The Useless 8th Prince

The Dawnbringer

One week after Ciel's return.

While the others are preoccupied with the harvest season, Ciel brings mother and son, Jenny and Theo to his private practice room. It was due to the movement of two envoys from East Duchy and West Duchy. They make a movement ‘search information’ massively.

Despite not daring to directly come to the Blackfield Region, Ciel still prepared a deterrence.

Looking towards the dazed Theo, Ciel let out a long sigh.

“I can't teach you Sen no Hana. Not because I don't want to, but the science itself I created to be matched to my condition. If used by others, too many conditions need to be met making it dangerous.

Not to mention, the technique was not perfect yet. There were four movements. Also ... You have no fire element, it will make it impossible.”

“...”

Theo could only bow without being able to deny all of Ciel's words. Although he wanted it, he also knew that not everything could be done by him. Maybe the boy was a little disappointed, but he could still accept that fact as well.

“Theo .. I may not be able to teach you the Sen no Hana technique because it is a combination of a lot of complicated and dangerous knowledge. But if you want to be able to combine magic and swordsmanship, I still have a way.”

Hearing Ciel's words, Theo's eyes became brighter. He looked at the master with a stern expression, filled with determination and desire.

“Please teach me, Master!”

“But if you want to learn this technique, I want you to promise. Do not use it unless you are in a desperate position.”

“Why???” Theo tilted his head, looking at Ciel with an innocent expression.

“Because this technique .. is only taught to descendants of the Dawnbringer Family.”

Seeing the increasingly confused Theo, Ciel smiled bitterly. He shook his head lightly, explaining back.

“This is a technique that combines sword techniques and destructive lightning magic. Dangerous technique, focus on incredible speed and destroyed power.

I actually also learned this technique, but ..”

I don't want to use it. It really drains a lot of energy. Not as complicated as Sen no Hana, but very tiring!

Ciel only said the last sentence in his heart. In front of Theo, he did not want to look to be a lazy figure. It would affect the young man for using himself as an example.

“I want to learn!” Theo replied with passion.

“Then you have to promise.”

“Ya, I promise!”

“T-Wait, Milord!”

Jenny who had been silent at last spoke. Unlike Theo who was still innocent and naive, the woman understood what Ciel meant. The technique that the young man wanted to teach was one that only the Imperial Family could learn. If caught, not only is Theo's life in danger.

Looking at the figure of Ciel who was so young, but looked calm and more mature. Plus because his body was well maintained due to the many nutrients provided by the Imperial Palace as well as being formed by the Devour skill, Ciel's figure looked more mature than teenagers of his age.

Jenny's heart was pounding, not expecting to feel that kind of vibe from the young man who was a dozen years younger with her. Jenny felt scared and happy because Ciel wanted to teach Theo such a technique. Meaning, Ciel really appreciates Theo while having a certain affection for him.

“It ... Is Theo worthy to practice such a technique, my lord? If it even gets you in trouble-”

“No.” Ciel shook his head lightly. “No problem. With the mutated Theo skill, despite not having the power of lightning as strong as Dawnbringer, I believe the destructive power of lightning is enough to learn the technique I mentioned. It's also a good thing to maximize the potential of Theo.”

“...”

Hearing the last sentence spoken from Ciel's lips, Jenny's body trembled slightly. If the woman was younger, she would have directly come forward and hugged the handsome young man. But as an adult, Jenny managed to hold back.

“Ya .. although you are better suited to that technique, I can also offer other techniques. How about stop being a knight and focus on magic?”

After saying that, Ciel raised his right hand. Accompanied by crackling sounds, lightning danced in the young man's hands. Not long after, the lightning fused together and transformed into three black-colored lightning snakes.

The three snakes leaped onto the floor, merged into one and transformed into a black lightning wolf. The little wolf ran around Ciel three times before turning into a little tiger.

The little tiger ran straight and jumped. When jumping, it again changed into a small eagle.the eagle swirled in the air before swooping towards Ciel. When he swooped, the little eagle turned into a small dragon whose entire body was made of black lightning. The dragon returned to Ciel's hands before finally disappearing.

“It was also one of the magic techniques that Dawnbringer could learn. It was just that, because the change technique was so complicated, not many could use it freely.

In delving into such a magic of change, most people would not have the time to learn anything else. I myself am more master of the special form. It was the Snake, Imoogi, Flood Dragon, Eastern Dragon, and Western Dragon.

To be honest, most people can only use one or two forms. After all, imitating a living creature will not be that easy.”

“...”

Theo looked at Ciel with eyes full of admiration and adoration. Seeing such incredible magic, as a child, he also wanted that kind of thing. But told to choose one to focus on, Theo pensively.

After a while, Theo finally opened his mouth.

“If that's in your opinion .. what should I choose, Mr?”

“Magic and sword combined technique.” Ciel answered firmly. “With the Berserk skill, plus when you get a blessing from the moonlight, it is very futile to just learn magic. Indeed, the technique looked simpler, but it remained ferocious and domineering. Although it is not as cool as the magic that forms ferocious creatures and attacks large areas, I believe ... you will be stronger if you choose the combined technique of magic and sword.”

“Then I will choose it, Mister!” Theo replied firmly.

The boy had 100% confidence in Ciel. If Ciel says good, that's good. If it is not suitable, it means it is not suitable. In his heart .. Theo thought what Ciel said was what he should do.

“Are you not going to regret the decision-”

Haven't finished his question yet, Ciel fell silent when he saw Theo's determined gaze. A gentle smile appeared on the young man's face. He then touched Theo's head then stroked it gently, making the boy close his eyes because of the sense of security and comfort that the hand gave him.

“I promise, you won't regret it.” Ciel said softly.

“I understand, Sir!”

Looking at the so obedient Theo, completely ready to be his right hand, following his entire command. Raising the corner of his lips, he finally said.

“Then, from now on ... you can be considered as half Dawnbringer.”
