Kapitel 39: Back home 3
====
Making a simple Chap here, Damian deserves a break :D
===
As days go by, the stiffness of my emotions is gone I think, well, it's I think because I could at least genuinely laugh at Qian Xin's attempt to make a joke.
"Damian"
"Aye?"
"Aren't you supposed to participate in the tournament?"
"Nah"
Senna looked puzzled so I followed up my words
"I have negotiated basically"
"Eh….? I wanted to see you fight though"
"Haven't you seen enough of that?"
Qian Xin interjected whilst plopping herself beside Senna and even hugging her arm.
"Yeah like, you've seen me fight"
"I know you held back that time in VR! What I want to see is you not holding back!"
"oh yeah!" Qian Xin said as if remembering something "We both went all out at that time! What about you"
She's looking at me with that interrogating look. I pursed my lips and looked away before the both of them started barraging me with questions.
"Were you holding back? Were you? Were you?"
Qian Xin with a grin pushed for questions but unluckily for her, I also have some questions.
"Oh yeah, who was it that was going in a banquet-style dress just to go to a chicken vendor?"
"..."
"I can't hear you~!"
Qian Xin was quickly silenced as she brought up an embarrassing memory. Right now we're at the training centre and we're all resting after long arduous training.
"Y'all wanna hang out later?"
I asked, I miss going out, I got involved with something I didn't even want for 8 months of my stay in the academy.
Well, at least that had its benefits.
"Sure!"
Senna excitedly yelled, and Qian Xin too seemed excited. I can't help but grin at Qian Xin
"You better have good outing clothes"
"I-I do!"
I can't help but laugh, but that laugh was cut short when a familiar figure approached me. It was Fermund.
But unlike months ago, the aura he is exuding is different.
"Damian Vogue…"
Senna squinted her eyes whilst Qian Xin growled. I didn't mind what was happening in front of me.
"Can you help me train?"
The surrounding seems to douse in silence, Fermund, a high-class man is asking for a First year? That was some courage truly.
"What made you make this decision?"
I asked curiously.
Fermund looked at me in the eyes and with a deep exhale he spoke.
"I notice how immature I was and… "
He is taking his courage here, to lower his head and swallow his pride so he could get stronger.
"I realised what I need is a proper guidance, I saw how flawed I was"
I smiled and waved my hand
"Sure sure, that's a good enough"
I stood up. And stretched my shoulders
"Let's have a light spar, I'm going to hang out with my friends you see"
Fermund nodded, I could see his cold sweat running down his forehead. I think he's changing into a better person, although it took him a few months it's still a good chance.
We went to the arena to spar. Nonetheless, he didn't try to come out on top, he actively tried to gauge my power and even did some traps sometimes luring me to take some chances just for it to backfire on me.
His fighting style consists of mind games and a straightforward attack style. His defence to attack ratio is good as it gets as the transition from attack to defence was very optimized for kickers.
Yes, Fermund is more on the kicking side.
Even though this is a light spare it was a frustrating one, as Fermund was full of cunning tricks.
"Is it because of your Guide?"
"Yeah, pretty much"
We talked for a bit, Fermund's tone was neither domineering nor sheepish, he was talking to me like I'm his equal, which I appreciate.
"Well then see you later"
Fermund gave a nod before leaving, it's afternoon and it's time to leave. I also have a schedule to go for.
As I went back to the dorms I looked at the bonsai tree on the table, I looked closely and I saw a tiny white fruit growing on it.
"oh wow~"
I only sprayed this tree carefully and even trimmed it occasionally. Now that I've looked at it without any stress bearing on me it's beautiful.
I let out a sigh before taking a shower and dressing up. I walked to the Academy gates as we planned and lo and behold, Senna and Qian Xin in their outing outfit.
I could see the admiring faces of bystanders, I felt relaxed because I could sense this huh. I would've ruled them out as unnecessary information and ignored them.
"Damian!"
"Yeah yeah"
"What took you so long? Making two maidens wait what a bad boy you are~"
"Yeah at least one lady knows how to dress lmao"
"pfft-"
Qian Xin looked at the Senna who was trying not to laugh, feeling betrayed at the sudden plight of laughter.
"You… "
"Since it's been so long since the three of us hang out I'll be choosing the place where we eat, y'all choose the places we have fun"
"Ooh! Oh! My turn for games"
Qian Xin yelled in excitement, Senna just watched her flare in excitement. With things decided they finally embarked on their journey of hanging out.
They went to the nearest arcade, it was an advanced arcade for ranked folk, ones that can advance higher in the status ranking.
"Bruh! Let me win!"
"In my grave Qian Xin!"
Air hockey, it's one of the things you would see in an arcade, second to the slot and claw machines.
"Argh!"
[3:0] that was the score
"Wahahaha!! You hit the disc to your own goal!!"
Qian Xin wailed in defeat, as she got replaced by Senna we started all over again but with the same result, me winning.
"Lez Go!!!!"
[3:2]
I laughed as the score was closely won. I guess she's that good at this because of her throwing skills and the trajectory is under her full control.
I on the other hand can see slow as hell and make decisions upon it, she's just a bad match against me
"ᴮʳᵘʰ," said Qian Xin
After we had our fun it was time for us to eat, which I was choosing and my choice restaurant was a Japanese themed restaurant.
The tempura here makes my mouth drool, and it was the same for the two girls as they drool in agreement.
I ordered first to try everything there, thanks to my martial guide I swear I've been eating more than a normal man could.
After shamelessly ordering tons of food and going to our designated seat I got some onlookers at me like there was an event ongoing with all of the food on the table.
"Damn, Damian you… you can finish that?"
"Yea"
I answered Senna's concerned question, well yeah, I can actually. The moment I started eating I saw the elegant manners both are portraying.
Whilst I'm eating like a pig I do have manners, not just on par with Senna and Qian Xin. I wish I was a young master really but that's just wishful thinking in the end. Knowing what I want is my family.
After eating I properly stacked the plates to make it easier for the ones cleaning them.
"wow with all that food you still manage to keep the table clean?"
Qian Xin teasingly asked and in response, I just shrugged.
"Can we wait for like a few minutes?"
The two girls looked at each other then sighed.
"fine," Senna spoke "only three minutes though"
"Aight"
I took out my phone, seemingly new and placed it on the table. I tapped a bit on it and a hologram projects itself before us.
"Is that… "
"Yeah it's 'Interstellar Diary' the best kingdom building game out there"
"Sheesh how developed your channel is?"
Qian Xin inquired but I'm not about to give my coordinates in-game as I removed the coordinates in the settings.
"I saw that! Hahaha!"
"If I get raided I'll go to you first"
I gave her a meaningful glare before continuing what I'm doing in the game. After a few minutes, we finally left the restaurant and made small talk before finally separating ways.
The moment I went back to my dorm I immediately went to bed and lay down.
"ha… "
I let out a sigh and checked my phone.
===
『Supernova』guild had successfully made a branch in Jask!
Reports say that it's thanks to a new potion that they've invested in that their workforce has significantly increased…
===
Red pill inc. It started to get the attention, and the elders of the guild probably started to advertise its uses I guess, Moondrop and Supernova guild has the monopoly on Ready-Made potion, that's probably why they're advertising it.
After reading the news and calling Decker for stock trading I then started listing my schedule of dos.
From the transformation of the mansion, a way to contact Dimitri. Thinking about Dimitri my brows furrowed and my face plastered a frown.
I know who the Guardian Dimitri is with, it's My biological father to my disappointment, Finnegan Cowell. The manipulative and the most hated character of my novel.
I still could see the four notes I have in OS reminding me about Finnegan Cowell. I re-read my notes to not forget a detail when most needed. I can't check the notes if an important character just passes me by. After all, I don't know. So memorizing it is a must for me.
Now back to the topic. Finnegan Cowell, I'm pretty sure he adopted Dimitri possibly because of his green eyes and platinum blonde hair. After all, that's how close a Cassanova you can get at this generation.
Dimitri got on his eyes first rather than me. I clenched my fist, that manipulative person is probably mentally draining Dimitri, my poor cousin.
I let out a sigh, I then dialled my proxy Sophia
—Yes?
"I need some Intel, Can you find where Dimitri Cas– Cowell?"
—Yes…?
"Platinum blonde hair, green eyes and his Guardian is Finnegan Cowell"
—I'll be on it.
"I expect good news"
The call ended and my focus went back to my room as my mind was blank for a moment. I then remembered Jamison Dell, the info I bought finally came in so I decided to use it.
I have to build some safety measures, a way to make sure things won't fall. From guards to make sure that my employees are safe.
I need some trusted talents I could use. Yeah, there's this mana contract anyways betrayal is close to null.
After planning things tonight I quickly put them in effect for over a week, but little to my knowledge as a few of my business enemies started planning behind my back.
