reincarnation

ch.5 - unexpected encounter

It has been almost two years since I started learning magic and I must say that it's quite interesting as well as fun, but in contrast to my expectations it appeared to be much more intricate and difficult. My lightning magic has already reached LV2 while others are still at LV1, as I thought from the start the rarer magic you acquire is the harder it is to level it up. It's pretty much impossible to level up in space-time magic in a short amount of time, not only is it the highest grade possible, it's also completely incognito to this world, by now I could only find brief mentions of how you can master it in some historical or mythological books. 

 Unlike magic, martial training is going quite a bit better. Now that I could practice actual swordsmanship and with my father no less, it didn't take very long for it to reach the peak of LV2, especially by taking into account all the bonuses from my titles, it was a rapid improvement. Because of this and the fact that I am now older, the length of training alone reached 2 hours, this included basic physical training, swordsmanship and because of my personal request - art of bow. My daily schedule looks approximately like this:

Morning

Physical training

noon

Lightning magic/Light magic (each 3 times a week, separately with mother and father)

afternoon

History(4 times a week)

Etiquette(2 times a week)

Elvish(3 times a week)

Ancient language(2 times a week)

Physical training took about 2 hours, magic training approximately an hour since my parents didn't want me to exhaust my body and mind right before the lessons, and in this world there is also a belief that Magic is best to be practiced at noon, although there is no actual proof which I know of. And finally, there were normal lessons, ever since I substituted Ancient Language for writing lessons that took about 3 and a half hours including the etiquette which by itself meant dancing, playing on a musical instrument and bunch of other stuff. 

The schedule isn't as packed as it looks honestly, since most of the lessons are scattered throughout the week, but due to insistence from my mother, I won't be adding any additional subjects once I'm done with elvish, which will be quite soon. I don't really mind, it feels quite nice to spend time with mother and Rose, I have been doing that almost all my free time by now. 

My sister is like a little angel, very cute and bright. I can't deny her at all when she asks for something, not like there is a necessity either for now since she's only about 2 years old, but It might become a problem if we continue to spoil her too much in the future. Yes, mom and dad are also spoiling her a lot, after all she acts much more childlike than when I was her age, which is to be expected since I'm not exactly a kid. 

 When I thought about future troubles spoiling might bring, I immediately confronted my parents about it and we decided that we would be a bit more strict with her after she turned three. In all honesty I greatly doubt my parents are gonna follow through with it, but I will, although I doubt Rose will grow up into a bratty person even with all the spoiling, she is way too adorable for that.

During the last two years my level has gone up again, it's really slow but also much faster than before due to all the draining and tutoring I'm going through. Nevertheless, It's still painfully slow, but there's not much I can do about it right now, I am still too young. I currently have 11 free points to distribute, 4 were used up to keep up with the basic sword training when I just started. Aside from that my stats are quite high now, of course not in comparison to my parents, but I'm confident in surpassing them in the future.
