Chapter 486 – Chapter 486 – Audience

◈

Next day.

I had breakfast again with my father, mother, and Alex.

My father’s glare was still stinging.

It was an hour later, after the liberal arts class, that I showed Alex the sparring between me and Noah.

In the meantime, I tried to contact my father one more time and build friendship, but…

“Grrrr”

I am very wary of my father.

“West.”

“Ugh… Keuhmm,”

Even if my mother calms me down and tries to approach me again.

“Oh, don’t come! Are you trying to make me do such an ugly thing in front of your wife and Gracia!”

“Oh, no… Just talk for a while…”

“If you want to talk, do it next time! My body wants to lie down on its own when you approach!”

“…Yes.”

It seemed that my father needed time to control his body his with his mind his.

“Oh, Mr. West. I don’t think West’s pose of submission is bad either.”

“Ma’am?!”

“It is natural to give in to the strong.”

“Ha, but ma’am…”

“Of course, I understand Seo-Bang-nim’s feelings about her. However, it’s not good to be too hostile. After all, Seo-Bang-nim is too out of control and this is what happened, is n ‘t it self-inflicted?”

“Boo, ma’am… You’ve been talking too much lately.”

“Ho-ho-ho, it’s the punishment that made me suffer every night for three months. Gracia, son-in-law, and the others, please don’t worry about us and be at ease. Come on, Seobang-nim , you should prepare to go to the palace.”

“Ah, I see.”

My father also left the mansion.

“Seobang, I’m going shopping with my mother.”

“Ah, then I’ll come too! I’m curious what clothes are sold at Bridan!”

“Okay then let’s go together, Tina.”

“Yes!”

Raifa and Tina go shopping for clothes with Lailing’s mother.

“Hey, Mr. Gracia, where is the library?”

“Follow me.”

Mr. Gracia headed to the study with Elsie for an appointment to guide Elsie to the study.

The only ones left are me, Noah, Tikia, and Nina.

“Alex said he was coming to the training center after class, so let’s go first.”

“Yes it is.”

We decided to wait for Alex at the training center first.

However, I started sparring with Niña to warm up.

“Ha!”

Booooong!

Niña-san attacked me with all his heart his, even if not with all his power his, and I responded by passing away Niña-san’s attack with my hand.

Looking at it like this, Niña-san’s attacks are even faster than when they first sparred.

Since Mr. Graycia and Mr. Raifa became lovers, he often sparred not only with Noah but also with both of them, and it was noticeable that his skills improved even more.

While continuing to fight.

Bang!

I grabbed Mr. Niña’s spear and stopped him from moving.

“What’s wrong, Rant?”

“Alex is coming.”

Through the windows of the training center, I saw Alex running.

Squeak!

“Sister Gracia! Classes are finished! … Huh? Brother Rant and … The new sisters?”

Alex tilted his head and said.

“Uh, uh… Where are Sister Gracia and Sister Raifa?”

I stopped sparring with Niña and approached Alex.

“Gray Shea is in the study with Elsie right now. Lai Fa went shopping for her clothes with her with Lai Ling’s mother.”

“Oh, I see.”

Alex seemed a bit disappointed that Mr. Gracia and Mr. Raifa were gone.

From now on, Alex is like my precious little brother.

So let’s cheer up Alex as much as we can.

“Alex, you said you wanted to see Dalian, right?”

“Ah, yes! I want to see how strong Brother Rant is! And… You don’t have to treat me with respect like Sister Gracia did. Rae, Brother Rant is my older brother!”

“Okay, then I’ll be comfortable with you, Alex.”

“Yes!”

Alex nods and shakes his head.

It was very unique and cute.

Good! Big brother will show off his skills very nicely!

“Then Alex is watching next to Tikia.”

“Yes!”

“Noah! Let’s start sparring.”

“Hee hee hee, okay!”

Niña went to where Alex and Tikia were, and Noah met me in the center of the training center.

This time it was different from the usual sparring.

Dalian to show my skills to Alex, not to improve my skills.

However, there is something bland about just moving quickly.

“Noah.”

“Yes.”

“I’ll go a little fancy.”

“Glamorously?”

“Huh!”

I radiated magic power and covered my whole body with an aura.

“Ah, like that.”

“Wow! Ma, it’s wearing magic! I’ve seen it! That, Sister Gracia often wears magic like that when sparring with Sister Raifa!”

… It’s really sincere and I’m for directing, but I’m glad Alex enjoys it.

But it can’t end here.

Pajijijik!

Roaring!

I put electricity and fire on my left and right hands respectively.

“Eh, to use two types of magic at the same time…! You’re amazing, Rant-niisama!”

Alex’s pure admiration gave me a sense of pride.

“I’ll go, Noah!”

When I gave the signal, Noah immediately drew two daggers and stood up.

“Come!”

After that, Noah and I sparred for 10 minutes in the form of avoiding each other’s attacks and counterattacking.

Unlike usual, his hands were surrounded by fire and electricity, so Noah tried to evade and counterattacked me.

In the past, if I attacked with fire and electricity on me, Noah would have been in a hurry to evade, but like Niña, while sparring with Mr. Gracia and Mr. Raifa, his skills improved significantly, so Noah was able to cope with it with ease.

“Wow!”

When I used John to slightly look away, Alex was looking at us with twinkling eyes.

And…

“…”

Tikia slightly puffed out her cheeks as if she was dissatisfied.

I’ve seen that expression several times already.

It’s a cute expression when you want to get approval.

I stopped attacking and told Noah.

“Noah, let’s finish it like this.”

“Really? I can do more…”

Glance.

“Aha.”

Noah made fun of the dagger and claimed that he still had a lot of stamina, but when I glanced at Mr. Tikia, Noah immediately understood my meaning.

“Yeah! Dalian should be enough! Alex~ Did you enjoy it?”

“Yes! Both Noah’s sister and Rant’s brother were great!”

“Hee hee, it’s embarrassing to be praised like that~ By the way, Alex, can we show you something more fun?”

“Anything more fun?”

“Yes! Tikia! Show me Tikia’s magic with Rant! Alex will love it too. Alex, Tikia is really good at magic? I’m surprised that Graycia is also great.”

“Really? I really miss you!”

At Noah’s words, Alex’s eyes light up and tell him that he wants to see Mr. Tikia’s magic.

“That, really? Well… Alex is like my little brother… Alright! I’ll show you this Tikia sister’s great magic!”

Tikia immediately put the inflated ball in and stood in front of me with strong steps.

Whoops!

Then, Mr. Tikia started floating in the air using floating magic from the beginning.

“Go, it’s floating in the air! I’ve never seen magic like that before!”

Haha! This is one of the original magic I developed! Here we go, Rant!”

“Come anytime.”

“Twinkle Stars!”

Tikia-san moved around me and shot magic while using floating magic.

Not only Twinkle Stars, which pours out many small stars, but also Twinkle Buster, which blows up all at once.

I used the Twinkle Bomb to create an explosion.

In addition, the splendor was further increased by increasing the number of twinkling starlights more than usual.

Still, since it was inside the training center, I didn’t use Cosmo Impact, the most powerful of the original magics used by Tikia.

The more Tikia used magic, the more the training center was filled with twinkling starlight.

“Wow…!!!”

FYI, Alex watching us was smiling with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open, like a kid watching a magic show.

My time with Tikia was more like a magic show that made Tikia’s magic burst with fists and kicks, making it look more splendid than sparring.

As his mana his was about to run out, Mr. Tikia, as usual, climbed onto my shoulder and spread his hands wide.

“How is it!”

“Oh, it was so pretty! I’ve never seen magic like that! It was amazing!”

“Fufufufu! That’s right! You won’t see it anywhere! Because it’s my original magic!”

“Original magic! You mean you created a new magic? Tikia-sister is amazing!”

Haha!!!”

Tikia’s mood was at its peak.

Mr. Tikia, who is laughing excitedly, is really cute.

“Lant-hyung was cool too!”

“Thanks, Alex.”

“U-Hey, Rant-hyung! Gwa, if you don’t mind, can I have a sparring with Rant-hyung?”

“Alex with me?”

“Yes! Even though I’m still immature and my skills are terrible! Ha, but… I want to compete with Rant!”

Alex was a high-spirited kid.

I didn’t want to refuse such a wonderful request from Alex.

“Then shall we try for a while?”

“Yes!”

Alex jumped up and stood in front of me.

I put Tikia down first and then looked down at Alex.

Alex, who is 5 years old, and I have a huge height difference.

Alex is 40 cm shorter than Tikia.

Even if I tried sparring as it is now with Alex in that state, it would be difficult for me to sparring to suit Alex.

So that.

“Alex, can you wait a minute?”

“Yes!”

“Huh!

After a long time, I used a skill and returned to my childhood.

Of course, the clothes I originally wore became baggy as I got smaller, so while the smoke from my body enveloped the surroundings, I quickly made and fitted smaller clothes with my Mana Weapon and put the original clothes in my inventory.

Shaking his hand to blow the smoke away, I said to Alex, who was only about a head taller.

“Come on! Let’s do it, Alex!”

“Uh…? Huh? Uh uh uh!? Rae, rae, Rant hyung…?”

Alex is very surprised at how young I am.

Well, anyone who sees me for the first time will be surprised to see me growing so young.

“Yes! It’s Brother Rant, Alex!”

“Uh, uh, uh, what happened? Brother Rant is uh, young!”

“This is also one of the skills I can use.”

“That, that, that’s right…”

“Kyaaaaagh! Long time no see young Rant♡♡♡”

Niña ran over and picked me up and rubbed my cheeks.

“So cute~♡♡♡”

“Miss Niña, I have to fight against Alex now.”

“Ah, that’s right. I’m sorry, Rant…Tonight.”

Even if he didn’t say everything, he could understand what Nina wanted.

“Yes, I will.”

“Huh, I’ll be looking forward to it♡ Tikia, let’s stay apart.”

“Okay.”

When Ms. Niña put me down again and distanced herself from Ms. Tikia, I said to Alex.

“Then let’s begin, Alex. Does Alex use a sword?”

“Ah yes!”

At Alex’s waist was a small sword, fit for young Alex.

No matter how old he is, Alex is a prisoner, and he is the future head of the Locke family, so he felt strongly that he was receiving education for gifted children from a young age.

Sereung

Alex drew a knife from his waistband and took a stance.

As expected, the basic posture was the same as Mr. Gracia’s and her father’s.

“Now, thank you!”

“Now, attack anytime and I’ll take it all.”

“Yes!

Alex’s form itself was good.

But maybe because I was a little nervous, my movements were stiff.

“Alex, don’t be too nervous. Feel free to show me your skills.”

“Yes, yes! Yaaaaah!”

Again Alex swings the sword.

I wasn’t nervous this time, so the sword’s trajectory was clear.

Maybe it’s because she’s still 5 years old, but her sword strength her isn’t enough, and it’s like a cute rhythmic movement, but it was a movement that she clearly felt that she was using the same swordsmanship as Mr. Gracia and Galf’s father.

“Okay, you’re doing well. Then I’ll attack slowly this time, so try to avoid it.”

“Yes!?”

I stretched out my palm towards Alex.

“What?! Whoops!”

Dump!

I pushed his palm enough for Alex to avoid it, but Alex simply hit my palm and smacked his butt.

“Nuh, that was slow…”

Apparently, Alex knew how to hit at the speed I used to sparring with Noah, so he must have been scared.

Haha, of course, at Alex’s pace.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Can we do better next time?”

I asked Alex, who had fallen, as I reached out to him, and Alex grabbed my hand and got up to answer vigorously.

“Yes!”

“Okay, then try attacking again.”

“Yes! Brother Rant! Yay!”

And I started sparring with Alex again.

It was very admirable to see Alex diligently swinging his sword and dodging my attacks.
