" The guard nodded and picked Riko and dragged him to the laboratory where he was to be tested for a potential sage ability.

All he could do was comply as no one was there to help him.He was alone.

After taking the tests Riko was set free and immediately his mother grabbed him and treated his wounds alongside his siblings and some maids. The laboratory was like a slaughterhouse and was unbearable to an adult let alone a five-year-old, he was injured, bruised and scared he was crying uncontrollably.
