Mushoku tensei: The renegade heir

"Fu..." I let out a breath of air as I laid down on my bed, another month has passed since I learned how to use magic without enchantment.

My progress has been quite fast to my surprise, I can now cast advanced level spells repeatedly without enchantments!!!

Also my combo magic, which was once a challenge, has become a piece of cake with this new factor.

But I still haven't told my father or mother about it, for obvious reasons or simply selfishness on my part.

Since the attempted kidnapping of Hilda was foiled two months ago, there has not been a new incident with anything related so I was able to relax.

Hah! That's what I'd like to say, since that day Dante has been very suspicious when I meet him, in addition to the sudden affection that Hilda has developed for me lately...

I don't want to give Hilda false hope, but now that she's been acting more genuinely with me, and I have even come to treat her as a friend rather than a spoiled child.

Let me just say that Philip was not very happy about this, but he couldn't do anything more about it.

"What a dilemma..." I muttered as I rolled myself into my sheets.

My relationship with my father has not been good since that incident, we haven't exchanged words in two months and that honestly worries me, but the bastard doesn't even care about having the initiative to talk to me or ask for forgiveness, and why would I ask for forgiveness for something I didn't do?...

These situations have only been running through my head the last few days generally.

"I guess tomorrow will be another day..." I muttered to myself as I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

...

(Slashh!!, clack!, track!)

The sound of two wooden swords striking each other repeatedly filled the training area.

I was training with Melisa, it was afternoon and I was on the verge of exhaustion.

Every time our swords collided, a numbness ran through my body, my hands screamed for me to let go of the wooden sword, but I said no!!

It's not enough!!, this is nothing!, I'm not able to defend myself with this!!

Melisa is a Sword Saint capable of using a long sword of light, the signature attack of her style.

For many, her title is something that many can barely dream of, but she was only a 24-year-old woman, she certainly has tremendous potential.

"Concentrate young master, clear your mind of all useless thoughts and swing your sword harder!" She shouted.

"nnng!!" I just growled in response and jumped back to put distance.

Now I was focused on learning the long sword of silence, which as its name suggests, breaks the sound barrier with its speed.

If I learn this technique I will automatically become a Sword advanced.

Apparently to achieve this I have to learn to control something that my three sword masters called "Touki".

It's basically a kind of Aura that surrounds your body and can increase your physical capabilities to inhuman levels.

That's why Saint-rank and above swordsmen can move at speeds greater than that of light...

I won't lie if I say that I don't know how the hell to activate this "Touki", but it seems that I have recently felt that my body has become much stronger than usual.

And again all my teachers told me that the "Touki" is activated with rigorous training, like the one I am currently having.

But well...how do I use this aura at will?...Is it like mana? Should I simply concentrate or imagine that it is around my body?...

"Haaaa!!!" I shouted as I jumped up and pointed my wooden sword at Melisa's neck, but she blocked the attack and smiled too.

"That's it young master, that one was stronger than the previous ones, keep it up!!" She said before counterattacking and sending me flat on my ass to the ground.

I didn't let this stop me and charged towards her again.

Fuuu...it's just about concentrating on that energy moving in your body, right? I hope it behaves the same as mana...

Wait a minute, isn't that manna too, just in a more concentrated form?...

Melisa blocked another attack to her hip and turned 180 degrees hitting me in the ribs knocking the air out of my lungs.

I fell to my knees on the ground for a moment as I tried to breathe and tried to find a way to use my "Touki" to freedom.

It's like manna, isn't it?, Mana can be molded, it can become something more.

After all, mass is never destroyed, it only transforms...

I focused on my sword, I had to put my Touki into my sword, Melisa had told me, that's how you make a long sword of light.

Suddenly I felt that sensation, the tiredness left me, the muscles that had been burning before were now relaxed and the air had returned to my lungs.

"I think I understand now..." I muttered as I opened my eyes and looked at Melisa directly.

She just raised an eyebrow and got back into combat stance.

I slowly got up from the ground, got into a combat stance, crouching slightly and...

I jumped, leaving a small crater in the ground. My speed caught Melisa off guard and I made a diagonal cut with my wooden sword, just at the moment when it reached its maximum speed, a small explosion was heard at the tip

As if it were a whip, the tip of my sword broke the sound barrier and my attack was soundless.

In shock, Melisa was barely able to stop the attack that was headed for her hip but I could see that she staggered slightly.

Ooooh...she definitely wasn't expecting me to do that hehe...

Uggg...but I think I went a little too far, after all it was the first time I used that technique and now my right arm burns like hell...

"Young master..." Melisa murmured in shock "t-that was... a longsword of silence?!..." In the end she said as if the words were impossible for her to believe.

"I don't know, was it?..." I muttered while inspecting my arm.

Haaa...torn tendon, because of the adrenaline and the fact that my body is warm it doesn't hurt that much. But I have to keep up appearances so I started chanting healing magic on myself.

Melissa continued to look at me in shock for a while and then blinked several times.

"Y-yes, yes it was...young master Paul, congratulations you are now an advanced rank in the God Sword style" she said at the end with a smile

"Thank you teacher..." I said bowing out of respect and also to hide my silly smile.

And so my training for the day ended, I went to my father to announce my progress and then returned to my room where I took a shower and lay down to sleep, it wasn't that late, around six o'clock, But my body couldn't take it anymore so I fell asleep easily.

It was late at night, maybe it was because of my early nap that I woke up in the middle of the night or something, I simply opened my eyes in the middle of the night and stared at the ceiling

"I'm an Sword Advanced..." I muttered to myself and a smile formed on my lips "Hehehehe!! Damn it! When have you ever heard of an Sword Advanced so young? Never!!" I rejoiced as I rolled around in my bed like a worm

No! Don't let it go to your head!!,But still, from what Melisa said, I've never seen someone so young reach my level, according to her words she became advanced at 17 and a saint at 22

Could it be possible that I have inhato talent? Surely and that's comforting

(yawn)

Well, I guess it's time to sleep again

...

(Screak...crack!)

Hmmm?

Suddenly I heard the sound of my bedroom window slowly opening, the cold air of dawn made me shiver slightly and I stood still

(footstep, footstep, footstep)

I could hear weak footsteps going from the window to my room....oh shit!!, who the hell could it be at this hour?, and how do I get past the guards?, is it a murderer or something?...

Because of the darkness I couldn't see anything I could only see a small shadow approaching me, I moved slightly under my blanket while concentrating the mana in both hands, I was a little tired but with magic I could defend myself...right??

The figure walked until it was in front of my bed and...

In front of me was a woman... no, she looked like a girl, she was wearing a leather dress that stuck to her skin, her breasts and hips were not developed, she was definitely a girl or maybe a boy? Because of the darkness I couldn't see well but... she had a dagger in her right hand and was about to attack me!! shit!!

With a Sonic boom i removed that person from me, she staggered until she crashed into a closet but nothing else and immediately after, she lunged at me at a terrifying speed.

I used another Sonic Boom to get out of its path, but it was too fast and I felt a big cut on my shoulder.

"nggh!!!" I choked back the pain by biting my tongue as I concentrated the mana into my good arm.

That speed...it was a long sword of light, without a doubt.

Shit!!, I didn't even have time to process the pain properly when the woman lunged at me again, I instinctively ducked and her sword grazed my hair

She was as fast as Melisa...but she's slower than Wii Taa, if she had never trained with him, she would be dead already!!

The woman noticed my dodge and with a turn of her feet she made an arc with her sword towards my hip.

I barely had time to conjure a stone wall, but she cut through it like butter.

But with that little moment I made another sonic boom and I crashed against the wall.

The woman looked at me with the eyes of a dead fish, she moved like a zombie...

"Haaa!!" I threw air bolts at her but she repelled them effortlessly.

Water God Style...

"tch!!, die bitch!!" I screamed as I threw stone bullets at her that she continued to dodge and repel effortlessly.

I took a step back and threw a stone spear at him followed by a fireball.

She was able to dodge the spear and narrowly repelled the fireball that crashed into my bed, setting it on fire...

But I took advantage of this slight moment of distraction from her and summoned a Quagmire in front of me.

As the room was dark she didn't notice and fell right into the trap, losing her balance in the process.

She opened her eyes wide and threw another long sword of light at me, which I barely managed to avoid taking a leap to the side.

"Shit! Where's my sword?..." I muttered.

I was disoriented for some reason, I felt dizzy and nauseous...

Shit! The sword has poison!! I could barely think about that when the woman freed herself from the mud and charged towards me.

Instinctively I conjured another wall of earth but even harder than before.

His sword got stuck slightly in the ground but he was able to cut through the wall after all...

But I took advantage of this simple moment of distraction and threw a huge stone bullet at her, but as I expected she cut it in half, but I wanted her to do that.

I was feeling disoriented, his sword was poisoned and he seemed to be losing consciousness, I had to end this quickly...

She moved at the speed of light, dodging and repelling each of my magic attacks...until I threw another stone bullet at her, about thirty centimeters long.

The bullet broke the sound barrier and in less than a second it was just centimeters away from killing the woman, but she was faster and split it in half, deflecting the attack.

But I was expecting that, as the moment she cut the bullet, an explosion occurred inside it and tiny fragments of stone flew towards her.

As if it were shrapnel from a grenade.

The fragments were embedded in his entire face and eyes, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the floor and then crash into the wall.

"aaaargh!!!" She screamed, that was the first sound I heard her make in our entire fight.

She got up from the ground brushing off the rubble, but her eyes were already burst, she was crying blood and screaming in agony.

I took advantage of these moments to use detoxifying magic on myself which worked.

"Wha...that was close..." I muttered as I approached her.

She apparently sensed my footsteps, grabbed her sword and started slashing at the air at high speed... shit, this is a problem.

But that disadvantage of his was enough for me to take my own sword and cut off both of his arms, which earned me another cry of pain from him.

Now unable to defend himself, he tackled her to the ground effortlessly.

She didn't weigh too much, and she had the build of a girl...and from what I see her hair is blue...

Shit...how disappointing, a girl with so much potential wasted trying to kill me...

"Who do you work for..." I muttered.

She didn't answer and continued to shake like a worm.

But...

[I'll kill you, I'll kill you, I'll kill you!!!]

Shit...that's the Demon God's language, right?...if it weren't for my classes at the academy I wouldn't know this.

[Who do you work for? Who sent you and why?] I muttered in the Demon God language

The woman stopped shaking slightly and began to tremble.

"You can kill me, but there are more like me, he will send them against you and kill you!!" She screamed.

[He?, who is that he?, who sent you?] I continued.

"yeaaaagh!!!" She screamed and...stopped moving.

"What? What the hell happened?" I muttered as I lifted him up.

Looking at her more closely I could see that she had foam at the mouth and was vomiting blood.

Did she poison herself?...

"Young Master Paul!!!" A guard shouted and burst into my room interrupting my train of thought.

"You're late, stupid..." I complained and spat on the ground.

The guard just gaped at the mess in my room and I just dropped to the floor in exhaustion.

...

It turned out that the woman was called Rola, and she was a very feared serial killer, her list seemed endless and was only of high and mid-ranking nobles.

Also, it seems that she was from a race of demons called Migurds who live on the Demon Continent, and they have the characteristic of appearing to be children until they are 150 years old...so Rola's age is unknown.

She appeared several years ago when she killed the leader of the Joylore house and since then she killed many more nobles.

She was a Sword Saint and a Water Saint, which made her a terrifying opponent, and made me realize that I barely survived by a miracle.

My mother hugged me tightly and cried when she found out, but when my father found out that I came out of that fight okay, he just made a "hmmp!" sound and left without saying a word...

I guess this is something I have to work out with him, no?.
