Now this is a big big problem. My grandparents are about to visit us and my parents not happy about that. This only means one thing, my grandparents are insane or worse. Whelp, I’d better train or else I’m in deep shit. Mann I’m really unlucky. First I’ve kicked to new world, then I trained till my bones crack and now my-probably-insane grandparents interested in me. Whatever I’ll train more, that way I may able to, somehow, prevent disaster.
For two weeks besides grinding, eating and sleeping I only played with my sister. It’s nice to have a sibling, you know. Although this time I’ve got a unique looking sister. As she is a normal baby, instead of acting like me, she sleeps and eats most of her time. While I play my sister I’ve felt like relaxed. It’s been almost forty years since I played my baby sister. After working for almost three months I now use my Magic Masteries to decent level. I can pretty much do basic stuff like speeding myself with wind, increasing my defenses with earth or covering with my fist with fire, but their effect is not that much. At most it’s increase abilities by %10.
But still, my parents look worried. Even though they try to act like that, I can pretty much understand them. If you’ve insane parents who interested in your children, then, of course, you’ll be worried about your children. But they don’t have any power against my parents. According to my assumptions, my grandparents, while being nearly insane, they are powerful and influential persons.
A few days later, our first visitors came. Actually I was waiting for my grandmother but I was shocked when a man who looks like at late forties came. He has dark grey eyes and hair which resemble mine a bit. Has a great build, not bulky but definitely packing a punch. He mess my hair and pinch my cheeks. When he was about to threw me to air my father somehow managed to stop him. While I was observing him a boy whose look like about my age catch my interest. He has red hair and green eyes. Who’re they? I was thinking as such my father greet our visitors.
“Hello, it’s been a while, father. You bring my nephew, Andy too.” – Hohen
Oh he is my grandfather? How? He is literally looking way too young. While I was thinking as such my grandfather laughed loudly.
“Fuahahaha, of course I will bring test partner for Micha. How could I test him otherwise? Looks like I came before that freak woman. I think she was interested in your children too. When I heard from Protthe she will coming here, I rush while taking Andy. How could I, Karus, let her take a step before me. Oh, I forgot to notice your brother about taking Andy. Whatever things will found it way.” – Karus
Holy shit. He is kinda airhead, isn’t he? Is it hereditary? I’m lucky I guess, since I didn’t get the Airhead title. Well, I got a feeling if he try to ‘test’ me himself, he will pulverize me unintentionally. At least he bring an opponent around my age.
“Where is your daughter, Hohen? Should I test her too?” – Karus
“Have you finally lost it father? She is just a 2 weeks old. Dear, could you bring our sweetie? Father wants to see her too.” – Hohen
He is insane. I understand why my parents was worried about this meeting. Before my worries end my grandfather speak again.
“Hey Hohen, Magno, bring my granddaughter alreadyyy. You little punks should try each other a bit. I bet Andy kicks Micha’s ass tho’.” – Karus
What kind of grandfather are you? When you arrange a meeting for cousins, first thing you want make them fight with each other. I don’t want to lose though. I’ve been grinding past three years, pops. Although he may be an Innate but I got efficiency part. I doubt he can even match it. Heck even though I’m not an Innate I got my Physicals to average of 500. Well, dad take me and Andy to outside. I guess we need to fight no matter what. It’ll be my first fight anyways. But how should we fight?
“Hmm, you should fight unarmed. Weapons aren’t suited for spars at your age.” – Hohen
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
My specialty, eh.
“Well I hope Andy can control his Strength. His Strength is off-charts for his age, you know.” – Karus
Oh, great we, probably, have Innate over here. Whatever, if you gotta do it, do it. I take my KAPAP stance while he takes a stance looks like boxing. Whoops it’s going to be pain in ass. I hoped he don’t know any martial skills but he knows some I guess. He preemptively swing his fist right fist to my face but I take an step to left. He was quite shocked since I almost instantly appeared next to his arm but I won’t let this chance to go off.
I grabbed his right wrist with my right and swing my left to his neck. I know, although it’s in rules it’s still dirty but I want to win with lesser damage. I hit but he just stumbled. Oh shit.
“Aww, I forgot to tell but his Health is off-charts too.” – Karus
Fuck you, grandfather. Instantly I release his hand and back-off. I better prepare for his next attack and aim for combo. I clad my fist with fire, my legs with wind. At that time I heard my grandfather’s amazed voice.
“Ohoo, he can already use elemental power. Not one but two at that.” – Karus
Although I clearly hold advantage on control and speed I’m pitted against a tank, which is my neutral counter. I may hit more than him but I definitely lose if I take more than 2 hits. With aid of my elements I changed my stance to Pencak Silat from Krav Maga. Krav Maga has really better defense stances but for attacking Silat’s fluidness and distractions is what I need right now. With help of my wind I fling myself towards him. I need to hit him fast and hard. I lower my head towards under of his left hand and with my left gave his chin to my high powered upper-cut. I hit him really hard but in an instant he try to counter me with his right. Shit, I wasn’t expecting such a fluid counter from a 4 years old child. I’m unable to dodge it so forced to block with my left shoulder while strengthening my body with earth. Although I blocked his punch with my left shoulder his hit really gave me hell of a pain. Immediately, I use my water element to relieve pain and start healing the bruise.
Shit, his hit really hurt. If I did take it to my temple I would definitely pass out. What kind of monster is my cousin, for real? He was almost fine after taking my hit. But as far as I can he is definitely shaken. In case I use this attack one more time it will definitely end match but my gut telling me it’ll mutual defeat. I need to change my strategy. Last time I used my speed this time I should use my decoys. Although I don’t have any weapons for decoys I’ve magic which compensate for that. Since Andy is yet to fully recover I cast my all Elemental Balls and send him.
He is distracted by magic attack and forced to defend himself. I kick the ground and leap towards to him with full speed. After getting next to him this time I didn’t stop and get his back. Immediately I gave him a low kick and push him towards his face. He couldn’t help but fall face-on. Normally I should gave him a back-attack but since he is my cousin I just arm-lock him after he fell down. Grandfather was totally shocked though.
“Oi, oi. He kicked Andy’s ass? He can use magic while he can use martial arts to this extend! Fuhahahah, now, this is what I call interesting!” – Karus
“You’re still a blockhead Karus. You’ve failed to recognize he did use all four elements. He is Full Elemental. Fufufu, my daughter, my son-in-law thanks for show. You’ve really raised an interesting kid.” - ???????
Oh shit, prepare for trouble, make it double. My grandmother has came too!
