Chapter 6: Six Months Later.
After some battle with the food, Aaron was taken to his room by Aurora and placed on the bed.
"Stay here Aaron, The griffins are coming, those Bastards always attack when the sun is out. You'll be safe here." She smiled at him, then walked out of the room.
'Griffins? Always attack when the sun is out? I need to know more about all the Monsters in this forest.' Aaron looked at the door.
{All Seeing Eyes.}
{Name: wooden Door. Class: Common. Info: a portal of entry into a building.}
'I need to find a way to use this eyes, I don't want to be seeing insufficient things. The only thing I have discovered so far is that it takes 3 seconds before I can see the detail of the object. I need to work harder, My Mom is out there protecting me. How to grow faster to protect her?!'
BOOM!
BAM!
"They are two more Mom! Ignis in virtute vocantem!"
[Calling the power of Fire.]
'That is Lilly's voice, it sounds like a battle is going on outside. I feel so useless! I can't do anything, just sit here and listen!!'
BOOM!.....
Aaron waited for some minutes, but heard nothing. 'It seems the battle is over.'
The Door opened, and Lilly walked inside, with blood in her hands. Aaron stared at the five Cores in her hands.
'Why is she keeping it in my room?' He thought staring at Lilly, as she placed the Cores in a 1-meter-long wooded chest.
"Baby brother, any core I place here is yours. When you grow up, you can absorb it." She said with a smile, closing the chest.
Lilly walked towards him and sat on the small bed. "Don't worry, The Griffins have all be taken care of. We are lucky, they're all Awakened-stage. So I assisted Mom."
Aaron stared at her for a moment, then turned his head to the chest. 'Any core inside is mine? That's good. I'll be able to Absorb it when I start moving.'
"Do you want me to bring one?" Lilly asked.
He nodded his head.
Lilly stood up, and quickly walked up to the chest, after some searching, she brought out two Awakened-stage Cores.
"These two will surface for now." She walked up to Aaron and placed the Cores in front of him.
Aaron stared at the blood on her hands with a slight frown, Lilly followed his gaze; seeing her hands, she gasped in shock.
"Sorry Baby Brother, I'll be back." She rushed out.
Aaron then stared at the two Cores in front of him.
{All seeing Eyes.}
{Name: Awakened-stage Griffin's Core. Class: Rare. Info: Increase +20 of all beginner's stats.}
'So I won't be able to realm up, but my stats will increase. That's still accepted.' He tried, and sat on the bed, he then placed his hands on each Core.
{All seeing eyes.}
{Absorb? YES/NO?}
He nodded, the next Moment. The Cores shattered into particles, which then flew into his body.
{All stats increase to +40.}
He thought for a moment, then looked at his hand.
{Name: Aaron Lucian.}
{Realm: Not-Even-A-Beginner.}
{Class:None.}
{Race: Half Elf.}
{Strength: 50.}
{Agility: 45.}
{Defense: 47.}
{Endurance: 50.}
{Affinity Mastered: None.}
{Attack: 2. Critical - 4.}
{Health point: 30.}
{Intellect/ Wisdom: 30.}
{Improvement: You have a lot to Improve in. You are getting somewhere.}
{Resistance: Poison: 0%. Darkness: 0%. Death: 0%. Light: 0%. Fire: 0%. Water: 0%. Earth: 0%. Wind: 0%. Magic: 0%. Ice: 0%. Lightening: 0%.}
'Even with the +40 increase, I felt nothing change in me. It's because of my physique?'
"I'm back." Lilly walked inside. "Huh?" She was stunned.
"Where are the Cores?" She asked walking towards him.
Aaron just stared at her with a dumb look, feigning ignorant.
"Did you..." She folded her hands on her chest, staring at him. "Why didn't you wait for me before Absorbing it?" She asked.
Aaron looked towards the chest again. Lilly's eyes brighten, she quickly walked towards it and brought out the remaining Three Awakened-stage Cores.
"Come on baby brother, absorb it." She placed it on the bed.
Aaron looked at the Cores.
{All Seeing Eyes.}
{You won't be able to Absorb it, You have to wait for at least 2 hours before Absorbing it.}
'Huh? This is surprising. I think it's because I'm still a baby.'
"Come on baby brother." Lilly encouraged.
'Sorry sis, I can't for now.' Aaron fell backward on the bed closing his eyes. 'I need to sleep for now, let the powers in my subside. Even though it's not even 1% of what I dreamed of.'
"Uh? What are you doing Baby brother? Don't you want it?" Lilly stared at Aaron as he closed his eyes, going to sleep.
"Eh?" She was stunned. Lilly shook her head and covered him with a blanket. "Sleep tight brother." She walked out of the room, quietly closing the door behind her.
Aaron opened one of his eyes, he looked at the door for a moment then tried to sit again. He succeeded and sighed inwardly. 'Being a baby is really hard, I can't even sit down without going to war!'
'Now, The All Seeing Eyes. Time to master you, and rule this forest.'

[Elven Kingdom.]
[Throne hall.]
The Elves' king sat on his throne, staring at the group of people who walked in through the huge double door.
The three bowed their heads to the king and the grand priest.
"What happen?" The king asked in a deep voice.
"She ran into the Flesh Eaters' forest, My king." Mariel answered.
"I already know that Mariel, I'm asking if she killed any of my soldiers."
"No my king." The commander said, and added. "Permission to speak my king."
"Go on, Commander Visco."
"Thank you, My king. I want to know why you asked us to return."
The King was silent for some seconds then said. "I don't want my Soldiers to perish in that forest, And the grand priest have news for everyone."
The door opened again, and two people walked in. A man and woman.
"My king." The two greeted respectfully.
"Welcome my Commanders, I called you all from your posts for a very important information." He gestured for the grand priest to start.
The five turned their heads to the grand priest, who stepped forward.
"You all already figured out the Cursed Child is born."
The commanders nodded.
"I want to let you all know that the Council have made their decision. The Academy for training young warriors will be active in one year time, all the five races are allowed to attend. As long, they have unlocked their Class."
"A question grand priest." The woman in a long black robe announced.
"Go on."
"Why's the council opening the school in a year time? Shouldn't they open it right now? Or in a month time? Why a year?."
"That's a good question, As you all know. This school will be open for all the races. And some measures need to be taken care of, so when the Students attend they won't be discrimination among themselves."
The commanders nodded in understanding.
"I'm telling you five this because you all will be the teachers of the students."
"Huh?"
"What?"
"But the Soldiers?"
"Why my king."
"...."
Out of all of them only Mariel was speechless. 'I'm going to be a teacher?'
"You all can't refuse, This is what you'll have to do for your world, the commanders of the other races are also going to be teachers in the academy, You'll help the Students in any way you can. Turn them into warriors, so they could help us in the coming battle!!" The priest yelled at them.
The five raised their heads to the king, waiting for his word.
"I know you guys only know about killing, fighting and protecting the kingdom. But for now... That isn't our main priority, We need to train more fighters. Powerful and fearless ones, that's why the Council said the Students should be from age 10 to 16."
The commanders looked at each other, even though they don't like the idea of teaching. They have to do it for their world.
"When do we start?" Visco asked.
"Next year." The king stated, while they all nodded in understanding.

[6 Months Later.]
[Flesh Eaters' Forest.]
In a blink of an eye, six months have past. Aaron and his family have been living in the forest all these while. The forest wasn't the safest place to live because of the endless amount of Monsters. Sometimes when a monster more powerful than Aurora appears they'll all hid inside the house till it past.
It has been a life of survival to each one of them, even with all these dangers. The family of three benefited from it, greatly. Especially Aaron. After seeing her brother absorb the ogre's Omega-stage Core, Lilly always bring a Core to him. Even though with this help, Aaron didn't dull himself for even a second.
On the third month he started walking and talking, looking like a three years old kid, when he was just 3 months old.
After some convincing from him and his sister, he finally started his combat training with his Mom.
In the fourth Month, Aaron discovered something new about The All Seeing Eyes. This discovery made him the most feared hunter in the forest. When he's still 6 Months old.
"Aaron! Where are you?!" A young girl was moving around the forest yelling her baby brother's name, a sheathed sword was placed on her back, as she moves ahead.
"Why are you shouting my name?"
She raised her head to the silver hair young man standing 1 meter tall, putting on a long black cloak, with a sheathed sword and quiver filled with arrows on his back, and a wooden bow in hand.
Aaron stood calmly on a tree branch, staring at Lilly below, she was also putting on a black cloak.
"How did you get up there?" Lilly asked in mild confusion.
"We're here to hunt, Not talk." Aaron said, he leaped from the branch, using the three trunk to slide down.
"I found our dinner." He said, the moment his feet touched the ground.
