Chapter 393
Chapter 393
'Mother, it's me. I'm getting better at martial arts and magic."
"I see. That's a good thing. But, Mel, it's not enough. But you need to learn some manners as well."
"Yes, indeed".
Mel is sitting beside her mother's bed, looking happy, but her expression is somewhat uneasy.
I'm visiting my mother's room with Mel and Farrah right now.
As usual, Diana and the rest of the guards are with me.
While I was watching their interaction, Fara, who was standing next to me, asked Mother with a worried look on her face, "Mother, how are you feeling?
"How is your health, Mother?"
"Yes, I am feeling much better than before. Recently I have started to do some light exercises with Sandra watching over me."
"Well, I hope we can all go on an outing sometime."
Mother nodded smiling at the suggestion.
Yes, I'd like to ride in a charcoal wagon then. The ride is quite different from a horse-drawn carriage, right?
Yes, it depends on the road, but I think it will be less bumpy than a horse-drawn carriage."
Mel leaned forward, looking at me with a sideways glance.
'But, you know... Even so, my brother gets drunk easily.'
"Oh, really? That's tough."
"Hahaha ...... that's right. I wonder why."
As I scratch my cheeks with a wry smile under Mother's gaze, I can hear everyone around me laughing in a stealthy way.
Soon after, Mother resumed chatting with everyone.
As I smile at her, I realize that she is feeling better and better.
Mother's health has been very good recently, and as she said, she has started light exercise ...... and rehabilitation.
Sandra has also diagnosed that a full recovery will not be too far away.
Needless to say, our family and everyone in the Bardia family was happy to hear that news.
It was decided to keep the incident of the attack and what happened around the main house a secret from Mother and Mel.
This was done so as not to cause unnecessary worry.
By the way, I am scheduled to receive special training from my father after this meeting.
After the meeting that took place after the attack the other day, my father immediately sent a letter of protest regarding the attack to Gales Grandek, the tribal chief of the Fox People tribe in Zubera, the Beast Kingdom.
A parental letter with the joint names of Fara and Asuna was also sent to "Curtis Lanmark" in Renalute.
Of course, a letter of intent was also sent to the emperor of the imperial capital to report the attack.
Father also said that he would visit the imperial capital later to explain the situation.
We have yet to receive a response from any of them, but before that, we have begun to do what we can as Bardia.
These include a review of the security system at the workshop, countermeasures against "incantations" with the cooperation of the raccoon-dog tribe Dan and others, and strengthening border security to prevent Zubera and Barsto from entering the country.
At present, no new problems have emerged, but we cannot let our guard down.
A few moments later, there is a knock at the door.
"Master Rid. Master Rainer wants you to bring a wooden sword to the training hall."
"I understand. I'll be right there."
He answered Garn's voice through the door and bowed in awe to his mother.
"Then. I will leave you for today."
"Yes, dear. Please don't get hurt, Rid."
"Of course. I will pass your word on to father."
Then, Fara and Mel, who were standing next to him, smiled at him.
"Master Rid, take care of yourself."
"Good luck, brother!"
'Thank you, both of you. I'm off then."
After smiling at everyone, I left my mother's room with Diana and Capella and headed for the training grounds where my father was waiting for me.
◇
When I arrived at the training ground with my wooden sword, I found Father standing there quietly with the wooden sword in one hand.
"Father. Sorry to keep you waiting."
I bowed a little, and he slowly turned his head to look at me.
"You were here sooner than I expected. You were with Nannalee, weren't you?"
"Yes, I was. Mother told me not to get injured".
'...... I see. We must be careful not to get seriously injured".
After saying this, Father lightly holds up a wooden sword in one hand.
"...... father?"
The father laughs and points the tip of the wooden sword at me.
"Good. You seem to have very good instincts. What is your current ability? First, show me. Then we'll talk."
The presence that Father directed at us with these words had more of a murderous intent than usual.
In an instant, a shiver ran down my spine, and I gasped as I felt a nasty perspiration running down my entire body.
"You mean ......, no questions asked?"
"Mm-hmm. Think I am the fox man, Use everything you have and go ahead and challenge me. Diana, Capella. You stay out of this."
They bowed to him and stood back a short distance from him.
The father turned his sharp gaze on them again and looked at them as if he was going to shoot through them.
"Come, anytime."
"Okay, ......, I understand. Then, I will come."
Saying this, I took a deep breath and activated my physical strengthening.
And just like when I confronted Claire of the fox people, who was the head of the attackers, I began to challenge my father with all my might, making full use of my magic.
However, the difference in ability between my father and me was insurmountable.
He completely reads melee fights and repeatedly points the tip of his wooden sword at my throat, eyes, and nose.
I tried to distance myself from him and invoke my magic, but he would add magic to the wooden sword and calmly cut it down to nullify the effect.
If magic is repeatedly applied, the wooden sword will break due to lack of durability, but Father cuts off only the minimum necessary magic bullets, so that the wooden sword will not be burdened unnecessarily.
"What's wrong? Don't you use the magic that releases all the attributes you are good at? Don't hesitate."
Although the training had begun and they must have been engaging in a reasonably intense battle, Father did not seem to be out of breath.
Rather, he is pointing the tip of his wooden sword at us with ease.
"I told you,...... haha,......Don't regret it,......."
As I say this, I take up a position in the back air where there is nothing in the line of fire but my father.
After concentrating for a moment, I said to my father, who was looking at me.
I'm coming ...... all ten magic spears great wheel!"
With a chant, magic spears of all attributes were generated and flew toward Father.
He nodded at me observing, "Hmmm."
"I see. It is certainly a perfect and wonderful magic. But ......"
He muttered gruffly, cutting off the attacking magic spear and rushing toward me.
"It's a good idea to activate all the attributes at the same time, but it's just a teaser. If one sees it through, it's no big deal."
A moment later, the father was close by, and his mouth relaxed into a grin.
I'm in your bosom, huh?"
⁉......⁉"
I quickly tried to respond with a wooden sword, but it was already too late, and in an instant, I was knocked down and the tip of the wooden sword was on the tip of my nose.
And then there was the cool face of my father, not even a bead of sweat on his face.
"...... here I come."
"Mm. I'm still ...... coming. But if you can move this well at your age, you've done well.
He released me, stood up, and held out his hand.
I grasped his hand, and when I sat up, I bowed.
"Thank you, Father,but I'm not sure I'm up to the challenge now. But with my current abilities, I was no match for the head of the attackers. I must become stronger."
When I said this regretfully, my father's expression suddenly changed.
"I like your spirit, It's a little early to tell, but I'm going to teach you a new kind of magic."
"'Magic ......'? I tilted my head and he smiled wryly.
Yes, that's right. However, even though it is magic, the amount of magic power used for "physical strengthening" is called "physical strengthening #2," in which the magician can arbitrarily increase the amount of magic power used for "physical strengthening" by himself, and increase the power output.
"Physical Reinforcement ...... Type 2⁉"
Needless to say, my heart was racing with excitement at this unexpected new magic.
