Eichi had a great sleep. Being greeted by the sun rays that shone through his window, he shortly woke up in a half-sleep state but then decided to go back to sleep and enjoy the warmth of his comfortable, king-sized bed.

As he was about to close his eyes, a silhouette of a person appeared in front of his eyes. The person looked rather strange, as his ears were really long and pointy and he even had a long beard.

He seemed to hear a voice say: "Wakey wakey, it's time for school."

Confused he opened his eyes a bit more.

He got scared as he realized that there really was a person in front of him and it wasn't just a hallucination.

"AHHHHH", he screamed as he jumped off the bed.

But as soon as he was focused again and wanted to defend his bed from that strange person, he found nobody on his bed.

'Damn, don't tell me I'm really starting to hallucinate… better ask Hiroki if he could do a check-up on me.'

As he decided to do that later today, he wanted to go back to bed but as he came closer, the person reappered.

"Hey, don't run from your benefactor boy.", said the person.

Eichi couldn't believe what he saw… that person was no regular human… he was an elf to be exact.

The man was rather short, around 165cm to be exact. He had pointy ears and although he was bald, he had a really long and also pointy grey beard. He was wearing a long, white robe with some golden elements. He seemed to be rather old, about 80 if you were to speak by human standards. But as though the man was clearly an elf, Eichi wasn't able to tell his real age, because everyone knows that elves can live for a damn long time.

"Wh-Who…Who are you, old fart?", he stuttered.

The elf seemed to not like what he just heard as his eyes turned red out of anger.

"Old man? Don't you dare call me old man! I'm still young and fit… and if anything, then I'd be middle-aged", he declared.

'Ohhh shit, seems like this old man is really sensitive about his age.'

"Yeah, yeah sorry… But uhhm… what are you doing in my room… mister?", asked Eichi as he didn't know what to do.

The elf regained his calmness and started explaining why he was in this room.

"Well, I was just wandering around, living in pure freedom, when suddenly I felt your aura… and let me tell you, boy… you are really damn fit to be my disciple. No that's not it, you are a PERFECT disciple to whom I can pass my skills."

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

But hearing this got Eichi just ten times more confused. Thus, he once again spoke to the man in confusion.

"Excuse me, but who the fuck are you even? I don't remember knowing some guy like you."

The elf was shocked and embarrassed, as it came into his mind, that he had totally forgotten about his introduction.

"Oh… I'm sorry, I completely forgot about that. I am Boreas de Elben. The former king of the elven tribe. Right now, my eldest son is sitting on the throne, and I am having the time of my life, enjoying freedom. Though some people may call it retirement."

As a gesture of his greetings, he even bowed down a bit to show his sincerity.

Eichi was about to return the f and wanted to introduce himself now, but Boreas interrupted him.

"There's no need for you to introduce yourself, as mister Hiroki has already told me everything about you. He even agreed to me taking you in as my disciple. But only if I teach you everything, I know that is. And let me tell you… I'm rather strong. Back in the day, around 500 years ago, I trained the extermination squad that took down the demon lord.", he proudly told Eichi.

'Just how old is that guy.'

Hearing that Hiroki had arranged all of this, he just accepted it, as Hiroki surely has only good intentions toward him. He asked Boreas to let him change his clothes first, before explaining to him everything, as he didn't want to stand around in his pajama. Thus, he grabbed his clothes from the chair on which he had put them before going to sleep. While he was changing, Boreas had to hide himself in Eichi's closet, as the latter didn't want him to see anything.

After he was finished, he opened the closet and saw Boreas sitting on his clothes with a magazine in his hands. Boreas face was red, and a little bit of blood flowed down from his nose, as he flipped through the pages. He was so focused on the magazine's content, that he didn't even notice Eichi opening the door. He even made some strange noises like "hehe", "oho" or "mhhh yes". Eichi couldn't understand this behavior until he saw what kind of magazine it was. It was Eichi's R-18 'relaxing bedtime' magazine.

Eichi immediately snatched the magazine from Boreas hands and screamed in embarrassment:

"What the hell are you doing? That's mine"

Boreas just grinned at him as he said: "There's nothing to be ashamed of boy. In fact, these are some good ladies in there, hehe." His nosebleed got worse.

"But let me tell you something when I was your age, I used to clap some elven cheeks every other day. Haaa that was the best time of my life, I swear."

Eichi didn't know what to say after hearing that. He just thought: "What the hell Hiroki… why did my teacher have to be some pervert and an old one on top of that…"

He absolutely wasn't in the mood to further talk about his magazines with Boreas so early in the morning, thus he changed the topic.

"Anyways, what's the time? I mean you clearly must have had a reason to wake me up so early in the morning… or not?"

Boreas seemed as if he didn't quite remember that himself as he put his hand to his chin, showing that he was thinking deeply.

"Ahhh yes, now I remember. There was a clock on your bedside table and as soon as it hit 8 p.m. it started ringing uncontrollably. You wouldn't wake up and the sound really got on my nerves thus I just threw it out of the window.", he explained with a big smile as if he had done Eichi a huge favor.

Eichi's jaw dropped. He was speechless. He wanted to tear apart that stupid old man. Though he only did it in his mind.

But soon he stopped his thoughts as he had no time for that. He needed to check what time it was.

"Grandpa, do you know what time it is right now?", he asked.

Boreas pulled back the left sleeve of his robe and looked at his left wrist as if he was checking the time on a watch.

"Erm…no."
