While Davis was in the study, he was soon called by a young maid for dinner.
Even before he entered the main hall, the amiable laughter and the sounds of talking could be heard. Other than his parents and younger Sister, Jader, there was a voice of an Elderly man he had never heard before.
When he walked into the hall, everyone inside looked over in his direction. When the unfamiliar old man saw Davis, he practically jumped up from his seat. It was clear from his mannerisms that he was extremely Excited.
The old man had short-clean blonde hair, arched brows, and a few wrinkles around his nose with a small golden gem on his fore head; all in all, he must have been a dashing young man. When compared with his father, the man exuded a less dominant aura, more of one with gentlemanly elegance and an amiable vibe.
This man was the renowned Bishop Rodney ClearHeart, High priest of the Sun God, Ragol.
Bishop Rodney was Cilldean Kingdom's renowned number one monstrous genius, and also the strongest high human in the kingdom, someone that his father spoke of often, telling the previous body owner to make this man his goal.
Watching as Davis walked in, an excited and shivering Bishop Rodney quickly took a few steps forward, calling out: "A good one!!"
.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, Bishop Rodney, as a Bishop and one of Cilldean kingdom's big families, The 'Clear hearts', He should not be here.
This was because the 'Fairchild' clan was not even close to the same level and he was someone who represented the Sun God in Cilldean.
Davis looked at Bishop Rodney, he bowed slightly and said with pursed lips, "your eminence!."
"good good good, a fine seed Lord Fairchild." Bishop Rodney patted Davis's shoulder and returned to his seat.
Bishop Rodney's seat was lateral to his parents' seat whereas Jader sat in the seat next to his mother, so he chose the seat next to Jader.
Studying Davis opposite of him, Bishop Rodney nodded inwardly in satisfaction. From his first impression, the impression Davis gave him was not bad… at least he showed none of the noble children's unwarranted proud arrogance and impudence.
The few of them continued to talk happily in the main hall with bouts of cheery laughter ringing out from time to time.
At first, Davis acted a little reserved. However, as time wore on with the jokes and laughter, he gradually relaxed,
"Big brother's Academy competition some months ago, I wish you were there father." Jader recalled enthusiastically, " Big brother was praised endlessly saying Big brother is truly a talented genius, and not even the Academy's Senior knights were his opponent!"
This brought laughter out from everyone and Bishop Rodney couldn't help Nodding his head, Davis soon felt a headache coming on as he laughed awkwardly.
In the main hall, after the everyone left, Lord Fairchild asked Bishop Rodney, "your eminence, what do you think about Davis?"
Bishop Rodney laughed, "this old man is pleased and it doesn't look like he has any residual dark mana...if anything, his Aura is very pure."
Lord Fairchild took a glance at the retreating Davis, and Su Yan said, "Then, in another few days, your Eminence, I will accompany him to make a trip to the Capital to take the Sacred Oath. If Young miss Clearheart agrees, then we will set down this marriage!"
Bishop Rodney nodded, "then it's decided, as Our Lord, sent us a prophecy of him being our savior, I had already chosen to take him as my first disciple...as for little Ella, leave that issue...she won't be a problem".

After accompanying his parents for Dinner, Davis returned to his room and began to practice his swordsmanship, feeling a sense of urgency.
yesterday after a few explanations from Jader, he noticed His mana had almost advanced into the second circle of evolution and the previous body owner hid it to himself. this confused Davis greatly but he didn't have time to think about it as he now needed to strive for his battle experience to recover as soon as possible.
a new term would start in a month, and there were eight months until next year's annual Grand summoning. Thus, He had eight months to further enhance himself before the Summoning as there were usual spars between the younger generation.
Once again, Fairchild Mansion was basked in a festive mood with a flurry of activities. This year, there were many more joyful occasions that it had when compared to previous years.
Not only was it due to Davis being the Academy's top Champion or because Davis had become the Arch Bishop Rodney's first disciple but it was because Davis Fairchild and Camella Clearheart's engagement ceremony was set!
A day ago, the Lord, Davis and young miss Jader paid a visit to the Clear heart Mansion at the Capital city of Cilldean. the Clearheart patriarch was delighted, thus Fairchild and Clearheart had their children's engagement and wedding plans set down.
Listening to the cheerful hustle and bustle up and down Fairchild Mansion, Davis did not what to feel as everything felt like a blur to him.
In roughly ten days, he was now one of the most influential younger generation member. At that time, when he took the sacred oath, his Mana density and the fact that he was about going through his second circle of evolution had been exposed!!. Making him the same level as the kingdom's young geniuses, second only to the first princess who was already mid way passed her second circle of evolution.
On the other hand, he was promoted to a Baron as though the Queen couldn't wait to tie him to the kingdom, he was pretty sure that if the engagement didn't take place, she would have given him one of her daughters, in fact, it was still a possibility. and Even though this happened, there was no reaction from Prime Minister Malik's side.
"Haaaa...." Davis sighed as he watched his mother and sister go through clothes with Beaming smiles.

Same day.
Black moon village.
Alex pursed his lips in a way that made it look like he was pouting, his protruding fangs quivered as his brows twitched. standing before him was an unknown Dog faced creature with an arrogant looking face claiming that he was a blacksmith.
"So your saying that, you want to work for me?" Alex asked.
"Yes" the kobold said.
"And that you want me to beg for your services?"Alex asked again.
" Yes, that is so" it answered while nodding seriously.
Alex's eyebrows twitched further as he looked at this fellow, "Were you perhaps hit in the head or something? No...I mean I have to ask, Are you Normal?"
_______________
Four days Prior.
Alex sat on huge Rock while planning his next moves, "No Matter how I see it, the best option is to make everyone evolves further".
" Did you say something brother " Urim suddenly spoke from behind shocking Alex. Urim stood there with a Black fur cloth tied around his waist just like Alex and held a great sword in his hands.
This fellow automatically made himself Alex's personal guard since he thought him the best ways to use his skills.
The fellow lucked out with a rare skill, [Whirlwind] as Alex had come to name it. it allows the user spin twice while waving his weapon in a chaotic manner, increases chances of beheading and has a knock back effect. Alex felt that it was possible to use it to block attacks too but he has no way to know yet, so he had been making the orcs and goblins spar often to acc.u.mulate experience and for him to understand their skills. The most intriguing so far was Dabok as his evolution was magic oriented, so Alex was very interested.
"Chief!!!...We see Human Box in the valley" a Goblin in a rough black robe said as he approached, dragging the rest of the robes with his hands.
"...a carriage you mean?..." Alex quickly understood and decided to see first, "Let's go...".
