The next day, Rudy got up very early.
After dressing and washing up, he went to the open space in the back garden of the mansion.
This is where Duke Gerald usually instructs Eli and Kadia in sword practice.
As a duke, Gerald's own strength was naturally considerable.
As a top-tier Divine Seal Envoy, Gerald's fire magic and family swordsmanship are renowned throughout the Empire.
Especially in the army, Gerald was known as the "Flaming Sword Maniac".
I waited in the venue for a while.
Eli, looking sleepy, yawned as he walked over, with his older brother Kadia following beside him.
Eli was clearly dragged out of bed by Kadia, because he had been thinking too much last night and ended up having insomnia.
Eli regained his senses the moment he saw Rudy.
"Third man, you're here pretty early. Tsk tsk, look at how skinny you are, can you even hold a sword steady? Want me to teach you?"
Rudy glanced at him and laughed:
"No need, Father will teach me."
This means he looked down on Eli's swordsmanship and instruction.
Eli immediately exploded, clenching his fists and preparing to rush over and teach him a lesson.
"Third Brother, you're getting too arrogant!"
Fortunately, Kadia managed to pull Eli back in time, otherwise it might have sparked a fierce conflict.
“Don’t be impulsive, Eli. Do you want to be scolded by Father? Besides, Rudy is right. Father will teach him. You should hone your half-baked swordsmanship first.”
"Big brother! Don't stop me! These three men's attitude is infuriating!"
Rudy looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Excuse my bluntness, elder brother, but my attitude has always been this friendly. Isn't that good? Why do you always think I'm arrogant?"
Faced with his direct question, Kadia gave a wry smile, unsure how to explain.
Eli couldn't help but say:
"You're not arrogant enough? You're always smiling like that, showing no respect for me or my older brother at all!"
"Then how would you like me to show you respect, brother?"
"Is that even a question? Of course, we should adopt a humbler and more serious attitude!"
"Please allow me to refuse. If I adopt that attitude, I will no longer be myself."
"Huh? Is this the tone you use when talking to your older brother?"
Eli glared at him unhappily.
It felt like the three men weren't listening to her at all.
It was still so perfunctory.
“That’s how I talk, Brother Eli.”
Rudy said, a friendly smile on his face.
He looked at Eli with eyes that showed concern for someone with intellectual disabilities.
If you want to earn respect, you should first ask yourself what respectable things you have done.
Do you really think I'm blind? These constant pranks and targeting are aimed at me!
"Brother Kadia, look at him, he's still the same, it's infuriating!"
Kadia gave a wry smile.
Silly brother, he's already being very easygoing, okay?
For all the pranks you played, the fact that they didn't retaliate is already a testament to their good temper.
Kadia didn't choose to help; he just stood there, stopping Eli from causing trouble for Rudy.
He used to turn a blind eye to Eli's pranks.
After all, he actually thought Rudy would definitely become a Muggle in the future.
But things are different now.
Rudy awakened the Supreme Divine Seal.
It's a light attribute.
This is the most important healer in the hero's team, and she's sure to be popular in the future.
In short, building good relationships is always a good idea.
Eli was still glaring at Rudy.
Rudy completely ignored him.
Just a little kid.
Rudy had no interest in playing with him.
Instead of wasting time arguing with a child, you'd be better off reading more books and seeing if there's any way to increase the integration rate of the Demon King template.
When Gerald arrived, Eli immediately turned into a good boy.
After all, Eli was only 7 years old, so naturally he was afraid of his parents.
Gerald first sparred with Kadia for a while to check on his eldest son's training progress before turning his attention to Eli and Rudy.
"Did you see everything clearly just now? The way you held the sword, and the details of the battle?"
"I saw it all!" Eli excitedly raised his hand and spoke, looking smug.
Rudy nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Moreover, he not only saw it clearly, but also engraved Gerald's posture in his mind.
“Very well, then, Rudy, you go first.”
Gerald's eyes were sharp, and he held his sword in one hand, beckoning to his youngest son.
This was to test his talent in swordsmanship.
At the same time, he could also correct and guide Rudy when he made mistakes.
Fighting is always the best way to learn.
"Alright, Father, be careful!"
Rudy's eyes lit up with a serious expression.
He mimicked Gerald's sword-wielding posture from earlier, took a step forward, and charged ahead.
Using only one ten-thousandth of his magic power, Rudy slashed forward with his sword.
Gerald parried with his sword, his eyes narrowing.
That strength... Rudy, that kid, has real talent!
The two started fighting back and forth.
Gerald kept feeding Rudy moves, and each attack was full of openings.
Kadia's eyes widened.
Unlike Eli, he had already figured something out.
Rudy's movements and attack methods were exactly the same as Gerald's just now!
To learn something like this after just one viewing is something even I couldn't do, right?
"Bang!"
Ouch!
Rudy was sent flying by Gerald's sword, the sword slipping from his hand, and he landed hard on his backside.
