Chapter 253: Future Plans

Chapter 253: Future Plans

Miles and Malcolm sparred for half an hour, yet Miles couldnt even touch the hem of his clothes. Malcolm was controlling his strength, yet he was still too fast and experienced for Miles. Any technique Malcolm was using was low-tier, yet when executed by him, they had different charms.

For example, Malcolm was using Baron Green Knights Charge too, but the distance he could travel, the execution time of the technique, and the movements he was doing to execute the technique were times and times better than Miles.

In an analogy, it was like drawing a house. With the same pen and paper, Miles had to draw a hundred lines to form the house, while Malcolm was able to do it by drawing 50 lines. His speed of drawing and quality of the lines were much better than Miless too. In the end, Malcolm could deliver a better painting in less time by using fewer materials.

Of course, that was all thanks to his vast experience. Miles would catch up with him sooner or later.

Seems like you will not be able to touch me. Malcolm grinned after noticing Miles was sweating bullets. The energy wasnt infinite after all, and Miles was executing techniques bountifully. He was running out of energy and his movements were getting clumsy.

Alright, my final attack, Miles said and raised his hand in the shape of a claw. His nails protruded from his fingers like fine claws. Miles raised his hand above his head and vanished with Charge. He was a few steps away from Malcolm when he swung his hand downward.

The claws cut the air like beams of light, and five beams shone in Malcolms eyes. He was so shocked, he forgot to evade the attack, but luckily his body was too strong to get hurt by Miles. Five beams landed on his body and made him take a step back, but he didnt seem to notice it. He was still looking at Miles with bewilderment.

This attack? He asked. Couldnt finish what he wanted to say.

Yeah, it was aliens. I was trying to mimic it for the last six months, and finally managed to do it. Miles smirked.

Malcolms face twitched for a while then laughed heartily. I have a genius son. Haha! He was beaming with joy. Lets go. Your mother was worried about you.

Soon, they left the training grounds and Miles grabbed Coin. They moved to the study room. Mercer, Evelyn, and Merlin were there too. Marcela started her obligatory service in the Police Force when she turned 20 a few months back. Of course, Mercer found her a safe place to laze or enter the Portal World all day, but she still had to be there most of the time.

Congratulations, brother. Now you are a real hunter! Merlin was the first to greet.

Son, are you sure about it? Do you know how they test right? Malcolm.

Hah! As if you can join there. Mercer.

You shouldnt worry about it. I will be taking the alternative test since I dont have any superpowers. Miles said with a bright smile.

Oh, right. All four of them exclaimed at the same time.

You cant! Mercer shouted after a while. You are a Cross and you should attend our academy!

Father! Evelyn stopped Miles while stopping Mercer. We talked about this.

At the time he was just an Mercer started but didnt finish his sentence.

An what? Miles smirked as he looked at his grandfather. An Oafish? A useless person? A cripple?

Now that I proved to everyone that I am not inferior, you want to control me once again?

I am just doing what is the best for the family, Mercer answered back with a righteous expression. Daughter of the Barretto Family will start our academy this year. I want you to accompany her during her stay. She will also visit this week. You two can get to know each other.

Mercer! Miles called out his grandfather in an ominous tone. He looked at the old man in a cold manner. Although he was a lot weaker than the old beast, he was truly angered.

Father! Malcolm too looked at the General with a disappointed look. You lost all your rights over Miles when you stopped him from using the name of Cross. I told you over and over again, Miles is free to do whatever he wants.

Fine! Mercer waved his arms as he stormed out. Fine. Go and die in that stupid test! See if I care!
