The Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

CH 9

After I played with Lily, I was yelled at by Alisa and the ducal servants when they saw her rather dirty dress, and I was laughed at by the father and the duke after the meeting, after the meeting, and was told that the Duke and Lily would be going home soon.

"Bye bye!" The Duke and the others left after saying a distant goodbye and the graceful greeting they gave me at first.

Then I went back to the mansion and went to the salon as my father ordered, where he sipped his tea and told me with a relieved expression on his face, “The engagement is over. The engagement is now official. Lily is officially your bride from now on”.

"I'm thrilled. …… ”

He patted his chest as he said that with a satisfied expression on his face.

"What, are you in love with her?"

“I won't fall in love with her all of a sudden, even though she's so cute. It's just that she's the Duke's daughter. Good I can know him, but if his engagement fails, it will be my fault.”

"What's? you're just a kid, why do you care about that?"

“ Anyway, you're getting married. You're lucky you don't have to worry about your future wife.”

I would be proud to have such a cute bride.

"You should thank me for finding you such a beautiful bride" she joked, and I laughed and thanked her.

I laughed and thanked him. Well, it was my power that won the girl's heart.

"My son. You are a real charm."

“You praise me too”.

"Ha ha ha."

I knew that father, who joked a lot, was actually a great man.I asked Alisa and the other servants, my mother, and sometimes her, I asked, and I also read the books in her study to find out more. According to him, he was the strongest of the four generals, also he was a hero who defeated demons when he was young. He was the commander of the King's Guard Knights, one of the three most powerful divisions in the empire, and, he was one of only eight S-rank warriors in the empire.

There is no shortage of anecdotes, but they all seem to be true. He sounds like the hero of a story, but it's strange that this man is my own father.

Well, I guess that's why a high-ranking noble like Duke Bernstein would willingly ask for an engagement. The people around me, including the great nobles, had decided that it would be beneficial for them to have a relationship with a man named Karlheinz and the Farenheit border noble family.

I will inherit a border family like that in the future. I must be strong so as not to be laughed at for being the seventh son of my parents, and so that I can protect a beautiful fiancee like Lily with my own strength.

"I'll practice."

"Now? Day start dark.”

"Don't worry. I'll be back before dinner.”

“As the eldest child of the border family, it is very good for you to work hard to improve yourself, but do not get too carried away and damage the park. It's a big place, but it's still ancestral ground.”

"'Hmm, alright, I'll be careful."

“What's with that soft answer ……? Well, good luck with that. Someday I'll teach you a lesson.”

"really? I'll look forward to it.”

After saying that, I headed towards the backyard. My backyard is very large. From the forest where my secret base is located, the small garden, to the densely forested mountains, it's all within the land of the Farenheit border family.

This is my own training ground where I have been training for the past few years.

✳︎

It is a small mountain about 100 meters above sea level, about a kilometer from the Fahrenheit residence towards the backyard. It was a small mountain, about 100 meters high, and as unique as you would find in the mountains in rural Japan, but it was a mountain that made me stronger than the others.

There is an animal path that leads from the forested area from the foot of the mountain to the mountain slope. Even though I call it the path of a beast, the one who created this path is none other than myself.

I followed the animal path until I arrived at a point slightly above the mountain slope. There, I found an open space the size of an elementary school gym. What is unique about it is that there are countless holes in the ground, trees, cliffs, rocks, and everywhere. Some of the holes were tens of centimeters in diameter, while others were several meters long. These holes were the result of my four years of training, and it was a testament to my strength.

…… Let's do another set today.

. I took a deep breath and calmed my mind. The next moment, I jumped.

With a thud, the ground where I was standing cracked instantly.I jumped several meters at once, and instead of dropping my feet onto the ground, I stomped on the tree branches along the way and jumped again.

I jump over trees, crumble the ground, run up cliffs, jump over boulders, and climb mountains. In less than a few seconds, I ran like a ninja up a steep slope that was obviously not suitable for climbing.

"That's it!"

A few minutes later, I returned to the starting point. The sweat I let out was only slight, and my breathing was not disturbed.

I've been doing this for a while now.I started this training at the beginning of last year, when it had been allowed out freely. Back then, it took me a whole day to drive around the mountain until nightfall, so I was already quite an adult.

By the way, at the age of six, my physical ability was 42. Compared to my magic power of 23298, which is a ridiculous number, it is a very ordinary and insignificant number. It may not be much different from other six-year-olds.

So why would I be able to perform such a superhuman move? It's not that six-year-olds in this world are superhumans or anything like that. This is one of my four years of training.

“……!

"I'll be back."

I held my fist. Over ten meters from the cliff, a number of holes, ranging in size from a few tens of centimeters to a meter, appeared.

“….. Okay, it becomes easier to fire a series of [shocks]. The punch accuracy is perfect.”

Yes, the miracle that allowed me to accelerate explosively, jump and bounce, and make holes in remote places is my unique skill, Shock.I have learned the tricks of the trade from my mother, I have learned, and I have been able to use this special magic, Shock, in addition to the usual non-attribute magic of the "Magical Compendium".

The effect of "schok" is quite simple.it produces a physical or magical shock from my body at the desired strength and time. It did not require magic circles, runes, or other magic-like chants to be activated. All I have to do is think about it like I'm going to move my hands or my feet.

Now, I can use [shock] naturally like I can move my arms and legs, but when I first use magic, it's hard. It's like riding a bike with the left and right handlebars upside down. If I'm not careful, my power will explode and I'll get hurt. Ever since I was a child, my mother had been very worried about me, and she was often angry with me.

In the end, no matter how many times I told him, he would not stop accompanying me to practice, so he started to pay attention to me the entire time. Thanks to him, it took me over two years to finally master the basics of magic.

From then on, I came to this remote mountain to practice increasing my accuracy and magic power.I have so much magic power that I cannot use all of them, so when I don't do anything, I practice all the time. Unlike when I was living on Earth, I could feel that the more effort I put in, the stronger I got, and I enjoyed my daily practice a lot.

However, I started to get a little bored with the monotonous daily life. It was time for a change.I was never allowed to leave my yard, but now that I am six years old, I will ask my father if I can go outside

I want to expand my world.
