Ernesto's point of view.
Back to normal days, which I often do, I cast magic that can destroy a tree not far from me. Oh, by the way, I'm Ryuki—yeah, that was before I died. Now, I am Ernesto, a manly man who will make girls scream with the prowess of my wind magic someday.
What I'm doing now, yeah, as usual, I'm practicing with my teacher, Evan. Like yesterday, like yesterday the day after tomorrow, and like the other yesterdays, my magic is too great. This courtyard was already destroyed over time by the wind magic I used.
Even so, even if the courtyard were destroyed over time due to my overly powerful wind magic, Evan would still be able to recover this place. Thanks to his recovery magic, the castle courtyard returned to its original shape, looking like nothing had happened here.
If it broke, then Evan would fix it. If this breaks, then Evan will fix this. If they broke, then Evan would fix them. Yeah, like that, and I'm the one who caused this castle courtyard to crash. It can't be helped, it was he who asked me to show the wind magic that I could create, so I showed it in front of him and ruined the courtyard of this castle.
But unlike the previous days; today, somehow many witnessed the prowess of my wind magic. Arsenio, Henry and his wife, my father, my mother, and the skinny purple-haired girl, are in the courtyard of this castle to see the prowess of my wind magic. In particular, Arsenio was there with the skinny purple-haired girl, even though they had argued at breakfast time before.
"Tornado!"
The wind magic I created, which was similar to a tornado but not very big, rushed to the side of the fence, hitting the barrier wall and damaging it.
I watched everyone who was here, seeing their reaction to what I had done. Of the people who were here, only Arsenio didn't notice that. Instead, he was busy picking up something from the apple tree, whereas the others were very surprised when they saw my Tornado wind magic.
"Your son... he's great, Androcles," Henry's wife said, right beside Androcles.
"I was also very surprised to see he was so talented with using his wind magic. At the age of fewer than 10 years, he can already create extraordinary wind magic, capable of destroying his surroundings," Androcles said.
"He's talented," Henry said, then glanced at his daughter who was far away from him. "If I had a son..."
Henry looked very jealous of what Androcles got. He even had time to say, "If I had a son," right next to Androcles. It was a sign that he did not accept having a female child.
"Even so, that your son..." Henry continued, looking straight at Arsenio who was trying to pick up the apple there. "He's so weird and doesn't have any talent in him. And even..."
"Sorry, Henry. I'm sorry for what he said earlier. He just said it spontaneously," Androcles said.
"It is okay. I understand that. He was still childish, so his mouth was still saying something he didn't know. My daughter is like that sometimes too."
No, Androcles, you shouldn't have to apologize like that. I'm sure Arsenio said that because he knew what was going on. So, you shouldn't have to apologize to Henry for what your son did.
Arsenio does have an honest mouth. What he saw, he will say honestly. We get common knowledge from what happened in our previous world. We have to be honest with our subordinates so they know that we care about them very strictly.
Honestly, I would also say the same thing to the girl, just like what Arsenio did. I am not happy with the girl who has a small portion of eating when there is so much food in front of her, while her parents don't pay attention to her and tell her to eat more. It was something unnatural considering the body she had was so thin.
We will say such unnatural things, which we are not used to seeing. So that's why Arsenio wasn't wrong in this for having said that in front of Henry and his wife.
"Where are you looking, Ernesto?"
Evan seemed to notice that I was looking at Henry and the others who were there.
"Try to show me something bigger than that. Focus on the magic flowing within you. Center it in your palm, then you pop it out like you want to push it hard," Evan said.
"Okay."
I followed what he said. Something flowing, called Magical Energy, I have known that; so I just need to focus it on the palm of my hand.
I tried to channel my Magic Energy into my palm. And true to what Evan said, I took it out in a big way.
"Tornado!"
The Tornado Magic I created was quite large than the previous one. It was even capable of destroying the wall of the fence that was there and made Arsenio fall from the apple tree.
"Ouch… What the...? I was to get an apple, but suddenly the wind hit me. What the fuck," Arsenio said, rubbing his ass.
Sorry, Arsenio, I overused my wind magic. You can blame Evan because he was the one who told me to do that.
"Good. You can already control the flow of your Magic Energy. You can control the pressure of how much magic you have to cast."
After Evan said that, praising me, he used his Recover magic to restore the damaged fence wall.
This practice is, as usual, even though I suspect that this exercise is only to boast of myself to people. The wind magic within me has indeed improved since Evan taught me, but I don't feel any further development than that. If I could create a windstorm, that would be cool. If I could fly, that would be cool.
Even so, I have realized that the element I possess is wind. So, I already knew that I could create or manipulate wind. Maybe sometime, someday when my wind magic is at a higher level, I can create a windstorm capable of fighting the bad guys in this world. I firmly believe that my wind magic can continue to develop further than this.
"Sorry to interrupt your training, Master Ernesto..."
A maid came. She is Cherly, a maid with a brown wavy hairstyle. She approached me because she wanted to say something.
"Lunch is ready."
See, she came to pass that on to me. She didn't interfere with my practice at all, because that was her job.
Never mind, I have to eat lunch first before starting my training again.
"I'll excuse myself first."
Cheryl left before I entered the castle. She walked towards Arsenio who was still trying to get the apple there.
Before I entered the castle, I looked over there.
"Lord Arsenio, lunch is ready."
"Oh… Cheryl, can you get me an apple?"
As I suspected, Arsenio must have told Cheryl to take the apple that was on the tree. He ordered because he could not take a single apple there.
"Very well, Lord Arsenio."
Cheryl quickly jumped there. I saw her jump quite high. Her jump was 2 times higher than a normal human jump can do. Then, she managed to take the apple there and gave it to Arsenio.
"Here, Lord Arsenio."
I thought at that time too. I sensed that there was a difference between me and Arsenio towards the maids of this house. I have absolutely no idea the reason why only Arsenio is called "Lord" by them. It felt weird to me. After all, the maids of this castle call me, my father, and my mother "Master". The difference was very clear with me and Arsenio.
What the hell is this? Why is he different? Could it be because he was too kind to these castle maids? Or, could it be...
