👑 Scene 1: Royal Training Begins!

(Leonhart Castle – Royal Training Grounds)

(Hayashi Leonhart, 6 years old, and Iris Valtherion, 5 years old, arrive at the training ground for the first time.)

Iris (excited mode ON): "Hayashi! Are you ready? We're going to train together!"

Hayashi (calmly): "Yeah, but it's just training. Why are you so excited?"

Iris (pouting): "Because it's going to be fun! Don't you like learning magic and swordplay?"

Hayashi (thinking to himself):

"This girl is just like her mother… overly energetic and reckless. I have to control my abilities… It's not safe to reveal everything yet."

(Just then, a beautiful and elegant figure appears—Celestina, a legendary elf professor!)

Celestina (smiling gracefully): "Welcome, Prince Hayashi and Princess Iris. Your training officially begins today."

Hayashi (internally shocked):

"She looks only 16-18… but her mana aura tells me she's a legendary elf. I should stay cautious—she might see through me."

🏹 Scene 2: First Training Session – Magic & Swordplay

Magic Training (Comedy Moment)

Celestina: "First lesson: Fireball Spell! Focus your mana and try to create a fireball."

Iris (excitedly): "Let me try first!"

(Iris raises her hands, her eyes shining with determination… and then… POOF! A tiny fireball appears… but—)*

BOOM! The fireball explodes in reverse!

Celestina (facepalms): "Haaah… you really take after your mother, Princess Iris."

Iris (covered in dust): "Hehehe… just a small mistake."

Hayashi (internally chuckling but remaining calm):

"A royal princess, yet so childish… I'll have to watch over her."

Celestina (turning to Hayashi): "Prince Hayashi, now you try."

Hayashi (thinking to himself):

"I can't reveal my true power… I must act like a normal beginner."

(Hayashi raises his hand… a small fireball forms—perfectly balanced!)

Celestina (internally shocked):

"A normal child shouldn't have this level of control on their first try. Is he really a beginner or a hidden genius?"

Celestina (softly smiling): "Impressive, Prince Hayashi."

Iris (shocked and jealous): "Ehh?! How did he do it so perfectly?!"

Hayashi (smirking): "Just luck."

Swordplay Training (Celestina Shocked!)

Celestina: "Now, we'll focus on swordsmanship. You'll both receive wooden swords."

(Hayashi and Iris are given wooden swords.)

Celestina: "Now, show me a simple attack."

Iris (stepping forward excitedly): "Me first! Watch how strong I am!"

(Iris swings her sword at Celestina… but her attack is weak and predictable.)

Celestina (easily dodging): "Hmm… you need more practice."

Iris (pouting): "Let me try again!"

Celestina: "Prince Hayashi, your turn."

(Hayashi steps forward, completely calm. His mind goes into calculation mode.)

Hayashi (thinking to himself):

"If I act too weak, they'll underestimate me… but if I show too much skill, they'll start suspecting me. I need to strike a perfect balance."

(Hayashi grips his wooden sword… takes a flawless stance… then performs an ultra-precise and smooth slash, slicing through the air with perfection!)

Celestina (internally shocked):

"That form… it's perfect. This isn't a child's movement—it's the strike of an experienced warrior!"

Celestina (maintaining composure): "Very well done, Prince Hayashi… your movements are quite impressive."

Hayashi (smirking softly): "Just natural instinct."

(Celestina begins to suspect him… is this truly a 6-year-old boy?)

⚔️ Scene 3: Assassination Attempt!

(Late at night… Hayashi sneaks out of his chamber and practices sword swings alone in the training ground.)

Hayashi (thinking to himself):

"Darius Blackthorne will try to kill me… If I want to survive, I have to stay one step ahead."

(Suddenly, a shadowy figure leaps toward Hayashi, attacking!)

Hayashi (calmly dodging in slow motion): "Expected."

(Hayashi swiftly grabs a wooden sword and, with a single precise strike, knocks the assassin unconscious!)

(From the shadows, Celestina watches secretly!)

Celestina (internally shocked):

"A normal 6-year-old shouldn't be able to defeat an assassin… Who is this boy?!"

🔥 Scene 4: Celestina Discovers Hayashi's Secret!

(Next Day – Library Hall)

(Celestina catches Hayashi alone.)

Celestina (serious tone): "Prince Hayashi, you defeated an assassin last night, didn't you?"

Hayashi (calmly smiling): "What do you mean? I'm just a normal prince."

(Celestina steps closer, her eyes meeting his.)

Celestina (whispers): "Don't lie… You're hiding something, aren't you?"

Hayashi (smirking, whispering back): "And if I am?"
