After he said those words, his sister then said to Amelia.
" Mom, can i also join the tournament? "
" In that tournament, only males are allowed to join, as it was stated in the rules.
Amelia then suddenly look to Shio.
And they must be circumcised to enter there Shio. "
Shio then remembered that dreadful experience, when he was 10 years old.
At the age of 10, all males should be circumcise to get a power from the gods, or so called " blessing ". And all of the males were excited to get a blessing at that day.
But i, Shio Eloston, was so scared to get circumcise, the reason was, I'm too scared to get my foreskin cut off.
There was a time that my mom, and my sister, force me to get circumcise, and i was so scared thinking that, my dick might fell off on its own.
Many kids at the age of 10 were there alone. I then fall in line with the other kids, my mom and my sister were in a far distance watching me, and my sister was just waving at me.
It was my turn right after the kid went out, i was shaking from head to feet.
As i open the door, i saw a man sitting while readying his 8 inch holy wand, he then said to me.
" Come inside little boy, and sit over there. "
I then sit to where he was pointing at, and his voice was so soft, but it was so uncomfortable to me, i then said with a shivering voice.
" W-w when, ar-e we g-onna start?. "
The man suddenly stood up while holding his holy wand, and goes behind my back, while i was sitting, and he then said, while stroking my shoulders.

" We are gonna start right now, Don't worry, everything will be fine. "
He then put me to sleep with a magic cast, and when i woke up, everything seems fine to me. I slowly open my eyes, and he said.
" Alright, its all done, you can now go to the Vivid Forest, and once your there, a statue of a goddess will grant you a power, once you close your eyes. "
After that, i just leave like nothing have happened, and when i approach my mom and my sister, i then said to them.
" I'm finally circumcise, i think I'm ready to get my blessings from the goddess. "
Alicia then said to Shio
" Did you ever feel the pain Shio? "
" I didn't even feel the pain nor anything. "
Amelia then said to Shio
" You should go now Shio, and take the blessing of the goddess, at the vivid forest. "
" Alright, i should go now. "
He then walk away while slowly fading, and Amelia and Alicia were looking on his back, Alicia then said to Amelia.
" I hope the goddess will bless Shio a cool power like mine, mom. "
" Don't worry Alicia, your little brother will be blessed, and he will become the protector of humanity. "
Alicia then doubt his mom last words.
" Protector of humanity, huh..... "
Shio was already familiar at the vivid forest place, and he know where it was, but unlike before, it wasn't crowded, but now, there are too many kids including girls.
The forest was surrounded with trees and hedges as i enter to it, and it was wide and beautiful, also, the water is just on a low level, and the statue of the goddess was place in the middle of it.

I saw one kid showing his power to his friends to impress them, after that, he's right hand generated a normal size fireball, while raising his right hand.
And, almost all of the kids there, are showing off there new power to each other, after that, i close my eyes as i enter in the forest, just like that guy said, the one who got me circumcise.
Its strange that i didn't feel anything nor something change, i did close my eyes for about 2 hours, and still, nothing have happened, and all of the kids there were gone as i open my eyes.
I was so sad and dissapointed, that nothing happened, and i just stood there like a complete idiot, and i was so sad that i cried a lot.
I returned to the kingdom after that, and entered to my royal room, and started crying like a complete faggot.
I didn't tell anyone that i didn't receive any blessings from the goddess, and my mother and sister didn't also ask what power i got from the goddess.
Once you receive your blessings from the goddess, its up to you if you will hide it, or show it to them.
Until now, i still didn't receive the blessings from the goddess, and i keep coming back from the vivid forest every day just to close my eyes, and Its been 16 years i been doing that.
And on this day, i give up going there, hoping that, the goddess will bless me a power. And i then knock to my sister room and approach her, and said to her confidently when she opens the door.
" I wanna get stronger sis, teach me how to cast a magic and how to handle a sword properly. "
When i was facing my sister, she then pat me on the head and said.
" Your taller than me now, and approaching me so confidently, and back then, when you were a little kid, you can't even approach me with that face. "
My sister then walk away from the hallway and said
" Time flies so fast, and tomorrow the sun will rise again, right Shio? "
I then said.
" So, is that a yes sis? "
My sister then turns back and said to me.
" What are you waiting for?, let's go outside, and we will start our training there. "
I then walk along with my sister, until we get outside of the kingdom.

Swindle
—A Celebration of all things chess... Shounen Sports–manga Style. Anasthese is the current reigning World Champion for the Junior Chess Female Division. For years, she's wanted nothing more than to beat the Male Division Champion, Rei. These two are considered prodigies way ahead of their age; none of their peers even come close to holding a candle against them. But be that as it may, Anasthese too, cannot hold a candle to Rei... She's never beaten Rei once he's serious. Anasthese has always considered Rei the best of her generation. It's her lifelong goal to beat and surpass him. That's why, when Rei's cancer had become fatal after their 3rd year running, Anasthese took it hard. Rei will die, with her never having beaten him, not even once. Things take an unexpected turn when Rei reveals that he is far from the "invincible" player Anasthese envisions him to be. Even he has someome he could never beat, not even if his life depended on it... a fellow apprentice who studied with him under GM Amane. A guy so-called "Net". This enrages Anasthese. A person stronger than Rei should not exist. Because if he did, then what has all her efforts for the past years been for? And if this Net "does" exist, why doesn't he challenge Rei for the title? Rei tells her it's not that simple... Net's playstyle is void. It's an enigma. It's chess that should not exist, and should physically not be possible to play. It goes against all logic, and it's power is not something that can be measured in numbers. It's something that would "absolutely not work" in a professional setting. Anasthese attends Rei's funeral as a last rite before setting off for Japan, bound towards the disintegrating Futenma Shintenkan Highschool chessclub, of which there are only two members left: Mukuro and Net. She has to see it with her own eyes, a playstyle that Rei lost to... And as Anasthese stays for the long-term, various misadventures are started at Futenma High, including rebuildung the club, Anasthese's "Royal Guards" (four girls dedicated to serving Anasthese and helping challenge Rei) coming to take her back to America, and unexpected guests gracing the local Sports Meet chess scene. From a guy who can only play well everytime money's involved, to a girl who plays on a weird "Magical Girls vs Orcs" chess set, get introduced to the quirky playstyles that make chess wonderful. (Disclaimer: I am not a chess pro, I'm only 1400. Expect me to have no idea what I'm talking about at certain times...)
