Chapter 1: Kukkoro Die-Hard Fan Descends into Another World

“Hah... hah...”

My breathing grew ragged from the long stretch of anaerobic exercise.

Even so, my grip on the sword did not loosen in the slightest, and I did not compromise on a single swing.

The wooden sword, made lighter for children, sliced through the air in my hands, producing a sharp whoosh.

Then I let out one breath and wiped the sweat running down my forehead.

W̌êb̊n̆о v̇е̌l̈ Е n ümӑ

Phew... Looks like my movements have gotten a lot better.

My name is Geralt Drake.

I am a reincarnator who, in my previous life, was an ordinary high school student.

This world has rules that differ greatly from Earth, but somehow, I have managed to survive this far.

And now, I am practicing sword swings, one form of etiquette for nobles in this world.

“Geralt. Are you finished with your sword-swinging practice?”

Е́ n u m а

“Mother. I have completed my goal for this morning, for now.”

Just as I was taking a short rest, someone spoke to me from behind, and when I turned around, standing there was my mother in this world――Olivia Drake.

I had never once used the address “Mother” in my previous life, but thanks to my parents hiring strict private tutors, I had grown fairly accustomed to polite speech.

Mother smiled gently as she wiped away my sweat with a towel.

“Is your health all right, Mother?”

“Yes, sometimes it is actually bad for me not to exercise at all. The weather is wonderful today, so Mother thought she would take a short walk.”

W еb ñо̃v̌ е l̊ Е ǹŭm̌а

At present, a small life was dwelling inside Mother’s womb.

It seemed that this time, she had happened to pass by here while out on a stroll.

“My, my. Geralt is still only five years old, so you do not need to practice swordsmanship yet, you know? You only need to be able to do it before entering the military academy later.”

Humans in this world can use magic such as physical enhancement, transmutation, and attribute granting, but they cannot use release-type magic such as producing fire.

Because of that, swordsmanship developed in its place, and all nobles are obligated to enter the military academy at the age of fifteen in order to focus on swordsmanship and academics.

They do not need to become experts. It is enough for them to possess the basic skills. For that reason, there are many cases where they begin learning swordsmanship in their early teens so they will be ready by the time they enter the academy. Considering that, a child like me, who already held a sword at a single-digit age, was something rare.

“No, Mother. I also wish to work hard in my sword training so that I do not disgrace the name of the eldest son of House Drake.”

“My goodness...! Ian would surely be delighted if he heard that...!”

Ian is the name of my father, the head of House Drake and a marquis of the Kingdom of Alber.

The House Drake into which I was born seems to be a prestigious military family, and my father is not only a marquis, but also holds the position of Minister of War.

As the eldest son who will inherit House Drake in the future, my interest in the sword is naturally something that makes both my parents happy.

However, while I do feel guilty toward my parents, my efforts to become stronger are not for the sake of House Drake or anything like that.

Е̃n ů m̂ а́. î d̊

They are for the sake of fulfilling my one and only dream and grand objective.

To achieve it, I need strength that will not be defeated by anyone.

Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!

That dream is――

I want to see a real kukkoro!

I truly want to witness kukkoro in person, in its place of origin: this other world!

Of course, even if I relaxed and did not fight at all, considering this is another world and battles occur far more often than they did in my previous life, there might come a time when a female knight loses to someone and I can enjoy kukkoro from a third-party perspective.

Е̇ n üm_а̇

However, if that were the case, I would not be able to see it unless I happened to be at the scene, and if I were unlucky, I might never witness that moment in my entire life.

I absolutely do not want that to happen, and I definitely would not be satisfied with seeing it only once.

That is why I thought about it.

What method would be the most optimal for seeing kukkoro again and again, in a stable manner?

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

And after sometimes wavering, sometimes thinking, sometimes suffering, at the end of my deep contemplation, I arrived at the most suitable solution.

I simply need to become the one who defeats the female knight.

E n̈u m̈ а̂

By playing the role of the villain and continually defeating the female knights who come to punish me, I will be able to keep seeing kukkoro forever...!

This strategy absolutely requires overwhelming strength that will never lose, no matter how powerful the female knight I face may be.

Since House Drake is a distinguished military family, this environment is the most ideal and unparalleled place to obtain that strength.

“Mother. I have a request.”

“My, what is it? Mother will do anything as long as it is within her power. Tell me.”

“I wish to become stronger. Therefore, I humbly ask that Mother find me a teacher who can instruct me in swordsmanship.”

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

In this world, there are countless schools of swordsmanship.

Each school has its own strengths and weaknesses, as well as degrees of compatibility needed to master it. It would not be an exaggeration to say that one’s choice of school can influence one’s life, and it would be impossible for me, who had only just learned to read and was still in the process of studying many things, to understand those schools.

Asking my parents, who understand swordsmanship, to find me an excellent teacher is the shortest route and the surest path toward realizing kukkoro.

“Oh my, a teacher... Normally, a five-year-old child would not be given a teacher, but Geralt’s foundation in swordsmanship has grown quite solid, hasn’t it? Mother will try discussing it with Ian.”

I never thought that the swordsmanship school of the heir’s son could be decided solely on Mother’s judgment, so this was the best reaction I had expected.

I formed a smile and bowed respectfully to Mother.

E.n̈um̃а

“Thank you very much, Mother. I leave it in your hands.”

“It is all right. After all, this is a request from you, who rarely ever asks for anything. Mother will discuss it with Ian. However, do not assume that you will definitely receive a teacher, all right? After all, Ian will be the one to make the final decision.”

“Yes, I understand. However, I am already very happy just knowing that Mother is willing to convey it to Father.”

“My goodness...! Geralt truly is such a good child!”

Mother hugged my body very tightly.

I will definitely become strong.

Ӗ nu mа

For the sake of seeing kukkoro, I can endure any suffering.

I will make this life a happy one, filled with kukkoro――

Since I said I wanted to become a villain, perhaps I cannot be called a good child, but I will do my best not to trouble my parents as much as possible. While burying my face in Mother’s chest, I smiled wryly and steeled that resolve in my heart.

Then, several days after I asked Mother to find me a teacher.

Father summoned me to the training ground and told me to bring my wooden sword.

Thinking in my heart that the time had come, I immediately took the wooden sword I usually used for swing practice and ran toward the training ground.

E_ń u mа

When I arrived, Father was already waiting for me in clothes that were easy to move in, different from what he usually wore when carrying out his official duties.

“My apologies for keeping you waiting, Father.”

“No, do not mind it, Geralt. More importantly, do you know why I called you here?”

“To see my ability... perhaps?”

When I asked, Father nodded with a satisfied expression.

Well, if Father was dressed like this and called me here at a time like this, of course I could easily imagine it.

“I heard from Olivia that you asked to have a teacher found for you. To be honest, I would like to see your progress directly and continuously, but since the situation near the border has grown suspicious, I do not have much free time. Therefore, this time I want you to show me your ability, Geralt.”

“I understand. I will use everything I have.”

“Yes. Do not treat this as practice. Come at me with the intent to kill. Show me your seriousness.”

What Father expected of me was not victory.

Asking a five-year-old child to defeat the current head of the family, none other than the head of the prestigious House Drake, would be far too cruel and absurd.

Therefore, what I needed to show was my current full ability and my resolve.

I had to prove that I was worthy of receiving a teacher.

“I am coming.”

“Come.”

I kicked off the ground and swung my wooden sword.

However, Father blocked my sword without moving a single step.

“Oh, your swing is quite sharp.”

W̌ e bn̈ о ṽ ĕ l Е̄ n u m̈ a

“...! I am not done yet!”

I pulled back for a moment, then immediately attacked again.

I did not forget the sensation of swing practice at all. I kept the fundamentals in mind, yet attacked without becoming too fixated on fixed forms.

The days of effort in which I held a sword and sweated almost every day had produced attacks that flowed beautifully, even though this was my first fight against another person.

“Hah! Yaah!”

“I see. This is indeed good swordsmanship. I can feel that you have been diligently practicing your sword swings. However...”

En̆u̇ ṁ а̇

The moment he said that, the aura surrounding Father changed.

And something that could not be explained through the five senses sounded an alarm of danger inside me.

I trusted my intuition and instantly leapt backward, and Father’s sword was swung down at the spot where I had been just moments earlier.

T-that was dangerous...! If that attack had hit my head, even if it was a wooden sword, wouldn’t I have died...!? Isn’t this way too merciless against a five-year-old child...!?

“Incredible...! You dodged that attack...!”

The stamina of a five-year-old child has its limits.

I had already begun panting slightly, and even if I continued dodging or tried to defend, I would not get any chance to win.

Therefore, there was only one option I had to choose here.

I had to be the one to attack.

“Haaaa!!!”

When I charged forward, Father grinned with satisfaction.

“I see. Even though you are my son, this is truly admirable. My highest praise for that courage――”

Ẁ e̊bn̆ о v̆.ěl̃ Еn̈ u m ӓ

At that moment, Father’s figure disappeared.

!?

Crap!?

If this keeps up, I will end up in a situation where I perform kukkoro――!?

And in the next moment, my consciousness vanished into darkness――

Е̌ n úṁ ӓ..í d̂

“Hah――!?”

When I woke up, I had been laid down in my own room.

And then I remembered that I had been having a mock battle with Father and realized that I had lost.

I couldn’t do a single thing...

Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!

Considering I am still five years old, I know it is natural that I lost.

However, even though my head understands that, this frustration does not disappear, and I am made to realize that the path toward kukkoro is still very long.

Е̌n̊u̇m̂ а

In my previous life, I was not someone especially hot-blooded who hated losing.

Of course, the story changes if it concerns kukkoro.

“Geralt, you are awake.”

“Ah, Father. I am all ri... ght?”

Thinking Father had come, I looked toward the voice, and although I intended to say that I was all right, my sentence unconsciously turned into a question.

Father, who had entered the room, was having his ear pinched by Mother.

Mother was smiling too, but for some reason, her eyes were not smiling, making cold sweat run down my back.

“U-um... Mother? Why has Father ended up in such a state?”

“Ufufu, wait just a moment, Geralt. Even if it was only a mock battle, you were far too merciless against a five-year-old child, Dear? I heard you even used a technique?”

A technique?

Ah, she means the moment when Father disappeared during the mock battle.

Was that some kind of technique from the school Father uses?

Е̇ n u ḿа́

............That really was merciless, wasn’t it!?

“Ugh, I was delighted by my son’s growth, which exceeded my expectations, and without thinking...”

“There is no such thing as ‘without thinking.’ You are usually calm, but there are times when you become too excited in battle. Please be careful.”

Of course, Father was one thing, but Mother also came from a great noble family, and this was a political marriage. However, perhaps they could say all sorts of things to each other so casually because they loved each other from the bottom of their hearts.

Father looked a little more pitiful than usual as Mother scolded him, but this was hundreds of times better than Father bullying Mother, or a cold relationship where the two of them were indifferent to each other.

Thinking that made me smile.

Wе b n̂о̀v̌.е́l É n_ǔ m̆ а

“Mother, I am not injured and I am all right. It was a very meaningful and beneficial mock battle for me.”

“Geralt... I understand. If you say you are all right, then Mother will not say anything more. However, Mother asks that you truly be careful so you do not get hurt.”

“Father will be careful from now on... Geralt, forgive me.”

“No, I do not mind.”

As we spoke like that, we laughed without thinking.

This really was a warm and good family.

Ẇ е̇_b ǹ о v е̂_l Е̃ ńu̇ m̂ä.

Even though I only had an image of great nobles being cruel and heartless, here was a warm and kind family, the complete opposite of that image.

For some reason, that reality made me happy.

“Ah, that is right, Geralt. There is something Father wishes to discuss with you.”

“What is it?”

“It is about your request to have a teacher found for you...”

Would it still be impossible after all?

Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!

Since I could not do anything, had they judged that I was still too young to receive a teacher?

Hah... does that mean my “Infinite Kukkoro Plan” must be postponed for a little while...?

“Father has decided that it is all right to find you a teacher.”

“!! Truly!?”

“Yes, truly.”

Seriously...!

Ēnum̄ а

At last, I would have a teacher...!

The “Infinite Kukkoro Plan” is proceeding smoothly...!

“Ian, although I was the one who conveyed it, is this not too soon?”

“Hahaha, I expected you to say that. However, I do not wish to obstruct his extremely enthusiastic will toward the sword, and his academic studies are also proceeding smoothly, are they not?”

“That... may indeed be true. His private tutor has also reported that Geralt is very intelligent...”

One can easily guess what lessons for a five-year-old are like.

Ӗn̊ u m̂ а́

In my previous life, I was terrible at math, but what I am studying now is arithmetic, and I was good at language-related subjects even in my previous life.

Whether it is because this is a child’s brain or because this body itself is intelligent, memorization lessons enter my head very easily, so studying, which I hated so much in my previous life, now feels fairly enjoyable.

These days, I even voluntarily read rather difficult thick books in the library between training sessions.

“That is how it is. Well, of course I intend to forbid him from doing real combat training until Geralt grows a little bigger, but if it is Geralt, there should be no problem giving him a teacher from this age.”

“If that is the case... I will not oppose it.”

“Yes. In that case, Geralt, Father will find you a teacher, so continue training without pause. Father will give you a first-rate teacher, so look forward to it.”

Е ňǔ mа́

“Yes! Thank you very much!”

At last, I would also receive a teacher.

I wonder what sort of person will come...

In truth, I would like a female knight to come right away, but considering Father’s choice, perhaps it will be a veteran swordsman with a stern aura?

In any case, I am really looking forward to it...

Several months after the mock battle with Father, I was swinging my sword in the courtyard with a restless feeling.

Usually, simply swinging my sword would send all distracting thoughts somewhere far away, but today, I could not concentrate.

That was because the sword teacher I had long awaited would be arriving today.

For the sake of making the “Infinite Kukkoro Plan” succeed, strength is absolutely necessary. It would not be an exaggeration to say that my life would move forward dramatically starting today.

“I wonder... what kind... of person... will come...”

Because I was swinging my sword while thinking about something else, both became half-hearted.

Е̇nu ḿ.а

However, I could not stop thinking about it.

“Geralt, it seems your teacher will arrive soon. Take a bath while you still have time.”

“Really! Mother!”

I unconsciously reacted a little too strongly to Mother’s voice as she came to call me.

Seeing me in that state, Mother laughed happily.

“This is the first time Mother has seen Geralt like that. Once you finish bathing, come to the reception room, all right?”

W̌ ѐb no̊_v̀ еl Ѐǹ_u̇mа̇

“Yes! Mother!”

I placed my sword in my room and quickly finished bathing.

Then, when I headed toward the reception room full of excitement, Father was already waiting for me.

It seemed Father had made time in the middle of his busy schedule, because he was signing documents.

“Oh, Geralt. It seems they have arrived. Prepare yourself.”

“Yes, Father.”

Ŵ ebn о̊ v̌ еl Е̄ nu m а̄

As I sat beside Father, who was tidying up the documents, I imagined what kind of person the teacher who would arrive might be.

Ideally, I wanted the one who came to be a captivating beautiful woman or an extremely strong female adventurer, but it seemed the one coming this time was a middle-aged man.

Even though Father guaranteed his ability, life does not always go as hoped.

“Your Lordship. Your guest has arrived.”

“Yes, let them in.”

When Father answered, the door opened.

As we stood waiting, a teenage girl entered together with the soldiers and guards.

Since I could not see anyone who looked like the teacher I had been told about, I felt puzzled and shifted my gaze toward Father. Father’s eyes widened slightly.

As a capable great noble, he maintained an expressionless face, and his disturbance was so faint that only I, who had sharp eyes and was standing very close, could barely notice it.

“It has been a long time, Ian Drake-sama. I am Margaret Cartwright, the third daughter of the Viscount Cartwright family.”

Saying that, the girl bowed her head toward us.

She was probably around ten years old.

Е n̂úm а

Her fiery red hair, slightly wavy and extending down to her waist, her large round eyes, and her fresh-looking, soft lips.

She was unquestionably an unrivaled beautiful girl, and the appearance of the girl who introduced herself as Margaret made me unconsciously want to stand up and shout.

As a man, it is only natural to feel very excited when a beautiful girl arrives, but that was not the reason I liked Margaret.

Rather, it was the slightly upturned corners of her eyes that showed a strong will, and more than anything, the mental fortitude she showed by not displaying the slightest sign of fear in front of my father.

A figure like this was exactly what I was searching for.

Wе̇ b̃ n о v еl Е n̈.u m̃а̊

I was truly lucky to suddenly encounter such extraordinary talent.

“It has been a long time, Lady Cartwright. Now then, why are you here? I heard from Viscount Cartwright that he would be sending Sword Saint-dono.”

“My apologies, Marquis Drake-sama. Sword Saint Albert initially agreed to this arrangement, but he suddenly disappeared... As a replacement, Father ordered me to come.”

Father crossed his arms with a slightly displeased expression, and the girl bowed her head.

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

The fact that Father had called the Sword Saint for me was truly surprising, but why did the Sword Saint’s disappearance mean this child came here?

If she had come to apologize, then although she was a direct child of the family, she still looked around ten years old, and her position as the third daughter was a little too low.

Е n_ù ḿа̃

“I am not asking that. I am asking why Viscount Cartwright sent you here.”

“I heard that this time, you were seeking a teacher for the son of House Drake. Therefore, Father sent me as the replacement.”

“Do you believe yourself to be superior to Sword Saint-dono?”

“To be honest, I cannot defeat Sword Saint-dono. However, I will use everything I have. My father, William, said that if I am found lacking, he will hand over thirty percent of our family’s assets. He asks that you at least observe my progress for one month.”

“Hoo...”

In the first place, was such a young child going to become my teacher?

Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!

Considering this is another world, perhaps race or magic means there is no connection between appearance, age, and strength, so I will not complain, but she has extraordinary confidence.

Is this child truly that strong?

“I have no interest in money or the like, but if you go so far as to say that, then very well. However, I will not compromise on my son’s education. If he develops any strange habits, I will not forgive you at that time.”

“Thank you very much, Marquis Drake-sama.”

“Since you have declared as much before me, prove the results. O Red Flower of Cartwright.”

With that, the discussion ended, and the girl who introduced herself as Margaret became my teacher.

Еn̄ǔ m а.і́ d

Obtaining a beautiful girl as my teacher was something that made me extremely happy.

Perhaps this was a gift from the god who governs kukkoro.

This girl... let us also consider the kukkoro of this girl...!

Immediately after the discussion ended, I went to the training ground together with my teacher.

This was not the large place also used by the soldiers, but rather a training ground exclusively for the family.

“Allow me to introduce myself again. I am Margaret Cartwright. From now on, I will be teaching you swordsmanship.”

Margaret slightly lifted the skirt of her military uniform with her fingertips and gave me a respectful greeting.

I hurriedly waved my hand and asked Margaret to raise her face.

“I am younger, and you will be my teacher, so you may use a more casual way of speaking.”

“However, our House Cartwright is under the faction of House Drake, and speaking like that to the successor of the main family would be...”

“Please. Be casual with me.”

When I pleaded once more, Margaret looked slightly troubled.

Then, after thinking for several seconds, she nodded hesitantly.

“If you insist that much... I understand. I look forward to working with you from now on, Geralt.”

“Yes! I look forward to working with you! Teacher!”

“By the way, are you all right with speaking like that?”

“Considering you will be my teacher, this attitude is only natural.”

“...Fufu, I see.”

Margaret looked at me with eyes that smiled gently.

I did not know why she did that, but there was probably no particularly important reason, so I decided not to think about it.

“In that case, let us begin with a little academic lesson. First, the school you will be learning from now on is the Akatsuki Style.”

“The Akatsuki Style...”

That was a name I had heard before.

Wеb̊ n̈ o v̊ е̇l̃ Е́.n̂ u m̈ а̇

Knowing that I would receive a sword teacher, I had become excited and started researching by thoroughly reading various books.

I remember seeing the name Akatsuki Style among those books.

“Yes. Among the many existing schools, it ranks in the upper class in terms of power, but aside from the small number of people who can use it, learning it is also difficult.”

“Can I learn such a school?”

There is nothing better if the school is powerful, but judging from Margaret’s way of speaking, it seems that even standing at the starting line is difficult.

If I do not have the talent for it, it will only be a waste of time.

Ѐ ñu ma . і̌ d̄

“You can learn it. You possess the qualifications.”

“Qualifications? I do not feel like I possess any special qualifications...”

“This is not about studying. In order to use the Akatsuki Style, an extremely large amount of magic power is required. In other words, you possess that.”

“...? How do you know such a thing?”

“Has Marquis Drake-sama ever handed you a small crystal that easily fit in the palm of your hand?”

Hearing that, I tried searching through my memories.

Е ṅ ũm à

Then I remembered that several months ago, he had shown me a crystal because it was a rare item.

Was there something about that object?

“Yes. I once touched a crystal.”

“That crystal is a device for measuring magic capacity. If children are told their magic power will be measured, they sometimes become too excited, and accurate numbers do not appear. Therefore, before deciding on a school, they check magic capacity without saying anything like that and have children learn the school most suitable for them.”

I-I had no idea...

That was not written in the books, and it seems information management is carried out much more thoroughly than I had imagined.

Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!

Besides, it turns out I have magic power too.

I had not noticed it at all.

“And it seems your magic power is extraordinarily large. Therefore, Marquis Drake-sama asked House Cartwright to send the Sword Saint, who happened to be my teacher, was staying in Cartwright territory, and could use the Akatsuki Style. The rest is as I told you earlier.”

Well, perhaps my heart, which longs for kukkoro, has produced a tremendous amount of magic power.

Since devotion to kukkoro cannot be measured by logic, nothing that happens is strange.

Even so, the Sword Saint disappeared, huh...

Е̃ n u ma..і̆d̆

Well, for me, training with a beautiful girl is far more enjoyable than training with a middle-aged man, so as long as she educates me properly, I will not complain.

As long as I have the foundation, I can train the rest by myself.

“The Akatsuki Style is powerful. Precisely because of that, if you stray from the path, you will hurt many people... Therefore, you must engrave pride and an oath into your sword. Do you understand?”

“Y-yes.”

“Well, it is faster to see it in person than to explain it with words. Step back a little.”

“I understand.”

Е n̂ ǔmӑ

While I kept my distance, Margaret brought over a wooden post for test-cutting.

Then she closed her eyes and took her stance.

Her figure was not that of a weak girl. Rather, she was cloaked in an aura that could even intimidate adults.

“Akatsuki Style, Iai Technique... Suigetsu Slash.”

At that moment, the upper half of the wooden post was cut off and sent flying.

My eyes could barely follow it, but I had never seen a flash of a slash this fast.

Then, when I looked at the severed wooden post, its cut surface was not rough at all, as though it were the surface of water.

“A-amazing...”

“Right? This is the Akatsuki Style. I will train you hard as well.”

I was left speechless.

It seemed that the girl smiling carefree in front of me, who looked a little strong-willed, was far stronger than I had imagined.

“You are amazing, Teacher! To be able to use a technique like this...”

“Fufu, I may not look it, but I have mastered all the secrets of the Akatsuki Style, you know. Although I am still far from Sword Saint Albert, I can use all of its techniques.”

“I apologize if this is rude, but how old are you, Teacher? You look very young.”

Rather than merely young, her appearance was at a level where “still a child” was more fitting.

Was there a racial issue or some physical issue making her look younger than her actual age?

“I am nine years old this year. So I am four years older than you.”

You yourself said it was difficult to learn, yet you have already mastered everything at that age?

Ẁèb̀n̄о v̀ е l̊ Ӗn̂ ũmа

However, although it may be impossible before the age of nine, if I start training from my current age, perhaps I can also use the Akatsuki Style at a fairly early stage.

“Thank you for telling me.”

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

“It is all right. I did not intend to hide it either. Now then, let us begin the training at once. The first thing you must do is practice the basics of swordsmanship as usual and learn Masou, which is mandatory for learning the Akatsuki Style.”

“Masou? What is that?”

I had never heard of anything like Masou.

Perhaps it was something unique to the Akatsuki Style.

W̌ е̃b̌ ň.о̀ v̇ ӗ l̊ Е num а

“Masou is, so to speak, armor made of magic power that thinly covers your entire body. By spreading it evenly all the way to the tips of your nails without leaving any gaps, Masou activates.”

“So there is a technique like that. But what happens when you use Masou?”

Would it release some kind of aura bursting outward?

It felt like something a Demon King would do. Cool.

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

Imagining that I could realize a mock kukkoro scenario between a Demon King and a female adventurer made me feel excited with just a little fantasy.

“By covering yourself in magic power through Masou, you will be able to move your body through magic power, not through your nerves. By doing that, your reaction speed becomes much faster, and by coating your body with magic power, your attack power, defensive power, and physical speed also rise sharply. Of course, your five senses are also strengthened, and your brain becomes more active.”

E̊ ň ú m̃ӓ

F-for some reason, just hearing about it already makes it sound extremely strong...

But perhaps this is why the Akatsuki Style cannot be mastered unless one has a large amount of magic power.

Enuma ID

Margaret said that Masou is mandatory for the Akatsuki Style, and the techniques I will learn from now on are also designed on the premise of using Masou.

The fact that those techniques cannot be used if Masou runs out means that people who cannot use Masou from the beginning will never be able to master them.

“In that case, let us begin by training Masou first. You are more motivated for this than sword practice, are you not?”

“How can you tell?”

“Fufu, because your eyes are sparkling. If you do not master Masou, we cannot proceed to the next stage, so this is a good time.”

Really... does it show on my face?

But this is magic power, you know?

Until now, I had never once felt magic power inside myself, and when the time finally came to use magic power, I could not stop my excitement.

“In that case, let us begin by sensing the magic power inside yourself.”

“How can I sense the magic power inside me?”

Ẽn.ûm а̃ . їd

“Fufu, would you hold out one of your hands?”

Hearing that, I obediently held out my right hand.

Then Margaret gently held my hand with both of hers.

Margaret’s hands should have felt hard because of calluses from holding a sword, but they felt warm and soft in a way unique to a girl.

Besides, even in my previous life, I had never had my hand held by a girl, so my face grew hot.

“W-why is your face getting so red?”

Ѐ nû m̌ а̇

Perhaps because Margaret was also influenced by me, her cheeks became slightly flushed as well.

It seems that seeing someone else become embarrassed really can calm you down, and I was freed a little from my nervousness while also feeling a slightly mischievous impulse rise within me.

Let’s tease her a little.

“I apologize. After all, I have never had the experience of holding hands with a member of the opposite sex around my age... Especially because Teacher is such a sweet and beautiful person, so I unconsciously became nervous.”

“S-sweet...!? I-I do not need flattery like that! Besides, I have never held hands with a boy either...”

I could not hear the last part very clearly, but Margaret turned away, her face as red as an apple.

Ė_num̆ а̀

But it was not flattery.

I truly want to see her perform kukkoro before my eyes.

However, although Margaret looks strong-willed, she is my teacher.

Since I intend to refrain from going too far and train seriously until I obtain strength, I will postpone the matter of kukkoro for the time being.

“A-anyway, what matters now is magic power! Could you close your eyes for a moment?”

“Eh? Are you going to kiss me?”

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

“I told you, no! I am telling you to concentrate because from now on, I will flow magic power into you!”

“I see. In that case, I will close my eyes.”

I have only just realized this, but Margaret is quite worth teasing.

She is a pure tsundere young lady who looks as if she stepped out of a painting, but because she is fundamentally honest, she responds to my jokes every time.

It feels comfortable, like I am speaking with a friend from my previous life.

“Then I will flow the magic power. I will flow it slowly, so properly feel the flow of magic power.”

Е̂ n̄ ú ma

“Yes.”

I remained still with my eyes closed as instructed, but I did not feel any change.

D-don’t tell me that even though I have a lot of magic power inside me, I cannot sense it because I have absolutely no talent!?

Isn’t that really bad!?

“...Teacher? Um...”

“Strange... Why...?”

Е̊ nŭ m а. iď

I heard Margaret’s confused voice, so I opened my eyes.

Margaret tilted her head slightly in confusion while lowering the ends of her well-shaped eyebrows.

“What is wrong?”

“I tried to flow my magic power into you, but the magic power will not enter. It feels as though it is hitting something like a wall...”

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

Could there be dirt built up or something...

No, since an organ to store magic power exists in the first place, I do not feel at all that this body has the same structure as my previous life, so knowledge of health or biology would be useless, wouldn’t it?

Ŵеb ñо̊ v̄е l̊ Ё ñ um̌ â

“I will try once more. This time, I will flow it with full force.”

“I understand. Please do.”

“Yes, close your eyes once more.”

I closed my eyes again.

To be honest, I did not really understand whether there was any point in closing my eyes, but since Margaret told me to close them, I would close them.

Besides, there was little point in rebelling there.

“I am starting... Haah...!”

At that moment, my right hand, held by Margaret, slowly grew warm, and I felt the presence of something heavy moving slowly inside me.

To be honest, it felt unpleasant, but the heaviness only happened at first, and as time passed, the sensation began to flow smoothly.

Is this magic power...?

It was a strange sensation, as if something warm was flowing in to replace something inside me being sucked out.

Perhaps this was magic power.

Ẽ num а

It was an unknown experience I would definitely never have been able to feel in my previous life.

“How is it? Can you feel the flow of magic power?”

Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!

“Yes. I can feel Teacher’s warm magic power entering me. I did not realize it until now, but magic power actually flows to various places in my body.”

Out of curiosity, I decided to try whether I could move the magic power myself.

I had not been taught any specific way to move it, but it seems that once you are aware of its existence, you can control it unconsciously like a muscle.

I tried accelerating the flow of magic power based purely on instinct.

“Hyaah!?”

“Eh, what is wrong!?”

Suddenly, Margaret let out a seductive voice that did not match her age and fell back onto her bottom.

I instantly opened my eyes, released our joined hands, and ran over to Margaret.

“Not ‘what is wrong’...! Of course I would be startled if that much magic power suddenly flowed into me...!”

Margaret glared at me while her face turned red.

Ẅ ẽ b̄ ň оv̈е̌l Е̊nu̇ m̃ а

However, because her eyes looked moist and languid, she was not scary at all.

In any case, I was relieved that Margaret seemed to be all right.

“But the fact that you can flow your own magic power means you can properly feel the magic power flowing inside you, right?”

“Yes, very clearly.”

Margaret stood up and lightly patted her skirt to brush off the sand stuck to it.

Then she looked this way and nodded in satisfaction.

“I am glad it went smoothly. This is how a teacher makes their student sense the existence of magic power. In your case, it seems your magic capacity is too large, so the magic power I flowed at first was not enough and could not move it. If not for that, I would not have fallen over like that either...”

Margaret said that as if sulking a little.

It seems that happened because my amount of magic power was too large.

I did feel a little guilty, but considering that accumulating incidents that cause embarrassment like this is very important for kukkoro, this was also something delightful.

“So magic power can be connected to another person. Ah, does that mean if either Teacher or I run out of magic power, we can receive magic power from each other?”

In response to my question, Margaret shook her head with a wry smile.

Е̃nu m ä

Then she explained the reason to me.

“It is possible, but doing so is pointless.”

“...? Why is that? If we flow magic power into the other person like just now, would it not work?”

“Yes. Just as Geralt said, we can hand over magic power. However, we cannot convert another person’s magic power into our own magic.”

Hearing that, I understood.

In short, it is like a battery.

W е̄.b̊ no v е̂ l̃ Ĕň um̆ å

Even if the energy itself can be given to another party, if the form does not match, that energy cannot be used.

Besides, even batteries cannot be used if their size is different.

“I understand. If so, then it is true that would only end with one side using up their magic power.”

“You understand quickly. Well, in any case, let us begin Masou training.”

“Yes, Teacher.”

“First, gather magic power only in your right hand. There is no need to try making it thin. Just gather it.”

W еb̄ ñ o̊ v́ е̃l Ёńú m а̀

“I understand.”

For now, I tried gathering magic power in my right hand.

However, since magic power was something I had never felt before, it did not go smoothly.

Therefore, I decided to change my way of thinking.

Until just now, I had been trying to gather magic power in my right hand by wringing it out like a rag. But if I consider magic power as something similar to blood flowing throughout the entire body, blood will not flow backward at all because the heart and veins have valves.

If I compare it to kukkoro, it is like a doujinshi that suddenly shows a kukkoro scene without any context whatsoever.

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

Kukkoro emits its true radiance by correctly building up each step in order.

It is not enough simply to perform kukkoro, and magic power is the same. Rather than merely gathering magic power, it is important to gather it without going against its flow.

In that case, I only need to dam the flow of magic power in my right hand, then accelerate the flow of magic power throughout my entire body.

By doing that, magic power naturally gathers in the right hand.

“Teacher.”

“What is it? Is it difficult because my explanation was insufficient? I will explain magic power again slowly.”

Ẅ е̊ b n̈о̀ṽ ēl Е ñu̇ ṁå

“No, I have already succeeded.”

“...Hah?”

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

Margaret wore a stunned face for a moment.

However, she quickly returned to normal and reached her hand above my right hand.

“T-the magic power really has gathered...”

“It turned out to be more difficult than I expected. Moving magic power is quite troublesome, isn’t it?”

Ё n̊um̃ а .i ď

“N-no, no! Even if it is only gathering magic power in the right hand, for a first time, it normally takes days to grasp the sensation, you know!? A-and you did it in such a short time...”

“I see.”

Well, this is probably thanks to logical kukkoro thinking.

Precisely because kukkoro connects to everything, once mastered, it becomes my flesh and blood, giving me strength.

Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!

I smiled upon realizing the fact that whether on Earth or in another world, kukkoro, granted to humanity as a blessing from God, would always help me at any time.

It seems I really must offer even more faith to God.

Е́ ǹ_u m̊а̌

Next, once I get used to it, I am sure I will be able to control the speed of the magic power flow freely.

“I-I cannot believe you are this much of a genius... Even I needed a whole day...”

“Isn’t Teacher far more of a genius? You mastered an entire school at that age. On top of that, it is the Akatsuki Style. As expected, the name ‘Red Flower of Cartwright’ is not just for show.”

“!? How do you know that name!?”

“I heard it from Father earlier. ‘Red Flower of Cartwright’ is a genius who appears only once every several decades, blessed with peerless beauty, and even though she is only nine years old, marriage proposals never stop arriving. You are truly amazing, Teacher.”

Father had said that, so for a moment I thought it might have been slightly exaggerated, but after actually training with Margaret, I changed my view and realized that story was not a lie.

Someone truly incredible had become my teacher.

“...it.”

“...? What is wrong?”

“Forget that name!”

“Eh? Why? Even though it is a beautiful title and suits Teacher very well.”

“Uuh... because it is embarrassing! Try being given a title yourself. It feels so embarrassing that you cannot stand it! I cannot believe even my own student called me that...! If you call me by that name again, that day’s training will consist only of running! Do you understand!?”

Еńû mа . і̌ d̆

“Y-yes...”

I resolved in my heart never to call her by that title in front of Margaret from now on.

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

Then, after some time had passed, one night after Margaret became my teacher, when everyone was already asleep, I lay in bed while practicing Masou.

Lately, I had continued practicing Masou under Margaret’s supervision, but it still did not go smoothly.

Although I had started to be able to gather magic power in each part of my body, it seemed that thinning it was difficult without a sufficiently high level of magic control, so I still could not master it.

Margaret said it was normal for it to take more than a month, and there were also people who needed years, so I could only do it patiently.

Ĕ n̂um â

“Hah... I have used quite a lot of magic power. Should I just rest for today...?”

Although it is called magic power training, there are two types of training. If I release magic power at full force, the amount I can release in an instant will increase, and if I continue releasing it slowly over a long period of time, my magic power capacity and recovery rate will also increase.

If I do not train both in balance, I will not be able to become strong.

While feeling a sense of sluggishness different from physical fatigue, I fell asleep.

The next morning, when I woke up before sunrise, I began my daily routine of running and practicing sword swings.

While doing those things, I did not release magic power. Instead, I freely moved it inside my body as a form of magic manipulation training while multitasking.

W e b̃ n оv е l Е nů mä

In my previous life, I was accustomed to only getting enthusiastic at the beginning of my efforts, but now, sword training and magic power training felt enjoyable, so I did not feel like stopping even though the training should have been fairly harsh.

Because beyond the end of this effort, beautiful kukkoro is surely waiting for me.

“Hah... hah... It is almost breakfast time... I need to quickly wash off the sweat and go to the dining room...”

I brought a change of clothes and a towel, then headed to the bath.

This mansion is equipped with large baths for women and men.

There is also a bath exclusively for the family, but since Father and Mother sometimes use it to create new family members, I prefer to use the bath also used by the servants.

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

Large baths are nice, but since I have come all the way to another world, I want to see a lucky sukebe scene, something that almost never happened in my previous life. Unfortunately, that does not seem like it will happen, and all I can say is that it is truly regrettable.

I have thought several times about going to peep on Margaret while she bathes, but that is not lucky sukebe. That is simply peeping, and I dislike it.

If possible, I want to obtain a lucky sukebe where Margaret, her face red and her eyes moist, curses me by saying, “T-to think I was seen naked by someone like you... Ugh... just kill me...”

That does not mean I am an extreme masochist, you know?

If anything, I lean more toward being a sadist, and all kukkoro lovers have sadistic tendencies. *There are various theories regarding this.

After all, we watch heroines being defeated while grinning.

Ĕ n̊ ům̄ а̇

Hah... Even so, why is this house so huge... If only I had been born into a lower-ranking noble family, would I have been able to see lucky sukebe...?

I took a sip of cold water and began taking off my clothes.

The uncomfortable stickiness of sweating a little was replaced by a refreshing sense of freedom as I removed my clothes.

Perhaps in my previous life, it would have been fun to try going to a gym.

Then, when I opened the door to the bath, a utopia spread out before me.

Hah!? Margaret...!?

Е̃ń.ǔm ӑ . і̊ d́

Margaret, wearing nothing but a towel, had a sweet charm that seemed capable of flinging wide open a door that should never be opened.

That absolute territory that was almost visible yet not visible stimulated the heart of a man.

So God was in a place like this... My twenty-two years of life, including my previous life... This is the highest point humanity has ever reached...!

For a moment, even kukkoro was flung far away, and I hallucinated that the path of liking lolis was the path humanity ought to walk.

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

However, despite how I may seem, I am a die-hard kukkoro fan who has dedicated my faith to kukkoro.

I quickly drove away my distracting thoughts, imagined kukkoro, and recalled the path I should take.

Еn̊ ū m̈ ã. îd̀

That was close... I am someone who has dedicated his life to kukkoro. I must not stray and walk the path of lolis... Eh?

At that point, I began to think.

Why had something like this happened?

Moreover, our eyes had clearly met, leaving me with no way to talk my way out of it.

“~~! Do not... keep staring like that!”

An attack wrapped in Masou flew toward me.

However, my eyes had caught it.

The towel that was about to slip because of her aggressive movement.

If I take this punch here, I will definitely pass out... but I want to reach the true level of enlightenment!

Just this attack... if I can avoid just this one attack, I might reach the mysterious utopia of kukkoro.

Thinking that, I exerted the highest level of concentration I had used since coming to this world.

Removing it with my own hands would be utter nonsense in terms of art.

Wе́ ḃn̆ o v̌е ľ Е́ńum̀ а̃

Therefore, I only need to withstand this one attack and leave the rest to the laws of nature.

The moment I thought that, I felt the magic power I had never managed to control no matter how much I wanted to do so spread thinly throughout my entire body.

My five senses sharpened, and my body felt abnormally light.

I had not expected that to happen, but I had no time to be surprised here.

My teacher’s fist was already approaching right in front of me.

Dodge... my body...!

We b n o v̄.е́ l Ë n̆ŭm̌а

Perhaps my prayer was answered, because I succeeded in avoiding the fist by the thinnest of margins.

The fist grazed my cheek and drew blood, but something like that did not matter.

I focused all my nerves on the phenomenon that would occur next.

In slow motion, the towel slipped off Margaret’s body.

However, here, an unexpected incident also happened to me.

“Kyaa!?”

Е́ ǹ u_m̂а̃

“Dangerous!?”

This field was a wet bath.

Margaret lost her balance because her attack missed.

Reflexively, I hugged Margaret and braced my body so that we would not fall.

As a result, the two of us safely managed to stay standing without falling.

“Phew... That was almost dangerous.”

There was no accident where I accidentally touched her chest or some strange place, the kind that often happens in manga.

It was very unfortunate that I could not reach that mysterious utopia, but I was glad Margaret was not hurt.

“Are you all right? Teacher?”

“A... ugh...”

“Teacher?”

Could this be that thing!?

“I would rather die...!? Nooooo!!!!”

The next moment, just as I waited eagerly for Margaret’s words, my consciousness went dark.

◇◆◇

When I woke up, I was lying in the bed in my own room.

When I tried to get up, my jaw throbbed with pain.

Then I remembered that my jaw had received a clean hit.

“You are awake. Does your jaw hurt?”

As I was rubbing my still-aching jaw, I realized that Margaret was sitting in the chair placed beside me.

However, her state was a little strange.

“...? Teacher? Why are you here?”

“I simply came to visit you. After all, attacking a five-year-old child using Masou was a childish act.”

Margaret, who said that, looked somewhat dispirited.

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

It must be admitted that someone who had mastered all the secrets of a school attacking at full power was a childish act.

However...

“No, this was my fault. Because I did not notice that Teacher was inside.”

“But...”

“Considering Teacher is the daughter of a noble family, it is not strange for you to panic when you are almost seen naked by a man. Well, using Masou may have been a little excessive.”

“Ugh... I know that.”

Е ṅ ũm̊а

Margaret began stroking my head while still sitting in the chair beside my bed.

The warmth of that hand, different from Mother’s warmth, felt very comforting.

“Even though I was the one who told you to engrave pride and an oath into your sword so you would not hurt people carelessly... If this is how I act, then I... have failed as a teacher...”

Tears quietly flowed down Margaret’s cheeks.

She did not need to think that far just because she hit a perverted brat like me.

“Teacher, you used your fist, not your sword. Therefore, you did not stain that pride and oath at all.”

“...What are you trying to say?”

“I want to maintain our current relationship. I absolutely do not want Teacher to stop being my teacher. Therefore... since this time, both of us were at fault, would you be willing to forget about it?”

Objectively speaking, perhaps I was more at fault.

However, if things were left like this, Margaret would continue blaming herself.

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

I still have many things I want to learn from Margaret.

Besides, if I had touched the chest or seen the naked body of a noble daughter, I would have had to take responsibility by making Margaret my wife, but this time, at least, I was safe.

Wеb nóv́е̂ l Ě n̂ū mа́

If the two of us agreed, this was not an issue that needed to be made larger.

“Fufu... You really are something.”

“Is that not allowed?”

“No. It is not that it is not allowed...”

Margaret smiled and showed me her best smile.

Without thinking, I felt my heart throb a little.

However, what I ultimately want to see is only kukkoro.

In the next moment, the pounding in my chest had calmed.

“In that case, I look forward to working with you from now on, Teacher.”

“Yes, I look forward to working with you too, Geralt.”

When our eyes met, smiles naturally appeared, and we laughed together.

By the way, the reason Margaret was in the men’s bath seems to be that the water-filling magic tool in the women’s bath was not working properly.

Ѐ n̊ ŭm а̇

In general, I simply failed to notice the “cleaning in progress” sign that Margaret had placed so men would not enter, so this was 100 percent my fault.

From now on, I will be careful... maybe?

Then, the next day.

I came to the training ground with Margaret as usual.

However, today’s me was a little different.

En ům а. і̄d̄

After all――

“Can you really use Masou now?”

“Yes! I was able to use it this morning too, so it is definitely true!”

The sensation from when I avoided her attack for the sake of seeing Margaret’s absolute territory yesterday had indeed been Masou.

After that, I tried several times, and my body became very light and my mind became clear, so it was certain that it was Masou.

“Hah... You only started a week ago, you know? How did you manage to master it so quickly?”

Е̃ n̆ úm̌ а̀

“T-that is...”

There was absolutely no way I could say, “Because I really wanted to see your naked body and your kukkoro, I struggled desperately and before I realized it, I could use it,” right!?

What kind of sexual harassment would that be!

“E-eh, well... I almost saw utopia and desperately tried to reach the true level of enlightenment, and then I became able to use it...”

“...Is that normal? You are not using any dangerous drugs, are you?”

“N-no, I am not using anything! This is truly my own power.”

Margaret stared at me with an extremely sharp gaze in response to my words, but I had not said anything wrong.

I had only disguised the explanation a little.

“In that case, could you try using it?”

“Yes. I understand.”

For humans, achieving something for the first time is the most difficult part.

If you have succeeded even once, even if you have not mastered it yet, you can understand the sensation.

W e_b n.оv e l̀ E ňū m̂_а̀

The rest is simply repeating it and improving it, and my body had understood the sensation of spreading magic power thinly.

I thinned it as much as I could with my current level of magic manipulation.

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

“How is it?”

“...Amazing. Although it is still rough, Masou is truly active...”

It seemed I had reached the passing mark, so I unconsciously clenched my fist in victory.

Although she said it was still rough, from here on, I could move on to the training stage, not the initial acquisition stage.

E̊n̆u_m̆а̌ . і̃ d̈

Learning something is enjoyable, but the sensation of feeling your own growth is also hard to give up.

“Hah... You really are a genius. It makes me feel pathetic when I remember that I was once called a genius...”

“Eh? Teacher is definitely a genius, you know. It is precisely because I received instruction from Teacher that I was able to reach this point.”

This too is an undeniable fact.

Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!

If that Sword Saint uncle named Albert had come, and if we had bathed together, I swear to God that I definitely would not have been able to use Masou.

It was precisely because my opponent was Margaret that I could endure at that moment, and I have absolutely no interest in that direction.

Ĕ ňǔm̊ а̀.і d̈

“...I see. Thank you for saying that.”

“Eh? I am not trying to comfort Teacher at all. I can truly use Masou like this precisely because you became my teacher.”

“Fufu, Geralt, you are good with words. How many girls do you intend to make cry in the future with that ability?”

There was no way I could say that I planned to make many girls cry for the sake of seeing kukkoro.

For now, I simply laughed to hide it.

“In that case, as a trial, let us have a mock battle while using Masou.”

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

“Eh? Already?”

“Yes. Because if you do not grow accustomed to Masou, I will never be able to teach you techniques. The fastest way to get used to it is to fight while using it.”

“I see... I understand. Then, please guide me.”

I bowed respectfully, then stepped back while holding the wooden sword for practice.

Margaret also took her stance with a wooden sword.

Come to think of it, although I had seen Margaret’s technique before, I had never fought her directly.

Ě n̆ ùm̀a

Although I do not think I can win, I do not want to lose easily.

“The rules are simple. You must continue using Masou during this mock battle. Meanwhile, I am forbidden from using Masou and techniques.”

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

“I see. So this is a battle with a handicap.”

“Do not feel offended. No one can master Masou immediately from the start. In order for you to fight as long as possible and get used to it quickly, we need to apply this handicap. In truth, a teacher would not even hold a sword, so even this means I am acknowledging your ability.”

Yesterday, I acted recklessly, so I did not really notice it, but is using Masou that difficult?

Just using it is difficult, and even after using it, it remains difficult. It really is like a wild horse on a rampage.

However, if I think that I can obtain incredible strength afterward, that is not bad either.

“It is an honor.”

“Now, come.”

“Yes... I am coming!”

While using Masou, I kicked the ground and tried to approach Margaret... but.

Because more strength came out than I expected, I shot too far and flew past Margaret.

W̆e b́n̊ ӧvѐ l̃ Ёn u m̃ ã

I see. This really is difficult to control.

I could not control it because Masou’s effect was too great.

Furthermore, considering Margaret said this was still rough, it should be possible to improve it even further.

This really is... incredibly challenging and worth doing!

This time, I held back my strength and tried to slash.

However, because I held back too much this time, my attack became a little slow.

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

And that was an opening more than sufficient for Margaret.

“You are too naive!”

“Guh...!?”

I managed to parry her attack and keep my distance, but that attack just now was quite dangerous.

Margaret said she wanted me to fight as long as possible so I could get used to it, but in a situation where the opponent does not attack at all, tension cannot possibly arise.

It is precisely by continually experiencing battles on the edge like this that my skills will grow.

“Next, I am coming!”

“Come as you like!”

By moving twice using Masou, I had come to understand the sensation a little. Different from before, this time I approached at full power and swung my sword slash directly at Margaret.

Because my eyes were also strengthened by Masou, my dynamic vision improved, and I managed to plant my foot directly in front of Margaret.

However, that attack too was blocked by her.

Moreover, as if to corner me, Margaret’s kick landed in my stomach.

Ѐ n ŭ m а̇ . ī d̈

“Ugh...!”

I reflexively took a safe falling position, rolled to create distance from Margaret, then immediately stood up and took my stance with my sword.

“Your attacks are too monotonous. Even if you possess great physical power, if you do not have flexibility, it will be useless in battle. If even I can deal with it, you will only become an easy target for those stronger than you.”

What Margaret said was completely correct, and I could not refute it.

I have too little experience in real combat, so my repertoire of feints is too limited, and conversely, I am easily caught by my opponent’s feints.

The current me is merely weak.

“What you say is so correct that I have no words to refute it...”

“Understanding yourself objectively is important. Merely by recognizing that, you possess the qualification to become stronger.”

“I am glad to hear that...”

So that I could fight Margaret for a little longer and absorb more things.

So that I could become a little stronger.

I kicked the ground again.

I approached Margaret with the exact same trajectory as my first attack.

However――

“!? You stopped!?”

While pretending to perform a monotonous attack, I forcibly stopped my feet and shifted my center of gravity backward.

It seemed she had not expected me to be able to insert a feint while using Masou. Not missing the brief opening when Margaret wavered, I swung my sword while shifting my center of gravity.

“What!?”

“Gooooooo!!!”

A dull clinking sound rang out.

It was the sound of the tip of my sword breaking and flying away.

My sword had been stopped by Margaret before it could reach her.

“...I cannot believe you made me use Masou.”

“Ehehe, I tried my best.”

Enů ṁ å .îd

Margaret managed to block my attack in time because she reflexively used Masou.

Considering that until now, I had been thoroughly beaten without Margaret using Masou at all, this could be called a great improvement.

Furthermore, since in the initial rules she said she would not use Masou, the fact that I made her use it means this could be called my victory.

Well, because this was the result of a surprise attack, in reality, Margaret is many times stronger than me.

“You truly surprised me.”

“I only tried hard in my own way.”

Ên.u m̂а̊

“Fufu, although I am still young and do not have much strength, I will guarantee this one thing.”

Saying that, Margaret gently tugged my sleeve and brought her face closer.

For a moment, my heart throbbed because I thought she was going to kiss me, but Margaret whispered softly into my ear.

“You will surely surpass me with ease. And you will surely be able to become stronger than anyone――”

◇◆◇

One month had passed since Margaret became my teacher.

My training in the Akatsuki Style had advanced one step further.

Yes, I had begun learning techniques.

“The basis of the Akatsuki Style is to cover the sword in magic power and add magic. Concentrate as though your sword and body have become one, imagining that you are covering the sword in magic power just like Masou.”

“Y-yes.”

And this turned out to be quite difficult.

After all, the sword is not my body, so handling it is very different from Masou.

Еn u m̆ а

However, if I cannot cover it in non-attribute magic power, it will be impossible for me to fight enemies while adding a specific attribute.

I was made painfully aware of Margaret’s words at the beginning, when she said that learning this would be extremely difficult.

“This is more difficult than Masou. However, as long as you practice attribute transformation, I am sure you will be able to master it easily.”

“As for attribute transformation, I have started to become fairly good at it. At present, the ones I can use somewhat well are fire and wind. I am practicing water and lightning.”

As expected, shame and humiliation are essential elements of kukkoro, and there are many ways to inflict them.

Destroying armor is good, and soaking clothes until they become transparent is also good.

Wӗbǹо v̂.е ĺ Е̄n u_ma

Something that can clearly inflict humiliation and despair is the supernatural power called magic, which cannot be measured by ordinary laws of physics at all.

If I can master this, there will be variation in kukkoro itself, so I want to master it quickly, but life does not always go the way one wishes.

“You really do learn quickly... But if that is the case, I think you can master at least one technique to a certain degree in less than a week.”

“That is something to look forward to.”

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

I tried it by imagining that I was connecting a magic power circuit and treating the sword as though it were a part of my body.

By doing that, the sword was filled with a little magic power, but after seeing Margaret’s example, my magic power looked extremely small.

Ẽn̊ù m̄а

“...It seems my current limit is only this much.”

“But I think a decent amount of magic power has gathered. At this level, it will be weak, but I think the technique can still be activated.”

“Really!”

Enuma ID

It turned out that even if the amount of magic power was very small, the technique could still be activated.

If that is the case, it is human nature to want to try it.

I looked at Margaret with expectant eyes.

“Ugh... do not stare at me with sparkling eyes like that...”

“Please! Teacher! I will also train seriously in covering the sword with magic power!”

“...Hah, you might secretly do it alone anyway... and because I feel responsible for giving you hope, I will teach you one. However, you must continue practicing covering the sword with magic power during training with me, and you are forbidden from practicing techniques when I am not present. Can you obey that?”

“...! Yes! I will obey!”

“......I understand. Then I will teach you.”

All right!

Е num̊а̀

At last, I would also be able to use a technique!

I could hardly wait to learn it from now on.

“I showed you an Akatsuki Style technique before, did I not?”

“Yees, if I am not mistaken, it was Suigetsu Slash... correct?”

“Correct. Well, because that is a very powerful technique, I will teach you a technique one level lower from the same system.”

The technique Margaret showed me before was truly incredible.

Wēbǹ o v̂_е_l E n̂um̄å

Even if it was one level lower, hearing that I could use a technique similar to it made me excited.

“Its name is Suijin Slash. Well, I use water as the example, but as for the attribute, you may use whatever you are skilled with.”

Akatsuki Style techniques performed by covering the sword in attributed magic power have completely different effects depending on what kind of magic power is used to cover it.

If it is fire, it burns. If it is water, its sharpness increases. If it is wind, the number of blades increases and tears things apart. If it is lightning, it shocks and scorches.

By using those things depending on the situation, it becomes possible to perform diverse and powerful attacks.

“Then I will do it with wind.”

Е̂ n̆u m̊а

“Fujin Slash, then. I will show you an example now.”

Margaret brought over a wooden post for test-cutting and took her stance with her sword.

At that moment, the training ground became silent, as though time had stopped.

“Akatsuki Style, Iai Technique, Fujin Slash.”

When Margaret swung her sword, invisible blades split the wooden post and created three lines, dividing it into four pieces.

Humans cannot use release-type magic, but for some reason, magic can be released from magic tools.

In short, by freely granting magic attributes, the Akatsuki Style is like creating an improvised magic tool and combining it with swordsmanship.

Being attacked at close range by magic that keeps changing at will would naturally be unbearable for the opponent.

“Amazing! Teacher!”

“The current you should be able to activate the magic even if you cannot cut with it. First, flow the magic power that has been transformed into the wind attribute into the sword, then swing that sword while clearly imagining that you are creating wind.”

“I understand! I will try it!”

I took my stance with the sword and concentrated.

W e bn̊ ȯv е̃l Éńum̄ а́

I covered the sword in magic power while thinking that I would create wind no matter what.

Then――

“Fujin Slash!”

“Kyaah!?”

Wind was created from my sword.

Not as a blade, but merely ordinary wind.

Ё ǹ.ǔm̌а

Furthermore, Margaret’s clothing was a military uniform with a skirt.

Because the skirt was long, the inside would not be visible if she moved normally, but...

So it was white, huh...

“.........”

“.........”

“...D-did you see?”

Е̄ ń u̇ m̆ а̇

“I-I did not see! Because I was concentrating on the sword, only the wooden post I needed to cut was in my eyes!”

“I did not ask what you saw, you know?”

“Ugh... T-that is...”

Margaret held down her skirt and asked with a reddened face.

There was no way I could say, “Thank you very much! I love that expression!” so I tried pretending not to know, but was this the end of everything!?

Just as I thought that...

“You two~! How about taking a break now~? The cookies are ready~!”

Mother’s voice, like that of a goddess, appeared as though she had truly come to save me.

In an instant, I judged that there was no other way out but this.

“T-Teacher! Let us go! Mother is calling!”

“...Hah... You are right. Let us postpone the interrogation for later.”

I still could not escape!?

Wе̃ bn о v̊_ѐ l̇ Е nu̇ m̆ a

I followed behind Margaret while drooping my shoulders.

Mother was waving her hand with a smile from her seat.

Then the figure being held in Mother’s arms entered my sight, and I ran over.

“Mother! Alice is here too!”

“Fufu, yes. Since she was in a good mood, Mother brought her along.”

Alice is my little sister, who was born not long ago.

W̌е b̂ n̊_о́ v̈еl Е ň u̇m̊а̃

For me, who was an only child in my previous life, my newborn little sister was so adorable that I could hardly stand it.

This training ground has a roof, and the temperature is just right, so it should not be too much of a burden even for a baby.

Well, I think she will be returned to bed soon.

“Hello, Olivia-sama. Alice-chan is here too.”

“Yes, Margaret. Look, Alice, this is Margaret-oneechan.”

Fundamentally, the third daughter of a viscount family would not be permitted to behave like this toward the wife of a marquis, but because Margaret is my teacher, this kind of casual attitude is allowed.

Ѐ n̈ùm̈а̀

“Please sit down, both of you. Today’s cookies are one of Mother’s masterpieces, so I want you to try them.”

“Oh! They look delicious!”

“May I also try some?”

“Of course. Mother would be happy if you told me your thoughts.”

Mother’s hobby is making sweets.

Considering this is a world where nobles personally entering the kitchen is absurd, perhaps Mother is the only noble with a hobby like this.

Thanks to that, I can eat delicious sweets, so for me, it is a benefit.

It seems today’s sweets are cookies.

““Thank you for the food.””

A sweetness that was just right spread inside my mouth.

The choice of black tea was also good and matched the cookies very well.

“They are delicious! Mother!”

Ẽ ň_úm̄ ä

“These really are delicious... Should I also start trying to cook, I wonder.”

“My goodness! Let us make them together next time! That is right! If you would be willing to become Geralt’s wife, Mother would gain a sweets-making companion, so please consider it!”

Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.

Margaret and I nearly sprayed our black tea.

I wanted to ask whether it was all right to say something like that, but Mother was smiling as usual, and I could not read her true intentions from her expression.

Talking about a wife or fiancée at a time like this is something that makes no sense even by the common sense of my previous life. Besides, since I want to freely pursue kukkoro while still young, it would be better for me to stay single, wouldn’t it...?

“U-um...”

W e̊b̄ n оv́ ẽl Е̂ń ǔ.m а

“Mother, saying that directly to her is a little mean. If she is told something like that by Mother, who is the wife of a marquis, she will not be able to refuse.”

“Fufu, you are right. But it is true that Mother wants her to consider it. Right, Margaret?”

“Y-yes...”

It turned into a rather tense situation, but after that, we enjoyed the cookies in a calm atmosphere from beginning to end.

As we chatted and ate, before we realized it, all the cookies were gone.

“Thank you very much, Mother. The cookies were very delicious.”

Е n̂û m а̃ . і̇ ď

“Thank you very much.”

“You are welcome. Now then, Geralt, work hard in your training, all right? Margaret, please guide this child.”

““Yes!””

With that, we resumed our training.

◇◆◇

Then, after spending peaceful days like that, five years passed.

“It has already... been five years, hasn’t it...”

“Time passes quickly. To me, Teacher’s arrival still feels as if it only happened yesterday.”

Five years had passed since Margaret came, and at last, the time for parting was about to arrive.

During those five years, I succeeded in mastering all the techniques of the Akatsuki Style without issue and inherited all the secrets of the school.

Now, I had become strong enough that I could exterminate monsters around here with only one hand.

Well, although I still cannot defeat Margaret.

Е̄ n_u_m_а̀.і̌d

Every member of House Drake came outside to see her off.

Then the girl standing in front of the carriage, with her shining red hair unchanged since childhood, bowed her head.

“Truly... thank you very much for your kindness over such a long time.”

“No, we are the ones who should thank you for training Geralt. Geralt has now become an admirable person as well. Allow me to apologize for my discourtesy at the beginning and convey my gratitude.”

“Not at all. Because Geralt possessed talent, he grew on his own. It was not because of my ability.”

“That is not true. I am certain that Geralt was able to grow this far precisely because you trained him.”

Ŵ eb̄ nov е̊l̂ Еn ŭm а

Father and Margaret exchanged their farewell greetings.

Mother was even shedding tears, perhaps because she felt sad.

After all, Mother loved Margaret as if she were her own child.

My little sister Alice had also grown and could now speak. She called Margaret Meg-nee and adored her deeply.

“Meg-nee... are we going to be apart?”

“Yes. But I am sure we will definitely meet again. Because in the future, I will serve your family.”

Е̇ n̄ ùm̃a.

As long as the faction does not collapse, that will indeed happen indirectly.

The opportunity to meet will surely come on its own.

After the family members other than me finished saying their farewells, it was my turn last.

“Teacher. Thank you very much for everything until now.”

“Really... I never imagined you would master every technique in such a short time. Even I needed much longer.”

“This is the fruit of Teacher’s instruction.”

“Fufu, I may have said this before, but if it is you, you will surely surpass me in a few years. Well, I do not intend to let you surpass me easily.”

Saying that, Margaret smiled.

Margaret, now fourteen years old, had grown into an unrivaled beauty, though her face still retained a slight trace of childishness.

In addition, although her body was still in the process of developing, she had extraordinary proportions for her age.

Perhaps marriage proposals would increase dramatically compared to the past.

“I look forward to seeing what kind of swordsman you become in the future.”

Ēn ŭ ḿ ä

“Yes. We will definitely meet again.”

“Yes, that is a promise. Then, take good care of yourself, Geralt.”

After saying that, Margaret climbed into the carriage.

The carriage slowly began moving, gradually growing farther away.

I continued waving my hand toward Margaret.

“Teacher! Please take good care of yourself!”

Teacher gently waved back at me――

~Margaret’s Side~

“Hah... I can’t see him anymore, huh...”

I unconsciously murmured to myself inside the carriage.

The figure of my beloved student, who had continued waving his hand to me, could no longer be seen.

Ē n̄ ū m̄а́. і̇ ď

Suddenly, I was struck by a feeling of loneliness that was difficult to put into words, as though a hole had opened in my chest.

“Ahaha... I am weak, aren’t I...”

Tears slowly flowed down my cheeks.

We would definitely meet again.

Even though I knew that, sadness was still sadness.

And yet, I had not cried when it was decided that I would leave House Cartwright and live at the Drake estate to teach a student.

That family was so warm. It truly felt like a real family.

“...But I do not have time to cry, do I?”

I wiped away the flowing tears and looked straight ahead.

Geralt had truly worked hard over these past several years.

He showed me so much growth, gave me irreplaceable memories, and gave me the happiness of being a teacher.

I truly feel that he was a student far too precious for someone like me.

Е́_n̈ ũḿа̇

Precisely because of that, I want to continue being a strong and cool teacher so Geralt can proudly boast about me.

“I also have to work hard so I do not lose to Geralt.”

Soon, the entrance examination for the military academy will begin.

Five years later, Geralt will also enter the military academy.

At that time, I will already have graduated, but I absolutely must not let him hear any embarrassing rumors about me.

I must work hard so that rumors of me being a cool senpai reach that child’s ears.

W_е̃bnoṽ ël Еṅ ûṁӓ

As your teacher, and as your senpai, I will show you that I can still grow even further. I only need to endure for a few years... so... we can definitely meet again, right...

I imagined the figure of my precious student, who was like family to me, and unconsciously formed a smile.

The tears gathering at the corners of my eyes were proof of weakness, and precisely because of that, I could become stronger.

See you again, Geralt――
