Chapter 26: Twins

1

Later in the night while having dinner I explained how I helped adventurer and earned gold.

I thought they wouldn't believe me but they did. It seemed that my father had already met and talked with the adventurer whom I helped in the woods.

They questioned me how I am going to spend those golds. I simply told them that I was either going to use those golds to buy books and other stuff or just do nothing with it.

Of course I thought of them asking me to give them those golds in order to put them in safe place however they didn't.

Plus I'm glad they didn't question me how I cut the monster's skin with my wooden sword.

Afterwards I went back to my room.

I felt like I'm forgetting something when I went to bed.

"What am I forgetting?, what am I forgetting?…"

"Oh, I planned to write a letter to my Master but I don't have any materials for that. I need something to write and something to write on. Simply, I need pen and paper."

"Wait, I don't even know where my Master is. And how can someone deliver letter without knowing her address, right?"

Yeah, without address the letter is useless.

"Her name only would be not enough. I've to know her whereabouts otherwise the letter is futile since it'll not get delivered to where it is fated."

I was sitting in my small chair facing the table where I study.

"What should I do?"

I wondered as I flipped the book.

Maybe I can ask my father to find her whereabouts and tell him I want to write her letter telling her how much I've improved and how much I miss her.

Of course I'm going to express my love to her through letters but, that… I'm not going to let my father or mother know.

But it's okay if they find out about it. I love her and it's true.

So tomorrow, I'm going to request my father to find her address plus buy writing materials for letters using the gold I earned.

Writing paper and pen, huh? I wonder how their appearance would be like. Similar to my previous world? Maybe. The chalk I used while learning or writing something can be created by magic and it's similar to my previous world.

Pen would be similar also plus the paper is already similar. Oh, well…, it's not hundred percent similar. They just look alike. A little thin, flat and somewhat white in color.

This book is really big and bulky since the paper isn't thin and small unlike my past world's papers or books.

I talked to myself as I observed and read the book.

I always everyday read book before going to bed since I wanted to gain as much as knowledge as possible due to the fact that kid learns faster than adult.

After I became fluent in beast language I'm gonna start learning angel language.

I actually am not going to be that fluent but fluent enough to understand, communicate or read and write in that language.

After a while reading the book I headed to bed.

The next day.

While having meal in the morning I told him about the request and my dad accepted it but in one condition.

He didn't tell me about the condition back then.

Now we are battling in the yard.

I've to cut his sword with mine while practicing…, that's his condition.

Since he already met and talked to the adventure I had helped it's obvious of him to know if what he heard about me was really true. There's no help in hiding.

Like always I found my father constantly attacking me giving me no chance to attack him… not even once and I found myself blocking or evading his attacks.

"You're still a long way to go, ."

He began as he attacked.

"Yes…, I can only block. At least let me give a single chance to attack you!"

I replied as I blocked his attack.

"No!, you've to found out how to penetrate my defense by yourself."

He spoke as I made my distance from him.

"Okay, so here I come!"

I focused on my breathing and concentrate my mana letting it flow throughout my body to my arms without letting it flow on my sword since I wanted to examine something.

As I ran to attack him I persistently breath in and breath out lot of air trying to get as much as oxygen from the air for my body since I've to strengthen my grip otherwise my sword might get slip out of my hand and also I wanted to land a powerful blow on his sword in order to cut it.

As I reached him I found my gripping on my sword tightening.

I struck and he blocked it completely but this time I didn't feel the opposite force.

"Oh…, great this time you didn't loose your sword and your blow is partially heavier then before. That's good but you can't defeat me."

"….Huh!…"

"You're all open."

"…Ouch!"

Of course I can't defeat you.

He hit me with his sword after deflecting my sword and continued hitting me.

Even if I managed to built my defense, he was still penetrating through my defense as a result hitting me time to time.

His attacks were starting to get hard to dodge and heavy.

"…Aren't you going to cut my sword?"

He mocked.

"…"

I went through the same process like before however this time I let my mana flow to my sword since one and only way to end this training was to satisfy him by fulfilling his condition.

I attacked him, as always he blocked but my sword cut it. I stopped the flow of mana right after cutting it.

My dad found himself unarmed and his sword was cut in a half by my sword.

"You genuinely cut my sword. I'm overwhelmed. I didn't even teach you the technique you just used. Did you just learn it by yourself? Oh I guess you do have the book. You must had learnt it from it, right?"

"Yeah!"

What? It's a already discovered technique. I don't believe it. I gotta check out the swordsmanship book later.

"I'll now leave to fulfill your request. No, I don't need your money. You just keep it to yourself. Finding your teacher's address will be pain in the ass but I promise you I'll definitely locate it before she sends you letter."

He said as he petted my head.

"Thank you, dad. Huh, wait is Master gonna write me a letter?"

"Who knows, maybe it's already traveling in order to get to you."

As he said that he forwarded to the house.

I never thought of her writing me a letter.

I can't wait to read her letter.

I got thrilled.

I wonder what she felt while writing me a letter.

It's been nearly six month since the day she left. She must have gotten pretty far.

I wonder when I'll meet with her again. I hope her letter arrives today.

I headed to my room and started looking for the swordsmanship book.

I found it and started flipping through pages searching for the technique I used back then.

"This is the book I had only read a little bit. I guess I've to start reading this book also."

Okay, I found it. The technique is called cutting sword technique.

I read about the technique and it seemed that the technique described here and the technique I used against my father was completely different.

The technique this book classify is executed differently and requires only strength and focus unlike the one I used. It requires mana, a lot mana and concentration.

I'm surprised my father actually believed that I used sword cutting technique but in reality I used the technique I discovered myself while experimenting with mana.

I guess I've to do research on mana more often and also on magic.

Like always I notified my mom about me going outside and proceeded outside but surprise, my friend was coming through the gate of the house.

"Oh, did you come to get me?"

"Yeah."

She blushed.

Ah, so cute.

"Then let's go."

"Yeah."

We ran to our usual place.

I was stopping randomly as to catch my breath but she never discontinued, she directly got there without stopping.

"You really run fast, don't you?"

I talked as I was catching my breath.

"Yes, I like running."

"Oh, let me catch my breath."

I laid down on my back and there's my friend standing and looking at me.

Ah, look at her looking me with her pretty eyes with excitement. She's cute and beautiful.

Her face protecting me from the sunlight, her cuteness and beauty soothing my heart, it felt like as if suddenly all chemical or hormones just got released.

"Um…, is there something on my face?"

"No, no there's nothing. I was just appreciating your beauty."

Oh she's blushing, so cute!

"So what should we do today?"

As I said that I sit on the grassy ground at the edge of the river and glared at the scenery it provided and began thinking about what to do.

"Let's practice magic like yesterday!"

She excitedly said it.

"Hm, okay."

She is thrilled about it, perhaps she wants to show me something.
