疯狂的家庭

While Arius was enjoying his time, somewhere underground in the Kingdom of Darkness a major event unfolded...

"Duke Fay, Hajime, your youngest son has no mana or skills..." The old man hesitantly spoke while holding his aging body up with a wooden cane.

"...." Duke Fay, who was sitting behind a large wooden desk in a medium sized chair sat there in silence after hearing this unfortunate news.

The gaze under Duke Fay\'s eye caused the old man to swallow a huge amount of salvia and continue his words:

"I swear to the Goddess Theia I tested him the correct way and did it multiple times."

The old man\'s body shook violently and at any moment he felt like he would be killed just by the gaze alone.

"So, Hajime is a waste? How is that possible!?" Duke Fay slammed his hand on the desk causing papers to fly off.

"Eek!"

This burst of anger caused the old man to fall on his butt while letting out a scared reaction from his mouth.

Pushing out his chair and leaving from behind his desk Duke Fay strolled over to a medium size portrait which was attached to the gray wall.

The portrait showed his entire family.

His three wives, and four kids including Hajime.

He shook his head from left to right in disappointment as he gazed lightly at his family portrait.

His eyes finally landed on his youngest son who had a bright smile on his face as he hung onto his mother\'s pink long skirt.

"DAAAAMN IT!!!"

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Duke Fay repeatedly punched the portrait.

Over and over...

Until the portrait didn\'t show Hajime anymore.

The old man who witnessed such an action didn\'t dare to speak and instead kept his mouth sealed tight.

After a couple minutes Duke Fay took a calm deep breath and walked back to behind his desk and sat in his chair.

"Allow me to apologize for my lack of maturity for my sudden outburst." Duke Fay said.

"Not at all Duke Fay! You have a right to such emotion!" The old man waved his hands crazily around like he was casting a spell.

At this moment the old man regretted taking this job...

If he knew this would happen he would have never taken the job in the first place!

Now he has to walk on eggshells around the duke to make sure he doesn\'t offend him in any way!

"Call upon Hajime to my study room..." Duke Fay ordered while pointing to the door.

The Old man nodded his head.

Slowly but surely he gently grabbed his wooden cane which was laying to the right side of him and strugglingly pushed himself back up to his two feet.

He then made his way toward the door and left to find the youngest son.

Walking down the giant elegant hallway the old man passed by many maids who were cleaning expensive and priceless portraits and many other things.

Finally arriving in front of the youngest room he knocked a couple times.

Knock, knock, knock, knock.

"Excuse me, Hajime your father Duke Fay has called upon you to his study." The old man said quietly with a little fear hinged in his voice.

"Give me a second! I must make sure I\'m presentable!"

An energetic innocent voice came from inside the room.

After some rustling sounds inside, the door finally opened revealing a small boy who was 3.75Cm tall.

He had short pitch blacked color hair and midnight black colored eyes which glowed with happiness.

The clothes he had on were solid-colored brown shorts matched with a button-up shirt.

His shoes were brown and he had long socks that ran up his legs.

This was the youngest son of the Fay family...

Hajime Fay.

"Please follow me." The old man bowed his head a little and spoke in a respectful tone then began walking down the hallway.

"Yes sir!" Hajime followed behind as he showed a bright smile.

Along the short trip Hajime asked many questions of why he was being summoned and such but he got no response back from the old man.

So it was a silent walk.

Arriving in front of Duke Fay\'s study room the old man took a deep breath.

"Duke Fay, I have brought your youngest son at your request." He said, looking toward the door.

"You are excused, Hajime come in."

Hearing the Duke say he was not needed anymore made the old man want to jump in glee!

Of course because of his age he couldn\'t do that type of physical action so he just made his way toward the exit instead.

"See you tomorrow old man!" Hajime waved his right hand in the air while his cute voice resounded through the halls.

He then entered his father\'s study with a bright smile.

Upon entering he found his father standing with his back straight up in a dignified posture behind his desk.

"Sit down..." Duke Fay gestured to his son to take a chair.

"Yes father!" Hajime took the closest chair and pulled it toward his father.

Sitting down on the chair he waited patiently for his father to say why he summoned him.

Seeing his son seated, Duke Fay then took his own seat.

With a heavy sigh he looked at his son coldly.

Hajime felt his entire body flinch and his heart slightly clenching.

In his entire life he has never seen his father look at him so indifferently.

"F-Father why are you staring at me like that?" Hajime asked. "You\'re scaring me..."

Ignoring his son\'s words, Duke Fay took out a sheet of paper and handed it over to his son.

With shaking hands Hajime took the paper and looked over it.

Scanning the paper his eyes went wide and soon he found himself shaking in disbelief.

"I-I don-don\'t have any mana or skills!?" He pushed out of his chair and looked at his father. "This must be a mistake, father!"

"It\'s not a mistake." Lord Fay shook his head.

"Bu-But I am a noble, I\'m supposed to have mana!" Hajime desperately spoke as tears threatened to fall from his eyes. "Commoners only possess skills! And you\'re saying I don\'t even have skills, not even one? Does this mean I\'m below a commoner!?"

"That\'s correct, you are below a commoner." Lord Fay agreed with his son\'s words. "Every living organism possesses at least one skill or multiple... what makes us nobles stand out is our possession of mana and you don\'t even possess that."

Hajime felt his whole identity was stolen right in front him as he heard his fathers words.

"So what should I do, father?" He asked with small tears coming down his eyes.

Duke Fay sneered then snapped his finger.

The door to his study opened showing a middle aged man covered from head to toe in a brown rag.

Turning his head, Hajime tilted his head at the new visitor.

"Father, who is this?" He asked as he wiped his tears from his white cheeks.

Duke Fay didn\'t respond but merely nodded his head slightly like he was signaling something.

Suddenly the middle aged man disappeared from where he was standing and appeared right in front of Hajime who showed a shocked expression at this sudden action.

He then grabbed Hajime by the arm and threw him on top of his shoulder like a bag of potatoes.

"Father, what is happening!" Surprised by all this, Hajime began to freak out.

Duke Fay didn\'t respond but merely snapped his finger.

Hajime\'s vision began to fade and his vision soon turned to darkness.

Knowing the small boy on his shoulder was out cold the middle aged man looked at Duke Fay who was his employer.

"Where should I dispose of him?" He asked in a rusty voice.

"Somewhere on the outer part of the border near a poor village, just somewhere he\'ll die fast." Duke Fay said. "I don\'t want anybody knowing I had a waste in my bloodline! So keep this a secret or else I\'ll cut off your head!"

"Of course, my lips are sealed, I\'ll dispose of this waste immediately." The middle aged man spoke as he took a bow and disappeared without a noise or trace.

Once he saw his subordinate disappear Duke Fay rubbed his head.

"To think for 5 years I had to act like a good father just to find out my son had no mana or skills!" He slammed his fist on his desk causing it to break in half.

His eyes turned bloodshot and soon he found himself looking out a giant window which oversaw various buildings.

If he knew beforehand his son didn\'t have any skills or mana he would have killed him off to make sure he didn\'t smudge the family name!

Now...

All he had to do was tell his 3rd wife Victoria that her son ran away from home and got himself killed...

Walking over to the door he exited and went to find his 3rd wife to break the \'sad\' news.
