Mikhail was looking from the window of the carriage at the tall and sturdy gates reaching more than 10meters in height as he thought:
'They sure like to show off '
The castle from the outside looked magnificent and mind blowing.
Mikhail couldn't really stop himself from feeling mesmerized and amazed every time he saw it.
Entering through the the wide gate,he noticed two man in a set of golden armour looking ferocious ,the air around them and the way they carry themselves revealed their statut as masters and experts in the field ,which was very rare in this world .
Actually these guys can have a very high statut in the outside world ,if they used their prowess in a smart way .
He didn't continue pondering as he diverted his gaze to the large garden in front of him ,the smell of petrichor filled the place as the plants looked fresh and alive.
Every parterre was set around a circular pool with a fountain,They were designed as an optical illusion, seen from above they appear to stretch beyond their physical layout, by narrowing it gradually.The total landscaped area was around 1,000 acres .
'It seems that it rained yesterday, i was too exhausted to noticed it 'He said as he smiled mischievously ,his eyes brightened as he recalled his previous act .
In fact the reason why he didn't use Hera's to his advantage was due to his age, even though he looked like a sixteen ,he was or at least considered himself much older .
If he was in earth the FBI would have already broken his door and arrested him ,in the end he couldn't really use her, as the mindset and teaching from his previous world was already engraved in his mind.
The carriage reached the door ,the exterior view from close was much better with Dark blue-grey stone walls, high and mighty towers creating a majestic view.
Entering the castle he was escorted by a maid,on his way to his room the walls were decorated with beautiful inscription.From the entrance hall to Gerold bedroom they all have the same stone walls,with chandeliers on the sides and the maids movement creating an ancient and mysterious vibe.
Today was the day that's Mikhail had decided to actually train outside of his room .
So after changing his clothes, he immediately headed to the training grounds.
He heard a very sensitive information from the fat kid this morning about one of the five Great academies opening it's doors after years of absence , recruiting new and talented seeds . This was a great opportunity for him to discover More about this world and became stronger.
There was a physical test and a test of attitude ,what he was worried about was the physical test as he didn't really have any type of experience in the field of fighting ,maybe even Hera can beat him to a pulp, in the end he could only search for another way to become stronger faster ,which was to to try and pursued Ricard to teach him some good breathing techniques and sword skills ,so that he can compete ,he wasn't that worried about his attitude as his system mention that it chose the perfect body for him to embrace on this dangerous journey.
As he was making his way through the corridor he met with Hera and the two twins they had black hair brown eyes thin lips with an arrogant look in their eyes as they glanced at him with disgust.
A playful expression was displayed on Mikhail's face as he walked slowly towards them .
His hands grasped around Hera's waist as he kissed her in the cheeks while saying.
"How have you been my love I missed you so much"
"I'm good Mikhail I missed you too"Hera said in delight clearly happy by his change attitude.
Ron on the left was wearing a light armor with a sword on his waist, looking furious and almost lost his cool as he tried to attack Mikhail.
His sister Elizabeth calmed him down by putting her hand on his shoulder,while wishpering something to his ears,his pupils narrowed as he let go of the sword .
"Huh...He's easily angered 'Mikhail thought.
In fact he already knows that this kid has a deep crush on Hera.
The abuse and bullying his precedor was going through was mostly from this two miscreants twins Ron and Elizabeth.
He felt a little better by by angering Ron albeit he didn't have much time to waste on them as he dragged Hera towards the training grounds completely ignoring their presence.
"Damn that motherfucker some day I will definitely return this humiliation "Ron
shouted in frustration as his face distorted into an ugly expression.
"His time will definitely come" Elizabeth said as she consoled her little brother with a scary glint in her eyes.
This girl was much smarter than her brother as she noticed the abnormal behavior of Mikhail , clearly she was very suspicious.
Meanwhile Mikhail and Hera already reached the training grounds and were standing in front of Ricard.
"how are you uncle how have you been" Mikhail asked with the polite smile.
Hera behind him lifted her hand as she saluted in a cute way saying "hello sir"
"What do you want ,I don't have much time for you"
"I don't know how to say it but I need you to train me, I want to become stronger so that I enroll into the Natalie academy "he said as clenched his fists,a look of determination appeared in his eyes.
Ricard was actually pretty shocked the old Mikhail always had an indifferent and cold expression on the outside but on the inside he was just a weak kid putting on an act always showing a strong front while crying in the dark.
Looking at the changes that was so noticeable and mind-blowing he nodded his head in approval .
Michelle was so anxious that his hands started trembling looking at the cold eyes of Ricard , feeling the invisible pressure exuded by him,he lost all his hopes of gaining something from him.
"Sure why not you're also a descendant of the family it's my duty to help you"
"Okay okay I know it's not a problem I will just go back maybe I can find another tutor" he said while lowering his eyes and disappointment
Hera was looking at him with a strange gaze as she pinched his nose waking him from his stupor.
"Wait ...wait... what" he shouted as he jumped in joy clearly showing his excitement as he hugged Hera , Ricard was looking at him with an amused smile on his face.before disappearing from view.
less than a Minutes later Ricard returned with an ancient book on his hand,the front cover was a figure meditating in peace as it completely integrated with the world.
"This is a breathing technique for you to use it's very beneficial to the mind and body after you learn it, come back to me so that we can continue with your training .
Holding the book in his hands as they trembled in excitement,since his body was now healthy he had the ability to use magic and to further strengthen his muscles , that was abnormally weak for years even after consuming numerous potions and medicine .
Mikhail didn't leave until he finished his quest of push-ups and pull-ups...everyone was looking at him strangely as they never saw this kind of training by anyone in their lives.
Right after he finished his workout and was was about to leave Ricard and gave him another book .
....
He was in his room flipping through the pages of a book,it's title was ' the body's strengthening technique 'Mikhail's expression was becoming more and more strange as he read more pages in the end he had a grim and dark face,He was flabbergasted by this book's brutal and merciless requirement to cultivate it .
Other than getting constantly beaten to strengthen his bones and muscles he needs to do a specific and almost impossible set of poses and movements that cannot be achieved without immense concentration and advanced level of flexibility .By repeating these motion his body can absorb mana while circulating it in a unique way to temper his body starting from the skin ,muscles ,internal organs and finally the bones ,it mentioned that when reaching an advanced level the body can withstand great pressure without breaking and will have the capability to unleash great and boundless power .
Calming his excited heart he moved to the second and most important book ,it looked very ancient and valuable,it consisted of different steps to be able to successfully master it.
The first step is to try and feel the particules of mana in the air ,the second step is to draw that energy into your body and directly lead it to the mind trying to connect and feel the spirit.
After understanding the purpose of those books he immediately summoned the system a blue screen was displayed in his eyes .
Holding the first book he suddenly saw a notification appear
Mikhail was so shocked his eyes almost shot out of his his head as he looked at the notification .
He immediately said yes fearing that the message will suddenly disappear into thin air ,a flood of information entered his head as comprehended a lot of things that he was ignorant of, he then just like a greedy wolf picked the second book and did the same absorbing immense amounts of knowledge .
Mikhail was exuberantly happy by this progress of events as this feature of the system will save him a lot of time and work .looking at his stat he noticed a new tab .
Meditation technique(rank:E)/Name:Unknown> He tried to focus on the new tab to see if there is a further explanation as he saw another line appearing - - At that moments Mikhail Felt his eyelids becoming heavier and heavier as his body was yearning for some sleep ,his session with Lisa ,his inhuman training and the stress of the day made him really exhausted ,as he decided to just lay on his bed and sleep like a dog till tomorrow,anything can be delayed . In less than a minute the sound of snoring filled the room as Mikhail slept quickly entering the world of dreams. **** "Good morning ,my love"Mikhail opened his eyes in a daze trying to identify the voice. In front of him Hera was laying on his bed a few centimeters away from him . He looked at her ,a little bit startled as he could only sigh helplessly in the end "Do we really have to get up"he asked clearly unwilling to leave his comfy bed. "Did you know that you talk in your sleep "Hera said A chill run dow his spin as he thought of the worst possibility of divulging information that he's from another world,but then people wouldn't believe him even if he said it out loud ,she probably thought what he said was just nonsense . "hmm...What did I say "He said calmly. "You were repeating a name i think it was Emma as if you were in great pain" Mikhail could only smile bitterly ...
