Chapter 20: Mana Coating

Chapter 20: Mana Coating

A new day in the city of Tryston. Today, in the estate of the Suarez family, the servants and maids seemed to be in a good mood. After all, the engagement between their young master and the young lady of the Raven family became official.

As mentioned before, the Suarez family has two training grounds, One for the guards and servants. Another for the family members.

Today is the day Luis and Alicia's training under Lumine will begin. Walking past the guards and getting greeted by many servants, Luis finally arrived at the private training grounds. He found Lumine and Alicia already waiting for him.

"You guys arrived early," He said, getting closer to them.

"It's you who is late." Lumine snorted in dissatisfaction. "Since when did you start taking so long to get ready?"

Luis was a little embarrassed. How could he say he wasn't used to his handsomeness? So, he lost track of time admiring himself.

Seeing him standing there awkwardly. Lumine snorted and said, "Whatever, let's begin."

"But before we start, Alicia." She suddenly looked at Alicia.

"Yes?" Alicia asked.

"Can you tell me your attribute?" Lumine asked.

Alicia nodded and activated her Mana. Soon, the surrounding temperature became a little colder and an ice shard formed in the air.

"I-Ice." Lumine was surprised and then became happy. Ice attribute is also one of the rarest attributes, just like lightning. But that wasn't the reason for her happiness. "You have the same attribute as Maria."

Alicia nodded gently.

"Hehe, this will be interesting. I am going to be teaching a pair of geniuses." Lumine became a little smug about something and expectant for the future.

Alicia glanced at Luis, wondering what element he has.

"Okay, first show me how much control you have over Mana."

Both of them did as they were told and started channeling mana.

"Hmm, It's good enough. Well, we can get to the next step then." To be honest, Lumine was a little shocked looking at the little monsters in front of her. But she wasn't here to praise them.

"The first thing I am going to teach you is Mana coating." Both Alicia and Luis listened to her seriously.

"For your combat, no matter the type of weapon you use. Mana coating is the basic thing you must know."

"Mana coating just as the name suggests is coating your mana around your body or weapon to increase the destructiveness." Although the meaning is simple, the process was long and tiring.

"See you at dinner," Luis said, to which Alicia replied with a wave of her hand. She was too exhausted to reply. She just wanted to have a good shower now.

Returning to his room. Luis hopped in the shower and cooled his mind while cleaning his exhausted body.

***

At the dinner table, four people could be seen eating dinner peacefully. "So, how was the training?"

"They have a lot to learn," Lumine replied.

Ronald looked into her eyes and decided to ask her the truth later. "I see," he nodded, then looked at the two of them. "You guys will need to put in a lot of effort."

Luis and Alicia had grim expressions on their faces, but they nodded, nonetheless.

Suddenly Luis changed the topic and asked, "Dad, did you find anything about them?"

Luis' sudden question caught him off-guard. Ronald looked at Luis, then gave a glance at Alicia.

"I have told her."

Ronald nodded his head and said, a little frustrated, "Not yet. We couldn't find any traces."

"We did a thorough investigation of our enemies and found many of their secrets. But no trace of anything related to your incident."

Alicia's expression also became a little disappointed. That was the same result she got after all the efforts she put in searching them over these years.

Luis lightly patted her head and said, "Dad, let me do the investigation."

Ronald and Lumine, who were looking at their intimate actions, became stunned. "You want to search for them yourself?"

Luis sighed and explained, "Dad, I need to learn a lot of things. I can't always be under your or Mom's protection. I want to take my revenge myself. So let us do the investigation."

Taking revenge himself doesn't mean he is going to kill them himself. He will only lead the team.

"Us? Is Alicia also taking part in this?" Lumine asked.

Luis nodded and said, "They are from the same organization that killed Alicia's mom."

"What?" Lumine stood up from her seat at this sudden revelation. She looked at Alicia to confirm again, "Is this true?"

Seeing Alicia nod, Lumine's breathing became intense. She was furious. The same organization that killed her best friend now tried to kill her son, too. How can she retain her calmness?Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
