Between The Strongest and The Weakest Family
Chapter 38: A Lonely Son

In the morning in the Phantom city of Harlow....

Tap...

“ha... ha... ha.

Reinherz was running in the morning around the city of Phantom Harlow, the atmosphere in the city was a bit dark because the sun had not yet fully risen, Reinherz doing this activity because it had become commonplace.

Initially after Baron Raven left Reinherz felt a little relieved, but because he was used to getting up early, Reinherz felt something was lacking when he woke up early, although he was eager to sleep but unable to sleep, and finally because Reinherz was bored and also upset, Reinherz decided to run around the mansion, relaxing, in the end, morning running became a routine for Reinherz.

Reinherz ran not alone but with his father's Direwolf, initially Reinherz saw Direwolf alone and lonely, Reinherz who felt a little pity to invite his father's Direwolf, Reinherz, and Reinherz named the Direwolf Goofy.

Not only the two of them, Reinherz accompanied his personal bodyguard Elron to take care of him in case something unexpected happened.

After running for a long time, Reinherz decided to stop at a land with grass that was quite lush and green, Reinherz also fell asleep on the land.

“ha... ha.. ha..., I think I've had enough running for this morning” says Reinherz with heavy breathing.

woof...

Reinherz, who saw Goofy barking, thinks Goofy still wants to play again.

“ahaaha...., you still want to play Goofy?, play there but don't go far”

Wooff....

Goofy then went to play around Reinherz's resting place, Elron standing beside Reinherz, Elron giving a water bag filled with drinking water to Reinherz.

“ah.. thanks Elron” said Reinherz while taking a water bag.

Glup...

Reinherz drank the water greedily.

“puuuaahhhh..., ah freshness” says Reinherz.

“do you need another one?” say Elron.

“i'm not in need of anything else, I just want to take a break while sleeping

“good lord Reinherz” says Elron with a smile.

Reinherz looked up at the dark blue sky, how many weeks had Reinherz not heard from his father, Reinherz kangen with his father, although on the other hand his father was irritating and hard in educating him, it feels very lonely if there is no father beside him.

“Elron do you know where dad is now?” ask Reinherz.

“Lord Raven is in the diplomatic business of the lord, but in the near future your father will soon come home” says Elron.

“doesn't Uncle Zeke have gone home?, why haven't you come home yet?”

“i told you, Lord Raven is in a diplomatic business, so please be patient if you want to meet Lord Raven”

“aahhh... alright”

“ada you want to ask again?”

“no...”.

After Reinherz chatted with Elron, not feeling the sky had started to light up a little, the time that showed Reinherz had to go to the mansion, Reinherz then woke up from sleeping, then Reinherz called Goofy to go home immediately.

“Goofy..., hurry up time to go home”.

Wooff...

Goofy then ran over to Reinherz, the three of them going to the mansion of the Itzbal family.

Reinherz continued to do his running practice even though he came home, Reinherz did not walk and wanted to train his body again, hoping that when his father came Reinherz could give the progress he had achieved when his father left.

Taappp...

Reinherz ran towards the mansion, the distance he was with the mansion was getting closer, when it had started to get a bit closer to the mansion, Reinherz heard quite noisy voices in the morning.

Clang..

Brake....

Duaarr...

Reinherz The sound of swords clashing, wood being beaten, the sound of explosions and even the sound of people being slammed is clear, the sound comes from the land with several wooden houses near the Mansion owned by his family,The area is surrounded by trees that cover the edge of the road, the land when viewed from the outside is just like an ordinary village outside the fortress of Phantom Harlow city, the area is the headquarters of Night Hawk.

the grounds are a residence, basecamp, and training ground for the Night Hawk members, they are special units under the direct control of Baron Raven, the, Baron Raven always checked the Night Hawk units periodically, and Baron Raven trained them directly, if there was no Baron Raven, Baron Raven would appoint the best man as coach.

“as usual there always noisy” say Reinherz.

“please excuse him, because they always work in the morning Mr. Reinherz” says Elron with a smile.

Reinherz did not know it was the Night Hawk headquarters, and Reinherz saw that it was just an ordinary village, and sometimes Reinherz saw people coming out of the village, looking like ordinary people.

“ah well..” says Reinherz while running.

Reinherz continued to run, before long they reached the family mansion.

From a distance Reinherz saw his mother standing at the front door as if waiting for someone, Reinherz thought his mother was waiting for him, but rarely did his mother do that even as long as he ran off in the morning.

“it's rare for mom to wait for me to come in front of the door” says Reinherz.

“Huh...?!, basic.. who says mom is waiting for you” says Lady Lizbeth

Reinherz, who saw his mother's reaction like that, meant that her mother was waiting for someone, but no one came directly to the mansion, when guests arrived they had to wait in the administration building, and Reinherz was a little curious about whose mother was waiting for him.

“Then what are you doing?, I rarely see you standing in front of the door?” tell Reinherz with his hers.

“*haaa...*\, I feel your father has come” say Lady Lizbeth.

“Huh..?!, where...?, I didn't see my dad all the time when I ran, even Elron didn't tell me that dad was coming” said Reinherz while looking around.

soon as Reinherz and Lady Lizbeth spoke, someone put their hands on Reinherz's head, Reinherz thought it was Elron, but it was impossible because Elron had never done anything like this, then there was a voice familiar to Reinherz.

“Yo..., it looks like you're okay” said the voice.

Reinherz was shocked to hear that voice, it was the voice of his father Baron Raven.

“aarrrgghhhh... shit... dad shocked me!” tell Reinherz who's upset.

“Ahahahaha...., you have to be smart to detect the presence of people” said Baron Raven.

“*haaa...*\, as always your [Stealth] skill is very difficult to detect” says Lady Lizbeth.

“hehehe...., that was me, and I came secretly to surprise Reinherz” saying Baron Raven while stroking Reinherz's head.

“aarrrrrgghhhh... remove father's hand from my head” says Reinherz while trying to get Baron Raven's hand off his head.

“basar..., are you not happy that your father came” said Baron Raven.

Elron just looked at it and said nothing, before long Baron Raven looked at Elron and greeted him.

“oohh... Elron how are you?” ask Baron Raven.

“I'm fine Lord” replied Elron.

“good then..., now you rest first, let me take care of Reinherz with my wife, because there's something I want to do” says Baron Raven.

“Any Lord” says Elron.

Elron without further ado instantly left quickly and disappeared.

“are you guys done talking?, let's go in” say Lady Lizbeth.

“Good..” say Baron Raven and Reinherz simultaneously.

Then Baron Raven, Lady Lizbeth and Reinherz entered together into the mansion.

The three of them walked together, Lady Lizbeth holding Reinherz's hand like a mother looking after her child, while Baron Raven walked as usual, the three of them headed to a suitable place to talk, the Magic training ground.

After arriving at the Magic training room, Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth sat down while Reinherz stood up, then Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth stared at Reinherz.

“So how do you exercise?” ask Baron Raven.

“just ask mom” says Reinherz.

Baron Raven then looked at Lady Lizbeth, but Lady Lizbeth gazed back at Baron Raven, Lady Lizbeth giving the code to Baron Raven to see with her own eyes.

“*haa..* alright\, Reinherz do use skill [Fireball] as usual” says Baron Raven.

“good father.”

Reinherz opened his arms wide and extended his hand.

“[Fireball”

Whhoooss......

“continue to do as you did training with mom” says Baron Raven.

“Alright I'll be doing”

Reinherz then did the exercises he used to do with his mother, making his fire form small - medium – is large and keeps repeating, over and over, then secretly Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth saw the flow of Reinherz.

“[Mana Essence]” whispered Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth

Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth saw that the flow of Mana Reinherz had improved, although not too smoothly, but for children of Reinherz's age it could be a good thing.

“enough” says Baron Raven..

Wwwhhhooosh....

“hhhuuuuu.

Baron Raven without saying anything immediately stood up and stroked Reinherz's head.

“you've got progress” said Baron Raven.

“Bernarkah..? all this thanks to mom” saying Reinherz.

“hehehehe...., trust your great mother this” says Lady Lizbeth with pride.

“ya will but dad did not say you're done” said Baron Raven.

“Huh....?!”

“from today you will undergo real training, heheheh..” says Baron Raven with a wicked smile.

Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth planned to increase Reinherz's training load, but Reinherz, who knew the meaning of his parents' expressions, entered the abyss.

“SSSIIIIAAALLLLL” screams Reinherz in heart.

Then Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth trained Reinherz very closely, all this to reach the target for the next phase of training.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time had passed long enough, the Reinherz practice given by Baron Raven and Lady Lizbeth was fruitful.

6 months later.....
