n“Lucas, you have a huge mana pool, so you have the talent for Magic,” Sylvie calmly explained why he could not choose the path of swords.

n“Okay,” Lucas looked a bit gloomy. He wanted to practice and learn from Asher, who he saw as his idol, but it seemed he was not suited for the path of the sword.

n“Oh, come on, being a mage is more fun!” Amelia tried to cheer him up.

nAsher didn’t say anything as he knew Lucas would be happier being a mage in the World Academy than being a swordsman.

n“What path should I choose?” Livia was eager to learn about her talents.

n“You can choose the path of the sword, sweetheart!” Sylvie checked her mana veins and told her.

nThis made Lucas even sadder. He wanted to become a protector for Livia, not someone who would rely on her and cast spells from the back. He didn’t like being a mage one bit.

n“Don’t worry, Lucas, I will protect you from now on,” Livia puffed out her chest and tried to cheer up her brother.

nLucas didn’t reply and just smiled back at her. He was happy to see that Livia was cheerful.

n“Okay, you guys go and practice now and feel the mana inside your body,” Sylvie instructed them.

n“Livia, if Grandpa Nathan comes back on time, you can learn from him, or Arthur will take some time to train you. And Lucas, you can learn from me after you finish consolidating the mana inside your body,” Sylvie patted Lucas’s head.

n“I will see you guys a bit later. I need to inform Arthur about this good news as well,” Sylvie smiled and left the room.

nFour talents in the same family meant that the Grevilles had even more power in the future. Although there were others who were also talented, nobody had four such talented youngsters in their household. This also meant that the moment this news leaked, many powers could try to harm these kids.

nSylvie was not only going to inform Arthur but assign personal guards, like Emmy, to the other three as well. Amelia already had some security following her around, but she did not have a personal bodyguard like Emmy. Although the twins and Amelia might not feel that comfortable with their new guards, it was a necessary step for their security.

n“I will leave as well. You guys can carry on,” Asher also left after Sylvie.

n“Okay, I will stay with you guys if you encounter any problems,” Amelia started instructing them based on her experience.

n“Emmy, assign someone to keep watch in the mountain range I have bought recently, and if something happens there, inform me as soon as possible.” Asher instructed Emmy.

nHe was sure this was the month when the dungeon opened in the mountain range, and after that dungeon gate opened, Asher could finally carry out the plans he made for his new company.

n“And get me a guy from the information guild, use my name for it,” He knew that because Sylvie’s family owned the biggest information guild, using his own name, he could get the information needed much faster rather than going for an anonymous approach.

n“As you wish, Young Master,” Emmy left to get the tasks done, and Asher went to his training grounds to practice his sword.

nWhen he trained alone, he could perform without holding back since there was no one to watch him. The training grounds were covered with runes and only authorized personnel could enter without setting off an alarm. A week went by, and Nathan returned to teach the twins. Sylvie had already taught Lucas about basic spells and what he could achieve with his current abilities. Currently, both twins were G-Rank Hunters, but Lucas had formed an F-Rank core, which would allow him to reach F-Rank earlier than Livia, who had formed a G-Rank core.

nNathan taught the twins the mana circulation technique, but it took them some time to perform it perfectly. Nathan was patient and waited for them to master the technique before moving forward. Arthur sometimes joined for a casual spar with Nathan to show the twins his moves, but Nathan always defeated him. They limited their strength to ensure the twins could observe and learn from their fights. Asher, who was intrigued, sometimes watched to analyze their fights and identify gaps in their attacks.

nAsher had never seen Nathan’s swordsmanship in his previous life as he wasn’t interested in training and because of Nathan’s sudden death. He could now see why their enemies showed their true colors after his death. Although Arthur was also an SS-Rank Hunter, Nathan could easily overpower him. Asher could see the raw talent and effort behind Nathan’s strength.

nAfter learning the mana circulation technique, Nathan also taught Livia, who was interested in using the greatsword. Impressed by her enthusiasm, Nathan decided to teach her the basics. However, he was surprised at how quickly she learned, making him hesitate on whether to give her the rune. He decided to teach her a bit more and wait before making a decision. Meanwhile, Lucas focused on learning basic elemental spells to protect his family. He didn’t lament his less talent for swords than magic.

nThis continued for over two weeks. One evening, Asher came out of training and saw Emmy waiting for him.

n“Young Master, a Blue Dungeon Gate has appeared in the mountain range, and the mana readings show that it is E-Rank dungeon.” Emmy reported.

n‘Finally,’ Asher thought, smiling inwardly. “I’ll use it to test my training so far. Register it under Aztech, and ask the twins if they want to join me.”

nEmmy looked troubled. “But Young Master, it might be too soon for them to have such a scary experience.”

n“Don’t forget what that kid did before we took him from that place and don’t worry, tell Mom about it. She will not deny it,”Listening to his orders Emmy nodded as she left to inform the twins. She had already accepted Asher as an anomaly but she was not sure about taking the twins to a dungeon.

n“Yes, I will go!” Lucas immediately agreed to go with Asher.

n“Don’t worry, just follow Asher, but don’t fight monsters above F-Rank. I’m sure you guys can defeat an F-Rank monster together,” Sylvie knew that Asher wouldn’t make them fight any monster above F-Rank, so she accepted his decision because the twins needed some experience to continue their training further.

n“Wait! I will also go with them. It will be dangerous if only the brother goes with them,” Amelia decided to go with the twins. She was an F-Rank hunter herself, the same rank as Asher, so she could protect them just fine.

n“Okay, this will be a good bonding time for you guys,” Sylvie was happy that Amelia would go with Asher, but they forgot that they hadn’t told Asher about this.

nAsher had only told Emmy to ask the twins to come with him, as he wanted Lucas to get the first experience of facing a monster. This would help him realize his shortcomings and train with a goal in mind.

n“Okay, you guys can go tomorrow. Emmy, follow them to the Dungeon Gate and, if you sense any irregularities in the dungeon, take the team inside to help them. And tell Asher to wear the safety device at all times,” Sylvie ordered.

nAsher was busy with his training and didn’t attend dinner, so he was still unaware of Amelia joining them. When morning arrived, Asher got ready for his dungeon run, wearing his black combat outfit with straps to hold his sword, a storage ring, and a nano armor bracelet.

nAs he walked into the lobby, he saw Amelia and the twins dressed in their combat outfits. Although he expected only Lucas to come with him, he was surprised to see Amelia, a frown appearing on his face.

n“Why are you here?” he asked Amelia.

n“I came to follow you guys and protect the twins. Just for assurance that nothing bad happens,” Amelia replied quickly.

nAsher’s cold gaze then turned towards Emmy. “Why wasn’t I informed?”

n“I apologize, Young Master,” Emmy said, hanging her head down. “I forgot to inform you about this.” She didn’t realize that Asher wanted to keep his powers hidden and Amelia joining them was a problem for him.

n“Wait, don’t scold her,” Amelia interjected, seeing Emmy’s apologetic face. “It was my idea, and Mom’s, for me to go with you. But don’t worry, I won’t interfere with your fights. I’m just going to help these two since it’s their first time.” Amelia explained to Asher.

nAlthough Asher was already annoyed with the situation, he decided to let Amelia come with them. He had planned to take Lucas with him to get him comfortable with fighting F-Rank monsters at G-Rank, but he would have to change his plans.

n“Fine, but exit the dungeon when I tell you guys, and don’t question my decisions,” Asher said in a old voice, making everyone quiet. Lucas followed him quietly, but he was disappointed that his chance to accompany Asher throughout the dungeon was ruined.

nAmelia and Livia also followed behind him as Emmy followed them with the security team with her.
