The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

As soon as Jenny and Colin opened the door, their brother Barrick ran over.

"Sister, you're back. Hey, who are you?" Barrick looked at Colin warily.

Colin looked at the little half-orc boy in front of him, who looked like a crazy protector of his sister, and found it a little funny.

"Barrick, don't be rude. He is a guest of our home and he saved my sister once on the way."

"Oh, hello, brother, welcome to our home." Barrick touched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Haha, ok, hello, Barrick." Colin patted Barrick on the shoulder and said.

"I'm going to prepare dinner. Uh, you sit with Barrick for a while." Jenny didn't know what to call Colin.

"My name is Colin. Go ahead and do your work. I'll chat with Barrick for a while," said Colin.

"Brother Colin, tell me, how did you save my sister?" Barrick was not shy and asked Colin while pulling him aside.

"Well, it's nothing. There were just a few pig-headed people harassing your sister. I happened to be passing by, so I beat them up."

"Pig-headed people? Those must be those guys from Shiro. I will definitely deal with them when I grow up. They have been harassing my sister for a long time, but I have never been able to beat them." Barrick said viciously.

"Haha, good, you have ambition."

"By the way, Brother Colin, where are you from?"

"Well, I came from a very far place, and I just happened to travel to Steel Mane City, and it was just a coincidence that I met your sister."

"Oh, then you must be a mighty warrior?"

"It's not that powerful, just a little stronger than the average person."

"...Well, can you teach me a few moves? I want to become strong so that I can protect my sister."

"Uh..." Jenny came out before Colin could finish his words.

"Barrick, don't bother your brother Colin. He might be busy with something else and wouldn't have the time to teach you."

"Well, it's not impossible to teach Barrick. I don't have anything to do at the moment, but I haven't found a place to live yet." Colin said with pretended hesitation.

"That's great. Brother Colin, if you have no place to live, you can live in our house. We have a spare room." Barrick said happily, holding Colin's hand.

"Barrick, maybe Brother Colin doesn't want to live in our house." Although Jenny was grateful for Colin's help, she was still very wary of strangers and was not very willing to let Colin stay.

"Well, I'll look for a place to live when I'm done, but I'll have no problem teaching Barrick as promised." Colin said, taking a step back.

"Sister, please agree to let Brother Colin stay here. Wouldn't that be convenient?" Barrick turned around and shook Jenny's arm.

Jenny hesitated, looking from Barrick to Colin.

In fact, Jenny also wanted Barrick to have a good teacher, but the family had no extra money. She only thought that when Barrick was older in two years, he would join the army. As long as they went south to plunder a few times, life at home would naturally be better.

"I can pay part of the rent. I'll have to pay for another place anyway," Colin said taking the opportunity.

"...Okay, then Brother Colin, you can stay here. As for the rent and stuff, don't mention it anymore. Not to mention that you saved me, but you also need money to teach Barrick." Jenny thought about it and finally agreed.

"No, that won't work. Let's put things one way and one thing at a time. You can't refuse rent just because you're grateful to me. I still have to pay for other people's houses. Keep this. Whether you want it or not, I'll leave." Colin said, pretending to be angry, after handing over a few copper coins.

Colin had killed some orcs he met on his way to Steelmane City, so he had no shortage of orc coins. However, it would not be appropriate to give a large amount of coins to Jenny. It would be just right to pay a few copper coins to offset the rent.

Seeing that the money was not much, Jenny did not refuse and took it.

At this point, Colin was able to live in Jenny's house smoothly.

……

Although the knight breathing method that Colin mastered was not the complete version, he was not going to teach it to Barrick. Moreover, there were differences in the body structure between orcs and humans. Even if he really wanted to teach it, he would probably have to improve a lot of the content.

Colin was too lazy to deal with all this, so he decided to use some of the physical exercise methods he learned from his previous life.

In the following days, Colin developed a series of "training" methods for Barrick, such as running, push-ups, sit-ups, etc. At first, Barrick was a little confused because he had never heard of this kind of body training method.

However, after a month, Barrick did feel that he was getting stronger, and he began to train harder without Colin's urging. In addition, Colin continued to buy some meat and nutritional supplements as food, and Barrick gradually became stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jenny saw the changes in Barrick's body and was happy in her heart. Colin's performance in the past month also won Jenny's recognition. Colin didn't look too old, so gradually Jenny had some other ideas.

Colin didn't feel the changes in Jenny deeply, but in daily contact, he felt that Jenny seemed to have become more natural, and she was very gentle when she spoke. She also often asked some inexplicable questions, such as whether she had started a family, whether she had ever thought about settling down in Steel Mane City, etc.

But what Colin was thinking about more was that by teaching Barrick his "apprentice" and sending him to the recruit camp, he could indirectly gain intelligence about the recruit camp and lay a solid foundation for future missions.

Two months later, Barrick had completely adapted to the training method taught by Colin. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't practice for a day. Especially one day he met Shiro's little brother and defeated him, which made Barrick very happy.

Barrick's physical training has been going on for three months. Colin thought it was time to teach him how to use weapons. He was quite good at using the broadsword, but very few orcs used swords. Instead, most of them used axes and hammers.

After thinking for a long time, out of some bad taste, Colin bought an iron rod for Barrick one day.

Although Colin was not good at using an iron stick and did not know any stick techniques, he knew all the techniques if he mastered one technique. Colin started by teaching Barrick how to hold the stick with one hand and then with both hands, and then taught him the basic techniques of chopping, swinging, poking, and lifting.

In actual practice, the moves are extended to include hanging, collapsing, pointing, sweeping, penetrating, blocking, picking, framing, supporting, clouding, lifting, and smashing, and even a spoof of a set of stick dance moves.

As the saying goes, a month of stick, a year of knife, a lifetime of gun, it doesn't take long to learn the basics of stick fighting, but Colin is not good at it. Fortunately, under the control of strong mental power, he did not make a fool of himself. After two months of trial and error, he finally taught Barrick the basics. From then on, it was up to him to practice on his own.

Looking at the little monkey (Barrick) practicing diligently in the courtyard, Colin felt like Patriarch Bodhi teaching his apprentice. He almost laughed out loud when he thought of this.
