"Oh? Lieutenant John? That… seems okay." Lucius said, not knowing what to reply.

He did not know the man well enough to judge him, but from his father's choice since he was picked that meant that he must have a certain level of skill. On the other hand, Lucius had seen his demeanor and could tell the man was quite disciplined.

'Also since his daughter Cia has an Epic ranked gift, it is likely he has a high ranked gift too. I'd like to see what it is. My Aether seems to have been restored so I should gather the information on as many gifts as I can.' Lucius thought.

Soon Lucius was done dressing up and went downstairs to have his breakfast. He was indeed feeling a bit hungry which was a good sign. It meant that his body was now actively trying to recover.

Oftentimes, when a soul took over another body, due to the incompatibility things such as appetite, would be suppressed. This would lead to a slow recovery of the body and could cause more problems for the person.

They reached the dining hall, where the servants had already set up the meal for him. Kiana threw a questioning gaze towards them, as she was the one who was supposed to do it. One of the servants mouthed something in silence, which made Kiana understand.

"Seems like aunt Lita set up the breakfast for you in my stead," Kiana said.

"Madam has also left five minutes ago to go on her tasks." One of the servants informed.

"Where did mother go?" Lucius questioned, feeling a bit strange.

"Aunt Lita probably went to set up the houses for the parents of the babies that awakened Rare gifts." Kiana answered.

"I see…" Lucius said before sitting down at the table.

He then had a scrupulous meal of eggs, bread, some sausages and fresh fruit that looked similar to an apple but tasted more citrus like.

'This bread though… it seems a bit different. Is it just a different type of grain? Or something else.' Lucius wondered.

The bread seemed just like what normal wheat bread would look like but its taste was slightly different. There was this extra chewiness to it. It wasn't too much, not too less. Many people would probably not tell the difference either.

Lucius guessed that this was probably just due to the difference in the world. But after eating some more, he felt like he had eaten this in his previous world too. But he couldn't recall where.

'I'll think of it later. It doesn't seem that important for now…' Lucius thought.

"Master Kain has arrived!" A servant announced.

Just as Lucius had finished his breakfast, Kain had arrived for their daily lessons.

"When will I do my swordsmanship training with lieutenant John?" Lucius questioned Kiana.

"The training will start at 3 pm every day and lieutenant John will be waiting for you at the training hall." Kiana answered.

"Alright, I'll head to the library now then," Lucius replied.

Lucius met up with Kain midway to the library and saw that he was carrying a larger bag today. Kain noticed his look and knew what he was thinking.

"I brought a few more lesson plans that you can read up. I was gonna give them to you later, but seeing your progress I thought it would be better to give them to you as early as possible." Kain replied.

Lucius nodded his head in acknowledgment. He was now starting to like this man as he seemed to be a relatively good teacher that knew how to adapt to the student's performance.

Lucius had seen far too many teachers, masters, and tutors in his past life that stuck to their methods, which resulted in them being quite bad at teaching. He was pleased that this man was at least smart enough to know how to progress.

At the library, Kain started his lesson and was pleased with the self study that Lucius had done with Kiana last night. He had learned more than double the words that he had learned from him yesterday.

Kain now knew that his effort was not as much needed as he thought. With a pupil this excellent, any teacher would start feeling a bit inadequate. Thus, he simply gave him the lesson plan and taught him new words to further his vocabulary.

Lucius had already shown a decent grasp of the grammar and only needed to learn the more finer nuances which he would eventually get to once his vocabulary was large enough.

Time passed, and soon it was time for Lieutenant John's lesson. Lucius bade farewell to Kain before Kiana came to take him to the training hall.

The training hall was located at the back of the mansion and was an independent building of its own. It had everything that one would need to train in a variety of weapons. And not only that, it was even equipped so that one could train with different types of gifts.

Usually this training hall was used by the guards, but originally it was for the personal practice of the Count and his family. But ever since Count Gabriel's time, he had decided to let the guards use it as well. He thought that it would be a waste to let it stand there without much use, since he was away from the mansion most of the time and his son wasn't old enough to practice.

When Asher did grow old enough, he also practiced here at the training hall along with a few guards and this was where he learned the most basic of swordsmanship. And now, here was Lucius, repeating the cycle again.

This training hall was different than the grounds where Lucius had seen the guards practice two days ago when he was still paralyzed. That was the ground near the guard barracks while this one was near the mansion and of a much huger quality.

Upon entering the hall, Lucius saw all equipment that was neatly placed in their places and a man who was practicing his swordsmanship against the captain of the guards, Donald.
