[Ashoka said]
"So, can you get information about that man?"
[John replied]
"Yes, Master. That man does not possess any magical power, and his name is Keiro. He is currently the King of the Kingdom of Time."
[Ashoka was shocked and said]
"What... he has no magical power? But how? Why? Isn't the Kingdom of Time ranked 1st among the 10 kingdoms?"
[John said]
"Master, I was also shocked to know that he has no magical power, but when I learned the truth, all the mysteries were solved. The story began when all 10 kingdoms signed a peace agreement. Two years after that agreement was signed, the prince of the Kingdom of Time was born, and his name was Keiro. For some reason, that prince had no magical power."
[Ashoka thought]
[That means he also broke the contract from the Legends. But the question is, who are those Legends, and what happened 500 years ago?]
[John continued]
"His father also hated him because his son had no magical power. But some years later, when Keiro turned 10, his father died, and no one in the kingdom knew how he died. However, some people said that when Keiro's father died, he was smiling.
After the king's death, many nobles tried to kill Keiro. They sent 500 trained assassins to kill him, but for some reason, the next day all those nobles who had sent the assassins were dead."
[Ashoka said]
"John, what are you trying to say? Explain properly."
[John said]
"Master, I want to say that I doubt how a 10-year-old kid could kill assassins without magic. So I investigated, and I found one assassin leader who had fled the kingdom to save his life. Then I captured him and asked what had happened 12 years ago when they went to kill King Keiro when he was young. He told me the whole story, and then I understood why the Kingdom of Time holds 1st place."
[Ashoka asked]
"So, what did he tell you?"
[John said]
"Master, he said that when he and his 500 comrades tried to kill Keiro, a mysterious man suddenly appeared and killed all his comrades in a single attack. He said that man also tried to kill him, but then Keiro stopped him and said, 'If you tell me who sent you, I will forgive you.' He then gave him the information and fled the kingdom to save his life."
[Ashoka said]
"Okay, I understand. But why are you so shocked? I think he is like you, an assassin who protects him."
[John said]
"No, Master. He also said that the man used magic to kill them, and we assassins can't use magic. Even if we could use magic, we couldn't kill 500 trained assassins in a single attack. Master, for your information, 1 trained assassin is equal to 10 soldiers."
[Ashoka was shocked and thought]
[What... how? Didn't Dad say that only royal blood possesses magic in the present era, and royal blood borrows magic from those Legends? So how does he have magic? Who is that mysterious man?]
[Ashoka said]
"John, do you know that man's true identity?"
[John replied]
"No, Master. I also don't know about that man, but I gathered some rumors, and the rumors say that the Kingdom of Time holds 1st place because of that mysterious man's help."
[Ashoka said]
"Okay, John. You may leave now. And one important thing—have you been training?"
[John said]
"No, Master. But why do you ask?"
[Ashoka said]
"Because I am ordering you to train your body from now on. We only have 5 years to train. Find a training partner because from tomorrow, I will also start training to control my power."
[John said]
"Okay, Master. Well, I have some old friends. I'll ask them tomorrow."
[John left the room, and we see Ashoka as he says]
"So, the time has come. I didn't think time would fly this fast. We only have 5 years now."
