6-Chapter 1-4

It's been about six months since I started studying. In my studies with my mom, I'm still being taught the basic theory of magic. I'm still not allowed to actually use magic. Dad says he's overprotective about it, but he doesn't say it to Mom face to face. I've been trying to teach her magic in secret for a couple of months now, and I got screwed over a lot. That was the moment I saw the power dynamic between the two of them. My dad said.

'Don't go against your mother! The right thing to do is to stop wasting your time and be quiet.

And that was that. Aside from that, I don't know if it's because of that, but I feel like my studies with my dad have become a little less restrictive. Lately, I've even learned how to use a knife to judge simple prey. Then two shadows approached me.

'Are you doing well, Temma?'

Are you keeping up with your studies? Temma.

This is Uncle Mark and his wife, Aunt Martha.

'Hello, Uncle and Aunt Mark. I'm trying my best, but it's difficult.

We both laughed at me as I replied back.

You're three years old and you're good at that.

Yeah, I remember when I was Tenma's age, I used to cry at the sight of blood.

The two of them laughing. More and more villagers are coming to talk to me when I'm outside, like these two, asking my dad to teach me things. From what I've learned from these things, there are no children of my age in this village... or rather, there don't seem to be any children themselves.

The children of the villagers are all past the age of majority and most of them have left the village to become adventurers in larger towns.

In this world, they are usually treated as adults after the age of 18, but in some cases they can start coming of age at age 15. Well, most of them are the children of nobles and great merchants.

'What's wrong with Temma?'

No, it's nothing, Dad.

There are three continents and many island nations in this world. This village is located in the Kingdom of Krastin, a nation on the largest of these continents, the continent of Urens. In this continent, there is the Duchy of Humble in the north of the kingdom, and the largest country on the continent, the Republic of Gilst, in the east, where the three countries have formed an alliance. In addition, there are several other small countries that have settled in the southeast. This village is located on the edge of the territory of the powerful "Count of the Frontier" of the "Krastin Kingdom". The name of the village is 'Kukri Village' and the nearby forest is called 'Grand Old Man's Forest'.

''Temma?''

It's okay, Dad.

And this "Grand Old Man's Forest" is very vast, and has an area almost the same size as the territory of Japan in the previous generation.

It's an uncivilized area with abundant resources, but the deeper you go into the forest, the stronger the monsters become, and three previous kings had tried several times to organize troops to capture it, but they had failed.

You will be able to find some of the most powerful and powerful dungeons in the kingdom, but you will also be able to find some large dungeons in the kingdom, and you will be able to successfully rebuild your kingdom. Nowadays, there's no need to poke around in the bushes and let out snakes, the soldiers who belong to the kingdom rarely come.

"Temma, hey Temma!

What, Dad?

"You're acting weird, mumbling something, are you sure you're OK?

Yeah, I'm just tired.

Really? Then let's take a little break.

With that, he sat me down in the shade of a tree, and my dad moved away a bit to talk to my uncle and aunt. I activated my 'appraisal' for the three of them.

And that's what comes to mind. C is roughly the average ability value, the number next to the skill represents the level, the maximum is 10, 1-3 is beginner, 4-6 is intermediate, 7-8 is advanced, 9 is expert, and 10 is called superhuman. 5 is the average level here. However, these levels are only technical, and there are differences in power and effectiveness depending on physical ability and physical condition.

(That's pretty good for a father to be able to do.)

Incidentally, Tenma's current abilities are

The parentheses are the effect of concealment, which allows you to hide or tamper with any title, ability, or skill by the amount of your level. The reason why his abilities are low is probably because he is still small, and I expect him to grow up in the future.

''Speaking of which, Mark, what happened to your wise old man?''

'Come on, you're a freak. Maybe you changed your mind halfway through and stopped to leave?

Maybe.

Tenma wasn't too interested in what Ricardo and the others were talking about, but it hadn't occurred to him yet that this wise man would later have a great effect on him.
