12 Chapter 11: An old mans rage

Awakening from slumber the events in Rado my group free falling, the fight with the Sanctuary Guardians, me drawing cursed 'Sword of Destiny' from a wyverns skull and slaughtering the remaining Sanctuary Knight with it seem to dreamlike at best.

Opening my eyes I look into the inquisitive eyes of grandpa Q judging me staying silent.

''Grandpa. Let me explain, it...'' I start to explain but I am not-verbally shut down by Q just raising his left hand effectively shutting me up.

''I would have never believed to be so much disappointed by you my only granddaughter that I always cared for. Hell, I saved you from your mother's wrath of you not being a pure elve. Ow bloody buttocks I war more involved in your upbringing than that of my own sons, your fathers! In the first half year of your live, I allowed my self to be the only person caring for you with the exception of your Aunti Haily who changed your diapers...'' I hear all the pined up frustration, pain, and misery in his voice slashing at my heart with guilt.

''... me pressing that switch immediately after discovering it was from of me.'' I try to apologize to Q to only find more disappointed in his oh so gentle eyes.

''... seeing you not even being aware of your wrongs shames me deeply. Looks like I'm an utter failure as a lover, husband, father, and grandfather. I always hoped me raising you was the redeeming quality of my life... You pushing some switch and ending up in undiscovered a region of Radon is not the even one of the wrongs I see looking at you... I guess I'm not fit to raise any child... maybe Astrid and Arnold will raise you into a proper lady...'' Q confesses and I see him falling into a lifelong depression.

''How can you say that!!! If anybody is fit to raise a child than it is you. The wrongs I make are the ones I make despite your perfect teachings.'' I tell him honestly praying. -Please be angry. Rage at me I can endure all but you being depressed because of me.-

''Say what... I let you guess if you can figure out what wrongs you have done, I believe that there weren't created by me raising you. If you guess correctly I will give you a punishment instead of letting others raise you. What do you say?'' Grandpa Q asks me and I feel tricked into a trap by the old man.

''This little one will be in your care,'' I tell him lowering my head in shame and guilt.

''Wonderful. So here is my first clue for your first wrong. Better listen I will only tell it to you one time... Here it comes... WHAT DO YOU THINK I DISCOVERED WHEN CASTING AN INTERMEDIATE STATUS SPELL ON YOU?'' He asks me pronouncing every word of his clue/question nearly so long that I can only hear him say single letters.

-Shitt. What does he mean by that? Only three things come to mind that a status spell might discover. There is me having awakened my class awaken four years too early, me having completed cultivating 'Deaths Body Technique' and last but not least my cheat likeability 'Astral Movement'... what has he discovered more than one?.. - I mentally panic making a thoughtful expression and try to calm my nerves.

-Ok. Let's tackle this puzzle from the rational side of things. First of my 'Astral Movement' it's a godly ability deeply ingrained in the fabric of the universe and it's blueprint. No way can an intermediate status spell discover that one. Hell, even Death didn't notice that one and he is a manifestation of a Concept...

Good next one me having completed the 'Death Body Technique'. I have completed it before being one year old and grandpa didn't notice it when my hair turned ashen grey. Also, Death only noticed the technique because him cultivating the same one. It is safe to say that couldn't be the answer either...

And at last me awakening my class four years earlier. Having used my class powers to remove the 'Sword of Destiny' from that wyern skull and using it's partly integrated power to lay that Sanctuary Knight could make me having already a class chosen to be shown even in a regular basic status spell. Very very likely...

Wait a minute... if I have a class shown which one is it? 'Witcher' or 'Death Knight'?...- I think has come to a possible answer but being even more confused.

-... It has to be the 'Death Knight'. I mean which class else has that kind of strength or affinity for cursed weapons like the 'Sword of Destiny' to pull them out of a millennial old wyern skull.-

''I think I know what you mean grandpa Q...'' I say letting my seriousness show on my face, voice, and manner.

With an approving nod from Q, I continue to speak. ''... I really sorry for not telling you that I have awakened my class in the last days. I'm a 'Death Knight' aren't I?'' I say, whispering to him the last part regarding me being a half dead.

''Yes, yes indeed your fist wrong was it to not telling me on your birthday that you were feeling the awakening pain. It is normal for people that have an extraordinary class like the one of a 'Witcher' to awakening their class earlier than the other classes. You just being 12 only shows your greater potential in being a 'Witcher' compared to others of your class...'' I hear him happily say nearly not hearing him disproving my statement of being a 'Death Knight'.

-WTF?! It can only be 'Death Knight'...- I tell myself over and over again more and more considering. -... Well, it also could be 'Witcher' I mean my eyes burned and my reflexes were enhanced when fighting.-

''... It is great to see that you have inherited your father's talent for magic and not you're a cursed mother's physical talent. You have to remember your father's talent is 100% inherited from me. His mother was classless, making me 50% the cause of you having an extraordinary magic class like the 'Witcher'.'' I hear him happily praising himself.

''Seeing you so happy you might as well tell me about my other wrongs!'' I tell him interrupting the second round of Qs self-praising.

''Your other wrongs?! Oh? Yes, yes your other wrongs. The is the second is that you endangered not only yourself but others, too by pushing that button. The third is you not staying with Teacher Astrid...''

-You god damm hypocrite. Isn't that exactly the thing I apologized at the beginning?!- I curse the man opposite me internally while externally listening to his every word like the perfect granddaughter that I am.

''... These three wrongs combined force me to punish you. Firstly punishment is me confiscate that sword you found in the undiscovered region and secondly...'' He tells me with a foxy smile handing me a folded paper. Opening paper and reading the contents of it:

Timetable pre-entry class Ms. Astrid:

Student: Sif

+Mandatory:

-Geography (Mr. Quentin): East and West connected through the South

-Politics (Mr. Quentin): Intercontinental relations

+Voluntarily:

-Magic (Mr. Veras): Basic Magic System

-Forging (Mr. Bearson): The Hammer and I

-Alchemy (Ms. Astrid): Thinks not to eat

- Physical Education (Mr. Arnold): Basic Bodyforging

-Fuck you old man! No better: Fuck the duck old man! Is this your old man's rage?! Not only do you steal my sword, you even give me that inhuman timetable, signing me up for three times the workload of another pre-entry class student. You just wait, when you get old and dependent on me and my future wife... we will see who will have the last laugh!!- I think feeling betrayed by the old man, cursing his family for three generations. -Wait a minute?! Stop?! Aren't I Grandpa Qs third generation?!-
