Chapter 77: William's Healing, And Awareness of the Importance of the Foundations of Strength

Owen's treatment ended quickly and William's wounds were completely healed. Even so, the Life Magus advised the red-haired boy to take a short break and avoid strenuous activity.

"I'm too complacent" William muttered as he subconsciously rubbed his chest. Although he did not expect that Kingsley would use magic in their duel, he should have considered this possibility.

And William was more regretful because the foundation of his physical strength was so weak, even William did not have the right fighting techniques other than using his magic.

that was why William could be injured quite badly even though the System helped him.

His opponent was the Magical Swordsman. Someone who can use swords and magic. William understood that the main reason why Kingsley had not used magic before in their duel was because of his pride.

Therefore, William thought that his opponent would only use martial skills and not use his Ice Magic.

"Young Master, I hope you learned something from this lesson," Helen said as she walked beside Ella who was currently carrying William on her back.

"I understand, Aunt Helen." William sighed. “I got a very painful lesson.”

“It's great that you learned this lesson early, Young Master,” Helen pat William on the foot. "If it happens in a real battle then you will lose your life."

'Maybe losing my magic is a blessing in disguise.' William breathed a second time. 'It made me realize how lacking I really am. I better build my foundation properly and learn some martial arts.'

“Meeeeeeee.”

“You're right, Ma. I will strive to become stronger.”

“Meeeeh.”

Return to Ainsworth Residence

“If not for William, Lont City would probably have suffered the same fate as other villages and cities in the Western Region,” James said with a smile. “You should have seen how amazing he was when he fought against Strathmore Thunder Horned Wolf.”

James bragged about William's remarkable achievements to his guests when he received his treatment. He wasn't worried about his grandson's injury because Owen was the best healer he knew. Although William broke some of his ribs during the duel, it was not a life-threatening injury.

As long as he was still breathing, Owen could easily heal and make him as before.

Est listened to James' story with interest. After the old man finished his story, it was the young man's turn to tell the Lord of Lont how William saved his life from the Mountain Troll. Est also tells James about William's sacrifice in a test of courage.

“If he could still use his magic, that disciple of the Misty Sect would not be able to touch a single strand of his hair,” Est commented with a wry smile.

"I understand ..." James frowned. “So that's the reason why he looks different compared to when he left the residence. She lost her magic power.”

"I'm sorry, it's my fault that William ended up like that." Est lowered her head in embarrassment. “Because I am too weak, he must use the Forbidden Spell to give us a chance of winning.”

“Est, you don't have to worry about William.” James commented with a smile. “That boy always did something dangerous. Perhaps, this incident would help bring him down and make him not too careless. Sometimes, I worry about him because he is getting stronger at a very fast speed.”

“Isn't being strong good?” Est asked.

James stopped and looked at Est with praise. “Unlike my stupid grandson, I can say that you are someone who trained at a very young age. Your surname is Newmont, right?”

“... Yes,” reply Est. He wanted to tell James his full name, but he resisted the urge to do so. There were some things he could not share with others.

“If I'm not mistaken, it's the surname of a noble who comes from the Kingdom of Valeria,” James looked at Est with a judging look. "Are you probably from Valeria?"

“... My mother is from Valeria,” Est replied. “Currently, I live in Hellan Kingdom.”

James nodded and decided not to pry any further. “Stay, you guys really beat Terrorhand? That was so amazing. If this news were to come out, you would definitely be treated with respect by the Royal Family. ”

“A-I don't need such treatment,” Est stuttered. "Mr Ainsworth, please, don't tell anyone about this."

Herman who was standing behind Est lowered his head, “I also asked Lord Ainsowrth not to tell anyone about this. Young Master is someone who does not like to be the center of attention.”

James gave Est an understanding look and nodded his head in receipt. He would talk about William's embarrassing moments during his childhood when he sensed his grandson's presence near the residence.

"Grandfather, I'm back!" William walked into the living room with a smile.

"Welcome back, how's your injury?" James asked.

"It's healed, but I can't do anything heavy for a few days" William replied as he sat next to his grandfather.

Ella lay on the floor next to William and rested her head on her baby's lap. William lovingly stroked his head, while his mother closed her eyes in satisfaction.

“You two are very close,” goda Est. "I've never seen someone treat a goat like you, William."

“Mama Ella is not an ordinary goat,” William corrected her. “She is my Mom. The one who raised me since I was a baby. I drank milk from him all this time."

“Meeeeh.” Ella bleated as if reminiscing as she took care of William.

“Ah that reminds me, how long will you stay in Lont?” ask William. "I still haven't given you a rural tour."

“Yah..” Est glances at Herman and Nana. Actually, they can't stay long. They had already delayed their return to the capital by escorting William back to Lont. Even so, Est didn't want to just leave.

“Young Master,” Nana gives Est an encouraging smile. “It's okay to be a little selfish. We can stay for two days.”

“Thank you, Nana,” Est smile. Her smile was so dazzling that, for a moment, William thought that she was actually very beautiful and not handsome. Of course, this thought only lasted a moment.

“Because all of you are friends of William then you will be treated as honored guests. Helen, please prepare a guest room for Est and her friends,” James orders.

"As you wish Sir," Helen respectfully lowered her head and left the living room to fulfill James' orders.

While waiting for their room to be prepared, James continued to tell her about William's childhood. At first, the stories were about William's remarkable achievements in Lont City. However, it doesn't last long and James begins to recount William's embarrassing moments.

The red-haired boy begged his grandfather to stop humiliating him in front of the guests, but James did not care about his feelings. Because of this, Est and Ian constantly tease the poor boy until William runs out of the living room in shame, followed by his Mama Ella, who is overheated on his heels.
