Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lolist realized that his villa was not big enough. The attic on the top floor was the bedrooms for the two children, and there were two guest rooms on the second floor. One was for Bofinger, and the other was empty. There were two servant rooms on the first floor. One was for Kelly, and the other was for Redi. Only the guest room on the second floor could accommodate Sederkamp and Padt.
Lolist planned to tidy up the warehouse on the first floor and turn it into a guest room. Together with the one upstairs, Sederkamp and Padt would have their own rooms. When Lolist revealed his intentions, Sederkamp and Padt looked at him strangely, and both of them strongly objected to it.
Sederkamp's meaning was that his young master had made a mistake. He was only his young master's servant and attendant, and not a guest. As long as there was a place for him to sleep on, he would be fine. Normally, he would have to follow behind his young master and listen to his orders. With his status, he would be laughed at by the other lords and nobles if word got out that he was allowed to stay in the guest room upstairs. He had never heard of any nobles letting their servants stay on the same floor as them. In fact, the small space at the bottom of the stairs was just enough for a bed. Or, it didn't matter if he didn't have a bed. Just give him some blankets and he could hide in there.
Padt also refused to stay in the guest room upstairs. His reason was the same as Sederkamp's: it did not match his status. Padt was only his young master's guard. He could stand guard outside his young master's bedroom, but he could not stay on the same floor as his young master.
The concept of equality and the custom of welcoming friends and family from afar made Lolist forget that he was living in Galinthea, a world of lords and nobles. On top of that, the rich business atmosphere in Morent City often made Laurist forget his identity as a quasi-noble. Therefore, he treated Sederkamp and Padt as his guests, which was why the two men refused to treat him as a servant and a subordinate. It also reminded Laurist of the difference in identity between them and him.
Loriste was put in a difficult position, but Redi's idea made him overjoyed. "Let's do it this way. The seven to eight meters long flowerbed beside the stables is large enough to build two double-storey wooden lofts. Contact Aunt Scarlett from the management and get her to send people over to start the work. The sooner the better. When the house is finished, you and Padt can choose two rooms for yourselves. You can leave yours to Sadkamp. "
"Alright." Redi went to look for Aunt Scarlett.
"Young Master, there's no need to spend money on us. It's fine as long as there's a place for us to squeeze in," Seth Kemp advised.
"Hehe." Laurist smiled. "Your Young Master doesn't lack this little bit of money. Since you're going to be by my side in the future, I have to make arrangements for you. This is the Norton Family's honor. As for your salary, you'll be the same as Redi for now. Two gold coins a month. Also, Padt, I'll buy your equipment. You don't have to worry about it. "
"Thank you, Young Master." Padt didn't stand on ceremony.
"Young Master, aren't you giving us too much?" Sadkamp was a little frightened. Two gold coins was equivalent to six imperial gold coins, which was equivalent to sixty imperial silver coins. His salary was only five imperial silver coins a month when he was still in the Norton Family's territory. How many times was his salary now?
Laurist waved his hand and spoke in an unquestionable tone: "You deserve it. But you'll have to suffer a little in the future. Padt, I see that your combat aura is already at 3-star Iron-rank. Try to reach Silver-rank in two to three months. Sadkamp, it's been a long time since you last trained your bronze-ranked combat aura, right? "
Sadkamp had a bitter expression: "Young Master, I don't know why, but I keep forgetting the circulation of combat aura in my veins. I also awakened my combat aura for no reason. It's not that I don't want to train, but I really can't remember it. Master said that I'm not suited to train in combat aura. It's a waste of my awakened combat aura. "
People like Padt, Bofinger, and Sadkamp all trained in the Crisen Empire's military combat aura. It was a basic type of combat aura that could be trained to the peak of Silver-rank. It could be trained in any element, but it was much more complicated than normal basic combat auras. The requirements for awakening it were also higher.
When Bodfinger first brought his two children to Morent City, he was attracted by the slogan of freedom, justice, and equality put forward by the Ford Commercial Union. He wanted to give his children a peaceful and happy living environment. On the other hand, he had already cultivated his combat energy to the peak of the silver level, and there was no more room for improvement. He wanted to earn a lot through his own hard work, such as doing mercenary missions. He wanted to save up enough money to buy high-level combat aura manuals from the market and reach Gold-rank.
In Moronte City, Bofinger still had the opportunity to buy high-ranked combat qi scrolls from the market. If it was in the former Crimson Empire, these high-ranked combat qi scrolls would all be hidden by noble families. Bofinger would only be rewarded with high-ranked combat qi scrolls if he served a noble for more than ten years or made a great contribution to the empire. This was also the reason why Bodfinger left the two children in Laurist's place after he recovered from his injuries and ran off to complete missions day and night.
Laurist smiled: "Don't worry, I have a simpler combat aura circulation route here. It's easy to remember. If you work hard for two or three years, reaching Iron-rank won't be a problem."
Laurist was referring to the basic combat aura that the students in the combat aura training class practiced. This was indeed the simplest combat aura circulation route and most suitable for students who had just awakened combat aura.
Sadkamp frowned and agreed with a bitter expression.
Laurist looked at him sternly: "Sadkamp, I don't raise useless people. If you haven't reached Iron-rank, I won't let you stay by my side. I'll test you once every three months. If you don't make any progress with bronze combat aura, I'll deduct your salary. You'll have to leave after your salary is deducted. Do you understand? "
"Yes, Young Master, I will work hard to cultivate." Sederkamp promised.
"As for Padt, you'll stay by my side and familiarize yourself with the surroundings of Dawn Academy. When the hut is ready, you can train with Redi first. When I'm free, I'll make a training plan for you to improve your strength. "
"Yes, young master." Padt agreed immediately no matter what Laurist said.
"Don't call me young master. Just call me Loke. I'll get used to it." Laurist said.
"Yes, young master Loke." Sadkamp and Padt replied in unison.
--- Dividing Line ---
Early in the morning, Laurist was training in the courtyard as usual. Shiwald was doing a set of gymnastics that Laurist had specially arranged for him. It was very beneficial for improving his physical fitness and building a good foundation. Eliza was still asleep. Redi had his own training methods as well, but the eight basic movements of the swordsmanship were indispensable. Loriste asked Padt and Sadekamp to train as well.
When he was almost done with his training, the construction workers arrived with the tools and materials in their carriages. Yesterday, Redi brought a contractor back. The red-faced contractor listened to Lollister's request and carefully measured the area. He said that building a two-storey wooden house would be easy and quick, and it would only take six to seven days to complete. Since the materials were readily available, they only needed to put them together. However, the materials and the wages would cost around seventeen or eighteen gold coins.
Laurist only had one word: "Build."
After eating Kelly's breakfast, Redi stayed at home as a supervisor and instructed him to look after Alisa and Shward. Loriste then brought Sudekamp and Padt back to the academy. Soon, they arrived at the place where President Petersen's precious son lost weight and trained.
'F * ck, I knew it. It's the same thing again.' Loriste cursed in his heart.
"Excuse me, I'm an instructor," Loriste said. He expressionlessly ignored the supercilious looks thrown at him from all directions. He used his scabbard to push aside the gorgeously dressed and flirtatious female students in front of him. Finally, with great difficulty, he passed through the blockade formed by all the love-struck female students of Dawn Academy and arrived beside the instructor and assistant of the Combat Aura Teaching Team on the square.
"Young Master, there are so many beautiful women here. They've surrounded the square. There should be a thousand of them." Padt, who was following behind Lollister, said. He had never seen so many young and beautiful girls in his life. He blushed as he squeezed through the crowd of beautiful girls.
Loriste was not in a good mood. "All the infatuated female students in Dawn Academy who think they have a bit of beauty are gathered here. There are at least eight hundred if not a thousand."
Yuri came forward. The commoner students in his class had all awakened their combat aura. After familiarizing themselves with the circulation of combat aura, they would be on holiday. They would come back next semester to learn about the various applications of combat aura and other basic knowledge. However, that was simple. They just had to arrange the classes according to the number of students and arrange the instructors to be in charge. Due to the severity of the situation and the fact that everyone's bonuses and benefits were at stake, the three thousand gold coins promised by President Petersen shone brightly. Other than the instructors in charge of the last few dozen students, the rest of the instructors and assistants who could rest naturally came here to work overtime.
Currently, more than thirty instructors and assistants were circling around Peterson Dorseyhouse, setting a record for the largest ratio of instructors to students in Dawn College. However, this couldn't be helped. The instructors and assistants had to supervise the training of this former fatty, as well as prevent the infatuated female students from harassing this young master of the Petersen family, the future head of the family.
Yes, the female students surrounding the square were all here for this young master. Many of them had the same beautiful dream. They wanted to get to know this young master, and then fall in love with each other. They wanted to marry into the Petersen family and become the young master's wife. From then on, they would eat extravagant food, live in luxury, and enjoy endless glory and splendor … Just thinking about it made them feel so sour that they couldn't stand still. The ones who had this dream were all female students from ordinary families.
On the other side of the square were aristocratic ladies dressed in gorgeous clothes. Perhaps it was because of Young Master Peterson's fit and handsome appearance, or because they fancied the influence of the Peterson Family, or because of the ardent expectations of their elders to form a marriage alliance with the Peterson Family, they gathered in the small square to find opportunities to get to know Young Master Peterson. The only difference between them and the female students gathered at Loriste's side was that they all had guards behind them.
F * ck, I didn't expect to become a bodybuilder after losing weight. Loriste lamented.
Indeed, it wasn't just Loriste who didn't expect this. The instructors and assistants who had seen the fatty panting with every step also didn't expect that Young Master Petersen, who had gone through a hellish process of losing weight, would still have such a fit body after losing more than half of his body weight and excess fat.
Young Master Petersen was originally around 1.9 meters tall, ten centimeters taller than Loriste. It was only because of his fat body that people overlooked his height. Now that he had lost weight, his body seemed tall and slender. Moreover, under the threat of the whip, he had undergone all kinds of physical training, and had developed a body full of healthy muscles. He had a strong back and a thin waist, and the muscles on his body bulged, forming an enviable inverted triangle shape. In particular, the biceps on both of his arms looked exceptionally strong and powerful. His skin showed a healthy bronze color under the sunlight for a long period of time, and as sweat flowed from his body during exercise, it became glossy and shiny.
If Young Master Petersen still had a body full of fat, even if the female students in the academy knew about his family background, they wouldn't have any ideas. No woman would want to stay with a pile of fat. However, Young Master Petersen had successfully lost weight. A few female students who happened to pass by this remote square unexpectedly discovered a handsome and fit boy exercising here, and they immediately surrounded him for the entire morning.
The instructors and assistants didn't mind, as it was always pleasant to have beautiful women around. Thus, with a few words from the beautiful women, Young Master Petersen's family background was revealed.
Wow, so this big boy who was exercising non-stop in the square was the future head of the Petersen family, one of the seven giants of the Commerce Alliance. He's so sunny, so cute, so fit, so handsome … Oh, he even looked at me and smiled. I can't take it anymore, I'm going to faint … Just like that, the first batch of female students who were infatuated with him appeared.
One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred, and soon, most of the female students in the academy knew about this news. Those who had the ambition to marry into a rich family, and those who thought they were somewhat good-looking all dressed up and appeared in the surroundings of the small square, spontaneously cheering for Young Master Petersen who was exercising. No matter how the instructors and assistants explained to them that Young Master Petersen was now doing a weight loss exercise, and not secretly training here to participate in some competition, these infatuated girls ignored them all. Our prince, the handsome Young Master Petersen, needs to do weight loss exercise? That's nonsense! Look at his figure, compare it to yours, I think you're the one who needs to do weight loss exercise, right? The infatuated girls pointed at the instructor's small belly and laughed.
Listen to the praises of these infatuated girls, it was simply unbearable as a man. "Oh my god, he's a man among men, my Prince Charming …" "Look at his figure, his muscles, so strong and powerful, I really want to throw myself into his arms and enjoy his love … Oh, I'm going to be drunk …" This one couldn't wait to throw herself into his arms.
There were even more exaggerated "Oh my god, he's simply the incarnation of the Sun God … His smile is so charming, his eyes are so deep, his whole body is filled with power, it seems that with just a lift of his hand and a stamp of his foot, the mountain will collapse and the water will stop flowing …"
Hey, hey, hey, big sister. Are you sure you're writing a hymn? That muscular kid is actually a rookie who hasn't awakened his qi!
"How's the situation?" Loriste asked.
Yuri smiled bitterly. "It's like this every day, the instructors and assistants can't take it anymore. Why are there so many idiotic girls in the academy? "
"How should I know? Looks like we'll have to get Fatty Shi to send the law enforcement team over to maintain order. Also, while ensuring the quality of the Petersen kid's training, we also have to pay attention to safety, don't let people with ulterior motives find a chance. "Loriste was a little worried.
"Hmm?" Loriste saw Young Master Petersen, who was running in the distance, stop and talk to a girl next to him who was wearing a sun mask.
"Who's that?" Loriste asked Yuri. "Also, that kid Petersen stopped, why is the training instructor advising him from the side? Where's the whip?"
"That's the daughter of the Grand Duke of the Morosang Principality, a princess. It's said that she's related to the Petersen family in a roundabout way. She heard that Young Master Petersen is training here, so she comes to visit every day. "
"As for the whip …" Yuri spread out his hands. "It's in the box on the ground, who dares to use it now! Last time, an assistant tried to scare the lazy Young Master Petersen, but he was almost torn to pieces by the girls next to him. So now he can only advise with kind words, and doesn't dare to teach him a lesson. "
"Yuri, take Sederkamp to the auditorium. Make him sit in front of the diagram of basic qi and blood circulation, memorize it and draw it. Then make him sit in front of the diagram and practice qi for an hour. This guy has awakened qi but can't remember the route, what a waste of his good body. As for here, leave it to me. " After Loriste finished speaking, he took the whip from the box and walked towards Young Master Petersen. Pat hurriedly followed behind him.
Young Master Petersen was chatting happily with the beautiful princess in front of him, ignoring the advice of the training instructor next to him that he still had ten laps to run. Suddenly, he heard the familiar sound of a whip in the air, followed by a sharp pain in his back. He turned around and saw that it was the demon-like Head Instructor Locke standing behind him with a whip in his hand. He was so scared that he hugged his head and shrunk on the ground, not daring to move.
The noise of the audience suddenly condensed at this moment, and only the sound of the whip and Loriste's roar could be heard in the small square, "How dare you be lazy! How dare you disobey the instructor's words! Double the physical training in the morning, half the lunch. If you do this again, you'll starve for three days, do you hear me? If you hear me, get up and continue running! "
After whipping the bodybuilding champion ten times and letting him continue running, Loriste heard angry curses around him before he could take a breather. He turned around and saw that the love-struck girls at the side of the small square were glaring at him fiercely, gritting their teeth as they closed in on him. It was obvious that they wanted to cut him into pieces.
Crack! Crack! Crack! The crisp sound of the whip rang in the air, followed by Loriste's gloomy and clear voice reaching everyone's ears, "If you girls continue to disturb our normal teaching order, don't blame me for being impolite. I'll whip your faces, and I guarantee that you'll be completely disfigured. The Petersen family will also hold your families responsible. Who wants to try? "
Loriste's whip hit the ground, and a whip mark half a foot deep appeared on the ground.
The love-struck girls at the front suddenly came to their senses. They looked at the whip mark on the ground with a fearful expression and began to retreat.
These love-struck girls would not be afraid of breaking their arms and legs. They might even be happy that they could show their faces in front of the prince of their hearts. However, Loriste said that their faces would be disfigured. These love-struck girls had to think twice. They could not possibly show their disfigured faces …
"How dare you treat my Brother Hauss like this!" The beautiful princess finally recovered from her shock. She pointed at Loriste and scolded him angrily. She then ordered the guards behind her, "Capture him and whip him hard."
The four Silver-tier guards behind her fiercely pounced forward. In an instant, the two Silver-tier guards in front of Loriste fell to the ground. The lighter-tier guard was half-squatting on the ground and retching, but he could not vomit anything. He looked like he was in extreme pain. The heavier guard's limbs were twitching involuntarily, and he was unconscious. The two Silver-tier guards behind him were stunned and did not dare to move forward. Then, they recognized Loriste.
"Your Highness, he's Black Iron Locke."
"Is it because he's Black Iron that you're allowed to go? Can four Silver-tiers not deal with him? Oh, what happened to the two of them? "Only then did the princess see the two Silver-tier guards lying on the ground.
"Your Highness, Black Iron Locke is an invincible Silver-tier. We're no match for him. " The guard who replied smiled bitterly. This princess of his did not care about anything other than dressing fashionably and attending gatherings and salons. She might not have heard of the legend of Black Iron Locke, so it was better for him to say that they were no match for him.
"Hmph …" Since her Silver-tier bodyguard was clearly no match for this detestable instructor, the princess did not force the issue. She glared at Laurist fiercely, snorted, and left with a haughty expression. The two Silver-tier guards came over and bowed their heads in greeting. Then, they helped the two on the ground up and left in a hurry.
Loriste returned to the instructors' group. He looked at Young Master Peterson who was running and pondered. He turned a deaf ear to the love-struck female students who were cursing at him.
"What are you thinking about?" Instructor Marlin came over.
"Say, there are so many love-struck female students coming over to watch Young Master Peterson. If we move the training to the indoor training hall and let these girls buy tickets to watch, will we get a lot of ticket money?" Loriste replied.
The instructors and assistants at the side all fainted …
