Chapter 30 - Return
Night fell. After showering and eating, Desmond finally went to his room and continued watching the tape repeatedly.
After watching it over and over again, Desmond concluded, "Looks like I need a teacher to teach me a sword technique. Father is always busy, and he only teaches a basic technique.
"Hmm, if possible, I also need a magic teacher. I need to learn more variety of spells."
After thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of becoming an apprentice, Desmond finally determined that he would discuss this matter with the butler who took care of Desmond's family affairs the next day.
He then looked at the moon, which was shining brightly. That made him think about his parents. "It had been a long time since his father and mother had been home.
"I hope they are well." After looking at the moon for a long time, Desmond continued his activities with a night of meditation before finally going to sleep.

The next day, after Desmond woke up, he went to Alice's room as usual.
Desmond knocked on Alice's door and received no reply. He waited a while before pondering, "Maybe she has gone shopping."
With that thought, he proceeded to the courtyard to practice sword and magic.
Desmond's usual training place was the backyard, so he couldn't help but have to go through the kitchen's back door every time.
When Desmond arrived in the dining room, he saw Alice, who was learning to cook while being assisted by a servant.
"Ah, there you are, morning al-" Desmond stopped when he saw Alice's serious expression.
A naughty thought crossed his mind. Desmond then approached Alice slowly from behind. The servant noticed Desmond and wanted to greet him, but he instructed the servant to keep silent and teach.

Desmond then blew in Alice's ear. She was busy reading a recipe book, and she screamed and jumped.
Alice then turned around and saw Desmond. "Desmond!" while tightly hugging the book against his chest.
"Hehe, now your mood is coming back, sis."
Alice remembered yesterday's incident; her face flushed red, and she threw the recipe book she was holding at Desmond.
With a swordsman's reflex, Desmond easily dodged the book and saw Alice lower her head.
Ouch! It looks like I went too far. Desmond then headed to the back door and accelerated his movements.
When he was at the door, he said, "Keep your good work, sis. I will be the first to try your food, hehe." After saying that, Desmond closed the back door.
Alice, who originally wanted to teach Desmond a lesson using her ice magic, canceled her intention when she heard Desmond's words.
"Hump, why am I the one who keeps getting bullied, even though I'm older than him?" Alice muttered; the servant beside her was amazed by her young master's flirting skills.

Desmond reached the backyard. The sun was still shining brightly, and the chirping of the birds was sweet like the sky is always blue.
Taking a breath, Desmond took out his wooden sword and tried to swing it around.
"I should be training with a target." Ever since Alice's case, Desmond had started to speed up his strength gains by changing his daily training recipes.
Because the distance between the forest and Desmond's backyard was quite far, he was forced to use Body Enchantment to get to his destination quickly.
Arriving in the forest, Desmond looked at the forest and turned around to look at the yard.
"It's quite a distance but perfect for practice."
Desmond then chose the outermost tree by cutting it down with his wooden sword.
* clack * * clack * Slowly, scratches were created in the tree. "It seems like it will take me a long time to reach the swordsman class." Desmond could only deal with scratches in the tree. Maybe you don't know that Desmond has a strength of 7.04, which is said to be equivalent to an adult without class.
He looked again at the mark of the sword and touched it to feel its depth. "Hmm, this slash is very thin. The result is very different from a real sword.
"Alright, let's do this again!"
This time, he used Body Enchantment and * creak *
Smoke came out from the thin scratches. Desmond saw this and tried to touch the cut. "Ach, it's hot!" and pulled his hand away, waiting for the smoke to dissipate.
After waiting for a few seconds, the smoke disappeared, and it showed quite a deep cut.
"Wow, I never thought that the body enchantment effect would be this good.
"I'll try a few more times before practicing magic." Desmond waited a few minutes to remove the effect of his body enchantment and then swung his sword again, but now he swung many times without pause.
.
.
.
* clack * * clack * Sweat continued dropping from his body. With the last swing finished, Desmond threw his body back.
Desmond opened and closed his mouth many times* sigh * * sigh * Rapid breathing and pulse beating.
He then inhaled as long as he could and slowly exhaled.
He stood up to see the state of the tree. The tree that previously had only one deep slash was now increasing. Several sword slashes were seen everywhere.
Desmond flinched. "I knew it would be like this; even if I have strength without good accuracy, there won't be any different.
"I think that's enough, now. Let's try magic training." Desmond then chose a new tree as his target.
"System, could you guide me again?" When Desmond first learned magic, he tried to imitate every chant his mother and father taught him.
And the results still didn't work, even though he had followed all the instructions given, but he never succeeded. He even wondered whether he was not talented or his parents couldn't teach.
As for Alice, Desmond didn't know how she learned it because after he was born, Alice could already use magic.
This frustrated him, and hope arose when the system told him there was another way to learn. Now, whenever he wanted to cast a spell, he only needed to say to the system to do it, but still, it used energy. After launching, the spell could not be undone; he just cut out the energy.
When Desmond's parents found out that Desmond could cast spells without chanting, they were shocked and called Desmond a genius.
Returning to the current situation, Desmond just needed to aim at his target as usual, and * boom * fire the size of a basketball shot out of his hand.
"Piece of cake! Now let's try dual casting."
He then stretched his arms forward and imagined he could spray fire from his hand.
Energy gathered from the surrounding area in Desmond's palm before that energy finally turned into flames aimed at the tree.
"Wow, it looks like magic would be easy for me." His hand was still emitting flames aimed at the tree. He then tried to stop the flow of energy, and as a result, the fire slowly returned to his hands before disappearing.
"Nice, let's go back to try Alice's dish." Desmond then saw the situation of the tree that was almost on fire. "Oops, just one more thing."
The energy gathered again in his palm, and slowly water came out of his hand, gushing towards the tree. "Done!"
With that, Desmond returned to his backyard using Body Enchantment. Little did he know that an ordinary person needs three weeks to one month to master one spell with one element. Only a genius could master one spell with various elements in a time of fewer than three weeks.
