Killer Whale Baby

“What does it matter if you die in a life you live only once?”

Calipso didn’t know.

“Uncle, people eventually die one way or another.”

The fact that her own eyes were gleaming with madness.

Surprisingly, it was successful in capturing Pierre’s interest.

Even considering the fact that she was the direct descendant of the most powerful underwater being, the killer whale, she was an exceptional child with a remarkable appearance.

However, despite having the appearance of an adorable child, she was no different from the fearless warriors who were unaffected by death.

‘I wonder how children are raised these days to have such a taste?’

Ironically, Calipso herself did not intend for Pierre to become the topic of conversation.

But humans rarely achieve perfect self-objectification.

“I don’t know what the correlation is between basic educational institutions and learning the power of water.”

“Why wouldn’t there be? If you want to be the best, that power is essential. Are you stupid, uncle?”

“….”

“Well, you might not know. So don’t glare at me.”

Calipso quickly rolled her eyes.

It was because he could feel the pressure from the power of water, even if only for a moment.

“And if I can’t become the best, Dad will be disappointed.”

Pierre was curious.

Why was she telling such obvious lies even though she knew he was her father?

I have no interest in you whatsoever.

“Help me, uncle. Huh? Dad loves me very much. He definitely wants me to become a strong and powerful killer whale.”

“….”

“my dad… oh!”

He wondered how this contradictory and inconsistent statement would end.

Just like the words of his subordinate that Calipso reported, Pierre had no aversion to teaching someone.

However, there was a condition that the person must be someone who can truly captivate his interest, which was very rare.

Calipso’s eyes widened.

“Water!”

Water was flowing around him.

Pierre was levitating himself with the power of water!

“The one who inflicts wounds and leaves their own wounds untouched is the one who won’t spare the one who harmed them.”

“…Huh?”

“Do you really think someone who doesn’t offer any help while hoping for you to become stronger truly loves you?”

“….”

The child’s deep blue pupils stared intensely at Pierre.

Soon, the child smiled beautifully.

“Well then. Dad loves me a lot. To me, Dad is the best.”

Pierre was curious.

How would this lie end?

“You can decide the time on your own. Let me tell you in advance, I won’t consider your age. Whether you’re younger or older, it wouldn’t matter.”

“…!”

“Come here at the same time every day.”

“…!!”

For the first time, a genuine smile crossed Calipso’s eyes.

“Alright, then what should I call you? uncle? Should I call you Master?”

“Whatever you like.”

“Then, Master!”

Calipso, floating gently, eagerly opened his bag.

His tiny hands took out something diligently.

“Ah!”

What floated up into the air, out of Calipso’s hands, was none other than candy.

And not just any candy, but plankton-flavored candy.

“This is really delicious, I’ve been hiding it. I treasure it, but I’ll give it to you, sir.”

Feeling Pierre’s gaze fixed on him, Calipso spoke excitedly.

“It’s a bribe. Master!”

Calipso confidently believed that this would be a step forward without regrets.

* * *

‘…I regret it!’

Five days later, Calipso deeply regretted it.

Deeply regretted!

‘This is a disaster. I never thought he would be so clueless…!’

To be precise, Pierre kept his word.

He had indeed started teaching Calipso the power of water.

The problem was that the method of teaching that power was far from ordinary.

‘Wow, it’s obvious. There’s no doubt that my age is not in Dad’s head.’

Calipso had previously awakened the power of water with the help of a treasure in her past life.

However, awakening the power of water was not the end; it required a method of handling it.

Fortunately, after awakening, Calipso met a mentor who taught her how to control her power.

According to what she heard from the mentor, even a whale who failed to awaken the power of water had a higher chance of awakening if exposed to the power of water continuously.

Although it was purely theoretical, considering that the mentor was a descendant of a whale who had awakened the power a few generations ago, it was not entirely incorrect.

The problem was that Calipso only knew about this method in theory; she had never experienced it. And Pierre applied this in practice.

“First, let’s expose you to the power of water.”

“Huh?”

“Dive.”

“Uh…?”

“Dive.”

Pierre abruptly filled the broken fountain with water.

Since it was water filled with the power of water, it was no different from special water, and here they were, diving into it in their physical forms. Moreover…

“There are also cases where awakening occurs under the threat of life.”

“Huh?”

“Dive until you’re about to drown.”

“Uh…?”

Pierre was a whale too, so Calipso thought he wouldn’t be an ordinary human…

He was a person who strictly kept his word.

“Or perhaps, would it be better to expose you to pressure like last time? There are many options.”

“…Is there another choice?”

Having heard all the options, Calipso… .chose to dive that day.

This was Calipso’s first trial in the past five days.

In addition to this, Calipso had one more thing to do.

“There are various ways to apply the power of water. First, using fear, threatening weaker peers or prey.”

“Is that what you use when you keep scolding me, Master?”

“…”

“You don’t have to demonstrate it physically like this.”

“It seems you’re the type to learn through experience.”

“…”

Surprisingly, Pierre had decent qualities as a mentor.

“Secondly, materializing water. It’s like filling this fountain with water. It also includes levitating people with water streams in the air. Thirdly, enabling underwater creatures to use their powers as if they were in water. It’s a supportive ability like a kind of buff.”

This was still on the theoretical side.

“And fourthly, strengthening the body with the power of water.”

“Got it!”

“Really? Then start running.”

“Huh…?”

“Start running.”

“….”

Pierre directly manipulated the surroundings of the fountain with his power, creating an open space.

And he made Calipso run. It was said that the probability of awakening increases when using physical abilities in places where the power of water is scattered around.

It seemed that the fact that Calipso was barely 30 months old, not even two and a half years, was completely disregarded.

Calipso didn’t know, but he had his own reasons for enduring it with a mind that was far from childish, thinking, “Yeah, if they’re going to do it, they should do it properly.”

It was truly the result of a fantastic combination of a father who didn’t understand children and a regressed daughter who forgot her childlike nature.

“Ouch… My muscles ache.”

Thanks to that, Calipso started experiencing muscle soreness from the age of three or four, which he had never experienced before.

“Are you perhaps an amoeba?”

“What?”

“No, even an amoeba would react to this level of stimulation. Your talent for awakening the power of water is worse than that of an amoeba.”

“Master, just because you hit me with words doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. Got it?”

Since the difference was only five days, the result was minimal.

Even though Pierre looked at Calipso with eyes that said, “How can there be a talentless whale like this…,” just from those five days.

From the beginning, Pierre had confirmed that Calipso had a non-zero probability of awakening.

‘It’s fortunate. If there was truly no potential, I would have told you. Like in previous regressions…’

Pierre and other exceptional whales were able to recognize when a child in front of them could not awaken the power of water.

That was truly fortunate.

It wasn’t as if she gained nothing.

‘I could feel something slightly moving inside my body.’

Realizing it while running, Calipso discovered that she ran better than an ordinary three-year-old whale.

She hypothesized that maybe she had unknowingly utilized the power of water in her stamina.

If it could be applied to stamina, could it be applied to strength as well?

So, just in case, she threw a rock…

‘My hand hurt, but there was a result, right?’

Surprisingly, there was a small change.

Of course, compared to his genius older brothers, it was still inadequate, and it was ambiguous whether it could be called awakening.

It could be said that he had awakened since he could materialize water.

‘Bravo, fourth regression! The chicken is right in front of you this time!’”

‘

Yes, that was good. Very good…

‘But what if I die from overexertion?’

Surely, in this life, she planned to protect Pierre somehow until she was around 10 years old and then negotiate with the Dragon’s Bride or something and return home.

“Is the princess ready?”

When I looked up, there was a familiar-looking attendant.

It was the servant who took Calipso to the family head.

Unlike the day he took Calipso with force, he bowed very respectfully.

“I will guide you to the elementary education institution.”
