Chapter 39 - Ranked up

The servants simply placed the various prepared dishes and stepped back. The two young masters were very self-sufficient, they were also quite generous. The servants knew the young miss was different but they after knowing she was highly valued and will probably be the next mistress they had become respectful. Upon realising that the young miss also helped them level up, they even adored her becoming extremely loyal.

One must know that levelling leads to ranking up which leads to an extension of their lifespan.

Who did not wish to live another ten years? No one right, so this young miss they respected and secretly promised to be only loyal to.

The other two masters they would respect but loyalty would be solely to the little bundle.

The five side servants watched with hands clasped in front of them, their gazes glued to the small girl, who now looked different.

It was a bit uncomfortable to see such a different young mistress in looks, but they were all disciplined enough not to betray their own thoughts.

Thinking is one thing, but displaying one thought is simply foolish and proof of disloyalty.

The servants scanned the surrounding while the high ranking three close servants continued to vigilantly stare at their young miss.

The two slightly older servants saw this little girl as someone to be protected. They loved her to the extent that sacrificing themselves upon her command would be immediate without second thoughts. The young master. They glanced at silently, feeling smug that they will have her all to themselves upon his departure, but also turned to eye the younger servant with the surname Quai.

This little girl is greedy, and for now, is the closest servant. They felt dissatisfied by this, but their rank is simply inferior.

The servant surname Quai has many strange tendencies. At one point they had thought that this servant held dark thoughts to their young miss and thought to eliminate her, but noticed she was simply smitten.

This, too, did not calm their flustered nerves, but what can they do but to silently watch this young servant girl and hope she did not inadvertently harm their young miss.

While the two watched, the guards also watched from a distance, scanning the surroundings constantly.

They too treated their master well. She had also focused on raising their ranks especially those who guarded the entrances even bringing up several suggestions.

The head guard, is a young male of only one hundred years, he has yet to marry because his job and rank were all too low, serving the Kai family who fell out of favour and is no longer part of the ranked families he had held no hope for finding a wife.

Serving as a guard even as ahead also means he could die any time. Which woman wanted a husband that would make her constantly worry?

He had given up hope by then but still faithfully did his duty, guarding a dilapidated courtyard.

Until the Kai old madam returned, informing him he must protect a little girl.

For an entire year, he guarded secretly, growing closer to the little bundle, seeing all the miraculous things she had done even contributing to raising his rank two times!

Adding twenty years into his life and in extent healing hidden injuries and enhancing his form.

The head guard was handsome, but just that before but he had aged after suffering countless injuries looking double his age, making him slow to react sometimes.

But now he stood at 2.3 meters instead of the previous 1.9 meters.

His muscles were also developed but not bulky stretched and well defined, with his pectorals and legs being the only slightly bulky and his broad shoulders.

He had never been vain before, but now, looking at his change, the head guard could not help but to admire his form and face with a smile.

Suddenly he had suitors, but he thought to himself, there is really no need to marry, just serve the master who gave him a reason to live once again.

The only issue is that this young master seems to be a bit too close to the young miss no?

Au Fuji had no idea that many servants had found him displeasing to the eye. Instead, he sat close to his little breeze and continued to feed her, pouting her tea and whispering a few trivial things while she spoke.

He could listen to her speak for hours on end without growing tired. He really had no desire to leave her side.

"Big brother, make sure to drink it before arriving at the school. In fact, drink it now."

Au Fuji complied and drank the slightly sweet liquid, immediately after he felt his power fluctuate followed by a pop in his head.

Au Fuji stumbled, then sat down, suddenly feeling as if his entire body were on fire.

What is this?

He saw little breeze frown before she made a small gesture and a white cloth appeared in her hand.

Soon he felt something cool in his forehead and he passed out.

-

When next Au Fuji opened his eyes, he released a low groan. His voice seemed different. He opened his eyes and lifted his hand to his face and looked at it. As expected, he had changed again but this time he only need to think and his body would change and look his age.

"Wow, big brother you are amazing!"

Au Fuji turned his head to a side and looked at the pale girl with the straight inky black hair to his right.

This time he did not sneer, just simply smiled at her.

"My breakthrough was successful. But I had no idea that breakthroughs at this age can be done."

"En, big brother, you seem to have a triple ability, so this is normal. You seem to rank up only five times, but in reality, you seemed to have ranked up twenty times, which led to your breakthrough. You are no longer a white rank but an ash pale grey."

Au Fuji felt pretty surprised. He had heard of ranking up like this due to abilities, but he never knew it was true. The small girl in front of him pursed his lips while staring off into the distance.
