Chapter 100 The monolith (2/2)

Kuzan cried happily! He could use every fire technique he has been given making others to applause him as they envied his talent.

'If it's like this!'

Since fire techniques were too simple for him, he began his physical trainings. Push ups, squats, lifting... then, magic power control. After that, he focused on his awareness...

The young one hasn't spent one day lazing around. His every day routine was filled with harsh training till the destined day...

”Young Masters, please focus your magic power the moment the pressure descends on you.”

The old ancestor said this as he tapped the monolith with his staff. The monolith answered with light glow as it pressured one of the three brothers...

For Kuzan, the time he has seen his brothers could be counted on both hands. Because they are prodigies, their every days were filled with training. The only time he could interact with them was when their father had taught them together... which was quite rare.

The father prefered to teach them separately. This way, he could slowly probe at their talents without waiting for the monolith declaration.

And because of that...

'Kuzan talent is the highest.'

It was his result of early tests.

Kuzan eyes never left his brother who was under the pressure coming from the monolith. Such pressure was too strong for normal five years old kid, but since he was one of the prodigies...

”Ahhhhhh!”

He could endure even though he was screaming incessantly. Soon, the monolith released a bright orange light that shook the crowd!

””Ohhh!””

”Good!”

It was similar glow to that when he was born! The young one fell on his butt as the pressure disappeared. However, his young face was full of smiles.

Then, it was time for his second brother. He was in the same situation as the pressure descended once more. The light was very similar to that of his brother which made him to smile with contentment as if he has already passed the exceptations coming from his family...

The time has come! Kuzan prepared himself as he clenched his little hands tightly. The old ancestor tapped the monolith and...

'Eh?'

The pressure didn't appear as he expected. Rather than that, he felt as if something was awakening inside him and moving throughout his whole body...

At that time, the young one didn't know that his special magic was awakening thoroughly together with his five nature elements attributes...

As he stood without knowing what to do, his father and ancestor narrowed their eyes. No matter how long they have waited, the pressure didn't appear just like the light.

For them, it meant one thing... The monolith doesn't react to him! Seeing this, the old ancestor turned to young prodigies. With affectionate voice, he told for Kuzan's brothers to meet him tomorrow... As for Kuzan, the old ancestor didn't even spare a glance as he left the room...

The young prodigy didn't know what is going on. With blank face, he turned to his father. The moment he noticed his father eyes...

'Why?'

The affectionate eyes full of love has been replaced by scornful, disdainful eyes.

'Why?'

His mother, maids, butlers, teachers... everyone has been looking at him with those eyes. The change was too sudden for the young Kuzan which made his eyes to moist. His whole body trembled and he truly didn't know what is going on... Kuzan tried to force a smile, but under such pressure that was coming from his close ones...

'Why are you looking at me like that?'

He could only ask them this question inwardly. He had no strength to open his mouth, then...

”Kuzan, you are going to live in your mother's family from now on.”

The emotionless voice of his father sealed his fate...

Tap! He fell... just like his brothers... but the reason of his fall was way too painful...

This day was his last day at the Feuer Family household. Kuzan couldn't help, but turn to the monolith which was so big reaching the ceiling. At that time, he didn't know whether he should hate this monolith or his family who has such high beliefs for this monolith judgment...
