Chapter 8 (1/2)

It was the day for the tutors to come.

A month after Cain's announcement, Garm finally found a tutor for Cain.

At noon, Cain was waiting for the tutors to come excitedly until Silvia came to call.

”Cain, the adventurer who will be your tutor has arrived. They are waiting for you in the reception-room

“Thank you, Sylvia, I'll go there right now”

Sylvia opened the door after knocking on the reception rooms door.

When I entered the room, there was a female swordsman who looked like she's in her early twenties wearing red light armor with her red hair tied in a simple ponytail, and a female magician in a robe with her hood up to her head.

He sat in front of them and greeted them.

”Nice to meet you, I'm Cain von Sylford. I turned five years old last month.

The female swordsman answered first.

”Nice to meet you. I'm Milly an adventurer from Gracia. My specialty is the one-handed sword and a s.h.i.+eld. D rank. Next to me is Nina.”

Milly uses an unfamiliar honorific and greeted him.

“N … Nina, pleased to meet you.”

”Nina! You said you would use honorifics when you meet the n.o.bility!”

Nina is blamed by Milly although she herself doesn't seem to be using honorifics.

”please calm down.both of you will be my teacher so you don't need to use honorifics with me.”

In light of Cain's words, Milly smiled tensely.

”Wow. It'll be really helpful if you say that. Nina is a shy person, so it's always like this. She like me is also D rank. Nina!'

Milly suddenly lowered Nina's hood.

What was revealed was A beautiful woman with green hair Moreover, her ears are long.

Oh. it's an Elf. I've never seen one before.

However, Nina immediately pulled her hood back up.

”Nina! well, you really are hopeless after all! Anyway, I was told that I would be the tutor for the lord's son, but are you really still five years old?

In response to a question from Milly, Cain became serious and looked at Milly.

”I'm the third son, so it's almost impossible for me to take over the house so father told me I could be whatever I want, so I wanted to be an adventurer in the future.”

“Hmm… well, I got the request from the adventurer's guild anyway so it should be alright. Well, I understand. As per the contract, we will come here twice a week to teach you about magic and swordsmans.h.i.+p.”

“understood”

Cain responded to Milly's explanation.

” then Let's go to the training area right away come on Nina.”

”I understand.”

I was guided by Silvia and came to the training ground in the backyard. although It's only the capital of a remote area, there is a training ground for soldiers. training swords are also available however they are made for adults, so i took my own wooden sword.

”First of all, let's start with swordsmans.h.i.+p. Let's see how good you are ”

I swung the wooden sword using kendo moves, I have martial arts skills, so the sword moved naturally.

I swung the sword up, down sideways. and in various other ways.

When I finished the course and turned to Milly.

Milly looked stunned with her mouth open.

“wait What's with Cain! There was nothing wrong with it.! Rather it looked really smooth!”

“He might be stronger than Milly …”

Nina said softly.

”Hey, I won't lose to a five-year-old! Cain! next let's do some light sparring ”

”Yes.”

Holding a wooden sword after distancing themselves for about 5 meters they faced each other.

As expected, I have an Lv.10 war G.o.d's blessing, so I thought it would be bad if I was serious, and decided to attack with about 30% of my power. I'm going to raise it little by little if it seems ok.

“Let's start when you're ready.”

Milly is ready.

“Here I go!”

I dashed immediately. Closing the distance of 5 meters instantly.

I swung down the wooden sword, but at the last minute, it was parried by the wooden sword that Milly had.

”Cain, are you really five years old?

”That's true. I was baptized last month.”

Cain continued attacking.

Milly can be tricked with a couple of moves However she would quickly recover her form and retaliate.until.

“Wait a minute, give me a break. If you keep doing this, I won't be able to stand it.”

”I understand!”

Distancing each other. Cain Was feeling fine, but Milly was breathing heavily.

”Cain, you must have been blessed by a G.o.d. Otherwise, there's no way you can have such Skills when you're five years old.”

”Actually, I'm was forbidden to reveal my status to anyone by father, but I don't think it would be a problem since are my teachers. Yes I do have a blessing from the G.o.d of war

”After all, it 's impossible for me to continue at this pace all day long. So Let 's change our plans.”

Milly answers while breathing heavily on her shoulder.
