Chapter 4 - 4 - Father

- A month later -

During the past month Harris trained his racing skill with the help of the system, he discovered a function called [ Mind Training ] like the name he could, when sleeping or meditating found himself in a place he called "Mind Realm". In this place he could choose a Kart, he tried to go on a Formula 1 car but he was told that until he was in F1 he could not drive because every F1 car is different he would need to see the car a few times before it can appear in his mind. Putting aside this matter for a later date, he choose a basic kart 125 cm3, unlocked because of his occupation. He trained on a 1,3 km track that the system draw with different level of difficulty. All of this training was nothing but for remembering how a kart behave and to control it since it had been a long time since he drove one. Apart from training he studied physics and more precise aerodynamics and mechanics. Nothing to high just remembering the basics he already knew and correct a few point he didn't understand in his previous life.

As for school, since he really did not like it, he never made friends, he knew a few of his classmate who he got acquainted with but not the level of friend. In class he never really paid attention since he was studying other subject but make sure to not get caught except where his homeroom teacher caught him and took his book and could do nothing but pay attention to her. There was also this serious girl who he had a rivalry...only it was one sided since he always got better result than her, she kept pestering him about how she will beat him next time, he always gave her a smile and told her to try her best. She was called Misaki Ayuzawa it was the other class representative. For him school was really boring but his father was coming soon and could do nothing but hold up.

As for his body, he was still kid so except running a little and do his best to maintain a healthy body he couldn't do much like workout, he was just a 12 years old boy.

Today was Saturday and Harris and his mom got ready to fetch their father at the airport. Arriving at the airport they had to wait for 30 minutes before seeing him.

"Hello dear, I'am back" said his father to his mother, kissing her before patting Harris's head

"How are you little boy, I see that you became as handsome as your father" shamelessly said his father before getting a smack for his wife

"...and as your mother of course, so tell me how is school"

They talked about common thing on the way back. Harris observed his father, called Alessio he was born in Italy, Torino was a Handsome man with black hair and brown eyes, a good build which could make a lot of bodybuilder look down in shame. When you see him the first time you could be scared but after knowing you would understand that he is softhearted especially toward his family. Arriving home and eating some food they brought on the way back, Harris and talked about his dream to his father.

"Dad I want to start Racing, my dream is to be a racing driver but I don't know how to start here so I thought about karting but I don't know any team in Japan and mom told me that your work was race related so I wanted help from you" told Harris to his father his a hopeful expression.

His father was pondering about it for 5 minutes before saying

"Mmmh, so you want to become a racing driver...you could start in KF3, so we will enroll you in Japanese karting competition where you could prove yourself and I will contact my friend to introduce you to him. But are you sure that you got what is needed ? Racing isn't easy son"

Harris thought about this question, in his previous life he did not have many friend and support but he never gave up on his dream he achieved to get a reserve seat driver in Super Formula, yes it was in a team no one knew, yes it was also a new team and they could only compete because every team had the same chassis but nonetheless achieved few could in his condition. So with a resolute expression a determination burning in him he said

"Yes dad, I'm ready, I will do whatever it takes to achieve my dream"

Seeing his son and his expression his dad thought that he could not say no to his adopted son, he was relieved when his wife told him that Harris took it well so he could at least help him a little bit in his dream.

"Alright let this handsome man help you" said his father with a smile but his wife smacked him behind him

"You narcissist you want to sleep on the couch ?" with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"Ahaha I'am kidding my wife, let's go to sleep I'am tired of the long flight" he said while sweat on his face.
