Paji.

The sound of the water balloon hitting the ground rang out, landing next to the railing and wetting it.

"Did you see that?" Luo Qixi looked a little listless, and it was clear that she didn't have high expectations for the three of them.

"Amazing." Rudius's slightly exaggerated voice came through as he winked at Roya.

Hilfi was a little confused. Didn't the two of them already know how to do this?

Magic is amazing.

There is no doubt that it is possible to create all four elements—wind, fire, water, and earth—out of thin air.

But magic is also extremely difficult to learn because it has strict requirements for magical power.

Today, Luo Qixi encountered three top-tier prodigies.

Chapter 9: I Want to Get Closer with Luo Qixi

Under her stunned gaze, almost everyone performed the water balloon magic trick.

Luo Qixi fell silent, lost in thought.

Luo Qixi was devastated.

She sighed, the helplessness on her little face turning into a bitter smile. She couldn't believe that all three members of this family were geniuses.

"Intermediate magic, do you know it?" Luo Qixi asked.

This time, Royal didn't hold back. He nodded and said, "The book only describes intermediate magic; there's nothing beyond that."

"Is that so?" Loki breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. She secretly cheered herself up in her heart, and said in a mature tone, "Actually, it's not a big deal for someone your age to release intermediate magic, especially you, Roya. Don't be arrogant because of it."

Then Loki began to explain the precautions for advanced magic step by step. It must be said that Loki was a very good lecturer; her words were always easy to understand.

After the morning passed, Hilfi stayed at Paul's house for lunch and then went home, while Roya and Rudius were asked by Paul to practice their swordsmanship.

"A man must have a sword in his heart, to protect the people he cares about—" That was his original quote.

Because the original statement was too long, Luo Ya only remembered these two sentences.

Formal sword training began in the afternoon.

It mainly focuses on sword swings and practicing standardized movements.

For example, using the wooden dummy set up in the yard as an opponent to confirm the standard movements and the situation of striking; or sparring with Paul to train footwork and center of gravity shifting, etc., that's the feeling.

In this world, swordsmanship is highly valued.

Starting from the basics is really good.

The heroes of this world all wield swords; occasionally, there may be those who use axes or hammers, but they are only a minority.

No one uses spears because the pesky Speyluds wield tridents. Therefore, it's common knowledge that spears are the weapons of demons. Several such demons appear in the book, their role being that of indiscriminate killers who bite and kill friend and foe alike.

Perhaps because of this background, the swordsmanship here is better than in the world I lived in before.

If one can become a master, one can even cut through rocks with a single sword strike, or unleash sword energy to attack distant opponents.

In fact, Paul was able to split a rock in two with a single sword stroke.

Because Roja wanted to know the principle behind it, he flattered and praised him so that Roja would perform it several times. Paul must have been in a good mood seeing his young son, who could perform advanced magic tricks, happily clapping for him.

However, no matter how many times I watched, I still couldn't understand the principle.

Roya asked Paul to explain, and he said, "It's like, 'Hmph, step forward and then swish down!'"

Paul is a terrible teacher. Although he is very skilled at swordsmanship, he is really not a good teacher.

However, following his own training method, he actually managed to develop some eyebrows.

Every time he swings his sword, a strange intuition tells him how to swing it most conveniently, how to strike it most effectively, and how to sheathe it most safely.

Just like dividing a line segment into two parts, Rojas could almost intuitively and directly draw the point of the golden ratio.

Every time Roya drew his sword, he could strike his opponent's weak point precisely. With each swing of his sword, this intuition became almost ingrained in his bones.

Roya was puzzled and asked Paul, "I don't know why, but I always have an intuition telling me how to draw my sword properly."

Paul remained silent for a long time that day, his eyes filled with tears. He explained, "Your swordsmanship talent is exceptionally high."

Fortunately, there was also Ludius. Ludius had talent, but he wasn't quite as monstrous as some others, which finally put Paul at ease.

A son who is too outstanding can make his father lose face.

In this world, there are three main sword styles. The first is the Sword God Style, which emphasizes aggression, advocates preemptive strikes, and prioritizes speed. Attack is the best defense—this is the core philosophy of the Sword God Style. If a decisive blow cannot kill the opponent, the Sword God Style employs hit-and-run tactics until victory is achieved. This style is similar to the Satsuma Jigen Style in reality.

The second style is the Water God style, completely opposite to the Sword God style. This style emphasizes defense, focusing on parrying and counter-attacking. Because of its focus on defense, the Water God style rarely initiates attacks. However, skilled practitioners can counter all attacks, including magic and ranged weapons. This style is typically learned by court knights and nobles.

The third type is Hokushin-ryu, which is more like military strategy than swordsmanship. It doesn't have specific moves, but rather employs different strategies depending on the situation. Paul calls this improvisation, but in reality, practitioners of Hokushin-ryu often use subtle tricks and clever tactics to win.

However, at a high level, the Northern Divine Style can achieve unexpected victories. This style is particularly suitable for those who are injured or disabled, as they can still fight. Therefore, the Northern Divine Style is very popular among mercenaries and adventurers. In short, each of these three sword styles has its own characteristics, applicable situations, and advantages.

Paul is very strong, and his talent is beyond doubt. His Water God Style, Northern God Style, and Sword God Style are all top-level swordsmanship.

Don't assume that advanced swordsmen are weak. In fact, apart from the Sword King and Sword God, the level of advanced swordsmen is really not bad. Swordsmanship is not the same as magic; it can only be improved through accumulated training.

Time flew by, and by the time the two finished practicing their swordsmanship, the sun had already set and night was beginning to fall.

Today is not only the day Luo Qixi arrives, but also the day when the power of time and space is gathered together.

[Spacetime Power 100/100]

[A one-star small world can be captured now. Capture it?]

That evening, Paul and Senis prepared a sumptuous dinner.

The steaming roasted chicken gleamed enticingly under the oil lamp, along with soft and delicious bread, a hot soup made from unknown vegetables, and various side dishes were laid out on the table, filling the entire hall with aroma and warmth.

"It smells so good." Luo Qixi stared greedily at the food in front of her; it was almost the best food she had eaten in the past year.

So everyone started eating. Roya chewed the chicken politely, the silky and delicious chicken filling his mouth, and the oil dripped out with every bite.

Surprisingly good.

“But it seems we don’t have any extra rooms,” Paul suddenly said, as if he had just thought of something.

Indeed, Roya and Rudius always slept separately. The house was actually not very big, and the rooms could only accommodate a limited number of people.

Roya's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he silently gave Rudius a wink.

Rudius blinked, paused in his eating, and gave Roya a meaningful look.

Chapter 10 Sword Art Online

Is it really okay for a six-year-old child to sleep in the same room as Luo Qixi?

He mentally scoffed, mocking his older brother for being a toad trying to eat swan meat. He realized that his brother had been plotting this for a long time, with ulterior motives. Sure enough, all those who share his blood are the same.

Under Roya's stern gaze, Rudius had no choice but to speak up. He said, "How about letting my older brother share a room with Loki? My room is messy and quite small. If it's my older brother's room, it seems like there's no problem accommodating two people's daily lives."

Paul thought for a moment, then hesitated and said with some difficulty, "But your older brother is a boy after all, and it doesn't feel right for him to sleep with a girl."

Rudius continued to smooth things over, saying, "Big brother is only six years old. Miss Loki can treat him as her own younger brother."

Paul glanced at Roya, who looked completely calm and collected. Roya's delicate, doll-like face made Paul inexplicably feel that there wasn't much of a problem.

At this moment, Luo Ya spoke up appropriately: "Since my younger brother doesn't want to be with Master, then I think I can accept Master."

Rudius was dumbfounded. He looked at the nonchalant Onii-chan in disbelief, cursing the shamelessness of the person in front of him for trying to shift the blame onto him.

The childish voice, the androgynous tone that couldn't be distinguished as male or female, the extremely deceptive appearance, and the indifferent attitude—although Paul sensed something was amiss, he didn't feel anything was wrong at all.

After pondering for a while, he turned his gaze to Luo Qixi, who was excitedly eating her rice, clearly having been hungry for a long time.

"Um, Loki, is it okay if you live with Roya?" Paul asked Loki.

Luo Qixi glanced at the cute little boy out of the corner of her eye, but her mind was completely focused on the food in front of her. She agreed almost without thinking, "No problem."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ya's lips curled up into a slight smile, though inwardly he was laughing wildly.

It wasn't until Luo Qixi finished eating and was about to go to her room to rest that she realized what had happened.

She grabbed Roya's sleeve, and said incredulously, "Sleep with you?"

Luo Ya nodded, his expression calm and composed.

He glanced at Luo Qixi, whose face was slightly flushed, and felt he should explain. He slowly said, "Well, my room is actually quite big."

Luo Qixi looked at the tender young boy in front of her for a moment, and finally sighed, accepting this bleak reality.

Carrying her luggage upstairs, she entered Luo Ya's room, only to be surprised by how bright it was.

Just as Roya said, his room was actually very large. The large room was surprisingly clean, with a wooden table against the wall and a chair next to it. The table was covered with neatly arranged books.

I glanced at them briefly; most of them were books related to magic knowledge and introductions to the world's background.

The floor was very clean and the floor was smooth. It was clear that the owner cleaned this place regularly, and the bedding was folded neatly.

The room was filled with a faint, pleasant fragrance, and upon closer inspection, one would find that the room's scent was exactly the same as the fragrance of Roya in front of them.

The word "body fragrance" inexplicably flashed through Luo Qixi's mind.

"Master must be very tired, having traveled a long way. You can go and rest first," Luo Ya said in a childish voice.
