Training with Father
 

 
“Today I’ll land a blow for sure Reubens!”
 
“Not yet! I won’t lose to Sir Reed!”
 
Training had gotten considerably more enjoyable after learning body enhancement from him. It still tires me out but the fatigue after moving around is less than before. Body enhancement continually drains mana so managing that becomes necessary. But it’s fun enough to make up for it. My stamina previously couldn’t keep up with Reubens’ movements but now I supplement that shortcoming through enhancement.
 
Even so the experience and reach advantages combined with difference in body weight and physique mean I … Read the rest

New Martial Arts

“Sir Reed, watch my movements closely now!!”  

“…Guh!”  

I frantically dodged his strikes with the wooden sword, reacting to his orders and sensing his every hand, foot, gaze. But dodging his sword opened me to kicks or attempts to grapple. I’m currently training under Reubens’ instruction on the estate training grounds. He’s holding back but concentrates on attacking openings at my limit of focus. Losing concentration risks serious injury amidst the intense battling. Such was our practice, almost like real combat.  

However, moving this much obviously tires me quickly, so Reubens times things to … Read the rest

In Reed’s Room

“Phew…I think I’ve taken the first step towards avoiding my future condemnation, so to speak.”  

Alone in my room, I muttered sentimentally while sitting at my desk.

Suddenly, I, [Reed Baldia], remembered my [past life memories]. You could call this a type of [reincarnator].

The names of the countries in this world, including the one I live in, the Magnolia Empire, and the name of its … Read the rest

Prologue – The Kingdom of Renalute’s Meeting

In the main keep of the castle in the country of Renalute ruled by dark elves, meetings have been held daily to discuss how to respond to the letter of invitation from the Empire. On this day as well, a meeting was being held, and an elder dark elf had a suspicious look on his face towards the king sitting on the throne.

“…. The Empire’s point is that we are in agreement. We are not breaking it. Also, this … Read the rest

Chapter 4 – Sister

In the midst of my usual research in the study, I noticed the door creaking open slightly. However, it wasn’t someone entering the room. Through the crack in the door, I caught sight of a pair of deep purple eyes, identical to mine, fixed on me intently. Did they believe they were being discreet? But our gazes met completely. Should I pretend not to notice? It feels as though I’m being heavily guarded.

“…Nii-chan, what are you doing?”

“I’m conducting some research… Would you like to join me, Meldy?”

Meldy-Baldia. She’s an adorable four-year-old girl with … Read the rest
