Chapter 201 - Begin.
The video call finished with Feng Yun telling him she will dispatch two teams, one responsible for establishing the village complex and the other one to get the people integrated with the helping hand office.
Yang Dao was happy that his promise can be kept. WHAT A JOKE? Will the phoenix let some nobody bandit look down on her young master? To hell with the system. She had so much money that she was the system and all this was for her Young Master.
The things were done, and the boy was tired from the two days of cycling. Then he went inside a guest room Mina had arranged for him. The mansion was huge, so was the room. It had a floor-to-ceiling vacuum glass wall for the view outside. The two bikes of his were parked inside the room with stands. The silence was even thoroughly cleaned.
Yang Dao went inside the bathroom, took a warm shower, cleaned off the dust, shampooed his dusty hair, and came out in nightwear. He did not go out to eat food. Climbed onto the bed and fell asleep.
The little sylph was still inside his hair. She woke up for the time the boy was bathing and waited for him to come out. Thanks to her, Yang Dao can say goodbye to using a hairdryer. The boy was so tired that he slept straight from noon to morning the next day.
The next morning, he woke up when someone knocked on his door. He said, “Coming.”
He stretched his body and then walked up to the door. The door was opened and outside stood Ayaka, dressed in her coaching dress. She said, “Dao, get ready, we are beginning.”
The boy nodded and after a quick shower, he changed his clothes into sports ones. A servant took his blue bike outside. He himself was guided to the dining hall. It was only now that the Dao Child noticed the decoration of the mansion. It was filled with antiques. Some of them were even so nice that he even stopped for a few seconds to appreciate them.
The whole club was gathered at the dining table. Yang Dao greeted them and sat down on the chair designated for him. Then he chowed down. The people were used to this. Yang Dao ate with no hesitation. His speed was fast, yet he was mindful of his table manners.
After they were done loading their stomachs, they all came outside. Ayaka waited for them by an off-road jeep. She said, “We will ride in a marathon, patron. Six hours straight. Maintain an average speed of 30 kph. Ride in two groups. Thomas will lead the senior years, while Yang Dao and Icarus will be led by the second years.
No passing is allowed. Dao, you need to learn how to ride together with the group. Okay?”
The boys nodded and yelled, “Yes, Coach Gust.”
Ayaka smiled and said, “Let’s go. Follow the car.”
She went and sat down in the back of the open head jeep. She had few water bottles inside the back stored in the way. The boys all got on the bikes and they followed the jeep. The speed was steady and the two groups worked well with each other. Today the morning was filled with cold gusts. Ayaka was wearing the fur coat arranged by the Orlenko house. The boys wore skivvies under their jerseys and shorts. The fabric could give them some warmth.
Icarus said, “It is hard to ride here.”
A second-year senior said, “Indeed, that is the training. Come on do not relax. Use a higher gear, save yourself from extra movement. The more you move, the more oxygen you need. The air is thinner here.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Icarus nodded and raised his gear. Yang Dao did the same. Suddenly he heard a sweet voice in his ears, “Master, sushi is cold.”
The sylph woke up. They can converse with each other using their mind, so, the boy asked, “You feel cold?” he was confused about how could a wind spirit feel cold. They were blessed creatures, right?
The tiny girl chuckled, “Of course, you see, that person is wearing such a pretty coat, Sushi also wants that.” turns out she felt cold because she liked the coat.
Yang Dao almost laughed out loud. He calmed down and said, “I will get you some later, Okay?
“I knew it, Master is the best.” she said as she flew around his head in circles.”
The people kept on riding for an hour in the valley that was relatively flat. Ayaka said, “Ray, Dao, switch to drafting, carry your teams up the mountains.”
Yang Dao was using his blue bike because he would ride that one in the tournament race. He came to the front of the team but did not start drafting immediately. He said, “Sync up with me as much as possible.”
Icarus nodded and said, “Okay,” then he and the other two people synced up with him. What he wanted was for these people to match his pace, movement, and breathing pace. This way they will climb faster and more efficiently.
After a minute, the four guys climbed. A second-year said, “Dao, be sure to regulate the pace as we progress.”
The boy replied, “Yes, Senior.” and they kept climbing the cold barren mountains.
…
Orlenko’s house, the old lady at this moment, was sitting in the gym in the mansion. She was watching Sasha and Kiya working out. Kiya had been here a few times and the old lady like this girl as much as she liked her own granddaughter.
Mina Orlenko came in as well, wearing a tight-fit sports jumpsuit. The Old Lady asked, “Mine, what do you think of that boy?”
Mina sighed and said, “I almost doubted my entire existence during the video call yesterday. This guy has so much talent. Also, Sasha told me, he is also a part of the army. So, he is quite amazing for his age.”
The old lady smiled and said, “I must have him as my Grandson-in-law. This is final.” Mina shook her head and went to work out. Her mother was a hopeless subject only her elder brother, Sasha’s father, can deal with her.
