Chapter 4: Learning about Full Counter

Two years later

The past two years were decent aside from training with Chandler who now often encourages me to do great and how I'm guaranteed to become the next Demon King.

I only recently turned seven a week ago as the only ever time I spend with my parents is only during one day of the week as my father being the Demon King is not home often. And my mother being the queen often goes on diplomat missions to help out the races such as the fairies and giants. She often stays away from human villages because well....let's just say it's one of the reasons why father fears her. How do I know this? Well when they did their usual bed-time sparring I might've overheard some explicit details about how she once slaughtered an entire village while drunk.

Moving on, It was finally the day that Chandler was going to teach the ability of Full counter or at least the magical portion of it. Why I didn't ask earlier was because the past two years training from him were only for how Iong I can maintain my demon mark. As of now, I can maintain it for several days at a time without noticing. Even my muscles are starting to form as I am already developing a four pack as I trained very intensely everyday for the past two years.

I managed to master several fighting styles using a wooden sword while under Chandler's instructions and he was astounded to see that I quickly mastered so many as he would then nearly hug me to death as he would yell out that I was a prodigy among prodigies. Well he ain't wrong as I used some of the moves from the various different anime I've seen from the memories from my past life.

Hmm... Now that I think about it, doesn't the Original Gowther replace Mael with the persona of Estarossa? If he managed to change everyone's memories to make everyone believe that he was my brother. Whose to say that he wiped out everyone's memories from what they remember about my mother. That would explain why no one mentions it or at least refers to her in the manga.

Damn OG Gowther is much more f***d up than I thought. Seems I'll have to take some meditating lessons later down the line to protect my mind from psychic attacks like that.

Back to the main topic at hand, I once again head out of my room towards my mentor's quarters as I can't help but feel excited about this as not only will I learn a highly devastating ability but I'll add on to it by training myself to obtain the physical aspect of it. Once I learned those, It will be very difficult for someone to defeat me as I don't plan to play with those who are weaker than me as I plan on killing them immediately from the start unless they are arrogant as I plan to make individuals like that beg for their deaths once I'm done with them.

I notice some guards sweat nervously in my presence as I walk by as I become confused for second before I realized that my dark thoughts caused me to smile in a intimidating fashion as I quickly return to a expressionless look as I berate myself for thinking like that.

Pretending like that never happened I knock on the door like a gentleman as I hear my mentor call out "Come in!" As the door opens via by magic upon his order as I step inside as I become intrigued at the group of demons in the room as I never had any sparring partners before.

"Sir Meliodas, today is the first day that I'll begin to teach you the magical ability Full Counter. Now you may be wondering why I brought these gentlemen here? I only brought them so you can get a first hand experience on what Full Counter is and what it can do." He lectures me as he orders the Demons to use their most powerful magical attacks against him which were.

I then hear him shout "FULL COUNTER!" as he swipes his weapon across at the attacks as I then watch as their magical attacks get immediately reflected at back at them with double the force as I watch the demons try to dodge. Some narrowly escape but others get incinerated on the spot as it was to late for their instincts to act up as they become a pile of ashes.

He then turns around ignoring the fact that he just committed murder " What you just saw was Full Counter, a magical ability that allows a user to reflect magical attacks back at their opponent with double the force." He lectures with a natural tone.

"Is there of full counter that reflects physical attacks instead?" I ask since I wanted to know who the hell taught Estarossa the physical version of Full Counter.

He widens his eyes for a second before returning to normal, " As expected of Sir Meliodas, I honestly didn't think you would ask that question but yes there is but although it is still a great ability like the one you just witnessed but it is not as effective due to the fact that most of the opponents you'll most likely face in the future will always use their magical abilities against you. I can still teach it to you if you want to?" He finishes his instruction on what he knows about Full Counter.

"Yosh!" I bow in appreciation as I am determined to learn how to use Full Counter causing him to tear up slightly in great respect for me.
