"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
On the training field, the sound of air explosions echoed continuously.
If anyone else were standing here, they would surely be shocked by the scene before them.
Because these sounds weren't made by any machine, but by an orange spear tearing through the air!
Moreover, what was even more unbelievable was that the person wielding the spear wasn't some imagined martial arts giant, but a girl with two long ahoge who looked only eight or nine years old!
The spear was about two meters long, almost twice the height of the girl, making it look extremely incongruous. The entire spear weighed no less than several hundred kilograms, and it was hard to imagine how the girl's slender arms could wield such a "behemoth"!
"Your strength is sufficient, but your technique and experience are still far from enough. Keep practicing this move until you can thrust the spear without causing air fluctuations!"
"Well, but Rei-chan is already amazing, achieving this level in just one year."
On a nearby lounge chair lay a handsome man with black hair and black eyes, watching the girl wield the spear with a faint smile. While pointing out her shortcomings, he also encouraged her in a way that comforted a child.
The man was Sora, his head resting on the lap of Yumeri, who was wearing a seductive uniform, basking in the warm sunlight, his face ruddy, clearly living a very comfortable life.
The girl was naturally Miyamoto Rei. Although only a year had passed, she had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Under Sora's deliberate cultivation, the girl had completely shed her original childishness. Because she had cultivated internal energy, she now exuded a heroic aura. If she were a bit taller, she would surely be a majestic female general.
"Mm, big brother, Rei will work even harder!"
Retracting the spear and wiping the sweat from her forehead, the girl answered with a determined expression.
In addition to physical changes, her mentality had also matured a lot over the past year. Under Sora's guidance, even the current Miyamoto Rei already possessed wisdom no less than that of an adult.
"Haha, no need to push yourself so hard, you're already doing really well. Come here, take a break for now."
Shaking his head and laughing, Sora wasn't lying at all. Miyamoto Rei's talent in spear techniques had even exceeded his expectations.
That move of thrusting the spear to create an air explosion would take even martial arts masters about ten years to master!
Perhaps it was because she was a person blessed with great fortune…
"Giggle, big brother is the best!"
Although she had matured a lot, Sora hadn't stifled the girl's nature.
Not only did she receive praise, but she could also take a good rest. Miyamoto Rei immediately showed a happy expression. She stored the spear in the ring hanging from her neck with a thread and skipped over.
Conjuring a stream of water to wash away the sweat on the girl's body, Miyamoto Rei also cooperatively released her internal energy to evaporate the water droplets, then threw herself into Sora's arms.
Clearly, such actions were already very familiar to both of them.
Lazily lying on Sora, closing her eyes, and smelling the familiar scent, the girl showed a comfortable expression.
"Hey, genius girl over there, don't push yourself too hard if you can't handle it!"
While gently stroking the smooth hair of the girl in his arms, Sora teased a pink-haired, twin-tailed glasses girl not far away.
The girl was sitting cross-legged on the ground with her eyes closed, and dozens of leaves were floating around her in a strange manner, constantly rotating.
Her face showed a hint of difficulty, clearly indicating that all this was her doing.
As if interrupted by Sora's voice, the leaves all fell to the ground. The glasses girl opened her eyes and glared at Sora angrily.
"Hmph! I'm the smartest genius girl, I won't lose to that idiot Rei!"
Well, this girl was Takagi Saya. From her tone, it was clear that the genius girl had recently been frustrated by Miyamoto Rei in Sora's arms.
This was unavoidable. Although her brain was smart enough, her physical talent was far behind Miyamoto Rei's! After a year of training, Miyamoto Rei had already become a small expert, while she had just cultivated internal energy, only slightly stronger than her peers.
So, the girl had to find comfort in what she was good at. The seed Sora had planted in her had already started to take effect, and even at her young age, her mental strength far exceeded that of an ordinary adult.
Following Sora's method, she practiced her mental strength every day besides necessary physical training. However, compared to No. 2 Matsu, who could control satellites in space from Earth, she was still far behind. At most, she could now control computers up close, acting as a wireless mouse.
Of course, this achievement was also quite good, as the growth of mental strength was inherently difficult. But the tsundere and self-proclaimed genius girl Saya always felt that she had lost to Rei-chan, so she kept working hard in frustration.
"Alright, little girl, you should take a break too!"
Directly grabbing the tsundere and competitive little loli from a distance, Sora pressed her into his arms like Miyamoto Rei.
Although he wanted to turn the women around him into goddess-level figures, it wasn't a race against time, and there was no need to rush. Seeing them work so hard, Sora felt a bit heartbroken.
Although she struggled a bit at first, she eventually softened. Like Miyamoto Rei, Takagi Saya also enjoyed the feeling of lying on Sora, but the tsundere girl would never admit it.
"Rei, Saya, Yumeri, I've already taught you everything. From now on, you'll practice on your own. I'll be leaving for a long time."
While gently stroking the two girls' heads, Sora slowly spoke.
"Wuu… big brother, are you leaving us? Don't you want Rei anymore? Rei wants to be big brother's bride when she grows up. Big brother, don't leave us, okay…"
Startled by Sora's words, Miyamoto Rei immediately stood up, tears welling up in her eyes, showing extreme reluctance.
Although they hadn't formed a contract yet, Sora's guidance over the past year wasn't in vain. In Miyamoto Rei's heart, she had already decided on Sora, and the same was true for the tsundere Saya.
So, suddenly hearing that Sora would be leaving for a long time, both girls were a bit emotional, although the intellectual Saya was relatively calmer.
As for Yumeri behind Sora, she didn't have many thoughts, continuing to massage Sora. After all, whatever the master did was the truth, and she just needed to serve him well.
"Haha, don't worry, you're my treasures. I'll never abandon you."
"Five years, I'll come back to find you then. So, during this time, you must work hard on your training. If you don't meet my requirements by then, I'll punish you!"
While speaking to the two girls, Sora also made a fierce expression.
In one year, Sora had already invested enough time in the two girls, teaching them enough to practice for several years. So, Sora planned to travel through time and jump directly to the future.
Now, there were still eight years until the story began, when the world would completely collapse. Originally, Sora planned to jump directly to that point.
However, because he thought of someone, Sora decided to temporarily jump only five years into the future. By then, Miyamoto Rei and the others should already be in middle school.
"Big brother, you must come back to find us. Rei will definitely practice hard!"
Although it was hard to part, under Sora's guidance, Miyamoto Rei was very obedient. Knowing that Sora would return, she felt somewhat better.
"I… I will too…"
With a slightly red face, Takagi Saya also spoke up.
"Hehe, alright. I will spend the next three days with you, and then I will leave."
"After I leave, you must come here every day to train. Remember to listen to Sister Yumeri."
"Yumeri, I leave this place to you. You must also train hard. The power of lightning I have bestowed upon you is an incredibly powerful ability, but if your own strength is insufficient, you won't be able to use it."
"And also, you must train your body well. Otherwise, before other sisters come, you won't be able to hold on…"
Smiling, Sora gave his instructions to the two girls and Yumeri behind him.
…
Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, Sora didn't make them train but instead spent time playing with them. Miyamoto Rei and Takagi Saya were fine, just feeling a bit reluctant to part. Yumeri, however, had it rough, being thoroughly exhausted by Sora every night. Even after Sora left, she would probably need to rest for a few days.
"I've even taken away their childhood. Komuro Takashi, you are destined to live a mediocre life as an extra…"
Watching the three girls waving tearfully as he left, a smile appeared on Sora's lips. Transforming into a streak of light, he completely disappeared into the world.
