Warlock of War: My Ares System

"You underestimate me… but I also have a request that you are free to turn down,"

"What is it?" I asked before downing the entire cup of tea and asking for some more as this shit was high quality.

But, I tried not to show the excitement on my face as that would completely ruin the solemn atmosphere I had built around myself.

"Can you and your friends have a friendly spar with the kids from this family? Some of them need to be badly humbled like Bella,"

"With weapons or hand-to-hand combat? Do I get something out of this? Like, give me more details. Don't make me ask everything,"

"It's a simple spar where you can choose whether you can use weapons or hand to hand combat. Also, don't you think the spear is enough as a reward?"

"Well, it seems I'll be turning your request do-"

"Fine, you greedy bastard. We'll reward you with some money, but please don't cripple my kids. Though… some of them you might struggle against, so I feel like you can learn some things as well,"

"Thank you very much," I replied before downing the second cup of tea and having another one poured for me.

"Alright, let's discuss the other thing,"

…

"Really?! Let's go! I wanted to beat their asses so bad!" Aisa shouted as she jumped on my bed with excitement like a little kid.

"Sit down! I'm trying to drink this coffee, and you're making me spill it everywhere!" Cy shouted as he was also sitting on the bed.

"Then sit down on a fucking chair like a normal human being! Why are you drinking liquid on top of a bed?! That's inhumane!"

"Well… this place is comfier," Cy muttered, and Aisa dug her glare just a bit deeper into him before jumping off the bed and stealing a snack from Findir.

He was currently eating breakfast in my room… on top of my damn bed.

"Everyone get out. I told you everything, so let me rest a bit…." I muttered, but everybody completely ignored me.

Cy continued to spill coffee all over my sheets, Findir kept getting crumbs on my blanket, and Aisa kept poking my spear.

"Tch… Whatever…"

"Hey! Orion! Can I try out your spear!?" Aisa shouted from across the room, and I rolled my eyes before waving my hand.

"Go ahead," I muttered.

Aisa quickly gripped the handle, and when she went to go pick it up, she noticed it didn't even budge.

"Damn… This thing is kind of heavy, don't you think?" She muttered before taking a deeper stance and then pulling up with all of her strength.

Plop

Her hands soon lost their grip, and she flipped backward onto my rug, staring up at me with piercing eyes.

I could barely hold in my laugh as she, of course, didn't know that only I could pick it up.

​ "Heh… fine… COME HERE!" She shouted and dashed towards me, her hand in the shape of a claw and her bloodlust exploding towards me.

Cy and Findir quickly cleared the way as Aisa tried to scratch me with her long nails.

But all I had to do was put stick my foot out and let her run into it like an idiot…

I could feel her organs moving around as my foot pierced her stomach, and as she was sent flying to the edge of the bed, she attempted to catch her breath.

"You motherfucker!"

I didn't have enough time to react as my feet slipped on the bed, and she quickly tried to punch me again… causing her to punch me in the face.

"You motherfu-!"

Suddenly, I was cut off by the door swinging wide open and Bella slowly entering the room, only to see Aisa and me in a catfight.

"Am I… interrupting something?" She asked, but with completely straight and serious faces, we both replied,

"Nah,"

"O-Okay, well, all the kids are ready for the matches, so come down once you're ready. Also, the weapons will be provided, so please don't use that thing," Bella said as she eyed the large spear sitting in the corner of the room.

"I wasn't planning on using that, so don't worry," I chuckled, and as Bella left with a weary smile, we all got our shit together.

…

(Bella POV)

I have a bad feeling about these sparring matches… if my cousins go too far, I don't know if those four will go easy on them.

I heard tons of things about the three, Cy, Aisa, and Findir, since they were top students and some of the strongest students in the school.

Orion, on the other hand… I guess he wasn't trying as hard… but now that I see him, I have a feeling that he doesn't care much about his ability to use a spear or sniper.

He seems more focused on just studying and… getting smarter, I guess.

But it seems he picked a physical class, so that previous statement just wouldn't make sense… ugh, whatever.

"They're finally here, so get ready, everyone," I said while turning to my six cousins.

Six kids, excluding me, reside in this mansion due to certain circumstances, either with the family in general or with their parents.

They all have red hair but with different shades, and I'd say most of them were about the same height… even the girls who are about 5'10.

So, three girls and three boys, each with the same haughty and arrogant personality.

"Damn, you sure have a big arena," Cy commented as he kicked up some dust with his feet.

"Let's get this started immediately. I don't know why the head wanted us to fight these guys, but I have shit to do," The eldest said as he walked up to Cy with an arrogant expression.

Nobody looked down on anybody as they were both the same height… but I felt the previous cocky Cy that I knew in Spear Theory was gone.

His gaze wasn't filled with suppressed arrogance, but actually, it was filled with confidence in his skills.

"Well, I guess you two could go first,"
