Normal Morning...

It was around 6:00 am in the morning. David had already washed up and went outside for his morning training, reviewing the moves from when he trained with Bennett and the moves he used as well.

He was stretching, getting warmed up so he could practice in different stances and to just feel 'free'. He picked up a wooden sword from the cart on the edge of the courtyard, going into his usual training stance (Also battle stance).

A fury of slashes flew throughout the courtyard. Since he was only using his physical abilities, and he wasn't too strong, he could still train in the courtyard with Sarah's permission.

As the tutor was going to come pretty soon, he wrapped up his training by 8:10 am to wash up and eat breakfast.

Since it was the weekday today, the dishes were prepared by the servants for the next 5 days including this one. Today, they were eating an omelet with some mixed vegetables, with a side of bacon and some milk.

(A/N: Modern, yes... but ingredients are still rare. We're nobles, we eat those magic eggs and mana-infused bacon, etc.)

"Mnn! This is amazing! Thank you for the meal!" David praised.

"Thank you, young master." the chef bowed, obviously happy with the praise. Everyone else was used to the food here before he was hired, so finally being praised by an important person definitely gave him some motivation.

It was around 8:35 am when he was done eating breakfast. By that time, he saw Ben come out of the room with Sarah with a refreshed expression, while Sarah was slightly blushing.

'How in the hell did you recover enough to fuck your wife!?' David literally saw how he was on the brink of death like 14-15 hours ago.

"Mother, father." David greeted both of his parents.

"Good morning dear! Are you excited to see your tutor today?" Sarah smiled sweetly.

"... I... don't think many children would like to but... somewhat?" David replied honestly.

"Fair enough." Sarah replied.

"Well, we're off to work this week, we've been on break for three days now. See you this weekend!" Ben waved, making his robe appear on his body, same for Sarah.

"Bye! See you this weekend!" David waved, saying goodbye to them.

It was already around 8:55 when Bennett woke up. Going down in a hurry, he quickly wolfed his breakfast, as if he was almost late for something.

"What are you rushing for?" David asked.

"I... have... the... same... tutor... as you." He voiced out, pouting.

"Oh? Are you such a troublemaker that they had to arrange another tutor for you after all these years?" David teased.

"You!... Mn..." He whimpered while nodding.

"Heh... guess you left out some stuff when you were talking about your dark past... hehe." David continued to tease.

"Hey! It. Wasn't. That. Bad!" he emphasized every word.

"Alright, alright, I'm going to go get my bag, you go do your thing ight?" David walked upstairs to quickly grab his satchel, making sure everything was in order.

"Notebook, paper, pens, and brushes... yadiyadiya... yep, everything's here." he muttered to himself, walking downstairs.

By the time he sorted everything out and went downstairs, it was already 9:05. David saw how Bennett was somewhat dressed up, and looked at himself, still in a training suit.

Getting the memo, David quickly changed into a business casual blue blouse, light brown pants with a belt, and dark brown laceless shoes, showing his size 10 1/2 feet.

"How'd I look?" David spread his arms, showing his outfit.

"You look fine..." Bennett had a faint smile on his face. 'He's changed... for the better.'

There was still a ton of time, so David sat down on the couch, playing with his magic as his control was right up there. With the fact that it was maxed out, the lotus fire on his index finger was extremely small, but it burned steadily and brightly while also releasing any heat and mana.

Instead of just making some spells, David wanted to make some different shapes and sizes, or maybe just recreate somethings from the things he's read/watched in his past life.

In a miniature model scale, he made things like the Rasengan (Naruto), Mini-Kamehamehas, Destructo discs, etc.

David was killing some time till he had sensed that someone was coming into the manor. The aura was unfamiliar, not like the servants, as it carried a sense of arrogance in the inner layer of their aura.

'Seems like Mr. Cunningham is here.' David changed the lazy slouched position he had when he first sat on the couch.

Bennett saw how David had changed, so copying him, he also straightened up.

"Hello, I'm looking for David and Bennett Vale... are they here yet?" It wasn't a grand entrance, but it was fine. The door opened, revealing a...
