"delicious."

Debbie smiled happily and asked again:

"Would you like to take a shower after resting for a while?"

"want."

p.s. When I was making the revisions, I inexplicably felt that Gawain was a bit like the Primarch. Indeed, his experience was more like the Primarch's than Superman's.

Chapter 6 Half a Year

In the eyes of Lolz and Debbie, Gawain integrated into this family in an instant and had no difficulty adapting. The only thing that made people worry was probably that Gawain was always unwilling to call them "Dad" or "Mom".

But this was also normal. After all, Gawain was raised by Grandma Elinarize, wasn't he? Given Grandma Elinarize's appearance, it was normal for her to have always regarded her as her mother.

The day after Gao Wen came to this house.

It was a sunny day, and the whole family went out together to buy a wooden table, two high-end wooden chairs with adjustable height, a small bookcase, and a lot of fresh ingredients. Debbie said enthusiastically that she wanted to hold a grand welcome party. It seemed that there was no preparation yesterday because the Roltz couple believed that even if their family was willing to adopt Gawain, they would definitely be rejected after seeing their actual family situation, so they saved the money conservatively.

Roltz originally planned to buy the cabinet that had been agreed upon before, but Gawain stopped him and said that he wanted him to make it himself, which moved Roltz so much that he almost cried. However, Gawain, who was curious about the carpenter's work process, had no idea why Roltz had that expression.

After returning home from shopping, everyone worked together to rearrange Gawain and Sylphiette's bedrooms, and cleared out two wooden boxes specifically for the brother and sister's personal belongings, including a small number of clothes.

After Gawain sorted and arranged his personal belongings, the Rolds family began to prepare for the welcome party. Gawain, the protagonist of the welcome party, had to participate. It was said to be grand, but in fact there were only four people. Seeing that everyone seemed very happy, Gawain did not spoil the fun.

The next day.

The news that the Lorze family adopted a son who was about five years old had spread throughout the village. Paul Greylat, one of the few friends of the Lorze family, naturally came to visit them and learned that Gawain was once Elina Lijie's adopted son.

"Elina Lijie asked me to come to you and learn the swordsmanship of the three major factions."

After all, Gawain had been raised by Elina Lijie, so he had a very bad attitude towards the brown-haired, green-eyed, pigtailed, teardrop-shaped man in front of him.

"Ah, just like my son, he's still a total brat."

Paul's choice of words was very similar to Elina Lijie's, and Gawain's attitude towards Paul became even worse.

"Boy, how far have you progressed in swordsmanship?"

"Only intermediate level of Water God Style."

The Sword God Style, the Northern God Style, and the Water God Style are the three most popular, complete, and powerful sword schools in the world. Practicing any one of them to the end can gain the level of a great power, that is, the power that can rival an entire country. It is the only choice for people with a little talent who want to climb up.

However, Elinalize is a magic swordsman who uses sword, shield, and magic. The style she is good at and uses has almost nothing to do with the three major factions. The little water god style she knows has been completely learned by Gao Wen.

As for Elina Lijie's proposal to teach Gawain sword and shield techniques, it was also rejected by Gawain. In his opinion, as a Vitrum person, there is no need for him to use a shield at all. After all, it is not certain that he can find materials stronger than his own flesh to make a shield. Even sword skills can only be used as a reference and a whetstone for practicing combat techniques.

You know, the Sword God Style's proud sword of light is nothing more than an ordinary slash at low supersonic speed in his eyes. What skills are needed to achieve such a thing?

Only the magic of this world amazed Gawain.

The knowledge base of the [Cultivation System] also contains a large number of records about magic or similar power systems, but the magic of this "human world" is also quite outstanding and outrageous in some aspects.

The first is attack magic. In his opinion, the essence of spellcasting, which is to transform magic into matter, is so exaggerated that it is illogical.

The second was healing magic. He still remembered how when he first arrived on this planet, he was repeatedly tortured by the damaged protective cabin system. After the medicine in the healing module was exhausted, Elina Lijie rescued him and cast elementary healing magic.

Just recite a line, consume some magic power, and your serious injury will be healed.

Is this reasonable?

In Gawain's view, the magic inherited from the human world can greatly save resources, shorten the time required to achieve goals, and perhaps even achieve feats that he considers to be "miracles". It is extremely important knowledge.

In comparison, Kendo, which has developed more prosperously and is more valued, is actually a piece of junk that is not as good as scraps.

Four and a half years old, intermediate level in the Water God Style, can only be said to have some talent, but seems to be better than my kid. After a brief assessment, Paul suddenly seemed to remember something and asked:

"Speaking of which, can you do magic?"

Gao Wen said frankly:

"I can do everything Elina Lijie can do."

Paul was surprised by the unexpected answer and understood the hidden meaning. He laughed exaggeratedly:

"I really wish my boy could have your level of talent! You can always come to my house and I'll teach you swordsmanship. You can study with Rudy!"

Paul, who was so proud of himself, seemed to have forgotten that his baby son was only three years old.

That’s what they said, but less than half a month later, the first snow fell.

The heavy snow soon almost buried the village, and the adult men in the village had to go to the forest to fight against the monsters, so the classes naturally stopped.

Gawain did not make a fuss about going to Greyrat's house.

He just stayed at home quietly, without practicing swordsmanship or borrowing magic teaching materials from the Greylat family. He just patiently taught the Sylphiet people's writing at the desk, and by the way, he practiced his magic according to the method taught by Rudy, and occasionally used magic to supplement the heating or provide water for the house.

Every time the sky grew darker, Gawain stopped dragging Sylphiette to study and instead told her all sorts of nonsense stories. Lorz told Gawain that there was no need to save money on lamp oil, and Gawain simply explained that dim light was bad for the eyes, but no one seemed to believe him.

He certainly wasn't worried about his vision failing. In fact, he could see easily at night without a light. Gawain simply felt that the lack of light might cause Sylphiet to become nearsighted, a risk he didn't need to take. This also brought to his attention another flaw in this world: its technology was too backward, not even primitive electric lights existed. Various types of magic were somewhat detached from everyday life, and there was no "light-based" magic, making it inconvenient.

that's it.

Lortz is not at home most of the time. Debbie is always busy with housework and maintaining the normal heating and water supply of the house, and planning the remaining resources. In addition to teaching Sylphiet words, arithmetic and basic science, Gawain tries every means to come up with new knowledge from his mind to respond to Sylphiet's expectation of "wanting to play with her brother".

Finally, after the long snow season, spring arrived after the snow melted.

At Gawain's suggestion, Rawls used a small portion of the money to buy a piece of farmland of appropriate size close to his home, and semi-detached himself from his hunter status to become a glorious self-employed farmer.

By the time the villagers completed spring plowing and sowing and the seedlings sprouted, Gao Wen had been in Buena Village for nearly half a year.

Chapter 7 Teachers

"Sylphiet, long time no see. Oh, and why are you here again?"

On a still cold early spring morning, Paul Greyrat was already doing morning exercises shirtless in his spacious yard. He held up his sword and warmly greeted the boys and girls outside the low wall of the yard.

Gawain led Sylphiette, who was slightly reluctant to go out, like a puppy, and walked in from the courtyard gate. He calmly refuted the unruly strong man in front of him:

"You asked me to come here, didn't you, Paul?"

Paul sheathed his sword and began to chatter:

"I just didn't expect you to bring your sister with you."

After saying that, he immediately looked at the green-haired girl and explained:

"Of course, we welcome you to our house, Sylphiet. It would be even better if you could become friends with my Rudy."

Sylphiette finally found the right moment to speak. Paul was an acquaintance of hers, and with her brother beside her, she didn't hesitate to greet him as loudly as possible.

"Good morning, Uncle Paul."

Paul's attitude towards the little girl was very gentle. He immediately half bowed and waved to Sylphiette with a smile.

Seeing this, Gao Wen immediately hid his sister behind him and continued:

"That's what I was thinking. Sylphy doesn't like going out, and neither does Rudeus. It would be great if they could become friends. Also, you called me here today, so I guess there's something going on with the tutoring thing? Sylphy's going to be studying with you later, so I brought her to see the applicants."

Paul couldn't help but gasp at the little tricks of the brat in front of him, but he nodded and asked curiously while inviting the children in:

"It's only been one winter, hasn't it? Sylphiet has already learned to read and write? How fast! Is writing really that easy to learn?"

He was probably thinking of an old friend who was so old that he couldn't even write his own name.

Gawain shook his head:

"That's all. Learning magic just helps each other."

After all, reading and writing are only one of the subjects in Sylphiet's enlightenment. It is already a great achievement to learn common characters in more than a quarter. This is also thanks to the limited common vocabulary in human language.

When they walked into the room, Madam Senis and the maid Lilia were working together to clean the kitchen. It seemed that they had just finished breakfast. Rudeus was not on the first floor.

Seeing the guests coming, Lady Senis immediately came forward to greet them:

"Long time no see, Gawain, Sylphiet. This is probably Sylphiet's first time visiting our house, right? You're welcome to visit us often in the future."

Gawain was much more polite towards Senis. He greeted her politely:

"Auntie Senice, it's been a while since I last saw you. How are you? Sylphy and I will be visiting you frequently, so please bear with us."

Sylphiet was a complete follower of her brother. Her tone and attitude when greeting him were ten times softer and cuter than when she was with Paul. She tilted her head and smiled sweetly.

"Aunt Senice, good morning!"

Although Lady Senesi had met Sylphiet several times in the past, Sylphiet before was obviously not as energetic and lovely as she is now. The still young Lady Senesi was immediately moved by her. She squatted down excitedly and stroked Sylphiet's soft green hair happily.

Seeing that Sylphy and Lady Senice were getting along well and seemed very happy, Gawain could only reluctantly let go of his sister's hand, gave Paul a look, and sat down at the dining table to talk in detail.

Coincidentally, Lilia also brought tea and snacks.

Paul took a sip of hot tea and got down to business:

"The magic teacher applying for this position is a middle-aged scholar who has been studying magic for many years. He graduated from the Lanoa School of Magic, specializes in water-based attack magic, and is also a former high-level adventurer. Don't reject him so easily again!"

Gawain had met the Paul family last September, just two days after becoming the Rolds' adopted son. Initially, Rudius, the Pauls' eldest son, seemed displeased with Gawain's presence, avoiding him constantly and even reluctant to greet him. Paul's vision of the two boys learning swordsmanship together under his tutelage, encouraging each other's progress, and becoming close comrades hadn't occurred. Instead, Rudius seemed to be using shyness as a pretext to avoid swordsmanship training.

It was not until about a week after Gawain learned the sword that he showed his skills as a magic swordsman with Paul's permission. Rudeus, who was hiding on the second floor and peeping at the two practicing and practicing magic at the same time, was instantly excited.

Apparently, Rudeus's worry that children learning magic would be hanged and burned to death did not exist.

Although someone realized afterwards that Gawain was older than him, Gawain being allowed to learn magic did not mean that he would also be allowed to do so. Due to a slight mistake, he was almost hanged.

In short, the excited Rudy revealed the fact that he could do magic, although it was only limited to basic magic.

Then he and Gawain became a yoked master and apprentice.

At that time, at Paul's suggestion, the two families planned to hire magic tutors to teach Rudius and Gawain on an AA basis. The commission posted to the Roya City Adventurer's Guild was turned over three times in just one month. It seemed that the family of a young lady in Roya City was looking for a suitable magic tutor for her, but all the requests were rejected. Most of the rejected teachers seemed to accept this commission from the small village with the attitude of seeking psychological comfort.

As a result, they were not only rejected twice, but also severely insulted by Gao Wen in terms of academics and logic.

Not only did some teachers burst into tears on the spot, some even decided to give up magic and go home to farm. The scene was extremely unbearable.

After that came the heavy snow season, and the adults of both families were very busy, so the commission was naturally terminated.

It was not restarted by Paul until the beginning of spring.

Gao Wen also took a sip of tea. Paul's tea was much more reliable than his own wild flower tea. After he put down the cup, he stated:

"I still hold the same view. Incompetent teachers will only teach children bad things. Paul, you don't want Rudeus's talent to be wasted, do you?"

Last year, with Gao Wen's explanation, Paul's family fully understood how exaggerated their eldest son's talent was and how amazing his unexpected discovery was.

Of course, Rudeus still doesn't feel the reality of this.

But Paul still felt helpless:

"If you weren't so young, Senise and I would have pooled our money to send you directly to the Lanoa School of Magic for further studies. Gawain, our village is just a small place on the edge of the kingdom after all. It's great that a teacher is willing to come. Just bear with it. According to what you and Rudy said... um... dialectical learning?"

Gawain finally accepted Paul's advice:

"Okay, I'll try my best, but if Rudeus or even Sylphy feels reluctant, I will continue to veto it."

Paul was so distressed that he almost wanted to pray.

Son, it all depends on you.

Near noon, Gao Wen, dressed in white, was arguing fiercely with a bald middle-aged man. Rudeus took the opportunity to drag his cheap dad, who had finally put on his clothes, aside and whispered:

"Father, this teacher is not very good."

You bastard son.

Chapter 8 Brothers and Sisters

Because the first tutor of the new year was rejected again, Sylphiette, who was judged by Gawain to have sufficient magical talent but seriously lacked fighting talent, naturally did not have to follow her brother to the Greyrat family every day.

As for learning magic, since Rudeus's progress was much faster, Sylphiette was naturally left behind.

In fact, Sylphiet wanted to be her brother's little tail all the time, but after just a few months of living together day and night, the green-haired girl clearly realized one thing:

My brother is an absolute believer in the supremacy of strength.

Therefore, Sylphiet easily decided to stay home and study on her own. Everyone saw her progress as incredibly rapid and advanced. Both her parents and the Greylat family's uncles and aunts praised her achievements.

But Sylphiet knew that this was not enough.

My brother never lies, so he has never praised me for my academic performance.
