TBATE: The Beginning of My Redemption

Chapter 6 : A Prodigy's Homecoming

"It's been 3 years already, huh?" I think to myself as I continue doing push-ups. After a while, I stop and sit down, looking at a tree. "Lilia, come out. I know you're there." Ever since I accidentally scared her during training, she wants her revenge, and now and then she plays tricks like this.

"Hehe, you found me," she giggles, stepping out from behind the tree.

"Really, like I said, it's impossible to scare me," I reply. Hearing my words, she stomps her feet.

"Hmph, I will do it one day."

I give a small laugh. "Maybe in ten years. Now, let's get inside; otherwise, our parents will get angry if we stay out late again."

Walking up next to me, she says, "Yeah, I don't want to see Mom angry again."

After a while, we arrived at the door leading into the house from the back. As we approached the main corridor, I noticed Ellie, the elder maid, and Mother hugging someone. Upon closer inspection, I saw it was Arthur. Before I could react, Father appeared and embraced both of them. Sighing, I glanced at Lillia.

hat leads into the house from the back. Hmm? As we approach the main corridor door, I see Ellie, the elder maid, and then Mother hugging someone. I look more closely and see Arthur. Before I can react, Father appears and hugs both of them. Seeing this, I sigh and look at Lillia.

"Come on, let's go," I say.

Following me, Lillia asks, "Who was that boy?"

"He's my brother," I reply.

Hearing my words, Lillia stops in her tracks. "Wasn't he dead?"

I give a small smile. "He is a prodigy, and prodigies always find a way."

We start walking again, and she hesitates before asking, "Is he more of a prodigy than you?"

Hearing this question, I close my eyes, thinking for a bit as we arrive at the living room. "In some aspects, maybe." I wasn't sure if I was more of a prodigy because I couldn't create a footwork technique at the age he did; the same goes for awakening the core. Although in the past, I created a lot of techniques based on Chidori, I didn't create the Chidori itself.

I push the chair out a bit for her, and she sits down and pushes the chair back. I sit next to her. Looking at me with her head on the table, she asks, "So who would win in a fight between you two?"

I'm quite surprised by this question and wonder why she's so curious about it. "Well, I would win, there is no doubt about that, but he might cause me a little trouble."

Then I ask, "Why are you so curious about it?"

She tilts her head, thinking for a moment. "I guess I just want to know who's stronger. It's exciting to think about."

after We chat for a while, then I hear Mother's voice. "Sasu, Arthur is back." I see Mother, Father, Sister, and Arthur coming in.

Arthur leywin POV

"We're finally home, Sylie. Are you ready?" I knock on the door and start thinking about what has happened these past two years. I had nearly died, lost someone important, killed, and trained for my life. But none of these experiences were as nerve-wracking as this moment.

"Coming," I hear a voice from the other side of the door. It's a little girl's voice, followed by an elderly woman opening the door.

"May I help you, young man?" she asks.

I bow slightly. "Er, nice to meet you," I say, then continue, "My name is Arthur Leywin. I was informed that my family is currently residing in this manor."
