"We're gonna have the first training session today."
The boy instantly turned around with a bright smile on his face. "The mock-up battle?"
He was so excited that he looked like he might just shoot to the ceiling. He must have waited for this impatiently. Was it because he liked fighting so much? Or was it because he'd get to spend some time with me? He seemed to like it when I paid attention to him.
Well, that's one of the reasons I did plan this training in the first place. So that I could do some "bonding" with him. I didn't care about having close relationships with anyone, and I haven't attempted to have one in years, so I didn't exactly know how to do it. That was the best idea I could come up with, at least one that wasn't too bothersome.
"Yeah," I answered curtly and got up. I had nothing else to say to the boy right now, so I just grabbed my coffee and went back to my room. I wanted to do some reading before we go.
