15 CHAPTER I SPECIAL TRAINING WITH Grandpa (1/2)

It's been five days since the day they took me to Sherry's house.

After that, Shelly said to me, ”Why did you leave while I was asleep? I had to have a long telephonic conversation with her to get her in a better mood, and she wouldn't let me sleep.

And every day after that, Shelly started telegraphing to me at night.

I asked her why she only telepathized at night, and she replied

”Because in the daytime, people are always around, and I'm so embarrassed.

People can't hear you talking on your own, so why not in the afternoon?

I just don't want you to see my face when I'm talking to you.

What the f*ck do you look like?

No, it's not like that.

Really?

No more telepathic stories for today!

Oh, he got away.

He's so cute and embarrassed.

In the telepathic communication, we talked a lot about the events of that day.

It was just that every morning I got sleepy the next day and had a hard time.

Today was the day Mom and Dad would go home.

I'm going to start training with my grandfather and go to school, so I'm not going home.

Okay, well, see you later, Leo.

Yeah, I'll see you later.

You need to listen to your grandma and grandpa.

I know. You take care of yourself, Mom.

Of course. Don't stay up late if you can help it.

Uh-huh.

Could it be: .... They know you're talking to your mind?

My mom and dad are old enough to know better than to take it easy on themselves.

I'm not old enough to let you worry about me!

Don't worry, you're safe, but get the f*ck out of here.

Oh, see you later.

And with that, they walked out of the house.

So let's start training Leo.

Huh? Now?

Are you going to start?

Yeah, it's only eight months until school starts.

Already?

I don't think you can do any special training when you get to school: .....

'Well, if you're going to go that far, I don't mind.'

Huh? Seriously? You're not gonna stop?

”Okay, once we've decided that, we need to start thinking about our schedule. First of all, how many hours a day does the old lady have?

I don't want it now.

Why?

Last time I heard, Damien told me that Leo is already at a pretty good level of magical manipulation, so I don't have anything to teach him right now.

So how soon will you start teaching?

''That's only after you've gained some use of unattributed magic, I'll determine the time.

In that case, I'll have Leo build up his physical strength in the beginning, and after a week or so, he'll be taught swordsmanship in the mornings, and after he's built up his strength, he'll start swordsmanship in the mornings and non-attribute magic in the afternoons.

It's not like the special training you imagined: .....

Oh no, it's spartan training.

Well, let's just do some bodybuilding after we eat today.

Wow.

Then I had lunch and came out in the yard with my grandpa.

Well, let's get started.

Yes, sir.

Then keep running around the house until I tell you first.

What?

Out of the blue?

Just go.

When I was reluctant to start running, he gave me a frightening look that I couldn't imagine from his kind face.

When I saw that, I started to run as a reflex.

”What the hell did you do to me?

Carina approached as she saw Leo running.

''He's smart, so he'll probably be able to learn swordsmanship and non-attribute magic in no time. So I thought I'd work on my body before that.

'That's not what I'm asking, I'm asking why you are making me practice so much harder than my other grandchildren.

Yeah, that's because you're like me in that regard.

How are Leo and your grandfather alike?

Carina tilts her head.

''It's just that . It's just that aptitude magic is bad, and no matter how great the rest of us are, the people around us are cold! Leo will be too when he starts school now.

Oh, you mean when you were first summoned?

Yeah, that's right. They summoned me on their own accord, but as soon as they found out that my aptitude magic was bad, they started treating me like I was incompetent. And it really pisses me off that when I come back from my fight with the Demon King, they're praising me, but behind the scenes they're working to make it theirs somehow.

Kent felt nostalgic, but resentful of his past.

”Is that why you're putting Leo through all this hard training?

'Well, all I can teach Leo is unattributed magic, swordsmanship and how to fight.

It's enough. After all, there aren't many people who can do non-attribute magic.

It's a waste of time, really. You could do so much good if you tried.

It's the times we live in.

Oh, I think Leo's about to go down.

Leo's wobbling around.

Stop him now!

Hey, Leo, it's all over now.

When Leo heard that, he fell to his knees.

＜One week later.
