Chapter-18

Commander Lucas smiled brightly seeing the expression on Kyle's face, not knowing the latter's thoughts.

"So how's is this place?"

Commander Lucas asked brightly. He was proud of the place where he trained his squad.

Kyle nodded with a small smile.

"Yes! This place is good!"

And like a kid excited for something, he answered.

'It's not wrong to let someone indulge in their fantasies...' and silently thought.

Commander Lucas nodded and ruffled Kyle's hair again.

"You are right! This is where I train the squad, but the rest of the members are not here, they have gone with Sir Sebastian, or they would be happy to meet you too."

Kyle nodded. He knows about Commander Lucas but just the surface, so it wasn't a bad idea to know more especially if that person was someone strong.

"Then let's go!"

Commander Lucas then took Kyle inside and stopped in front of a weapon stack where different weapons were placed.

"Choose a weapon, the one that synchronized with you most will be your main weapon."

Kyle nodded and started picking different weapons. He knows this condition, like in RPGs, you choose a class and your weapon will be the same as your class.

In the Starlight Adventure, every character has a talent for weapons. No matter what the character was, you can't change that. And it was the same for Kyle too.

'A katana like a sword...'

Kyle silently thought. That was the talent of Kyle from the game. That Kyle was proficient in using a katana, or a thin sword.

Commander Lucas observed how Kyle tried different weapons but none suited him.

'Could he use a broadsword?'

It would be for the best, for Commander Lucas if Kyle had the talent for Broadsword as he was the only one who could use it in the [Dungeon Squad] making him ignite an itch to teach others.

A frown appeared on Kyle's face.

'Why do I have not even a little talent? My skills were more than Master Level but now I have no talent..'

Even if the original Kyle had a talent on Katana, but it was not true for the now Kyle. He had amassed a huge amount of knowledge and learned from a variety of people from all walks of life.

So, he couldn't have any talent in any other weapon at all. But no matter what weapon he tried, the result was the same.

His frown deepened even more. But he paused when his eyes spotted a black hilt katana in the bottom of the stack.

He felt a connection forming with that katana like it was calling him.

Kyle instinctively touched the hilt of the katana and lifted it in the air.

Commander Lucas opened his eyes wide. From Kyle's expression, he could tell that Kyle had chosen his weapon.

'So, the katana is still my weapon..'

Kyle closed his eyes with the katana in his hands.

After a minute, he opened his eyes and turned toward Commander Lucas, with a small smile on his face.

"Commander Lucas, this is my weapon."

Kyle lifted his sword in Commander Lucas's direction.

"Yes, congratulation!"

Commander Lucas smiled brightly and patted Kyle on his back.

He felt happy for the boy even though he was disappointed too. He wished Kyle to have talent in Broadsword, alas luck was not on his side.

Kyle saw the disappointed look in Commander Lucas's eyes but he discarded it. He had other things to worry about.

'Why can't I be talented in other weapons?'

Kyle was someone who mastered countless arts through the years and he was talented in everything he ever did, but now he can't feel even a little motivated to lift other weapons at all.

'Is this the effect of gaining talent in a single field? No, in the game, some npc's have talent in using multiple weapons...'

"What happened boy?"

Commander Lucas worriedly asked. Kyle had been standing in the same position for several minutes after showing him his katana.

In the game, every character was an NPC except the main cast, and many had several talents with different weapons in them, but no matter which weapon Kyle tried, he felt bland.

'No...I need to look through that...I can't let everything I had amassed go to waste like that...'

"OhH! BOY!!"

Kyle jolted in surprise hearing the scream directly beside his ear. He had been so lost in his thinking that he forget about the place he was in. A common situation for him and those who were with him in the last life, but not for people in this life.

"What happened, Commander Lucas?"

"No, boy, nothing happened, but you were too much lost in your thoughts that I had to call you out like this."

"Ahh! Sorry about that! But I was thinking about the cool moves I could do with this sword!"

Commander Lucas smiled seeing Kyle excited about his weapon but at the same time, the disappointment and guilt he felt vanished too except for some anger, 'How dare that foolish son of mine tried to hurt a kid like this...'

"Then, Commander Lucas, what are you going to train me in?"

Kyle asked with a glint passing through his eyes, 'I will look over the issue of talent later on. There are many skills that I could acquire from others even if I can't acquire their weapon techniques.'

A thoughtful look appeared on Commander Lucas's face. There are many things he could teach Kyle but when his eyes saw how Kyle still looked, he shook his head.

"I can't teach you anything for now. You need to wait for your body to return to a valid condition first. Then I am going to teach you about brawler techniques, as for your weapon...I will talk to Sir Duke about that."

A disappointed expression formed on Kyle's face. His body still caused trouble to him.

'Wait, maybe I should just start making my diet, but how am I going to explain about me knowing how to cook? ...'

"Thank you, Commander Lucas!"

Kyle bowed his head in gratitude.

Even with his condition, he was happy that others were willing to help him.

"No, take it as a way of me saying sorry for what my foolish son was about to do to you.

Kyle stayed silent. There was no use in replying to this comment and just nodded.

Commander Lucas then started to show Kyle around the Training Hall.

------------

It had been three days since Kyle got the entry to the Training Hall.

He would go there daily in the evening during which Lilliana had her classes.

Even though the only classes that Lilliana was attending now were her etiquette classes as her Aristocratic classes have not started yet.

Only after her 10th birthday, her real classes will start. And she had more knowledge to earn as she

Right now, Kyle Ainsworth was standing behind Lilliana D. Avarice as she sipped her tea elegantly.

They both were in the garden alone as the servants avoided the garden whenever Lilliana was in the garden.

Kyle's body improved a lot in just three days as he started his diet plan after talking with the in-name head maid, Evangeline. As she was regarded like that even though there was already a head-maid in the mansion.

Now, only some muscles were needed in Kyles's body to make him look more good.

"Kyle! I told you not to behave like this when we are alone!"

Lilliana turned around and looked at Kyle's stoic face which made her irritated as he looked completely like Sebastian right now. And whenever she asked him to behave normally, he would reject her request.

"No, My Lady, I am planning to become your butler, so I can't slack off in my work."

Kyle spoke calmly. But his voice irritated the Little Lady in front of him even more.

Lilliana placed her cup on the tray and stood from her chair, making Kyle focus on her.

She took his arm and tried to move him, but, she failed as she only did it lightly.

Seeing Kyle not bulging from his position, Lilliana used more force and succeeded in dragging Kyle.

A helpless smile formed on Kyle's face but he didn't neglect Little Lady's act and proceeded along with that and sat in the chair in front of her.

Lilliana nodded with a satisfied expression and went back to her seat.

"My Lady, You are making things difficult for me."

"No, I am not. Just drink tea and tell me more about your daily life."

Kyle mentally sighed but followed her order and poured himself a cup of tea.

If Sebastian saw him sitting in front of the one he had to serve and even drinking tea that he should only serve.

'I am going to get a good scolding if what I am doing here reached Sebastian's ears.'

Kyle calmly and elegantly started to drink the tea while thinking of what to answer the Little Lady sitting in front of him.

"My Lady, My daily life is going well. Everyone is nice to me and always helps me in everything and teaches me new things on daily basis."
