After few hours,

Zick\'s room was covered in the smell of blood as he laid on the ground looking at the ceiling blankly.

\'....it\'s over at last...\'

Zick has completed doing the same process for 9 times more in the few hours that have passed by.

Zick could feel that he has crossed the halfway mark of the lowest rank.

And he can become a low rank knight in 3 to 4 months.

It was unexpected from Zick\'s perspective, he had expected to reach the peak of the lowest rank but it seems his garbage body absorbed more mana than he had thought.

\'Ah...this body never does seize getting in my way....but luckily I won\'t have worry about it for a long time\'

Getting up from the ground, Zick took a bath and washed the blood off himself.

He called Butler Von and ordered him to clean the blood off the floor.

Butler Von had a blank look while he was cleaning the blood in the floor. He could find the remains of poison mixed with the blood which made him curious as to what Zick was trying to do.

But in the end he didn\'t ask anything and just did what he was ordered to do.

When everything was done and there was no proof left of him using the unorthodox method.

It had already become night with cold breeze flowing in the knight\'s training ground.

Right now, Zick was sitting in the middle of the training ground with his eyes closed.

Now that his potential has increased to a peak rank knight, he can strengthen himself normally without the help of any outside stimulus like felix root.

The mana around him was converging towards him and entering his body, flowing through the mana nerves then dispersing in the air again.

In this process his mana nerves absorbed a little of the mana going through it.

If he had done this process before using the unorthodox method, the mana would just go through his mana nerves without getting absorbed at all.

\'I should be able to reach low rank knight in the next 4 months\'

************

Time passed by without anyone noticing and Zick turned 10 years old with nothing special excluding the fact that he was a low rank knight.

He had become a low rank knight when he turned 9 years old which surprised everyone around him.

In the past one year and 6 months Zick has been training vigorously until he was bleeding from all over his body.

The sparring between Zick and Garrick had never stopped in this past year, it just grew more and more harsh with Zick ordering Garrick to fight seriously.

This event led Zick\'s sword skill to match any knight of the Melvix family and even surpass some of them.

When it came to using the sword purely with just skills Zick Was one the people who used it the most efficiently.

Even though he lacked experience, he could make up for it with his skills.

Right now Zick was standing in front of the Melvix estate\'s lord room, looking at the door with suspicion all written over his expression.

For some reason the current head of the Melvix family had ordered Zick to Come meet him in his room.

Zick was at the peak of the low rank knight and he was confident that he would become a middle rank knight in 1 month so he was surprised when he was suddenly invited like this.

"Phew...."

Breathing out all the tension in his body, He entered the room calmly.

CLUCK~

As he entered through the door, he could see a man with ash-grey hairs who looked to be in his 50s.

When his eyes landed upon the figure, goosebumps started rising from all over his body.

\'he is a monster as expected....he is one of the master Swordsman of the Cravion kingdom after all\'

With his senses improved, Zick could feel the ominous feeling around the man.

"So you came at last"

Zevkoras was able to feel Zick\'s presence for a long time before he even reached in front of the door. But still acted along to let Zick relax.

Zevkoras had been watching Zick\'s progress the past year and was satisfied with him.

Zick had his unwavering smile on his face like always, he knew that zevkoras could feel his presence but still didn\'t say anything about it.

"Yes, I have come as you ordered father"

Zick said with a smile showing etiquette he has learned in the past year.

After turning 10 years old he didn\'t need to take any of his history, ball dancing or aristocratic behaviour classes any more which satisfied him a lot. Now he could solely train in mana and sword skill without worry.

Looking at his behaviour, Zevkoras was surprised, he had met Zick when he had turned 5 years old, at that time he would always stutter and not see into his eyes as if he was scared of something.

"Then, I have a task for you"

Zevkoras said with a cold expression not showing his surprise.

\'Task..?\'

Zick looked towards Zevkoras, waiting for him to continue explaining.

"The first daughter of Duke garcia is going to turn 10 years old so they are going to keep a ceremonial party, the Melvix family has been invited too"

He started explaining the reason behind him calling Zick leisurely.

\'Stella Garcia...\'

Zick had almost forgotten about her in this past year, he didn\'t know there was going to be a twist in the plot like this so early.

"And another thing, what do you think the Melvix family should give as a gift to Stella Garcia"

Zevkoras asked with a probing smile.

Zick head started working at full speed to see if there was anything Stella liked in the novel.

\'Nothing....\'

There wasn\'t or at least he doesn\'t remember anything like that. But he remembers some of the information about Stella which could be useful right at the moment.

The fact that Stella Garcia has a weak constitute should be known by now in the noble society.

"I heard that Miss Stella has a weak constitute so I recommend giving something that can be useful to her health"

Hearing Zick\'s answer, Zevkoras could only nod his head as he also thought the same thing.

"The party is in a week so be ready in the morning tomorrow, a carriage will be waiting for you in the front of the estate"

"....yes"

After Zick went away, in a few minutes a woman in her 30s entered the estate\'s Lord room.

She looked beautiful with dark purple hair and a slim body even in her thirties.

"....why are you sending that deadbeat to an important party like this"

But right now there was a frown on her beautiful face with dissatisfaction written all over her face.

She was the mother of the first born son of the Melvix family and the main wife of Zevkoras. Her name was Clare Melvix.

She was already a bit dissatisfied with Zick staying in the Melvix estate unlike the other heirs.

Zevkoras had sent all the other heirs away from the estate to complete the task given to them.

That is the reason Zick hasn\'t met any of the other heirs in the past year.

"Like I said, we will give him a task too when he turns 12 year old, you don\'t have to be so dissatisfied"

He could tell what his wife was thinking with a single glance.

"We have already talked about this, there is nothing else to be decided, you can take your leave clare"

Zevkoras said with cold eyes as he looked at his wife. The air around him changed along with his mood.

Taking a look at Zevkoras face, Clare backed down and left the room without saying anything else.

"hmph! That scheming woman is going after Zick too?"

Another voice could be heard in the room when Clare stepped out.

Suddenly a person with black robe covering his whole body appeared in the corner of the room.

"Be sure to protect Zick until he turns 12 year old, I can\'t let any of the heir who have talent die just like that"

If Zick died after becoming 12 years old, then he was just not talented enough to become the next head of the Melvix family.

​ "yes"

The person with black robe vanished in thin air after saying this, he is one the master Assassin in the Melvix family.

Zevkoras puts a master assassin as a guard to any of the heirs whom he finds talented enough to protect.

And Zick was more than just talented, even genius didn\'t fit him. He was able to become a low rank knight before even turning 10 years old.

After meeting with him, Zevkoras could say that he was in the peak of the low rank with just a glance. He is a master swordsman, anyone who reaches this rank has already surpassed human limits to a large degree.

"hahaha, you should enjoy your time until you turn 12 years old"
