Rise of the Malactric Heir

After a few minutes of waiting, they brought their dinner to them as well as drinks and other things that they made.

They all smiled when they sniffed in the aroma of the food and they began eating since they were hungry and the food didn\'t disappoint.

Everyone enjoyed the food that was made for them and thanked the ones that made it.

While Adora was eating her food, she glanced at Alix and then exhaled deeply since she knew that things were about to change but wondered by how much.

Alix glanced at Adora and when he noticed she was staring at him, he smiled and she flinched before lowering her head and his brows furrowed.

\'Hey, hey, what the hell is going on here? She is acting weird,\' he thought before sighing then he continued eating his food.

"Adora, how is your friend doing?" Kyris asked and she looked at him while clenching her right fist.

"I don\'t know, if things are worse, I will go get him myself," she said and they looked at each other.

"That\'s not a good idea," Ifrit added and she glanced at him.

"I know, well, let\'s see what happens," she said and Ifrit nodded, then she drank a glass of juice and exhaled deeply.

A little while after, when Adora finished eating, she got up, then looked outside. Nova approached her and she looked at him and he grinned before showing her a sword and she looked at it.

Inalia and the others looked at them and the girl sighed before approaching Nova and placing her hand on his shoulder and he glanced at her.

"Are you crazy?" she asked and he scoffed.

"I am not crazy, will you spar with me, your highness?" he asked and Adora sighed before taking the sword from his hand and walking away and he peeked at her.

"Come on," she said and he grinned before running after her and they exited the house and the others sat down in the front porch to watch them.

"Is this a good idea?" Inalia asked.

"I don\'t think it is," Zack responded and the girl exhaled deeply.

"I wonder how much better she has gotten in sword fighting?" Alix asked.

"Alix, I am currently wondering the same thing, she has been training so much that I have lost track of it," Ifrit added and Alix chuckled.

Both of them took their stance and Adora smiled at Nova and he looked at her.

"Don\'t look at me like that, it\'s making me nervous," he said and she chuckled.

"Relax, a bit, I won\'t be able to spar with you if you are that nervous," she replied and he exhaled deeply then smiled at her and her eyes glowed slightly blue.

"Defend like your life depends on it, Nova, it\'s the only way you will get way better," she said as he rushed towards her and she looked at how fast he was moving around her.

"He is fast," Sarah said and Alix smiled before nodding.

Adora closed her eyes and firmly planted her feet on the ground and Alix and Sarh looked at her carefully.

"You have gotten better at fighting, looks like you have been training a lot, but you are still wide open," she said.

He was about to attack her from behind, but she spun around and his eyes widened as her blade clashed with his, he pulled back then she smiled.

"You saw through me?" he asked.

"Keep on coming, I will give you your answers when we are finished," she responded as a blue hue surrounded his blade and she smiled when she saw the determination in his eyes.

"That boy is not only brave, he is quite determined, that will help him," Alix said and Inalia glanced at him and then at Nova.

"Won\'t she, defeating him break his spirit?" she mumbled.

"She won\'t do that, relax," Alix responded and Inalia sighed.

Nova looked at Adora\'s stance and a gentle smile appeared on his face, then he lifted his sword up.

"If you are ready, then make a move, Nova," she said as she began spinning her blade around and Sarah\'s eyes narrowed since she couldn\'t see the handle of Adora\'s sword anymore.

Nova rushed towards Adora and she smiled as he was about to attack her and she blocked his attack with her sword except it was in her next hand and his brows furrowed when he saw that.

The two kept moving around while sparring and she rushed towards Nova and his eyes widened when she was about to attack him but managed to move his sword and block her attack and she smiled at him.

"That\'s good swordsmanship," Alix said and Adora stepped back from Nova and he exhaled deeply.

Nova rushed toward Adora and she dodged his attack and before he could move again, she swung the sword around and pointed the handle at his chest and he came to a halt.

Nova looked at her while panting "You win." he said and she smiled.

"You are amazing," he said.

"Those were Alix\'s moves as well, not mine alone, you have gotten a lot better, my swordsmanship is good, but was not like this before, you just have to keep practicing and you will get it, don\'t give up, got it?" she asked and his eyes widened then he smiled.

"Got it," he responded with a smile and Inalia sighed in relief.

"Your moves?" Ifrit asked.

"We practice a lot together guys, our moves are mixed, it\'s not a big deal," Alix responded as he glanced at Adora then she smiled at him and he approached her then took passed her hand through her hair and she smiled as he went to Nova.

Nova looked at Alix who smiled at him, then Nova swallowed deeply as he felt the pressure coming from Alix\'s body when he approached him and Adora glanced at them.

"Alix," Adora said.

"I know," he replied.

"Nova, want me to help you while I am here?" Alix asked and Nova left staring at him.

"Are you sure?" Nova asked.

"Yeah," Alix responded.

"Yes, thank you," the boy said in a cheerful tone and Alix grinned.

Adora sighed in relief before stretching off, while remembering when she and Alix were training together once and he had defeated her during the sword fight and that\'s when they decided to mix their moves and kept on practicing together.
