POV: My training started yesterday. My first impression of them is good. My swordsmanship teacher, Arisa, is 16 years old and is very energetic, while my magic teacher's older sister, Mira, is the opposite of her.
She is calm and has an air that looks more mature than her older sister, mentally and physically...
No, no, no, do not have any indecent thoughts, Rio. I thought while slapping my forehead not to have any indecent thoughts, but it did not help.
"I should start practicing," I whispered to myself to distract myself. While Rio was struggling to purify his thoughts about his teachers, some of her teachers were talking about him.
POV: Bath-house
"Wow, look at this place, it is so big!! Are you sure this is a bathhouse?" Arisa asked.
"It certainly is big, even bigger than our bathhouse," Mira replied. They were getting ready to go into warm water. Alisa first warmed up and jumped directly into the water.
"Hey, Big sis, at least wash the dirt. Can you have some courtesy?"
"It's OK," they said. "We can use whatever we can. So enjoy"
After Mina washed the dirt off, she gently sat.
"Anyways, Mina, what do you think about Rio?" asked Arisa while enjoying the bath.
"Reikotar, about Reikotar, he certainly has talent in magic. I first doubted Sir Amane when he said his son is good at magic, but after seeing him first-hand, I think he has the capability to become a 5-circle mage."
"Huh, you think so?"
"Even..."
"What about you, my sis? What do you think about him?" Mina asked.
"I think that he has a natural talent with a sword. Even though he is just seven years old, when he uses a sword, it looks like he has years of experience with a sword. His swordsmanship is different, though. It looks like he has developed it..."
"The way you are talking, my good fellow, he is a genius. I'm now somewhat reassured."
"He certainly is. If he keeps this up, he might even surpass me," Arisa said in a serious tone.
"Well, what we can do now is just sit and watch," Mina replied.
"Alright, let's go."
"Yeah"

My father came, no, burst into my room and told me to get ready. He had prepared something for us.
I put my wooden sword back and got ready. Absolutely, maids came to help me, but I strictly told them not to enter without my permission. They somehow looked a bit disheartened.
When I went down, my father and mother came along with my teachers. They said that my father had arranged a banquet on his return.
The whole Walmor estate was there along with some nobles. We had a lovely feast, and at last, my father asked for everyone's attention.
"Everyone, thank you for coming here on such short notice. I would like to end this event with a final show, so please, everyone, watch it and enjoy."
As his speech ended, fireworks started. It looked so beautiful that everyone was mesmerized. The last few days were very hectic, coming here, adjusting to a new lifestyle, protecting my privacy from nosy people, and every other thing, but it has made me very happy. When the last firework ended, somehow I saw God's smiling face. Even though it was my imagination, I was happy.
"Thank you for everything, God," I said to myself, thinking God should have heard it.
