Chapter 41 Was This Really Made By Father?

Just as Rio was teleported away the gate of the office opened suddenly with a bang and a person stormed in without a care in the world. Normally if someone had done something.like that they would have been already killed on the spot but the person who came inside is just that special to James, afterall, he never even slapped his daughter, to this day.

After Lia barged she looked all around and found that there was no one else in the room beside James. Her eyes suddenly narrowed and she glared at James:

"Y-you... Did y-you killed him!? You didn't left his body!?" (Lia)

Hearing this James laughed bitterly and thought that this girl really has changed. She never cared about anyone but now she has started to care about someone atleast.

"No, I just gave him what was meant to his." (James)

"D-don't change the topic by talking complicated things! Tell me! where did you send him?" (Lia)

'sigh~, as expected of my daughter she also have a short temper, sigh~' (James)

"Hey! Why are you nodding your head as if you are proud or something! Could it be! You are proud of killing a weak student!?" (Lia)

'sigh~, it seems her brain is also a bit small, sigh~' (James)

After about half an hour of pointless talk, Lia finally accepted that Rio was teleported somewhere he should go and will come back eventually if he passes. And if he can really make it alive it all depends on him:

"At most it should take three days for him to come back. The rest depends on him now, if he can make it back or not." (James)

"But one thing is sure that he will be able to improve his strength. Speaking of strength you seems to have not been training regularly these days." (James)

"Y-yeah, i seem to have encountered a bottleneck and I am Stuck at peak of D-rank." (Lia)

"Okay, i will help you today since I am free let's go to the training grounds" (James)

"Y-yeah..." ( Lia)

"Don't worry about that kid, he will be fine I think, come on let's go" (James)

"Wha-wh! Who is worrying about h-him, i-i don't really care!" (Lia)

"Yeah, yeah" (James)

'seriously I am rather surprised that this idiot daughter of mine was even able to make a boyfriend, with her attitude I wonder how that kid got interested in her, sigh~' (James)

Rio's Pov:

After the light teleported Rio he suddenly found himself standing on the air. He looked down and found that he is actually at a very large height and if he dropped it can cause instant death.

Not to mention snowflakes are falling from the sky, even the air is chilly enough to freeze bones.

'well I can withstand temprature changes simply by using a small amount of mana. But the problem is something else.' (Rio)

Rio's perception has greatly improved when he used that stone from Arte tower and right now he can sense a bad premonition, the current calm seems to be the calm before a storm.

Without letting his gaurd down for a bit Rio continued to observe his surroundings, he found that the ground below is also covered in snow but his senses are telling him that even the ground is not safe.

This has now put Rio in a dilemma. If he stayed here in the sky, he will eventually run out of mana. And there seems to be other dangers on the ground.

Just as Rio was thinking about what he to do, he started to fall down, the place he was standing has disappeared before he could even react.

Looking down he found that the snow below him was radiating a dangerous aura. His senses were telling him that he should not fall on that snow at any cost.

Rio suddenly had an idea in his mind, he brought out the same wooden stick he used before to kill the ogre and moved his mana.

[Elemental sword art: serpent wind!]

Rio's body which was falling down suddenly continued to fall while moving in circles as if sliding on a coiled serpent and at the end just before reaching ground he slid in a different direction (the tail of the serpent wind was placed on that direction, think of it as Rio slid on a real serpent's body whose tail was placed away from that dangerous snow on the ground) and landed on the snow a bit farther.

Looking at the place he landed it seemed he was safe here. He got up and just as he was about to leave he suddenly thought of some. He collected a small amount of snow made a small snow ball and coated it with mana to enhance its durability a bit. (This a very crude method to enhance something and anyone with mana can do it.)

After making the snowball a bit more durable he tossed it on the ground where he was supposed to fall.

As the snow ball fell, the area of about 5 meter in radius all collapsed down revealing the sharp and huge spears placed in that trap.

'these spears are enhanced with mana and looking at that pale green colour and judging from the strange smell ... They are coated with a thick layer of poison, from the tip to the ground.' (Rio)

Without a doubt this is a trap made to kill, if he even touched that poisen it will cause huge problem.

Looking at this deadly trap, a thought came to Rio's mind:

'am I really in a place created by my own father? Or James sent me somewhere else?' (Rio)

Lia's pov:

Standing in the training ground of the silver family. She felt nostalgic. She has been training in this place since her childhood but it has now been several months since she trained here, since she was in the academy.

Remembering those days, when her father never even came home and never even talked to her, she was at loss of words.

She just can't help but think that those were really some depressing days. When even your own family refuses to talk to you and straight up ignore your existence, you can't help but doubt yourself.

The same was the case with the young Lia. She wanted to draw her father's attention to her, she wanted to tell her father about how much she had progressed but he never really paid attention.

"Hmm, why are you making a face as if you have been cheated by your boyfriend, i am telling you girl that kid really looked suspicious to me, maybe he really cheated, sigh~" (James)

"S-stop talking nonsense!" (Lia)

"I am not talking nonsense though~" (James)

Looking at Lia who seems to be pouting James laughed a bit.

'she is just like her mother, she looked same when she got angry and she then forced me to eat burnt food everytime she got angry, sigh~' (James)

"Okay, show me your sword skills, attack me with your full might. If you succeed in landing even a single blow i will buy you chocolate." (James)

"I am not a child! Eat that chocolate by yourself!" (Lia)

"Okay, you can attack now" (James)

.

.

Half an hour later:

"Haa...huff...haa" (Lia)

"You got tired already? Come on attack with all your strength!" (James)

'even though he is saying that, not even a single attack of mine has landed on him for the last half an hour. I will have to put all of my mana in one single strong attack.' (Lia)

[Silver wolf sword art: horizontal claw!]

Put all the mana in one attack, reaching James in a blink of eye Lia launched three sword attack continuously, her sword glowed silver.

James was also surprised by the proficiency Lia was showing in this attack, but he easily dodged the attack. Looking at Lia, he found that she has already fainted from exhaustion.

'I can sense it she have broken through her bottleneck. Her strength will improve in the following days now.' (James)

James summoned Lia's made and ordered her to bring Lia to her room. The maid bowed her head respectively and proceed as she was ordered.

Authors note: So, here's the question of the day, would you like to have a event with Lia's pov in it, after the current one ends obviously.

1. Yes (her status needs to be explained.)

2. Yeah (she needs more screen time!)

3. Of course, yes! (We cultured men need a regular dose of the heavenly tsundere medicine otherwise our dantian might shatter and we will not be able to continue our journey to become a heaven piercing heaven destroying otaku!)

.

Cough!...Okay, I know, i am talking too much nonsense... Cough! I will reluctantly do a tactical retreat and stop talking too much.

And there's only yes option because you know right; 'tsundere is the best! No excuses!'

.

Also don't forget to use your power stones, we have already reached rank 150 , the way is clear! We can make it to 50! Let's go!
