Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Looking at the instigator in front of her, Lilia maintained basic respect for Rudy in both her expression and words, but in reality, Lilia was filled with disgust and rejection towards Rudy at this moment.

Can you believe a five-year-old child would spy on someone? This illogical behavior suggests the child is possessed by a demon.

What upset Lilia even more was that, even though she was the one who did something wrong, Rudeus wanted to make her younger brother take the blame.

Having cared for and educated Wood for so long, how could Lilia not be able to tell the difference between twin brothers?

Of course, since Rudy was still only a five-year-old child, and Lilya was just a maid, she ultimately didn't do anything to Rudy, but simply asked him to leave the room in displeasure.

He also warned the other party that if they did something similar again, he would report it to Mrs. Senis.

Rudy, who had been kicked out of the room, could only slink back to his own room, feeling that he had really lost out. Not only had he not seen anything, but he had also been scolded.

"Rudy, you went to peek at Lilia again, didn't you? Don't provoke Lilia too much. She's very strong, be careful she doesn't mistake you for a heretic and kill you."

Wood wasn't surprised that Rudy would spy on him.

Because he knew that Rudeus, who appeared to be only five years old, was actually a so-called time traveler, whose body was inhabited by a NEET man in his fifties or sixties.

As someone who was never in a relationship in his previous life, it's perfectly normal for him to have lustful thoughts awaken when he sees a beauty like Lilia.

Rudy was puzzled to see Wood engrossed in reading a book that was half his size in the room.

“We look exactly alike, so why do I feel that Lilia’s attitude towards you is completely different from her attitude towards me?”

"Even Senis, as our mother, sometimes mistakes us for someone else, but Lilia recognized me immediately."

Hearing Rudy's puzzled look, Wood couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Why does Lilia hate Rudy? Doesn't she have any idea why?

It's all because of the old perverted spirit that he occasionally and unconsciously exudes!

As for why Lillia quickly recognized Rudy as not Wood, Wood believed that familiarity was one factor, but another was that Wood would not do something like Rudy.

"I would never do something like spying on Lilia, after all, I've bathed with her more than once..."

Wood could sense that when he uttered those words, there seemed to be a very crisp "crack" sound in the air, the sound of Rudy's consciousness shattering.

Because this guy felt it was just too unfair!

He just got scolded for peeping, while Wood is openly showering with someone else! The difference in treatment is too great!

"Because Lilia said it was okay because I'm a child, and she was worried that I wouldn't be able to wash properly by myself."

Wood's words instantly dealt Rudy another devastating blow!

Wood is a five-year-old, so it's okay, but isn't he also a five-year-old? Just because this guy shamelessly acts cute!

The thought that such a possibility did exist made Rudy decide to follow his younger brother's example. Sure enough, his overly mature demeanor made it difficult for him to get any perks...

Chapter 238 Paul's Swordplay Instruction

Rudy and Wood actually had a pretty good relationship.

Although their souls are indeed somewhat peculiar and do not belong to a five-year-old child, it is undeniable that their bodies and blood are those of brothers born of the same mother.

The only difference is that Rudy is from another time, while Wood is more like a native, starting a new Sim.

"Paul said that starting tomorrow, he will begin teaching us swordsmanship. Wood, what are your thoughts on this?"

The suggestion was made by Paul, as the head of the household, during dinner tonight, and Senis, as the mother, did not refuse.

In this world, five-year-olds can begin to develop their foundation and hone their physical skills.

After all, in a world of swords and magic, having some power makes it safer to live in this world.

Paul and Senis were both adventurers in the past, so naturally they didn't want their child to be an ordinary person who couldn't even kill a chicken.

In his previous life, Rudy was a NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) who stayed at home. He had fantasized more than once that he was a legendary sword god or a great mage.

After all, every otaku dreams of becoming a winner in another world, surrounded by beautiful women.

To have both women on your left and right in this otherworld of swords and magic, having great strength is one of the basic requirements.

To possess immense strength, one must have unparalleled talent; this is the definitive protagonist template.

Clearly, Rudy believed that he, who had traveled from another time, was the chosen one.

Therefore, he is quite looking forward to Paul's swordplay instruction tomorrow.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will display an astonishing swordsmanship talent during tomorrow's sword training, and from then on, he will reach the pinnacle of his life.

Although they are twins, Wood is not a time traveler, so Rudy believes that Wood should not receive this treatment.

And although both brothers are homebodies, his exercise level is obviously much higher than Wood's, who spends all his time in his study.

"Swordsmanship, I'm quite looking forward to it too."

However, considering Paul is the former captain of the S Adventurer Team, gaining his approval won't be an easy task.

Lilia talked a lot with Wood about Paul and Senis in her spare time.

Therefore, Wood not only knew that Paul and Senis were former S-class adventurers, but also that they were originally nobles.

The next morning, Wood and Rudy were woken up by Paul while they were still asleep.

Paul seemed quite excited about the fact that it was the first time he had trained his two sons and was demonstrating his authority as a father, so he woke Wood and Rudy up as soon as it was light.

Just as children feel the same way they receive praise from their elders, parents naturally hope that their children will see them as objects of admiration.

Before instructing Wood and the others in swordsmanship, Paul first explained the classification of swordsmanship levels and some powerful swordsmanship schools.

Paul is a powerful swordsman who can use three styles: Sword God Style, Water God Style, and Northern God Style.

"Tsk, so Paul is actually at the level of a superior swordsman?"

Rudy had barely finished speaking when he received a chop to the head. Paul, who had been showing off his skills, was clearly displeased with his eldest son's interruption and disdain, and continued to explain, "Don't think that swordsmanship is so easy to master."

Most swordsmen are utterly incompetent and don't even know how to use the styles they want.

Having the strength of a novice swordsman is enough to become an ordinary guard in the kingdom.

With the strength of an intermediate swordsman, he is already qualified to become a royal guard knight.

As for the strength of a high-level swordsman, that's equivalent to an S-rank adventurer or knight captain.

Paul's point in saying all this was to show that his ability to become a high-level swordsman in three different styles at his age was already quite impressive.

And indeed, that's true. No matter which kingdom you're in, there aren't many people who can become high-level swordsmen, let alone Paul, who not only has mastered three different styles but is also so young.

Then, seemingly to prove his point, or perhaps to show off, Paul drew his sword and went to a giant rock about two people high, where he performed a spectacular slash.

A blue streak flashed through the air. A giant rock, weighing several tons and standing two and a half times tall, first developed a thread-like crack in its middle, and then collapsed with a thunderous roar, splitting it cleanly in two!

Rudy was completely dumbfounded when he saw the huge rock with a smooth break in front of him.

It has to be said that Paul's move had a significant impact on Rudy, who previously had a completely ordinary worldview.

This isn't a swordsman, this is practically a superman!

Seeing Rudy's expression, Paul looked satisfied; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

Although Wood was used to seeing all sorts of things, and Paul's slash seemed like nothing special to him, he still feigned surprise.

Seeing the power of Paul's swordsmanship, Rudy was instantly impressed. At that moment, he acted like a child, clamoring to learn swordsmanship.

However, there is no such thing as learning swordsmanship overnight.

Just as Wood had predicted, after piquing Wood and Rudy's interest enough, Paul tossed over two small wooden swords.

"It's too early for you to be practicing with iron swords."

Furthermore, becoming a swordsman is not something that can be achieved overnight. Your training course today will begin with practicing 500 swings using this wooden sword.

Rudy, whose passion had been instantly ignited, picked up the wooden sword on the ground, which looked like a toy, and then watched Paul make a basic sword-swinging motion.

The emotions that had been stirred up were instantly extinguished, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them.

Having just witnessed such magnificent and powerful swordsmanship, practicing this kind of tedious and boring sword swinging is naturally extremely uninteresting.

Moreover, because he had never held a sword before, his sword-wielding movements were completely incorrect, resulting in numerous blisters appearing on Rudy's hands after only about a hundred swings.

Paul seemed to have anticipated this situation, and he immediately had Senis, who had been watching from the sidelines, bring over a wet towel and some medicine to wipe Rudy and Wood.

Swinging a sword 500 times, even with just a wooden sword, is extremely difficult for a 5-year-old child.

The reason for deliberately setting this number of times was that he knew Rudy and Wood wouldn't be able to endure the hardship later, so he was the first to send out the news, since Paul had done the same thing when he was a child.

However, to Paul's surprise, both Wood and Rudy seemed to be much better at enduring hardship than their father.

Paul originally thought that one hundred strokes would be the limit for the two of them, but to his surprise, the two of them silently did over one hundred strokes, and it was Paul who had to call for them to stop.

Chapter 239 Young Master Wood is the most talented person I have ever seen!

If it were a normal five-year-old child, they would probably be crying and making a fuss by now because it's too hard.

However, neither Wood nor Rudy were ordinary children; they both possessed more mature souls than Paul.

Rudy's hands developed numerous blisters from repeated friction with the wooden sword.

However, this guy firmly believed that as a chosen one who had transmigrated, he would definitely be able to activate some incredible attribute if he just persevered a little longer, so he kept gritting his teeth and persisting.

When Senis, Rudy's mother, saw that his hands were red from the burst blisters, she felt a pang of heartache.
