I Was Reborn in Another World, but Hold On – No Parents? Was I Abandoned? - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Master and Disciple

“In other words… even if you have many usable spells, if there’s hesitation, it’s a waste of time, and having hesitation during combat is too risky in the first place.”

“Ah, I was thinking the same thing… you mean we need to narrow it down, right?”

“That’s not it…”

Today, as well, the two faced each other on the grassy plain.

However, today, there was an atmosphere akin to a lecture.

The issue I’ve been troubled by lately: the abundance of usable magic.

But it seems my thoughts and Baldello’s thoughts are different.

“So, what do you mean?”

“The subconscious… that’s the answer.”

“The subconscious?”

“Meaning, in this situation, to unconsciously perform the fastest calculation determining which magic would be the most efficient and effective.”

“No way… Can one really do that?”

“I can.”

I see, I thought.

If one could unconsciously perform the quickest calculation in their mind to determine which magic to use, that would be the best option.

But, it requires not only vast knowledge of magic, but also vast experience.

“So, does that mean experiencing every single magic is the starting point?”

“You catch on quickly… In that case, today, bombard me with every kind of magic.”

“…I’ll borrow your chest.”

“Don’t worry. Solving the dilemmas of one’s disciple and fostering their growth is what defines a master.”

“…Master.”

By the way, Baldello seems to be very pleased when addressed as “master.”

He’s still grinning a bit.

Simple and easy to handle.

Keeping a fair distance, I decide to start with…

The magic Emilio used before, dropping meteorites.

The spell’s name is Stardust Rain.

Even Master Baldello occasionally uses it, and both its power and quantity are tremendous, so I’ve been wanting to try it out.

I extend my right hand forward and begin to amplify my magical power.

Then, I envision Stardust Rain in my mind.

Alright! It seems I can use it…

I relax my cheeks a bit and then release the magic.

A vast amount of magical power spreads throughout the surroundings.

It’s even more magnificent than when Emilio used it.

Looking up at the sky, I can see an astounding number of meteorites falling.

As for Master, he looks up and lets out a slight smile, saying, “Oh…”

A tremendous roar echoes, and I can’t see anything in front of me due to the dust and aftermath.

It’s called a wipeout-class for a reason; if this were used in a war, an unimaginable number of people would die… but when the dust clears, there stands Baldello, unharmed.

“Well, that’s quite something.”

“Even though you say that in an unscathed state…”

Watching Baldello laugh heartily, Arus thought he might not be able to defeat this person.

“Alright then, Arus, let’s keep going! Bring it on!!!”

After the meteorites, next up were the flame dragons…

Thunder dragons, ice dragons, wind dragons, earth dragons…

An enormous tornado…

A gigantic thunder hammer resembling a spear…

A super heavy slash from gravity magic…

Inferno resembling the sun…

An ice barrage covering the entire area…

Arus unleashed a torrential assault, pushing his magical reserves to their limit.

Baldello, true to his name, couldn’t withstand some of the attacks even with defensive magic, taking some damage several times. However, he managed to deflect with his body, repel with magic, and dodge with intuition, avoiding fatal blows.

After about an hour of continuous magic, Arus’s magical power was depleted to a level he hadn’t experienced in his entire life.

Arus collapses in a spread-eagle position.

But this time, he somehow feels like he’s grasping something, repeating that feeling in his mind over and over.

“Do you feel like you’re getting something?”

“…I think I might be.”

“Should we continue?”

“That’s a bit too much for now.”

“Alright, let’s call it a day then.”

Upon hearing that, Arus finally manages to stand up and deeply bows to Baldello.

“Thank you very much for today, Master.”

“W-Well! From now on, we’ll increase this kind of sensory training. Make sure to visualize as well.”

“Yes!”

Returning to the castle, Arus lies down in the room assigned to him by King Luze (Dragonlord).

Certainly, he realizes once again that this training will be very useful for his future.

The strength of the Apostle of the Evil God is unknown.

There may even be a possibility that they are stronger than Baldello.

If he hadn’t done anything, he would have lost.

That’s why he thought this training was necessary.

To regard Baldello as his master, perhaps this too is fate.

A knock is heard, and when he looks at the door, Baldello is standing there.

“Arus… You’ll have three days off starting tomorrow. And after the three days of training, you’ll have a day off. Understand?”

Surely Mel is worried about me.

“In that case, I’ll return to the Demon Kingdom for a while. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my family…”

“Well then, let’s prepare some souvenirs for them.”

“Oh… You don’t have to.”

“Nah, your father is also my disciple. And you, as his son, are my disciple as well. If we’re talking about your family, it’s like my own family… I’ll prepare something, so make sure to bring it back tomorrow.”

“Understood.”

Baldello is capable of such consideration despite his appearance and combat prowess.

He must not have been called the former king of the Dragonlord Kingdom for nothing.

Alright, tomorrow will be a rare visit to my home (the Demon Kingdom)!!!

I’m going to take it easyyy!
