"how are you, do you like it?" Lilia asked approaching.

The boy shook his head excitedly, something the two women couldn't tell from the boy's expressionless face.

"Well from now on you'll be called Yoriichi!" zenith shouted with a happy voice.

He couldn't be given his last name, because the last name geyrat is a last name of a noble family so when yoriichi is older he could choose his own last name.

Months had passed since the appointment of him now called yoriichi, the boy had gained more trust in the families, more in lilia and zenith, he did not like to be very close to paul because, like rudeus, he always had a perverted face that it did not give him a good thorn.

Walking through the corridors of the house he found a room he had never been in, yoriichi poked his head through the half-open door and there was rudeus lying on the floor with a bucket half filled with water.

He immediately ran out of the place where he was looking for Lilia, she would know what to do in that situation, he had no idea what to do.

Arriving where Lilia was in the kitchen preparing this afternoon's lunch, without thinking, she approached her and pulled her sleeve.

"huh, what's up yorii?" Asked the maid, seeing how the boy quickly pulled her sleeve.

Yoriichi took her by the hand and dragged her to where he had seen rudeus lying on the ground, without moving.

Arriving at the place, Yoriichi opened the door and pointed to the boy, Lilia could see Rudeus lying on the ground, passed out, she didn't know what had happened to him but when she checked, she realized that he was just exhausted.

"It's just out of stock" lilia said to yoriichi who was looking at her with

Expectation.

Lilia stood next to yoriichi and took a blanket to wrap the boy lying on the floor before taking yoriichi's hand and leaving the room.

"Look, you just have to focus on your hand and then you will feel a liquid like blood on your palm" explained rudeus to yoriichi who sat at a table watching rudeus practice magic.

After the day that Yoriichi found Dudeus passed out, he had passed every day and then he realized that Rudeus was practicing magic, at first Rudeus refused to tell him what he was doing but after days that Yoriichi went to the place he had no more choice to tell.

"Did you understand?" Rudeus asked looking at yoriichi who was looking out the window.

Yoriichi turned to where rudeus was standing looking at him and slowly shook his head.

Sigh.

"I really don't know why I insist on teaching you if you don't want to learn" Rudeus said, shaking his head slightly and sighing.

Rudeus looked at yoriichi who was looking out the window again without paying attention to him, and he came closer to see what had his now stepbrother so distracted, as he approached the window, he could see his father Paul training with the sword as he always did.

"Do you like the sword?" asked rudeus causing yoriichi to look at him and nod.

"Why don't you tell him to teach you?" Rudeus asked the boy who was looking out the window again.

Yoriichi looked at him and shrugged to continue watching the man practice, swinging his sword up and down.

Days after yoriichi and rudeus practiced they were back in the room but this time to try something new.

"Well this is an intermediate range spell, so it would be better if you stand behind me" said rudeus to yoriichi who was looking out the window again but this time seeing how the clouds were moving.

"Yoriichi got off the table he was standing on and stood behind the rudeus who had a large book in his hands.

"Okay here we go" Rudeus said with excitement in his voice.

"Flexible spirit of water and princess of the streams that run through the earth, sweep all things with your hidden inner power. Stream of water" at the end of the prayers a large ball of water began to form in rudeus's hand making Yoriichi took a few steps back to avoid getting hurt.

From one moment to the next, a large ball of water came out of rudeus's hand, making a large hole in the front wall of the house causing rudeus to fall from his ass to the floor.

From one moment to the next, Paul opened the door of the room with only a pair of pants and his sword.

"What happened?" Paul asked quickly entering the room.

"Hey, what's going on?" He said seeing rudeus on the floor and a big hole in the wall.

Yoriichi who was standing in the back didn't say anything, his gaze went to the sword that was on Paul's waist, he didn't know why but since he saw the man train with the sword it came to his mind to use a sword. .

Footsteps were heard in the hallway and after a few seconds, Zenith and Lilia came running into the room.

"Rudi/yorii, you're hurt" said both women approaching where the children were.
