“Huh? What are you going to teach us?”

It was a peaceful morning like any other. They looked at Aion as if they had misheard her and asked.

They were taken aback and asked as unexpected words came out of his mouth.

Aion looked at them and said.

“I’m going to teach you guys how to use your power properly. Because I need the strength to protect myself in order to live in the future.”

Aion looked at them and said:

He was trying to teach them how to protect their bodies out of the blue while they were eating.

***

‘It’s a bit sudden, but I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.’

Aion thought as he watched them moving outside, squirming.

Seeing the recent increase in the number of monsters and incidents, and the many things happening one after another without a break, he felt it was a little early, but he tried to give them some basic training.

In fact, training them was something I had been thinking about for a long time.

As for the power and potential they possess, if they had used it correctly and not taken the path of corruption, they could have become strong enough in a few years.

That’s why, from the moment he first brought them home, he had been thinking of training them someday.

When I first had this thought, I was planning to do it when their bodies had matured to some extent and their personalities and thoughts had settled down to some extent.

He had become anxious because of the various events that had happened recently, so he ended up having to teach them how to fight earlier than expected.

Thinking so, he came out of the house first and waited for them.

A little while later, they appeared in front of Aion, who had been waiting for them, having changed their clothes.

“Are you ready?”

Aion asked them as they left the house.

Their reactions to Aion’s words were sharply divided.

In Dana’s case, her face was filled with a questioning expression as if she didn’t know why she had to do something like this, and although she was hiding her reluctance to do it, her delicate face was filled with emotions.

Her younger sister, Fred, didn’t show any particular signs of displeasure, unlike her older sister, Dana. Instead, she smiled and walked out of the house.

In Hine’s case, she seemed to be having a really fun time. She walked forward, wagging her tail quickly like a fan blade.

And for the rest of the day, he had a not-so-good expression on his face, perhaps remembering bad things from the past.

As they approached him, Aion spoke to them.

“I’m not going to start training today. What I’m going to do today is choose a weapon that suits me.”

After finishing speaking, Aion started taking out various weapons that he had put in the item box.

They looked at him as if they were watching a circus, as weapons kept popping out of the empty space.

“Here, grab the one you like.”

Aion said as he took out the weapon from the item box.

All the weapons he took out of the item box were made of wood, and he was worried about the injuries they might get, so he made everything out of wood.

Of course, it is true that wood hurts if you get hit properly, but if it goes beyond wood, you have to worry about not only the pain but also the flesh getting cut, so he ended up showing them relatively safe weapons made of wood and said.

“Hmm…”

They looked thoughtfully silent as they looked at the weapons Aion had taken out.

At first, they didn’t seem to welcome Aion’s actions, but when he showed them the items, they began to examine the weapons with quite serious expressions.

The first to pick up a weapon was Dana, and in her hand was a staff used by wizards.

“I like this.. The feel is good.. and most of all, I like the grip.”

Dana said after picking up a wooden staff about her height.

‘As expected, Dana chooses a magic wand.’

Aion nodded as if he had expected her choice.

In the original work, she mainly used magic to attack or disrupt enemies from a distance, and knowing this, he had been expecting Dana’s choice.

And after a while, Hine also showed him the weapon she had chosen and told him that she had chosen the weapon that suited her.

“Look at this, Master! I also chose a weapon!”

Hine showed Aion the weapon he had chosen and said:

The object she chose was a wooden gauntlet model that might seem a bit unfamiliar. Of course, the gauntlets she picked up were not the ones normally used, but rather the ones used for training or when children are first introduced, so they were a bit crude.

Hine was moving her tail and ears with satisfaction as she put on the gauntlets she had chosen.

‘Maybe it suits you better than I thought?’

And Aion said after seeing her like that.

In Hine’s case, in this house, excluding Aion, she was second in terms of strength, and of course, they had not yet caught up with Hine’s development, but even taking that into account, her strength itself was acceptable.

Hine chose his second weapon like that.

The next thing I decided on was a weapon.

She picked up a short wooden dagger, like a knife that was easy to carry and light, and one day, with the dagger in her hand, she was swinging the sword into the air.

‘I guess it’s because it’s basically based on force, but it’s quite sharp and aggressive even though it seems like it’s the first time I’ve used it.’

Seeing her like that, Aion thought this.

In her case, she had basic fighting skills because she had fought many monsters and people since childhood.

The last remaining Freya approached Aion, hesitantly.

“I.. like this..”

After finishing choosing his weapon, Frere approached him shyly and said.

In her hand she held a wooden shield, the opposite of the weapons held in Dana, Hine, and Haru’s hands until now.

After seeing this, Haru looked at Fre, who was holding a shield instead of a weapon, and asked.

“Why did you bring a shield?”

She turned her head and asked her.

To that question of the day, she answered with a blush of embarrassment.

“I’m not used to fighting with someone.. and more than anything, I’m weak.. so I like a shield that protects people.”

She explained why she chose the shield.

Aion, who had been watching this, said while stroking her head.

“Good idea, Freya. A shield is also a very good weapon. Depending on the Four Emperors, a shield can be an item that protects allies. Or it can be used as a weapon to advance forward. ”

Aion said that, stroking her head.

At Aion’s words, she blushed even more and felt embarrassed.

“Okay, so now that we’ve all chosen our weapons, let’s practice?”

Aion, who had been comforting her while she was so shy, looked at them and said.

At Aion’s words, a question mark appeared above their heads.

“Master? How do you want us to practice? Are you telling us to fight each other?”

Hine, who saw this, raised the hand wearing the gauntlet and asked as if making an announcement.

To her question, Aion turned his head sideways and answered.

“No. It’s still too early to fight each other. I won’t make you guys practice since you haven’t yet realized the power of weapons. If I do it wrong, you’ll get hurt.”

Aion explained to them in a gentle voice.

Dana asked, listening to Aion’s explanation.

“Then how do you practice?”

Dana, holding the wizard’s wand, asked, clutching the wizard’s wand with both small hands.

Aion smiled meaningfully at Dana’s answer and said.

“I told you before, right? You still don’t know the power of the weapon you’ve chosen.”

“That’s right..”

“Then wouldn’t it be true that I should tell you how strong that weapon is?”

Aion, who had said so, relaxed on the spot and said:

“Come at me with everything you’ve got. With all your might, with all your might.”

Aion looked at them and said.

When Aion said those words, they looked at him as if they had misheard him.

But as if what they heard wasn’t a lie, Aion relaxed and waited for them.

While they were facing each other like that, Aion, who was tired of waiting, spoke to them.

“If you don’t come, I have no choice but to go.”

As he said that, Aion prepared to rush towards them.

When they saw this, they moved to avoid the approaching speed.

“Slow to notice.”

Training with Aion has already begun.
