Chapter 149: Sebe
Two weeks later Aiwai was flying at top speed with Yale and Wyba in her arms.
In two weeks, Wyba advanced to the 5-star Novice and Yale reached the absolute peak of the 6-star Novice, but he didn’t advance.
Yale could advance at any moment, but he chose to not advance on purpose and focused training martial arts and archery after having reached his current level.
Yale wanted to win, but seeing that Aiwai wasn’t expecting his win even knowing his power, Yale decided to keep the breakthrough as a trump card.
The Origin Points will restore completely at the breakthrough, and his stats would also grow due to the accumulated energy in his body, currently limited by his realm.
Yale thought that in a critical point a sudden breakthrough could change the battle, the opponent would be expecting much less strength than the real one, giving him a chance to surprise the opponent.
Of course, he could do the same with Bloodline Force since Wyba was already at the 5-star Novice, his strength would be even higher than making a breakthrough. However, Yale noticed that the more power he increased with Bloodline Force, the more difficult it became supporting it for a long time.
Thus, Bloodline Force was reserved as a last resort, using it his power would be comparable to a peak starless Apprentice. Having such strong boost skills was strange, although the bloodline could be used to power up by almost everyone with good bloodlines, the Bloodline Force of Yale and Wyba was far more powerful than a normal boost with the bloodline.
That kind of boost was still alright in the Mortal Rank, but usually, the efficiency diminishes at the Novice Rank even if the bloodline also turned stronger. The case of Yale and Wyba was an exception.
“We are almost there, remember to behave well in the city, there are people more powerful than me, and it is better to not start a battle if we can avoid it.”
Aiwai had reached the 1-star Elder Rank after increasing more her bloodline with the Bloodline Fruits and consuming a lot of resources, but there were other people at the Elder Rank present for the training camp. Aiwai was, without doubt, the youngest of all the people at the Elder Rank in the area, thanks to that she had won the respect of the others, but in strength almost all of those at the Elder Rank surpassed her.
“Welcome! Aiwai, it is a pleasure to see you again in my city. Nice to meet you, young friends, I am the city chief. Aiwai spoke very well about both of you.”
The city chief looked like an old man and had goat horns in his head, by his words he seemed to have a very good impression of Aiwai.
Aiwai just nodded her head without speaking a word; she didn’t like wasting her words unless she was speaking with Yale or Wyba.
The city chief was a 2-star Elder, but Aiwai had confidence that with her advantage in the sky, she wouldn’t lose against him. After all, pure power wasn’t the only factor in a battle.
“So, you are Aiwai. I heard a lot about you, such a young lady already at Rank 7 is not something I see every day. Nice to meet you, my name is Sebe. I am a prince of the Anpaes Kingdom, son of the current king.”
A young man with lion ears and a long hair bowed slightly to Aiwai. He wasn’t strong compared to her and the city chief, merely at the 6-star Veteran Rank, the Rank 5. However, his status as someone in the royal family was enough to be in a higher position than everyone else.
“Nice to meet you, prince Sebe. They are my little brother Yale and my little sister Wyba. Will prince Sebe also participate in the training camp?”
Aiwai was polite towards the Sebe, offending someone of the royal family was something she didn’t want to do.
“Of course not. I am already seventeen; even if I am the youngest prince, there is no way I participate in a training camp for kids. I heard that all the geniuses in the area would gather here, so I wanted to see them with my own eyes. I was just bored; you don’t need to bother too much about my presence.”
Sebe wasn’t someone who liked to abuse of his status, as long others didn’t offend him, he wouldn’t try to look for problems either.
Aiwai and Yale sighed in relief; they knew that it was better to avoid battling with someone of the royal family even for a training. Furthermore, being at the Rank 5 at such a young age demonstrate the power of his bloodline, a grandson of the founder of the Anpaes Kingdom.
Although Sebe’s bloodline was weaker than his grandfather’s bloodline, his bloodline was comparable to his father’s bloodline and even among his brothers and sisters he had one of the best bloodlines.
“Nice to meet you. I am Yale.”
Yale just bowed slightly while saying that, he showed respect for the prince, but he didn’t look at him with admiration like most kids did.
Wyba, just imitated her brother, she didn’t understand very well the situation, so she limited to do the same as his brother.
Sebe noted that Yale and Wyba were just polite, but they didn’t feel any admiration towards him. However, he wasn’t offended by it. Instead, he was pleased; he was tired of everyone looking at him with such admiration just because of his ancestry.
It wasn’t that he didn’t like to be admired, but he wanted to be recognized by his own merits. However, even when people praised his training speed, the reason was always attributed to his bloodline, no one had never praised his hard work.
Sebe’s bloodline was awesome, but he was also someone who liked to train and put all his efforts in turning stronger, the fact people admired him attributing all his efforts to the bloodline hurt him a lot.
He would rather like people just not admiring him than admiring him for his bloodline.
“How old are you two?”
Sebe felt that Yale and Wyba were quite powerful for their young looks.
“Both of them just turned five years old two weeks ago; they are twins.”
Aiwai replied instead of them; she feared that Yale would try to say that he was older than his true age and offend Sebe. Sebe wouldn’t be offended by such thing, but the fear against the royal family put AIwai in an extremely cautious mode.
“Oh, just five and that strong? They sure have an awesome bloodline, but looking at their sister, it isn’t surprising.”
The city chief laughed saying those words while he attributed all the effort Yale and Wyba put to training to their bloodlines. That was the most usual way of thought in the Anpaes Kingdom.
“This isn’t due to only our bloodline. We also trained hard.”
Yale said that without thinking it two times, he and Wyba had trained a lot to reach their levels, although they had some help, they had put all their effort into training.
“Yeah, trained hard, sure. You kids think that you are training hard, but you are just relying on your bloodlines, training hard is only a fantasy for us. For half-beast like us, bloodlines are the only thing which mattered. Look at Prince Sebe, he has the best bloodline and thus is the strongest of his generation. Bloodlines, all is due to bloodlines; we have to live according to that, trying to train hard is useless. If you want to train, just practice your skills or some weapon.”
In most people eyes, training to increase the practice level was useless; it was better to just focus on training other things. Yale was about to reply to the city elder when Sebe interrupted.
“You are wrong.”
The city chief was shocked; he never expected that someone with an exalted bloodline like Sebe would be against his words.
“What is wrong, prince?”
Sebe was in a bad mood after hearing the city chief’s words while at the same time, he felt empathy for Yale, Sebe knew very well how it feels having your own hard-work denied by others and attributed everything to the bloodline.
“I won’t enter into a discussion about how training works on us with you because you are a narrow-minded old man without future. However, even for someone like you, understanding that training had effects of Yale and Wyba should be easy. Both are twins and have the exactly same bloodline, right?”
Aiwai nodded, she didn’t know why the prince was helping Yale, but she wouldn’t refuse the help as the prince had a status higher than the city chief and having a good relationship with him was better than a bad one.
“Same bloodline, same age and different level of training. Why? Because of training. Training has obvious effects on them, that is undeniable. Do you understand it now?”
