THE HONORABLE DARK KNIGHT

[CHAPTER 3] CHAPTER 23 - LAND OF DARKNESS

" Well Lucas, for now I want you to train your physique first before pulling out the sword, you decide yourself to focus on training the physical or mana and magic only, you know, or focus on training both physical, mana and magic. "

" That decision is in your hands Lucas, and in order for you to be more excited, I will promise you one thing, if your brother Anastasia gives you her sword to increase your motivation, I will also give you a gift, even if you manage to pull out the sword. " Said Arthur firmly.

" Is that really Arthur!?, what kind of gift does Arthur want to give me?. " Task Lucas.

" I will not give you a physical object that will only be useful for a while, if you succeed in pulling out the sword I will reward you by teaching you a great magic, magic that is able to deflect your opponent's magic, this is not an ordinary magic, because the stronger you are and the more powerful you are in controlling mana and magic, the more powerful you are, so with this magic you are able to deflect a very strong magic attack that your opponent sends towards you, for example like the magic *Hellfire* even though you can throw. " Any answered Arthur seriously.

After hearing what Arthur said, Lucas' eyes instantly became sparkling and full of vigor, "Waaah I can't imagine it if I was taught such powerful magic as Arthur's brother taught me, Alright sis I understand I will try my hardest until I can pull out that sword!. " Said Lucas.

Arthur grinned and said, "Las, you may be excited like that, but to use magic requires a fairly complicated condition and it will take time if you are not talented. " Answer Arthur.

" What!!, what are the conditions for using magic, brother Arthur?. " Task Lucas with great surprise.

" The condition is that you have to have good control of mana and must have a sizable supply of mana, because if you continue to activate that magic, that magic will drain a lot of your mana, which is yours, because it would be very dangerous if in an emergency you run out of your mana in the middle of a fight. " Answer Arthur.

" Bang Arthur!, take it easy I promise not to train half-heartedly, but I promise to train seriously and with all my heart in order to use that magic. " Say Lucas firmly.

" Alright I feel that you are indeed serious, so now we will start the training do not continue to waste time, he said, because if it's time for Anastasia and I to enter the Phillburgh Magic Academy you have to train alone we'll just monitor where you've progressed when you get home from the Academy, do you understand Lucas?. " Said Arthur.

" Yes!!, I understand brother Arthur. " Reply replied Lucas.

" All you have to do is you have to climb and descend the mountain there as much as possible, if you feel you are not strong back here and you have to lift a stone that is twice the size of your body, put the stone on your body and all you have to do is to squat and stand as much as possible with the stone on your body. " Seriously, Arthur said.

" Okay, brother Arthur, but where will you get the stone?. " Task Lucas.

Arthur opened his arms and straightened his right hand, after which he cast a magic, "Space and time magic, *Spatium Memoriae. "

After casting a magic index finger Arthur's right hand whirled the air before him and appeared like a portal, from the portal a sizable stone slowly fell towards the ground.

After the stone fell to the ground the portal instantly closed and disappeared.

Instantly after Arthur unleashed his magic he began to lose balance in his body, because the mana in his body was still not fully recovered.

Anastasia who was beside Arthur quickly caught Arthur's body before falling to the ground, "Arthur!, are you okay?!, you have to rest for now, I'll be watching and training Lucas myself. " Take Anastasia in a panic.

" Eughh, no, it's all right Anastasia, I'm just a little limp you don't have to worry until you're as quick as you can. " Answer Arthur.

" Kak Arthur!, it is true that Anastasia's sister should rest so that when entering the Academy you will not experience something like this again. " Said Lucas.

Arthur resurrected his body and said to Lucas, "Las did not know now what I was directing, I'll wait here, if you continue to stay here and still worry about me I will cancel the promise I gave you!. " Any answered Arthur seriously.

Lucas ran straight to the mountain.

Arthur and Anastasia wait for Lucas to return to Louise's residence,

After a long wait, Lucas finally returned from the mountain, and Arthur told him something, "Las for today is quite here, just here, for tomorrow and beyond you must do the same thing as you did just now and also do not forget to do what I directed you, for now we just rest first. " Said Arthur.

" So, brother Arthur, well then I go in first, brother. " Answer Lucas.

" Yes all right. " Said Arthur.

" Arthur, aren't you coming inside?, you should be the one who has had a lot of rest from before you force yourself on. " Say Anastasia.

" You go in first too, there's something I have to do tonight. " Answer Arthur.

" What do you do at night like this, Arthur?!. " Tanya Anastasia.

" You don't need to know. " Say Anastasia.

" Alright, I'm sorry Arthur I always forced you, then I'll also go in first Arthur. " Say Anastasia.

" Yes... Please ". Answer Arthur.

After Lucas and Anastasia enter Louise's residence, Arthur leaves the place and walks with no clear direction and purpose. After that while on the road there is a place where people there are fighting each other.

Arthur sees someone who looks very familiar in his memory, then Arthur changes the color of his hair to dark blue from the previous black, and changes his clothes to black using a red coat, Arthur did all that because he thought it would be troublesome if someone saw him doing suspicious things at night. Arthur thinks that the woman is a woman said by the previous Land Of Darkness member *Black Roses * the woman who leads the organization. Arthur thought that way because the woman looked different, the woman looked very strong and she felt a surge of mana and the strong aura of the woman in comparison, unlike the other women who were nearby.

The moment the organization finished slaughtering those who looked like black merchants they finally turned to Arthur and looked him in the eye.

Then Arthur asked them, "Who are you. " Ask Arthur.

" We are defenders of truth in darkness, * LAND OF DARKNESS* and I am the Black Roses leader of this organization." Speak to the leader of the organization.

Arthur fell silent and did not respond to any response from the leader of the organization.

Then Black Roses the leader of the organization smiled and muttered, "I'm so surprised how could I finally meet you again?. "

Then not long after that they left immediately, and Arthur just saw them go in front of him.
