Robert's POV
And so, me and William went back to the battle arena to have a duel as a part of training.
And at that arena, which was a different one from where me and grandpa had a duel before, we went to our positions and looked at each other face-to-face.
"I will not have that curse of virginity!" I said to William with positive determination and enjoyment.
"Don't worry, as a friend to you, I will not let that happen to you," William responded back as he summons a sword made of flames.
He then aimed it at me and charged towards me.
I then quickly summoned a sword made of lightning, and our swords clashed with one another, producing a clanging noise.
We struggled to push against one another, but we felt that our power is equal, meaning that the chances of gaining an upper hand is low.
"Don't worry, Robert-kun, I'll go easy on you," William said to me.
"Same here," I replied back.
Then, my sword of lightning slide past William's, and I luckily dodged it, and so William, preventing any injury. That chance of gaining an upper hand is very lucky at this point.
We then turned towards each other and clashed again in enjoyment.
We did this for 3 times in a row, by that time, we are exhausted. But luckily, our mana didn't get drained completely.
Catching our breaths, we dissipated our elemental swords.
"Well, that was good," I said to William as I wipes the sweat off my forehead using my hand, before wiping it on my clothes.
"Yeah, me too," William responded back as he wipes the sweat off his forehead using a white handkerchief. "Luckily we're in a tie."
After that, we all went back to the main house just in time for lunch, which was seasoned and roasted Wild Boar belly, whole wheat bread, and garden salad. The food was so good, and more of a celebration due to the seasoned and roasted Wild Boar dish. Emma, however, was still unconscious, but a plate of food was left on the nightstand for her to eat just in case she wakes up hungry.
After lunch, we spent the next three hours doing other stuff like reading books and doing alchemy. Blaise's skills are more or less great, with her making a few mistakes in her mixing and pouring of chemicals, in which resulting in explosions. Then, I found out from Colt that the reason why there are two arenas in the Lightningheart estate is that one of them, the one where me and grandpa had a duel before, was newer than the big, main one, and was often used for general duels. But I truly understand why.
By 3 in the afternoon, me and Colt went back to the shop to pick up my custom-made cloak, which was finished being personalized. There Colt paid for it, and the old man, which was actually the owner of the shop, Hayden Purr, gave me my new cloak.
Upon receiving it, I said to him in gratitude, "Thank you so much, sir."
"You're welcome, Robert," the old man replied back. "Come again."
With that, me and Colt left the shop as Hayden and the cashier wavered goodbye to us, and off we go back to the estate.
We spent the rest of the afternoon training and doing menial tasks at the main house. At the same time, Emma woke up and ate her lunch out of hunger.
Then, by 5 o'clock, William, Emma, and Peter went back to the palace to rest up and eat dinner.
Later after dinner and taking a warm bath, at my room, I started to practice my saying to the king of Vanworth by reading the instructions on the three pieces of paper, often with styles of persuasion. It was a bit hard, with some words that I don't even know the meaning of yet. But I was determined to do this with my effort.
