Aristocrat Reborn in Another World Ch. 43

 

Volume 2  - Boyhood

Chapter 13 - Fabinir's otherworld training record 1

Time goes back a bit.

「Master, please」

「Aah, I know」

Cain bowed to Yuya and said so.

Cain then became Yuuya's disciple.

「Cain, if we talk about your status, I'd say that you are among the weaklings of this world? If it's like that, you won't be able to survive in this world for so long. Go level up a bit. Also, until you complete your training, you are prohibited from checking your status. I also modified this world so that you can't use your teleportation」

Unlike the world where Cain lives, high-level monsters inhabit this continent.

Yuuya handed one sword to Cain.

When he pulled the sword out of its scabbard, it was shinning with silver.

「There are monsters you can't cut even if you infuse your iron sword with magic power. Take this mithril sword with you」

Cain put it back in its scabbard and replaced the sword hanging on his waist.

「Thank you, master. Master, when you sealed Aaron, what level were you?」

Upon hearing Cain's question, Yuuya brought his hand to his chin and began to remember.

「At that time, huh~. I think I was about 600」

Cain, who always thought he was outside the norm, was surprised to hear that the person in front of him possessed twice his current level at that time.

「So you had more than twice my level. I'll do my best」

「For now it's impossible for the current you to defeat the monsters around this house. There are monsters above SSS-rank roaming around. Even the weakest monsters on the outer edge of this continent would be categorized as S-rank in your world. I'll send you to the beach where you arrived, and from there, you will have to make your way to this house in the center. Ah, you can't fly either」

Cain was taken by Yuuya and both were transferred to the sandy beach along the coast again.

Yuuya then threw a compass at Cain.

When Cain received it, he looked at the only direction that the compass pointed.

「This points in the direction of the house. You'll need to get your own food and supplies. Then I'll wait for you at the house」

Yuuya said that then teleported away and disappeared from the place.

Standing on the sandy beach, Cain kept watching the forest.

Each tree in the forest was dozens of meters high, and only the smallest amount of light passed through the forest creating a dim and eerie air.

「Though I don't know how far I am from the house, I have to move forward by giving my best!」

Cain stepped into the forest.

I advance while using search. There are signs of monsters everywhere, even fighting each other. Cain was found by monsters and attacked within five minutes of entering the forest.

「Five minutes into the forest, and already S-rank monsters, huh~ It seems that this will take some time」

Cain puts the four-meter-long orc king, which he cuts in half into the item box and begins to walk again. Every few dozen meters. he would meet another monster again. It was a repetitive process. Sometimes when he was fighting some monster, other monsters would join their fight.

Every time Cain wanted to take a break from the relentless fighting, he would dig a hole with magic and took a break there. For meals, he would roast the monsters along with the wildflowers, and use the spices he always carries with him when camping as seasonings. It was truly a life close to primitive times.

Cain went forward to the direction that the compass pointed step by step.

And so, a year passed. However, it was impossible for Cain to get a hold of the days that had passed since he continued to fight the monsters every day while heading to the place the compass signaled.

With a whole year of constant battles, Cain's emotions had slipped away. The same thing would happen to anyone after wandering around for a whole year in a dim forest without being able to talk to anyone. Cain was only ten years old, and even if you include his previous life, he had lived a little more than twenty years.

Cain, who remained inexpressive, defeated the monsters that appeared one after another, just like a machine. That's all.

As he was defeating the monsters as usual and putting them in his item box, he heard a scream from nearby.

For some reason, that scream caught his attention, and as if he had been called, Cain he went over there as if it were natural.

As he advanced, there was a pure white wolf whose body was dyed with blood, about the size of a puppy.

With broken legs, it seemed to be escaping from something while covered with blood but it was already on the verge of exhaustion.

The pure white wolf and Cain looked at each other.

「Kuhn」

The wolf cried and then bowed its head.

For Cain, who had lived a whole year without being able to talk to anyone, just this healed him.

From the emotions that had disappeared, a smile appeared for the first time in a while.

Emotions returned to Cain for the first time in several months.

Step by step, he slowly approached the white wolf with a smile on his face.

「Everything is alright, okay? I'll heal you now」

With a gentle smile, Cain casts a magic on the white wolf.

『Extra Heal』

After casting an advanced recovery spell, the white wolf was wrapped in light and its wounds quickly healed.

『Clean(Clean Body)』

The fur of the little white wolf became a beautiful pure white.

「Kuhn」

The white wolf that got up rubbed against Cain. And then he jumped up to Cain and started licking his face.

「Hey hey, it tickles me I'm telling you. It's about time to eat, want to join me?」

「Wau」

The white wolf circled around Cain, wagging its tail.

While listening to the voice of the wolf, they surrounded themselves with a wall made of magic and then began to cook

「You're better eating raw food, aren't you? Here, Orc King's meat」

Saying that, I chopped up the meat into suitable sizes and threw it to the white wolf. The wolf caught the meat with his mouth and started eating it.

The meat had quickly disappeared so the wolf began to look and cry at Cain again.

「Another one? You're hopeless, aren't you? Here, catch」

I took out another piece of meat and threw it again to the white wolf.

And then, the white wolf happily starts eating the meat again.

Cain was also eating the roasted meat next to him while watching the white wolf eat.

「Want to come with me?」

Cain asked the white wolf without thinking. As expected, he felt lonely being alone.

When Cain spoke to the white wolf, the white wolf stopped eating and looked at Cain's face.

「Wau」

It only made a cry and started eating again.

「If you are going to come with me I have to give you a name. You're pure white, so let's go with『Haku』」

Cain said, and the white wolf looked up again and gave a single 'Wau'.

「Alright! Haku! You must also work hard with me」

Then Cain and Haku finished their meal and started walking again in the direction the compass pointed.

Haku was stronger than I expected. Even though it was the size of a puppy, it was fearless and used his explosive power to fight against SS-class monsters It moved at a breakneck speed that not even Cain could follow, and in an instant, it bit their necks.

Cain was relieved not to be alone, and his emotions no longer disappeared.

Another two years passed as they fought their way through the forest without stopping.

Under the name of training, it was just a journey of just walking in the direction indicated by the compass while defeating monsters.

Haku was already about three meters tall. Even so, he still played with Cain.

「Hakuuu. Move away, you're already big and heavyー!」

Cain was already thirteen years old, and he was already over 160 centimeters tall. His clothes were no longer fitting, so he had to use magic to make new ones.

「When on earth will I get there?」

While saying that, he was enjoying his life with Haku. By this time, Cain had already entered the area where SSS-ranked monsters were roaming around and were diligently exterminating monsters under the name of training.

After another year had passed, he saw a light at the end of the forest.

Cain ran through the forest at once, aiming for that light.

At the end of the light, a familiar landscape was expanding itself. And at the end of the field was his master's house.

It took them four years to get through this forest.

「I finally arrivedーーーー!!!!」

He runs all the way to the door of the house. Haku was running beside Cain.

He opened the door suddenly without knocking

「Masterーーーー!  I arrivedーー!!」

In the living room beyond the door, Yuuya, his master, and a strange man were talking together.

「Cain, so you finally arrived? I got tired waiting for you. You've grown up a bit, haven't you? Hmm? Isn't that a God Wolf you have with you?」

Yuuya muttered as he looked at Haku, who was over three meters tall.

「A Fenrir?」

Cain cocked his head in wonder.

「Umu, it's a race that's also a divine beast. It's still just a child, but when it grows up, it'll be over five meters tall」

「Eh? Haku is a god wolf and also a divine beast?」

「Wau」

Haku tilts his head sideways.

「It seems it's very fond of you. If so, why not form a contract? I'm sure you can」

「A contract?」

Now it's Cain who tilts his head.

「It's called a summoning contract, and when you make the contract, you can summon it at any time.  Besides, it would be inconvenient to have it always stay in that size, right?」

「Haku, would you make a contract with me?」

「Wau」

「He seems to want to, so let me show you how to make one before we continue with the training」

「You have to chant,『I seek a contract. Bond in the name of mutual trust!　Summoning contract』. Once it answers you, you will know how to continue」

「I'll try」

Cain and Haku face each other.

『I seek a contract. Bond in the name of mutual trust!　Summoning contract』

At that moment, magic power began to flow from Cain towards Haku.

A magic circle appeared under Haku, then was covered by it and disappeared.

「Haku is gone!!!」

「Don't get impatient, If you call out the word『Haku』, it will come out.

『Summon「Haku」』

At that moment, the floor began to glow and Haku appeared from the magic circle.

「Wau」

「Ooh! Amazing. Now we can be together」

Cain happily hugged Haku.

「I think it's about time」

The person who said that was the one next to Yuuya.

「Ah, I'm sorry. I'm Cain von Silford」

「I'm Doran. Yuuya's old friend. And I've been called to train you」

The training wasn't over yet...
