I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 11: Real Training

"A-Angus, are you also staying here?" Called one of the girls with black hair.

"Oh.. isn't that Millie? Yes, I also stay here. So, did you know what happen here?" Replied Angus

At this moment, Ian and Jayna look at the incoming person but seeing the person is Angus, they ignore him before glaring with each other again.

"Hmph.. You just got lucky this time, commoner." Said Jayna leaving to her room.

"What did you say?! Did you think I was afraid of you?" Replied Ian ready to launch at her.

Looking like they are almost starting to fight for real, Mia begins to drag Jayna to her room while the other boy holds Ian.

Then, Millie explains the situation to Angus. Apparently, Jayna wants to fully occupy the dorm for the girls only and try to drive Ian and the other boys out of the dorm.

Then, the moment Angus comes into this dorm, Jayna seems to reluctantly accept the boys living at the dorm since she didn't want to have trouble with the sons of Duke Victory.

Hearing this Angus thought inwardly, 'Damn, to think I got a sexist as my dorm mate. But, none of it matters anyway.'

"Tch… What so great about being the princess?" Said Ian while he goes toward his own room.

"Well, since the matter is already solved, I will also excuse myself. By the way my name is Axel Pomel. I hope we can get along with the son of Duke Victory during our stay in the Spring Dorm." Said one of the boys that was just holding Ian back.

"Just call me Angus, I hope so too. Anyway, Nice to see you again, Millie." As Angus also goes towards his room on the second floor.

The dorm looks quite small at the outside but inside of it there is quite spacious as each room is enchanted with some magic and reinforced with certain strong barriers.

Entering his room, he found a double bed, wardrobe, and few support furniture here and there. Combined with decoration around the room, make the room look like royalty than normal nobles.

'Well, at least I know why it's called a luxury dorm. Now, let's begin the plan.' As Angus undressed his clothes.

Then, he looks at his host chart panel

Host: Angus Victory

Age: 8 Years Old

MP: 10/10

Strength: 3

Dexterity: 3

Intelligence: 4

Vitality: 6

Soul Point: 31

Then, he increases his vitality into 9 and his Intelligence into 7 and leaves his Soul point by one. At this moment, he feels really reinvigorated and his mind becomes more clear.

Since Angus already created a persona as a weak person, now he finally could train his body properly and increase his strength.

Like the wise man said, the best weapon is deceitfulness. Although Angus' real goal is to enjoy living in peace but to achieve it he also needs power to stay alive.

During his private lesson with Andria, he knows that to survive in this world the one that only matters is personal strength.

Even though Angus didn't agree with this kind of law, he still needed to abide it some way. At least he needs strength to protect himself and his loved one.

Angus increases his vitality to increase his chance to survive from unexpected situations. While increasing his intelligence is to have a better processing mind, good memory, and understanding anything better.

Angus planned to create a persona that is weak but knowledgeable. So, Angus needed high intelligence at least until he could become people with eidetic memory. Moreover, he also could cast spells faster in some emergency situations.

He found that the weakness of a powerful spell is the time to cast it, otherwise all high grade magicians are the same like mass destruction weapons that could destroy a kingdom or country in the blink of an eye as long as they have enough mana.

The reason Angus didn't increase his strength and dexterity is because he knows how to increase it in a faster way. Moreover, the increase from using the soul point feels unnatural and needs more time to adjust the body itself.

As someone that is a master of martial art, he will choose a weak body that he has 100% of control over a stronger body that he could not control.

It is not because a stronger body doesn't have any advantage, it is because a body with 100% control could utilize his past skill more effectively despite being weak.

His skill could bring his weakness to produce such devastating attacks that few could block. The real example is when Angus tries to run from the Andria test. It may seem that he got away with luck but actually all the movement already in his control.

Using this as an example, he didn't want to increase his strength and dexterity until his limit or in some emergency situation. Moreover, by utilizing his current vitality, he could also have more endurance to handle his hard training.

Done inspecting his body, he begins his training by doing some weird stretching pose for various amounts of time. He combined each movement with pressing his acupuncture point.

After doing this for a few minutes, he was already sweating like crazy with rough breathing. But, he forcefully continued and also changed his breathing rhythm.

Changing his breathing rhythm makes him almost suffocate and in need of air. Fortunately, his nine points of vitality helped to endure this kind training for a few hours before he stopped as he didn't have strength to move anymore.

But, even in this position he still forces himself to practice different breathing rhythms. At this moment, he sees that both his strength and dexterity already increase into five from the training he did.

Since his body is quite weak the moment he does the training, the result is also significant compared if he is doing it at the latter. He believes at that time he will need help from his soul point to increase his stat.

As for his mana point itself already increased to 15. Angus forced himself to keep practicing his breathing rhythm that not only almost suffocated himself but also increased his body endurance and absorbed chi from the surrounding.

However, since there is no chi in this world the one he absorbed is mana. Although, the effect is the same but the result is different. Since mana is easier to control than chi on his past life, he could gather and refine it more easily.

In the past he needs a whole day of using breathing technique just to increase the same amount of mana he gathers now.

The gathered mana itself is in a different location from the chi, the gathered mana is located at the heart while chi in around the abdomen. He also read in the books that this gathered mana will soon form mana core after reaching a certain threshold.

This kind of threshold is different from one person with the others. From his research there is a lot of technique to form mana core faster but all of them have high risk and leaving hidden danger towards the user.

Angus also didn't find any technique like his breathing technique that is quite safe to gather mana, refine it, and increase one's endurance at one time. But, he knew someone in the world must also have a technique similar to his breathing technique.

Since it is an absurd rare technique, he will not teach it to others as his goal is to have an enjoyable peaceful life not create another army that will take over the world.

Otherwise, he already teaches it to his family about such a technique. Still the technique is such a torture at first since he feels like being drowned and could only have a small air every few second before being drowned again.

Soon, Angus passed out from fatigue while forcefully using his breathing technique.
