System's Existence

Chapter 8 - 5TH Year Ceremony

Time flew by 6 months has passed. In just six month Sirius did a lot of activities that is not to be expected for a kid like him. He started asking the butlers and knights in the mansion to teach him how to use swords, the knights was wondering why would he want to practice a swords when his family is full of magician.

Out of their expectation Sirius is trying to increase his mana capacity by learning swordmanship. He figure out that being a magician has a huge disadvantage, and that is they should not be fighting alone. If a magician is alone and his or her enemy get close to them then they are done for. But if he were to learn swordsmanship despite being a mage then that give him more advantage.

His strength is now is 5 which is the same for a normal 8 year old kid, aside from his strength his mana also increase which is now at 110 it's the same as his HP. Aside from his STR and Mana his other attributes also increase like AGI, STA, DEX , they are now 4. It is rather easy for him to increase his strength attribute but he can't easily raise his other attributes.

He keep doing what he did and raise his stats, in 3 months time Sirius manage to increase all of his attributes again by 1. This increase was not ordinary for a child even though they say that child grow up faster. But for Sirius it it easy to increase his stat, because it is one of his perks as a system. He just keep doing what he did and didn't notice that his 5th birthday is approaching.

Until his mother Emily reminded Sirius about it.

"Dear you are going to be 5 yeards old in the next 5 months, remember that you hav to attend the 5th year ceremony." Emily said with a proud smile on her face.

"Uhmm." Sirius just nodded to his mother with a bright smile on his face.

In Saint kingdom where majority of humans live, the 5th year birthday of a child is very important. Because aside from growing a year older the children will held a ceremony in the church to know what kind of element they have, before they can have their own party at their own mansion.

This ceremony is almost done for several hundred years already so they treat as tradition for them.

Aside from Sheperd House, that is Sirius family house one of the Dukes in the Saint Kingdom, there will be another families in different houses will attend like, WinderForg House, Servap House, Lyserus House, Roker House. All of them are Dukes in Saint Kingdom aside from them there are also Marquises and commonors that will attend.

All that will attend are the one the born in that month but different dates, the church will held up all of them at the same time to conserve time and to know which family has more talented offsprings. In short the ceremony is gatherings of noble to show off what they are proud offf.

It is a bad way to put it like that but that what Sirius thinks off about the 5th year ceremony. Sirius didn't put the 5th year ceremony in his concern, because he already know what kind of elements his talent have. All he need to do is to practice magic to increase his mastery in his elements.

In the meantime Sirius is now busy building up is physique, he knew that to incease his mana capacity he need to have good physique that is why he is working hard to train his body. He is swinging his sword in the garden when one man saw him while passing by. This man was his father Steven, Steven was surprised when he saw his son swinging his sword and he look serious.

Steven was wondering why would his son practice sword, he went to Sirius direction. Of course Sirius notice the presence of the man but he didn't know who it was until the said person was close. Surprising him, he saw his father approaching him, so he stop swinging his sword and look at his father with a smile.

"My kid why are you swinging a sword even though we are a magician family?" Steven asked.

"Dad, I just want to have my body become strong and not look like weak!" Sirius replied with a bright voice.

Sirius don't want other people to know that he knew a way to increase Mana, because he knew that no one in right mind will believe a 4 year old child like him. The others will just scoffed it off and laugh if they hear it, so Sirius will not waste his time telling it to another people.

However hi dad Steven was surprised by his son's answer, he didn't expect that his son so concern about appearing weak on others view. He just smiled and patted Sirius head.

"My son I'm sorry I'm not always in the mansion because I have some work to do at the castle. But I promise to you that I will attend your 5th year ceremony so please forgive your father for being not always at you side." Steven said apologetically.

"It's okay dad, mom is always with me teachng me a lot of stuffs!" However Sirius just push it aside and change the topis.

"Ohh, what kind of thing she is teaching to you?"

"Like you are awesome magician that can use two kind of elements!" Sirius exclaimed. "I hope I can be like you father!" He addad. Even though he already know that he can use all elements others still dont know, that is why he is pretending to be jealous at his father.

"Hahaha! Of course you can, you are after all my son!" Steven said while laughing.

That time Steven keep talking on how awesome he is when he was young to Sirius.
