Chapter 2: Wait…System!!

"Dad!Dad!Dad!"

Darell burst through his father's office.

"What? Why are you yelling so much? Can't you see I have to finish all this paperwork by tomorrow?"His father scolded him.

Darell's father, Ralph Rogers, was a lowly Baron who presided over the Barony of Xena.

"Dad! Hahahaha! I did it."

"What? What did you do?"

Ralph started sweating while thinking of the worst things his son could have done.

"I got invited to enter the Varona Royal Academy. They will hold a special test for me."

Darell exclaimed.

"W-WH-WHAT?? H-HOW?? B-BUT THEY DON'T HOLD A SPECIAL TEST FOR A LOWLY BARON'S SON.

BOY!

WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO TELL ME SUCH A LIE?"

Ralph gripped Darell's shoulders tightly and stared at him for a full minute.

Darell smirked at his father.

"Dad. You know I have exceeded your expectations from birth. Of course, I have an invitation ."

He took out an envelope which Ralph grabbed and started reading its contents.

He sat down on his chair and sipped his coffee coolly as if nothing that has happened managed to faze him.

"So, what is your innate ability?"Ralph asked while looking at him with a questioning gaze.

Darell smirked at him and flipped his hair.

"Space"

Ralph spat out his coffee and coughed out loud.

"Cough.....Cough.....Cough.....BOY! SHOW ME OR ELSE!"

Darell continued smirking at his father. He took a pen from the desk and placed it on his palm. He closed his eyes and then opened them. His eyes were completely black and if you look closely you can see small white orbs of light glittering like stars in those eyes. The pen vanished from his palm and then a second later appeared on his palm.

Ralph didn't even dare to blink through this demonstration. His eyes were fixated on the pen that appeared on his son's palm.

Darell closed his eyes and then opened them revealing his normal azure-colored eyes.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Ralph started laughing maniacally.

"To think my son has the space ability that was lost for ten thousand years. I am truly blessed. Now all those old fools who looked down on me and boasted about their sons' and daughters' achievements will get a slap on their face when they hear this."

Ralph thought about the various proposals and alliances he will receive from the  Viscounts, Counts, and Dukes that looked down upon him. He sneered at them inwardly and started hatching a scheme where he will obtain the most benefits.

Darell rolled his eyes as he knew what his father was thinking. He got up from his chair and walked out of the office until he heard his father shout at him.

"Darell! Wait"

Darell turned around and looked at him.

"Tomorrow is your 18th birthday, right? We will hold a banquet and invite several officials and people from the surrounding territories. We will announce your innate ability tomorrow."

"OK, Dad"

Darell walked towards his room. He touched the doorknob but he didn't open it. He placed his ear on the door and listened carefully. He heard rustling sounds and thought 'It seems my ability has brought nuisances home early.

He took a deep breath and took out a dagger from his boot. He broke open the door and pounced on the figure inside his room.

He was going to thrust the dagger into the assassin's body until he heard a scream.

"Kyaaa---- Stop! Big Brother. It's me."

Darell turned the assassin around. His serious expression turned normal.

"What are you doing in my room Lilith? If you need something from me then just ask. I will give it to you."

Darell wiped the tears from Lilith's eyes.

"Well, Are you going to tell me what are you trying to find in my room?"

Lilith turned her face to the side away from her brother's gaze and spoke nervously.

"B-Brother, I j-just wanted that crystal thing that you used to play with when you were younger."

Darell nodded and then took a crystal ball out from under his bed. He gave it to her and then asked," Why do you need this?"

She took a deep breath and her expression turned serious.

"Brother, I have a special ability. I think it's Ice ability but it sometimes shows Wind. I got confused and wanted the crystal ball to check which ability I have."

She placed her hands on the ball which started glowing with white light and the temperature of the room dropped but Darell could feel there was a slight wind flowing in the room.

He looked at the ball and confirmed his suspicions.

Lilith removed her hands from the ball and the room turned back to normal. She looked at her big brother. Darell's face changed into a wide smile and he hugged her tightly and stroked her hair.

He let go of her and patted her head and said" Lilith, you have the Mist ability."

Lilith's jaw dropped and she said" Brother! This ability is only acquired and cannot be innate. Then, this means I am exceptional ."

Her expression turned grim.

Darell noticed her expression and reassured her.

"Don't worry. Nobody is going to bother you. I have the Space ability. We will go to the Varona Royal Academy together ."

Lilith hugged her brother and said" Thank you"

Darell smiled and let go of her.

Lilith went out of his room.

Darell stopped her and said" Lilith! Tell Mom and Dad that I am skipping dinner today. I am tired and I need some sleep."

Lilith replied" But Brother. It's the middle of the day. How can you be so tired?"

"I don't know Lilith. Today was too much for me. I need some sleep. Please close the door on your way out."

"Fine" Lilith replied.

Darell laid down on his bed and instantly fell asleep.

At midnight,
