After ten minutes, the carriage arrived at the main house of the Xing Clan."Tsunade, we have arrived", said Gurasu as he touched the head of Tsunade.
"One more minute", said Tsunade who was still comfortably laying her head on Gurasu"s shoulder.
"Let us go now…..You could do this more after I talked to your mother", said Gurasu.
"Fine", said Tsunade who reluctantly moved her head from Gurasu"s shoulder. Both of them came out of the carriage and went inside the house of Xing Clan.
"Do you like my house", said Tsunade.
"Yes, it is very unusually big...haha", said Gurasu with a chuckle at the end. Tsunade just pouted at his response.
"Then what about the royal palace then?", said Tsunade.
"Well...The royal palace has to be big…. It has to show people the wealth and how grand the royal family of the Chlos Kingdom is", said Gurasu with a grin.
"You just made that reason up didn"t you", said Tsunade who knew that Gurasu"s answer was just bulls.h.i.t.
"Hey...I might be right or wrong….I am not the one who built the royal palace...If you want the answer, go talk to the ones who built it", said Gurasu shrugging his shoulders. The moment Gurasu finished what he said, they arrived at Tsunade"s mom"s room.
Tsunade knocked on her mom"s door. Nadine opened the door and saw her daughter and her fiance.
"So you guys finally came", said Nadine with a smile. Nadine resembled Tsunade a lot including having blond hair.
"Hi there mom", said Tsunade.
"h.e.l.lo there...Mother in law", said Gurasu. When Nadine heard this, she couldn"t help but get annoyed at the word "Mother in law".
"Don"t call me mother in law…..It sounds like we are not close to each other….Just call me Mother", said Nadine.
"Yes M-Mother", said Gurasu. When Nadine heard this, she had a smile.
"I want to talk to you alone…..Tsunade just stays outside", said Nadine.
"What…... Fine", said Tsunade when she saw her mom glaring at her.
"This is weird….Why would Tsunade"s mom want to talk to me"?, thought Gurasu. Gurasu went inside Nadine"s room. Nadine went inside as well and closed the door.
Nadine sat on her bed and Gurasu found a chair to sit on in her room.
"Now….Let us talk….I wanted to talk to you alone because I want to give you something", said Nadine.
"As you know Gurasu….Tsunade is my greatest treasure in the world to me….When I saw you become Tsunade"s finance, I became happy for her", said Nadine.
"You"re not like other boys who let l.u.s.t control their actions….You are responsible, hard-working, talented, and truly love my daughter for who she is", said Nadine.
When Gurasu heard this, he couldn"t help but get a little embarra.s.sed at the compliments that Nadine is giving to him.
"I can tell both of you guys truly love each other….And I am very impressed...You don"t see these good relationships these days in the world", said Nadine.
"As I know that you guys are going to the mage academy in one year, I want to give you something…..During the apprentice years in mage academies, it is very dangerous and the compet.i.tion there is very cruel", said Nadine.
"Therefore, I want to give you rings", said Nadine as she magically brought two rings out of nowhere on her hand.
"These two rings" purpose is to tell the individuals who are wearing the ring of the location and the safety of the other individual who is wearing the ring….For example, if you are wearing one of the rings and is in danger, it will notify Tsunade who is also wearing one of the rings about your safety and where you are", said Nadine as she looked at the two rings.
"Here are the two rings and always remember to wear it and tell this to Tsunade as well", said Nadine as she gave the rings to Gurasu.
"Thank you, Mother, for this….I very much appreciate that you care about our safety", said Gurasu with a thankful look.
"Don"t worry about it...Just go now...Tsunade is becoming impatient….hahaha", said Nadine as she chuckled at the last words.
"Ok bye….And Thank you again", said Gurasu as he left the room of Nadine. After Gurasu left, a man suddenly appeared in the room.
"So you gave it to him", said the man.
"Why wouldn"t I….. Even if it is a rank 2 item, my daughter"s and my son in law safety matters a lot more…..And I thought you would be talking to him as well". Said Nadine. The man was Tsunade"s father. Both him and Nadine were rank 2 mages.
"I was busy", said Tsunade"s father.
"Really dear….You were just too shy to talk to him….hahaha", said Nadine chuckling. Her husband had a shy personality and doesn"t like to talk to people that much.
"Don"t say this to Gurasu or Tsunade ever", said Tsunade"s father.
"Ok", said Nadine as she also thought, "not".
.....
Back with Gurasu and Tsunade who were walking back to their carriage.
"What did you talk about with my mom", said Tsunade with a curious look.
"Well….We talked about how our time in the mage academy will be dangerous…..She told me to watch our backs….And gave me something as well", said Gurasu.
"What did she give you", said Tsunade as she became more curious than ever.
"She gave me two rings", said Gurasu with a smile. They both had arrived at the carriage and went inside.
"What…..Why would she give you rings", said Tsunade with a puzzled look. They both sat down next to each other.
"Well….These rings have a special purpose….It will tell the individuals who wear it of their safety and location to each other", said Gurasu as he took two rings. The rings had the color of black and had strange markings on it.
"Here one for you and one for me…..And always remember to wear it", said Gurasu as he put the ring on his left hand, specifically on his middle finger.
Tsunade took the ring and also put the ring on her left hand, specifically on her middle finger. She wanted Gurasu and her to match.
When Gurasu saw, he just chuckled and did not say anything to her antics.
"Look Gurasu...Do I look good wearing it?", said Tsunade as she looked at the golden eyes of Gurasu.
"Yes, Tsunade….You look good but remember to wear it always", said Gurasu as he looked at her brown eyes.
"Ok", said Tsunade as she admired the beautiful ring.
Gurasu and Tsunade continued to talk and have fun throughout the day.
Nighttime, the Royal Palace, Gurasu"s room
Gurasu was sitting on the bed and meditating. His eyes were closed and he started to relax. Gurasu became a beginner apprentice mage level yesterday and he wanted to train.
He didn"t tell his parents about it because he didn"t want them to be suspicious of him. If he told them, they would be suspicious of how he became an apprentice mage at 11 years old. Even though they are loving parents, he is still cautious, and he knows that greed can change a person easily.
As Gurasu tried to meditate, he felt the Amg energy in the air. He tried to guide the Amg energy into his body. The more Amg energy a mage has in his body, the more spells and more powerful spells they can cast.
Gurasu tried to guide the Amg energy to his body by imagining himself that he is pushing the energy to his body. This way didn"t make sense at all, but he had no other ways, so he just bulls.h.i.tted it.
However, it worked, but only a small amount of Amg energy went inside of his body. Gurasu was able to sense a pool of energy in his body. However, it is only a little amount. It takes a lot of time for Amg energy to be permanently added to the energy pool in the mages" body.
Therefore, mages constantly cultivate and try to gather the Amg energy to their body so they can slowly increase the amount of Amg in the energy pool.
Gurasu continued to gather the Amg energy to his body, but he eventually got tired. "So people can"t cultivate all day long or even years like in the Cultivation novels…..I knew it those cultivation novels were just bulls.h.i.t…..Who could cultivate all day long and not get tired", thought Gurasu.
Gurasu got comfortable on the bed and eventually fell asleep.
1 year later
Gurasu and Tsunade were sitting under a tree.
"One year went by fast", said Tsunade. Tsunade was holding Gurasu"s hand as she looked at the sky.
"Yeah it did", said Gurasu as he looked at the numerous clouds in the sky.
"We are going to the mage academy tomorrow", said Tsunade signing. She felt sad that she is not going to see her family for a couple of years.
"Don"t be sad….I am going to be with you there", said Gurasu trying to cheer up Tsunade.
"Yeah", said Tsunade smiling.
As they relaxed under the tree, Gurasu looked at his stats.
Name: Gurasu Chlos
Race: Human
Rank: Beginner Apprentice Mage, Peak Knight level
Strength: 20
Vitality: 20
Agility: 20
Spirit: 0.9
Ability: Devour
When Gurasu looked at his stats, he just sighed. He realized that cultivating as a mage without using his Devour ability will take a long time to get stronger. "f.u.c.k….Just cultivating every day without having a lot of progress is a torture", thought Gurasu.
