The Duke's Eldest Son Escaped to the Military ⓘ(STOPPED)

Ch. 5 - Running Away From Home (1)

█████████████

A few months had passed since then and Jaiden was now finally nine years old. He had been extremely absorbed in his training while he taught his youngest brother.

But as soon as he turned nine years old, his schedule became even busier. There were many reasons for his busy schedule but the biggest reason was the changes related to his force and strength.

First of all, he started to focus on his training since he was already approaching the 2nd Stage. Perhaps some would wonder how he was able to reach the 2nd stage not long after awakening his mana but as far as he was concerned it was all thanks to the simple path that he chose in his swordsmanship.

Since he was training in Basic Swordsmanship, he was able to build up mana in his muscles and bones which began to resonate with his mana heart. It was helping him to grow stronger at a rapid pace. In other words, the imprinting of swordsmanship that he was doing before had helped him promote his growth.

He wondered if he could continue to focus on Basic Swordsmanship. After all, the restrictions of Basic Swordsmanship were as clear as day. And as his stage continued to increase, the limitations of this swordsmanship would continue to be revealed. However, he believed that even if this path was difficult and arduous, nothing would be more difficult than imprinting a high-level swordsmanship that was not suited to him from the very beginning.

Second, he had already secretly passed an application to join the military behind the eyes of his family.

The Northern Military Training Camp, although accepting recruits at a tender age of nine, did not need the children's parental consent for children joining them. Their only reason for this was the fact that there weren't enough applicants for the Northern Army. Because of this, they were willing to accept people who had stories and secrets that they wanted to keep.

In fact, there were more than enough people who wanted to apply. However, there were also a lot of people who died every time. As a result, the Northern Army always cried out that they lacked people.

Third, he already knew what his incomplete talent was all about. Finding out about this was just a coincidence, but it all started when he was teaching the youngest and he asked him about the divine beast.

"How does it feel to have a divine beast? I heard that having spirits also has a weird sense of feeling..."

This was a question that he asked when he felt a bit ashamed. After all, the more he taught him, the more he felt that he was running out of things to teach.

But the brat answered him as if he was also unsure of how to describe it.

"I think it feels like you're communicating with nature? But I feel like I've also gotten a lot closer with animals?"

When Jaiden looked at him with an expression that screamed 'What the hell are you on about?'. Aiden just shrugged his shoulders saying that it was hard to explain it in words. Then, he suddenly found out when he asked the White Lion if he did not have any talent with divine beasts.
