ALPHONSE HIGHLANDER POV:
As far as I remember, there are two things that I have always liked: training and playing with my little sister: Germinia.
Father has always been a strict and disciplined man, so as the one with more potential, I had to follow his path until I could eventually surpass him. Therefore, the moment I spent playing with my sister were like an escape from the too serious habit of father's training. Sadly, Germinia was passionated by father's sword as well and as the differene in our skills became more and more clear, she started being more distant.
Somehow, that drove me into a boredom that I couldn't get out of. Everything became boring. Everyone became the same. Every move became only one. Until I met that guy. Even though I beat him, I received a slap that day. A hard slap to the face.
'You aren't there yet.' Is what my sword told me that day as my arms were still vibrating with the lost pleasure of a battle.
