My Second Attempt at Pampering my family

A Casual Stroll

The trip between the capital and the Territory of Artonis Household is but a short one as it only took the group to arrive in only 2 days. Resting on a nearby village for his daughter to sightsee many delicacies, he wanted her to enjoy her trip as she would one day be independant of him and head to the capital for the academy.

While the letter did inform him of his recent activities and his a sign on a revolt to the kingdom, he wasn't in a hurry since he wanted to teach his daughter while traveling in regards for survival if she ever plans on adventuring.

"When you plan on heading out to explore the world, always be aware that not everyone you meet is friendly. When handling situations, always stay on your guard when outside of town and only lower your guard once the other person is weaker than you. Since if that person is stronger, you will lose when it comes to making negotiations. " - Artonis

*Nods*

Artonis began teaching her survival techniques he had learned when started out on his adventure as he wasn't restrictive on her freedom.

If she wants to go out and explore, I allow it after she gains enough skills needed to be on her own without relying on me and her title. While I don't want her to hurt herself, her freedom and her happiness are only things that would satisfy me.

Artonis nodded in satisfaction after learning his daughter's education was proceeding nicely. Such as noticing the same drive to learn which might had inherited from him. He felt proud knowing that she wasn't stupid but only lack the proper guidance.

"Now, let us explore more about magic as you will try to visualize the mana around you." - Artonis

He was now teaching her magic as her swordsmanship had already improve at a rate he was satisfied with. The elegance and techniques aren't par with him at her age yet this is just an improvement due to being taught by an incompetent person.

Magic training was suppose to have started earlier than this yet her mentor focus so much on her swords that she hasn't touched even the basic of mana visualization, much to his disappointed.

She could still improve with his own version of training however it would end up injuring herself so he had to opt for the normal routine.

"Hmn....ah." - Aria

"Hooh.... Excellent." - Artonis

"!!!!" - Keith

A ball of blue light manifested from Aria's hands as its size was comparable to a ball. Keith was also surprised that Aria manage to conjure mana from her hands but he was mostly shocked from the words he would never heard from Artonis himself.

'Excellent?! The only time he spoke of that word was him having a duel with the demon king and that person was already on the deathbed, ready to not only sacrifice himself but also blow us all at that time. Now your telling me that his daughter is comparable to a dying demon king?!' - Keith

It should be noted that his daughter isn't comparable to a demon king but only her talent. She might had only conjure mana with the size of a ball but Artonis was looking far deeply into the mana she made and understood how much purity it contained.

The more diluted the mana was, the more magic needed to cast magic and how much stamina it would drain a person. Pure mana could be said to cast large amounts of magic and even raises one potential to grow strong as Artonis himself only contained 2/3 of pure mana.

Now his daughter with a totally pure mana could be said to be 'Excellent' in his eyes as this was something to consider in her future path.

'No wonder she could do the demonic ritual and only be in a half-berserk state by only self-learning. If one fuses with a demon, it would only last an hour or 2, given how impure an average person's mana is.' - Artonis
