Teaching Time
“Ei! Yah!”
The green haired boy was enthusiastically swinging a wooden sword around. While watching him, I called out.
“That’s it! Don’t forget that stance. When you get tired, take that stance as you rest.”
“Yes!”
This boy… I’m teaching Marquis Victaire’s son, Masque Victaire, but he responded in a voice that fully trusts me.
Today, I came to Marquis Victaire’s estate. The purpose is to teach swordsmanship to the Marquis’ child, Masque. Well, I was the one who got myself into this, so even though it’s a little annoying, I faithfully came to teach him.
Also… even though I impulsively offered to teach him in a fit of rage, teaching someone else swordplay is no easy task. I know what needs to be taught, but just how much practice is good for a child who’s still growing? After thinking about it for a while, I decided to start by training his form. My reasoning behind it is that a solid foundation is a shortcut to learning everything else, but is it really best to let him continue practicing like this?
Since it’s easy to train your body after learning the basics, I wanted to start his training without overdoing it. I decided on my policy using such a reasoning.
“Master…”
“Hmm? What is it?”
During a short break, Masque called out to me. Incidentally, he calls me “Master” because when we started, I half-joked “Call me Master!” and he happily went along with it. There’s no particularly deep meaning behind it, but I think “Master” sounds more appropriate than “Teacher” for teaching swordplay. By the same logic, I call Masque by his first name. Since he’s my student, I felt “-kun” and “-san” didn’t give off quite the right feeling. Well, although it may not be strictly proper, since there aren’t any other nobles here, I shouldn’t receive any questions about what I call him.
“Will I ever be as good as Master?”
“That depends on your effort.”
“My effort…”
“That’s right. If you want to be strong, you need to do your best. Masque, do you have something important to you?”
To my question, Masque shook his head.
“… I don’t know.”
“I see. Then, do you have anyone you’re on good terms with?”
