Upon feeling one of Lothur's hands holding her waist, Viktoria almost lost her temper and slapped him.

However, due to this young man's particular circumstances, she did nothing for the moment but avoid falling into his arms, as he seemed to want to.

"You must have had your brain damaged by Annaliese if you think I will sleep with you!"

"What's wrong with us sleeping together? I'm already in your bed, and even if I wanted to try something, I couldn't..." He said in a low voice, looking intensely into her eyes.

"Dream on!"

"Hehe, apparently, you don't intend to keep me around for long?" He asked as he made a funny expression. "Too bad. And I thought this would become my new normal..."

"Tsk!"

"I will keep an eye on you during the nights until I understand what happened with Annaliese and you. After that, you will go back to your room."

"But don't think I will let you lie in my bed again!"

"That was your only chance because of your injuries." So, she got up from that place and walked to where she was meditating earlier.

"Oh? All right then..." He laughed softly, not continuing his provocations.

After some time in silence, he thought of something and said. "Viktoria, I feel like I'm not fully recovered, so I'll stay the next three days around here."

Her eyes widened in surprise at that comment. "Not fully recovered? That doesn't seem to be true."

"Do you think such a quick recovery comes without cost? I may look fine on the outside, but I'm still weakened!" He lied.

"Besides, I'll only miss one day of classes since we have the weekend ahead of us."

In Concordia, the weeks were more or less like those on earth, but there were 13 months and only 4 weeks a month in this world.

Anyway, during Saturdays and Sundays, many organizations in this world functioned differently as most of their members were usually mortals who needed rest.

But this went beyond mortals. Even cultivators appreciated the idea of weekends. After all, having a day off could be the lifeline for many people to cultivate, train their techniques, or even do a side job.

The human calendar in this world has been operating in this manner for a long time. Because of this, the concept of weekends had become so ingrained in this society that even the Morning Star Academy did not usually operate on Saturdays and Sundays.

Any student could have access to that academy building on weekends. Still, there were no classes or teachers to attend them.

And knowing that today was Friday, and he did not have much to do in that place, Lothur wanted to use that excuse to finish learning the two combat techniques he had left.

He already had in mind to seek revenge against the people who beat him up before but to do this, he first had to learn more about how to act in fights.

On the other hand, he wanted to start working on his position in the student rankings of that academy to get perhaps more benefits that could help him become stronger.

His predecessor was not a person who cared much about serious matters in this world. Still, even that person knew that cultivation resources could be more valuable than talent.

Considering this, he did not underestimate the potential of cultivation resources just because of his enviable characteristics. No, it would be foolish not to use all the options in his path!

"So? You don't see a problem with that, right?" He leaned on that bed and looked at her.

"Sigh..."

"Fine, but stay here in my area. I don't want you walking around the property while you're injured." She said in defeat, feeling that he was not being sincere but that it was best to keep him out of trouble for the time being.

If he were indeed weakened, then it would not be good for her to allow him to show himself vulnerable to potential trouble!

"Hehe, you truly are empathetic..."

...

After a few hours, Viktoria had left Lothur in her area alone while she went about her daily business.

In the meantime, this young man finally finished learning the basics of his first defensive technique.

[Steel Body] [Rank: Iron]

[Mastery level: Beginner]

[Effect: +10% CON]

Lothur saw the system message appearing in front of him as he felt each of his muscles become much more resilient.

At the same time, as he looked at the fingers of his hand, he felt as if his skin had become thicker, although visually, it looked the same as before that technique's activation.

On the other hand, the pain he was feeling during the training of this technique suddenly diminished, as if his resistance to pain had also increased.

'Amazing!'

'Is this how cultivators feel?' He opened his hands while still looking down and smiling. 'What an addictive feeling!'

"The cultivation world is truly amazing!" He muttered in a low voice.

Meanwhile, the system messages appeared for him again.

[+0.1 in all physical attributes.]

[+0.1 in WIL.]

[+0.2 in CON.]

...

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

[Physique: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger]

[Bloodline: ****]

[Cultivation: level 2]

[STR: 3.4] [CON: 3.3] [DEX: 3] [AGI: 5.1]

[INT: 30] [PER: 11] [WIL: 40.1]

...

After seeing this, a broad smile appeared on Lothur's face as he rested on the ground of the outside training place of his wife's residence area, happy with his progress.

But as he did this for a few moments, he finally got up and went to the side of a small table, where there was a transparent jug with ice water.

Glub! Glub! Glub!

"Ahh!" He opened his mouth and exclaimed, feeling the coolness of that liquid relieving the heat of his training.

After that, he retrieved the previously purchased weapon from his spatial ring, intent on starting to train his attack technique.

[Common Double Ax] [Classification: Iron]

[Feature: increases the user's attack power by 10%.]

[Reminder: it weighs 100 kilograms.]

Seeing that message appearing after a metallic-red ax with two blades, one large and one smaller, appeared in his hands, Lothur smiled as he felt the weight of this weapon.

But as a 2nd Transformation cultivator, this was not much for him. In fact, as his Strength was already over 3, lifting this item was relatively easy for him.

It was not so easy that he did not even notice without exerting force to manipulate it. Still, it was enough for him to play with such an item without exhausting himself with just a few movements.

As he felt the muscles in his right arm contracting due to that weapon, Lothur made a few movements with it. Yet, realizing how ridiculous he was, this young man laughed and dropped that item to the ground.

'I'd better start learning the basics of the Art of Tearing Down Trees...' He thought about that when the memory crystal of that technique appeared in his hand.

After that, he quickly understood how to begin his training, something that not coincidentally required him to cut down trees to learn.

"Sigh..."

'Looks like I'll have to talk to someone about that.' He looked toward the exit door of that area, remembering that Annaliese was supposed to be in prison in her residence.

And so, he totally ignored his wife's orders, heading toward his sister-in-law's place.

...

Pa! Pa!

When he reached the other side of the corridor of that area where Viktoria's residence was, Lothur knocked twice on the front door of Annaliese's residence.

But after a few moments of waiting, all he heard was a hoarse voice asking who it was.

"Who is it? Don't you know that my parents have forbidden me to have visitors?" Annaliese's frail voice sounded from behind that door.

"Anna, open the door. It's me, Lothur." He said this without much concern, thinking that the problem of the previous night was more insignificant than these people were considering.

Gulp!

Upon hearing that, that woman's eyes opened wide as her heart began to beat faster and guilt flooded her mind.

"Lothur..." She murmured, with tears already watering her eyes. "Lothur, you'd better go. I shouldn't see you now..."

"Anna, open the door."

...
