Repeatedly, Damiyan asked Aeneas to be his teacher. However, Aeneas simply replied, "Learn on Grandpa Fang,!"
After that, the man returned like a stone, ignoring whatever Damiyan said, completely unable to communicate, in stark contrast to Sanubari. It was easy to build a conversation with the boy. The three-year-old under Damiyan was very interactive.
The difference made Damiyan question Sanubari's status as Aeneas' son. Were it not for their very similar faces, Damiyan would probably never have admitted Sanubari had a blood relationship with Aeneas.
"Daddy!"
Damiyan laughed at Sanubari who was behind the glass. In there, Sanubari clamored, running to and fro, avoiding the tennis balls that attacked blindly.
"Hit the ball! Don't run, let alone use your body to block the ball!" Fang scolded her with a bully.
"Who is the one who hits the ball with his body,? The balls are too fast. Get me out of here, Cake!" No matter how hard Sanubari tried to escape, the balls could not be avoided.
When he swung the stick, another ball rushed to hit him before he could dodge. His body feels pain. No matter how many balls hit his body, the balls are still fired from the opposite direction. Sanubari had slipped the ball as well, but the shot was still not stopped when it fell.
"Bring your bat, Sanu! Swing around!" Fang kept shouting.
"I don't want to be an athlete!" Sanubari yelled back. When his mouth was wide open, a ball struck his mouth. His teeth were pounding the ball. Sanubari reflexes crouched down, leaving his back to be hit by the ball. Think of it as a massage.
Damiyan. He enjoyed the fun spectacle while eating potato chips. He recalled Aeneas' heroic actions back then.
If Sanubari had been there at that time, he would have died. The speed of the tennis balls is not even comparable to the bullet rate.
After that event, they returned to Fang's house. Vladimir, Damiyan's parents, Aeneas, and Kelana go elsewhere, while Damiyan is entrusted to Fang again. At that time, Damiyan underwent similar training with Sanubari. Aeneas also set an example. Just once, but Damiyan remembered it clearly. Sanubari's father bulldozed all the balls that came to him. Not a single blow missed. The ball that hit the body did not exist. It was an incredible speed that Damiyan admired.
While watching Aeneas' demo, Damiyan asks Kelana about Aeneas' actions in Labucona's lair. At that moment, Kelana replied, "Mr Gafrillo tested you and the sword happened to be there as a reward for your success."
"Test what? He's just like the one who doesn't care."
"That's what Mr. Gafrillo looks like. I think he saw something from you. So, he deliberately let some opponents escape his reach. Just try to keep quiet as he commanded, the sword won't be handed to you."
From that day on, Damiyan understood. Every time he obtained a huge reward from Aeneas straight away, he must have completed the test Aeneas had given him without his knowledge. It happened several times throughout his career. Aeneas did refuse to become a teacher, but occasionally gave unexpected challenges instead.
The first gift from Aeneas was still Damiyan saved. The sword Aeneas had given him back then was extremely sharp. Damiyan had used it repeatedly, but its sharpness had not diminished at all even though it had never been sharpened.
During his time with Sanubari, he had never used it. For reasons of practicality, Damiyan left the sword with an animatronic. When needed, Damiyan only needed to call out to him.
"It's not training to be a boxer, Sanu! Stand up!" exclaiming Fang who reciprocated the batting throw.
The wood hit the glass. If there were no barrier glass, the beater would have already hit Fang's face. Sanubari stood with a sour face.
"Get me out of here!"
Sanubari ignored the balls hitting his back. He stared fiercely at Fang standing across the glass and the pleasant Damiyan relaxed, lamenting his hitter could not break the glass.
Fang let out a loud breath, so loud that his voice sounded Damiyan. The old man picked up the remote, then pressed a few buttons. The tennis ball shot stopped completely. The balls roll themselves towards the storage area. The door is sliding open.
"What kind of job is this?" sanubari protest with breathless breath. He raised goggles. Without it, Sanubari's eyes may have been swollen or his vision may have blurred due to being repeatedly hit by a ball.
"It's not a job." Fang sat down next to Damiyan.
"What?" Sanubari glared, annoyed at being played with, "with so much debt, Grandpa wasted my time! I have to work, Cake! Working to raise money."
"It's as valuable as working to make money."
"What is valuable? This isn't a job. Grandpa's not gonna pay me for this torture, is he?" Sanubari was upset. Coming home from the rice field, she thought Fang would take her to do another job. Instead of the work he obtained, Sanubari was instead taken to the underground gym.
"I'll assume your debt is 50% if you hit all the balls, and it might pay off if you complete my other challenge. Hows it? Still want to do it?" Fang smiled.
Sanubari was tempted by the offer. However, given how difficult it was to hit two balls in a row without being hit, he pouted. "But, that's impossible. Give it a more reasonable challenge!"
"Nothing is impossible. Your father alone can complete his mastery in seven days."
"Dad? Grandpa knows my dad?" Sanubari's eyes widen.
Damiyan nudged Fang's leg. He told me to pretend I didn't know about Sanubari, but Grandpa fell flat. Damiyan stopped chewing, while Fang smiled awkwardly.
"That ..your face ...your face reminds me of someone. So, I thought you must have something to do with him. From your age, I'm guessing you must be his son. Name's Gafrillo. Aeneas Baldovino Gafrillo. He used to be my student."
"Father Aeneas is my father." Sanubari. He suddenly smiled. "So, Grandpa Fang knows papa?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Call him for me! Papa has a lot of money. He bought me a plane. So, it must be easy for him to pay off all my debts here, then buy me a ticket home." Sanubari. He looked expectantly at Fang. This way, he no longer bothered to work.
"It's been a long time, Sanu. When he was young. Now, I don't have his contacts. So, sorry, I can't connect it to you."
"Good excuse, Grandpa!" inner Damiyan.
Damiyan has repeatedly read Sanubari's biography made by Kelana. He has also discussed with Aeneas's counsellor.
"Young Master Sanu is a typical who easily gets bored with the lesson when he feels that the lesson is useless for his purpose. He also likes to run. So, give him a purpose and a reason to settle down, keep away from other goals and the knowledge that will redistribute his decision! When he has other goals or knows how to get away from somewhere, it could be that he will forget the training you planned on him, then secretly run away. In the past, he had lived for a long time with Grandpa Canda because he felt he owed his helpers a favor. You know for yourself, don't you? He also wanted to stay a long time with Abrizar because he had a goal that he felt could be achieved only when with the blind man."
For that, Damiyan engineered Sanubari's debt. Once Fang mistakenly replies, Damiyan understands that Sanubari will actually leave. Inwardly, Damiyan threatened Fang. "Just look at Grandpa that Sanu has escaped because of your senile mouth!"
"Then lend me money! Grandpa's gonna know papa. If you're afraid I'm cheating, Grandpa can come to you."
"I don't know where he lives. For a long time, we were not communicating. Besides, you're a man. Be a real man and fulfill your responsibilities! Don't throw responsibility at someone else! Relying on the wealth of parents is by no means the attitude of a real man. You slackers! You do not deserve to be called a man at all, nor do you deserve to be called a woman. You're even worse than a girl. Always whining for a loan just to make your life easier."
Sanubari's heart was provoked by Fang's words. Both of his hands were tightly clenched. The water hardens.
"I will definitely pay off all my debts with my own hands!" Sanubari's tone is rising. He left with his feet twitching. His clutter sounded loud. Her ears were hot hearing Fang's scorn. The old man was so spicy, so spicy that Sanubari burned his mouth.
