It's been 3 months since I'm 2 years-old.
And my life is still lively as ever since I started to join my family in their jobs on light work days. And if both mom and dad don't have a free day I stay with Lilla. Who looks from time to time on me. And I occasionally when staying home either try to improve my gravity magic in secret or continue training on swordsmanship in the garden. Of course not very tiresome training like the ones dad training me on. But, not weak on level either. it's good for both my grip and muscles but not stamina draining ones.
Also 2 weeks ago dad while giving me very light spars that he started them 1 month ago he suddenly smiled and called a stop for the spar and asked me to do the same move again 'arm chop' technique and after I done it perfectly he smiled a proud smile and told me from now on I'm beginner level in Sword god style and from now on he will focus in water god style until I become beginner level their too. In here I'm missing the skill 'parry' to do it perfectly. The problem is his body is too big to give me a chance to do the skill the right way. Giving me an unsolvable headache. When he is fighting me he compares my height with the goblins. It's not my problem that my height is 50 cm. (20 inch). Barely my hands with the sword reaching his knees. Fighting someone 4 times my size isn't a great experience.
As for gravity magic, not much updates except now I can use it both efficiently and mana draining and it's my new fixed way of wasting mana. In an efficient way I can use it for hours and with my right hand can lift 15 kg (33 lbs). Freely without any problems. And with full concentration I can control this part freely as telekinesis.
As for gravity magic itself I can now control my fly. But I can't move afterwards. Because, I still need a way to push myself around. And I'm afraid of using wind magic with the tight space my room can offer me. To be smashed into the wall. This will be comparable to the death of being squashed by a truck. So, because I don't want to repeat the experience I'm delaying learning flight magic until I'm fully controlled over gravity magic and told my family so they will allow me to use it in the garden.
As for attack magic, nothing new except now I can control the size of my spells perfectly and I can do the shape after that to my liking and shape I can imagine is reachable with my almost unlimited mana in this part of magic. I still hadn't touched intermediate class magic, I'm afraid of what the names of the magic will do. (I don't want to kill someone in my family by mistake and if not my family I think can either destroy a whole house or kill a whole family if they were in the target zone).
As for my control on speed I can slow it down to the point it's comparable to the normal speed of an average human running back on Earth. As for my learning to use my four limbs after the first time I perfected it, I copied all the avatar 's entrance stances and then said 'avatar the air bender' in English. Mom the first time she caught me after finishing this laughed and said finally acted my age. But when she found me not smiling to her she said sorry for the 359th time. But, I still didn't fully forgive her. (I tried to change the subject gladly, mom isn't the type to focus on magic happening around the house and that day I did the stances without using magic). Also worth mentioning now I can summon one spell per finger in both my hands and one per foot in my legs.
My healing magic is still the same, no change whatsoever. Still, the normal healing spell I use doesn't do much of effect and if I want it to affect me I had to do the intermediate one with overcharged mana to do the same effect as normal healing of mom. (When I'm telling them about my secrets of magic I will ask mom to tell me how she does healing magic perfectly like that).
As for my mana control and reserves they are increasing to a dangerous level. That I need to use gravity magic to push them to their limits. Also I started to feel my mana like a natural part of my body. Now I can say I'm 100% sure of its structure and how it works. Still there's too many things that need to be explained to me. So, I can call myself fully understanding how mana works. (Also after I get full grasp of magic I think of teaching Anna and Sylphiette after taking both of my and their parents permission).
As for my social life it skyrocketed compared to my past state and my past life because now me and Sylphy are close friends. (That's what she asked me to call her). And She is no longer timid or shy around me. And Mr Laws is the one who is most happy about this. (He was scared that because of her green-hair she would be isolated and apparently the whole village except for me is treating her with a little bit of distance).
As for Anna, me and her what you call normal childhood friends we are close but not as Sylphy because two things first is that she has other friends other than me and Sylphiette. (I had to do a big job to convince Sylphy to stop being timid and go play with Anna). The second thing Anna isn't that open to me because she prefers to befriend girls.
Also I asked mom and dad to make me meet more friends, preferably boys, to avoid awkward situations. (Sylphy and Anna still laugh when they see me and when they tell each other about our first meeting). And it ended miserably because the boys my age are all older than me the youngest one is Theo who is older than me by 6 months and the oldest one in my age group will be Arlo who is older than me by a year and 8 months.
The problem is not around their age, the problem is they are friends with the boy Somal who is a troublemaker. They break windows of the neighbours and always make chaos and usually get hurt. So, it's not the best group to be friends with. The only one of them that me and him are on good terms with is Arlo, who happens to be the doctor's son.
Not mentioning my other problem with Somal is his mother. She kinda ruined his character by never trying to raise him and kinda more focused on reaching dad. And when I asked about her husband, apparently he died just days before dad reached the village in the hands of monsters, making her a widowed mother. (I almost blew up my facade of a cute kid and was going to tell her to leave dad alone but decided against it).
Also another problem is that I'm the youngest child who is playing in the whole village. The children of the village are either older than me. The nearest kid my age will be Sylphy who is older than me by more than a month. Making me with my intelligent behaviour and well-mannered the centre of attention. (That's quite the opposite of what Lilla advised me with).
Also most of the time playing will be me and Sylphy because Anna helps her mother in planting the field she is responsible for. Making me and Sylphy almost always stuck with duo games. (Apparently her family is gathering money to buy Anna freedom in the future).
It's not my problem but apparently since they are something like reeves they are born not having freedom like slaves but they are treated better and if they gathered enough money for her they want to buy her freedom with well being for the rest of her life. And they want to do it before she reaches 15, what you call an adult in this world and they say they have to finish this in 11 years to be safe.
For every member they need 6 to 8 silver Asuran coins to buy their freedom. The problem is that after buying her freedom they can't work the same work and can't use the house you had and of course you can't ask the noble you used to work for a new job.
So they are planning to gather enough money for her which is 1 Asuran gold coin for every one. Almost 10 years of Mr Smith salary with the essential things they need to buy and with Mrs Ena hard work they are trying to buy the whole family freedom with enough money for both the Smiths to retire and safe house with a small shop or something like that to be their source of income.
The only difference that happened after the story I eavesdropped to hear and with the combination of mom, dad and the Smiths talking. The conclusion is.〔I hate nobility. And how the people encourages them not to change with not refusing and staying the same〕
As for how my life is going to become like this and it appears it's the perfect cycle to be stuck on.
Early in the morning after waking up me and dad start with laps around the house then Lilla calls us for breakfast where after the breakfast me and dad go with my training with after them some light spars. (Where I wish to attack him with magic to stop his teasing mouth).
He never stops teasing me that both my friends are girls and how close Sylphy is with me. He calls me a true Greyrat and says I took his advice well and continues to give me more advice while sparing.
We finished before noon. Where we both took a bath and finally mom allowed me to bathe alone. Using the fact I'm sad from them. Since, the cross dressing incident. After I finish bath I have one of four options, the first is that. If mom is free at the clinic I will accompany her to the clinic. (Because of that I gathered new healing spells I now know 2 intermediate detoxify magic and 5 beginner level).
The ones of detoxify intermediate one works for poison and its name is X-Antidote barely working with alcohol poisoning but removes all the normal poisons your daily life can encounter and normal antidote won't work. And as for the other one works for removing harmful substances from the aimed target. It's not that strong. So mom usually needs to do it twice for it to work versus something like monster meat poison etc.. As for beginners levels it has all around spells and with me silent casting I can one shot all of them like one spell making me a perfect beginner detoxify magic users. (But still mom's normal detoxify spell works 1000 times better than me).
With mom I usually watch her and we talk with each other and I dropped the cold shoulder I was giving her after a week after the incident but not 100% like how I first used to treat her.
We return before lunch by an hour where after that mom helps Lilla. (I stopped calling her Ms Lilla since the incident). in making dinner. And usually if the ingredients are found and mom is in a good mood she makes a pie or a cake.
As for the second option is to go with dad I usually meet either Mr Laws or the other 3 hunters in the watchtowers or I meet the reeves in their standpoints and the ones I'm close to are Mr Smith and Mr Bragg. Also to me Pete is like a friend more than dad's colleague. Also since he isn't very tall and still not that strong in swordsmanship he is the perfect spar partner if I want to compare him with dad. And usually me and Sylphy and Anna play if Mr Laws and Mr Smith allow it.
We return right on lunchtime after and if we arrived earlier that will be training time for me. That's helped me a lot to get stronger in Sword faster than usual because I do triple time training of what normal people do.
As for the third and forth options, if mom and dad are busy I either stay home and train on sword or go and play with Sylphy and Anna. And if on rare occasions where they come home and stay until lunch mom usually scares them by her overwhelming behaviour. (They asked me in secret to tell them to escape before lunch by an hour or so because they are too scared of her clingy side).
After lunch I usually take my note of the 5 books in the house. Dad no longer minds seeing me with the magic book because of how serious I'm in sword training.
Until dinner it's usually either reading or talking with the family and if not both will be helping mom in the garden. (I stopped trying to help Lilla since the dress incident. I'm more angry at her because I asked for her help and she answered my pleading by giving mom the hair tie).
The dinner is always heavy food and the juice dad drinks have something on it because he always laughs like a drunk after drinking it making me stop even considering asking him for some
I always empty my mana reserves before sleeping. I do it because it helps me to sleep and not to hear the hangover in the main bedroom.
My life has become eventful but I still hate the photographic memory I'm born with because they forget to close (the damn door). Maybe I should calm down. I should also probably watch out where my eyes are aimed and never look at the main bedroom as long as I can't see both of my parents out of it.
While I was sighing when I was playing with Sylphy she stopped suddenly.
"Rudi, is there something wrong?" (Yes, she started to call me that too after realising that the whole village was calling me that and I didn't feel like correcting everyone and telling them my real name).
"No Sylphy, I'm just thinking we should probably go and see if Anna is free. and maybe, go play with her?"
"Why is that?" (Even though she is the least person that she feels shy around, she is still too shy to play with her, not mentioning the day when I tried to call Arlo to play with us).
"Because.. I thought it would be more fun to play with many people, don't you think the same?" (Also you are too close to me and started to stop trying to talk with any new people Mr Laws told me this way we will return to the same cycle just removing my family and the Smiths from her fear-list).
"Okay Rudi, if you say so." (That's the other problem you are removing your own character if we are alone).
After finding out that Anna is busy we returned to my house garden to play but the only difference was that even Lilla left the house so me and Sylphy were alone. (That's a perfect situation to try magic with Sylphy first to find if she is into it).
"Hey Sylphy, do you want to see something cool?" I said smirking at her side
"Yes, of course Rudi!" Said the very cute green-haired elf-girl. (Just being near her makes me want to pat her head).
(Wait the parental feeling is that what Emma wanted is that why she wanted us to have our own child. Poor woman I'm happy here with my new life and I probably left a paste like tomato for my body I don't think I will be able to research for returning home without taking too much time and even if I did I have family here with new face too).
"Udi... Rudi, RUDI!" "Yes, Sylphy sorry, I just dozed off."
"What's the cool thing that you will show me? And what's wrong with you today? "Said the very pouting elf-girl with very puffed cheeks. (Cute).
"I'm sorry Sylphy. I was thinking of how to show it to you. " 'waterball' as I think of it. A small basketball sized waterball appeared out of thin air then I made her touch it. After that I dropped it on the ground.
"Wow it appeared out of air like the game you made us play before." (Wait a second did she see me last time when I used magic). "Can you teach me? please!" Said the cute green-haired elf-girl with starry eyes. (Too cute and that's too dangerous, she is like hypnosing me).
"I was going to do that anyway." When I said this she jumped in celebration and asked me how to do it. "Now repeat after me."
「Let's the great protection of water be on place whom seekest I call the refreshing bubble stream right here and now. 」『waterball』
Again a small basketball sized waterball appeared out of thin air. After that I dropped it on the ground.
"Okay, Sylphy, now it's your turn." I said with a smile because how happy she is and her ears are moving up and down (too cute).
"Yes, Rudi ufff.. 「Let's. The.. great.. protect.ion of water be on place who s.ee..kest I call the r.efr.eshi.ng b.ub.ble st.ream right here and now. 」『waterball』" when she finished a third of normal sized waterball appeared and disappeared in the same second.
"You did it Sylphy congrats now try to say it again to do a perfect one." While I was taking. Sylphy on the other hand was deer jumping and saying "I did it! I did it!" (Too cute. Focus Rudi).
"Ahem now Sylphy repat the chant again to do it perfectly this time."
"Yes Rudi 「Let the great protection of water be on place whom seekest I call the refreshing bubble stream right here and now. 」『waterball』" after she finished she got the spell on hand after just three seconds she almost lost consciousness.
"R.u..di why I'm so sleepy." Said the elf-girl who is resting her head on my lap and I felt bad for her because of my idiotic thinking the girl suffered mana exhaustion.
"Sorry Sylphy it's my bad I was supposed to warn you about the mana exhaustion. Listen when you feel tired after casting a spell, don't do it again and for better safety never cast spells when I'm not around."
"Okay." After she said it she was long asleep. We stayed like this until Lilla came and she found me laying my back and Sylphy resting her head on my thighs. She carried her home and told me to call Ms Rose (Sylphy's mother) to carry her daughter home.
After I returned with her we found Lilla had woken her up and bathed her and fed her some fruits because she was hungry and as I reached the house Lilla told me to go bathe and be ready for lunch because the Laws's family will join us on it.
After returning I found mom came home also dad had come accompanied with Mr Laws home. (Elves are too beautiful, this man is astonishing).
Before lunch, Apparently dad was the one who invited them to have dinner with us but after Mr Laws refused after quite some persuading from dad, the very shy elf finally yielded and joined us for lunch. (Without me or Lilla knowledge).
That explains why mom prepared the lunch early and left it on the high pressure pot and asked Lilla to buy a new set of candles. Also dad invited the Smiths too but Mr Smith he agreed to join him for dinner. (There is some ploy here but I can't understand it yet).
The answer came to me right at lunch. "So, you will bring Ms Zenith too?"
"Yes, of course she and the doctor will come with us to the big exhibition in the forest. I will only leave 4 reeves who aren't Mr Smith and the young boy Pete. We will need as much strength as possible and at the same time last time she was under a lot of pressure when she was guarding the village alone."
After hour of adults talk I understood what's happening apparently today is the last day of the fifth month of the year K409 and tomorrow mom and dad will take most of men with all the hunters with the agreement they will probably go with Mr Bragg and Mr Smith and Pete as for hunters Mr Laws will be responsible for them also they will leave their kids with me in the knight house under Lilla care because like mom Ms Rose will accompany them as chef because the exhibition will probably last for a week at least. (from my experience with dad saying he will finish in 5 days this will probably last not five days at least it will be a weak and if not week then 10 days).
And Mr Smith (he joined us after lunch with his family and came to talk with dad). They allowed Anna to stay with us and apparently Ms Ena will be responsible for watching over the village with the help of the reeves.
Before dinner by two hour or three Mr Laws dismissed himself carrying the tired Sylphy from playing with me and Anna. And after dinner Lilla carried me to bed because I was too tired to go myself. This day I didn't empty my reserves of magic so I just let loose with gravity magic in training while I was in my room and stopped when I felt too sleepy.
