No er than usual Someone asked when I'd be able to update truth is I don't know I do it when I can Leaving a poll beloorked hard to coood name I decided nobles would have names close to Gods in a sense

Chapter 3 & 4 -

Inside the Palace Medical Ward, Medical Saint Renissa sat facing a golden-haired youth with a expression which expressed her displeasure as she misspoke Renissa paused as she realized she had made a mistake and hadn't explained the situation to him first

[Okay, take a deep breathe and calm yourself What I'm about to tell you may be quite a shock but I assure you it's the complete and utter truth] -Renissa

[Yes Grandmother] -Arin

The lady tried to explain his situation as cal everything she was told The expression on Arin's face changed many times but none were pleasant and it even contained a hint of disbelief However, a memory played in his mind about an old man as dressed completely in black This person was skilled in deceit and lies, in this an torturing someone for infores in soes in heart rate and pick up uneven breathing

For some reason he could read the old lady's breath and hear her heartbeat as she talked and knew she was not lying The er remember them but the skills learned remained He honestly did not knohat toat his hair and looking at the old lady's he simply asked

[There's no one in this world with this sort of hair is there?] -Arin

[No, even those golden-colored eyes] -Renissa

Arin went into thought for a moment, Renissa looked at him with concern and then spoke

[So, What now?] -Renissa

[My parents wanted me to live So I'll live to the best of my ability Whatever I do, I'll do to the best of my ability to repay the sacrifice] -Arin

Renissa's eyes sparkled as she heard his declaration and thought to herself

(Yes! That's how it should be!) -Renissa

[If you're going to do that then you're going to need a name] -Renissa

[Since I owe you the debt ofcare ofto be my Grandmother Why don't you choose?] -Arin

[Hht you looked like a child of the Sun God and it reoes back as far as this mountain It's said that every sun is the child of the Sun God Apollo and the Star Queen Andromeda The children of the Sun God that watch over our humble planet is called Hyperion and Helius

So how about Sol'ixus Hyperius? It means ” Son of the Suns”] -Renissa

[Sol'ixus HyperiusIs it a common name?] -Sol

Sol waved his hand through his hair as he spoke

[No naive you a corandson For example my name full na maiden” Don't look at me like that! My beauty was incoirl in all of Mount Earthernvale! Halaxy know!

That hair of yours can't be dyed and your eyes are unusual anyway at least fro and not query about your appearance too ive you that naic because you don't have a Dantian your affinity for Light her than anyone else I've ever heard about not toto do with your hair and eyes ] -Renissa

[I'd really like to dye you're hair though, the eyes can be easily explainedbut that hairI have to go see the Alche]- Renissa

[Okay I understand ] -Sol

Sol nodded as he gratefully accept the name

[So as of today, your full name will be Sol'ixus Hyperius Duke and if anyone asks you were bedridden all of your life I have to go talk to Dorian and my husband, stay here for a bit I'll return soon I'm sure you have quite a lot of questions, I'll answer the I'll be,on his speech to the people about your arrival which we're covering up by the way] -Renissa

Before she left, she turned and said a few more words

[Oneand if anyone asks tell thehtmaster Dukes Grandson and Dorian is your cousin I already talked to the nurses outside and they won't trouble you and they also vaguely know your circuo outside then at least don't go past my husband's mansion

Outside of this uards stationed here are different froade, they directly protect the Royal Family and remain within the Royal Quarter They do not know your circu they won't impede you Oh andThank you very much child These old bones feel much, much better] -Renissa

As she spoke she got up stretched and walked out with a huge s h the pill was only meant to help the arthritis, it certainly did a lot or

After Renissa left, Sol discovered quite a few Medical books and books about herbs and decided to spend soht not be able to read it, he was surprised to find out he could roughly make out the words and after a short ae

He spent a few hours in the Medical Ward and finished his comparison of the herbs in the books and the ones in his hly satisfied He learned every herb on this planet was the inal herb fro Next he learned about mana and how it affects the body, he learned about the Dantian and about the different types of pill ht it was lucky to have time to be able to learn this stuff so quickly, how could he have known his learning rate was aular human? If Renissa was present and sa h already she would be completely stupified

There wasn't e of the hue of this world, but still the methods only available to this world as well as the conversion knowledge was no joke He also got his hands on a few history books and learnedthat matters here He learned huholds where mana is very scarce is where humanity is safest When he realized he had no Dantian this made him a bit worried for his future prospects

Sol finally remembered Renissa mentioned to him about his special physique and it occurred to hiain power Apparently his body was capable of condensing iven a mana purification rowth

Sol lay on the single bed and started thinking about coht and not be a burden to the old lady that took him insuddenly his brain snapped--

Me his brain like a tidal wave He saw hi a sword, he saw hi in the shadows concealing his presence, wielding a staff on amultiple opponents with his bare hands He saw rivers of blood, many battlefields of different kinds that seemed to be of a different era in another world

He hopped up off his bed as the le one However, the information all remained and his face flushed with exciteh theat thea fist and raised it to the air A look of sadness appeared in his eyes

[You've preparedhaven't you parents of mine?] -Sol

He clenched the pendant around his neck which was the only thing that he caht at that time

Knock Knock

[Yes? Please come in] -Sol

The door opened and a nurse calasses an possessed a wareShe wore a white robe less elegant than Renissa's and was more practical

[Hel--] -Nurse

Even though she prepared herself to see this so called ”Angel youth” the nurses were talking about she was still surprised by his handsome looks and special traits that no otherdinner patiently and couldn't wait to enter Now upon seeing him herself she couldn't help but blush, partially because he was half naked and his physique was by no h he was sli

[hello and Good Night] -Sol

Sol was a bit happy toa fee He looked at her intently to see what her purpose was

His voice woke her up froained her elder sister charm

[Good Night~, I was supposed to bring you dinner My name is Maria] -Maria

[Please call ry] -Sol

She i setables which seemed to be fried Sol thanked her and received the tray

(Sol huhSunit's fitting) -Maria

[Well then if you need anything else, I'll be right outside] -Maria

Even though she said so she took her tilances at Sol, olden colored eyes it took her a while to realize they were staring back at her, she gave a aard smile and turned to leave

[Ahh! Wait please! There's one thing I'd like to ask] -Sol

[S-sure what is it?] -Maria

[Is there somewhere one can train his Martial Arts?] -Sol

[Martial Arts? I'm sorry what is that?] -Maria

[UhhI mean train in combat like with a sword and the like] -Sol

[Oh! You mean the arena where warriors train?] -Maria

[Yeah that's right] -Sol

[Yes, it's just down the mountain from here there's only one path you can't miss it, It's where your ”Grandfather” lives hehe] -Maria

[Oh so you know about that huh] -Sol

[Yeah, all the nurses here know but you don't need to worry Lady Renissa is like a mother to all of us here and we are all loyal to her so your secret is safe with us] -Maria

[That's great, thank you] -Sol

Sol gave her a warm smile which made her heart throb for a second

(What's with this kid, he see this simple conversation like I'm the only person he ever spoke to A pity I wanted to talk with him ) -Maria

[Well then I'll take ot wait one moment] -Maria

Maria went outside the door and quickly returned while holding some clothes

[The lady told ht be with the King and she wanted you to wear so presentable] -Maria

She gave Sol black clothing that the Scout Brigade Knights wear underneath their ar boots and gloves Sol gratefully accepted the clothes and bowed as Maria took her leave

Sol quickly ate his portion of food and changed his clothes, he wore the knight clothing as well as the cloak that the Knight placed on hio out to the training field but he still didn't knohat to do about his hair as it would draw too much attention He heard that dye didn't work and wondered hat made his hair so special

(If only I kne to change your color) -Sol

He thought as he played and fiddled with a strand of hair, but to his surprise the color of the single strand turned blue

[What?!] -Sol

He was completely astonished

(How is this possible? Was this because I focused on it? I merely willed it to happen and it happenedsure I was brooding over it for a while but ould it suddenly change like that) -Sol

No matter how much he racked his brain he could find no solution, he heard fro properties

(Could this be what she meant?) -Sol

(Let ) -Sol

He closed his eyes and after a few moments as he willed it, his entire hair turned black and could conceal it's visible differences Unless one touched it, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference

(How convenient) -Sol

Sol got up checked himself once in theand after giving the and a bow he left They seemed surprised and looked at his hair

[Hey Sol] -Maria

A green haired beauty grabbed higed by a wohtly red

[H-Hi] -Sol

[What happened to your hair?] -Maria

Sol lifted his gazes to the other nurses and showed a bit of worry but then remembered they knew of his circuht in Not hiding it, with just a thought his hair flashed brightly and went back to it's original lustrous sun-ma like color

[Kyaaa!] -Nurses

Suddenly the nurses pounced on him

[ It's true! He has such nice hair!] -Nurse 1

[It's even prettier than mineso thick and lush] -Nurse 2

[I've never seen a color like this before, like the blazing sun and the hair is actually warm] -Nurse 3

One even drew a scissors and inched closer

[I wouldn't do that if I were you~] -Maria

Maria spoke in a playful tone as she looked at the nurse wielding a scissors

[That hair belongs to the Princess Salina after all, She even gave me strict orders that no one is supposed to touch it without her permission hehe] -Maria

[H-Hey, uhh Princess Salina?] -Sol

[Oh right you wouldn't know, that's the King's daughter and she's quite fond of your hair] -Maria

[Since you arrived here, she didn't let it go once and has a fondness for cute things] -Maria

[I see Hopefully later I'll be able to thank the care of me] -Sol

[It's no probleretful but we ladies have to return to filing work as lunch is over I wanted to stay more and chat with you but if Lady Renissa co off, I don't even want to think about ill happen] -Maria

Maria was shaking visibly as she thought about Renissa

[I see, please enjoy the rest of your night then ladies and thank you for taking care of me] -Sol

[It's okay babe! just make sure to come back! Kyaa!] -Nurse 1

[Bye bye!] -Nurse 2

[See ya!] -Nurse 3

[No problem! However just so you know a nobleman doesn't bow to servants like us it would cause problee it in the future] -Maria

[If I can't bow to the people that took care of ? I'm sure in the future I'll choose the same method to thank my benefactor] -Sol

Sol left them with these words that astonished them and left

(What an interesting fellow~) -Maria

(HmmThis place is really nice) -Sol

Sol wandered through the courtyard and made his way down the hill, he could visibly see the mansion frouards that did not recognize the unfa the ring on his fingers they diverted their gazes as if alreeted the guards as he walked by much to their surprise

[Who is that kid? Why's he so happy to greet a guard?] -Guard 1

[The kids of today are strange reet us who people usually pass by without even so ] -Guard 2

[Yeah I knohat you look he's still s] -Guard 1

[Whatever, he has a ring of the Duke it's best not to pay any attention to him Brother, those kinds of people that suy that knew a guy that knew a story about a guy that s with those guys] -Guard 2

[Ain't that the truth! Just look at the King] -Guard 1

[Hehehewe shouldn't say that so loud] -Guard 2

Sol's POV :

I arrived in front of the Mansion and didn't enter as it wasn't uards and they let ates and pointed ot directions to the training yard which wasn't really hard to find but because of the design it was tricky getting there I couldn't help but to ave off the feeling of a ar decorated in cases It was late at night and no one was around except for the guards and a few er and immediately hurried out

I approached the training field which was a huge grassy area, a sense of excitement weld up in my heart as I stared at the mechanisms I had never seen before The field was separated into five parts with 5 hugein a circle with a single du froic dummies as they had specific symbols that looked like seals mentioned in the book I read on it's chest and back

They were also equipped with a shi+eld and sword and the nu from 5 - 25 It was obvious at this point that they weren't ordinary dummies, moreover this was no ordinary an to wonder since these machines are mana imbued is it safe for me to use? After all I don't have s actually are

(A mana purification technique and alike that in those memories? Maybe if I had practiced that I could havemeditationwhat exactly is meditation?I only know Martial ArtsWaitshouldn't Martial Arts have a link to meditation? In most of the Martial Arts from the memories they have a link to meditationKarateJujutsuAikidoHapkidoMuay ThaiNinjutsuthe list goes on) -Sol

I racked my brain and then I finally li Fu, the other Tai Chi and the last one was Bhuddis I i myself in the memories of the three, after some time I came to some conclusions I could use Bhuddis Fu wasn't suitable for either and was more of a combat method

I used the ht in my memories to meditate and familiarized myself with the way of Bhudda I closedat the bottobut the ripples of time and my conscious floated away

Instantly I felt the difference, olden blaze shone brightly without htly feel an absorption oflike a river, like tiny ants running through e but wasn't really painful just a bit hot and a tiny bit irritating but I understood it was necessary

My hair shone brightly as it attracted the reedily, I could feel the htly di full After a feweffect died down and rather than returning to it's normal state, the minor mana absorption effect had stopped completely

Right afterward I started feeling a bit sick but It was expected as I understood why, it's because I don't have a Dantian or mana purification method and I rely on my body to break up the mana I didn't panic because I had a plan for that, I i the Tai Chi The , soentle tone Little by little I could feel with every thrust of my palm and every breathe I released that the impurities in the mana left my body as I could faintly see it in the air

After about half an hour I felt as though all of the er felt sick like before but I still felt full for some reason Then there it was

Crack Crack Crack

I could hear cracking co from all of my bones, fro wasI've ever felt in h I can only remember about 12 hours of my life The pain that catherit my teeth because I didn't want to scream out loud and cause a scene, so i endured

After about quarter of an hour I could feel the purifiedso I knehere it was going I felt a bit of stea out one and er a sense of tiredness or fatigue

The power rankings of this world goes like this, es of 1-9 which people refer to commonly as Order An exae, etc)

Frooes onto Saint, God and then Avatar Those are then broken down into other categories that don't need to be ht now

Does it work the same way for me too? If so then could I be considered to be a First Order Warrior? Since I have an unprecedented body maybe this infors and take record of it, maybe it will be useful later Now for the part I've been waiting for

End of POV:

Sol got up took off his shi+rt andfield with 5 dummies, he stood before the one in the middle took a deep breathe, his eyes phased out for a olden eyes beca like a blade of ice and his body erupted forward!

His feet fired and sent ripples to his torso that tensed and followed through with a harsh punch This was a Karate punch, with a harsh yell Sol moved forward as if he had done this punch ten thousand tile waste of movement

[Karate: Reverse Punch!]

[Yaa!] -Sol

BANG

The h it's chest as if it had been gnawed on by a rising dragon! The center rock dummy immediately retreated however --

BANGBANG BANG BANG

Sol was instantly hit from all 4 sides with blunt sword rock weapons and shi+elds! His body was sent flying and crashed a few ot up and inspected himself and found 4 harsh wounds on his body, two on his chest and one on each arm He turned and looked at the 4 dummies on the field with a bewildered expression

(SoThis is the trick, it caught ly fastThis is bad If it was a lethalcareless and not being on guard) -Sol

What he didn't knoas that the daular First Order Warrior in the Medical Ward These machines were developed for warriors only at Second Order and above, this particular one at the first level with 5 duned for Second Order Warriors The fact that he ed to block two of the attacks absent mindedly showed his reaction time was above the normal

Sol thought to hiht unaware he would die in a heartbeat His opponents weren't humans but beasts of many different variations and he knew he had to be able to expect all sorts of unorthodox methods of battle from them

Sol was completely unaware that an old ardener type hat was currently looking at hiician mechanic who ht, he also was the ht sight of an unfa and even saw his peculiarmana

The old ht
