Rise of the Malactric Heir

Adora closed her eyes and sighed as she sipped her coffee.

"Ah, this is nice and milky, strong as well, but not too strong, just right," she said.

"That's a lot of praise," Yan said.

"Oh? Well, I am in quite the mood this morning, let's start training, shall we Kyris?" she asked and he grinned.

"Sure, I don't mind starting now, just finish your coffee, you'll need the energy," he replied, to which she scoffed.

"We'll see about that sweetie, you might be one of the strongest among us, but you'll be the first to get tired..." she said as the star appeared in her hand, then vanished, and she sighed.

'I know it will be time soon,' Adora thought as she finished her coffee and grabbed an eclair from the plate on the table that the others were eating and ate it.

"Is this something you made, Nina?" Adora inquired, and the young lady smiled brightly.

"I learned that from you, but yes, I thought of making instead of buying; I didn't make much because I wanted to see how it tasted," Nina explained, and Adora smiled.

"Well, they're lovely," Adora commented, and Nina sighed in relief.

"That's good to know, thank you," she replied.

"No need to thank me, but you are welcome," she said as she closed her eyes and the dream flashed before them before she quickly reopened them.

'I'm curious what the hell that dream was about. 'I couldn't understand anything except that it was distressing,' Adora thought as she stood up and looked at Kyris.

"Well, Kyris, are you ready for your practice lesson now?" she asked as he approached her.

"Your highness, I was born ready," he replied.

"We'll see about that," she said as she walked out of the castle, and they followed her.

"There is plenty of space to train here," she said as they went beside the castle where the trees and the hills were along with the river and Alix scoffed.

"Are you planning on torturing Kyris?" Alix inquired.

"That's fine with me, let's get started," Kyris replied, and Alix and the others sighed as they sat on the rocks by the riverbank, and Kyris took a deep breath before looking at Adora, who stretched off.

"Are you certain you're prepared? I'm not going to attack you until you feel completely prepared, Kyris," she said to which he smiled.

"I'm ready," Kyris replied, and Adora smirked as her eyes glowed blue and a green hue surrounded Kyris's body.

"Here I come," she said as she rushed towards him, and just as she was about to hit him in the stomach, he blocked her with his palm, releasing enormous energy that shook the small stones on the ground, and Alix smiled.

"I can tell he's strong from the amount of energy he just released and his aura," Alix said.

"You've grown stronger," Adora said as she attempted to attack Kyris, but he blocked her again and she chuckled.

"He can keep up with her a little bit," Sarah said.

"Yeah, they used to train a lot together, but Adora is stronger now," Nina said as Adora smiled and spun around, then bent back and her feet glowed as she kicked Kyris by his side, sending him flying in the air and she jumped up as he regained his balance and kicked him back down, but he regained complete balance before crashing and landed on his feet.

"Oh, you have got nice balance, too," Adora said as she landed on her feet, and Kyris rushed towards her, his staff in hand and the tip of the staff glowed.

"Dodge or you might get hurt," Kyris said as he tried to attack her, but she dodged his attack, and then a small ball appeared at the top of his staff, and as it touched the ground, it exploded little by little, and the others left staring as Adora jumped over him and hit him directly in the back, sending him crashing into a tree that broke in half, and he got up then looked at it, and she smiled.

"You sure know how to keep up, Kyris," she said, grinning as his eyes glowed green and she looked at him carefully.

"Stop hesitating because it's me, I didn't say I could take you on for nothing, I know how strong you are," she said, and he sighed, then lifted his staff into the air and it vanished, leaving a red formation of four flowers in the sky looked up at them along with the others.

"Consider me an enemy, that's the only way you will be able to attack, now I will test both of your defense and offense," she said.

"Red bullets, slashing four," he said as the four formations opened up, shooting out red magic bullets that separated and followed their opponents before forming magical blades.

"That's a good attack," Alix said and Adora turned to face his attack.

"Red barrier," Adora said as a red barrier formed around her, shattering the blades, and Kyris smiled as he rushed to attack her, but just then a green formation appeared behind her, releasing the same green whips she used on Casian and one hit Kyris away, and her barrier vanished along with the formations in the sky.

Adora turned around to hit Kyris with her glowing fists when remembered her mother's scream and she gnashed her teeth as her body glowed red and Kyris flinched when he sensed anger coming from her as did the others.

"Isn't that a lot of energy for training?" Alix inquired, and Adora looked at Kyris then smiled and directed her blow towards the tree and as the attack released from her hand, it sent a few trees flying and the others left staring.

"It's a good thing you have got good control," Alix said and Adora sighed.

"Damn it, I got a bit angry, not at you though, Kyris, I just remembered something that I didn't expect to right now, I am sorry," she said and Kyris smiled as he approached her.
