A Realist & An Idealist | COTEXEITS

Part 1.2

A/N: Greetings everyone,

It has been a long time since my last update, but well, anyway. I hope everyone is doing alright in their day-to-day life.

This chapter has been in my draft for a long time now, it's just that there are a few things that I had planned for this story, beforehand and I don't think that those things will have a bad impact on the story moving forward. I think I need to change some of those plot points and come up with a new one to make this story more with the EITS format and if I am going to do that then I have to create a completely new story, entirely.

Well, I will talk about my previous plot points at the end of this chapter and I like your opinion on some point in the plot.

So let's move on to the story, I hope you enjoy this new chapter.

______________________________________________________________________________

Every day, I would wake up early in the morning and then start my day by doing some physical workout. After that, I would always take a bath so that I could look presentable in front of my family on the dining table. And later joined my family at the dining table to partake in breakfast.

After breakfast, I would always leave for my workshop, it was once a simple warehouse Mother had arranged for me in the middle of the forest, away from any known human establishments. Nowadays, I use it as a place in many different ways. Sometimes, I use this place to research ancient magic, other times, I use it to do experimentation on modern magic. On some occasions, I use this space to experiment on precise control of mana present within my body, on other occasions, I use it to do the same thing with natural mana present everywhere. I, sometimes, even use this place as my place to rest.

At noon, I would always return to Kagenō estate to again join my family at the dining table for lunch.

After lunch, I would sometimes have to join Claire and Cid to take lessons on noble etiquette and cultural arts for 2 whole hours.

Then, I would again leave for my workshop until dinner time.

And that's how I spent my day-to-day second life as an aristocrat whenever I didn't have much to do...

...or that was how it was supposed to be.

But here I was, in the middle of the night, following after Cid in the forest, when I was supposed to be in sleeping in my bedroom.

This was how my new life as an aristocrat has been so far.

I would always have to present myself as a child prodigy, who is good at magic research during the daytime and at night, I have to keep an eye on my younger brother's eccentric activities.

Cid has always been an eccentric boy since birth. He would always behave in an unorthodox way, sometimes, even I was unable to predict how he would react under some circumstances, like how he would always hold back and lose to Claire in a sparring match due to swordsmanship training.

He is always trying to hide his actual capabilities from everyone, even our father and Claire, who spend considerable time with him, are unaware of his actual capabilities when it comes to swordsmanship and magic. And he would always have a unique reaction reach whenever anyone tries, or even actually, belittle him right in front of him. He, somehow, takes it as a compliment to his brilliant performance, or whatever he likes to refer to it.

But even after having all of these unique tyrants, he has always been training diligently by following his training regimen in the forest in the darkness of night, just like today.

After finishing his training regime, he would return to Kagenō estate, or sometimes, he would go on an expedition to find some bandit hideout and then hunt them down one after another until no bandits remained in that particular hideout. Or he would go to his warehouse, a mention in an abandoned house or a cave, to perform his research and experiment.
