Water and Fire Twins Magician
Chapter 18: Cultivating both civil and military skills
"Based on the current situation, we can basically rule out the possibility that this person is a fanatical Helen worshipper," said Gandalf.
"You mean, we're still not sure whether he's a friend or an enemy?" Jacques asked.
"Yes. He must be working for a group we don't know about. At first he thought it would be good for them to get rid of you. But after the Helen Festival, his mind obviously changed, so he adjusted his strategy."
As for why there was such a 180-degree turn, Gandalf still couldn't figure it out.
The two ladies, Parra and Barbara, still maintained a superficial friendship and a close relationship with Beruni.
But of course they were still jealous and even hostile to Jacques.
They each had a child named Ben and Jack, who were both a little older than Jacques. But when Jacques was already running around the house, Ben and Jack were still crawling on the ground. When they finally learned to walk with the help of adults, their brother Jacques had already climbed to the roof to play hide-and-seek with the kitten.
The two ladies were shocked and frightened by Jacques's extraordinary growth rate. Their child had obviously eaten a lot of precious supplements, so how could he be so much worse than the one who only drank breast milk?
They could never have imagined that the difference was caused by breast milk.
In a few years, Jacques was a whole head taller than his two brothers. The two ladies' fantasy of letting their children bully their younger brother and giving him a dark childhood was completely shattered.
Ben and Jack, on the other hand, were totally different from their mother. They had no desire to hate or compete with Jacques. Instead, they were willing to follow Jacques and treated him as the little boss.
When the two ladies heard the words "Boss Jacques" from their mouths for the first time, they were so angry that they almost fainted.
"How many times have I told you? You are older than him! You are of a higher generation than him! He should call you elder brother, and you should call him younger brother, understand?"
Palala's earnest words of advice only resulted in deeper hurt.
"Mom/Auntie, in our world, the most powerful person is the boss! Jacques is our boss!" Ben and Jack answered at the same time in innocent voices.
The world of children is far less complicated than that of adults.
"You are already eight years old, and you are the younger brother of a six-year-old. Aren't you ashamed? He is still your biological brother!" Barbara pointed out the window angrily, and saw Jacques doing push-ups one after another on the hillside not far away.
Ben and Jack were of course ashamed, because while they were drinking afternoon tea and chatting with their mother, Jacques was still working hard. They knew that every time Jacques did one more push-up than them, the gap between them would widen a little bit.
"I want to practice with the boss!"
"Me too! If we don't work harder, the boss will dislike us!"
As soon as the two children finished speaking, they ran towards Jacques, making the two ladies very angry.
Masala Town is a place where the service industry is the mainstay industry. Most of the residents do jobs similar to those of mercenaries, forming a martial arts atmosphere. Children in the town have to undergo physical and martial arts training from an early age, and even the lord's family is no exception.
Because not everyone has the opportunity to learn magic, only children who are recognized by the temple priests at the Helen Festival can receive the classics and guidance on how to practice. However, there is no such threshold for physical fitness and martial arts training.
For children without magical potential, this may be their only chance to stand out with their own abilities. If they are successful in training and can get a position in the territory, their life will be much easier.
If you have higher talent and better achievements, you may be sent by the lord to study at a martial arts academy in a big city, or even be able to roam freely on the Love Continent for a few years!
Of course, most people are just of average standard, hoping to find a stable job in their own territory.
As for Jacques, who was recognized as a magical genius and was being trained by the Helen Temple, he had been exempted from physical and martial arts training as per convention.
According to common sense in the Love Continent, in order to maximize the potential of his genius, Jacques should spend all his time and energy on improving his magic power and elemental affinity.
But even so, Jacques is still willing to spend half of his time every day exercising with everyone. One of the reasons is that as a reincarnated time traveler, since he has been reborn by chance, he must seize every opportunity in his life.
Although he was relatively healthy in his previous life, he was thin and weak, and his physical strength was not good. He couldn't help but suspect that he was too focused on studying when he was young and neglected physical exercise. Therefore, in this life, he decided to train his body well and lay a good foundation.
Of course, there is another reason, which is Gandalf's urging.
"Since ancient times, magicians have been famous for their magic and long-range attacks, but their weaknesses are naturally their relatively weak physical strength and limited melee ability. Therefore, this is also the reason why magicians find it difficult to reach the sanctuary level." Gandalf said: "I think the entire concept of magic education is wrong! Especially for us mercenaries, if we don't have good skills, how can we steal... steal... kill those targets!"
Did I say I wanted to be a mercenary? Jacques muttered to himself, the old man is trying to brainwash me again.
"So, in addition to being a Sanctuary Magician, you are also a warrior?"
"It's just average, only about the seventh level." Gandalf said, "If I had started practicing martial arts since I was a child, my achievements today would definitely be more than this."
Jacques didn't know at this time how rare the identity of a Sanctuary Magician, coupled with the melee ability of a seventh-level warrior, was in the Love Continent.
