Between The Strongest and The Weakest Family
Chapter 40: Watch and Learn

Before heading to Drengr Forest.....

The Itzbal family is happy to celebrate the birthday of their fourth son, Reinherz Itzbal, this year 7-year-old Reinherz, the Itzbal family celebrated with a simple atmosphere, it is a very simple, only members of the Itzbal family were present but from their aura and face, the small family was very happy, their smiles exuded a happy aura, they were joking, laughing, laughing, and care for each other.

But this is only the beginning, when the children of the Itzbal family reach the age of seven, they will see and think how they can surpass the monsters that are unmatched for them.

When the celebration was over, the atmosphere in the once crowded room was now a little more peaceful, and it was time for Baron Raven to speak.

“Rein..” says Baron Raven.

“what's dad?” ask Reinherz.

“we have a gift for you” say Baron Raven.

Baron Raven then took out a cloth from under his table, the cloth folded neatly in the shape of a box, and Baron Raven placed the cloth on his two palms while handing it to Reinherz, who was not at all, Reinherz accepted it.

“Thanks everyone” says Reinherz.

“Open..., this is a gift for you if you need it” say Baron Raven.

Reinherz then unfolded the cloth fold by fold, after everything was open, Reinherz saw a pretty dagger with silver and blue, the handle of the dagger was very sturdy with black, black, and around it was Rune writing, this dagger was the Dagger of Moonlight Stone.

Reinherz then twirled his Dagger of Moonlight Stone, and he saw a reflection of his face on his dagger.

“wwwoooaaaahhhh...” amaze Reinherz.

“this dagger is Dagger of Moonlight Stone, this is the gift you get when you are 7 years old” say Baron Raven.

“Thank you....!!, thanks everyone” said Reinherz.

“ahahahah... Both Rein” say Baron Raven with a smile.

Before long they chatted, a butler went into the dining room, then the butler approached Baron Raven and whispered the words, after whispering the butler's words away.

Then Baron Raven stood up from his chair.

“Everything now is time” says Baron Raven.

“eeerrrmmmm...., I've been waiting for a long time, finally the time has come” said Lady Lizbeth while stretching her body.

Reinherz was big on what happened, but his brothers did not show any expression of confusion.

“bring your sister first, dad and mom will catch up” say Baron Raven,

“Alright.” say Reed, Avianna and Chealsea.

Reed, Avianna, Chealsea and Reinherz went out of the dining room first, they would wait for their parents outside the mansion, they walked out, the confused Reinherz began to ask his brother.

“Kakak Reed..., does sister not feel anything strange?” ask Reinherz.

“hhhmmm..., why Reinherz?” ask Reed back.

“huh..?!, don't you guys feel weird, today is my birthday why dad suddenly told us to come out” said Reinherz.

“heheheh..., you will know Reinherz yourself, you could say this is the Itzbal” family tradition says Chealsea.

“ya...., you could say today is the beginning of your journey said Avianna.

Reinherz who heard the words of his brothers was still confused, he could not absorb the meaning of the words of his brothers.

“*hhaaa..* yes please...” says the resigned Reinherz.

Reinherz resigned himself to what would happen, as long as nothing annoying happened when he had his birthday.

Crreeaaackk...

Reed opened the front door of the Mansion, when outside the mansion, Reinherz saw that there were people who were strangers to him but there were not many of them, among them there was a figure who was familiar to Reinherz, they are Orlom, Ragnar and Zerith.

The three of them stood in front of the mansion in Night Hawk's uniform, then they gave their greetings to Reed, Avianna, Chealsea, and Reinherz.

“Goodnight Mr. Reed and Reinherz, Lady Avianna and Chealsea” say the three of them while humbling themselves.

Reed then approached the three of them.

“what's all clear?” say Reed.

“Ya... as usual everything has settled” said Ragnar

“Reed where Lord Raven and Lady Lizbeth” asked Orlom.

“mom and dad are getting ready” says Reed.

“ahahaha...., as usual today they will take out everything” said Ragnar.

“*hhaaa..* that's it..\, but hopefully they can hold back” says Reed.

As Reed chatted with Ragnar and Orlom, Reed felt that one person was missing.

“Huh..!?, where did Zerith” say Reed.

Ragnar then pointed his finger behind Reed, Reed then looked back, when looking back, Reed noticed a small commotion, between his sister and Zerith.

“*haa...* as usual..” says Reed while shaking his head.

Behind Reed, Zerith hugged Reinherz while wishing him a happy birthday, and Avianna and Chealsea did not accept him, and Reinherz was left with a commotion as well.

“ Happy birthday Mr. Reinherz..♥” says Reinherz while hugging Reinherz.

Chealsea and Avianna who saw Reinherz being hugged, made them envious because they had not hugged his sister for one day.

“Zeriths.. Stop..., release my sister” says Avianna.

“Ya..., Reinherz is ours..” Say Chealsea.

“heheheh...., Seize if you can” tease Zerith.

Then there was a commotion to fight for Reinherz, Reed and the others saw that they could only shake their heads, while Reinherz just resignedly embraced Zerith and became like a toy doll contested by Zerith, Chealsea, and Avianna.

The atmosphere outside the mansion became a little crowded because the women were fighting, before long the door of the mansion house opened again.

Ccrreeaaack....

Baaammm....

Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth came out of the mansion, they were dressed as minimalists as if to practice, and they both carried their weapons, Baron Raven carried two daggers that were carried around his waist, Lady Lizbeth brings her samurai flagship, the Black Dragon.

When they saw their boss and parents ready, the situation calmed down again, and Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth were ready to depart.

“Come let's go” say Baron Raven.

“Good..” says everything simultaneously.

Then Baron Raven whistled to give a sign that he was ready, then before long some of the Night Hawk members brought horses for them to ride, each of them riding their own horses, respectively, reinherz and Lady Lizbeth.

The seven of them rode the horse quickly, but they had no worries at all with the monsters that had sprung up, as the Night Hawk members had been guarding the route their master would pass.

Reinherz was curious about where they were going, Reinherz could not see clearly around him because it was a bit dark, Reinherz asked his mother.

“mom where we go” asked Reinherz.

“We will go somewhere very dangerous, and also tenpat for you to see and learn” said Lady Lizbeth

“Huh.?!” say Reinherz with an astonished expression.

Reinherz did not ask any more, as his mother gave him little information, and it seemed Lady Lizbeth wanted to surprise Reinherz, who imagined that she might be given another surprise, Reinherz became full of curiosity and joy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few minutes later they reached Drengr Forest.......

Reinherz and the others reached the forest, they saw some Night Hawk members who had been waiting, Reinherz and others came down from the horses, then they put their horses into the Night Hawk members.

Then without further ado Reinherz and the others went into the forest, Baron Raven the road ahead and the others followed, while Reinherz was still beside Lady Lizbeth.

The road they walked was safe because the Night Hawk members were guarding in the darkness of the forest they passed, Reinherz was curious why they went to the forest.

“Where are we going?” say Reinherz.

“You will know for yourself later” said Lady Lizbeth while walking.

“*haaa...*” Reinherz sighed in disappointment.

Walking unceasingly in the dark forest around them, only the full moon illuminated their vision, Reinherz saw his older brother and parents walking worrylessly in his very dark hour, reinherz was a little scared because it was the first time Reinherz had walked into the forest in the middle of the night.

A few moments later they reached their destination, in the middle of a thick forest, there was a very wide field, the field was round, and in the field looks like the scars of a fight.

“finally until” says Baron Raven.

Baron Raven continued to walk into the middle of the field, while his brothers, Zerith, Orlom, and Ragnar stopped behind, Lady Lizbeth and Reinherz stopped near his brother.

“You guys.., take care of your sister” says Lady Lizbeth.

“Good mom..” say Reed, Avianna and Chealsea.

Lady Lizbeth walks into the middle of the field to Baron Raven, while Reed takes Reinherz with them.

Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth were facing each other, Baron Raven was on the left, and Lady Lizbeth was on the right, they both showed their serious faces.

Reinherz who saw them facing each other was astonished, Reinherz thinking what his mother and father were doing.

“are you ready” say Baron Raven to Lady Lizbeth.

“Ya..., today I was very ready once” said Lady Lizbeth.

“ahahaha....., it's not been a long time since we've been facing each other.” said Baron Raven with a small laugh.

“ahahaha...., do you know?, I am looking forward to today” said Lady Lizbeth

“*haa..* alright” says Baron Raven.

Baron Raven raised his hand up while opening his palm, then Baron Raven used his skill.

“[Blood Field]”

Wwwhhhhhooooss.........

Hhhhooossshhhhh........

Then came the blood-shaped fluid that surrounded them, the fluid formed a Barier in the form of a peak arch, the Barier surrounded a very wide field, Reinherz and the others entered Barier belonging to Baron Raven.

“REINHERZ!!” shouted Baron Raven.

Reinherz was shocked that his father shouted loudly just to call out to him, but Reinherz then focused equally on his father.

“Your father and mother will show you how dangerous and cruel the outside world is, if you are weak you will die, and if you win you will survive, now take a look and learn how your father and mother fought, all this just for you to be able to survive in the extremely cruel and dangerous outside world”.

Reinherz could only be speechless at his father's words, and did not expect his father to say so.

“Rein look father and mother fight, you will see with your own eyes, when monster fight monster” says Reed.

“Huh?!” reinherz answered with a bigung.

Reinherz was speechless, for he had only seen and felt this kind of situation, where his father and mother would fight.

“Zerith do your duty” say Lady Lizbeth.

“Good.. My Lady” said Zerith politely.

Zerith then took out his Mana Aura and took out Zerith's Barier Skill.

“Protect us Arifar, [Aerial Shield]” say Zerith.

Wwwhhhhoooossshhh.....

Appearing a green-colored wind element Shield surrounding Reinherz and the others, Zerith's [Aerial Shield] Shield was coated by Zerith's goddess Artifact, which made her Shield skill extremely powerful.

“Good preparations are done” say Lady Lizbeth.

After Zerith had made the Shield, Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth began to warm up a bit by stretching their bodies, after warming up with their own bodies, and then doing so, Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth are in a ready position to fight.

Baron Raven took out her dual daggers from her waist, while Lady Lizbeth took out her samurai from her scabbard, they were in the position of their horses.

Then Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth took out their Aura of Mana.

Sjssrraaahhh....

Wwwhhhhoooss......

Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth unmitigatedly let out an extremely powerful Mana Aura, if the weak felt their Mana Aura, they would instantly be frightened and helpless.

Baron Raven had a blood-red Mana Aura, while Lady Lizbeth let out a pitch-black Mana Aura.

Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth were still staring at each other without moving an inch, their hearts were beating rather slowly, and their hearts were rhythmically very soft.

Dukes....

Wwwwhhhhhhooossshhh.....

Ccclllaanngg.....
