BXBX NOVEL Chapter 44 Two Months
Since Diana left, there was no need for me to suppress my traits anymore.
Therefore, with a blunt expression, I went to my room after sending her off. The materials I ordered were all here, and a maid was waiting for me in front of my room.
"Master Callius, aside from the Basilisk\'s Shell and the meat of Meteorite Beast, everything is here right now. The meat is getting prepared for the supply, and it will be saved in the storeroom."
"Good. Inform me about the news related to the meat supply."
"Understood, Master Callius."
"You are dismissed."
After having a brief conversation with the maid, I entered my room.
Looking at how fast materials are found, you might think they are all common. Although they are not that rare, they are not that common either. But a Duke household\'s network shouldn\'t be underestimated.
Anyway, after checking if everything was here or not and confirming that, I started preparing for my training.
\'Let\'s see what we can do.\'
Thinking like that, I grabbed the Blessed Brier. Taking all the training materials with me, I went to the training grounds and started training as usual.
Since Diana left the mansion, there was no one I would like to open up to and suppress my traits; therefore, the monotonous routine of training, reading, and studying started for me.
***
It has been six days since Diana left, and I started the process of awakening my aura.
My days were always monotonous.
Waking up in the dawn, eating a Blessed Brier, training my body to limits, training with my sword while watching the records of the previous day\'s training, going to breakfast, training again, reading a book, and sometimes playing with my lightning magic, working on the magic itself.
And today was just like another day.
I genuinely feel like the limitations on my body are lifted, and I am starting to feel the effects of consuming Blessed Brier. At the end of the day, when I eat her before going to sleep, it makes the pain in my body increases.
Anyway, since I am starting to feel like my basics are returning to my body again, I think the lack of an enemy while swinging my sword is starting to take a toll on me.
Therefore, from today on, I will use the training room in a different way than before.
Entering the training room, I first, of course, started training with my body weight. Since it has just been six days, my body hasn\'t developed enough to not feel anything while training with my body.
However, of course, the time range of my body training is increasing rapidly. Since I am running until my legs give in, my stamina is improving as well.
I think it is very close to reaching 1.4.
Anyway, finishing the body training, I called Aura.
"Aura. Can you make the previous records of mine as my enemy?"
"It is possible. However, you won\'t be able to fight with that without being exposed to too much dark mana."
"It doesn\'t matter. Start the process."
"Understood, master."
Just like that, my spars with my previous self-started.
***
It has been eleven days since I started the process of awakening my aura. I visited the city two times just to search for a trustworthy merchant. However, I wasn\'t able to find any. Well, I shouldn\'t have expected optimistic results either, considering I just tried twice. We will see what we can do.
Today is the last day of eating Iogerkuin. And the pain of this method has already started. Since I had already eaten all of the Blessed Briers and Snow Betty Flowers, my body was in ruins. And now, while eating the Iogerkuin, it feels like my body is being slowly reconstructed, albeit it is more like a repair.
For the past ten days, Emma seemed a little lost on the meals. I have also talked twice with Adelyn, although it was more like an interrogation for why I suddenly started training or else.
Also, fighting with my previous day\'s self helped quite a lot, to be honest. Well, considering the knights are always sparring, it is understandable that fighting with a person is always better than fighting with the air.
My stats are also developed quite well. It feels like I am getting stronger.
Thinking like that, I left the training grounds around the evening and went to the dining room.
\'System, show me my stats.\'
Stats-
- Strength – 1.4
- Speed – 1.4
- Stamina – 1.4
- Perception – 2.1
- Magic – 0 (2.7)
- Luck -???
- Charisma – 5 (sealed)
- Intelligence – 9
- Perseverance - 10
Looking at my stats, I put a satisfied smile on my face. All of my attributes are improved aside from my Magic and Perception. And considering it has been just eleven days and I have yet to awaken my aura, it was really good.
After eating a monotonous dinner with Adelyn and Emma, I left for my room. Consuming the last Iogerkuin, my day ended just like that.
***
Today is the day when the first month of my training has ended. For the past thirty days, I have never once stopped training. I went to the city seven times, but I was not able to hear any news about the Dragon Heart appearing.
Adelyn is also getting slightly suspicious about my visits as well, although I don\'t think she will care too much about that.
Yesterday, Arthur visited our mansion, and I was able to overhear that the childhood circle would gather in the Nightlance Mansion. So, Emma will not be around for a while.
Aside from that, my training is going pretty well. Since I pretty much-lost hope about buying the Dragon Heart, I am focusing more on the process.
Since I am no longer satisfied with training on my previous day\'s self, I am spending more time watching the knights training among themselves and trying to get insights.
With my constant use of [All Seeing Eye], my affinity with it also increased quite a lot. It is now on the level of 1-star.
My speed stat also reached 1.5. It is pretty normal, considering the sword style of the Augustride Family is heavily reliant on speed.
I am also thinking of combining my lighting magic with my sword skills, but it is pretty hard. We will see what I can do.
***
A shiny moonlight coming from the skies, illuminating surroundings…
A person with a veil on her head, her face is unknown…
"Waaaaa! Waaaaaa!"
A crying sound of a child…
/SWOOSH/ /SWOOSH/
Sound of water flowing….
/AUUU/ /AUUU/
Sound of wolves\' howling…
A feeling of bitterness came from my chest.
/PAT/ /PAT/
Two tiny little drops of tears falling from the eyes of the person covering her face with a veil…
***
I woke up suddenly with the same dream I had been seeing from time to time.
"It is the same dream again."
Mumbling like that, I checked the sky, and seeing it was still dark, I stood up and got out of bed.
"Today is the last day of my preparing period."
I mumbled to myself while washing my face.
Today marks the finish of my preparation period for aura awakening.
\'There is still no news coming from Merchant Darren. It seems I won\'t be able to find any Dragon Heart. It is a pity.\'
I thought while ordering my morning tea.
In the last month, I frequently visited the city and found a trustworthy merchant while using my [All Seeing Eye]. Since it has now leveled up, I can use it on the people of 1-star rank without making them alert too much.
When I was venturing into the city, I saw a man trying to sell his belongings in the streets, and I decided to check it. Since I was using my skill [Disguise] at that time, my face looked like a commoner\'s.
Hearing his situation about the increase in gangs, it seemed the death of Austin was affecting the city\'s crime rate.
After informing Adelyn about this situation, I gained the loyalty of this guy by giving him a lot of money while also revealing my identity. I was using him to check the community of merchants to see if there was any Dragon Hearts being sold, but it seems I won\'t be able to find them.
Anyway, leaving my room after I finished my tea, I went to the training grounds.
My body developed quite well in the last two months.
\'System, show me my stats.\'
Saying that in my mind, I entered the training room.
<Understood.>
Stats-
- Strength – 1.5
- Speed – 1.6
- Stamina – 1.5
- Perception – 2.1
- Magic – 0 (2.7)
- Luck -???
- Charisma – 5 (sealed)
- Intelligence – 9
- Perseverance - 10
Looking at the panel above, my smile widened. Yesterday I was finally able to increase my stamina.
Since today will be the last day I will train before I awaken my aura, let\'s engrave this last feeling on my head.
Thinking like that, I adjusted the training room to the first environment I used and started running between all the noises of nature….
