Chapter 32 - Request

nLeona then looked at Desmond seriously after she'd finished hugging him.
"Boy, is there an explanation?
"
nDesmond already knew this was going to happen. He wasn't going to lie, even if this fact sounded a little scary to a child.
n
"Okay, Mom. Can we discuss it in a private room?
"
n
"No, your sister must know, too.
"
n*sigh *
"Okay.
"
n
"Let's go to the dining room.
"
nAlice, who had heard Desmond's talk earlier, didn't understand the point. She just hoped that Desmond would not get punished.
n…
nIn the dining room, after everyone had sat down, Desmond then began to speak,
"So it was just my instinct.
"
nAs Bastian and Leona heard this, they narrowed their eyes at Desmond.
n
"Is that true?
" Leona also gave off a hint of ice, which made the air in the dining room cold.
nAs for Bastian, even though he was just silent, it could be said he was earnest about this. From the start, he had clenched his fists while looking at Desmond seriously.
n
"Yes, I just wanted to protect my sister.
" This time, Desmond looked at them with a determined look, not a shred of doubt in his words.
nThere was silence for the next few seconds; Alice did not dare to give her opinion when she saw the eyes of her father and mother.
nThe silence broke when Leona talked to Desmond. * sigh *
" I'm glad you don't have that hobby.
"
n
"Yeah, son, while we were on the way, she kept worrying about this.
"
nLeona always wondered whether her son had killed for fun or tried to protect his sister. After the results of Noel's investigation, Leona was relieved that the shop owner was also a criminal and confused.
nDid her son know that the owner of this shop was a criminal? Is this accidental?
nPsychopath? Desmond, who understood what his mother meant, smiled and replied,
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm not what you think. Besides that, I've also heard that there was something wrong with the shop owner.
"
nLeona nodded repeatedly but then realized.
"Shut up. Has any 3-year-old kid killed someone?!
" Even though Leona yelled at him, she also hugged Desmond while stroking his hair.
n
"My-little Bro-ther.
" Alice, who heard that Desmond had killed someone for her sake, became shocked and felt guilty.
nWhen Bastian saw Alice's condition, he did not hesitate to do the same as Leona,
"Calm down, sweetie, your brother is not normal.
n
"Have you forgotten that we were almost shocked by your brother, who could speak normally at the age of one year?
n
"Is that normal? No! Normal children just hug their father and say, 'father ... father ... you cool.
"
nAfter hearing his father made fun of his brother, Alice chuckled a bit.
nDesmond only smiled wryly. Am I not normal in front of them?
n
"No, he is my son, genius number one. He's just too smart and smart is normal !
" Leona, who heard Bastian mock his child, snapped and denied the fact that Desmond was abnormal.
n...
nAfter Bastian and Leona resolved Desmond's problem, Desmond then spoke,
"Father, mother, I want a teacher.
"
nThundershock occurred in Bastian and Leona's minds, which made them freeze. Their expressions were shocked, as if they received news that tomorrow's kingdom would be disbanded.
nBastian came over to Desmond and grabbed his shoulder tightly.
"Why ?! Is your father not enough to teach?
"
nMeanwhile, Leona had muttered something.
"Did my son betray me? Why? Where am I going wrong?
"
nEven though Desmond wanted to explain the details, he couldn't because his father kept asking the same questions and always shook his body while his mother kept making noise.
n
"Father, Mother, STOP !
" Alice snapped.
nBastian stopped, held Desmond's shoulder, and Leona also calmed down and started to focus.
n
"* ehm * So, let me explain. Apart from you guys, who rarely taught me, I decided to find a teacher. I mean, a teacher who can teach me sword techniques, magic, and general knowledge in advance.
"
nWhen Bastian and Leona heard this, their jaw dropped. They looked at Desmond with a complicated expression.
"Son, where did you get this information? Ah, I forget he is abnormal.
"
n
"No, he isn't! Let me explain.
"
n
"Boy, the reason we don't give you a teacher is that usually kids your age will play and are still curious about the world. Only when they reach the age of 6 will they start participating in community activities.
"
nLeona then looked at Desmond again from bottom to head.
"Maybe people mistakenly think you're six years old.
n
"And when kids are ten years old, we as parents will send you to an academy. The job of parents is only to teach the children the basics.
"
nAfter Leona finished speaking, Desmond had absent-mindedly processed the new information he had received.
nAlice, who heard the word academy, became enthusiastic.
"Then I'm going to the academy?! But I want to go to the academy with my brother!
"
n
"Okay, okay, relax, sweetie. First, you will go alone and secure the academy for your brother.
"
n
"Hump, of course, that is a big sister's job!
" Although Alice answered proudly, Desmond could feel that she was also a little scared.
n
"Okay, now all the matter has been resolved; let's take a break first, okay, honey?
" Leona winked at Bastian.
n
"Yeah, we are exhausted now.
" Bastian did not understand Leona. He only expressed what he felt.
nLeona became sullen as she looked away. Then she saw ice cream and immediately ate it.
n
"Mmm ... this is delicious. Which servant made it?
"
n
"I made it, Mom!
" Alice snapped. She was annoyed but also proud that she could make her mother say it was delicious.
n
"Wow, my sweetie is really good at cooking,
" Bastian praised. He was pleased with Alice more than once. Leona just snorted at him and continued to eat.
n.

nAfter the family reunion was over, night came, and they returned to their rooms.
nDesmond sat cross-legged in bed in his room, reading information about his mother and father.
n
nName: Bastian
nGender: Male
nAge: 33
nRace: Human
nClass: 1st Swordsman
/1stWizard
nOccupation: Officer
nUnique Energy: 36.13
nStrength: 35.00
nAgility: 30.00
nStamina: 7.57
n
n
nName: Leona
nGender: Female
nAge: 31
nRace: Human
nClass : 2ndWizard
nOccupation: Master Witch
nUnique Energy: 45.26
nStrength: 15.00
nAgility: 15.00
nStamina: 11.20
n
nFather has a significant improvement in agility and strength, only lacking in energy. In contrast, mother had no change in agility and strength but has a significant energy improvement.
nAre these the advantages of being a dual-class? Then I'll focus on the swordsman first because it looks so easy to improve.
n
"I don't have much time. I think I'm going to hunt demons for energy.
" From the age of 10, Bastian and Leona will send Desmond to the academy, where at least he can be stronger than anyone, including his academy teacher, to protect Alice.
nI don't want something bad to happen like in some novels, where the protagonist doesn't have enough strength to protect his loved ones nor family.
nDesmond knew that the academy was not only a place to seek knowledge. It was also a competition for wealth between heirs and competitors to find the right match.
nDesmond also understood that Alice's beauty was sure to cause a lot of trouble.
n
"That's the plan, training, kill a demon and discover the secret underground,
" After that, he started meditating.
