Luck is a Charm

Chapter 218: Rigorous Training

Being kicked out of the mysterious space so suddenly, Zen smiled bitterly at her tsundere behavior.

'Sigh, you are clearly smitten by me yet unwilling to admit it. Some 10,000 years old Sovereign you are,' Zen exclaimed inwardly as he proceeded to sit in a lotus position.

Afterward, he spent the entire night alone, studying the Ice Castle and more magic spells to improve his chance of victory.

By the time morning came, Zen was still busy concentrating until Angela knocked on his door slightly for breakfast.

"Zen, breakfast is ready and Eleanor said if you dared to be late then she would charge you 2,000 spirit stones for spending a night here," Angela shouted, and before she could even continue her words.

The door opened up and Zen dashed downstairs, leaving Angela speechless.

"Why did he suddenly become this agitated?" Angela mumbled softly as she followed behind at a normal pace.

Meanwhile, Zen quickly sat in the chair with heavy panting and Eleanor smiled evilly at him.

"Heh, who would have thought a man like you is merely a stingy person?" Eleanor teased him when she purposely informed Angela to tell him about paying for staying the night if he came late for breakfast.

Zen was rendered speechless when his weakness was found out by everyone.

"Cough, being stingy is better than being a poor person that can't afford anything," Zen explained his reason for his behavior.

However, he only received scorn from Eleanor as she scoffed at him. "Being stingy means living off of someone huh?"

Zen chuckled softly as his shameless scoundrel mode activates. "Well, I basically sold my body to you last night so shouldn't it be a given that I get to live for free?"

"Heh, your shameless scoundrel has improved. You even dared to say it wasn't you who took the full advantage of me." Eleanor laughed as she didn't mind letting others know what they did.

Meanwhile, Zen suddenly felt multiple glares at his back and turned around, only to see a bunch of customers clenching onto their fork.

It was at this time that Zen finally realized that the Palace Moon Restaurant was open today and that he basically exposed himself for enjoying Eleanor's body last night.

"Hmph, the galls of this man just because he managed to have Madam Evie and Princess Krista Dragoon as backers."

"If it weren't for his ridiculous and unique flame, I wanted to go up there and beat him to a pulp."

"You're too generous, I would use his method if I were stronger than him and that is crippling his manhood."

Zen heard the customer's whispering and wanted to head back upstairs already. 

Although they were trash talking and even exclaimed about thrashing him, it was understandable considering his arrogant remark.

"Why didn't you tell me there are many other customers this early in the morning?" Zen whispered softly at Eleanor who was currently busy laughing.

"It's not my fault that someone rushed over here when he heard about having to pay for the room if he was late. Not to mention, there are no concealing formations in here so you should have seen and heard the customers," 

Eleanor shrugged her shoulders as she was not responsible for his current dilemma.

Zen could only cast an illusion barrier around them because he felt many murderous gazes at him and it made him uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Angela arrived at the table and sat down in a chair. 

"Aren't you pretty heartless for leaving me alone upstairs when I was kind enough to inform you about breakfast?" Angela pouted slightly in displeasure, causing Zen to have a headache early in the morning.

Sometime later, once Zen finished breakfast, he stared at Eleanor and asked, "Eleanor, is there any place for me to practice my magic here?"

Eleanor was dumbfounded by his sudden question but nodded her head. 

"You can simply head over to the backyard of the restaurant to train your magic. There is some formation inlay there to prevent any damages so you can practice at your full strength." Eleanor said and pointed her finger at the backdoor.

Zen smiled at her reply and kissed her on the lips softly as thanks. Eleanor didn't mind the kiss as she tried to wrap her arms around his neck but Zen avoided it, causing her to pout slightly.

"Maybe tonight but not now. I want to do some rigorous training to prepare myself for the upcoming mage tournament," Zen smirked as he ran away without giving Eleanor a chance to speak up.

However, Angela suddenly stood up and shouted at Zen before he could open the backdoor, "You forgot about my lips!"

When the customers hear Angela's words, they almost feel like vomiting the food they just ate and wonder if they have some problem.

"Why do all the beauties flock at him whereas we get no beauties?" A customer cried outwardly as he chugged some tea into his throat.

"Sigh, what can we do about this horrendous fate of ours? We're not the protagonist so of course, we don't get beauties at every corner." Another customer complained and everyone nodded their heads in sorrow.

Meanwhile, Zen kissed Angela on the lips despite the gaze of everyone as he patted his head afterward before leaving the scene.

Evie, who was watching from the balcony, shook her head at the current situation. 

"At this rate, my restaurant is going to become empty because of him." Evie sighed softly when she saw many customers calling for the bills to leave.

They were unable to withstand their jealousy anymore yet they had no confidence in trying to make a scene here so they could only choose to leave as a way to escape.

In the backyard, Zen was surprised by the large acre here as he activated the formation and began practicing his Ice Castle and some other magic such as a lightning bolt, javelins, and icicle lance.

The rigorous training has begun but it only lasted for a mere 10 minutes before Zen called it quits since it was boring.
