Kevin and Irene continued their training but kept an eye on me. They were probably worried. Father went back to his office, and I continued to swing.

How long has it been since I’ve tried to get stronger?

In my previous life I would never have done much, I didn’t punch the air, I didn’t hit a punching bag. I was in actual fights. Of course, I did a little bit of exercise, but it wasn’t much. I didn’t have the time.

But now, I was training. I was swinging, trying to perfect my swing. I was running laps and training my body.

It felt good. I wasn’t getting stronger purely so I could survive anymore.

I didn’t stop swinging my sword until it was time for dinner.

There was a huge table, Father was seated at the head of it, while Irene and Percy were sitting on the sides. I took a seat.

“How’s your training going Kai?” Father asked

“G-.” I was about to speak, but then I just gave a thumbs up in response.

It wasn’t easy to talk.

“I see.”

“How about you Irene?”

“It’s been good, Father. Kevin is a great instructor.”

I gave a confused look for a brief moment before looking around.

“That’s good. How’s about you, Percy?”

“It’s good! I’ve been learning the noble etiquette!”

What?
Etiquette?

Do I have to do that too?

I must have had a very confused look on my face because all three of them started to look at me.

“...You have to relearn that as well...”

“Oh, dear brother... I pray for your well-being.”

“Don’t worry brother!! You’ll learn fast!”

I sighed. Learning manners was vastly different than learning how to fight.

The servants brought food to the table.

For the past few days, I’ve been eating soup, and I was fine with that. It was delicious anyways. But what they brought to the table was a big steak with potatoes. It looked fucking good.

My mouth watered.

“You have to eat well to train well Kai!” Father said loudly but then started to eat.

Everyone else started to eat as well.

But there was one problem.

They were all eating in some fancy way, cutting up the steak into even smaller strips than it already was.

What?

Did I have to eat like that too? It seemed pointless; the food all went to the same place anyway.

“You can eat it however you want for now Kai.”

Father knew I was confused.

In my previous life, on the rare chance I was able to eat meat, I would eat with my hands like a beast.

Though there was no way I could do that in this atmosphere.

I decided to use the utensils and put a whole mouth-sized piece of steak in my mouth. I also ate the potatoes at the same time.

The other three became concerned.

“Sorry Kai, we didn’t know we were starving you...”

What?

Was there a problem with the way I was eating now? I was holding myself back a lot, you know? Whatever, I kept eating.

After we all finished eating Father began to speak.

“Looks like we’ll have you take lessons with Percy as well Kai.”

Huh?

“We’ll have to teach you some noble etiquette before knight school.”

Why did noble etiquette matter at a school to teach you how to fight?
“You’ll have to keep your basic manners; you and Irene will be representing our family after all.”

This guy was getting good at knowing what I was thinking.

I sighed.

Whatever, I can do that at the very least.

Father signaled to a servant

“Call Kevin and Jane, we’ll have them make a schedule.”

“Looks like we’ll be learning together, Kai!”

I nodded.

Irene left to train, and soon after Kevin and Jane arrived together.

After a couple minutes, Kevin and Jane found a schedule for me. I’d be learning the sword from when the sun rises to when it starts to get dark and learning etiquette and the basic knowledge I needed from then until the moon was at its highest.

With this schedule I would practically be training and learning from when I woke up until I went to sleep. This was probably going to be painful.

The next day training officially started.

“I think instead of focusing on your swings, for now you should work on your footwork.”

I tilted my head in confusion.

“No matter how I see it, even if you were a genius at the sword, 2 months is not long enough to be able to beat a trained person in a duel.”

“That’s why I want to focus on your stamina, and footwork.”

It made sense, it’d also be easier for me because I at least somewhat knew how to move around in a fight.

I thought so at least. That was until he suddenly moved very quickly and left and his boot imprints on the ground.

“Now just follow the footsteps.”

There were a bunch of jumbled up footsteps on the ground.

“Easy enough, right?”

No. It was fucking not.

Every time I messed up a movement, he’d tell me to restart from the beginning. He even said if I wasn’t so injured right now, he’d be hitting me instead.

So, I guess I was thankful for that?

---

The sun went down, and the sky blackened, it was time for me to go learn some etiquette.

“Kai! We’ll be learning together from today on huh? I’ll be in your care!”

It was Percy, he greeted me with a smile.

I nodded my head.

This should be easy enough, even Percy could do it.

Spoiler alert. It wasn’t.
