Chapter 191: Planning For Training Camps
Chapter 191: Planning For Training Camps
Penny and Ruby accompany the kids after dinner and leave the table while the rest of us were not moving. Even the ghost Sonia is just floating next to the table without saying anything.
"Even if there are no war, we should still teach and train kids so in the future, they will be able to get stronger on their own and survive. We can disguise the training into playing so kids can enjoy them. Lina, how was the project to get the properties of the neighbors to build a park?" I asked Lina.
"Well, it's going well. Maybe in a few weeks, all the neighbors will leave. We can start building the park after that."
"Good. Victoria, does your world has something that we can put in the park to help improve their physical abilities?" This time, I asked Victoria.
"Yes. There are several of them. And there are some sports that kids might enjoy. I'll tell you when we started the project." Victoria said.
"Okay. I never thought that we would have a serious discussion just because I accepted a disciple. Any questions?"
Surprisingly, it was Angela who has some question.
"Is physical strength the most important thing?" She asked.
I smiled hearing that question. Of course the answer is obvious.
"The answer is no. The most important thing is survival. Destroying the cult and everything else comes next. Everyone has different type of body. Some needs a long time to gain strength, and some only need a few weeks. Improving your body's strength is just another mean for survival. If you feel like it's less important for your survival, then you are free to not train your body. There are many other ways to survive, like asking for help, let other people do the fighting and run away, and for Angela, I think it's best if you concentrate in your magic. I want to train the kids physical strength so they have another means of survival before they learn magic." I explained.
"Good. Then I won't join you guys tomorrow. I'll just continue what I'm doing. Cultivating, and practice my magic." Angela said.
"Hey! Everyone can decide what they want to do, but how about we did a training camp every few months or so? Then we can see how each other's progresses are. We have two years after all. I don't want to spend two whole years just by training. We can also take the kids for a vacation as well. Maybe finding a huge empty island, or we can ask Albert if he has any private lands somewhere."
Victoria suggested something good. This way, we have something to look forward to. I agree instantly with her idea.
"That's a good idea! We can also invite Albert as well. And he will be the one to pay the expenses!" I proclaimed.
Unfortunately, Albert will return to the capital right away after he finished taking care of his business in Melk. So, he won't return to Cassau.
As for Marie, before we returned to Cassau, she already returns to the capital with Alan. Ruby said that she wanted to stay for a while longer with Lana, but she can't because the royalties can't leave the capital for too long. So, she returned with her trusted guards who already knows that she came here to meet her daughter. If we tell her about our training camp, she will most likely agree so she can meet with Lana. So, I told Sonia to relay the message to Marie.
We're taking care of Lana quite well. And when I say we, I mean Penny and Ruby. I heard that they became closer with Marie during her stays in Cassau. It's good to have royalties as friend, right?
Now the mood has become better. We no longer talk about the future where the kids will fight, but we focused on the training camps. Where should we go, what should we bring, and many other things they wanted to do for the vacation.
It's good to have Victoria with us. Thanks to her, we have something to look forward to.
After that, Jewel returned carrying some of her belonging with her. Lina then guide her to her room. We have a new member in the family, I guess.
There's one other person. Kron.
He wanted to join the clan when it's built, but he won't stay in this place. He stays in an inn nearby and said that he will go on a training alone. So I taught him about magic control so he can get stronger. Will he join our training tomorrow?
We chatted quite a while until late and we finally returned to our own room. And of course, Sophie wanted to sleep with me like usual. She usually wanted to sleep with me once or twice a week whenever she feels lonely.
Seeing Sophie enters my room, Victoria choose to sleep in her own room. I guess I can't sleep on Blobbybed tonight.
As we were laying on the bed, Sophie asked me something.
"Hey, Roy."
"Hmm? What is it?"
"Knowing that children will grow up during war time, don't you want children of your own?" Sophie asked. I know where this is going.
"I want to have children. Lots of them. But not now. There are too many things to do. Maybe in a few years."
"Hmm… I see…"
"Well, I'm fine with doing the deeds though."
I said as I kiss her and hug her.
We only fell asleep late in the night.
Did we do it? We did it! Huehehehe. She took my first time in my second life.
But what about pregnancy?
There's a contraceptive potion that makes women unable to get pregnant after they did the deeds. It only works within 24 hours after drinking it. Sophie already drunk it before she enters my room. I didn't peek on her. She told me about it after we did it.
When morning comes, Sophie who usually woke up later than me already left the room. Since everyone wanted some privacy in this house, I usually refrain to use my Divine Vision to peek on them. Usually doesn't mean always, and this is the unusual time when I used it.
I saw Sophie is in Kayla's room, with Kayla, Victoria, and Candy. What are they discussing about?
Since it's those four, maybe it's about me. Or is it that Sophie is telling the others about what we did?
When the breakfast is done and everyone is in the dining hall, I see those four coming together. Though Kayla's and Candy's face are beet red. I think I know what Sophie told them.
As for Victoria, she looks pretty normal. Well, she doesn't have internal organ like that of human. She's just transformed into a human body, but her internal organ is still that of a slime. Well, slime doesn't have any internal organs. At least Black Slime doesn't. So I don't know if she's blushing as well or not.
After breakfast, it was Sophie said something.
"Roy. How about we tell Jewel everything?"
"Hmm? Are you sure?"
"Yes. I think it's better if she knows about it early. Since she is your disciple, you should trust her more. I think she can be trusted." Sophie said.
"I agree. You also thought it's better to have more allies and friends, right?" Kayla said.
"Hmm? What is it? What are you talking about?" Jewel asked. It's praiseworthy that she doesn't shout anymore.
So I start telling her everything.
"So, Jewel… the truth is… I came from the future."
The first thing that I told her is the fact that I came from the future. I also told her about the cult, their evil plans, and that everything we have been doing is to prevent that to happen and to destroy them.
After I told her everything, her brain seems to freeze as she seems to be unable to close her mouth.
"EEEH! MASTER CAME FROM THE FUTURE!? AND SHIRLEY IS A PRINCESS!? THAT BABY IS THE KING'S DAUGHTER!? YOU'RE TRYING TO SAVE THE WORLD!?"
I guess the shock is really big if she returned to her ways of talking. I mean shouting.
"Don't shout so loud! We wanted it to be a secret, you idiot disciple!" I scolded Jewel.
"I mean, aren't you amazing, Master? You can make the king trust you and even let his own daughter to be raised by you? I don't know about the cult, but I will do anything I can help with the war! The war might still be far away, but by that time, I will be a disciple you can be proud of!" Jewel proclaimed.
"That's good. But don't you think you can easily change the volume of your voice so easily? Didn't you say that it's difficult to adjust it last night?"
"I'm in too much shock and awe after hearing Master's achievement that I speak normally. This happened every time I heard something shocking." Jewel said.
"Aaah… this girl is weird. Well, since you've heard everything, is there any questions you want to ask?"
"Yes! Can I be Aura user as well? There's still another year before I can go to school and manifest my magic, so I wanted to have another power like Master's"
Hmm… I wanted to teach other as well, but to see other people's potential of becoming an Aura user, I have to pour my Aura inside their bodies. Victoria said that my control isn't that good to do that yet and I might kill other people just by doing that, so I don't know if Jewel has potential or not. But I guess I can just train her body harder.
"I don't know if you can do it or not, but if you want, I'll make your training even harder. Don't expect too much though." I said to Jewel.
"It's fine! I'll do my best! Even if I can't become an Aura user, I can just my magic in the future!"
It's great to have a motivated disciple. I wonder how strong she will become in the future. Will she be as strong as Angela in my past life? I hope so.
