It has been almost a week since I began to live with elder.I also learned what Laila said to most of her suitors.Indeed to fall in love with her means challenging master.Challenging master means I am dead!I would rather live so,no thank you!Besides I am treated like air by her!

As for Kayela,I like her.She is really motherly,I just wanna hug her sometimes and call her mother!But then my real mother comes to my mind.My mother is dead I cannot avenge her!But if I get stronger I might be able to get away from clan.Then I would like to go to an academy,learn magic and make connection with future rulers.If I show enough of my power,to appease me they might wipe out his entire clan!

When I told master that I wished to learn magic he told me dragons could not use human magic.Our mana was wild.Other than that he said human magics was pitifully weak!Our dragon magic was stronger.But it took longer to learn instead.But it seems it is not like they do not accept people from my clan.Elder's son Ator was going to an academy.

Apparently it is called Thedrein Royal Academy.It is founded on soils of the Holy Union.Union is a union of many subservient human kingdoms,who are free to rule themselves,even to wage war!But if Holy King doesn't like one thing,they would not dare disobey.As Holy king is a new demigod he does not really hold any malicious intents toward Eldest and our clan.

Thus we are safe there.Since other demigods wouldn't just challenge his authority to kill us.It only accepts best of best or people from influential families.It is a place where people who will influence future of the world meets.Of course Elder's son would go there.As for Laila she refuses to go to anywhere.Is she a shut-in,I wonder?

My training is going to begin again.But before that Elder is going to give me weapons.I am going to get weapons!Then excitement faded and a bad feeling crept in.I barely survived warm ups!Elder did not give me a weapon before!Basics are just living correctly right?This should be easy!Oh shit,that is a bad flag there!

"Mithra,our Aesur clan has many weapons.But we mostly use swords!Do you know why?"said elder facing the armory filled with countless swords and had many spears and other weapons.But sword weapons amount compared to others was far higher.More like aren't there way too many swords?Not only they were numerous.They were numerous in shape as well.Myriads of different swords.

"I do not know elder.All I know that it is a common weapon for nobles and knights,for it is hard to master.Compared to spear it lacks reach,compared to axe and mace it lacks power.However it has speed and it is a very well rounded weapon."I said.Yes it should be correct that sword is hard to master and that it is a well rounded weapon.

"You think our clan wields sword because it is common?We wield swords because it is the strongest weapon!"said elder visibly annoyed"In warfare many weapons were developed.Practitioners develop many weapons still.Sword would not be used if it was not suitable.Most suitable weapon for understanding weapons is sword."

"A weapon,in the end,is extension of one's body.In the end all weapons are one.Whether it be a sword or a spear.Both are just extensions."Elder said then continued"When you reach that level of understanding and strength you will find that everything is a weapon.Then you can use a stick as if it was a sword or a mace."

"There are many ways to attack,there are many ways to defend.At the end of the road you will see all movements are one and same.This is how everything is.Everything goes from simple to advanced then from advanced to simple."Elder said while walking and picked up a big metal stick.

"Elder what is that?"I asked since I had a very bad feeling.This feeling is...very familiar.Where did I feel it before?

"I have made this weapon for you!"said Elder.I felt confused.Wasn't I supposed to start with a sword?But Elder..to think he made it custom ordered for me!But the bad feeling does not go away!

He was swinging it around.Then he said something that made my blood curdle"Grip is nice and I can grab it very easy.Isn't this very light,would this even hurt?"Hurt?Why do you want it hurt?Elder said"Look my disciple!You are always so nervous and so cowardly.This is a tool I made to counter that!This is a tool to beat out your nervousness and your fear!"STICK OF LOVE GOT AN UPGRADE!

"MASTER,WHAT NERVOUSNESS?!"I act shocked"This disciple always does what you say!This is unfair!I am neither nervous or cowardly!"Stick of love hurt too much,this?I am going to die!

"When you teach someone you either use stick or carrot!Since carrot is too troublesome I use stick instead!You dare question your master?Who teaches a mediocre disciple like you out of his kind heart filled with love?!"said elder.His heart is full of love,huh?I DON'T FEEL IT!

"Now I also ordered your swords they should come here by now."said Elder.My swords?Wasn't I going to use a sword?

"Why are you so confused Mithra!If you use a one handed weapon it is common sense to use other hand too!"said Elder.I see.Elder was right.If I use a one handed weapon it would be foolish to not use my other hand as well!

A maid came bringing a ring.So where is my swords?"Come here Mithra.If you have not seen it before this is a spatial ring!Spatial rings have two types;one has unlimited space,other does not.The one with unlimited space makes user feel the weight of what is stored.Other does not make user feel weight but has limited space.Needless to say yours is the former!So you can train yourself more!"said Elder.Elder you are just a training demon.

"Use your blood to bind the ring to yourself"said Elder.I wore the ring,bit my hand and dropped my blood on it.As soon as the ring swallowed my blood,I fell down with  a *BAM*!I investigated suspecting Elder had filled the ring with boulders or something!I only found 5 swords.They were really heavy!

"It is good that you respect your teacher who did all this for you!"said Elder with a mischievous grin!LIKE HELL!I ain't gonna give up but my body is just not standing up!I willed them all out!Phew!

"Elder what is with these weapons?Why are all of them so heavy?Why do I have five weapons?Was I not supposed to have one?"I rained down questions on Elder.

"I never said you were going to use two swords!I had the forge working day and night to forge blades for you.They are made out of bones of a great beast!Which is harder and heavier than any metal!Be grateful!Only main family has access to weapons like this!"said Elder.Elder I know they are too good for me.But aren't they unsuited for someone like me?Shouldn't I practice?

"Of course you cannot use them now!You are going to use them as weights!What a waste!"said elder clicking his tongue.If you think its a waste then why did you give them to me?

"Elder of course this disciple doesn't deserve weapons like this!Why give them to me at all?Give me common iron weapons instead!"I plead with elder with crocodile tears.Faking being moved.

"Again I tell you cut out the act!You think your master doesn't know you,huh?"said elder poking my cheek with his upgraded stick of love.

"You are going to train,I want you to be ready tomorrow!Of course you will wear your ring and keep the weapons in it!"said Elder.I don't see any way of doing that!"Now come we are going home!"

Mithra is crawling on ground trying to get up.It is fun to mess with him.

Kayela comes"Isn't this too hard for Mithra?Why are you making him wear family ring and his weapons?It weights tens of tons!Isn't this too harsh?Ator succeeded but he was a year older than Mithra!"she says with worry.She babies him too much!

"If he cannot do this much he is not worthy of being my disciple and my son!You do not understand my feelings!The more precious a child is,the more you roll him around!I am making him lower himself so one day he might take flight in skies."I say with pride and add"I am already going easy on him!My heart is just so soft"I sigh.I really am going easy on him.If he was in hands of Eldest...I do not want to remember those days!

Although I call him a mediocre disciple or a stupid disciple his talent is not worse than mine.It might even be greater.It is not like he has only talents as practitioner either.Recently he is even acting so good that I would be fooled if I didn't know him.

My wife says"You say your heart is soft but you make him do things that makes him barely survive!Your so called basic training is not really any better!"and she frowns at me"After all of that you never praise him!"

This is this and that is that."If we praise him too much he will get a big head!Being too proud is more fatal than being too humble!Also he does not train hard if I do not make him!"I say to my wife.Once I was too proud and challenged someone I should not have.I barely survived with great luck.

Mithra is a genius.It took me a year to graduate from "warm ups" Eldest forced on me.Now I understand what it feels like to be on giving end.It is not like he is in any danger,when he was near death I always saved him.Not that he can realize!

I am looking forward to training him in the basics!It made me cry like a girl!This is going to be fun!
