Ken’s POV (12 yrs. and 8 months old)
Something’s amiss, why is it so quiet in the morning? Don’t tell me. ‘Wind Magic: Surveillance Sweep’, a calm wind swept across my room and unto our small house, hmm, someone set up a barrier on my parents room, and it feels to be a sound cancellation barrier?
Don’t ask me how, I just felt it with my magic. Great, someone’s here again. When will this ever end? I don’t know who they are, or where they come from but someone, should I even call them someone when they look to be many?
Who are these people? They even went as far as encircling our house, seriously? Nope wait, I know them, haven’t I given enough beating to their friends already?
‘Looks like they came for more.’ -White-
‘Seems so.’ Ugh, then I guess I’ll just take care of this then. I stepped out of my room still wearing thin clothes and casted a combined element and moon barrier on the house and the room of my parents, did they notice I casted a barrier? Hmmm, probably.
I went on to make breakfast, while cutting some meat I spoke. “Please come out whom-ever you are, I can sense you.” double thuds echoed from the floor, I turned around and was again met with the same clothing this person is wearing.
Third Person’s POV
Ken came face to face with people wearing that same clothing as before, black all over, even covering the face, almost reminiscing him of ninja’s, even having extra clothing wrapped around their necks.
“Who are you and what do you want?” he said, chopping some vegetables, Oh look at this round green thing, it’s like a lettuce.
“We want the artifact.” they said, whomever said it, Ken wouldn’t even be bothered to care.
“I’ve already told you I don’t have any artifact, why can’t you bonk heads understand that?” he finished chopping and began to cook the ingredients on a bowl by the fire, now to control the fire so the stew won’t burn later.
He look at the two intruders, alerting them both, they raised their weapons emitting killing intent, ‘I’m just a kid, who does that? Thankfully they are not doing this to my friends or we would really have problems.’
“Excuse me, you people have the audacity to barge into my home and dare to raise your weapons against me? Get out, now!” The two just laughed at the harmless ‘little’ boy, greatly offending Ken. A pout almost surfacing on his lips.
“What are you gonna do Kid?” said the one on the left.
“This, Arcane Magic: Telekinesis.” Purple energy latched unto their form choking them but not killing them as the magic circle formed at the tip of Ken’s right forefinger. He walked outside with the two following on mid-air.
“Here are your friends, take them and leave.” with a flick of a finger, the two bodies flung towards whom Ken assumes is the leader making the men in black collide one another with enough force that made them all stumble over.
*Fwish*
‘An arrow… seriously?! Do this people not have respect at all?!’ Ken stared hard. ‘Protection Magic: Mix Body Barrier’, an enhanced version of the spell ‘Mix Barriers’ covering his body in layers of barriers.
“You guys really want it that bad? Then come and take it.” Ken taunted and side stepped another arrow, stopped it with his magic and said…
”Enchant Magic: Multiple copies.” the arrow multiplied itself into thirty pieces with the same length and substances made out from the first arrow.
‘Enchant Magic: Haste.’ He flicked his wrist causing the arrow to fly itself towards the targets in twice the speed as earlier, hitting most of the group that surrounded his house, even hitting those that were at the back.
“Oh, those are normal arrows? Meh.” Ken shrugged as the group rose to their feet from being caught off guard by the speed the arrow flew.
“Fire Magic: Fire Blitz.” another area of effect spells on fire category, only this one allows him to use it more times than the pyrokinetic spell, the downside is that he’ll have to channel the spell.
‘They won’t be able to come near me.’ a smirk on his lips.
He made the space near each individual explode in a chain causing the group of men to cry out in pain, as quick successions of magic circles appeared and disappeared,
*chuckle*
He cancelled the spell and walked two steps and side-stepped another weapon flung at his direction, he took a glance and saw that it’s a dagger as it stuck on his doorframe.
“Good you lot are still alive, it would be a pity if you were decimated at once.” eyes scanning the area, seeing all of them rising to their feet, with a wave of his hand he dispersed the smoke and said…
“Wind Magic: Breathless Zone.”
‘I will not let them have the upper hand on me.’
The spell created cylinder zones on each enemies restricting their breathing -have a taste of torture-. All struggled to breath as they ran frantically everywhere.
‘Haha the magic circles following them are so funny to look at.’
“Talk or all of you will die.” he said as he stared at their quivering form. “In the past I’d had let you all go unscathed as I flung your men -or friends- far away so that I won’t have to hurt them, but now I’m thoroughly pissed off that a lot of you came just to try and steal one of my stuff? What is it even anyway?!”
The guy who he presume to be their leader reached out a hand in what seems to be a desperate move to be freed from the spell. ‘I’ll give them this chance, if they try anything stupid so tell me god -or any god who is out there- I will slit this person’s throat.’
With a snap of his fingers, the spell lifted.
“Now talk.” The leader rose to his feet and- (dash)
‘Ugh!’ Ken jumped back due to the force of the tackle and prepared his spells away from the leader.
“I thought you were going to talk?” he stopped in silence awaiting the other’s answer. ‘Damn big builds, you’ll see, I’ll get one myself one of these days.’
“We don’t reveal classified information.” the man said, that annoyed Ken.
“Then what about the chance I gave you lot to redeem yourself?” he said, feeling his face contorting.
“The moment you let down your guard to the enemy, costs you your life.” The other dashed towards Ken again brandishing his double daggers, too late.
“Ice and Water Grand Magic: Frozen World.” a magic circle formed below Ken as everything around him in a twenty meter radius turned frozen except for the house, while water submerged everyone and froze in an instant.
“I may not know what you people know but I know for sure that you’re a hard opponent to deal with so why don’t I freeze you first.” he walked around at the frozen figure of the leader, the only one out of all the assailants who he didn’t submerge in water and froze over. With the exception of the other’s head from freezing.
‘How about we have a good conversation.’
‘Unlikely’ interject White.
‘Meh…’
“You think you can contain me?!” the other said as he struggled to break free.
“Of course, why wouldn’t I be confident in doing so?” the man struggled more, but it was still futile, Ken sighed loudly at his effort, look at him, it was not going to work.
“Give up struggling and just submit.” he said to which the other growled angrily. ‘Why in the hell would this guy growl?’
“What did you do to me?!”
‘Ugh, will he ever stop shouting?’ in an attempt to cover his ears.
“Aside from me freezing your body and your mana, your other strengths are frozen too, hence why you can’t do anything asides talk, did that answer your question.” Ken smirked at the guy *yawn*, ‘man I’m still sleepy.’
*Grunt*
*Grunt*
*Grunt!*
Ken felt his forehead crease. “Will you stop? You’re just tiring yourself out.” The guy didn’t listen to and continued moving.
“If you tell me who sent you I will set you all free.” That got his attention. “Will you talk? He looked motionless but Ken knows the other’s shivering from the biting cold.
A minute passed by and he can see the shiver intensify, maybe this time he’ll talk.
