Successful Advancement
As dawn arrived, Abel rolled out of bed. Thinking of what happened during dinner last night, Abel smiled and started his homework for the day-meditation.
By the time the sky turned bright, Ai Bo had already completed his meditation and meditation. Currently, it only took Ai Bo half an hour to circulate his mental cultivation method. After two hours of meditation, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his warrior power had increased a little. Although it was only a small increase, it was at least a good start.
After finishing his cultivation, Abel walked out of his room and joined everyone in eating breakfast. Of course, he had to fight for food with Avril. Even a small piece of bread could cause a bloody scene.
Abel was no longer the hothead he was yesterday. He had a basic understanding of the methods of the delinquent middle-aged man. After leaving the hotel, Abel was about to run to the training ground.
"Wait!" Seeing Abel's actions, Winst quickly called him back. "Do you want to die? You just finished eating and you're already running.”
"What? Walking again? Then when you guys run away, won't I be like yesterday?”
"This has nothing to do with us, but you'll probably get used to it soon.”Brad's words were always infuriating.
"You guys are ruthless!" Abel, who was in a weak position, could only choose to compromise.
At the side of the training ground, Abel lay on the ground like a dead dog. "Okay, okay, I got it. I'll get up now.”Seeing that Winst was about to speak, Abel immediately took the initiative to attack. Although this couldn't change his fate, it was still an achievement to be able to get rid of this delinquent middle-aged man's urging voice.
Same place, same character, same result as yesterday. After a day of training, Abel's performance today was not much better than yesterday's. He still suffered a beating and entered the gates of hell.
"Albert, let me check your homework from yesterday. First, the letters." Although Brad liked to bully Abel, he was absolutely responsible for teaching Abel.
"Hehe, you're underestimating me. Those 26 letters have long been in my head.”Abel was not afraid of Brad's test at all.
"Yes, I knew you were a good student. Next, I'm going to test you on the story I told you yesterday. If you can't answer it, you won't be able to eat.”Brad said sinisterly. Abel had done a good job and he had praised him. If Abel answered wrongly, he would have nothing to say even if he was punished.
"No way. You really want me to tell a story? How can I memorize such a long story?”Abel's face immediately pulled longer than a donkey's.
"Hmph, do you really think I'm telling you a story? I want you to remember the important parts of the story I told you. The country, the route they took, the cause of the incident, how to deal with the unexpected situation, did you really treat it as a story?”Brad told Abel his good intentions of telling him stories.
"So that's how it is. No wonder you told me stories. Big Brother Brad's idea is really brilliant.”
"Don't think that I'll let you eat lunch just because you flatter me.”
"You... How can this be…"
"If you want to eat, then study hard. There's no room for discussion.”
Brad finished his lesson in the haunted house filled with resentment. Abb, who was terrified of the punishment, squeezed his brain cells as hard as he could. He wanted to remember everything that Brad had taught him today. Everything was for the sake of eating.
Everyone finished their lunch under Abel's resentful gaze. Only Avril still had a strong appetite.
In the afternoon, it was still the actual combat training. Babasa and Will, who had a good understanding of Abel's fighting style, didn't give Abel the chance to beat them up. Instead, Abel was the target for the entire afternoon.
After the actual combat, it was the cultural class that had not been held yesterday. However, this class was no longer in Brad's charge, and Captain Winst was teaching Abel personally.
"Abel, don't be surprised. What I taught you is different from what Brad taught you.”Winst explained when he saw the strange look in Abel's eyes.
"Different? Could it be that the letters you taught me can become 28?”After a day of learning, Abel had already learned how to use the letters as an example.
"No, I'm not teaching you how to read.”Winst broke out in cold sweat.
"Then what else do you know, Guild Leader?" In Abel's impression, this delinquent uncle only knew a few more words than him.
"Shut up! If you talk again, your weight will be doubled tomorrow!" Winst's pride was greatly hurt.
"Listen, I'm teaching you combat and military knowledge.”
"Combat? Military?" Abel still didn't understand.
"Yes, just like your fighting style likes to attack the enemy's weaknesses. What I want to teach you is what weaknesses the human body has, what kind of effect will be produced after these weaknesses are attacked, and what kind of attack will have the greatest effect on the corresponding weaknesses.”
"What about the military?" Aber understood Winst's words very easily. After all, this was what he was good at. However, what did the military that the commander was talking about have to do with him?
"We are mercenaries, and mercenaries are also soldiers. When we go on missions, we are always on the verge of death, so we must understand military knowledge. Different terrains would have different effects. Under what circumstances would one have to be extra vigilant? Even mercenaries would be transferred to the battlefield during a war. If one did not know anything, the first one to die would definitely be you.”
"I didn't expect Guild Leader to be so talented.”Looking at Winst, who was explaining the importance of military affairs with a serious expression, Abel's attention was elsewhere.
"You... If you fail the exam tomorrow, you won't be allowed to eat.”Winst's face was filled with helplessness. He could only use the magic treasure that prevented Abel from eating.
"No way, why are you doing this too?! Can't I learn?" Seeing the divine weapon that the other party had revealed, Abel squeezed his brain cells again.
Time flew by, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.
Ai Bo, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes. Just now, he had completed the advancement of his warrior power. He had finally condensed his warrior power into a cyclone and stepped into the ranks of regular warriors. Of course, without these three months of training, even with Ai Bo's excellent talent, he would never advance without more than half a year of training.
"I finally succeeded. These three months of suffering have not been in vain.”Thinking about the past three months, Abel's hair was all over his body.
Abel carried a 40-pound iron block and ran non-stop every day. He was hammered by rocks, beaten by Babasa and Will, and had to squeeze his brain cells to learn from Brad and the regiment commander. He repeated it day after day. It took Abel more than 20 days to get used to the training. At least the daily long-distance running was no longer a problem for him. Even if he was carrying weights, he could still complete the evasive training. Although he would still occasionally take a few hits, Abel always avoided his vital parts.
The actual combat training had gone from being one-sided in the beginning to a fair fight in the end. Combined with the combat knowledge taught by the regiment commander, Abel was like a tiger with wings. Even Babasa and Will had been defeated by Abel a few times without using battle energy.
However, this situation would only last until the end of the month. At the beginning of the second month, Ai Bo's weight became 80 pounds, and a new round of beatings began. However, the good news was that after a month of meditation, Abel's mental strength had first formed a vortex and reached the level of an official mage. The advancement of mental strength had developed Abel's brain, just like how the advancement of combat aura would strengthen a person's body.
During the second month of training, Winst had taught everything to Abel, so his cultural class was changed to actual combat. However, this time, Winst was added to the team.
After struggling through the second month of training, Abel was greeted by a 200-pound iron block. There were also cultural lessons on noble etiquette and flower arrangement. Even Avril was involved in actual combat. Abel, who was fighting an archer for the first time, was pinned to the ground by Avril.
The hellish training had a remarkable effect. Abel's height had increased by a large margin, and his body had also become stronger and more angular, full of explosive power. His Dou Qi was also rapidly increasing and condensing.
Winst and the others were quite satisfied with Abel's results. The only one who was not satisfied was Brad, because under Abel's stubborn resistance, Winst agreed to Abel's request of not learning etiquette and flower arrangement.
In contrast to these results, Abel also learned a skill, which was to make straw men. In his spare time, Abel's favorite activity was to make straw puppets. He would then write Brad's name on them and poke them with a needle. No one had any objections to this. If it was anyone else who was asked questions like " The family situation of the eunuch serving the Emperor of Valencia "," The name and hobbies of the only daughter of the president of the Hermo Trade Union ", or " How many illegitimate daughters does the invincible commander of the Rexton Empire have ", they would probably do the same thing as Abel.
" Leader, I've succeeded!" Abel kicked open Winst's door and rushed in.
"Didn't you knock on the door before you came in?”Winst would not tolerate politeness. He did not want Aber to be seen as uncultured.
"Captain, I've advanced. I'm a regular warrior now.”The excited Abel didn't even hear Winst's teachings.
"What is it? Have you successfully advanced to become a warrior?" Abel had never told anyone about his cultivation progress, so his sudden advancement was a huge shock to Winst.
"Yes, I succeeded just now. Now, the energy swirl is slowly rotating.”
"That's great. I'm going to tell everyone the good news immediately. Albert, you're a genius.”The excited leader ran to Brad's room next door and kicked open the door.
" Hey, Brad, Abel has advanced. Hurry up and call everyone. Let's celebrate.”He had definitely forgotten who had taught Abel to knock before entering.
"Really? Guild Leader, are you still dreaming?”Brad's face was filled with disbelief. He couldn't be blamed for this. After all, it was a little shocking to successfully advance in three months.
"F * ck off, I'm very clear-headed. It was Abel who came to tell me just now. He's still in my room.”
"What happened?" Will, who heard the noise, walked in.
"Captain said that Abel has successfully advanced, but I suspect that Captain is dreaming.”Brad was still in disbelief.
"Oh? I see. I believe you." Will was very confident in Abel.
"Alright, go and call everyone to my room to take a look.”
In a short while, everyone had gathered in the Guild Leader's room. The 12 eyes stared at Abel as if they had seen something strange.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ai Bo felt a little embarrassed under his gaze.
"You really advanced?" Avril didn't believe it either.
"Of course, I'm a genius." It seemed like Abel didn't know what modesty was.
"Yes, you are indeed a genius." Everyone said emotionally. Hearing Abel's words, no one objected. After all, his cultivation speed was obvious.
"Abel's advancement is beyond my expectations, but it doesn't affect our original plan. His advancement is actually beneficial to us. We had rested here for three months, and we had spent almost all of our money. Fortunately, we had finally completed our training for Abel, so I decided to go to the Mercenary Guild tomorrow to look for a suitable mission. It was time to bring Abel out to experience the world.”Captain Winst made arrangements for the future of the mercenary group.
"Leader, I want to bid farewell to the old beggar before leaving tomorrow. After all, I don't know when I'll be back after leaving this time.”After three months of interaction, Winst and the others had learned about the old beggar who had raised Abel and the origin of his name.
"Yes, Abel, you did the right thing. You know how to repay kindness. It's a pity that he's no longer around. Otherwise, he would be very pleased to see your current achievements.”
"Thank you, Guild Leader." Abel's eyes turned red when he heard the leader's words. He really missed the old beggar.
" Alright, let's not talk about these sad things. Abel, you've successfully advanced today. Let's celebrate tonight. Tomorrow, we'll start a new life.”Seeing the dejected Abel, Winst immediately changed the topic.
"Whoosh ~ Target restaurant, let's go!!”Avril excitedly rushed to the restaurant.
