Tragic Secrets

Father may be able to doge my wind blade, but he can't predict it. So, just when my father was dodging the wind blades, I pulled back my wind blades together and used Lightning mana to enhance myself to rush an attack with my sword.

"Oh! That was nice!"

When I stroke him he pulled back himself with mana reinforcement. Yeah, I pretty much know all about that, so the wind blades I pulled back earlier was already trajected from Father's back.

"What?"

"What?"

"What?"

"Holy Shit!"

As my siblings were expressing their view with my skills and tactics, Father couldn't resist my attacks.

Yeah, It was clean strike as I hit him with the wind blades I trajected behind him.

I might have underestimating my opponents, but I won't go off that easily.

"AHh-k"

Father couldn't dodge at all, and even it can't wound deeply, it made him hurt.

His shoulders was tipped off and his torso had scratched as a little blood stained on his attire.

"Are you okay Father?" I asked him as he seemed to have hurt.

But,

"Don't lose your guard kid!" My father said as he leaped forward again like his wounds had already healed completely.

To be honest, in this life and world, I would say father would be the badass man I have ever seen.

Sighs. Lets do this then.

I raised his right hand, and left hand manipulating air as I created Wind cutters, The move I did when the Slave traders was fighting against me, in both my hands and threw my wooden sword away as I rushed towards Father.

As we both were getting closer, the distance between the two sides were very close.

This time, father engulfed himself with fire mana, manipulating it and created as gauntlet. The speed was extremely fast, and as we clashed, His fire was pushed back, and my wind cutter was already cracking out.

"What? That's all you've got Eth?" Father said with a enjoying smile.

Well, he seems to be enjoying this fight as the difficulty level has increased after my strike at him. However, this time, "Haha! Don't loose your guard down....Father!"

I said as I already canceled out the left hand's wind cutter and manipulated air to create Wind Blades.

"Huh?"

It was a little difficult to act in that heat puffing on my delicate skin, But with mana I had myself reinforced. So, I was able to resist it by half.

And when I fired the wind blades, It went in an arc in the air, almost avoiding Father's gauntlet and striking him at his back, once again.

Father's right hand shook a bit, but, "Enough!" he said as we both canceled out our attacks.

"Phew!"

That was fun.

Father was standing in a shock. As he was standing and staring around, Big sis Alice rushed towards father and started healing his bleeding.

"Wow! Lil Eth! What are you?"

"Yeah! Lil bro! Seriously!"

"How can your eight year old brain thinks like some kind of warrior?"

All my brothers were baffled.

In reply towards them, I just gave a sighed smile as I was scratching my head.

After that, Father gave of a "Erhm" and just said, "Well, Today's classes dismissed. Correct your problems that you have encountered in today's lessons! Erhm" like nothing happened.

Everyone smiled, and patted my head as we all went inside the house, But suddenly,

"Ah Eth, not you son!"

"Ah?"

Father stopped me alone, as everyone were sent inside.

We both walked the backyard, as father stopped walking at some point. Well, I followed him as well.

"Finally."

"Father?"

What's going on?

"Ethan, because you managed to defeat me, I have something to say to you!"

My father said with a low tone. With his expression, I think he is going to tell me the truth about me being adopted. Or, is it something else?

As I was wandering what my father had for me, he suddenly opened the grass floor and a secret door opened. But, I can't help but to think why I never discovered this when I walked around these places.

"Come on Eth!" As he walked down the steps, My father called me as I was in a Aw when I saw the underground path.

"Ah..es! Yes father!"

...

I followed him down. There was a single room remaining me of a torture hall from my previous life. And it was also like an training hall too.

Aside from that, from the moment I walked into the room, I can't sense a single amount of mana emanating from father or myself. But, I was able to use magic. What kind of place is this?

Closing the door, father's face looked a little solemn, "Eth! You should know now that you have become stronger. Well, I think you are stronger to accept things about your life!"

Yep, I think that's it.

"Ethan...You...are not born to me and your mother Lyra."

I knew he would tell me this now. Anyway, I just watched him as he was speaking.

"When you were an Baby, your mother passed away. So, we took you in and here we are...." my father said.

"Okay..! But, if my real mother is dead, its in the past right? you and Mother Lyra will be my parents what ever happens wouldn't it??"

I laced him up a bit, but I wasn't expecting the scene I was about to see. When I said that to him, Father was already in tears. It was the first time to see him like this though.

"O..of course son! You will always be our son! Always..our little Eth!" he said with tears.

Now, I feel bad to have made father to cry.

"And...There is also another thing I had to say to you!" He said as he cleared his eyes.

I wonder what would that be...

"Son, me and your mother, Lyra...are a part of an organization. An organization that eliminates the threats to our continent!"

Wait...Don't tell me...

"We are members of the Council of Assassins!"
