When Esdeath felt senshi massaging her. She began to relax as the massage felt good and her sore muscles on the shoulder began to feel good.
She was a little surprised that the massage of a five year old child could feel this good. And thought that her decision to let him follow her was a good one.
On the other hand Senshi was still a little on edge as he was very nervous of Esdeath's reaction .
After some time he could not resist asking.
"Master. Is it good?. "
"Yes. Now do the back".
After the massage was done . Esdeath was feeling really refreshed which she has not felt for a long period of time.
So she wanted to see what the boy can do more. And therefore asked him.
" Senshi do you know how to cook? "
"Only the basics master. " Actually he knew how to cook. When he was poor ,he made food for himself but it was mainly for feeding himself and not for the taste so he never really mastered it. But after he became rich he never really cooked therefore he was not very sure in cooking.
"Well give it a try. Maybe you can cook as well as you massage. " Esdeath was really hopeful for his cooking.
But that was soon turned around when she saw the dish presented to her on the dining table. It was actually not even in the recognisable state and seeing this Esdeath turned to the one who cooked this who right now had his head down in shame.
Actually Senshi also had a good feeling when he was beginning to cook because Esdeath praised his massage. But first few minutes in he started to understand that he is not very good at it which in turn made him panic. And till the end he had almost given up so he presented the dish he made to Esdeath and was not able to look her in the eye and Was waiting for his punishment.
When Esdeath saw this she was not angry as she assumed to be. Actually when someone would bring her this type of dish to the dinner she would have already killed him because she has no qualms about killing innocent people. But when she saw senshi with his head down she couldn't help but be amused for some reason and thus asked.
"Senshi, what dish is this? ".
Senshi looked up. First he saw the dish made by him and then he saw Esdeath's serious face and his face flushed in embarrassment.
" It's curry master. " Senshi said in a small voice.
Hearing the name of the dish Esdeath looked at the black liquid in her plate and didn't know what to say. She then looked at Senshi who was currently flushed red in embarrassment and then looked at his small hande which were covered in cuts and a little burn and couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing it made Senshi panic even more.
"Sorry master. I will definitely make it better next time, please don't throw me out. " Senshi thought that he was a goner now.
Hearing Senshi's words Esdeath stopped laughing and said.
"No one will throw you out. The other servants has made a dish so I will eat that today and after that you can eat. "
Hearing it Senshi was once again all smiles as he was not thrown out. What he didn't know was that he would have been dead if it was the usual attitude of Esdeath.
"Ok go to your room now and you will learn how to cook from tomorrow onwards from the other servants . And come at the yard behind the house at tomorrow morning at 5 am and we will begin your training. "
"Yes master. " Senshi said and left the dinning area.
Watching his retreating small back out of the dinning area the corner of Esdeath's lips were raised unconsciously.
She picked up a spoon full of that black curry made by Senshi and ate it. Her expression crumbled instantly.
"He really is a bad cook. haha" But she still had a laugh.
"My decision to bring him may not be the best but i am sure it will be interesting. Let's see what changes he will bring to my life. "
....
The rest of the day was not very eventful.
The next day when Senshi woke up he quickly went to the backyard where Esdeath was already waiting for him.
"Good morning master. "
"Good morning. Are you ready for training?"
"Yes master" Actually Senshi was very exited for training because from somewhat information he have of this world he knew that you have to be strong in this world physically or have political power in this world to survive.
"Good.now every morning you will do body training and exercises and in the evening you will do hand to hand combat training till you are proficient in it and then choose yourself a weapon and start your weapon training. "
"Ok master. "
"Good now let's start. "
...
After four hours ,Senshi was on the ground panting so hard like his life was depended on it and Thinking of the hell he just went through.
On the other hand Esdeath was fine and looking at her fallen servant.
"Don't overreact Senshi. Well it was your first time so you will get used to it over time and we will increase the intensity of your training as time goes by.
" Haah haa yes. Mo-- master haa" He almost called Esdeath a monster. Well she really was a monster when it comes to training. She had done almost as 10 times difficult training as him.
Whenever he stopped due to fatigue she would increase the intensity of his training.
"Good.now get up and go clean yourself. You have to learn cooking and then in the evening we will begin your evening training. " Saying that she walked away.
When Senshi heard this he Tried to get up and after some time limped to his room to get a bath after which he learned cooking from the chef of the mansion and ate the lunch after Esdeath.
...
In the evening.
In the backyard both Esdeath and Senshi were facing each other as Esdeath was going to teach him hand to hand combat.
"Senshi.In a fight you have to use your all to win. No matter what it is and I will teach you everything needed to become strong and to win."
"Your training will be divided in various parts :-
1.) Body training.
2.) Learning various techniques.
3.) Battle instincts that you only get after countless battles and spars.
Your body training was done in morning ,now I will first teach you techniques and then we will work on your instincts. "
Hearing it Senshi was overjoyed as finally in the evening he can do some real training and learn something instead of that torture.
"Yes master. " Senshi said loudly and exitement can't be hidden from his voice.
"Ok let's start".
After which for the next two hours Esdeath taught him various punches, jabs, kicks, and blocking techniques. Which he tried to perform, and after that.
" Let's start your second training".
Hearing it Senshi was a little confused as he did knew that instincts can only be honed after countless battles as his master said so how would they train them. Suddenly he got a very bad feeling.
Suddenly a sharp pain arose in his stomach due to Esdeath punching him in the stomach which sent him flying away at once.
His mind only registered what happened after he was thrown in the ground and looked up to see that Esdeath was standing in front of him.
He could only utter this with difficulty.
"W-why" His tone was as if he was wronged by Esdeath. To which Esdeath's reply was.
"What why. This is your training to hone your battle instincts. Now get back up fast. "
Hearing it Senshi stood up with difficulty and thought that Esdeath only knew how to torture him but he was again kicked in the middle of his thinking and sent flying away. And heard esdeath's voice.
"Rule number 1 of battle is never get distracted even for a second or you will die. "
And so the literal beatsown of Senshi continued for few hours after which their day's training ended.
Like this few days passed.
