Mushoku tensei: The renegade heir

I quickly ran to Hilda who was gagged on the floor, she was writhing like a worm as she tried to stand up.

"ngggh!!" She gasped when she saw me approaching her and began to writhe more violently.

I knelt down beside her and used my sword to cut the ropes holding her.

"Shhh Lay Hilda, please calm down, it's me Paul" I said as I released her.

She visibly relaxed and when I released her she quickly stood up.

"Pwaah!!...P-Paul...W-Where are we?!" She screamed in panic as she looked around.

"Shhh, we're still in Ars, we're not far from my mansion, we have to go back" I muttered as I rubbed her back.

"I...I!...I was so scared Paul!..." She began to cry as she muttered so I hugged her, although it was awkward as she is taller than me due to the age difference.

"Relax, the bastards who kidnapped you are dead, they won't hurt you anymore I promise" I said while hugging her.

She hugged me tighter and started crying in my chest, I was honestly surprised since the Hilda I know is a precocious brat.

But then again I remember, she is still a child who is being used by her parents, and from how Dante behaved a while ago on the street, the bastard must have something to do with this.

I let Hilda cry for a few more moments, until I started to feel uncomfortable, after all, we were surrounded by bodies of dead bandits.

"Lady Hilda, let's go back to your parents" I said while taking her hand.

She hugged my arm tightly as we walked through the dark streets, until twenty minutes later we ran into guards from my mansion.

"Lord Paul!!...I found them!!!" The guard screamed and then took out a whistle and blew it loudly so that a few seconds later more guards arrived.

Behind them came my father and Hilda's father.

"Paul!!" my father screamed as he came running towards me.

Hilda let go of my arm and I walked towards my father.

"Dad I-

(smack!!)

My father hit me hard, sending me face downwards.

I could barely process the pain when my father picked me up again, grabbing me by the hair.

"Fucking asshole!! How dare you leave like that! What were you thinking!!" He shouted as he grabbed my hair tightly.

Huh?... What the fuck?

"Let me go!!" I shouted as I moved away from his grip and looked at him confused.

"What the fuck father? I went to save Lady Hilda!" I shouted but my father hit me again.

"That's what the guards are for, imbecile! If you died, what would happen to the Notos?!" He shouted as I looked at him in shock.

I looked behind me, towards Hilda, who was crying in her father's arms and looked back at my father.

His eyes only reflected the reproach and hatred he felt.

"I see... you "You care about your faction more than your own son, right? Hilda is my cousin, my family! You don't even care if I died?!" I shouted.

My father just grumbled while crossing his arms.

"They must have pissed someone off for that to happen to them" he declared firmly.

Ah shit, this doesn't make sense.

I simply stopped facing him and started walking back to the mansion.

Since that day I stopped talking to my father.

...

A month passed since that day and only one idea was on my mind.

My ability in battle.

Of course, I had my sword and every day I became stronger at it, but what was the point of having trained my magic so much if it was useless in battle?.

It didn't make sense right? But what could I do? There was no other way to use magic if not through chants, and if an enemy did it would close the distance between us before I finished making a powerful spell.

For that reason, the magicians in this world are weak warriors, that's why swordsmen always dominate in battle.

But what could I do if I could combine sword and magic in combat? If they sent assassins to kidnap Hilda, what were the chances of it happening to me?

That's why I put my father's issue aside and focused on what really mattered, I still have my mother on my side, so nothing else mattered.

And now... How do I activate magic more effectively?...

Julian thinks... No! Paul thinks, I have to remember the first time I used my magic.

It was with my teacher, but that was a disappointing day that I tried to forget, so let's move on...

It was in the bathroom, I never considered the idea of ​​using another method in magic but now I want to look for other ways.

To use magic there were two possible ways, by enchantment and by magic circle.

But I was looking for a third way, I could shorten the spells or just not have to use them at all.

"Hmmmm...what should I do?" I muttered as I rolled around in my bed, I had spent the whole afternoon racking my brains for some answer.

There wasn't any book out there that would give me a clear idea of ​​something like magic without enchantment...

ugghhh how fucking lazy!!...

I jumped out of bed and grabbed my wand and went out to the training area.

It was already afternoon, my training had already finished so there was no one in the area except for some guards who were finishing training.

But well, let's start! ...

But what do I do now? How do I use magic without enchantments?

"May the great protection of water be in the place you seek, I summon here and now a refreshing bubbling stream, Water Ball"

I chanted the song that I had said countless times throughout my life, a tickling sensation was generated in my hand and a ball of water was generated in front of me, so I threw it into the sky so that it would dissipate.

How do I generate that without the need for the chant? ...

All I have is a tickling sensation ... that's it!!.

I pointed my hand towards the sky again and closed my eyes as I tried to remember the sensation again.

It was like hundreds of tiny needles were pricking my hand without hurting me, it felt weird, but still, it was characteristic.

I imagined the water molecules forming and giving way to a drop, I imagined raindrops, the water of a sea, a river, a lake, a pond...

and...

I opened my eyes and in front of me, a ball of water the size of a tennis ball had formed.

"Waahh!!" I screamed in shock and the ball of water shot up into the sky again.

"I did it...I did it!!" I screamed with excitement as I started jumping all over the place with excitement.

No! Wait...don't get excited, now how do I do it again? I don't want to go through that whole process of imagining the element, it would take just as long as using an enchantment, plus the spell looked smaller...I have to know how to control it completely!!.

"Fuuuu...and now how do I replicate it? Well, think, think, think, it's a tickling sensation in your hands, right? So you just have to remember that sensation every time you want to do a spell?" I muttered to myself as I walked in circles.

This wasn't easy at all, I might even be creating a new way to use magic right here!.

Well, let's recap!

A tickling sensation, imagine the mana forming around you to form the water ball and...

(splash!)

Another water ball came out of my hand, flew and crashed into the mansion wall leaving a crater.

"Oh shit...well, that's progress!" I said to myself and a big smile formed on my face.

(splash, splash, splash!)

Water balls came out of my hand consecutively to the surroundings of the training area, each water ball was bigger than the previous one, now I was in my moment of experimentation.

You see, I tried to use an enchantment for a water ball again, it turned out to be without any problem, a water ball the size of a soccer ball that shot out of my hand at high speed.

But!, if I did it without an enchantment I could decide how much mana I wanted to put into a spell and depending on this the water ball became bigger and bigger!.

Also, something that surprised me is that if I want to make a smaller spell, the mana cost is even higher than when you want to make it bigger.

I have no idea why this is, but I guess I'll understand the more I investigate.

But, can I do it with the other spells? It could be possible, right?...

Okay, now let's focus again!...

What do I want to create?...a stone bullet would be fine, yeah, let's go with that.

I searched the training area for a possible target and settled on a simple shade tree, I could simply put it back in place with healing magic but let's not focus on that.

Well...I crouched down slightly and pointed my hand towards the tree as I closed my eyes and let out a big sigh.

A conical shaped stone...the size of a normal bullet...yes...Shit, making it so small takes a lot of mana...

Let it spin, the simple projectile does not reach a high speed on its own.

So we'll make it work like a drill, with cuts on the edges for more aerodynamics...

I opened my eyes and... a small stone of five centimeters was in front of me, but with all the qualities that I had thought.

"Yeah shit!!" I screamed with excitement and let go of the projectile.

A shockwave momentarily stunned me and the top half of the tree was practically evaporated by the impact...Well I think I went too far, technically I made a bullet there...

After repairing the tree I stood in the middle of the training area again...

The possibilities of chantless magic seemed endless to me!, and with the new addition that I can resize it depending on how much mana I use...

Shit! I could already feel a smile forming on my face from the excitement.

I just imagined taking your enemy by surprise with magic and finishing him off with the sword yeah!!!

I continued training that day and was able to do elemental magic without chanting in that single day.

Afterwards I continued with my normal life at school, there were no big changes, I spent my day in Minerva's classes and in my magic circle classes and then I returned home to train my magic.

But one thing I did notice was that Hilda behaved differently with me, How could I explain it? Well, it would be more affectionate in short.

She no longer approaches me in that seductive way that characterized her, she no longer makes advances towards me which is a relief and she now speaks like a normal girl.

I'm not an idiot either, it's obvious that the poor girl fell in love with me, although I don't blame her, I looked too handsome fighting against those mercenaries, huh?, hehe..

But I'm sorry Hilda, you'll have to wait until we're both fifteen!!

First of all, am I not attracted to children and secondly, Paul junior not yet in the age to get up, But if Hilda still has those feelings towards then, I guess I'll have to give her a chance hehehe...

...

[3rd point of view]

A fat man was totally angry as he looked out of his bedroom window.

Her room was finely decorated with every luxury anyone could dream of and on her bed...lay a girl of no more than 10 years old naked and sobbing bitterly.

But the fat man couldn't care less about this.

Only one thing was on his mind, his plan was foiled, by none other than Paul Notos Greyrat.

Because a month ago he had ordered the kidnapping of Hilda Zephyrus Greyrat, the daughter of his "ally" Dante.

The fat man waited, waited and waited for hours that day for the arrival of his precious cargo, which was the girl.

But that shipment never arrived and the next day news of the failed kidnapping attempt spread like wildfire.

The news reported that Wii Taa was responsible for rescuing the girl, but through the fat man's contacts he was able to discover the truth.

This not only made the fat man tremble with rage, but also made him fearful, as a mere nine-year-old boy could barely stand up to an advanced earth mage, Three intermediate-rank swordsmen and one advanced-rank swordsman in the North God style.

This fact consumed the fat man with terror, but he was able to breathe easy when he saw that no one was making accusations against him.

But that didn't let him rest easy, that kid was already a damn monster and if he let him continue living his position would be in danger.

And everything he fought for would be in vain, so the fat man couldn't allow that boy to continue getting stronger.

So with this fact, he took more seriously the alliance he made with Dante to try to finish off the Notos and then kill Paul Notos Greyrat.

Yes, the fat man had already made a decision and he was going to make it.

I had to kill Paul Notos Greyrat and he would do it no matter what the cost, this time he would use truly strong swordsmen and would make use of one of his most loyal slaves.
