Compared to how he trained people for the second prince, his approach of his could be said to be very soft.
Almost five minutes later, one of them knelt on the ground as he wiped his tears, "I'll do it. Turn into a weapon and I'll cut down anyone my master orders to cut down. His na is Keith right?.... he's the one who brought us here."
Gerald nodded, "Right. I'll be beside him while you two will be working in the shadows. Let's start again, my na is Gerald and I'll be taking charge of your training from now on. You two won't need nas so from today onwards, your nas will be Alpha and Beta."
The two of them looked at Gerald and nodded silently.
"I'll... be Alpha then." one of them said and the other one nodded, "I'll call myself Beta from now."
Gerald smiled and an ethereal hand grew out from his stump.
"First, explain how your awakened abilities work. I can create anything using this mysterious thing and I can control it however I wish to. I can make it as hard as steel or as soft as a sponge."
Alpha nodded and raised his hand up slightly before focusing his attention. Sparks imdiately shot out with his palm being source.
"I can create lightning but.... even though I've been practicing hard for the past few days, it's been really hard to master this ability." he said and Gerald raised one of his eyebrows.
The ability was the exact sa as one of the maids who worked under the second prince. Gerald had t her quite a few tis and based on his observations and comparison, he could tell that the guy in front of him had a stronger version of the ability.
'She could only shoot out lightning for around two seconds before panting like crazy but Alpha kept it going for more than five seconds. On top of that, he seems unphased.' he thought inwardly as he nodded.
"It's a good ability. I'll teach you how to use it well, so don't worry." Gerald said and turned to look at Beta, "What about you?"
Beta hesitated for a second before he reached into his pockets and pulled out two small daggers.
"I can control these however I want. I don't really know the limits since I was only provided with two daggers until now but I have no difficulties when it cos to controlling these two."
"I see, it's slightly similar to my ability but instead of so mysterious thing, you control daggers?" Gerald asked. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
Beta shook his head in response, "No. Let just read what the system says."
He opened up his system screen and began to read, "Blade Psychokinesis. Ability to control and manipulate all kinds of bladed weapons."
Gerald nodded and muttered, "Okay got it. To start off, we need to give Alpha sothing that is made of tal. Sothing similar to iron or steel will work amazing since it'll help contain the lighting in it."
He then looked at Alpha with a serious look on his face, "Soone I know has a similar ability and she used a cane as a dium to shock her targets. It's almost impossible to control the trajectory of these electric sparks, so having a dium will work wonders."
As soon as he said this, a gauntlet made of copper and steel parts appeared in front of them.
All three of them looked up to see if the being of light has appeared once again or not, but he wasn't anywhere to be seen.
"I guess this is a gift for you Alpha." Gerald said as he grabbed the levitating gauntlet and tossed it towards Alpha who caught it before putting it on.
While he was putting on his gauntlet, twenty daggers and four swords appeared in front of the three n.
"For right?" Beta said and instead of grabbing the weapons with his hand, he tried to use his awakened ability to control them.
One by one, he took control of the daggers and made them fly around him until he reached his limits.
"Just eight daggers huh?" Gerald muttered, but Beta shook his head, "No, I lost control because I wasn't looking at the dagger behind ."
The dagger that was fallen on the ground, flew back up. Beta controlled them in such a way that they flew around in front of him instead of circling around him.
By using this strategy, he was able to control all twenty daggers and the four swords before hitting his limits.
The three of them continued to test the limits of their abilities while Keith withdrew from his spatial dinsion as he was getting bored.
'Wait, lem send them to goat land first. This way, two weeks would have passed for them once I visit them at the sa ti tomorrow.' he thought and implented his plan.
Once he was done, he lazed around for the first ti in months. In just one hour, he got bored and let out a sigh, "This world has no fucking entertainnt... other than theaters and a few books filled with poems." he complained as he stared at the ceiling.
Not knowing what to do, he dived into his spatial dinsion and spent the rest of the day with Miya before putting her to sleep. He did the sa thing the next day, but he also introduced himself to Gerald's daughter, Hannah.
Hannah silently listened to Keith's words and once he was done, she nodded, "I see... so you want to teach your daughter about multiple things? Etiquette, literature, general knowledge and economics are the subjects I'm confident in."
Keith shook his head, "No need for all that. I want you to be her friend and soone she can take guidance from. I'm asking because I don't think I'll have enough ti to spend with her in the near future.
Just teach her how to be a good human being and that's more than enough. As for the rest, feel free to teach her whatever you want to. How much salary are you expecting though?"
"Hmm... sounds like an easy job but this sounds more like you're asking to be her nanny instead of a teacher."
"You can call it whatever you want to." Keith said as he shrugged and Hannah took a few seconds to think about it.
She then nodded, "Okay, I understand. Since you're not forcing to teach your daughter a lot of things, I won't ask for much. You'll be providing with a place to stay and you're also going to give food for free, so it's embarrassing to ask for more money."
Seeing the girl being shy, Keith chuckled and shook his head, "Pick your salary, girl. Just promise that you'll take care of my daughter, that's all."
"I'll... be happy with five braks then." she said, hesitating slightly.
Keith smiled as he took out his leather pouch and gave her a 1 zen note, "Here you go. I'll be paying you once in two weeks instead of following the norms."
Hannah nodded, "Understood. When do I et your daughter?" she asked and Keith smirked.
"Now." he said and imdiately, both of them found themselves inside a dimly lit mud hut.
Miya was silently playing with the soil on the ground but when she saw Keith appear, she jumped up and hugged him tight.
Keith patted her head gently and introduced Hannah, "Miya, this big sister will be staying with you from now on. She'll be your friend and play with you whenever I'm not here."
Miya pulled back and looked at Hannah before bowing down slightly, "My na Is Miya Zenister and I want to beco a swordsman like my papa."
"Swordswoman, Miya." Keith corrected and patted her head as he chuckled before adding, "I think you'll change your mind later though."
"No, I wanna be like papa. Grandpa said that papa is strong and beats up bad guys! So I wanna beat up bad guys too!"
Keith grinned and nodded, "Sure sure, you'll beco strong and beat up bad guys in the future."
Miya smiled wide as she heard his words before turning to look at Hannah, "What's your na, aunty?"
"A... aunty?" Hannah stamred, absolutely speechless with the innocent attack the child had hit her with.
Miya tilted her head slightly, "Hmm... mama did tell that there are uncles who look like aunties... are you an uncle then?"
Unable to keep his laughter in, Keith exploded, causing Miya to get even more confused while Hannah's face turned bright red.
"Call her big sister. She's pretty young, you know?" Keith said as he pointed at the girl and Hannah nodded in response, "Yes. I'm too young to be called an aunty... anyways, my na is Hannah. Nice to et you, Miya."
Miya nodded, "Yes, nice to et. Now shoo, I wanna play with papa."
Hannah felt like crying as she silently nodded and walked out of the hut. Keith felt a little sorry for her, but he knew that he couldn't force things.
Once the girl left the hut, he turned to look at Miya and knocked her head with his knuckles, "You were very rude Miya. It's not good to tell others to shoo when you just et them. If soone is being kind to you, then you should also be kind to them okay?"
Miya pouted as she looked up at Keith and nodded, "But I wanted to play with papa.... see, I made a small house for us." she said as she pointed at the small cave like structure she had made with the soil.
