Chapter 5: Natural Born Swordsman

(Arthur: POV)

"Agh!!! Paul your a beast!!!"

"Only for you my darling! Only for you!!"

Doing my best to tune out the cries of Paul and Zenith, and the sounds of their bed creaking, as they went for their fourth round of sex of the night I focused all my attention on the magic tome I had set up to read at the head of my bed.

As for Rudeus he is working on his earth magic and doll creation.

Both skills that will serve him well in the future.

Several weeks have passed since Roxy arrived her and started instructing the two of us in magic. But it's not just that. Roxy has also taught Rudeus and I about several other subjects including this worlds numerous languages, its races, and its geography. All of which in a way that was easy and fun enough for children mine and my brother's age to understand. Even if we we aren't normal children.

This just cemented the fact in my mind that Roxy is a natural-born teacher.

Finished reading the page in front of me I flipped to a new one in the magic tome, only to hear the bedroom door quickly shut after I did.

Turning around I saw Rudeus standing there, a small fireball in his left hand and a surprised expression on his face.

'Ah, this must be the night where he saw Roxy masturbating to Paul and Zenith.' I thought.

Which is not that strange.

I mean despite how she looks Roxy is almost 50. She's a grown woman who doesn't have a lover of her own to help her release all that pent-up sexual tension. And with pornography not existing in this world, and considering how Paul and Zenith don't ever seem to show the slightest bit of concern for the levels of their voices during sex despite there being other people in the house, it's no wonder our teacher found herself in that position.

What's more Roxy's only been here a couple of weeks.

Meanwhile Lilia, who is in a similar position, has been here for years.

If I were in her position listening to that every single night, with no real outlet for my own desires, then its easy to see how and why she seduced Paul.

Though that doesn't make it right.

But Paul isn't blameless either.

It really makes me wonder why Zenith decided to marry a guy like me.

Well, to each their own I suppose.

"Hey Rudeus, what's the matter?" I asked him.

"Oh, noting brother." He replied.

"Really?" I questioned. Deciding to have a little fun. "That look on your face says otherwise. Did something in the hallway frighten you? Want me to take a look?"

"No, that's alright. Really, I'm fine." Rudeus quickly replied.

"Are you sure? Since I really don't mind going out checking the hallway for you." I spoke.

"I'm sure. Anyway, enough chitchat we should get to bed. We don't want to be tired for father's lesson tomorrow." Rudeus spoke. Quickly moving over to his bed and climbing into it.

While referring to the fact Paul is finally going to start me and Rudeus swordsmanship starting tomorrow.

'Finally. After all these years I'll finally be able to hold a sword in my hands.' I thought.

I hope it will be as wonderful as I have imagined.

Deciding I had messed with Rudeus enough for tonight I agreed with his words, closed up the magic tome, set it aside, and then worked to head off to dreamland.

"Paull!!!!!"

"Zennitthhh!!!"

While hoping that one day Paul and Zenith would take their noise levels during sex, and how it affects the people around them, into consideration.

(3rd Person: POV)

The following day ,in the front yard of their home, Arthur and Rudeus found themselves standing side-by-side.

Each of them with wooden swords in one of their hands.

Standing in front of them Paul had a wooden sword gripped tightly in both of his hands, demonstrating to the twins some basic sword techniques of the Sword God Style.

A few more minutes passed before Paul stopped his demonstration.

Once he did so he turned his attention to both his sons. "Alright Rudy, Art, did you see that?" Paul asked his sons. Using the nicknames the family had given them.

"Yes, we sure did father." Rudeus replied.

"We did." Arthur added. "But, I had a bit of trouble understanding your demonstration. Do you mind explaining the techniques you just performed in a bit more detail."

"Well I mean. First you do woosh, and then bam. Added in a hop, and then a powerful slash." Paul spoke. A smile on his face. "Understand now Art?" He asked.

Only for Arthur to give Paul a flat look after he did.

'So, it's just as I thought. Paul sucks at teaching.' Arthur thought.

Based on what little he saw of Paul teaching Rudeus in the anime, and what Arthur had observed with his own eyes over the years pertaining to Paul and his swordsmanship, he had guessed that Paul was the type that naturally learned and picked up on things just from seeing them.

A visual learning, who obviously has a talent for the sword.

Since Paul is advanced rank in all three of the worlds sword styles.

A feat not many can boast.

But just because Paul has a talent for the sword it does not make him good at teaching the sword.

The man can't explain the technical details of swordsmanship to to other people. So those who are average with the sword would never be able to learn it from him.

Which explains to Arthur how Rudeus never really got past the elementary rank of swordsmanship. Well sure, he became specialized in magic, but the point still stands. If Rudeus had a more technical teacher in regards to swordsmanship from the beginning he might've as least made it to the intermediate or advanced rank in the Sword God Style.

'Maybe I can help Rudeus achieve that.' Arthur thought.

While still giving Paul a flat look.

Seeing his son giving him such a look Paul's body was pierced by invisible large red arrows. Meanwhile Rudeus couldn't help but chuckle at his younger brother's antics.

"Hey Art, you okay?" Paul asked his son. Putting a strained smile on his face.

"Yes father, I'm just fine." Arthur replied. Dropping the flat look from his face.

For he felt he had made Paul sweat enough for one day.

"Oh, that's good." Paul replied. "So then, now that I've shown you the techniques why don't you two show your dad what you've got." He spoke. Putting a grin on his face.

"Yes father." Rudeus replied.

"Sure thing." Arthur spoke.

Once the two did those they started working to copy the sword techniques Paul had just demonstrated to them.

Watching his sons do this Paul soon became shocked.

Not by Rudeus though, who was struggling to perform the sword techniques Paul had shown him.

No, Paul was surprised by Arthur.

For without even realizing it himself Arthur was performing the sword techniques Paul had just demonstrated to him in almost a completely flawless manner.

Seeing this, and as a man who had traveled the world and had been an adventurer for numerous years, Paul could instantly tell his son Arthur was a natural born swordsman.

This revelation certainly brought a smile to Paul's face.

Not knowing any of this yet Arthur continued swinging the sword in his hands and performing sword techniques Paul had just shown him.

Feeling a serene peace as he did.

Which told Arthur his character template as Arthur Pendragon had granted him a talent for the sword after all.

Bringing a smile to his face.
