The floating pair

Chapter 9 - Rinty's hidden secret

Couple weeks after Kerubell event, He was called by the rulers of this country.

At the throne room.

The slave announced.

Kerubell you are in presence of King Aldaran and Queen Miriam, the rightful rulers of the kingdom of Exodus.

As a sign of respect, Kerubell kneeled, and so did Micaela who was next to him.

The king did a gesture so that they could stand up, a signal of courtesy.

King Aldaran spoke.

"I congratulate you, oh hero, oh priestess, with the two of you together with our armies, and the goddess blessing, it is a sign that we will be able to take a step forward towards the regain of our lands and eventually expand our territory."

The nobles around started applauding.

"Your highness, I have come to the realization that I will indeed help the exodus kingdom, who embraced my person and help me, however, I will not fight other human kingdoms." Said Kerubell without showing emotion, "As your highness knows I have a become a hero to the humans and as such, I will only fight towards that which is not human."

'This fool, is he trying to say that he won't help Exodus kingdom take over the neighbour kingdoms, how dares he?' The queen calmly held the king hand and did a small nod.

The king reflected upon himself.

'Very well then, I'll still make this hero work plenty, humans aside, there's plenty of enemies to take down.'

"I understand, for you are the hero, I shall grant you, your wish, however, if the enemy human kingdoms are the ones that initiate the war, then I still expect you to defend us." Said the king with a defiant tone.

'Ah... I didn't expect that.' Thought Kerubell to himself.

A whisper struck Keru ears, "agree."

Keru looked to the side, to Micaela the priestess, as he understood something he returned the look to the king and spoke.  

"As you declare your highness."

At Rinty's, in Johan private dojo, Johan and Sofia were currently training.

Both facing each other, holding their wooden swords, in drawing stances.

Johan aura covered the whole dojo room, and in front of him, a different aura was expanding.

From the little girl, the aura was starting to come out, making Johan aura the size of an ocean, have a small whirlpool in the middle.

'Johan aura is blue, it gives a peaceful feeling.' thought Sofia.

Johan expression was delighted, and so he explained.

"This is the aura, what you've achieved, is an aura that helps you detect what is around you, for example, hidden presences and attacks," after a pause he continued, "it's also useful to perceive where the attack is coming from, what shape it's made, it's direction, where it begins and where it will land, pieces of information that make our swordsmanship shine further!"

'5 years old and has already achieved this much....'

Johan felt like letting go a mad laugh, but he held it in.

Johan dissipated his aura and spoke.

"For now master on how to control your aura in the family we use this aura only for battlefields to paralyse a lot of enemies at once, but it also paralyses our allies so controlling the size is what counts, that way you can do it in a small size, to block the opponent who's in front of you or even someone who sneaked to your back."
