Steam appeared all over the demi goddess of war's body as she stood at the top of the corpses of the monsters she have slayed with little to no power, only relying on her martial technique.
As she looks up, she looks to the cloudy sky which resembled a bunch marshmallows.
"I have come far. And it was all thanks to you"
The demi goddess of war said while she cried as she looks on her slim and well vuilt figure that she has lost from binge watching Lagnos' battles.
"Thank you, sister!"
By regaining her former figure in just three weeks, the demi goddess of war jumped in joy and celebrated to go back to her house. Leaving the souless Goddess of all Bitches behind.
- Master! Fighting!
"I feel like I'm already dead~"
Because of the demi goddess of war's stuborness, Mel was forced to work out along with her.
However, to quickly ahieve the body goal of the demi goddess of war, an intense work out schedule was made which Mel also has to follow for emtional support.
"A work out that would normally kill people... Haha~ If I wasn't a Goddess, I would have died. I think even Payne would have been exahusted to the point of not being able to keep consciousness anymore"
- You did amazing, master! And on the bright side, you are at least twelve times stronger and faster than three weeks ago!
Red cheered.
"Let's go back for now. I'm sore all over"
Unlike humans and other mortal beings, deities who are made of mana and survive through mana in the mortal world do not get tired physcically but can habits can affect their outer appearance.
And unlike how people have to rest after working out to let the muscles and bones to rest, deities who heals everything in their body the moment it is detroyed made it optimal for them to keep tearing the muscles again and again through work out to make sure that they would be able to finish it as soon as possible.
Truly, what a hellish training where you cannot take a rest, eat, or shit.
...
After achieving the desired goal the two rest and strengthen their bond by doing light and fun recreational activities.
Just like that, a week passed by and the first day of August arrived.
"Virgins! Do not die! Those who aren't virgins anymore, you decide whether to die or not!!!"
Head department of the security of the Kingdom of Swords, highest ranking individual with greater authority, currently, when it comes to the military, known as the second high strongest individual in the world, and the most versatile among the only three Singularity rank.
"Man or woman. Whatever you see yourself as, you better be able to kill at least a hundred of these monsters before you die!!!"
Department head Yu Mengyao stood before the army of the Kingdom of Swords with the monsters
"Sharpshooters! FIRE!!!"
By his command, the range fighters simultaneously launched their attack.
"Keeeeieeik!"
The six legged creatures on the front trampled those behind them after being hit by the attack.
With the terrain advantage on Yu Mengyao's side, the attacks toward the Ceilaobaders going up hill had at least eighty percent chance of hitting one.
"Sharpshooters! Switch to hitting the ones who are about to go up hill! Soldiers! CHARGE!!!"
With him at the front, the kingdom of Sword's Eternal Singularity, Yu Mengayo's slashed decimated almost half of the countless Ceilaobaders.
"Make sure to maintain formation you all"
Yu Mengyao slaugthered the Ceilaobaders with his sword. He killed the giant ones with a single thrust of his spear. And with the small daggers on his waist, almost comparable to a pen, he would strike down the Ceilaobaders who will make fatal strikes to the soldiers, lowing the casualties as much as he can as he lead the frontlines with overwhelming power while increasing the army's morale.
...
After completing the workout schedule with the demi goddess of war, I called for everyone that went past my mind.
- Isn't it already late?
'Leave it be. No one is complaining anyway'
Knowing that I had matters to attend to with the former Goddess of War, no one minded or dared to voice out anything about my sudden disappearance.
"Fiero Lawless, raise your head"
The Amber tower master raised his head and looked up to me.
"Tell me what it is that you came here for"
"On behalf of the Magic Kingdom, I, the Amber tower master would like to ask if the Goddess of all Bitches will be alright with entering with a joint contractual relationship with us"
"And by that you mean exchanging goods for a limitted time? Seeing your expression, I assume you're going to say something like 'About a hundred years, your holiness'. Did I get that right?"
Fiero sighed in defeat.
"That is correct your holiness"
By entering a simple contractual relationship with us, it would verify that I have no intention on destroying their country while they will be able to assure themselves that they will have an amicable relationship with Lagnos that is entering its golden age.
"Fine. But you guys from the Magic Kingdom will be the ones responsible to transfer all goods"
"It would be our honor, your holiness. And thank you very much for giving an answer so soon"
"Of course I have to. That God of yours has been spamming my head with telepathic messages that the word 'annoying' can't even describe it"
After bowing once, Fiero Lawless exited my room.
"Marie Ito and Somchai, raise your heads"
The two looked up.
"Regarding about the spar you two had some time ago, my evaluation is that there is no need for me to say anything"
"What do you mean by that, your grace?"
Marie Ito asked.
"I am saying that you both are geniuses that gets better by yourselves even without guidance. However, I do advice one thing. No matter what or how ridiculous a fight is, look at it carefully. Geniuses like you are bound to pick up at least a thing or two and apply the things you perceive to your techniques. That is all I have to say"
Honestly, I don't even know what I'm saying. Hopefully, they will accept it.
"Such profound wisdom. I am in awe, your grace"
"Thank you. We will always think about the words you have given to us, your grace"
Wow. It actually worked, huh.
The two exited the room after bowing once.
"Now. You punk, come here"
Finn who was wearing formal clothes for once came up to me as I ordered.
"Answer this test paper"
".....? Aristocratic etiquette in Lagnos 101?"
"I would like to see you answering that before me. And you will be standing on top of that runic circle"
Finn turned around and saw Zachary presenting the runic circle with delight.
"That runic circle will prevent you from using
"I get that my skills are being restricted but... what is up with the name of the test? Besides, I have already learned my lesson your grace. Must I really learn something and change myself for other's benefits?"
Swoosh.
I gave Finn the contract he signed the night he became the Pope of Lagnos.
As he read the contents, Finn's eyes widened.
"Fourteenth clause, the Pope of Lagnos shall treat everyone in the ways of Lagnos etiquette. Basically, it is part of the job description"
"How come you're only saying this to me now?"
"Because I was hoping you to learn it by yourself when you confidently signed the contract after reading it over and over for three hours straight. And that's just one paper"
With no way to say anything back, Finn sat down on the runic circle while Ralias, Zachary, Darius, and Alice with her scythe watches over him.
"Senior Finn, do make sure to cheat since if you do it will give me all the rights to punch you"
"I'd like to see you try" He replied.
Shing.
The cold and sharp scythe reached for Finn's neck.
"I doubt you would be able to beat all four of us while inside that runic circle, Sir Finn"
"Tsk!"
Finn clicked his tongue making Alice smile in victory.
"Your six hours of taking this test will now start"
".....?!"
The four guards looked up to me with confusion written all over their faces.
"Your grace... six hours? For finishing a three paged test?"
"Yes. Knowing his personality, this will most likely be torture for him so I decided to give him more time. It will be more entertaining like that after all"
As I walked back, I could feel Finn glaring at me.
- How funny of him.
"Oh, right. Finn~"
Shivers went through Finn's body as he could feel something was about to happen.
"Know that if you fail this test, you will have to undergo another month of learning and another test after that until you achieve a passable score. Do try your best, my Pope"
The four carefully watched the Pope reading the test question in tears.
