Chapter 410: A Father's Thanks

I spent the rest of the day training with Ibuki at the training ground, I was impressed by her punches in sequence, it didn't look like she was planning these punches, it looked more like she wasn't even thinking and just following her own instinct.

But I noticed that the Chaos Fist Martial Arts I taught her wasn't being fully utilized, after so long I think she trained a lot more with her swords than without weapons, this explains why most of her punches are done using her legs, that's because she usually has swords in both hands.

I spent the rest of the afternoon training with Ibuki to correct her Martial Art problems, while doing this I noticed that Alan and his group were watching me, I also noticed that there were Elves watching me the whole time.

It was a little weird having this kind of audience watching me, so I couldn't teach Ibuki the way I wanted to, all I could do was guide her leaving openings that would only be taken advantage of with the right punches, that way she would have to understand what needed to do.

Sometimes I kept looking at the others and realized that Freya had entered a blunt arrow combat arena with another White Elf archer, I was surprised by how fast the battle between the two archers was, but I noticed something even more important.

Freya had the advantage in a long-range battle, she was faster and more accurate using the bow and arrow, but the other archer noticed this and did something he didn't imagine anyone specializing in archery would do, he started a melee battle against Freya who only managed to dodge her blows for a few seconds before losing.

It was at that moment that I noticed something strange about the bow that this Elf was using, it seemed to have wooden blades without tips at the ends of his bow, he seemed to use a Martial Art that uses the bow and arrow as the main focus, I found this very interesting.

p<anda> When I looked at Freya who had lost the fight, her eyes were shining, it seems she was very excited about what she saw. </anda>

Diana had disappeared somewhere, I try to use our connection to find out where she is and find out through her eyes that she is in a bar with several Dark Elves drinking beer.

Sophia was still at the training ground, but I noticed that she was training alongside an older Elf with serious eyes, there were hundreds of Dark Elves around her arena.

This Elf looked to be around 40 years old, but considering he is a High Dark Elf must be over 700 years old, I figured this out because he has a white gem on his forehead.

I almost finished my training with Ibuki to see this Sophia battle, I've never seen her so serious before in a training, without that I noticed disappointment and anger in her Aura.

If I remember correctly Sophia was born and lived in this place, so you must know a lot of people here, maybe this Elf was her trainer in the past, I think that's because many of her movements during combat remind me of Sophia's movements.

Every time he looked he saw a one-sided battle with Sophia getting beaten up in a matter of seconds, but he couldn't do anything to stop it as Sophia's eyes had a strong will to fight, and every time she fell she got up to fight again.

Looks like I shouldn't meddle in this battle, I also noticed they weren't using their abilities or Auras, the Dark Elf wasn't even targeting Sophia's vitals so I let them continue but asked Layla to keep an eye out to help Sophia in case necessary if things go too far.

Pov Sophia:

As soon as the master said we were coming to this place I knew he was going to show up at some point, but I didn't expect him to show up in front of me at the training ground like this without even saying anything and just inviting me to a game of combat training.

I thought that after evolving into a High Dark Elf and participating in so many battles alongside the master, I would be better off fighting him.

But this is being a one-sided fight, now I see that he has never fought me seriously in the past, even now he is not using all his power.

He doesn't even speak to me and just stands in front of me without saying anything, I know he's disappointed in me for losing against a Mage of the space element, I know that day I was careless.

But even so, I waited for him, I kept waiting until the moment I realized he wouldn't see me after 4 months of waiting, a few weeks later the master found me.

It was the master who returned my body to normal, it was the master who gave me the power I have today, it was the master who allowed me to evolve so quickly into a High Dark Elf, all I have now is the master who gave it to me.

I have a home, I have power, I have people who truly care about me and I know I will never be alone, even now I noticed the master looking over here and I was worried that he would interfere in this fight, but I think he luckily understood that I don't want help.

This man in front of me never did anything for me that didn't involve training, he never directed a word of affection or concern to me, he is an excellent leader during the fights for the Dark Elves, but as a father, he represents nothing to me anymore. me.

"Ahhh... ahhh... ahhh..." (I)

"Stop, that's enough, if you continue this Fairy will end up interfering."  (Dad)

"..." (I)

After another lost battle, I was lying looking at the sky while my whole body was aching, I felt like I didn't have the strength, but even so, my will to keep fighting only grew more and more, I can't accept this result, I can't accept it lose without landing even a single hit on him.

But as I'm getting up he turns his back saying it's over before anyone interferes, so I look back to where Layla is with both her hands glowing as she looks at my dad with a serious face.

"(The master must have asked her to keep an eye on me.)" (I)

He starts walking out of here without saying anything, he doesn't even look back at me as he just walks away.

"Arrffff... shouldn't... arrfff... expect anything... other than you... arrfff..." (I)

"..." (Dad)

He stops for a second, but then walks back and walks away, Layla comes to me and gives me some healing potions, after which she escorts me back to the place where we're staying.

Pov Zenos:

At the end of the afternoon, Ibuki was already too tired to continue, I realize that Freya was also tired nearby.

"You look happy."  (I)

"I've learned new ways to fight with the bow and arrow, but I still have a lot to learn."  (Freya)

"You'll have time, I plan on staying here for 2 or 3 months."  (I)

"For now go back with Ibuki, from here I'll go straight to the World Tree along with the Guardian." (I)

"Alright, Sophia is back with Layla, I'll get Jade who is still training, and go back with Ibuki."  (Freya)

"Do it, Layla and Nix will meet me here, I asked the two of them to talk to the Fairies and Spirits that came out of my shadow to keep an eye on Kira who will continue training through the night."  (I)

"Take care, master."  (Freya)

Freya left with Ibuki and Jade, so I walked to a bench not far away in the shade of a tree where someone had been watching me for some time.

"Nice to meet you, it took me a while to understand who you were, but after some time thinking I noticed some similar facial features, besides the older age you seem it wasn't hard to figure out." (iI)

"My name is Ramon, but I don't know if it's right to call me Sophia's father."  (Ramon)

Ramon has a rigid and calm face, his way of speaking also doesn't show many emotions, others may find it difficult to understand what such a person is thinking, but his eyes show great sadness.

"You should have told her how you felt."  (I)

"It wouldn't have helped, I was never a good father to her, the only thing I taught her was to fight, besides I've never done anything else that makes me worthy of being called a father."  (Ramon)

"Even when she was in danger, I wasn't there to help, when she needed to be saved, I was too busy drowning in my own sadness to do anything, now I can't even speak in front of her due to my shame. "  (Ramon)

"But I'd like to thank you for saving my daughter, I hope you show the same level of protection you showed the Gray Elf yesterday."  (Ramon)

"..." (I)

He's the kind of person who can't show what he's thinking or feeling, even though he had such a rigid and dignified face he didn't know how to deal with his own daughter.

I guess I should be glad Sophia didn't turn out like him.
