BEHIND HIS COLD FACADE (FEM! READER)

JOINING × THE × TRAINING

Y/N'S POINT OF VIEW

I opened the door to my home to see my parents waiting for me, I smiled at them and closed the door.

"Good evening!"

"So... Y/n..."

"Yes, otosan?"

"I want to say to you that you will be starting your training tomorrow."

"Eh? That's too early!"

"You need to, dear."

My mother said, and I heard a sound inside my head that I constantly ignored, but something was off about it. How did this voice inside of my head know that this was about to happen?

I nodded my head as I decided to follow that voice inside of my mind this time. This will be the first time I follow this voice.

My father and mother sat on the chair in front of a table, and between them was me, their daughter, we were eating together.

"So? Why did you come back late?" My mother asks.

"I met these boys named Pairo and Kurapika! Pairo was so kind!"

I answered.

"The other one is well. He was cheerful and always had a smile on his face! But I much like Pairo, he was so calm and always had a smile on his face!"

I added, and my father chuckled at me, and so was my mother.

"So, did you have fun playing with them?"

My mother asked.

"Yes! I like both of them very much! I want to be just like Pairo. He was always calm!"

I answered as my mother let out a sigh and smiled at me because hearing me tell them how much I enjoyed was enough for her to know that it wasn't a bad decision to let me wander around, okasan is too tense sometimes...

"Yes, because calmness can solve almost everything." My father said.

"Almost?"

"Hai, because if you stay calm despite the situation where your life is at stake, you can think of a way correctly." My mother said.

"But if you panic, then you won't be able to think clearly, and so, you might lose your life."

My father added as I gasped. We continued eating and after we were done, I help my mother to clean the table even though I couldn't reach it, I went to bed after helping my mother whereas my father would tell me bedtime story.

"Otosan...."

"Hmm?"

"I wonder what the outside world looks like."

"Don't worry about the outside world. It's dangerous there."

"Oh.... alright."

Soon, I fell asleep, and I felt my father kiss my forehead.

"Good night, my sweet daughter."

He then turns off the light and closes the door to my room.

The next day, it was hectic. My mother woke me up at five and made me run across our house for five minutes, and the other exercise followed.

Kurapika and Pairo watched me train and decided to join. My parents agreed and trained them together, it was hard for me but it was worth it because I had my friends beside me.

The training continued that sometimes, I couldn't help but be sad because instead of running around, we were training. I knew it was necessary because when children reach ten year old, they will be thought combat to protect their eyes if it turn to Scarlett.

Nevertheless, I endured what I was feeling because even if we weren't able to run around the village and play, we could still see each other and laugh at each other. That gave okasan a big trouble.

A week later, we had master combat, and the slowest to master it was me, of course, because I needed to hide something that I recently found out.

"Alright, so today, you all will learn how to use a sword. First, let's start with a wooden sword."

Nahita, my mother handed the wooden sword to everyone.

"First, try to swing it vertically, next, swing it horizontally and last, swing it diagonally."

We followed, well, it wasn't hard for them but since I was the youngest, I 'often' make some mistake or so...

Okasan takes out some wooden dummy and places it in front of the us.

"So, I need the three of you to try and hit this wooden dummy."

We all tried and hit their own dummy at the same time.

"Pairo, your stance is making it harder for you to move."

"Oh, alright!"

Pairo then fixes his stance, trying to figure it out as my father helps Pairo on his stance.

Okasan looks at Pika and then walks away again. It seems that everything is perfectly fine with Pika. Okasan soon reached where I was.

"Dear, because of your stance, you were having a difficult time keeping your balance. Second, your swing was not effective. You need to swing it with force."

Okasan said and then helped me while otosan helped Pairo and Kurapika.

"Try to relax your body. Don't be too stiff."

Finally, it was 4 pm, and the training came to an end.

"Alright, that's all for today."

Okasan said.

"Arigato, Nahita-san! Sayonara!"

The two boys waved at Okasan and me, I waved back at them, and so is okasan. She might look strict when she was training others, but she was actually gentle and soft.

"So, today's training has come to an end. I believe that my lovely Y/n will be able to master the sword after three weeks of training."

My father said as my mother let out a sigh and prepared dinner.

"The boy with yellow hair earlier seems like he already knows swordsmanship." My mother said.

"It appears so."

My father replied to my mother as we all sat down in front of the table and started to eat our meals.
