I Just want a Peaceful life

Just before Angus wanted to hit the boulder, "Stop! Stop!!" yelled Anna frantically.

"Huh?" asked Angus in confusion.

"Are you crazy?!! I know I am crazy, but not that stupidly crazy? Did you want to destroy everything?" said Anna.

"Hmm?? Ohh.. Hahaha… I forget my own current strength." laughed Angus while scratching his back head.

"Well, at least you know the importance of stance." added Angus.

"Hmph! Fine. You win." replied Anna dejectedly.

Then, Angus instructs Anna to make repetition moves along with various stances and positions.

'I know she is talented but isn't she too talented? If I don't know her, I will think she already learned it before or an old expert with years of experience.' thought Angus inwardly.

After instructing Anna for a while, Angus finds Anna picking up the lesson like a sponge. He just teaches her one thing and Anna does five other things. In fact, Angus feels like teaching someone like himself.

However, he knows the difference between her and him. Anna has a ridiculous insight ability that helps her understand Angus' teaching, making her a great learner. Compared to Angus, who could instantly copy and create any skill, she still lacks many things.

"Hmm… Alright, you are doing a good job. I never expect you to be capable of learning all of them in a short time. Just don't forget about it later." said Angus.

"Yeah.. Yeah… Big sister Jayna is supposed to be the nagging one, not you." retorted Anna.

"Hahaha… Alright, now you just need to continue practicing to perfection." laughed Angus at her response.

"What?? That's boring. Couldn't you just teach me your skills?" asked Anna.

"Nope. Every person's martial art is different from one to another. If I teach you more than this, you will never truly bloom. You will become nothing but a mirror of myself." said Angus.

"Still, this repetition training is boring." grumbled Anna.

"Hmm… then, why don't you just copy my skill. I believe you already observe and look at it enough to copy it." said Angus with a teasing smile.

"That's… You know that's impossible!! You are playing with me again. Hmph!!" replied Anna while pouting.

Before Angus could reply, Anna suddenly turned back into her child form. Magically, her clothes are also still intact, unlike before.

"Angus, Anna's stomach is giddy giddy again. Pork Meat!!" exclaimed Anna excitedly.

"Haa… Fine. Let's end it today." replied Angus before walking to Jayna and Brigida.

On the way back to the dining area, "Angus, why did Anna stop you when you tried to hit the boulder with a stance before? I remember nothing dangerous happened when you demonstrated it to me before." asked Jayna.

"Ohh… I forget how much stronger my physical strength is than before." said Angus.

"What will happen if you punch the boulder?" asked Jayna.

"Hmm… I am not sure. But, judging by Anna's reaction, it is possible to destroy the whole fortress or the surrounding." said Angus.

"That's impossible. Even my father couldn't destroy this fortress in one hit and he is specialized in strength." chimed Brigida.

"It's possible." replied Jayna shortly.

"Huh??" asked Brigida in confusion.

"Yes. Theoretically, with a proper stance, you could multiply the power of your attack. In my case, I could multiply it by a million times or so." said Angus casually.

"Million times?!! T-That's absurd. Isn't the highest power you could multiply about a few thousand times?" replied Brigida.

"Yeah. I find that record is stupid and useless. It only recorded fourth-grade people at most and the human race." replied Angus.

"In Firuman, the human race may be one of the races with large populations. But, our combat power is just average compared to others."

"There are still Orc, Goliath, Mer, Dwarf, and not to forget that mighty beastman. It is rumored that they have ten times more physical strength than our own. It is unreasonable to think attack power could only be multiplied by a thousand times at the highest." explained Angus.

"T-That's…" replied Brigida before staying silent.

"Brigida, I don't know what you learn when you are inside Nergal. But you need to keep your mind open to any possibility. Maybe there is a giant or something that could destroy this Fortress by only sneezing." said Angus.

"Angus, stop it. You are going to jinx us." said Jayna while holding Anna.

"But.. that's not imposs…" said Angus.

"Urghh… Stop talking and moves faster!! Anna is hungry! Hungry!!" complained Anna while pouting.

Angus and the others could only laugh at Anna's childish behavior. During the training, Angus also asked a few things about Anna's condition. Apparently, when Anna is in child form, her mind is fuzzy and she can only think of simple stuff.

Even though she still has great insight, she mainly uses it by instinct. Hence, she behaves like a child and only does whatever comes to her mind.

On the other hand, her mind will turn more focused and less fuzzy when she is in adult form. Unfortunately, her adult form is tiring to maintain. As a result, she will only turn her adult form into serious situations or training.

With her incredible insight, Anna knows Angus is the best teacher to teach her about fighting. Even a monkey will recognize him as a great teacher. Although she never officially became Angus' disciple, she knows it would be stupid to not get some teaching from him.

They reunited with the Duchess and a few other nobles during dining time. Most of the other nobles are in fifth grade who are stationed in the fortress. As for Duke Blue and his noble faction, they already join the marching army in the Humnia Grassland.

The only reason the Duchess is not going with the marching army is that it is not necessary. The Duchess Amberblaze will only act as a backup plan in case King Andvari launches a desperate attack.

It also reduces the Duchess from getting sneak attacks while in the marching camp. Although there is favoritism in the play, no one complains about it since everything is planned directly by King Leon.

"I hear you are enjoying your time during your stay here." said Aunt Extalia.

"Thanks to all the ridiculous situations we experienced before, I could finally relax from all that chaotic stuff." said Angus.

"You know we are still in the warfront area, right?" asked Aunt Extalia.

"Nahh… King Andvari will never launch any attack unless he is too stupid and wants mutual destruction." said Angus.

"Interesting. May I know the reason for that, Baron Victory?" asked a person from the side.

"You are?" asked Angus back.

"Ohh.. Pardon my rudeness. My name is Viscount Verner Dewkeep. I hear a lot about you, Baron Victory. So, young yet already famous." replied the person.

"Well, I just got fortunate. Anyway, for your previous question. It is clear that King Andvari is quite an ambitious person from all the past records. King Andvari wants our land and territory rather than the destruction of the Heart Kingdom."

"Otherwise, he could use many other ways to destroy the Heart kingdom with his seventh-grade strength. However, these ways sometimes cost him too many resources and only bring mutual destruction."

"So, we could assume the current King Andvari will definitely try to minimize the damage as much as possible in this situation." explained Angus.

"Hmm… Splendid deduction. As expected of the famous Baron Victory." said another noble in the room.

Before anyone could butter up Angus more, "Meat!! More Meat!!" yelled Anna while getting wiped by Jayna.

The other nobles were surprised at the little girl's eating manner. They already hear rumors about Anna, even her identity as a monster-minded person. But, they had never met her in person before deployed at this Fortress.

All the nobles here are stationed on other borders and have considerable combat power. Moreover, they are not the head family or someone important in their noble family. Therefore, they rarely attend noble gatherings in the capital city.

Hence, they never expect Anna will be this brazen and mannerless when it comes to eating. Still, they didn't say or comment anything about it.

In fact, they were frightened about it. It is not from Anna's dreadful aura but fear of her overprotective guardian (A/N. Only sharp sixth-grade people would notice her dreadful aura.).

The news about Anna is not just about her identity but also about Angus and Jayna, who will always spoil and protect her.

Suddenly, a lot of people came from outside. Soon, the butler and maid holding a tray of food approach Anna. In response, Anna starts drooling from all the food's smell.

"Yay.. Yay… Meat! Hurry! Hurry!! Here!!" said Anna excitedly.

"Anna, don't jump around. You will make a mess." rebuked Jayna gently.

If Anna didn't behave so brazenly without manners, everyone would have felt like seeing a mother give loving care to her child.

"As expected of our number one prodigy, Princess Jayna is truly blessed by heaven." said one of the nobles. (A/N. Only a few people know about Angus' capability in combat).

While the little gluttony globbing the food nonstop, only Angus and Duchess Amberblaze continue their dinner like nothing happened. They were already used to Anna's huge appetite and way of eating.

In fact, they prefer this kind of environment over chatting with the other nobles, riddled with fake smiles and pleasantries.
