The Glorious Chronicle
Chapter 4 - Attribute Test

The next day, the entire Marquess family gathers in the living room to see Ethan's attribute test.

Claire, immediately took out 9 Magic Stones consisting of 9 different Attributes. Usually, there are only 4 attribute stones, but the Marquess family's wealth is not just a mere joke.

Claire looks at Ethan and explains how he uses it.

"These stones are Magic Stones, which have the function of checking attributes. For how to use it, simply inject Mana into it and the stone will glow. The brighter the beam, the better the affinity of that person with certain attributes. For reference, Mother is a Wind and Ice Attribute User, meanwhile your Father is a Fire and Non-Attribute Attribute Attribute and your Brother is an Ice and Fire Attribute."

Ethan who heard the information for the first time was a little surprised. From what he read, magic user 2 Attributes was extremely rare. And Marquess Mallorca had three people with the ability of 2 Attributes. The House of Mallorca is the lair of the Monsters.

Without caring what Ethan was thinking, his mother immediately asked him to start.

"So now you can do it."

"I understand, Mother."

Thus, Ethan immediately did what his mother had exemplified. But, he did not blindly do the exact same thing.

The people who saw the results of the Ethan test all widened their eyes as the third magic stone shone brightly.

"Eh!? Ti-three attributes!?"

"Wow!? Wind, Ice and Lightning!?"

"Crazy... How many, people can use three attributes?"

This is a very big thing. Of course it would be like that. Ethan manages to make three magic stones shine brightly that even his mother, Claire, the best Sorcerer in the Kingdom, has to admit defeat.

Ethan who saw that let out a sigh of relief. He was very worried that if he were to be caught using 12 Magic Attributes then it would definitely be very troublesome. So, he manipulated it in such a way that it looked like he could only use 3 Attributes. 3 Attributes are the limit to be comfortable in everyday use.

At that moment, his mother suddenly grabbed Ethan's shoulder very firmly. He looked Ethan straight into his eyes.

"Ethan! Do you want me to teach you magic? I will definitely make you the most powerful magician in the Continent!" seriously said.

Ethan whose shoulder was gripped by his mother wanted to cry, but he held her back and smiled at her.

"Sure Mom. I'm happy that Mom will teach me."

And when Ethan finished answering, Ethan was suddenly hugged by his mother.

"Hmmph!?"

Ethan, drowning in heavenly tenderness, could not breathe. His mother, unconcerned with Ethan's circumstances and spoke with a happy smile.

"Yeah! Don't you smile often now! Goody! Just pay Mom with a smile and I'll make you the strongest witch!"

Ethan tries to ask God or Alvin for help with hand gestures, but they just look at Ethan with envious eyes.

They were completely unbelievable, Ethan muttered in his heart.

Ethan tried his hardest to keep his consciousness. He felt like he could see the God staring at him from the room where he was reincarnated.

Just then, a voice that was like a helper angel to Ethan sounded.

"Marchioness, Young Master has trouble breathing." 

Claire who heard that was shocked and immediately released Ethan from her embrace. And what he saw was Ethan with his eyes turning.

"Well... eh? Why... is there a river?" ethan's mumbling is unclear.

Claire who saw that immediately shook Ethan's body.

"Ethan! Wake up! Don't cross that river!"

Lord and Alvin who saw that also did the same to Ethan.

"Ethan! Ethan, back!"

"Ethan! You still owe me a smile! Don't go yet!"

Ethan is shaken by the three monsters, his head is spinning and he eventually loses consciousness.

"...."

Lord, Claire and Alvin who saw it were in great shock. Their faces turned pale and panicked.

"""Thaaaaaan!""" his third shout echoed in the Marquess mansion back then.

***

Ethan, the unconscious, finally wakes up after nightfall. He opened his eyes.

"Ughs. I never thought that such gentle things could be harmful" he exclaimed.

In light of that, Ethan is worried that he will have a deep trauma about it.

When Ethan had improved a little, the door suddenly opened hard.

Brak!

"!"

Ethan gasped slightly when the door suddenly opened.

"Ethan!? Thank goodness you're awake!"

Alvin comes in and immediately hugs Ethan tightly. Ethan being hugged by a handsome guy has a very strong rejection in him.

Ethan, whose body has not recovered, hits his older brother.

"Ka-Kakak..please, my body still hurts…."

Alvin immediately releases his embrace of Ethan when Ethan says that.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I was too happy until I forgot about it." he said regretfully.

"It doesn't matter brother... More than that, where are Mom and Dad?" ethan looked around.

Normally, Lord and Claire are already here 25/6 on standby. But, at this time Ethan could not see the presence of the two.

Alvin who heard that, had a slightly unkind face. He explains to Ethan with a tough face.

"Ah, that is.it seems like the monsters in the Black Forest are experiencing abnormal things like their increasing numbers and their rising strength sharply."

Ethan's face becomes no good when Alvin begins to explain. This must be an anomaly from the resurrection signs of the Demon God and his subordinates….

Alvin, who saw Ethan's ugly face, tries to calm him down.

"Don't worry Ethan. Even if the Monsters come, Mom and Dad will definitely kick them out" Alvin said, patting Ethan on the shoulder.

Ethan was a little jolted. He was really stifled when he heard things related to the Demon King or the Demon God.

Ethan smiled to convince his brother.

"Pulse. After all, a Golden Lion and an Ice Witch could not possibly lose."

Alvin smiled amusedly when the nicknames Lord and Claire were mentioned.

"Yes, fufu, they are the famous Dragon Slayer Couple" he said.

"Ah, I heard there is a shop in the Capital that sells a Wyvern-shaped cake related to both!"

"Oh, I bought it once, but it was immediately thrown away by Mom because she said it tasted bad."

The two talked various things about things that were impossible to talk about when there was a Lord and Claire, such as the past of God and Claire, who was already very famous as a dragon-slaying couple while still in the Academy or even a cake that they often bought when they went to the city secretly for a date first.

That happiness didn't last long, until a pair of voices rang out from beside Alvin and Ethan.

"Heh.. It seems like you guys are the Mallorca brothers talking about exciting things."

"True, why don't you guys invite Mom and Dad to join as well?"

""!""

Alvin and Ethan's bodies become tense when they hear the two voices they recognize.

They looked towards the voice slowly like a broken robot only to see the dark smiles of Lord and Claire.

"Looks like you're having fun, can you invite us, hm?" ask his mother to smile.

Under Claire's venomous eyes, Alvin and Ethan take on the last move that can be done in the current situation.

""I'm sorry!""

Both of them regretfully went straight down from the mattress and kowtowed at the feet of their two parents.

Claire who saw that, spoke softly to the two(?).

"Ah, don't worry Ethan, surely you were only invited by Alvin, right? You just take a break."

Ethan who heard that, raised his head looked at Claire with teary eyes.

"REally…?" tanyanya.

Seeing that, not only Claire but also Lord could not bear with little Ethan's timidity.

"Um! Just rest! I'll ask someone to bring you the best food!"

"Your mother's right! Don't worry, just rest. From the beginning it wasn't your fault!"

Ethan's face instantly brightened in the blink of an eye. He smiled as bright as the sun and hugged his Mom and Dad.

"Thank you, Dad, Mom. And. I'm sorry."

Lord and Claire had faces that were like melting seeing that. Ethan is much more expressive than before and this is a good thing for them.

"Um! Just chill! There's nothing wrong with Ethan!"

"Yes! Don't worry about it!"

Alvin who saw the unreasonable exchange was trying to protest.

"Eh? What does that mean! Then, what about me!?"

Lord and Claire stare at Alvin with very different gazes 180° from the moment they stare at Ethan.

"Huh? Of course this is special training."

"Yes, don't worry. Your father's gonna train you so hard."

Alvin who heard that was desperate. Then he stared at his last hope, Ethan.

"Ethan…." 

Ethan had a typical confused expression on children, and he immediately smiled.

"Um! Brother's spirit!" ethan says.

Lord, Claire and Alvin feel that Ethan's smile is really dazzling.

Lord and Claire looked at Alvin with a smile on their lips, but their eyes were not smiling at all and were just filled with envy.

"See, Alvin? Ethan's been giving you some encouragement, so let's do our best, okay?"

"Your father's right. Come on, do we practice our best, Alvin?"

Alvin, who is under that pressure, has only one answer to give.

"I-I understand, Father.." replied Alvin in despair.
