The next day...
Mel was in the Duke's room where Mikail was sitting criss cross on his bed. Mel examined Mikail with magic and his eyes widened.
"Eh, what the hell," Mel shouted.
"What's wrong, Teacher Mel?"
"Your holy magic output has drastically increased it seems you've been blessed by a god," he said.
Noril looked shocked.
"Blessed by a god," he thought.
"Please don't get the wrong idea but take off your shirt and put your back towards me, Prince Mikail."
Mikail nodded and took off his shirt. Mel winced as he stared at the scars all over his back.
"There's so many scars," he thought.
He turned around and Mel placed his hand on his back, and he had mana around him. He healed the old wounds. Noril looked upset.
"He's healing my scars," he thought.
"A god has blessed Mikail, and his mana is a mixture of Dark and light mana. There's also a mixture of berserk mana. It's quite different than what it was before."
"That makes sense, since I was born with both qualities. I still can't believe that my soul was originally Mikail, and that there was a soulless body in this world, experiencing abuse and torture. No wonder I didn't have real parents in the other world because I was from a different world. To think someone wrote a story similar to the world I was from, maybe they were from this world as well, that Author, Snowflake," he thought
"I don't care about that, Mikail, did you tell the maids not to say anything about those scars," Noril asked while looking upset.
"I did."
There was a knock on the door. Noril sighed.
"We'll talk later, announce yourself and come in," Noril said.
Valen opened the door and saw the exhausted Noril, a shirtless Mikail, and Mel all in the room.
"Hey, did something happen to my student," He asked while looking towards the tired Noril.
"His eyes have so many bangs, and he looks so pale, and exhausted," he thought
"That's none of your concern, Duke Romenza," he said while yawning.
"Dad, you really didn't sleep last night," Mikail asked.
"No, but I finished all of my paperwork, so I could worry about you," Noril said.
Valen's expression looked grim as Noril looked his direction.
Valen walked over to Noril.
"What is it," Noril asked.
"You're not even telling me to get out of your room when you hate me, and you don't have your sword at all near you. You're too defenseless, Noril," he said.
"What? Shut up that isn't any of your business, why the hell are you so...," Noril asked before Valen tapped his forehead with his finger. Noril eyes widened before feeling a rush of exhaustion on his body.
"What the hell did you just...," Noril tried to say but his eyes closed as he fell forward.
Valen caught him as Noril had fallen against the larger man.
"Hey what the hell did you do to my Dad," Mikail shouted.
"Nothing but some sleep aid magic, he was trying so hard to stay awake, but I made him go to sleep with only a tap of magic to his brain, interesting right?"
"Huh?"
"He's was so tired it barely took any mana for him to fall asleep," he said.
"Dad."
Valen picked him up bridal style and place him on the bed next to Mikail.
"Look under his eyes, he was trying to hide it but Noril was completely exhausted. He tells you to take care of yourself but he won't take care of himself, this damn idiot," Valen said with a worried expression.
Valen sighed. Mikail looked his direction. Mel sighed as well.
"Honesty if Duke Romenza hadn't done that, he would of went the entire day completely exhausted from sleep, he's already bad with being able to sleep due to insomnia, tack on keeping himself awake while worrying about the state of his youngest, it's quite a stressful situation for, Duke Gruz," Mel said.
"Teacher Mel."
Mikail put his shirt back on and looked towards Valen.
"Let's do some training Duke Romenza," Mikail shouted.
"Alright, Mikail," he said.
After a while...
Mikail was still in the training grounds with Valen. Valen was surprised as his progress. His stance had already grown in a day.
"To think this child has already master the way to swing effectively with only a minimal amount of training yesterday, is insane," he thought.
Mikail clashed swords with Valen who easily parried the sword. Mikail jumped back with the force of the parry dodging the jabs from the wooden swords. 
"Are you just trying to take out your anger on me, Mikail," Valen asked.
"Ah, you could tell?"
"Yeah, considering how well you attacking me head on today, well I guess it's time to increase your training then."
"Huh?"
Valen projected his mana around his body.
"You are not allowed to use any mana to fight against me, okay?"
"That's unfair, Duke Romenza," he shouted.
"You should call me Valen, it'll be easier," he shouted before charging Mikail.
Mikail dodged his attack but soon he realized his body was running about of stamina.
"Damn this underdeveloped body," he thought before barely dodging the attack.
"You're 100 years to early if you think you can keep up with the might of my sword," he said with a smirk.
"Huh, if I could use mana you'd be dust, old man," he shouted.
"Oh really, use it for only ten seconds, that includes activation, kid. He you land a hit, we'll move on the the next part of training," he said.
Mikail smirked as he instantly had golden mana around him and charged at the man.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO CONTAIN THIS GOLDEN MANA, YOU FOOL," Mikail yelled with a smirk before grazing the shocked Valen with the wooden sword.
Valen's cheek bled and Mikail couldn't stop his momentum and hit the ground with his sword. The ground cracked at the sword came in contact. The was a huge creator beneath Mikail.
"What the hell is this kid," Valen thought.
Mikail got up after making his mana disappear. His red eyes looked towards Valen who couldn't believe what he had witnessed. Mikail looked at his hands.
"My mother definitely over-buffed my magic," he thought.
After about 3 hours passed...
Noril woke up and looked around. He saw Mel who was reading. A book next to his bed.
"Mel?"
"Ah, Duke Gruz your awake, you should go back to sleep, you were up all night. Duke Romenza forced you to sleep," he said.
"That bastard."
"It seems Duke Romenza really cares for you," Mel said while closing his book with a smile.
"More like he's a pervert after my body," he said as he thought about what happened before in his office.
"Eh?"
"Nothing, anyway, where did my son go?"
"He's training with the pervert, I mean, Duke Romenza at this current time," he said.
Suddenly the heard the sound of destruction from the training grounds.
"Hey, that couldn't be right," Mel asked.
"If it's Mikail it's highly possible," Noril said.
They looked at each other before running out of the door to the training hall. They saw a terrified Valen and a mana covered Mikail. The training hall was completely destroyed.
"What the hell happened," Noril thought.
"You said you would do what to my Dad, Duke Romenza," Mikail shouted before charging at Valen again.
"Mikail, did all this cause he was saying stuff about you, Duke Noril," Kastil said as he walked towards him.
Kastil saw Mel and Mel looked scared.
"Mel," Kastil shouted as he hugged him.
"Let go, you pervert," he shouted.
"No, I don't wanna," he said.
Mel electrocuted him we a light shock of electric magic. Kastil let go.
"Mel hates me so much," he thought.
"Mel, why do you hate me so much?"
"I don't hate you, you're just too perverted for my liking," he said.
"But, I just hugged you, it's not like I said I wanted to have sex with you or something?"
"That's what I mean, you're a pervert, Kastil," Mel said while pushing his glasses up.
"Yes I want to, but I don't say Everytime I see you," Kastil said.
"You're an idiot."
"You're the idiot, Mel," he shouted.
"Kastil is both a pervert and an idiot."
"Huh, I'll admit that I think you're pretty and cute, but how does that make me a pervert," he shouted back.
"Because it does you tall bastard," he shouted.
"I'm sorry you never grew pass your school height," Kastil shouted.
"Asshole."
"Pretty boy."
"Pervert bastard."
"Girly man."
Invisible lightning struck between them before Noril sighed. Noril looked their direction.
"Kill each other or fuck each other, god you both are annoying as hell," he said while holding his head.
"Wait, there's no way in hell I would have sex with this bastard," Mel shouted while pointing at Kastil.
Kastil felt pain in his heart.
"That was mean," he thought.
Noril couldn't hold back his laughter as he saw Kastil's expression.
"You're really cruel, Mel," Kastil shouted.
"Shut up you perverted youngster."
"You're not a that much older, idiot; you're just shorter than me,"Kastil shouted.
"Huh, shut up you ass hole, is my height the only thing you can make fun of," he shouted.
Noril sighed before glaring at them.
"Shut up," he said as he felt his head throb from their bickering.
"Yes," they said.
