The Orca Black Magician’s Baby (38)

Chapter 38

Had my dad’s love for silence returned with a vengeance?

He was as quiet as when we first met.

‘Besides, why isn’t Agenor here?’

If I’m not around, he should be out training diligently, rain or shine.

Moreover, I haven’t properly thanked him yet, and it’s hard to face him.

I haven’t had a real conversation with Agenor since that day.

According to Layla, Agenor has been training hard.

However, like me, Agenor is also exempt from attending the intermediate classes, so he’s probably in his own building.

‘Hmm, he’s a bit slow on the uptake sometimes.’

After thinking for a moment, I looked up.

“……”

Even in that short time, Dad remained silent.

At this point, it seemed like his silence had become a chronic condition.

‘……Or is he just unhappy about something and making that face again?’

That expression was definitely similar to the one I saw when I brought Agenor in as my second disciple.

Even though my vision is still a bit blurry in one eye, it was clear as day.

“Victory.”

Finally, Dad’s mouth opened.

As someone carrying the heavy burden of rehabilitating my homeroom teacher, I had no choice but to listen attentively.

“……is only truly victory when it is achieved without wounds.”

“Huh.”

What was he even talking about? I was dumbfounded.

“What are you talking about, Master? How can you always win without wounds? That’s……”

“Didn’t you agree to follow my words as law from the moment you called me Master?”

“……Well, that’s true.”

When did I ever say that? I never agreed to follow them like the law, though?

I had a mountain of things I wanted to say.

But in any situation, the person with something to hide is always at a disadvantage.

I bit my lip hard, then stopped, startled by the pain.

“I have always won without wounds.”

“But you’re the Master.”

……Hey, I’m just a loser who hasn’t even awakened my powers yet.

I wanted to say this, but somehow the words wouldn’t come out.

Why did I feel a little sad at this moment?

‘I won a group fight. Do you think it’s easy to win at this age? ……You could at least praise me once before scolding me.’

At times like this, I conveniently blamed my young body.

There are times when my emotional control inevitably weakens, no matter how much I try to endure.

I felt like my eyes were going to turn red out of embarrassment, so I bowed my head deeply.

Ugh, I even came here with muscle pain. He could at least offer a word of welcome.

Well, when has that father ever welcomed me?

‘A human I can’t understand—what he’s thinking is beyond me.’

I bit my lip, then closed it tightly and clenched my teeth.

“Where are you going?”

“……I’m leaving.”

I came to train, but looking at the situation, today wasn’t a good day for it.

When I think about it, I don’t know what I was going to do with this limping leg anyway.

I just felt like I had to come here.

Looking back now, I must have been temporarily insane.

However, I couldn’t take a few steps before I floated into the air.

It wasn’t my doing. A stream of water was wrapping around me.

Feeling my clothes slightly damp, I wished that this stream of water would splash on my face as well.

‘Our dad [referring to her Earth dad] wouldn’t have said this.’

The more I thought about my dad back on Earth, the weaker my resolve to hold back my tears seemed to become.

I didn’t want to let go because I thought I would look weak.

It was my pride.

Whether he knew my feelings or didn’t think they were worth acknowledging.

I had to face Dad with a messy face.

Seeing his face, which was so calm and unchanged from usual, made me angry.

What, what is it? Did he lift me up just to show off his disgustingly handsome face even in this moment?

“Your body is a weapon.”

When that same low voice flowed out, my rebellious side immediately surfaced.

I glared at him with an expression I wouldn’t normally make.

“So what are you saying?”

“Weapons rust or break if not maintained.”

“What’s that got to d……!”

“The same goes for your body.”

“……”

I was speechless.

“As a teacher, I have the right to scold you for neglecting your weapon.”

“……”

……What. He’s treating people like human weapons.

I should be angry, but I wasn’t.

My gaze wandered aimlessly.

Because he might mistake my uncomfortable expression as being his fault.

“A properly refined and tempered weapon can be used for a lifetime.”

“……”

“I am someone who failed to temper that weapon, so this is the advice I can give.”

I suddenly thought of Pierre, who was alone in this space.

An orca with immense power but born with a sickly body as if he were penalized.

In nature, almost all animals that are not normal are eliminated.

But my father, with his solitary and noble power, couldn’t even choose to be eliminated.

You said you failed to temper the weapon. Does that mean you tried to get better somehow but failed?

“Pierre was truly the object of everyone’s envy. There wasn’t a day he wasn’t the center of attention until he closed his eyes.”

If he failed and was in unwanted attention until he died.

No, that’s too much of a leap. I know nothing about my dad’s life.

I can’t judge based only on what I’ve heard indirectly.

Tingle.

Before I knew it, the water was washing away the wound.

The dirt that had been on me from running here was washed away.

“So, are you saying it’s my fault for getting hurt?”

I asked, enduring the stinging pain.

“Is this kind of victory wrong?”

In my long life, this was all I had for victory.

There were no other victories.

How can I win as nobly as you do?

I can’t even get the power of water that you so easily grasped without struggling.

“If you were going to follow every direction I set, you wouldn’t have asked me to take you on as a disciple as if you were entrusting me with it in the first place.”

“What are you talking about? You told me to follow every word like it was the law.”

“Preparing the process for you is different from presenting the goal. Do you want me to live your life for you?”

“No, absolutely not.”

My life is mine. I’m going back in this life.

I stubbornly stared at my dad.

“A master and disciple are inevitably destined to part ways someday.”

Why is that? Maybe it’s because of the sound of the wind, but it sounded a bit bitter.

“Didn’t you ask me to be your teacher because you wanted this?”

It was as if he was asking if I was calling him ‘teacher’ instead of ‘dad’ for that reason.

It was a double meaning that I probably wouldn’t have noticed if I hadn’t known that Dad knew about this play through Layla.

How sly.

“Teacher, were you worried about me?”

I grabbed my dad’s collar roughly and asked.

Dad stared at me without answering, then slowly tilted his head.

“Your dad said he cherished and loved you very much.”

“That’s right.”

“What would your father, who cherished you so much, say in a moment like this?”

That would be…….

“He would say he was so, so worried, get angry, scold me. He would hug me. No, he will hug me.”

“……”

“In the end, he will tell me he loves his daughter.”

I recalled memories from a long time ago and lowered my head.

Then, I took the strength out of the hand that was holding his collar and squeezed it tightly instead.

“Teacher, can you just say one word for me?”

“What is it?”

“Repeat after me. I was worried, Calypso.”

“……”

Nothing filled the eyes looking at me.

But I was okay with that.

So I said clearly.

“It’s okay if it’s a lie, I just want you to say that to me.”

Because now I know why I limped all the way here.

Just as I was about to give up looking at my dad, his lips slowly opened.

“I was worried, Calypso.”

That alone was enough for me.

I closed my eyes tightly.

* * *

‘Okay. I’ve decided.’

Three days later, I made a decision.

My aching legs and body were almost healed.

Such a good recovery; I felt good that I was seeing the effects of the water’s power without awakening [without fully unlocking my magical abilities].

‘I’m giving up on the parent summons!’

I was lying down and thinking about it, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t find a way to call Dad without any problems.

The only thing I have is to tell the truth, but the problem is that I don’t know what will happen after that.

I didn’t want to bet anything on the uncertain side if possible.

“Huh? So you’re just going to attend alone?”

I was able to see Agenor for the first time in a while two days ago, and Agenor came to where I live.

At first, he seemed surprised by the condition of this building.

“So this kind of family style is your taste!”

He seemed to have accepted it in his own way. Whatever he was thinking, it was probably 100% wrong.

“But are you going to be okay? I heard that the parents have to participate in the highest council.”
