Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

Two years passed as if there were mere moments – Mizoe completed the training in the Perserios territory and returned to the Tallaran territory as an official knight, while Zoemi stayed behind in the Tencelion territory training every day with Paluous and Geroizen...

Or rather, Paul and George as their names should be pronounced.

"HMPH!" *RUMBLE*

The black-haired boy scoffed and stomped his foot, breaking the ground apart and causing two brownish-black-haired boys to lose balance.

*WHAM*

Just as that happened, another black-haired boy grabbed the hands of the brownish-black-haired boys, slamming them together and causing one of them to dissipate into the spiritual energy, ending the sparing that lasted for over an hour.

"Guh...!"

The remaining brownish-black-haired boy let out a pained groan and fell to his knees.

"Come on George. I have seen your talent in the law of Gemini, don't stop just on two clones!"

"Not to mention, your law of Taurus and law of Aries also suffer quite a bit from your body being split, we need to work on that."

Both black-haired boys stood over the fallen one and spoke with concern.

"Th-that's how it's supposed to be until you break through the conventional star levels though! Your law of Gemini is just weird, Zoemi!"

George wiped out the tears that gathered in the corners of his eyes and declared grumpily while leaning back and sitting heavily on the ground.

"That's because it's not just the law of Gemini, but the law of Pisces and the law of Libra. The synergy is amazing."

"!!!"

The two black-haired boys looked at each other and smirked before both of them disappeared into spiritual energy and a third one approached the brownish-black-haired boy from behind, causing him to jump in shock.

"Huh?! Wait...! So I wasn't even fighting the real you?!"

George turned around without standing up and supported his torso with both hands.

"Son, you need to pay more attention to your surroundings. The real Zoemi and his familiar were training with me."

"Dad?!"

The brownish-black-haired boy couldn't even catch a break from the surprises because his father, Paul Tencelion, approached him too and pointed out while being followed by a big wolf wagging its tail like a housedog.

"...I'm doing my best..."

George murmured under his breath, clenching his fists.

"I know. You are born under the Gemini constellation and, honestly, I would not be surprised if you were actually a beloved child of Gemini. That's why I can't go easy on you. Your potential is just too good."

"...wh-wha...!?"

Zoemi nodded and patted his shoulder before helping him stand up – which caused the older boy to let out a shocked gasp and blush from the unexpected praise.

"Hmm-hmm! Of course! George is my pride!"

"~!"

Paul raised his head up high and boasted, which caused his son to fidget and blush even more, unable to hide how happy it made him.

"But there's something I need to complain about, George... you are still holding back, aren't you?"

"...!"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Zoemi suddenly made a serious expression and looked George in the eyes, making the older boy flinch and tense up, while his father furrowed his brows and inquired.

"George can actually use mana."

"WHAT?!"

The black-haired boy announced, causing Paul to shout in disbelief.

"George, is that true?!"

The light-brown-haired man gasped, dropping to one knee and grabbing his son's shoulders.

"W-well... it's not exactly as he said though, dad... I don't have an attribute like mom, but I can use the law of Gemini to copy and use a spell... law of Gemini..."

*WHOOOO*

George fidgeted nervously and raised his hand before chanting the name of the star power and having a blazing fireball ignite above his palm.

"This...! This is amazing! Incredible! How did you even... wait... a fireball...?"

Paul gasped in awe, staring at the crackling flames that did not go out no matter what, but then he furrowed his brows and questioned.

"Paluous, you didn't think I would not train with our little boy?"

"Ah...! Fountrein...!"

A window of the summer house opened ajar and a pastel-red-haired woman leaned outside and snickered at the light-brown-haired man.

"He can't copy more advanced spells, but we will get there~!"

Fountrein snickered, reaching out her hand and using a spell without casting it out loud.

*hiiiiisssssss*

A string of flaming rope coiled around her wrist like a snake and stayed there without harming her pale skin.

"Lady Tencelion! Your creativity never ceases to amaze me!"

Zoemi gasped and was the first one to move by the window to gaze upon the curious spell.

"It's because I don't have much mana, I need to be creative – especially now that I don't have an excuse for being of fragile health~!"

The pastel-red-haired woman snickered, showing off her teeth in a lovely smile.

"Wait...! Then, you really were holding back during training, George! Why?!"

That said, Paul turned right around and asked his son who shook his hand causing the fireball to dissipate into thin air.

"That's because..."

George gulped down his saliva and sulked a bit before answering.

Even so, the other three waited patiently for him to give them a proper answer.

"Wounds caused by mana don't really heal well on Zoemi... what... what if I would hurt him?"

The brownish-black-haired boy ended up revealing before turning around to hide his face.

"...ah...! That's true... And not just for Zoemi but me and other marital artists too.... wounds caused by fire magic are notoriously difficult to heal with the law of Virgo... If your finger or ear got blown off, that's it. At least with water, earth, and wind magic you can use the law of Aquarius to get rid of mana and then heal it slowly over time, but something about fire magic messes it all up."

Paul blinked a few times before nodding and even turning to Zoemi to give him a more detailed explanation.

"I understand, still, my law of Aries should already be strong enough to protect me from a fireball. As long as you will not try to ambush me when we aren't training, it will be completely fine to use it! Not to mention, it would be best for you to get used to using that ability in combat!"

Zoemi nodded, acknowledging the good will of both Tencelions, but he also was aware of the progress that he made during those two years he spent in their territory.
