"Now, let's continue running. I will tell you how I will get the tickets as we run." Theo laughed as he started running again.
Aurora immediately followed him with shining eyes.
She wanted to know why her brother demanded so much secrecy about this matter.
"You know Sylph, right?" Theo started.
"Of course! She is amazing!" Aurora replied in wondering excitement.
Theo and Aurora had been living in the Pedrarruna Manor for a little more than three weeks.
And during this time Aurora had been stunned by Sylph's work.
The house was clean all the time, and Aurora could not even see when the house was cleaned.
But that was because Sylph chose to clean the house when Theo and Aurora were busy.
So, neither of them was able to catch a drone cleaning the house.
And their kitten, Mayia, was the happiest kitten alive.
Every day when Aurora arrived from school, Mayia would come to lay on her lap.
And Aurora did not even have to feed, change the water, clean the litter box, and so on because Sylph took care of that too.
Aurora only had to admire the cuteness of her cat and not worry about other things.
There were several other things that Sylph did every day that Aurora was stunned when she first saw it.
But after a while, she got used to it, but that did mean that Aurora was less excited about Sylph's work.
So, it was normal for her to be excited when Theo mentioned Sylph.
"Well, Sylph is also a talented hacker. So, I will just order her to hack into the concert's network to get us the tickets. Even though it will be hard, Sylph can do the job." Theo explained directly as he exhaled hot air and formed a white cloud in front of him.
"What?" Aurora asked in shock.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yeah, that's why I told you to not tell anyone." Theo added as he ran at a moderate pace.
"Oh, now I understand!" Aurora exclaimed as she made a face that showed her understanding.
'It seems that Big Brother doesn't want to use this function that Sylph has. He even said that Sylph will have trouble doing it. And he must be worried about Sylph getting caught. That's probably the reason he wanted to keep a secret.' Aurora reasoned inside her head.
But she would never imagine that Theo severally downgraded Sylph's hacking skills.
What would her face be if she knew that Sylph's skills could fight against the cyber walls of entire countries?
Sylph was capable of hacking almost anywhere.
There were only some places she could not because hacking skills were not the only thing needed to access them.
If Theo was an evil person, he could deal a lot of damage.
But Theo promised himself to never use Sylph's skills for anything bad.
He would only use her skills to protect himself and his sister from people looking for their information.
With Sylph's skills, the cyber defenses on Theo and Aurora were as great as a country had on its secrets.
He knew that bad people existed everywhere, and he also knew that with his increasing fame, the people who eyed him with bad intentions would increase.
So, the first thing did was secure his and Aurora's safety.
That's why he had a house with such an overbearing security system, that's why he had country-level cyber security in their electronic devices.
Everything was done to make sure that Theo and Aurora could live a happy life without any accidents and attacks.
He just wanted to realize his dreams and be happy with his family.
He did not have any egoistical plan of world dominance.
Theo wanted to be happy.
That's why he did not tell Aurora about Sylph's capabilities.
He knew that the information would be too much for her young mind, and the last thing he wanted was to worry and her influence negatively on her life.
He wanted her to grow up happy and free of any worries.
"I understand, brother!" Aurora said with a sweet voice as she ran alongside him.
"That's my girl!" Theo laughed.
The siblings ran a few more laps before they entered the house to escape the freezing wind.
Now, they would move to the second part of their morning workout.
Martial Arts Practice.
They stood opposite each other on the tatami.
The tatami was where we transformed years of pain into moments of immense suffering as if we were beating that torment from one another's bones.
That morning Theo would teach exclusively Jiu-Jitsu to Aurora.
Some people may argue that teaching this style to Aurora was the wrong move.
Why would he teach her something that she needed contact with the enemy to apply the techniques?
But the first thing that Theo taught Aurora in self-defense was that if someone wanted to attack her, the first thing she needed to do was run.
"Cupcake, no matter how confident you are in your martial arts, if someone attacks you, run! Run without looking back! Your safety is more important than showing off your might." He said at their first lesson.
And that was something that Aurora printed deep in her mind.
But Theo knew that the world was not perfect, there were sometimes that Aurora would not be able to run.
These times Aurora had to know to defend herself.
And there was always a possibility of Aurora being taken by surprise and the attacker got hold of her arm, head, or body.
What if that happened?
If she didn't know Jiu-Jitsu how could she defend herself?
That was what Theo would say to the people who questioned Aurora learning Jiu-Jitsu.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTheo knew that this martial art was perfect for women to defend themselves as he still remembered reading news in past life about women proficient in Jiu-Jitsu subjugating their attackers.
In a traditional Jiu-Jitsu practice, Theo and Aurora would have to wear kimonos.
But because Theo wanted to simulate real life, he discarded the vestments.
But Theo followed all the other traditions.
They bowed to each other, and they learned a lot of new ways to throw each other on the floor, breaking falls each time.
It was rough, but it was fun.
It was the sort of thing that brought on adrenaline but gave people the support and role modeling on how to control that fear.
They learned how to keep the brain switched on properly even when danger was sensed.
It was a sort of training in calm response and mature thoughts.
Theo already had this mentality, but he wanted to imprint the same behavior into Aurora.
In a way, it was a kind of physical philosophy, one that allowed wisdom to be taught another way.
Aurora wanted to become like her sensei, to have that self-control, self-discipline, and self-confidence.
Because even though Theo was her brother, on the tatami she treated him as her sensei.
He taught so many things to her, that she willingly called sensei when they were training.
She wanted to show him the deep respect she had for him as her teacher and sensei.
For Aurora jiu-jitsu was so much more than self-defense in the basic literal sense, it's more of a defense of the sense of self in the context of group cooperation.
It bonded Aurora and her brother even deeper than they already were.
It taught her more about their humanity.
To understand the feeling that Theo and Aurora shared when they trained, people would have to try a martial art to feel that or really get it fully.
When they trained and fought together, they loved each other, they just do.
The siblings at that moment was just a pair of sensei and student searching for ways to deepen their knowledge in martial arts.
"SENSEI!" Aurora shouted as she bowed her head.
"Osh!" Theo nodded and started their training.
