Albion Family Dining Table

The morning after I made my decision.

　I sighed secretly as I sat down at the dining table.

　There was my father, Gad Albion, his first wife, Gila, and my twin brothers, Edward (the second son) and Sidward (the third son).

Good morning."

　I smiled affectionately and bailed lightly.

... Hmmm, Resto?"

　Gado mutters my name in a low voice.

　Gila, on the other hand, gave me a cold look.

　The only ones not here are the eldest son, who lives in a dormitory at the Royal Academy, and his younger sister, who has not yet undergone the ritual.

　I finished the ceremony a few days ago, and I am now a member of this dining table. ... But to be honest, this heavy atmosphere is unbearable.

　The chef brought the meal and it was only a few minutes before we began to eat.

By the way, Edward, Sidward. What are you guys planning to do today?

　Gado asked the twins first.

Of course, we are going to train with swords," Gad asked the twins.

I'm going to do some real sword fighting.

　Edward and Sidward answered immediately and proudly.

　The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you're doing.

Then ... rest, what about you?"

　The first to respond to that question was not me, but my two brothers.

Father, it's useless to ask him.

Yes, it's useless. Yes, my brother was not blessed with the gift of the sword, after all.

　The twins grinned and sneered at each other.

　The twins are grinning and sneering at each other, and even Ziela is snickering.

The two are right. I guess it's just that he was a concubine's son after all.

　--It was a deliberate stunt.

　My sister and I are the children of the second wife, who is now deceased.

(Once again, you realize how bad the environment Resto was in was. ...)

　At any rate, I have no obligation to answer seriously to these people.

"..., I was thinking of going for a walk."

A walk?　That's great!　Why don't you just go with a dog you see around the place and take it with you?

　Edward laughs out loud as if making fun of me.

　But I didn't care about their reaction, my mind was already occupied with what I was going to do.

　I'm just making plans to steadily enhance my skills with my knowledge of the game. I don't have time for this kind of conversation.

Now then, if you'll excuse me."

　I quickly finish my meal without even tasting what I'm about to eat.

　I was the first to get up and leave the dining table, heading straight for the small training hall tucked away in a corner of the mansion.

　◇◆◇

...

　I took a deep breath as I stepped into the empty training hall.

　I'm not going to be disturbed by anyone here. I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to spend for myself.

　The most important thing to remember is that you can find a lot of different types of products and services available on the market today.

But first,..., let's go over the characteristics of this skill one more time.

　The first premise is that you can only use Tame on demons that you yourself have defeated.

So, the first thing to do is to train.

　The important thing is the specifics of the training.

　In the game world, all ability values were managed by status.

　But this is reality. I did some research, but unfortunately, it was not possible to refer to the status as in the game.

However, there must be a lot of ways to do it.

　I remembered how to raise abilities in "Symphonia of Swords and Sorcery.

　One is to level up by defeating demons and gaining experience.

　This is the most popular method and is easy to imagine.

The first is the concept of increasing your abilities by defeating demons in this world as well, and the system itself is probably alive and well. However, ...

　If there is a problem, it is how to defeat the demons in the first place ....

　The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your car is to make sure that it is not a problem for you.

　First of all, you need to be strong enough to defeat demons on your own.

　I already had an idea of how to do that.

　That is another way to increase your status in the game - a.k.a. "Midnight Training".

　In "Symphonia of Swords and Sorcery," an event always occurs at the end of the day: midnight training.

　The content of this system is to choose one of "Muscle Training," "Running," "Full Speed Run," "Magic Refinement," or "Prayer" to increase the corresponding parameters of "Muscle Strength," "Stamina," "Speed," "Magic," or "Luck.

　As the saying goes, "A little dust makes a big pile," and this was quite an effective method of strengthening the body.

　Above all, "Midnight Training" had one big advantage.

With this method, you don't have to defeat demons to grow.

　That's right.

　It doesn't matter if your current abilities are inferior, "Midnight Training" will not affect you at all.

　It is expected to increase the status of the player.

　There was also a big reason why I chose this method.

　In games, there was a limit of one "Midnight Workout" per day, but now it's not a game, it's reality. There was no need to follow such rules.

If I do all the training every day, I should be able to get stronger at a very fast pace. ...!

　I couldn't help but gulp at the confident feeling I had.

　I would make the most of my knowledge of the game and gain a level of power that no one else could match.

　To achieve this, steady accumulation is essential.

　I'm going to steadily strengthen this body without neglecting my daily training.

"Okay, once that's decided,... I'll start training right away, starting today!"
