23 Past edition [03] Desire without ability.txt (1/2)

Several years have passed since the crisis of ”annihilation” (that incident).

Virum, who had been raised by the spirits, was now nine years old.

The signs of ”annihilation” appeared several times, but thanks to the efforts of Satya, Hinori and the spirits, there were no problems.

The spirits taught him how to strengthen his body, and battle training had become a part of his daily routine.

It seems that Radia is in charge of today's combat training.

”Don't stay on your feet, Vilm! ”Always move to prevent your opponent from taking aim!

”Ugh, d*mn it!

Radia reprimands him, and Vilm attacks him in frustration and tears out of frustration.

'Whoa!

Naturally, there is no way such an attack would work on Radia, and she is easily avoided and thrown away.

'Ahoy! I've always told you not to get desperate under any circumstances!

Ugh! Sister Dear, one more move!

Even though he's scrubbed all over his body, Virum's fighting spirit hasn't diminished in the slightest.

Radia also reprimands him, but she seems to enjoy dealing with the oncoming Virum.

'There!'

”Sweet! Who's going to make a sound to close the gap? You're looking at the same thing! I know where you're going with this!

The bottom of Radia's palm was countered by Virum, who rushed into the ground.

Blown away as he rolled on the ground, Virum turned his eyes and passed out.

A dozen minutes later, Virum wakes up with Radia on her knees.

When he remembers that he was made to pass out, he shows a regretful expression.

''Ugh..., I didn't even get a shot at sister Diah again. I thought I was getting used to the physical strengthening,

”Kakkay! You can't take a blow from Wilbo so easily. He's not experienced in battle, and he's not of the same age.

Radia smiles pleasantly while roughly stroking Virum's head, which is slightly depressed.

Although Vilm looks embarrassed, he doesn't pretend to be uncomfortable and accepts Radia's hand.

A sweet and calm atmosphere flows through the air.

''Radia, do you have a minute?''

Radia only turns her head in the direction the voice came from.

'Jenny? What's going on?''

It was Jenny, one of the Queen's (Satya) entourage, who walked over.

''I'm sorry to be in the middle of Master Virum's training, but there's an intruder. Satya-sama has sent out a request to intercept you.''

”Very well. Well, it's so rude to interrupt my meeting with my boy.

Radia removes her hand from her head, which she had been stroking regretfully.

'Sister Dear, I'm coming too!

”No, sir!

As soon as his hand left his hand, Virum jumped up and pulled his face to Radia's and told her that he was going too, but he was dismissed without a pause.

The sweetness on Radia's face from earlier wasn't there, and she caught Virum with a serious look in her eyes.

It's a good thing that you've grown a little stronger, but don't get complacent. Vilbo is still a child. I'm sure you'll find that the adventurers are not as weak as you think they are.

''That's right. Let's leave it to Radia to handle it, so let's wait quietly, Virum-sama.''

I... I get it.

Wyrm knows that the two of them are thinking of him, so he nodded, though reluctantly.

You're a good listener. I'll see you again when I get back. Then, I'll be off.''

Virum listens meekly, and Radia puts a hand on his head with a gentle smile on her face and announces their departure.

Virum looks away from Radia, who is crawling on the ground and running away from his sight.

(I want to help everyone else too...)

The desire to help the spirits swirled in his chest.
