Her expression grew darker with every passing minute the reason is rather simple.
"Power",
She hates that word so much so as her brows furrowed upon every mention of the word. There was something about her past that made a deep impact on her to hate it soo much that Clyde just couldn't put his finger on what though.
"I came from a notable family known as the Lucre",
She finally said her eyes softening a bit.
"Lucre?",
"Sounds familiar doesn't it?",
She said finally proving his inner thoughts to be true. There are many noble families in the kingdom but none stands close to the trio. A noble family said to hold dominion over the moon and the stars.
Unlike those who practice by taming monsters based on strength, the Lucre family tame beast that grow stronger as the night approaches.
"Yeah I have learned about it in school",
Clyde said giving only a brief detail, he could already see it...the massacre the other family caused when the attacked the Lucre family. Almost the entire kingdom came and still the family remain standing as though the attack never happened.
"Nobility is one thing and so is power. You want to follow the path of power?",
She asked.
"It is the only way I can prove the others wrong",
It wasn't really much of an answer since Clyde him myself lacked it. To follow the path of getting stronger also means sacrifices must be made at some point in time.
"Then I can teach you",
Her words shook Clyde to the core, why would someone who almost lost her family because of this same power help him.
"It is your choice, come see me when you can fully control your mana",
These were the last words that escaped her lips before she left, the path to power isn't so worth it after all...but if he can get stronger then the condition around the orphanage would also change for the better.
"I will get stronger even if it kills me but for the sake of the others",
Clyde said to himself his voice now filled by a newly found purpose a strong resolve. The next day after class he paid a visit to professor Burg. For a man who is mostly compose his office told a different story.
"You came?''
Mr. Burg asked, he was seated behind his desk busily sorting out some files. For someone like him to actually work while he could have others do it instead really stunned Clyde.
"You actually do paper work",
Nonvoluntarily the words spilled from his thoughts right out into the open, Mr. Burg takes passive glance at Clyde then flashes a smile at him.
"I like paper work more than anyone here, young boy",
Mr. Burg said as his eyes move back on to the piled up files on his desk.
"I am ready",
Clyde blurts out but to his surprise Mr. Burg's only reaction is to extend three files to. Wordlessly he accepts them then sits on the chair in front of Mr. Burg's desk. Just by looking at the files Clyde could feel a certain impending doom from every part of his body, his road to become the strongest had just began.
