Reborn As Noble

A deafening roar erupted. Both barrels fired simultaneously, the enchanted shells unleashing a blast of golden energy that instantly overwhelmed the weapon’s structure. The barrels exploded outward, shattering into twisted metal fragments, leaving only the wooden grip and the action intact in Garius’s hand, completely unharmed.

Garius tossed the broken weapon casually onto the table. It landed smoothly, settling into place as if it had been placed there deliberately.

”Good. This means this weapon could not be used effectively if enhanced with a powerful buff like mine. If the Human Nation or any enemy were to reach this level of weaponry, they would still face the same limitation. Their own enhancements would destroy their tools before they could harm us.”

Garius turned and gazed at all his sons, a knowing smirk playing on his lips.

”So... tell me, Javier.”

”Yes, Father?”

Garius pretended to rub his chin, tilting his head up as if gazing at the sky in thought. ”Marcellus mentioned earlier about... best ways of fighting, techniques, skills, and combat styles.”

Javier averted his eyes, rubbing the back of his head with a nervous chuckle.

Crap.

I know Father is going to suggest a practice duel.

Ugh! I don’t want that. It’s always the same. He pins me down, lectures me mid-fight, and acts like it’s a teaching moment. I still remember the last time we spar, he sent me flying with one finger. And he barely broke a sweat. It’s not even fun. It’s just annoying.

Garius narrowed his eyes with a confident smirk. ”How about you all show me those ’cool techniques’ of yours? Perhaps we could... measure those powers and magics in a little sparring session? What do you say?”

”Ah!” Javier suddenly pointed toward the sky, making everyone instinctively look up. In that split second, Javier bolted toward his pekko.

”Buddy!!!”

”Cuquawked!?”

Marcellus, realizing what Javier had done, didn’t hesitate. He bolted toward his own pekko, followed closely by Cedric. Even Aelius, usually calm and collected, rushed after them and leaped onto his pekko, who had been relaxing nearby.

”We’re going to handle the monsters in the forest nearby, Father!!! See you!!!”
