After silently finishing their breakfast, Lucas opened his mouth.
"I heard that you are learning swordplay from Adele, is that true." Lucas asked while he elegantly cleaned his lips with a small white handkerchief.
Hearing Lucas's question, Alex did feel a bit surprised about Lucas's question as Alex was kinda hoping for a 'Kicking out house' like news or something along the line.
'Rumours do spread fast like wildfire. But why is this supposed father of mine sudden interest in my daily life.' Alex thought while he replied.
"Yes Father, I recently became interested in learning about swords and when I asked Adele if she could teach me, she said yes." Hearing Alex reply, Andrew and even Tina suddenly perked their ears and carefully listened to their conversation.
But Lisa didn't even show any noticeable interest in the news—probably because she was already informed. But she was not that happy about the news.
Alex is still perplexed with why Lisa harbours a deep dislike for Alex, He can't just understand the reason for the undeserving hate that is not only directed at him but also Sylvie.
In the Flameborn family, Alex can be said to be the laziest and untalented individual, who has no motivation to become strong. The reason for that was still unknown for current Alex.
But the current Alex was different from the previous one, the sudden change may be the reason why Lucas called him.
"So, do you plan to become a swordsman instead of a magician, when you become an imperial." Lucas asked still maintaining his calm look.
'Ok, What the actual shit is going on? And why the sudden interest towards my future?' Alex thought before he replied.
"I have not decided on which path I should take when I become an Imperial. I just thought Swordplay is good which is why I am learning it." Lucas was silent after hearing Alex reply.
In this world, an Imperial can be said to be a person who embarks on the path of strength—Similar to a cultivator from a cultivation novel.
And a person can embark on the road of Imperial after they reach 10 years when their foundations are formed.
Normally it's only when you are 10 years old, you will have enough mana to create your foundation or first pillar, after your first pillar is formed you can start cultivating your strength.
But there are exceptions, there are times when the young Imperial's foundations are completed early and start their path early on. They are an extremely small group of people, who are called by the nickname genius and they have great connection with mana.
And Sylvie is a prime example of this.
Of course, Alex is no genius but he has other cheats in the form of inventory, abilities and future knowledge.
In the game, there are two ways to increase personal power, the first and obvious way is to have sex with women and the second way is to hunt monsters.
But Alex doesn't know if that system still works in the current world as he neither had the chance to kill a beast nor is physically fit to have sex with women.
Without enough strength, Alex can't even hunt a weak goblin. So that two paths remain closed for now—And instead of choosing to wait for the year to check whether the levelling system works or not, Alex chose to become Imperial because if by any chance the game's levelling system doesn't work then he would fuck up.
And it's always better to predict the worst possible outcome.
After Lucas asked a couple more questions, he left the table followed by Lisa. Leaving only Andrew, Tina, Sylvie and Alex in the hall.

After Lucas asked a couple more questions, he left the table followed by Lisa. Leaving only Andrew, Tina, Sylvie and Alex in the hall.
"So now you learn that you are useless in magic, you are changing your path and becoming a Swordsman, pathetic just like you." Andrew said seeing only the children are present at the dining table.
'Dude, chill down. What with the sudden hostility. It's not like I fucked your mother or kill your parents, right.' Alex thought after seeing Andrew's hostility.
"Brother, you are talking rudely towards your brother." The one who said it was none other than Sylvie, who seems mad about the way Andrew talks about Alex, followed by Tina.
"Yes, what the big sister said is true, Brother. You can't talk to big brother Alex like that." Tina said to Andrew.
Looking at Tina, Who is pouted at Andrew with her chubby cheeks, only one thought entered Alex's mind.
[IMAGE HERE]
'Damn, Is it legal for her to walk around like that, what if some lolicon came to kidnap her? And how does the old Alex even though she bullied him—In fact, Even if she indeed bullied him, he should consider it an honour to be bullied by Loli. And why was such a girl as cute as her not in the game.' Alex thought while he looked at Tina.
Yes, What Alex said was indeed true in the game there was no such character as Tina or Andrew most of the people who Alex saw were not even mentioned in the game, except Lucas.
Lucas's name was mentioned in both Sylvie and Alexander's background in the game lore, but that was it—just mentioned—except that there was no additional information about him.
While Alex was in thought, Andrew who has been scolded by both Sylvie and Tina becomes mad.
"Stop hiding behind your sisters, You coward. Fight like a man." Said the pesky older brother, who was yet to go through his adolescence.
"Brother, I don't want to argue with you for such a childless reason. And I am a coward that hides behind my sister." Alex said, hearing that Andrew and Tina looked at Alex as if they were seeing him for the first time.
'What didn't expect me to talk back to you?' Well, the previous Alex was a 'coward' like Andrew said but is it right to call an 8-year-old boy, who is yet to experience the real world a coward—that Alex doesn't know?
But the one thing Alex does know is that the previous Alex was going to become a villain.
Hearing what Alex, Andrew became flustered as he couldn't find words to argue against Alex. And that frustration was taken out in physical form.
"You!Bastard!" Andrew shouted as he tried to punch Alex.
'Did this little shit just cussed, Who is teaching an 11-year-old how to cuss. Oh man, it seems like I have to take upon the duty to teach my big brother some manners.' Alex thought as a punch came from the left side.
Because of the close distance, Sylvie and Tina couldn't even react quickly.
And Alex with {Evil Mastermind} was quickly able to react as seeing that he immediately tilted his to right quickly after he dodging the punch—Alex was expressionless like a doll, even after seeing the incoming attack—a side effect of his {Evil Mastermind} ability.
After dodging the punch—Alex quickly made a leg moment to which Andrew fell to the ground like a watermelon.
Looking at Andrew, who is slowly getting up on his feet with tear-filled eyes.
*Sob*Sob* "I will definitely get it next time." Andrew shouted while he ran away like a rabbit.
Theoretically speaking, it is not possible for Alex, who is yet to make a foundation to beat Andrew, who already made a foundation a year ago.
The only reason why Alex was able to quickly dodge the punch and make a counter was because of a lack of experience on Andrew's side.
And because of {Evil Mastermind} on Alex's side.
After solving the 'problem' on Andrew's part, Alex turned to his other two siblings.
