Chapter 13 (1/2)

Ahinis (Grandfather)

“…… I a that child feel pressured”(Zeno)

“No, that is absolutely not tru-“(Jirba)

“There is no need to consolehim for 15 years and did not notice his pain I have failed as a grandfather” (Zeno)

“Supreme Commander” (Jirba)

I stopped Jirba’s words that were going to try to console me Jirba looked at me with a very co

Jirba is a spearht He is a man who rose to the position of the head of the spear unit in the kingdoe of 35 His full name is Jirba von Spiez He is a person who is very much like his son in that he is a muscle brain and does not think too hard about cohtforward and trustworthy ood with a spear

His son, Jin, is also a child of the spear, and could use both Fire and Lighting e of 15

When ht that I would have Jirba’s son, Jin, inherit the title of [Hero of the Spear] There was no doubt in randson, Doyle, was spoiled by his parents, Alan and Serena, and had started exhibiting doht that I could not let such a boy inherit the title of Duke of Aghinis

My feelings regarding this decision did not change even after I heard his oath during the entrance cerearding the place of the declaration, and I could not forgive hiized for that, but I still could not trustto ask hi rooain I had heard that Doyle would be participating in the fights in acade to him there

To hness Gray had invited randson was to off with Jin in these fights I slowly looked at his highness and saw that he had turned away froed after his talk with Doyle following the entrance ceremony He seemed to have returned to his forrandson I was pleased at this sight I was also pleased at the ht that this would be a fine place to determine if he deserved the title of [Hero of the spear]

However, this tiht with a sword instead of a spear I thought he was running away again, but after hearing the conversation between the two, I felt I was looking at Alan when he was young: Doyle’s stance with a sas giving off the sa Thus, I told randson was trying to tell everyone

The le injury on his body

Further unit was eventhan the match

Doyle was fighting Jin while holding back a lot of moves and skills The techniques Doyle had used on Jin, the eyes of someone as able to make such split-second decisions, and the ability to draw a person in, were not the form of the Doyle that I had seen the past five years

While I atchingunit, I continued to be even more surprised

That young e of Medicine in the academy and was even scouted by the royal palace before I heard that he had declined their invitation in a very fierce way, and thus, randson had easily gotten a position to negotiate with such a person in a short period of time

Doyle, as happily talking with that young man, started to look towards Jin, who had just woken up It see

Doyle had kicked away Jin’s invitation for a re thing of all

“I do not have any aptitude! I have no aptitude with the spear or stave!”(Doyle)

Fifteen years have gone by since that boy was born, but it felt like this was the first time I had ever heard hi my head

Fro we had done so far, I could say that Doyle’s skills with the spear were not bad

This was my evaluation of Doyle’s technique and skill with the spear: not bad, but also not good

If he fought the apprentice knights, they would instantly die

If he fought the regular knights, those people would have significant trouble beating him

However, being just that strong was not enough

It was true that having thatfuture, but it was not enough to earn the title of [Hero of the Spear]

When I was Doyle’s age, the kingdom was at war, and I had already earned my titles of [War God of the Spear] and [Hero of the Spear]

His father, Alan, had already been selected as a candidate for the [Hero of the Spear] at his age, and had already been given the na Lancelot]

Doyle was excellent, but I have seen a lot of spearmen like Doyle in ht I should not allow hihinis

I also thought that if he had not iraduation, I would disown him with my own hands

Right then, I felt like my face had been slapped several times and my heart, crushed by the confession Doyle hts I had forced onto him

“Do you have any idea of how I felt when I learned that? My father and Grandfather are both [Heroes of the Spear], but my aptitude for my Spear and Staff techniques are non-existent! It is not like I a at all! I have trained for ten years! Ten years! Even if I keep swinging for another ten years, I will still get nowhere How can you, who has been given everything with the spear, ever understand ht to talk to me like that?!”(Doyle)

It was a club toout

I could have thought about s, like when or where he found out about his aptitude, but none of that mattered when I heard his words

I had thought it was only natural

Aptitude is ic, your ancestors must have it in order for you to obtain it My son Alan obtained my aptitude with the spear had inherited the title [Hero of the Spear]

But because it was natural, I had also forgotten this important aspect: “mostly”

Aptitude does transfer parent to child, but only most of the time Not all children obtain their parent’s skills Sometimes they obtain their ancestors’ skills Serena was one such case: she inherited her healing ic from a past ancestor

In the first place, I was actually a mutant in my family

The house I was born into was predoic There were h level But then I was born, a iven looks and strange glares each time in my family

I could not take it anymore and departed from my family, which was an earl’s house

I wandered for a long period of tihter and fell in love with her
