Chapter 2 - Hungry for evolution

Ace continues to practice how to absorb the red mana particles in the surrounding atmosphere into the source of energy within his body

His older brother established his core and ascended to a Black core conjurer at the age of 14

By this same time he enters into the Derngian Institute of Magic the mist prestigious school in the world

Different empire civilians come from far and near to study and learn in this institute

Aaron shows great skills and established a name for himself in the institute

Some years have passed and by this time Ace begins to plan his departure to the institute

He is 13 years of age and is seemingly eager to awaken his core,he will usually train with his father and meditate all night

[This world is ruled by magic .....people can exhibit magic abilities by absorbing Mana particles ...the absorbed particles are stored in the core which refines mana in it's raw state and utilize them to produce a magical spell]

[There exist Seven cores.....the higher the core the more purified and refined the Mana becomes when absorbed by the core ]

[Black core...Tier 1-5...]

[Red core.....Tier 1-5...]

[Orange core...Tier 1-5...]

[Yellow core.... Tier 1-5...]

[Green core.....Tier 1-5...]

[White core...Tier 1-5...]

[Gold core....Tier 1-5...]

[In rear cases a person can break through the Gold core and enter into the Sacred Core]

[But when a person can no longer absorb mana particles their core is broken and they are stuck in their current core]

.....By this time Ace was a bit older and it could be seen that he has grown through some years.....

He is seen walking downward from a staircase....his yellow hair is packed forming a ponytail as he was about 5.9 feets tall wearing a noble garment white and red in color with a Dragons crest at the back

"As majestic as ever I hope that you're ready for your training alongside your brother against me?...

Ace turns to his brother who is in their midst due to his break from the institute

"Why won't i be ready.... this will be your last spare together before he resumes in the Derngian institution in the imperial capital city "

"I like that attitude Ace but you've not still awakened u sure you can hold up right now I'm in the Red core Tier 2" Aaron walks up to Ace

Looking at Ace he witness a smirk from him as he stares into his blue eyes which was slightly covered by his black long curly hair

"Cool look....show me what I've got "

They followed their father into the mansion training ground and were met with a large filed surrounded by four pillars emitting mana particles of different colors into the region of the filed

"Are you two ready to get defeated by me once more"

"Not a chance father.....Ace come on we will defeat him for sure this time"

The battle began shortly after .....Ace dashs in towards his father removing his sword from the sheath ....His father easily blocks his slashes by summoning a little barrier of flame at a critical moment before the slash hit him

"Now it's my turn "....★"Brid"

Numerous balls of flames more than 20 in number where released towards Ace who barely manages to evade the attack

"Fire shield !"

_this spell was conjured just before one of the dart will hit Ace protecting him with a huge barrier of flames by Aaron

"Ace let's try attacking again"

Aaron dispels the barrier .....he raises his staff and absorbs a huge amount of red mana particles ...in preparation for their next attack

Ace dashes in towards his father once more ....as soon as the distance between him and his father became short he threw his sword to his father

"Don't tell me you don't know what you're doing now"

Ace dashes in closing up the little distance between them...he catches one of his sword and uses the other which pierces the field as a stepping stone landing a strike at his father

Just at this time Aaron releases a horde of flame that hit their father forcing him to draw back

"Good grief ...how am I suppose to know you two are scheming such a shady idea"

"Aaron now's your chance....while his still down "

....★"flame overwatch"

instantly a concentrated Brid of flame appeared at the front of Aaron who releases it towards his father

Upon impact a large bang ...BOOM...is heard and the two boys celebrated winning a duel against their father for once after so long

"Don't think that's enough to take me down "

The smiles on their faces vanished upon hearing their fathers voice ...

..... Instantly they turn around exhibiting a battle stance

....★"Blaze"

A huge hord of flame appeared and was immediately released towards the direction of the two boys who manage to evade it before contact

"Ace .....I'll support you we won't lose here not now "

With hope from his brothers words Ace dashes out towards his father as he analysis his weak points finding none

But he didn't stop swinging his sword reluctantly at his father who blocked his attacks

....★★★"Incinerative checkpoint"

A large number of flickering flames appeared in the surrounding environment igniting in patterns....Ace was forced to draw back from attacking to secure his own health

"Now that you are together knocking you guys out won't be a problem".....

...."Be mesmerised by my power and crave to suppose it "

....★★"pyroclasmic wave "

A huge wave of fire spreaded out towards all direction in the training field

Aaron just at that time releases a huge burst of flame and is the only one standing between him and Ace after the father's spell

...★★"Blazing circle"

Instantly Aaron summons a circle of flanes that restraint him and his fathers movement charging towards him

He clashes with his father as their flames both burn intensively

....★★" Spiral Cannon "

Lord Lugard releases a huge horde of spiral flame at Aaron who repels the attack back to his father with his spells"FLAME MIRAGE"

Lord Lugard foot is almost caught up by the flames forming the circle binding them

"You've pushes your luck now I'll teach you the difference between a Red core conjurer and a white core conjurer "

...★★★★"Furnace beasts "

Flame like creatures of irregular form and sale appears attacking Aaron who exhausts himself and is beating by them

"Don't worry kids your getting there just keep training "

There father walks out of the training field....Aaron is seen barely holding up he walks to his brother unconscious body which was severely burned up

.....★"Restorative flare"

Aaron heals all the burns on the body of Ace carrying hi. To the mansion infirmary

.....

.....

.....

"Finally you are awake ".....

_Ace leans in to huge his brother who returns the warm embrace

"Did we lose to father again?....that's not acceptable...

Aaron seeing his little brother in grief looks at him and says

"Ace remember to continue training don't slack off just because I'll soon be going back to the institution in three days.... honestly I can't wait for you to awaken and join me there "

...

"By the next time I see you I want you to be stronger .... don't worry I'll have also been stronger too.....we can't let father always get the best of us "

The two bothers made a promise to themselves to become strong enough to one day defeat their father and surpass themselves

The remaining three days the brothers had was spent with them having fun with one another training together and playing games

...

...

The carriage soon arrived and Aaron was already prepared to go back to the prestigious ....Derngian institution in the imperial capital city of the Derngian Empire home of talent and magic ...

"Ace remember our promise okay and keep mother safe just like she did for you when you were younger"

Aaron stares at his brother and hugs him reassuring him that he will get stronger so Ace should do the same

He soon departs to the Institute leaving his Family behind

....

Ace didn't let this stop him and continued to train wishing to be better than both his Father and elder brother

A moth has passed and the usual activities were carried out promptly to no fault

.......

"Ace why don't you accompany me on my usual patrol around the kingdom....but this time we are going to a dungeon"

Ace having a huge HUNGER FOR EVOLUTION easily accepts the offer from his Father without having a second thought and soon departs with him

They enter a carriage accompanied by Lord Lugard 5 Berserk knights division Captains acting as their escorts known to perform their duties excellently to no fault

"My Lord the people of this Kingdom look up to you so much being that you are kind and fierce when it comes to protecting them "

"Come on now you don't need to remind me about all those things Colt"

"Understood but I've been wondering..... why do you wish to bring your son along?"

Ace was brought into the conversation between Lord Lugard and colt the 5th divison Captain

They arrived at a large field before the entrance of the Dansun forest with cut across 5 kingdoms in the Derngian Empire

"Colt you have nothing to worry about he is very skilled although he hasn't awakened his core yet ...I believe the best way for him to shine is by fighting weak magic beasts like the way I groomed his elder brother "

"Colt stop with the irrational question we've already gotten here and you should know the Lord engages his children in battle to help them grow"

"Hoooo .....you're right Keshawn but we don't have clue about the Tier of this dungeon since it's a wild spawn....well yes I know the Soceror supreme said it's a B rank dungeon "

....."Hmm .....well Colt are you indirectly saying you can't protect a mere child"

"Don't make me laugh Guwen ....."

Colt a man clothed in red armor having a Dragon crest at the center of the chest plate with orange designs looks at Ace and smiles....his green eyes makes eye contact with Ace as he turns around using his hand to brush his brown hair

"Well then I'll love to see how you hold off ACE"
