After the round of introductions, Eru was wary of the Ady who looked ready to pounce on him as he says:
"And so? What did you want to talk about?"
"Right, after you left yesterday, didn't you jump really high from the roof? How did you do that ?"
"Ah, that..."
"Also, please teach us the technique!"
Where did their wariness from yesterday go? Chid was chatting with him like old friends. Eru didn't understand why Chid was so excited.
"I can show you, but it will take a long time okay?"
"No worries. If we train with you, we can fly like you did one day right?"
"But you might be stuck at a bottleneck before that happens too..."
Eru warned, and started to explain his training in simple terms... the content about magic. Chid and Ady are quite smart, picking up the difficult content at a good pace. Because they understand the content, they frown at the task ahead.
"Isn't that gruelling!"
"So Eru is so amazing..."
"Didn't I tell you at the very beginning?"
The stunned duo groans, then lift their heads as if they just thought about something.
"By the way, why is your magic so powerful?"
"... That is because of compatibility, and I have been training for some years."
"Some years... How old are you?
"Eight."
"Eh!? That's the same as us!?"
Ady was impressed. Compared to the explanation earlier, this was more stunning. Chid and Ady seem to be twins, both of them are eight years old just like Eru. Chid was in high spirit after hearing this, dismissing all of his worries. He has a face that says 'alright, we have to do this' and was fired up. Eru warns Chid who was rearing to go:
"Physical boost is a high spell; you can't use it without starting from the basics."
"Then just ask magic."
"...Hmm?"
"You are strong right? You know lots of high spells!"
"You might be cute, but you are so dependable!"
Eru's face starts to cramp. This development is beyond his expectation, and has nothing to do with cuteness. Their request was troubling; he wants to escape if at all possible. But when he saw Chid and Ady talking enthusiastically about the training regime, his conscience did not allow him to ignore them.
"Ah... This.... Eh, I understand. I will... teach both of you magic..."
"Great, I knew you are a bro!"
"Wonderful, no wonder you are so cute!"
"You are overestimating me, and this has nothing to do with being cute!? Wait, like I said, magic cannot be learned immediately. You have to start from the basics, understand?"
"I know, I know, don't worry. We will catch up to you in a flash!"
He felt uneasy with Chid who accepted so readily, but Eru still confirmed the training details with them before they parted their ways.
The following day, the twins Chid and Ady visited Eru's home. Not at night, but during the day.
Because they only met under the moonlight until now , Eru finally saw their beautiful black hair and hazel eyes. The brunette twins reminded Eru of Japan and he felt a sense of kinship with them. Chid's messy hair was short while Ady's slightly wavy hair reached her shoulders. They really are twins, having similar built and strong eyes.
"Welcome to my humble abode, please come in."
Eru gave up any resistance and ushered them in. The Echevarria residence was slightly bigger than their neighbours because of their relations with both the dean and an instructor of Laihiala pilot school. Chid and Ady looked around curiously as they followed Eru.
Eru's mother Celestina welcomed them warmly, her son who seldom brought friends home has two guests with him at the same time. She is a great cook and shows off her prowess, making her guests feel at home with her snacks and beverages. Ady was really delighted, she hit it off well with Tina and was about to follow her into the kitchen to make snacks, but was dragged off forcefully by Chid .
After the disruption, they went into Eru's room to learn basic magic. Eru's room was very tidy. There is only a table, a bed and several shelves along the wall. The shelves have textbooks related to magic, along with some storybooks for display. For preschool children, this room is too practical. The twins (Especially Ady) were planning to snoop around the room, but were stopped by Eru.
After this episode, the magic lesson finally began. Eru used the magic textbook he likes as the teaching material, starting from the fundamentals. He thought that the pair were too confident , but as 8 years old, they will grow tired of it and give up immediately. But Chid and Ady were surprisingly passionate about their studies. When they started their architect sigil practical session, they displayed admirable control, hitting the bull’s eye after some attempts.
Eru remembered their dialogue yesterday, didn't they understand the explanation about magic immediately? This means the twins are excellent. Eru reflected on underestimating them as he gave feedback to the duo that collapsed after depleting their mana.
"What you are feeling is mana depletion. Because your mana pool is too small, so you should start by building up your mana capacity through training."
"Huff huff, this is tiring. So... How do we do this special training?"
"Deplete your mana every day. Your mana pool will grow faster than doing nothing. And it will be best to do some exercise, you can train your body and magic at the same time, it's more efficient this way."
"...Oh, that's why you are jogging on roof tops?"
"Yes. I told you it's not simple."
"That's right, but I still want to do it! I just need to keep this up every day! Isn't that 'simple'?"
Eru was surprised. He turned around to see Ady who has caught her breath with both hands on her hips, looking fearless. Eyes filled with determination and confidence, with a hint of a smile on her face. He looked at Ady, thinking nonchalantly (She is tall and will become a beauty in the future, but she is hard to handle.)
"... I see, please work on your architect sigils for now. You will be able to do special training with me after your mana pool grows."
"I don't know when we can catch up to you... But it will definitely be sooner than you think!"
"Of course! Just watch us; we will reach your standard in no time!"
Eru's impression of his first ‘good friends’ is improving gradually.
(They are tougher than I thought, I made some interesting friends.)
And so, Eru's training was joined by the twins Archid Olter and Adeltrud Olter, his life has gotten livelier .
Eru is not just learning magic. When he has spare time from his magical and physical training, he is also learning swordsmanship as promised by his father Mathias. This is the standard swordsmanship from the curriculum of Laihiala pilot academy. Chid and Ady also joined in.
Of the three Chid is the most talented in the sword . His body build is great for his age, which allowed him to surpass Eru in no time. His stance is proper and won't lose to anyone in simulation battles.
They practiced the sword along with their magic. For children of their age, the 3 of them were incredibly busy. Eru does the necessary training in order to achieve his goal. He has gotten used to it after such a long time, so he doesn’t find it intolerable. He felt that he did not push himself hard enough in his previous life, which motivated him to strive on. Eru realized the biggest motivation for humans comes from their desire.
But what about Chid and Ady? They harbour the same passion as Eru, living each day to the fullest. Eru's training has already surpassed the normal standards; there is no need to burden normal children with this. If they are aiming to be a knight, there is no need to work so hard. But they never complained about it.
What motivates the twins? Eru can't think of any reason for them to work so hard .
Even with their busy schedule, they didn't only train. They made time to spend with their parents or play with other children around their age. With the largest academy in the nation, the children have plenty of playmates.
The kingdom of Fremmevira has a problem unique to it , which is the existence of the Demon beasts. The situation here is different from the west of mount Aubigne, the kingdom of Fremmevira shares a border with the Bocuse forest ruled by the Demon beasts. Demon beasts often attack , threatening the lives and property of citizens causing the people to live in fear. Hence, the cities of Fremmevira have strong walls erected around them , protecting the towns and citizens.
-- Everyone in Fremmevira agrees to the construction of the walls, but the playful children find life within the walls dull and stifling. To expend their energy, they treat the entire city as their playground, playing around noisily. The sound of the children's laughter can be heard on the streets every day.
It is no different this day, a group of kids dash along the pavement. But on closer inspection, a child has fallen far behind.
"What are you doing... slow tortoise..."
When he heard the jeers of the children, the kid who has fallen behind stopped , panting, and waved his arms while protesting:
"Huff, huff.... It... It can't be helped! We dwarves can't run that fast!"
This protesting child is shorter than the rest; he has a strong and stout body along with short legs, a sturdy albeit slow build .
"Ah... Batson is slow..."
"What did you say? Damn...!"
"Slow Batson is angry! It will hurt if he gets you...! Run away...!"
The child named Batson is red from anger, running along with heavy steps, but he can't compensate for his short stride. The children disperse with a laugh every time he draws near, leaving the lonesome Batson behind.
"...Ku, damn..."
He clenched his fist in frustration. He is helpless about this, being slow is a racial flaw of dwarves.
Dwarves... a race originating from the northern mountains.
They live among treacherous, snowy peaks, residing within caves. As time went on , they started excavating deeper, and became skilled miners . While refining and processing the rich minerals in the
