Chương 37: Body Strengthening

"If you want to live a carefree life, Go on your way. I won't stop you." Kent said seriously and walked out of the pond.

For the last half an hour, he has tried to communicate with the Fire Kirin. But the Fire Kirin continued to play in the water and ignored Kent completely.

Kent tried all the methods he could think of. The Fire Kirin splashed his face with water and waggled its tail in a mocking manner.

Fed up with Kirin's playful behavior, Kent left the pond and began walking towards the town.

The seventh witch, Mohini, did not understand what was happening. "Why is he walking alone without taking his pet?" she muttered in a confused state.

After walking for five minutes, Kent came out of his frustration. He took out a bronze coin and waited for the pet taxi.

Soon, an old man landed before him on a house eagle. He stared at Kent from head to toe, as Kent is all wet because of pond water.

Ignoring the old man's cold glare, he occupied the back seat and said, "Commercial Street... Hanging Pearl Palace."

The old man sighed and guided his pet into the sky. Mohini followed Kent from the clouds on her black, fiery serpent. She also ignored the Fire Kirin, which is still playing in the pond water.

The doors of the hanging pearl palace opened automatically for Kent. The old pet rider stared at this scene with a wide, open mouth.

Even though the palace is neatly decorated with all types of luxuries, paintings, and special features, Kent did not have the mood to appreciate his new home. He went directly to the spa room and immersed himself in the warm solution.

He tried to calm down and control his thoughts. But the situation with Fire Kirin did not let him rest peacefully.

Kent finished his bath quickly and wore a new set of clothes. As he couldn't stay peaceful at home, he took a pet taxi and went to school.

Ignoring the surprised gazes of the disciples, he went directly to the training grounds.

"Elder, pass me the key for a solo Aura chamber." Kent asked the old elder, who sat leisurely before the training grounds.

"Show me your disciple token and submit 15 bronze coins." The elder spoke lazily while picking up a small key stone from the table drawer.

Kent placed his 6th-grade Magus token and 15 bronzes on the table. After verifying the identity and collecting the coins, the old elder passed a red key stone.

"Room no. 17" The elder replied and immediately closed his eyes for sleep.

Ignoring the elder's lazy attitude, Kent reached room number 17 and closed the door. Except for the dim light rays, there is no other light source.

Kent took out the personal letter sent by his aunt and immersed himself in the process of strengthening his body.

After consuming one of the fifteen aromatic medicinal pills sent by his aunt, Kent closed his eyes and concentrated on absorbing the potent medicinal energy into his body.

Mohini, the new protector of Kent, turned herself into an owl by using her witch magic and began observing the silver-leaf city. She is trying to note down possible dangers and strong wizards in the city. Her fiery snake pet turned into a black silkworm and hid in the feathers of owl.

Within half an hour, she finished scanning the entire city and landed on the Sky family school's training ground in her owl form.

"Shhh, it's too boring." She muttered while staring at Kent, who is seriously meditating inside the aura chambers.

The black silk worm that hid in the feathers came out after hearing the weak tone of its master.

"Master, why not play with these young disciples? They seem very immature. If you give me one chance, I will definitely give you a good show to watch." The black silkworm replied with a giggling laughter.

Mohini scoffed after hearing her pet's confident tone. "Hey Lambu, stop daydreaming and behave yourself. I know what you are planning behind my back. Don't even think of beating these little kids to show off."

The black silk worm put on a pitiful face and replied, "Master, you have completely misunderstood my good intentions. How can I, the mighty leader of the black serpent race, think of such lowly means?"

Mohini turned her head and gave a mean look to Lambu, (her black, fiery serpent pet.) "Stop your boasting. If your father hears what you just said, he will lock you in the dark chambers for 100 years."

Lambu became dead silent after hearing his father's name. The scene of his childhood nightmares resurfaced in his brain.

For the next few hours, Mohini sat patiently in the same position while staring at Kent. The small quarrels happening between disciples and the nasty affairs going on inside the school campus did not attract her attention.

"I can't stay like this forever. I must at least think of ways to help young master Kent without interfering with his aura cultivation."

Mohini thought seriously for the next one hour about where she could help Kent.

"Master, what are you thinking so seriously?" Lambu asked curiously.

"Nothing much. I just want to help young master Kent, in other ways without interfering his aura cultivation." Mohini replied lazily while staring into the horizon.

A wide grin formed on Lambu's silkworm face. "Master, I have a brilliant idea. The Fire Kirin seems to defy the young master, Kent. Why not educate it properly and make it obedient to the young master?" Lambu suggested with a proud look.

After thinking for a bit, Mohini felt it was really a good thing to educate the Fire Kirin for Kent. "Okey, it seems like a good idea. Let's go." Mohini said while getting ready to fly.

"Master… master…" Lambu called hurriedly, blocking Mohini from taking flight.

"What?" Mohini asked with an irritating look.

"Why are you wasting your energy on such a simple task? Your mighty self must not indulge in such small activities. Let me complete this small task for you." Lambu asked with a serious face while hiding his mischievous smile.

Even though Mohini already knew that Lambu is planning to show off before the Fire Kirin, Mohini agreed to its request. "Okay, be gentle with it."

Lambu's eyes lit up like fire crackers after hearing Mohini's words. Without wasting another second, he flew high into the sky with an excited face. After Lambu left, Mohini sat alone on the school roof, staring at Kent.

On the other hand, Kent felt a visual change happening in his body after absorbing the medicinal power from the body strengthening pills sent by his aunt.

Kent thought his skin would become tough with a coarse and ruff texture. But his skin became very smooth, with a milky white glow.

Instead of leaving the aura room, he began consolidating the 8th Magus Chakra compartments.

"There are only five days left for the competition. I must hurry and learn archery with good techniques to at least give a tough fight for my opponents." Kent muttered in a determined tone.
