"I've already sent a message to Miss Virelle and she will speak directly with the king. For now, we'll stay here because your parents will personally train you."
"They're going to train me?"
He was being carried to the mansion and could already see it just a few meters away. The speed of a circle eight is very high, and that's why he wanted more and more to reach that level soon.
"Yes, they wanted to see how far your potential goes."
"This is going to be hard."
"Well, the young master has been pretending well so far to be a prodigy, so it'll be easy."
She only said that because it wasn't her who would be tense. He had only managed to defeat the bosses of the false water dungeon by strategy, after entering it and leaving before being eliminated, and there were still two left plus the hidden one.
'The problem is that I can only do this for five hours at most while my body rests sleeping, and it'll only be possible in a few days to face the other two.'
[It's possible to upgrade the false dungeon if you complete the first year.]
'Really? And what will the upgrade be?'
[The time you'll spend there will be double that of the real world, and you'll be able to remove one of the restrictions we placed.]
Now he wanted the end of the year to come soon, because that would be very good, and he didn't even need to think about what restriction he would remove, since it was obvious.
'Can it be upgraded more times?'
[Yes, when you pass the Infernal Academy arc that lasts two years, the upgrade will be removing another restriction and improving the percentage upon defeating a boss.]
'System, I'm starting to like you more now… thanks for not being a complete useless thing.'
[Do you want me to erase everything I said?]
'Sorry, I got too excited.'
Arriving at the mansion, he saw the whole family outside eating in the yard, waiting for him to arrive. Stepping onto the ground, they both began walking, and of course Enrico would sit in the chair right away since he was still tired.
"Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Solcren, may I sit down to rest?"
"You may, and please add Ferreira too."
"My apologies, Mrs. Solcren Ferreira."
Seated, he calmly looked at his parents of this world while Angela stood beside him. Enrico had dined with them before, but things had been very quiet that day, as if there was tension at the table. Today, things seemed better, which for Enrico was bad, because honestly, it was hard to talk with this family except maybe the siblings. The good thing was that they didn't ask where he had gone, maybe because Angela had followed him.
"I heard I'll have personal training with you. What kind of training will it be?"
"That depends on who will train you that day. Your father and I will train you on separate days, and the same with your older siblings, meaning four different training days."
'This is going to be hard, but difficulty is good for me, that way I'll get stronger faster.'
[Tsk]
"Where did you go so quickly, and why did you take so long to return?"
Hearing Titanza's question, Enrico averted his gaze. He thought they had let it go, but unfortunately, they decided to start being real parents.
'If I weren't strong, I'm sure they wouldn't care… now I have to come up with a new excuse.'
"The young master urgently needed to meet Miss Virelle for some matters regarding being a disciple."
"I see, it's good to see that the young lady is so interested in making my son her disciple."
With that answer, Titanza seemed satisfied, so Enrico looked at her gratefully and went back to eating.
'It must be something from the future for him to go to that place, and since he celebrated when he arrived but didn't care when I carried him, it must be something invisible even to me…'
She wanted to ask him, but she didn't want to push her young master too much. He must already be very tense after so many battles and now would begin to be trained by this family who could hurt him.
'I have to watch them closely. Young master, I'll make sure they don't damage your body too much because you must be at one hundred percent for my lady's training.'
'I like my food and Astrong's food more. Do they make something that bitter? Although this is Matteo's problem.'
While Virelle had her own thoughts, Enrico had his. Matteo was someone who always liked very bitter things, even more than normal, and because of that, he made the whole family eat the same—except Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, when Titanza chose the meals.
'Although this guy even on Saturday and Sunday only eats bitter things, and from the look on the rest of the family's faces, even though they're used to it, they can hardly wait for tomorrow.'
It was kind of hard to believe that Titanza herself let him have more days than her, since she never backed down—unless her plan was to make her children anxious for her day.
'If that's the case, she's smart, making herself the favorite of the children who have potential.'
And from the look she sometimes gave him, Titanza was planning something to bring him to her side. In Matteo's eyes, too, there were traces of plans to bring him to his side.
'These weekly faces are going to be hard.'
"Brother, do you want some?"
Taíra, at his other side, spoke quietly with an apple in her hand. Her face was nervous and tense, so he pretended to drop something, bent down, and picked up the apple with a smile without the others noticing.
"Thank you, little sister, I'll be sure to do the same."
After sitting back properly, he saw a small smile appear on Taíra's lips as she lowered her head. She might still become a villain, but for now, he would try to guide her down another path.
'It's actually nice having a little sister.'
[How touching, do you want me to cry?]
In front, Platina and Valerio noticed the exchange between the two and looked aside, while Angela next to him wanted to laugh at the two youngest for thinking no one noticed, and even saw Matteo's dissatisfied face while eating.
'Maybe the little one isn't bad, but I'll be careful with the others.'
