Chapter 91: To win, to survive
“Yes, that’s it~~~. Well then, next up, President senpai and Dustin senpai, Ibuki, please~~~”
In rotation with Gulf and the others, this time it was Christille and the others’ turn to take care of the children.
“So, how are the kids?”
“For now, compared to when I was their age, they’re really strong.”
There was some surprise, but it was a strength that Gulf could accept.
“…Ishud. Are you planning to create your own personal army?”
“President senpai asked me the same thing, but I don’t have any intention like that. Once they turn twenty, they’ll each go their own way. Didn’t you listen to what I said, big boobs?”

“Even if your words hold no lies, one cannot help but doubt at least once. Isn’t that right, Phillip?”
“Yeah~~~… Well, that’s true. This time I agree with Michela’s opinion.”
It was a natural outcome, but Philip and the others won the mock battle against several opponents.
While they weren’t accustomed to fighting against multiple humans, they had experienced fighting monsters many times before. Therefore, it wasn’t too difficult for them to handle the children… On the contrary, since they never held back against their friends or Ishud, they found it harder to go easy on the children.
“To be honest, they were much stronger than I expected. I mean, if they’ve been trained by active knights, it’s only natural, but… isn’t this a bit dangerous?”
“Hmm~~~… I don’t really have much to compare to, so I don’t know.”
Not only the children currently fighting against Christille and the others, but also those children of active knights and soldiers serving the Regula family, who had already decided to follow in their parents’ footsteps, could receive suitable education from the beginning.
Therefore, at least the children living in the mansion Ishud built weren’t particularly special.
“But being praised by you guys to that extent means they’re definitely promising for the future, right?”
“Yes, indeed… Even if someone among those children were to emerge as a rival to us in the future, it wouldn’t be surprising.”
“I totally agree with that. Hey, Ishud, I might ask something you can’t answer again, but are you doing any special training?”
Ad
“No, not at all. It’s not like I’m hiding anything; I just don’t feel like I’m doing any particularly special training. But you know, Philip and big boobs had to do more than just training because they were heirs and heiresses.”
“That’s right. To live as nobles… wait, are you saying they’re doing nothing but training all day long???”
The thought of it being abuse crossed their minds, but Ishud quickly denied it.
“No way. We’re teaching them proper reading, writing, and arithmetic. And for those interested, we also teach geography and history. But basically, since they’re mostly the children of knights, soldiers, or adventurers, a lot of them aren’t interested in those things.”
“So, the children who can at least read, write, and do basic math are spending all their other time on training.”
“Yeah. Since they’re still growing, we tell them to go to bed around nine, they always eat full meals, so there’s really no issue.”
““…””
Philip and Michela really wanted to interject with a loud “That’s not the issue at all!!!”
“…Sigh~~~. It’s truly, frightening in many ways. But what do they do for so many hours?”
“Those who can handle magic also undergo training in magic manipulation. And even those who already have their main weapons decided sometimes train with different weapons or engage in mock battles.”
Ad
“Using weapons other than their main ones? So, they’re already training with their secondary weapons?”
“…Some might be training with that mindset. However, using weapons other than their main ones is training designed to simulate combat with opponents who actually use those weapons.”
After about ten seconds of contemplation, all three quickly grasped the meaning behind such training, given their excellent skills and intelligence in combat.
“…Truly, it’s terrifying.”
“I simply passed down the training I underwent. And it’s not like it’s enforced. I just let them know that there are training methods like this.”
As Ishud stated, he never once forced the children to undergo the same training he did.
But… precisely because the children looked up to Ishud to some extent, they couldn’t help but want to emulate what he had done.
“…But, Ishud, even though I’ve slacked off quite a bit myself, isn’t it still true that mastering one weapon, a main weapon, is the most important?”
“I don’t deny that it’s one perspective. However, even if you only focus on that path, there’s no guarantee you’ll master it.”
It might be interpreted as denying someone’s efforts.
However, the fact remains that not everyone can reach the pinnacle of their chosen path.
“If putting in effort recklessly doesn’t necessarily proportionately improve your skills, then understanding the characteristics of other weapons and honing the ability to win… to survive even just a little, would be much more beneficial than just mastering your main weapon.”
To Ishud’s theory, Gulf, being a commoner, immediately expressed agreement with a “Ah, I see!!!”
On the other hand, Philip and Michela… understood.
They understood, but ultimately, while Gulf had been given new knowledge within his existing framework of understanding, for them, it was more akin to their existing understanding being shattered and rebuilt.
(Hmm~~~… Anyway, anyone who has ever ridiculed Ishud as a barbarian or savage should probably apologize until their heads are buried in the ground.)
(This man… he doesn’t truly intend to dominate the world, does he? If this man were to get serious…!! I don’t even want to think about it.)
Philip, as usual, felt a mixture of fear and apprehension towards Ishud… but the joy of realizing that there was still the potential for him to become stronger triumphed above all else.
