Chapter 41: Teaching The Basic

Year 19: Day 64: So Many Choices Part 2

(Ark's City: Training Building)

After thinking about it for a while; I have decided to just look at my little girls' talent. Maybe I could figure something for them after checking their talents toward whatever they are good at.

"Hey, Ragna! Are you going to help us train the kids or what?!" Yuri called out to me, drawing everyone else attention towards me.

"Sure. I was just thinking of what to train them after checking their talents." I walked over to the rest of my family as I did a simple scan for talents only.

"You can do that?" Raven asks in disbelief, because talent is a word people would use as a saying and not something that could be checked. If they were really checking, then it would be related to magical talents like in stories.

"Yup. I've already checked your talent too, along with everyone else but the kids." I replied as I use the [Archive] to bring up the copies of the kids' talents list.

Character Name: Kaori Partas Mercer

Talents: Increase 90% learning speed for [Wire Magic], [Rune Magic], [Healing Magic], and [Magic Manipulation]. Increase 85% learning speed for [Body Enhancement] related [Skills]. Increase 50% learning speed for [Sword] related [Skills].

Character Name: Chifuyu Ha Mercer

Talents: Increase 95% learning speed for [Sword] related [Skills]. Increase 70% learning speed for [Body Tempering] related [Skills].

Character Name: Erza Hwa Mercer

Talents: Increase 90% learning speed towards [Inventory] related [Skills]. Increase 60% learning speed for [Weapon] and [Defensive] related [Skills].

"Huh, out of the three. Chifuyu is the one with the highest talent towards the sword." I mumble to myself, which was heard by the kids. "Where Kaori herself is the one with the least talent in sword."

At the corner of my eye, I can see Kaori looking down in sadness. I place a hand on top of her head, causing her to look at me as I stroke it for a few seconds before stopping.

"When I meant, least talent in the sword. I meant in percentage. You have 50%, making you 50% better than the average. While your sister, Chifuyu, here have 95% and this is only towards learning the sword in talent. So long as you work hard, then even with no talent at all. You will reach the top. Talent means nothing if you don't work hard for it and require times. Talent just reduces the time for one to train." I said to Kaori, and to my other two Daughters as well and hope they knew right away, even with high talents. They still need to work hard.

I move the holographic screen for my Daughters to see each others' talents.

I could see the look on Kaori's face that she may have the least talent for the sword among her fellow sisters. But, she has more options compared to them and happy that she wasn't the weakest.

"Okay, I think I will teach the kids first on the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills], then everyone else could teach the kids what they feel the needs to teach them. Remember, it doesn't matter what is the kids' talents are. Give them anything you deem is worth teaching. Because that alone could be used to support their main fighting style." I said to everyone, as I took out the [Pillow Kid's Sword] for my little girls to use.

"Alright." Yuri shrugged her shoulders, not minding she can't teach her kid first. Plus, she already has begun her little girl's training in her family's [Basic Skills]; well, in theory, that is.

"Oh, that's good. I actually need to think about what I could teach them." Alice said to me, but mostly to herself.

"Doesn't matter to me." Raven let out a yawn before dragging Alice over to the side to use her lap as a pillow to nap on. Something Alice doesn't seem to mind at all when Raven easily drags her away and seem like a common thing between the two.

"I'm happy for my god to teach our little gifts." Ryun gives me a smile before walking away to join standing next to both Yuri and Esdeath.

I notice that Esdeath didn't say anything and just nod in my direction.

"Alright, The first thing you should know about the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills] are literally made of [Movement Techniques]. Once you reach a certain level, you can even use them without a sword. Turning them into normal [Movement Techniques], but with a sword. You'll be able to turn these normal simple [Movement Techniques] into powerful [Sword Techniques]." I take out one of the [Empire Common Swords] stored away for years now and some were already destroyed under multiple experiments when I had the [Sky Dragon Slayer Magic] at the time as a way to level it up.

"What most people don't know, this included my own Clan." I said with a hint of concern for the safety of my family with the type of people in the Mercer Clan. "That by mastering the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills] would give one the ability to create countless [Sword Techniques] with ease and even replicate other people's [Sword Techniques] as well by breaking down what movements they used in their [Sword Techniques]. Furthermore, the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills] can give one the ability to comprehend [Sword Intent]."

The look on my little girls' faces at the words [Sword Intent] must confuse them.

"[Sword Intent] are created when one reaches a higher level in using a sword. To the point of being able to use anything around them, even their own body like a sword. Furthermore, [Sword Intent] could increase the power of the sword further than it should, but be warned. If the sword you are using is too weak to hold your [Sword Intent]." I raise the [Empire Common Sword] and inject 1 [Sword Qi], covering in a thick red mist filled the air of sharpness before the sword broke down into fine dust.

"As you can see. I barely put in any [Sword Qi], before anyone ask. [Sword Qi] is required to use [Sword Intent] as a different source of energy. So, be aware of what you use with your [Sword Intent]. Check if the quality and quantity of your [Sword Intent] before using anything. If it is too weak, then in most cases you can just release the presence of a sword. While the power of your [Sword Intent] would be somewhat weak in power." I explained what the [Sword Intent] is and the [Sword Qi] as well.

"Honestly, I only reached the borderline at touching the [Sword Intent] very rarely by using the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills], but I had to force my way into gaining a [Sword Intent] and completely changed it from what it meant to be. So, I'm placing my hope one of you three to see if you can comprehend the [Sword Intent] behind the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills]." I slowly explained how the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills] I'm teaching may be a common thing back in the Mercer Clan.

However, the members in the Mercer Clan barely have any sword users, and even then, most of the [Sword Cultivation Methods] made by the Clan have many fatal side-effects while learning those [Sword Cultivation Methods] if not careful.

"Out of all the [Sword Cultivation Methods], I have learned. The [Basic Movements of Sword Skills] have the most potential out of all them. In fact, almost all of them originally came from the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills] after mastering some of the [Sword Forms] belong to it, to create the [Sword Cultivation Methods] I know." I explained.

"Now, there are 13 [Sword Forms] of the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills]. I have no clue if anyone back in our Clan has created a new [Sword Form] for it by the time I left, but it doesn't matter right now. I'm going to teach you three, the 13 [Sword Forms]. It depends on the three of you to see if you have the ability to learn and master all 13 [Sword Forms] or is suited to certain [Sword Forms] out of the rest." I said to Kaori, Chifuyu, and Erza.

All three look at me with interest as they continue to pay attention to each of my words. Even my wives on the sideline listened as they could learn from this too.

"Now, the first one is the [Stab Sword Form]. A thrusting motion into a target with the intention to wound or kill. This may be simple, but because of this. It can be used in many ways. It is depending on who using it and how it performs. Now watch." I pull out another [Empire Common Sword], then raise the sword in a position that I'm about to thrust it.

I started off with a simple thrust, that made anyone should be able to do it without training. However, to a trained person that fought countless battles, which included facing a sword user. One could tell that my simple thrust didn't even make a sound at all, even for those with an enhanced sense of hearing.

"Now, to show you what happens if I use this sword thrusts on a solid target." I said to everyone, as I snap my fingers with my free hand and use [Wisdom of The Sage] to create an earth wall in front of me.

"Watch." I did the same simple sword thrust, I like before and the earth wall exploded from the other side while the front looks fine, with just a small hole created by a sword.

"As you can see. I send out the raw power to the other side without causing too much damage in the front. The [Stab Sword Form] could be used to minimize the raw power to send it through a small area and release it at the other end fully. Dealing full damage while bypassing a defensive barrier of some kind." I explained to everyone that looks shocked and surprised at me.

"This is something I created while learning the [Stab Sword Form]. The [Sword Technique]'s name is Transmit." I'm a bit happy using this old move of mine as it helped me a lot of situations back in the war.

"You may come up with your own or use mine for a [Sword Technique] for the [Stab Sword Form], even the stance can be completely different if you desire so. Now, on to the next [Sword Form]." Pulling the sword out of the earth wall.

I didn't take any position before all of sudden. I've already thrust the sword forward once more, but for everyone around me. No one was able to see when it happens.

This caused some to widen their eyes in surprise. Because some of them didn't even blink and already I have thrust my sword as if I skipped the motion of thrusting and reached the end result instantly.

"This is called the [Flick Sword Form], which is the sudden, sharp movement that is purely on speed. As you can see, with my current speed. It looks instantly, but that is just because of the current me. If it was the me from years ago. Then, I would only use this [Flick Sword Form] as a way to draw my sword to attack or a way to attack before my enemy could be aware of my attack. In a way, the [Flick Sword Form] is where it allows the user to draw and attack as quickly as possible." I explained the [Flick Sword Form] while not having a [Sword Technique] for it. But, it is still deadly.

Another earth wall raises from the ground, as I show an example of the [Flick Sword Form] on a solid target.

Once again, I didn't take any sort of stance and my sword has already stabbed through the earth wall. Releasing my hold of the sword and look at my little girls, all of them have confused and shocked looks.

I can tell some of my wives are the same as well without having to look at their directions.

"As you can see. I didn't even cause any damage to the earth wall other than the area I pierced through. Of course, this is only possible for me. So if anyone else were to use it. Some may see some afterimage of the sword before the target was already hit. The [Flick Sword Form] is mainly used as a finisher if you haven't realized. Because the moment the speed is lower, then the [Flick Sword Form] will become weaker. But, that doesn't mean you it can't just be a normal attack. Of course, you need lots of stamina to continue using high-speed slashes and have precise accuracy. Otherwise, you are just wasting your energy." I explained the downside of using the [Flick Sword Form]. This includes the person to have high endurance and could dish out multiple fast sword attacks without losing any speed at a continuous pace.

"Nevertheless, the [Flick Sword Form] may be purely on speed, but speed means nothing if you can't aim correctly. So, no matter how fast you go. If you don't time it right, then don't bother with this [Sword Form], because it will just get you hurt or kill. You need to have good perceptive in timing and distance between the target and the length of your sword. This is the only way for you to truly use the [Flick Sword Form]." I warned my little girls about the [Flick Sword Form] with another example before continuing off with the next [Sword Form].

"Next, is the [Wave Sword Form]. In my opinion, this [Sword Form] would be among the other [Sword Forms] that is easy to learn and also the hardest one at the same time. Because the [Wave Sword Form] is to move an undulating motion while remaining fixed to one point. In other words, during a battle. You need to be very aware of your surrounding and your target. Because while learning this may be easy, but in a life and death battle, this [Wave Sword Form] will be your best [Sword Form] to use against a stronger or equal opponent. But, also your worse [Sword Form] to use on its own if your opponent is faster than you or have a way to deal with an area attack. Making the [Wave Sword Form] useless unless you are fast enough to escape or somehow block the area attack." I lecture my little girls about the [Wave Sword Form] while at the same time pulling out two [Empire Common Swords] and used one to juggle the other one in the air around me without looking at it.

"As you can see. I'm completely aware of my surroundings while still paying attention to you girls. So the sense of sight is not the only requirement in using the [Wave Sword Form]. You must use the rest of your senses as well. The [Wave Sword Form] is all about sensing your surroundings while at the same time focused on a single thing at the same time." I continue joggling the [Empire Common Sword] with the other sword like nothing before grabbing the one in the air with my free hand.

"Alright. This is where I will stop. I don't want to cause everyone to forget some part of the [Sword Forms] I just taught. So for now, I want all of you to perform the bare minimum that represents the three [Sword Forms] in some way I explained about them or related to their names, then we will resume with the rest of the 13 [Sword Forms]." I didn't want to overwhelm my Daughters by making them remember all 13 [Sword Forms] in a single moment.

"Any question?" I look at my little girls, as they held onto their [Pillow Kid's Sword] and almost made me want to hug them with how cute they look holding them.

"Uh, do we need to learn [Sword Intent]?" Kaori asks in a quiet voice, but anyone could tell she knew where her talent lies and seeing how even her own Father barely managed to touch the [Sword Intent] before ending up having to use a forceful method to gain it instead of a natural way.

"You don't have to, but I would like all three of you girls to learn the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills] at the least. Other than that, we will see how it goes in the future." I replied to my and Esdeath's Daughter's question.

"Hmm. I think I have something that would make you interested in Kaori." I said to Kaori, as I activate my [Left Arm of Usage] and linked it together with [Omega Sword Dao] under the effect of [Chain Combo Magic].

Then, countless threads made out of pure darkness appear everywhere, covered in a red mist.

With a hand gesture of my left hand; all the black threads shot down at the two broken earth walls.

"This is something I used from afar. Using these threads to contain my [Sword Intent] and each thread is like a sword, where I use the [Stab Sword Form] to stab the target in multiple directions." I said to Kaori, who has her jaw drop in disbelief. Even both CHifuyu and Erza follow her example.

Once I have shown this, I deactivate all my [Skills]. Also, this is a hint to my little girls, that I know their little secret, but much to my disappointment. It looks like Kaori didn't realize why I point her out after I use the [Ito Ito no Mi] together with the [Omega Sword Dao: Yin-Yang Sword Domain].

"As you can see. Even I continue to the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills] with my current fighting style. I would infuse the [Sword Forms] into my attacks." I carefully explain to the kids how the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills] can be used with other [Skills], even when one isn't using a sword.

"Anyway, just try your best to learn the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills]. Afterward, we will continue off for your own personal set of [Skills] once you mastered at least the [Movement Techniques] portion at least." I said to my little girls, where I can see they are determined to learn and master the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills] with the way their faces look.

I pause for a moment to think of a way to get them motivated to learn or at the least have memorized the [Basic Movements of Sword Skills].

"If I see some improvement that catches my attention. I'll give you girls something that will somewhat improve your fighting abilities." I glance at my wives which they noticed before looking back at my Daughters. "And if you three show great progress. I'll take the entire family to experience the amusement park."

The moment I finished; my little girls started talking to each in excitement. Not caring for their images in front of me. This show how much they love going to the amusement park via using the [Skill: Wonderland] to allow them to experience all the time of the amusement parks I could come up with.

Even my wives started talking to each other in excitement and look at the kids. Eager to help them improve as much as possible just so they could go to the amusement park as well. Even if it's technically an illusion, but I can make it feel completely real and even better than a real one.

"Okay, lesson time from your Father is over. Even if it's short. I need to do something." I glance at Esdeath, who notice my gaze instantly and smirk when she knew why I glance in her direction. "With one of your Mothers. So I will be right back." With that said I disappear from my Daughters' sights and appear next to Esdeath.

Pulling Esdeath into a one-armed hug and disappear again, but not before Ryun grab my other arm and was dragged along.

Leaving Yuri, Alice, and Raven, along with Repellista to watch over the kids.

(Ark's City)

"Oh? So it looks like you can't hold it any longer." Esdeath teases me, but I could see the sweat covering her forehead, to show how nervous she is right now, "I know how much sexual frustrated you are and I know for sure I won't even last that long with yours newly improve stats. Luckily, Ryun here and hope she enough to give me and herself the time to rest while you take on the other."

Ryun blush and knew that by the end. She won't be able to walk straight for days. But if only due to her god taking her and Esdeath like a hungry wild beast. It would be so worth it. And she can tell Esdeath share the same thoughts.

A week later*

Year 19: Day 71: The Differences

(Ark's City: Training Building)

"Okay, while all your Mothers are resting." I sweat drop and wonder if I had overdone it. Thinking about all my wives still in a somewhat coma with how much I went through without giving all enough time to rest. Yeah, maybe I should have more self-control before I end up hurting my wives.

"Yeah. Resting." Repellista said dryly on the sideline with her a wry smile seems to be her default facial expression for an entire week now.

I cough in my hand, blushing a little when my Daughters look at me like I'm sort of beast, not completely wrong but not right either.

"Anyway, it has been a week now. I would like to see how far you girls got in the three [Sword Forms] I showed a week ago." I said to my Daughters trying my best not to look like someone who only thinking about sex with my wives.

"Kaori, you're up first. Perform the following order of the [Sword Forms] I showed a week ago. [Stab Sword Form], then [Flick Sword Form] and finally [Wave Sword Form]." I said to Kaori, along with Chifuyu and Erza to let them know which [Sword Forms] they should perform before me.

"But, before you start. I just want to let everyone know. I'm not expecting you to master all three [Sword Forms] in a week. So, just show me your version of the [Sword Forms]. If there any mistakes, don't worry. I will spend some time with you to work on it. After all, I want my precious little girls to be able to protect yourselves long enough for either myself or one of your Mothers to come to your rescue in the time of danger." I give my Daughters a gentle smile, as even if they are [Reincarnators]. They are still my own flesh and blood.

'I do wonder how Setsuna is doing with me missing.' I thought about my little sister for a brief moment before just thinking she doing fine. After all, she is trained well and have better talent than me.

I make a hand gesture for Kaori to come forward, causing Kaori to walk up to me with a nervous look on her face as she held her [Pillow Kid's Sword] with two hands.

Kaori looks at me one more time before she took a deep breath and place her left foot slightly behind the right with the left heel slightly raised, both feet are parallel, the hips are almost straight forward, shoulders are kind of tense.

Then, Kaori tried her best to make sure the [Pillow Kid's Sword] is held with both hands in front of the waist, with the tip of the weapon pointed at the height of her own throat.

If I were to guess, this should be a Kendo basic stance for balance in attack and defense.

I didn't say anything, as I watch Kaori take another deep breath before moving forward with a sword thrust. Then, return back to the stance she took as her [Stab Sword Form].

I tilt my head, not really dismissing this stance since it technically also a [Stab Sword Form].

Kaori looks in my direction, to see my reaction for her [Stab Sword Form].

"Could do some work, but otherwise good." I nod at Kaori, while honestly, it was filled with many flaws, but that's what I expected from my 6 years old Daughter with the least talent in using a sword compared to her fellow half-sisters. "Now, the [Flick Sword Form]."

Kaori frowns a little, but did as I said. Now, instead of taking the same stance for her [Stab Sword Form]. Kaori took a stance for drawing out her sword, with her [Pillow Kid's Sword] being held in her left hand holding the hilt in reverse while having her right hand hovering above the handle.

With a small step forward as Kaori 'draw' her sword with her right hand and swing in a horizontal slash before falling forward due to using too much force, that disturbs her center of balance.

Quickly, Kaori got back up with a red face and tried to not look at her Father direction.

"Next, the [Wave Sword Form]." I said to Kaori, completely ignoring Kaori little accident.

"Um." Kaori looks very nervous and scared, causing me to raise an eyebrow at this.

"Something wrong, Kaori?" I walk up and kneel down, but even then, I was still a bit taller than my own Daughter's height. Nevertheless, this is better because this way Kaori could whisper to me, even when I could technically her whisper far away without much effort.

"I don't have any good idea on what to use as the [Wave Sword Form]." Kaori mumble, as tears slowly appear. Not before she felt a hand on her head, making Kaori look at her Father and saw him looking at her with a gentle smile.

"It's no problem. Honestly, I would be very surprised if you find something to be used as the [Wave Sword Form]. Don't worry, after this, I will help you come up with a stance for the [Wave Sword Form]." I said to Kaori, then made her stand next to Erza while Chifuyu came up as it is her turn.

"Okay, Chifuyu. Perform whenever you're ready." I said to Chifuyu as I've already taken a few steps back to my previous position and watch Chifuyu perform the [Stab Sword Form] and [Flick Sword Form]. Both are the same as Kaori, but she did it much smoother and has fewer flaws in her stances compared to Kaori.

Unlike Kaori, who didn't have a stance or think of using the sword in a way that would resemble the word: Wave in the [Wave Sword Form].

Chifuyu started swinging her [Pillow Kid's Sword] in a wild manner, but at the same time she would spin on her feet and always bring her down in a downward slash as if she attacking while slashing in other directions as if she parrying away or making her invisible opponent pushed away or risk getting attacked.

I'm impressed at this, because technically, Chifuyu had somehow merged the [Wave Sword Form], [Hack Sword Form] and the [Parry Sword Form] together, with the two latter [Sword Forms] without Chifuyu knowing about them.

"Interesting. I wonder what happens if she had 100% towards the sword." I mumble to myself, but my Daughters heard me.

This caused, Kaori to lower her head in shame. Even Erza could feel the shame rising up inside her.

After all, they knew their Father is a master of using the sword, in fact, they could say he could be like the God of Sword in their eyes. So, anything related to a sword would catch their Father more, something they knew how prideful a swordsman is in their past lives.

Noticing this, I stop Chifuyu, who breathing very heavily, showing that the [Wave Sword Form] took a lot more effort compared to the previous two [Sword Forms].

"Come now, you two. I said it before. Talent means nothing against the absolute. Talent is just another word for people who could learn things in the shortest time if they put some effort. It's mainly out of hard work that brings the best out of people." I tried to cheer Kaori and Erza up while Chifuyu on the side has mixed emotions about this.

"Maybe I should have told you two about the other talents other than being a sword user. Chifuyu here." I made a hand gesture to come over, which she did as I pull her to stand in front of me while facing her fellow half-sisters. "Only have two talents. While the two of you have more than two talents. Chifuyu here is more of a specialist in certain [Skills]."

This caused all three Daughters of mine to peak up, causing me to smile. Even Repellista on the sideline peak up on this and wanted to hear what else do my little girls have talent in.

"Chifuyu here has only two talents. The first we already know is learning anything related to a sword, with 95% above the averages. Her second talent is only 70% above the average with the talent of learning any [Skills] related to [Body Tempering]. As in she can train her physical body to be very strong. Something that would help her covering some of her weakness while using a sword as her main weapon." I explained to my little girls of what Chifuyu's two talents are.

"Erza, you have three talents." I said to Erza, who paying more focus onto my words to find out what else she be talented in. "Actually, Erza here doesn't have talent in just using a sword, but anything that could be used as a weapon. However, this is only 60% and this is tied with her other talent being able to learn any [Skills] related to defensive. While her best talent being 90% towards storage related [Skills]."

This caused Erza's eyes to widen as she realizes that she could recreate her [Requip Magic] or maybe even ask her Father to help her learn it and this is a good excuse to ask instead of figuring the best way for her to recreate it.

"Now, for you, Kaori." I look at Kaori, who look at me with a hopeful look on her face. "You actually have six talents." I said to the shocked Kaori, along with both Chifuyu and Erza.

"You may only have 50% related to the sword. However, this is the least talent you have among the six. The second highest is 85% toward any [Skills] related to [Body Enhancement]. Completely different from Chifuyu's [Body Tempering]. As her version is permanent while your is only temporary. Nevertheless, you can train your physical body to increase the effect of your [Body Enhancement] still. As for your highest talents? Well, your other four talents tie together in 90%. Being [Wire Magic], [Rune Magic], [Healing Magic], and [Magic Manipulation]." I revealed the shocking amount of talents Kaori possesses compared to her other half-sisters.

"As you can see, there no need to be ashamed of. You just have better talents other than using a sword." I pull all three of my Daughters into a group hug.

"But, that doesn't mean I won't give up on teaching all three of you girls on how to use a sword." I said to my Daughters after a couple of seconds passed by.

Omake: Personal Lessons And Comparing

Lesson on how to deal with a conman/retard and stupid people that's beyond reasonable.

Esdeath: Method

"Hey, Mom." Kaori called for her Mother's attention.

"Yes, honey?" Esdeath looks at her Daughter with a gentle smile.

"What do you do when you meet with unreasonable?" Kaori asks Mother, with Chifuyu and Erza next to her wondering the same thing about what Kaori's Mother would do.

"Well, first. We cut off a limb as a warning. If they decide to bring in reinforcement. Cripple them as well. If even more come. Torture them before their loved ones as proof why they should never mess with us." Esdeath smiles down at the children, not bother the horror look on their faces. After all, she has done exactly what she said to them before in the past. If anything, this is tame compared to what she usually does to common folks that get on her nerves.

Yuri: Method

"What I would do?" Yuri rubs her chin, as the kids asked her about what she would do to people that beyond reasonable and would try to cause trouble just for the smallest benefits.

"Yeah, we just curious." Chifuyu spoke out for the three, as they look at Chifuyu's Mother. Hoping she wouldn't be like Kaori's Mother.

"I guess I would smash their heads in." Yuri shrugged her shoulders, "If you're hoping for some peaceful methods. Better ask someone outside this family. All adults in this family are fighters in some way. So if you ask for something peaceful, then most chance you get something violence instead."

All the kids look at each other in dismay, then quickly rush off to ask the rest of the family adults.

Ryun: Method

"Peaceful method?" Ryun tilts her head, "I don't think I know any. For me, I would just find a way to blackmail the person and maybe threaten to kill that person's loved ones or kidnap them. This way I don't have to take so much effort to deal with them being so unreasonable."

Alice: Method

"Sorry, I mostly leave this kind of thing to Raven." Alice said to the kids as she takes another bite of her chicken drumstick. "By the way, there is food on the table if you're hungry."

Raven: Method

"Hm." Raven rub the back of her head as she let out a tired yawn, "I would usually just beat them up and send them off with a warning or two before just taking away all their valuable items as punishment for wasting my time."

Repellista: Method

"I just troll them until they do something very stupid and with the end result of them being either dead or losing everything they own." Repellista answered, "Actually, that's mostly toward online troller. For people outside of online that cause me trouble. I would sometimes just hire an assassin to deal with them."

Ragna: Method

"That depends on the person themselves." Ragna said to his kids, where they look at him with dull eyes.

"What do you mean, depend on the person?" Erza asks with curiosity in her voice and a hint of hope that it doesn't involve blackmailing, kidnapping, torture, killing, hiring others to kill.

Ragna put away his sword and look down at his kids. "For me, there are multiple types of these kinds of people. Most common are those with powerful backing and powerful themselves. Take your Mother, Esdeath, for example. She would gladly torture innocent people if they so much as to cause her any annoyance."

This fact alone caused the kids to pale and wonder what kind of family they were born into.

"Now, don't give me that look. In fact, people like Esdeath are very common in certain universes in many numbers. Not to mention, even in a non-supernatural universe would have people like Esdeath by having powerful backgrounds via their own family. Which mean that the laws are on their side due to their family's power." Ragna explained, causing the kids to look like their hope are being destroyed slowly and painfully.

"As to how I deal with Esdeath." Ragna rubs his chin, "Let's just say. As long I distract her long enough. She will either forget about it or no longer feel like dealing with it."

"What happens if it's someone not related to our family?" Erza asks in a weak and quiet voice.

"Hmm. Honestly, I have too many methods to use. But, if I would use the first thing? I guess releasing my killing intent onto the person to scare them silly and just leave it to fate if the person would leave peacefully or not." Ragna gives his kids a wry smile, knowing how the kids were hoping for one decent adult that have some kind of peaceful methods.

-Children's POV-

"Okay, I think we all know, that we have absolutely zero chance of ever changing the adults' minds of this family to be the good guys. If anything, they be in between good and evil at best." Kaori said in a hollow voice, after listening to all the adults in this family on how to deal with people that just plain unreasonable.

"I told you before. There was no way anyone in this family before we came in wouldn't hesitate in killing another life like nothing." Chifuyu knew right away what the type of family she was reborn into.

"We can't just give up. I'm sure as we grow up, we can try our best to change the rest of our family's way of not killing another being's life." Erza clearly knew that killing other beings is wrong and shouldn't be allowed.

Chifuyu snort in disdain, "Oh, stop it Erza. No matter what universes we may be in. There will be someone that would kill others for many reasons. Killing is just part of life, no matter how you spin things." Chifuyu shook her head, knowing that if she tried anything. She would be the one that knows absolutely sure that death is mercy while she knows some of the adults have their own methods that would make her wish for a quick death, even then, she has this feeling that death is just the beginning.

Kaori let out a sad sigh, "Erza. I think it is best we just grow up until we learn enough under our family's teaching. Then, we just make up some reasons to leave this family. Don't even think about fighting them, because that just hell waiting for you. Actually, depending on what universes we may be in. Hell in that universe would be heaven itself compared to what the adults in this messed up family would do."

Erza frown at her two half-sisters and wonder if she even has the courage to face her new family in the first place. She knows the others are right, but this just left a bitterness in her mouth.
