A young man with lion ears and a long hair bowed slightly to Aiwai. He wasn't strong compared to her and the city chief, merely at the 6-star Veteran Rank, the Rank 5. However, his status as someone in the royal family was enough to be in a higher position than everyone else.
"Nice to meet you, prince Sebe. They are my little brother Yale and my little sister Wyba. Will prince Sebe also participate in the training camp?"
Aiwai was polite towards the Sebe, offending someone of the royal family was something she didn't want to do.
"Of course not. I am already seventeen; even if I am the youngest prince, there is no way I participate in a training camp for kids. I heard that all the geniuses in the area would gather here, so I wanted to see them with my own eyes. I was just bored; you don't need to bother too much about my presence."
Sebe wasn't someone who liked to abuse of his status, as long others didn't offend him, he wouldn't try to look for problems either.
Aiwai and Yale sighed in relief; they knew that it was better to avoid battling with someone of the royal family even for a training. Furthermore, being at the Rank 5 at such a young age demonstrate the power of his bloodline, a grandson of the founder of the Anpaes Kingdom.
Although Sebe's bloodline was weaker than his grandfather's bloodline, his bloodline was comparable to his father's bloodline and even among his brothers and sisters he had one of the best bloodlines.
"Nice to meet you. I am Yale."
Yale just bowed slightly while saying that, he showed respect for the prince, but he didn't look at him with admiration like most kids did.
Wyba, just imitated her brother, she didn't understand very well the situation, so she limited to do the same as his brother.
Sebe noted that Yale and Wyba were just polite, but they didn't feel any admiration towards him. However, he wasn't offended by it. Instead, he was pleased; he was tired of everyone looking at him with such admiration just because of his ancestry.
It wasn't that he didn't like to be admired, but he wanted to be recognized by his own merits. However, even when people praised his training speed, the reason was always attributed to his bloodline, no one had never praised his hard work.
Sebe's bloodline was awesome, but he was also someone who liked to train and put all his efforts in turning stronger, the fact people admired him attributing all his efforts to the bloodline hurt him a lot.
He would rather like people just not admiring him than admiring him for his bloodline.
"How old are you two?"
Sebe felt that Yale and Wyba were quite powerful for their young looks.
"Both of them just turned five years old two weeks ago; they are twins."
Aiwai replied instead of them; she feared that Yale would try to say that he was older than his true age and offend Sebe. Sebe wouldn't be offended by such thing, but the fear against the royal family put Aiwai in an extremely cautious mode.
"Oh, just five and that strong? They sure have an awesome bloodline, but looking at their sister, it isn't surprising."
The city chief laughed saying those words while he attributed all the effort Yale and Wyba put to training to their bloodlines. That was the most usual way of thought in the Anpaes Kingdom.
"This isn't due to only our bloodline. We also trained hard."
Yale said that without thinking it two times, he and Wyba had trained a lot to reach their levels, although they had some help, they had put all their effort into training.
"Yeah, trained hard, sure. You kids think that you are training hard, but you are just relying on your bloodlines, training hard is only a fantasy for us. For half-beast like us, bloodlines are the only thing which mattered. Look at Prince Sebe, he has the best bloodline and thus is the strongest of his generation. Bloodlines, all is due to bloodlines; we have to live according to that, trying to train hard is useless. If you want to train, just practice your skills or some weapon."
In most people eyes, training to increase the practice level was useless; it was better to just focus on training other things. Yale was about to reply to the city elder when Sebe interrupted.
"You are wrong."
The city chief was shocked; he never expected that someone with an exalted bloodline like Sebe would be against his words.
"What is wrong, prince?"
Sebe was in a bad mood after hearing the city chief's words while at the same time, he felt empathy for Yale, Sebe knew very well how it feels having your own hard-work denied by others and attributed everything to the bloodline.
"I won't enter into a discussion about how training works on us with you because you are a narrow-minded old man without future. However, even for someone like you, understanding that training had effects of Yale and Wyba should be easy. Both are twins and have the exactly same bloodline, right?"
Aiwai nodded, she didn't know why the prince was helping Yale, but she wouldn't refuse the help as the prince had a status higher than the city chief and having a good relationship with him was better than a bad one.
"Same bloodline, same age and different level of power. Why? Because of training. Training has obvious effects on them, that is undeniable. Do you understand it now?"
