Chapter 3 - Only One Move

Both Maya and Shadow were facing each other waiting for the other party to make a move .

all youngsters in the training field stopped their training when they saw fairy Maya was going to spar with the number 1 trash in the family her twin brother Shadow.

Maya made the first move as she dashed towards Shadow slashing her wooden sword to his waist .

Her move was quite fast as people barely saw it but Shadow had sharp perception even if he couldn't follow her move using his eyes he could still expect where she was going to aim therefore he dodged slightly to the right which surprised Maya then he continued by slashing his sword towards her .

Maya quickly dodged his thrust when she saw Shadow smirk.She could sense something was wrong when she hurriedly looked down to see Shadow's left foot coming towards her legs.she couldn't react in time which followed by Shadow knocking her on the ground and leisurely placing his sword on her neck.

The training field became silent for a moment everyone thinking what just happened .

One of the youngsters watching had his mouth wide open as he said '' hhe .. he defeated fairy Maya with one move'' everyone turned to look to the youngster who just said that before they came to realization.

''Omg that trash is no joke ,he even defeated his genius sister with one move''

''Did she go easy on him because she didn't want to embarrass him ''

''How did he do that I can't believe what i just witnessed it must be because of that old sandwich i ate aargh that fucking old man he told me it had fresh meat''

People went into uproar discussing the scene that folded in front of them.

Lisa,Samantha and Maya were staring at Shadow unbelievably.

' i think I overdid it a little' Shadow said inwardly . He was so excited whenever he was involved in a fight he would always try to win he was a battle maniac .

Shadow was always bored in his last life but this one this world everything about it was thrilling he wanted to venture it and meet new people , fight them and be at the top .

''Are you alright darling?'' Shadow said to Maya while stretching his hand to help her stand.

"Humph i just slipped because i was tired from training for the whole day ,it's not like i was paying much attention to our spar in fact i was thinking about mom's delicious dinner while sparring so it doesn't count '' Maya said shamelessly as she dodged Shadow's gaze

''Hahaha well I can't say that you're wrong as big sister's food is otherworldly'' Lisa said while laughing trying to spare Maya the embarrassment.

Samantha looked at Shadow with her sparkling eyes as if he was her idol then she turned to stare at Maya while stretching her tongue and laughing''hahaha what a loser you lost to Shadow even though he is not even a cultivator''

'' if you think you can defeat him why don't you show us i might even learn something from you'' Maya said playfully.

'Idiot, do you think I'm stupid enough to go against him he might not be as strong as us in the future but right now no one in the younger generation can defeat him 'Samantha said inwardly as she and everyone knew how genius Shadow is bit it still came shocking for them witnessing him defeat Maya in one move .

Lisa was looking at Shadow and wondering'he's improving faster than the rest of the kids he even defeated Maya with only one move this time I really can't stand it how can this lovely smart and cute nephew be cripple ahh heaven is so unfair'

Lisa saw Maya holding Shadow's hand and laughing while heading home and remembered that tomorrow is the day of the awakening ceremony which will be Shadow's last day in the family .she felt bitterness in her mouth as her heart ached .she was so attached to her nephews specially Shadow .

' I don't know how she's going to take the bitter truth tomorrow' Lisa said while looking at Maya as she knew she had no idea of her brother leaving the family.

Sir Edgar instructed that no one tell Maya of such news as he didn't want her brother to hinder her cultivation . he knew how much the twin siblings loved each other.

Maya and Shadow arrived in front of a big house that resembled a small castle it was so beautiful with trees surrounding it giving it a magical effect.

They entered the house and a strong aroma of baking food struck their noses .

They went to the kitchen and were welcomed by Lana .she proceeded and went to hug her lovely children filling them with kisses and smiles. Shadow noticed that her grip tightened around him and her eyes were teary 'ahh i guess this is as far as i can stay here . I'm going to miss my beautiful lovely mother and sister .they gave me love and made me feel the warmth of having a lovely family 'Shadow concluded and sighed while wiping the tears from Lana's face without letting Maya noticed.

Lana looked at her son and understood that Shadow must have known what's coming as she knew how smart and sharp he was.

They sat down around the table ready to eat when they noticed some heavy steps coming towards them.

It was the sound of Edgar their father he rarely showed in this house .they knew only when he there was something important he want to say that he would come here and mostly it was related Maya.

Maya didn't really like her father because of his discrimination between her and her brother but she still listened to what he had to say.

''Welcome Edgar we didn't expect you coming''Lana said.

Edgar nodded at her and took a seat at the table.

They started eating and after a while Edgar turned to face Maya and said''Maya ,tomorrow's the awakening ceremony I'll come to take you to the main hall of the family in the morning so be ready.you should take some rest for the day and don't worry I'm sure you're going to have a core no less than a c rank''

Maya nodded at him with enthusiasm .

''Good ''Edgar said while standing he looked at Shadow and said ''you should prepare to take part in the ceremony too'' then he walked out of the room leaving them.

'So the family wants me to take part in the ceremony to make it official that I'm trash and don't deserve to be amongst them' Shadow said inwardly.
