The Lawrence Family Rescue

CHAPTER 24. Training With Grandpa

The window curtain opened, the morning sunlight was now starting to dazzle my eyes. I felt disturbed because of the light entering my room. With consciousness not yet fully gathered, I faintly saw a woman standing before me. That familiar figure started calling me up. “Nona Aurel, miss Aurel Ishana said that morning.

“Ishana, can I sleep in 5 minutes? My eyes are so heavy.” I said in a limp tone.

“No miss, miss need to get up now. Miss will do exercises with master today.” Sahut Ishana while tidying up my bed.

Hearing Ishana's words surprised me and immediately jumped out of my bed. It was fortunate that Ishana caught me so much that she did not fall when she jumped out of bed. “Nona carefully.” Ishana said in a panicked tone.

“Sorry Ishana, I surprised you. How could I forget my promise of training with grandfather?” I try to gather energy after waking up.

“Iyaa, let me help prepare.” Sahut Ishana after finishing making my bed.

Ishana helped me get ready. After some time passed, I was finally done. Today I trained in a white shirt and light brown shorts to make my movements easier.

“Aurel are you ready?” Ask my grandfather when he comes to me.

“Already grandpa. Aurel is very impatient.” I answered excitedly.

Grandfather's gaze was fixed on the sword that was in my hand. The silver-colored sword that was a gift from my father. “Aurel is that your sword?” Ask grandpa to me.

“Iyaa grandpa was a gift from dad a few weeks ago.” I said as I played the sword in my hand.

“Ohh so.” Grandpa understood.

"Grandpa we'll practice where?” I asked by following Grandpa's steps.

“Hmm...what if in the backyard?” Ask grandpa back.

“Bby grandpa.” Sahutku.

We walked towards the backyard through the main corridor of the residence. On the ceiling of the corridor were various kinds of mythological paintings that fascinated me. “Aurel do you like it?” Grandpa asked without looking at me.

“Iyaa, look beautiful.” My heart kept staring up.

We finally reached the backyard. There is water and various trees that surround this park. The air there is quite cool and the conditions are favorable to practice.

At the beginning of the training grandfather taught me how to flow the aurora into the sword, exactly as my father taught me. At this stage I don't have the slightest trouble. After that, Grandpa taught me a new way to control the aurora. Grandfather poured his aura into the sword he was holding. From quite a distance away, grandfather was able to slash through trees without making any movement. I look so amazed. Grandfather directed me to try what he had exemplified.

I tried to cast my aura on the sword that was in my grasp, just like my father taught me. After feeling enough, I swung the sword towards the target in front. The aurora I let out shot forward, then reflected back towards me. Grandfather who saw that immediately panicked and tried to protect me. Grandfather tried to fend off the aurora with his sword. A great bang rang out which made everyone who was in the residence feel its tremors.

A bodyguard came to us in shock at the bang. “Master and miss are you okay? What happened?” Asked the guard with a breath of breath.

“We are practicing aurora, Aurel's aurora bounces and collides with my aurora.” Obviously the grandfather was to the bodyguard earlier.

Grandfather carried me and checked if there were any injuries due to the incident or not. Grandfather looked at me with worry, hoping I didn't get any injuries. “Aurel are you okay?” Ask Grandpa with a worried face.

When the cluck was busy checking my body condition, my eyes were fixed on the scratches on grandfather's cheek. Scratches of about 7 cm it gives off a little blood. “Grandfather, you're hurt.” Panicked saying.

I asked the bodyguard earlier, to take medicine for grandfather. I took a handkerchief out of my pocket to wash my grandfather's blood while waiting for the bodyguard to arrive. A moment passed by the bodyguard had arrived with the medicine box in his hand. “This phone is the cure.” Said the bodyguard by handing over the medicine box that was in his hands. After treating grandfather, the bodyguard left with the medicine box.

“Aurel let's start training back.” Grandpa said after I finished treating him.

“Ayooo grandpa.” Answer excited.

We rehearsed, grandfather taught me to control the aurora so that the auroras released could be as I wished. Grandfather explained that having great power is indeed a pride, but if you can not control all it will be in vain. Control of the aurora is also important to maintain the safety of yourself and those around you. Grandpa didn't want this to happen again and it's gonna hurt me.

“Do Aurel understand?” Ask grandpa by continuing to train me.

“Pahramps.” My heart excitedly.

“Aurel in the future what do you want to be?” Ask grandpa curiously.

“Ingin to be a battle commander.” Answer me innocently.

“You want to devote your life like your father?” Ask grandpa back.

“Yes, seeing dad seems so cool.” Answer excited.

Grandfather just laughed at my answer which he thought was so innocent. By continuing to practice grandfather realized the pendant I had was shining. “Aurel what happened with your lionti?” Grandpa asked when he realized the pendant that accidentally came out of my shirt was shining.

I stopped my practice and stared at what was going on with the pendant that grandfather gave me. This locket is now shining and I feel an energy flowing into my body. By continuing to stare at the pendant, I realized that my body did not feel tired even though it had been 2 more hours of training with grandfather. “Does this stone give me energy?” I heard the murmur from Grandpa.

Grandpa came closer and started touching my pendant. After feeling the aurora coming out of this pendant, grandfather concluded that this stone provides energy by absorbing energy in nature.

“Ohh so how it works. Do all the stones, work like that?” I'm confused.

“Each stone has its own characteristic. Depending on the type and aurora in it.” Grandpa obviously to me.

“Like grandfather's aurora stone can work as a protector even when grandfather is unaware of any danger.” Grandpa so I can understand.

“Ohhh so..” My heart is beginning to understand.

I stared at the sword in Grandfather's hand, there was a tiger carving at the end of his sword grip. “Grandfather, Aurel wants to have a carving in the sword Aurel.” I said with a glare fixed on the sword in my hand.

Grandfather took the sword that was in my hand and started to notice the little sword. “Grandfather knows there is a great engraver in this area.” Grandpa said that made me happy.

“Aurel want to make engraving what?” Ask grandpa curiously.

“Mrand.” My answer made grandfather go silent for a moment.
