6 – Boyhood ~Let’s prepare for training~

One year after the teacher left.

When he finally turned 8, the family started preparing for training.

At the age of only 8, it wasn’t without opposition, but it seemed that the argument that talent should be trained early, as talent is talent, was accepted.

However, just because early training was decided did not mean starting training right away.

Choose a training ground to use for training

Select an instructor to teach you martial arts

While classifying the martial arts to be taught,

Establish barriers and even take safety measures.

As the subject of training was the owner of Soga, it was planned to teach on a 1:1 basis, so the family made every effort, including overturning a site for the best education.

As it is a world with auras and magic, the construction was carried out at a very fast pace, and the selection of instructors was also said to have been fierce competition with masters belonging to families supporting each other.

When I first saw it, I wondered what they were doing, but after seeing the completed training ground, my thoughts completely changed.

Floors and walls made of regi-iron, a metal that can be restored by itself even if it is broken.

A wooden box displaying a variety of weapons to suit any class.

To the abundant nature guide with magical and shamanic methods added so that it can respond to internal training.

Feeling refreshed as if I had entered the forest, I opened my mouth at the sight of a training ground with a different scale.

I wanted to move my body as soon as I checked the training ground, but I endured it with superhuman patience and left the training ground behind and returned to the mansion.

And today, the day before training.

With a dedicated training ground in place, I was spending quality time with my family while using the infinite aura practice method that I had finally mastered.

A father who continues his meal in silence, a mother who calms the atmosphere by talking about trivial daily things, and a 4-year-old sister who is filming a mukbang with seasoning on her lips.

My family, consisting of four members, was quite friendly, not befitting the name of a prestigious family.

Of course, my father is a bit blunt, but my mother is the one who cares about me a lot.

On the contrary, there were a lot of times when I felt uncomfortable because there was too much attention.

‘Though it’s fortunate that he’s paying attention to his little brother now.’

Originally, meals with the family were rarely held thanks to the busy father, but today, at the strong request of the mother, they gathered together like this.

The reason was also embarrassing──

‘When the training ground is built, I’m sure I’ll be locked up…….’

How do you know me that well?

I was planning to live there for a while once the training ground was completed, but somehow my mother got ahead of her and ordered me to stay out.

I don’t think it’s a night out, even if it’s a training ground, since it’s within the mansion’s premises anyway, but you’re telling me to come back and sleep…….

‘Can I just stay up all night training?’

Yeah, that’s a good idea.

As I continued to eat militantly, thinking about tomorrow’s training, my father suddenly started talking to me.

“Tomorrow is training day.”

“Well…Yes.”

“I’ll see you first, so prepare your mind.”

Oh.

Your first instructor is your father.

This was a valuable opportunity as my father is the best martial artist among the 10 swords of the empire.

It’s something to look forward to since he’s one of the top fighters in the empire.

‘It would be nice to learn about family festivals or something like that.’

Since the clan is also a military family, wouldn’t there be at least one plausible secret level?

“And now that you’re eight years old, you’re going to need an attendant.”

“Hmm? Handmaids? There are already enough handmaidens, right?”

There are so many that it is burdensome.

Because the gaze doesn’t disappear wherever you go, you’re on the verge of developing a phobia of gazes that weren’t there before.

But my father, who heard me, shook his head as if he didn’t mean it.

“I’m not talking about servants. I’m talking about the servants who will help you right by your side.”

“…Is that different from an exclusive maid?”

Her exclusive handmaid, Chaehyun, is good at that.

“It is different from her exclusive maid. She is my person who has been ordered to take care of you to the end, but the servant she will see from now on is completely yours.”

“Oh.”

In short, you are my aide.

At my exclamation, my father nodded and smiled weakly.

“Hmm. I guess you understand now. If you are Sogaju, you should learn responsibility from an early age. Acquire responsibility and dignity while serving as an attendant.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“I will send the attendant tomorrow. I wonder if you can really get the attendant to follow you.”

Hmm….

If you enlist the servant who will become my person, you will become a reliable ally in the future.

Are you trying to see the qualities of a Sogaju?

“Well, I’ll try.”

“Yes.”

As if the business had ended there, the father withdrew his gaze and continued the meal.

At that time, his younger brother, who was absorbed in the meal next to his mother, let out a whimper.

“An attendant! Mom! I want an attendant too!”

My younger brother starts to use a group as if he thought it was a fun toy.

“Now, should we stop, Jieun? You can’t embarrass your father and brother.”

“I don’t like it! Give me! Attendant! Attendant! Shijooong!”

My mother tries to soothe my younger brother, but he doesn’t give up his opinion, probably because he’s already attached to the servant.

Her mother, who once showed a puzzled expression, immediately spoke up as if she couldn’t help it.

“Okay! Then mom will make a delicious lunch for me tomorrow…”

“Hick!”

A younger brother who suddenly shuts his mouth at his mother’s words.

Soon after, tears began to well up in his brother’s eyes.

“Wowaaaaa!”

“Oh, oh my, Jieun-ah? Wasn’t lunch enough? Hey, would you like to have dinner?”

Unfortunately.

A younger brother who starts to sob at his mother’s words and a father who stops eating and causes a pupillary earthquake.

And even the chef shaking his head desperately in contemplation in the distance.

If we stayed here a little longer, there was a risk that tomorrow’s lunch would turn into chemicals.

I can’t help it.

“Come on, brother.”

Ugh-

I spoke lightly, and an aura bloomed from the palm of my hand.

My younger brother stops crying and looks this way as if the bright blue light is mysterious.

As expected, visually splendid works.

It is rewarding to come here and train hard.

“Ooh, whoa!”

The younger brother, who was trying to reach the aura by flapping his short arm, was blinded by the various shapes of aura that were shown one after another.

“Brother! I want to do that too!”

“Okay, would you like to join my brother?”

“I’ll do it!”

“Okay, then take this instead of the servant.”

“Yeah! I don’t need the author’s attendant!”

Ugh-

I carefully moved the aura and sent it to my younger brother, and I looked at my younger brother who was fiddling with the aura with a bright expression on his face.

‘Release of Aura. It’s the first time I’ve tried it, but luckily it’s a success.’

The shape is still unstable and it shakes constantly, but I managed to blow it away somehow.

With a little more practice, it might be possible to shoot like a real swordsman.

“You…”

At that time, my father, who was looking at me with surprised eyes, immediately closed his expression and shook his head.

“No, no. We’ll talk about that tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

After saying that, the father looked down and continued the meal.

My younger sister was also distracted by the aura I sent her, and thanks to that, her mother seemed to have forgotten what she had just said.

After… , Finally, peace finally came to the table──

“And stop contemplating while eating.”

“Oh, yes.”

…I caught this.

───

The next morning.

I woke up early in the morning looking forward to training, and there was a girl I had never seen before.

‘It’s cute.’

I don’t know who it is, but my eyes are good since morning.

Brown hair neatly cut.

Golden eyes shining brightly as if studded with pumpkins.

He has chubby cheeks that haven’t fallen out yet and a cold expression that doesn’t match his age.

I had a strong impression of being cute rather than pretty because I was still young, but my clear features showed that I was a beauty even at first sight.

‘Ugh….’

I don’t think they’re unwelcome guests, seeing as the ladies-in-waiting aren’t particularly restrained.

Who are you?

Did you know my question?

The strange girl slowly lowered her head and spoke out.

“Hello, young boy. My name is Yu Seon-hwa, and I will be living with you starting today. Please take good care of me in the future.”

“Window painting?”

As I was tilting my head, Chaehyun, who was nearby, came over and gave me a detailed explanation.

“It is one of the collaterals that has served the Yeon family for generations. He is the same age as the young master and will take care of the young master in the future.”

“Huh…. It’s a collateral.”

Are they collateral relatives?

But since they have different surnames, they must be distant relatives.

At that time, a cold voice came out of Seonhwa’s mouth after hearing my muttering.

“Yes, collateral. Any problem?”

“You…!”

“No, no problem.”

Chaehyun, who was by my side, tried to raise her voice, but my voice jumped out before him.

“…I understand.”

Seonhwa frowned slightly at my words, and soon sat down next to me with her head bowed as if nothing had happened.

‘Hmm…If you were the same age as me, you’d be only 8 years old.’

For a child, he reacted quite sharply.

‘Do you usually hear gossip around you?’

Chaehyun, who was standing next to me, tried to say something, but I silently stopped him and thought as I left the room slowly.

‘I don’t know! I have to train!’

I don’t want to waste my time thinking about things on this fine day!

That’s how I headed for the training ground with steps that seemed to fly, accompanied by a large number of maids.
