Chapter 10 10 - Family Time
After finishing his workout and sword practice, he went to the bathroom for a nice bath.
Previously, when he used any of his upgrade techniques, his body felt quite pressured. He knows it's because of his low potential.
Previously he couldn't use D-grade techniques or c-grade techniques for very long, so he had to take a rest. So he always finished his hunting pretty fast. From then on he trained in Saitama's workout routine (which comprises 100 sit-ups, 100 pushups, 100 squats, and a 6.2-mile (10-km) run.)
But after upgrading his grade and also his potential, his body feels less pressure and also he can maintain C or D grade techniques far longer than previously.
After finishing his bath, he came to the hall room and sat on the sofa. He takes out some light food from his inventory, which he ordered some time ago, and starts eating.
He rested for the day because his parents and sister will come back home today and he was nervous about that. He wants to build his courage.
After finishing his food, he came to the balcony of his house. While sitting in a chair, he thinks about his parents.
For previous Sam, his parents were one of the best things god gifted him. In his childhood, due to forcefully trying to learn a higher technique, he received a backlash. From that moment, his dream to become a powerful warrior completely lost its meaning, but his parents always supported him, and never hated him for not being able to become a true warrior.
Our new Sam also respects them for being great parents. His father's name is Victor Kainer and his mother's name is Hina Storm.
His father is a master swordsman, and his mother is a master Archer.
And now he was thinking about his sister. She is the most talented person in the base city. Her potential and spirit were quite high from childhood. The brother-sister relationship between them was quite awkward.
She was always busy with her training while he was busy dreaming.
His sister's name was Gloria Kainer, one of the genius spiritual warrior masters in ice magic.
So, yea, if he can act like the previous Sam, nothing bad will happen. Also, he wants them to know about his breakthrough, but he can't say it immediately about this. He should slowly reveal his potential upgrade.
While lost in his thoughts, a sudden question came to his mind, ' why don't my parents buy a bigger house?'.
After reviewing his memory, he found the answer. His dad once said this to him " Listen Sam, money means nothing in front of your dream. This house is the dream of your mother and mine. We both built this dream house when we didn't even have that much money. We didn't lose hope and with our hard work, we could make our dream house. Now we have money from before, that doesn't mean we leave our dream house for a bigger house. "
Sam was then only 8 years old. He didn't understand this, but now he understands those lines. ' Money can't buy a dream. Be able to dream about your goal, then you can succeed.'
" Hahaha... Dad, now I understand your words. " Sam smiled and said while looking toward the sky.
He was again lost in his thoughts about the future. He felt sleepy and didn't even know when he was completely lost in his dream.
In the afternoon,
3 people (2 women and 1 man) Open Sam's house door with a key and enter.
The man is quite tall, muscular, with black hair and eyes. On his left side is a woman also the same tall as him, slender figure with silver long hair and eyes. On his right side is a girl. She also has a slender figure, silver hair in a ponytail style, and a pair of silver eyes.
The man is Sam's father, the woman on the left is his mother, and the girl on the right is his elder sister. They are back from their dungeon hunt.
" Sam, Sam, where are you? " Hina asked but didn't get any response.
" I think he will be in his regular place and lost in his dream," Victor said to Hina while they were walking toward the hall room.
Gloria also checked all the hall rooms but didn't find Sam. She looks pretty disappointed.
She did not sit in the room, and she directly went toward her room.
Sam and her rooms are on the 1st floor while her parents' rooms are on the ground floor.
As she walked, her eyes fell on the balcony and found Sam was sleeping while sitting in a chair.
She quickly looked to the right and left. After confirming no one here, she walks toward Sam. She came in front of his face and took his sleeping photo.
She once starts walking towards her room but with a radiant smile.
She loves her brother very much but didn't know how to express her love.
Before Sam's potential check, their relationship was quite good, but after the potential check, their relationship became like this.
Her attitude towards other people was freezing but toward her brother was very warm, but they didn't get to interact with each other that much. Because she is always busy in her cultivation or dungeon hunting with her team. She just hopes one day Sam will understand that she also loves him.
About three o'clock he woke up. After getting up from his seat, he started walking to the bathroom. He needs to fresh himself.
After coming out of the bathroom, he walks toward the kitchen. He needs to eat something. Now he didn't have food in his inventory. So, he needs to cook something for himself.
While he was walking toward the kitchen, he smelled something nice and he finally came to the dining room. He saw his mother in the kitchen and his father sitting in his chair and reading the newspaper.
" How are you darling?" Hina asked Sam when she saw him coming.
" Very good, mom," Sam answered with a cheerful smile.
" Son, has something good happened to you?" Victory asked Sam, seeing his cheerful smile.
" Yea dad, I will tell you about it later..... hihi," Sam answered in a mysterious tone.
Victor hears his son's mysterious tone.
" Ok boys, wait for a little, the food will be ready," Hina said to them and went back to cooking.
Sam sits down near his father and asks about their adventure in the dungeon. Sam heard because of his elder sister's breakthrough, this time his sister and parents went to a higher grade dungeon.
Victor slowly describes what type of monsters they faced, their abilities, and their weakness. But they completely lost against the boss monsters, when his sister's mysterious teacher saved them and easily killed the monster.
" O son, your sister's teacher will come to our home tomorrow. So, tomorrow don't be lazy." Victor said suddenly.
" Ok, Dad," Sam answered and started thinking about the dungeon's boss monsters. He's pretty sure the boss monster is higher than the C grade monster or his parents won't lose this battle.
Previously, he didn't meet any boss monsters, because the F-grade dungeon doesn't spawn a Boss monster. He is thinking about looking at the internet about the dungeons and monsters.
Because his warrior dream was scattered, previously he completely lost interest in the dungeons and monsters. He updates himself with knowledge about the dungeons.
While he was in his thoughts, Gloria came to the dining room and sat down near Sam.
" Hello sister, how are you?" He asked Gloria, finding her sitting near his seat.
" Good," Gloria answered, and went back to her silent mood.
The atmosphere between them was pretty awkward. Sam is a talkative person, but Gloria is a silent person. So, talking between them is always pretty awkward.
Gloria was always busy with her practice, so he didn't get that much chance to talk to her.
" Gloria darling, can you help me carry the dishes?" Hina said to Gloria. Gloria got up from her seat and went to the kitchen.
They came back with many dishes. Gloria helped Hina by putting the plates on. Hina served the food.
The full family started eating food. It's one of the joyful things that Sam didn't want to lose.
His mom asked him various questions, and he calmly answered them.
