to summon millions of rings of blades of all 5 supreme elements, the night sky was just as bright as a day, every mage, including those from the ones in the capital, started to feel an immense aura from an isolated region. But suddenly Kyota felt exhausted and fell down while the casted magic slowly started to fade away. When his parents came out, they saw Kyota lying on the ground and had a severe fever. Kyota's father took him in his hands and went inside. While his mother thought, How did he fall from that height?

She went inside and told him to rest. She got out of the room with a confused mind while Ayame came downstairs and asked her.

'What's wrong, mother?'

Aqua replied that 'it was nothing, dear. Now go to bed and get some sleep.

She still thought about what that immense aura was. Surely it's not Kyota's since mana absorption cannot be increased, and that was twice as immense as that when he touched the sphere back then.

Raito came in and said, 'You can keep your researcher brain later, now get some sleep already. ' She asked him, 'Didn't you feel strange about that aura? 'Raito replied, 'Sure, I did, but come to think of it, Kyota managed to use crystal when he was two years old, it's impossible that such events take place. We must find what's behind it all. But let it slide this once.

They both agreed and went to their room.

The next morning, Kyota was fully energized and started his same routine.

His father said in his mind that, 'it's quite unusual for a boy of age 3 to do his morning routines. It seems like he is a mature adult. Nah, no way's going to happen.

Kyota and Ayame were called by their father to have a little training with him that morning.

Ayame responded, 'Let's do it' with a full spirit.

While Kyota felt it was a little suspicious. Still, he agreed as his sister never stopped bragging about it.

First, they were asked to fight each other, and since Kyota knew he was only three, and if he stood out too much, it's going to be suspicious. So Kyota failed it purposefully and got hit on his head.

But for Kyota, he fell for it, his father smiled at him and asked him in a low voice,

 'How did you manage to hold your sword perfectly for a defensive position?'

Kyota responded, 'From your training, father.'

Raito asked him,

'You sure, cause that was not my style. '

 It was at this moment he realized that he screwed up by showing him the position that he used to do in Kendo at school.

His father again said, 'You have been working hard lately, I can see you dogged her attack and still pretend to be injured'.

Kyota thought in his mind, 'No wonder they used to call him lightning slayer, even though he had no lightning attribute at all. His reaction time and skills are nothing to be questioned. No wonder he was in the royal guards of the capital.

When Kyota entered his house after training, he noticed his mother was searching for something.

Kyota asked her, "What are you searching for, mother?"

'It's a paper that contains something really important to me. But it's nothing to worry about.

Kyota was invited by his sister to play again, and he went with her to an open field with only one tree at the center. The climate was very clear and had no sign of rain.

Ayame asked Kyoto 'Come on, let's race, Kyota. I want to see your face with that expression when you lose.

Kyota smiled 'Let's race'

Kyota lost that race just like on other days. Unfortunately, it was not because he didn't want to. Rather, he felt a dark mana that was gathering around the forest. He asked her to race again, but to the mountain opposite to forest, and the first one to get there would have a special prize.

She started to run fast, using the wind magic to give an extra push like all the other races of her.

Kyota ran into the forest to find a B-rank monster killing other creatures. He struggled a bit and found that the stone in its head helps it to regenerate itself. He started to run and trapped the monster between two trees, and he used his mana to charge a stone bullet with a fire spell, making magma, and he pushed it with wind magic, making a huge explosion and killing that monster. 

'I must hurry, let's get this show started,' he said to himself

He used the wind to boost his speed at the same time using earth magic to reduce the friction, and when he got close to his sister, he started to rely on his muscles but lost to her with just 1 1-second time gap. He accepted his loss, and they both looked at the same view; they looked the most.

And she said, 'See the structure there, it's the Northern Magic Academy. In two more years and I will be going there.

Out of nowhere, Kyoto started crying, his tears dropping over his cheeks, even though he didn't want to cry.

She smiled, 'Don't cry, we will meet again after I turn sixteen, that is why I try to spend a lot of time with you now. '

'Now let's get going,' she smiled.

Kyoto smiled back, thinking she had matured.

They started to head back. The next morning, it was something special. Kyoto spent his four years in that new world, he was welcomed to the new day with a big birthday party.

Kyota thought in his mind, 'It's been four years already, isn't it, Kaito? No, it's Kyota now. It's me, Kyota Yoru.

It was a day filled with happiness. Kyoto smiled and got up he was given his favorite breakfast and asked to go out and play. He went to the village and started looking at the stores, houses, neighbors, and fields. After admiring the beauty of the world and thinking of forgetting his past.

That evening, when he got home, a large feast was waiting for him. He was really happy and shed tears of joy. His father hugged him and gave him a sword, which was heavy but very sharp. His mother gave him an enhancement stone, and his sister gave him an enchantment spell on the sword.

He was surprised and asked, 'What is enchantment?' Mother replied, 'It's a secondary skill that can be learned by anyone. And it does not require specific elemental power. At the same time, enhancement is a booster for mana.'

They celebrated as if there was no tomorrow. All were very happy until Raito's friend showed up and congratulated him at the same time, telling his family soldiers from the royal capital are here for 'NI-YAIBA'.

Raito said, 'Don't worry, I will manage it. '

The next day was also similar to the rest of Kyota's life, but he had a duel with his sister with only raw blade strength. Kyota lost even though he tried hard. His sister complimented him on his strength, and they started a duel again, but the second one lasted till evening. It was about to get dark. Ayame asked what was going on there and pointed at their house.

Kyota was surprised to see what happened there.
