Training with Mom
David and John reached home and told the rest of the family about the good news.
"See I knew my brother can do what he sets his sights on" James said with a proud smile.
"So David have you thought about school?" Sally asked David.
"Mom I am fine with being homeschooled for a few more years. I already read everything from George's elementary school books and it feels easy and boring." David said while looking at his mom with puppy eyes.
"He is right mom. But I think he still needs to socialize with other kids his age" George said
"They behave so immaturely that I can't bear to even talk to them." David said as he found the kids in his vicinity too dumb to even start a conversation.
"By the way, I and your mom are thinking of shifting to Musutafu. James and George's school is near and David's dojo is just a minute away from there. We have shortlisted a few homes. What do you guys think?"
"No objections" George said while James and David nodded simultaneously.
"Great tomorrow we will go to take a look at the houses and then we'll drop David in his dojo in the afternoon."
"I let the dojo know" John said
After dinner, everyone returned back to their rooms except David and Sally. David wanted to level up his water control so that he can start learning blood control and Sally had promised to teach him after wrapping up household chores.
"Okay, David I am done with everything lets go to the training room. James is already there practicing lasers." Sally said while removing her apron.
The mother and son duo went downstairs where he saw James meditating. Sally was happy that all her kids were hardworking. The only problem she had was David not behaving like a child even though he was one. She felt that she cant teach her son anything as he never had any problem with studies or discipline. So the only thing she could do was teach him water control.
"Ohh mom now that your here I am so excited to see David doing new stuff. He only practices Air and Fire control so seeing him perform water control is new to me" James said in an excited tone.
"That's because Air and Fire are the elements I have registered. So if I ever have to use my quirk in public I need to fully depend on those two" David said
'First I used to think John and George were foresighted but David makes them look like toddlers in such situations' Sally sighed.
"Okay enough chit chat, now David today I will teach you how to make letters of water. It has no practical use but it will improve your water control efficiency by a ton" Sally said while creating basic Japanese letters with water. The letters had perfect corners which showed how perfect her control over the element was.

'Wow, a chance to level up twice. I can't let this chance slip' David thought while practicing.
David improved little by little and Sally kept giving him tips. In between, she would pass a finger through the letters to which David would pout.
"David no matter how many times I try to disrupt your letters they should gain their shape back"
"Yes mom I am trying but the concentration breaks when you do that" David said while glaring at her while she giggled.
After 45 mins David was able to perfectly control them and even bring them back to shape no matter how many times Sally disrupted it.

Water control level up!

"Well done my boy now turn them to Ice but remember the curved parts should be smooth as my skin and the sharp edges should be as sharp as a knife" Sally said while demonstrating her mastery over ice.

[Mission: Create sharp Ice blades]
[Reward: Ice control +1 level]

David continued to practice but even after an hour, he couldn't create edges as sharp as he wanted. He knew this wasn't going to be easy as even the system did not give him a time limit. James had already gone to sleep and Sally also decided that all David needed was time and he would perfect it.
"David don't stay up late. I am going to sleep" Sally said yawning as she went to sleep.
After half an hour more David managed to create ice blades sharp enough to cut wooden blocks.
***********************
Ice control level up!
Ice control [level 1]

David was about to go to sleep when he thought about giving the rock smashing fist a try. He had already practiced the basics so now he started performing the next movements stated in the manual. After half an hour his movements started to become more fluid and he was very satisfied with his progress. He assumed that at this rate he could master this technique in a few months. Most of the time will be consumed for tempering the blue aura which will work as the foundation of swordless.
'Today was a fruitful day. One of the best martial arts master on the planet as master and 3 level-ups on the same day' David thought as he laid on the bed and instantly went to sleep.
The next morning the entire Carter family went house-hunting. After exploring some houses they decided on a Villa which was close to James's school and the dojo. The house had a large ground with a pre-installed force field as the previous owner was a pro-hero. They decided to move to this villa in the next 2 days. After lunch, John dropped David at the dojo.
As Hina saw David enter she told him that her grandpa is already on the ground doing some preparations. After entering the ground he saw a lot of big rocks on one side of the ground and Hiroshi and his sons in their training outfit.
