Chapter 7: Heart Without Limits (1/2)

”Amon, now that the boring one is gone, let's get down to business.” Julia said with a smile: ”The intercollegiate tournament will start this Monday, most likely they'll let you participate too. What do you think, are you interested?”

”Are there sports?” Amon asked.

”Yes, but the main focus is the fighting tournament.” Maisa said.

”Fight... Are they strong?” Amon asked.

” Err ... If you compare them to yourself who defeated 3 adults, maybe not; but you never know if you will find a tiger disguised as a lamb.” Julia laughed.

”... So are they weak?” Amon asked blankly.

”Well, your brother Elijah is level 19 and he's the strongest in the school. If there's anyone else they must be well hidden. However, the top 5 will fight the other five best schools, there may be someone there who has passed level 20.” Julia said and smiled with her eyes closed.

”Alright, I will participate,” Amon said.

”Yes!” Maisa made a victory sign with a clenched fist from under the table.

Amon looked at her strangely.

”Don't worry about me, I just got a red coupon with 500 credits, so I'm happy.” Maisa said, disguising her excitement.

”Oh...” Amon wiped his mouth and said, ”I'm done, I'm going to wash the dishes and go upstairs.”

If it was before, he would simply wash the dishes and leave without saying a word, which meant he was at least opening up a little to them.

Of course, his undisciplined ways were still there, even the way he walked. After he finished washing the dishes, Amon went upstairs.

With the bedroom door closed, Amon sat on the floor and began to meditate.

Closing his eyes he saw the rune: [Heart Without Limits].

Whenever he did this and focused on it, Amon felt an inexplicable sensation. It wasn't a simple pleasure like drinking water when you're thirsty or even eating delicious food when you're hungry; it was more than that. But, to get that feeling, Amon needed absolute concentration.

His soul seemed to come out of his body and revolve around the rune: [Heart Without Limits] and seemed to be absorbed by it, but Amon didn't feel danger coming from it, so he allowed it.

Then a sensation came and made Amon grunt.

*Knock...Knock...*

Amon was irritated by the noise of someone knocking on his door but managed to calm down. He was interrupted and could not continue. Getting up, impatient, he opened the door and asked when he saw Julia: ”Need something?”

Julia is a lighthearted person, but she was intimidated by Amon's impatient tone and shivered a little, but she was brave: ”I wanted to know which element is your genetics.”

”I haven't tested it yet, my grandparents wouldn't allow it.” Amon replied indifferently.

”They didn't, but why? The sooner you know, the faster you can grow and become even stronger. You know, it's very difficult to fill in the genes that open up.” Julia said hastily, a little confused.

”Do you know how to take the test?” Amon asked. He always wanted to know, but his grandparents stopped him.

”I know, but it's only at school; if you go to the principal and ask, he should let you take the test.” Julia replied.

”By the way, mine is water. I've already filled 2 genes with water.” She smiled, ”See, isn't that cool?”

”Amon, you bought something online, delivery arrived for you.” Sonia's voice came from downstairs.

Amon frowned. He obviously didn't buy it.

He went downstairs and Julia followed him.

It was a small package, 30 cm long and 10 cm wide.

The delivery man gave it to him, and said, ”Open it when you're alone, that's what the person who sent it to you said.”

”...”

Julia and Sonia were confused. Was this normal?

They've never seen a delivery person say something like that when delivering a package.

”Amon, open up let me see.” Julia was curious.

”No.” Amon shook his head, mercilessly, and climbed the stairs.

Sonia gave Julia a sympathetic smile as she rested a hand on her shoulder.
