Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Damn it, what did you do that for?" he asked and she sighed.

"Didn't you purposefully blow a whistle?" she asked, and he turned away from her.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, you must be tired," he replied, and she chuckled before sitting down and looking at him.

"Perhaps, what are you doing here?" she asked.

"I came for water, training out there is difficult but effective," he responded as he entered the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water, and she smiled.

"Yeah, I know it's a lot harder to train out here," she said, chuckling. "Team one members trained a lot and I watched, I would say don't push it, but it would just waste my breath."

"You are right, maybe you should come and train with us," he replied and she looked at him as he drank the water.

"I am not joining you guys, no thank you," she said.

"Are you afraid?" he asked, her brow furrowed and a smirk appeared on his face.

'I know he's trying to provoke me, but I'm just not in the mood to train today; all I want to do is play lazy,' Adora thought with a smile on her face.

"That's a dark smile, so are you going to join us?" he asked and she exhaled deeply.

"No, I'm not going to; I just want to relax; I'm going to sit and eat ice cream; you guys, keep working hard; it's good for you," she responded, and he scoffed.

"Well, this is new, you would rather play lazy today?" Kyris asked as he walked into the kitchen and they looked at him.

"Is there anything wrong with being lazy?" she asked, and Alix smiled.

"No, I just didn't expect you of all people to refuse, I guess a lot is changing," Kyris responded and Adora smirked.

"No matter what you say, I'm not joining, so leave me alone," she said as she stood up and went into the kitchen, where she grabbed an ice cream and they smiled.

"Do you want to come to watch us train? You can eat your ice cream because it's not too hot outside "Alix said and she looked at him.

"I'll take you up on that," she replied, and Kyris laughed as they left the mansion and went to the others, who were staring at Adora as she sat on a rock and opened her ice cream.

"Sharing?" Ifrit asked.

"Yeah, train first," she responded and they laughed as they began training while Adora ate her ice cream.

While they were practicing, lightning began to flash around Ayden's palms, and Adora smiled as he touched one of the trees and it blew a hole through it, causing the tree to collapse.

"Try moving the lightning around your body, Ayden, it will help," Alix suggested, and Ayden smiled before doing what Alix said, and Adora smiled.

"How come you're not participating?" Kyris inquired as he sat next to her, panting.

"They are monstrous when it comes to training, you are beat as well, and it hasn't been so long since you guys started training as well, I don't feel like it, all I feel like doing right now is relax," she replied and he patted her on the shoulder.

"I understand, and you are correct about them being monstrous in training," he said as he rejoined them, and she chuckled.

"Sarah, you can use the sword pretty well; do you want to train with me and Eliza?" Serina asked, and the girls exchanged glances before agreeing, and the three of them began training together.

During the training, Adora noticed Aerav getting a lot better with Ifrit training him and she felt a bit relieved, knowing they were all getting stronger the more they train and improve their skills.

"Kyris, you have gotten much stronger as well," Adora said and he looked at her.

"Thank you, I have been working on a few extra skills, I have yet to master them," he replied as she stood up while eating her ice cream and looked at them closely. Her eyes began to glow red as she stared at their auras, and a smirk appeared on her face.

"What's the matter?" Alix asked as she looked at him, then her eyes went back to normal.

"I can tell from your aura that you have all grown stronger; also, Kyris, try not to use your staff," Adora responded before sitting back down, and he put his staff away and began training without it while using magic.

'This is great, one loss pushed them to become much stronger, once they reach their full potential, they will be difficult to beat,' Adora thought with a sigh, then looked up at the trees when her eyes widened as a purple matter hit one of the trees and instead of collapsing, the entire tree shattered and she flung up from her seat then turned around and Alix smiled.

"That's risky," she said.

"She's right, they're like bombs, only deadlier," Aerav added, as Alix sighed.

"Well, that will come in handy," Kyris smirked.

"You are all monstrous," Adora said, and they laughed as Alix's eyes began to glow purple and the sword appeared in his hand, with the others moving back a little as the glow spread on the sword.

'What is he up to?' she wondered, and he looked at her before slashing the air, causing the tree in front of him to collapse and the earth beneath it to crack a little.

"I'm enjoying it; he's finally seeing what he's capable of," Kyris said, as Adora sighed then smiled.

"Yeah, that makes him more dangerous," she replied and he nodded.

"You're correct, this helps all of us, once they reach their full potential, a lot will change, I know they are strong, especially Alix, how much stronger he gets, it doesn't matter as long as he defeats the enemy, right?" Kyris asked, and Adora lowered her head.

"Right," she responded then they continued training.

Adora watched them for hours while pointing out other things they could do to improve their attacks, and they listened to her because it actually worked.
