Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System
87 Richard’s training (part 3)
While the adults kept on casually chatting, as if the students of the elite class weren't giving their all to win a game, Daimon noticed his mother augmented the speed of her casting once again.
The difference was of a mere second, but even such a little change made the whole rhythm of the "battle" change, Daimon augmented the output of the lightning around his body, the sound of electricity humming echoed through the whole place.
Calvin which was still laying in the ground near the platform suddenly "revived", when a missed lightning bolt hit his body.
"Ouch, hey I'm already out why I'm still being attacked!!!".
Boris stopped talking with Richard, he somehow forgot to move Calvin out of the nearby area of the platform, but at this point he just shrugged.
"Move your ass out of the way if you don't want to be fried by the lightnings of those two!!!".
Calvin sighed, his body was still numb due to the impact, he overestimated the power of a one star ranked spell, Leslie's fire wasn't that hard to resist with his own body, fire is not solid after all, and Leslie didn't want to burn her classmate so her spell was controlled to explode instead.
Liliana on the other hand didn't mind to give Calvin a little lesson, so her attack landed with enough force to make Calvin flew a couple of meters away from the platform, he wasn't really wounded, so he just laid down to recover from the shock.
Since no one seemed to care about his well-being he stood up, dusted off his clothes and walked towards Boris and the others before he sat on the floor to wait for the outcome of the game.
Michael saw Calvin lazing around and he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't lose his focus, Yvonne kept trying to make him lost his cool, her attacks always aimed at the face of the chest, Leslie focused on cutting any escaping routes and Liliana was in charge of looking for an opening to finish him off.
"God damn, sooner or later these three are going to get me", he thought, Michael was using wind not only to make his body lighter, he even used it to avoid the attacks, by creating little gusts of wind he was able to make his body float for a couple of milliseconds, to avoid attacks bending his body in weird angles.
Richard nodded.
"I don't remember ever witnessing such an interesting technique, so it seems you were right little Ogien, that kid is being sponsored by some hidden old monster, the question is if it is a hermit half emperor, of it it's just some grumpy antisocial Archmage hahaha".
Just as Michael thought at some point he couldn't keep up, but his defeat was different than what he thought, Yvonne shot a dark arrow at his neck which he could avoid, the problem was that when he tried to step in the floor he slipped because Liliana's previous ice attacks melted in the ground.
Still, he reacted in time and threw his body forward successfully avoiding Liliana's attack, but in a funny turn of events Leslie's fire hit his back putting an end to the game, since Richard didn't declare the winner, all the girls now focused on Daimon.
Aisha laughed as she coordinated with the others to caught her son.
"A bunch of girls and only you in the stage, just how you like it darling ♥".
Daimon mentally sighed, before things could get out of hands he disappeared from where he was standing and the next thing the girls knew was that Daimon was standing behind them.
"I retire", he said with a slightly tired voice.
Only after that, Richard shouted.
"The girls win, so the loser side will have to do push-ups until they sweat".
"Mm?", without any warning Boris put on a device similar to the shackles of despair in Calvin's arms and threw him to the platform, at this point Calvin was well rested so he managed to graciously land on his two feet, only to lose balance due to the sudden increase on his weight.
Richard laughed.
"Thanks, little Ogien, as I was saying the loser side has to do the push-ups, Daimon, Michael how much do you weight?".
"54 Kilograms".
"70 kilograms".
They respectively told Richard their weights and the number "124 kg", appeared in the chackles Calvin was using.
Boris nodded.
"Okay now the "whole" loser side is going to do push-ups until Calvin is completely covered in sweat, and if he stops midway then he will stay here for the rest of the day, while we take a little break".
Calvin nearly fainted, "come on how is that fair, at least make Michael receive the same punishment, he also got done in by the girls".
Unfortunately, everyone ignored Calvin's complains, both the adults and the students sat in the floor over a blanket to have some drinks and snacks.
While Michael was eating some cookies and enjoying Calvin's misfortune, Daimon got to see a completely different side of Richard, apparently outside of training time, he was just a doting grandfather.
Like always Daimon and Aisha were sitting next to each other, Michael was looking directly at the platform as if seeing Calvin being punished was some kind of tv show, the Risha girls were sitting one after the other in front of Daimon, well two of the girls at least, because Yvonne was surrounded by her mother and Richard.
While Irina was peeling some kind of fruit for her daughter, Richard poured in cup of tea for her.
"Yvi, tell grandpa everything, how has the academy treated you, I brought the spring dew tea you like so much".
Yvonne felt Daimon and Aisha looking at such a "lovely" familiar exhibition and she wanted to dig a hole to hide, normally these two are so fierce in public, but when they are with her things change quite a bit, Liliana and Leslie are used to it, but for others it's quite surprising.
Aisha laughed at her friend uncomfortable situation, Daimon on the other hand only shrugged, he also enjoyed spoiling his "family" members, Aisha and Aura specially, in fact he took a piece of cake from the snacks that were free for everyone to eat and cut a little piece with a fork before offering it to his mother.
"Mm ♥", Aisha of course accepted her son's offering, the girls were used to see them doing this kind of things, Richard was too focused on listening to his granddaughter, but Irina on the other hand saw that little interaction and she felt a bit confused.
"These siblings are quite close, I wonder in the name of mana, did the Revy matriarch found them… and in what situation, the younger brother is always in guard, he might seem relaxed but even now I can feel he is paying attention to his surrounds".
Since the day Aisha fought against the manticore Daimon gave himself the task to always be aware of his surroundings, what Irina and others with high perception could feel was faint traces of the passive skill "sixth sense", the same skill that allowed Daimon to understand a bit about space laws to learn "blink".
In fact, Daimon learned how to combine it with the truth seeker eye, to produce an incredible effect, he could see in his mind the whole area around 30 meters from him, as if he had eyes in the sky, he could see even the tiniest details so there were no blind spots for him in that state.
He could still use only sixth sense to avoid Aisha's attacks even when she augmented her casting speed, but if he wanted to keep up with his mother, Yvonne, Liliana and Leslie without the option to retaliate, he would have needed to use also the truth seeker eyes at the same time.
The only problem was that such an amazing skill also had a high cost, the huge amount of data processed by Daimon while he used that put on quite a bit of tension on his mind.
The first time he activated it he had a headache that lasted almost a week, and even after training for almost three years the most he can use it without suffering any side effects is just thirty minutes.
The picnic continued, Calvin had a good physical condition, but this time it played against him, because even with the extra weight it would take some time until he was fully covered in sweat.
Now that Richard finished listening to his granddaughter's academy life, he focused his attention on Daimon again, and like before he was quite frank with his words.
"Kid, are you going to participate in the exploration of the magic ruin?".
Everyone stopped what they were doing to listen to his answer, especially Aliya, but as if he didn't care about the serious mood, Daimon just shrugged as he answered.
"I don't know, it's going to depend in how I feel like, the day when the results of the investigation of the Greenwich Sage arrive to Lykos".
This time even Richard was speechless, when he heard "depending in how I feel like", Aisha hugged Daimon's arm and gave him a hopeful gaze which he perfectly understood.
"Of course, if our friends are forced to go, then I will have to take that into account… my sister is having quite a fun time with Yvonne, Liliana and Leslie after all".
Michael rose his cup.
"That's good to know class rep, don't forget I alone can't prevent Calvin from tripping with a stone and dying like an idiot at the entrance of the magic ruin hahaha".
Calvin which was trying to force his sweat to come out of his body couldn't help but reply.
"Oi I'm not such an idiot to die like that, let me inform you that the only moment where I'll be willing to bite the dust, is after I have had at least one hundred children to inherit my legacy!!!".
"Aghh… what the hell these things are defective".
Boris shook his head, he waved his hand and the number on the shackles Calvin was using changed from 124 kg, to 248 kg, which made Calvin fell face down to the ground.
"May the heavens protect us from seeing a day where you have that many direct descendants", thought Boris.
