Chapter 149: Stalking?
Division-1
"Old Man, don't you think it's a bit unfair?"
"Come on Brat, I know how much you caused problems within four days since you entered the Main Branch" An old man with white hair and wrinkles on his face; wearing a blue robe said.
"And Here I was thinking you missed me, 'sigh'" Eli said as shook his head and pulled out Ember.
"'snort', Come on the brat, don't make my wait...'ssowshh'
'Ting'
..anymore" The old man snorted as swung his weapon which was Lithe/Kyoketsu-shoge.
Eli swiftly used Ember and made it collide with another weapon.
"Hmm..Hmm" The old man nodded and "Seems like you master the weapon".
"I am born for this, you know?"
'Snort' Seeing his narcissistic attitude the old man snorted though his lips were turned upward.
The old man shifted his body to the side and swung diagonally. Eli simply swung vertically to collide with it.
However, the moment it collides a sharp shot towards his eyes. Eli was not surprised as he pulled the Ember and with a single whip to the chains of the opponent's weapons waved and slumped on the ground.
"It seems you mastered the technique even though you modified the weapon" The old man said as he pulled the chain....one end of the chain was a ring-like structure while another sharp small sword with an arc-shaped knife was attached to it.
"Let's increase the difficulty" The old man said with a sinister smile and swung his sharp end fast as his body shifted.
'Ting'
Eli managed to react to the sudden speed, however, like before the old man didn't retract he changed its trajectory in the middle and with a single whip he again slashed.
'Ting'
Eli knew this would happen so swung the Ember in a rotation motion and twisted his wrist to gain enough force to repel the incoming attack.
However, it didn't stop, the old man used the same technique again and again in every possible vital part of Eli's body.
'Ting, Ting, Ting'
Eli who used his left hand until now started to use the two hands and his moments became fluid and natural.
"Impressive, within 4 months he almost reached the Mastery Level" The old man muttered as he used the ring end to capture Eli's hand however, it was simply diverted by the chains of his weapon.
'To think he you the use chains...hehe...hehe' The old man giggled thinking of his future Son-in-Law who surely surpasses him with enough time.
"Even now, If she didn't like him in the end....I would literally betrothal him to my granddaughters....There is no way I going to miss this man' The old man thought as he looked in a certain direction before focusing on Eli.
"Rock, I am getting serious" Eli said with trembling lips as if to hide his enthusiasm.
"Oh!-" The Old Man or Rock whose thoughts were abruptly stopped when he heard Eli's word.
Just about to reply when Rock's pupils diluted upon seeing the Ember was about to cut his eyes.
Without agitation, Rock simply shot the ring end to divert, however, the moment the ring hit the tips of Ember suddenly changed wrapped around the ring and single jerk, Eli immediately pulled it.
"Tang"
With a sudden pull, Rock stumbled a little using this opportunity, Eli ran towards him as he twisted his and forced the Ember in his hands and slashed vertically at the Rock using the velocity and momentum of his body.
Hoping to end, however, Rock simply threw the ring at the incoming while throwing the other sharp end towards Eli with high speed.
"..." Eli was unprepared for this sudden, however, his mind was still calm and calculated in his mind.
Soon he found, he changed the trajectory of his Ember and wrapped the chains and whipped it.
'tuunnnggg'
With enough force, the waves spread through the chains and it finally diverted from the aim.
"Tsk" Rock visibility clicked his tongue in annoyance and, "Then how about it thiiiss?" he shouted as he warped Eli's right dominant hand with a ring part and threw a knife straightly at Eli's chest.
"Tiiingg"
"Tsk, Seems like you improved too much.....Monster" Rock said with dissatisfaction when he saw Eli throw his Ember in exactly the same trajectory as Rock's which resulted in the collision of tips at the exact sharp end....However, Rock was grinning happily inside.
'Damn girl, you must marry him at any cost' Rock promised himself to persuade his daughter at any cost if not then he just goes for this granddaughter....no way in hell, he misses this Jem.
'pant'
'pant'
Eli panted heavily as he sat down for a bit..... They fought only by skill, so he didn't use his technique.
After yesterday, Eli was a little unstable because his cute wife didn't come and he tried to contact Adriana, however, she didn't pick up his call.
Frustrated he slept lonely because Scylla already informed him she would be training in her room after lunch.
He only hugged the pitiful cat who was fuming with anger inwardly. This morning he woke up a little unstable so he decided not to attend class thinking someone provoke him and he might kill him ruthlessly so he decided to visit certain someone.
As for Scylla...well, she couldn't because, unlike Eli who was literally rich in every department, Scylla was not, If she wanted to study in the same class as Eli then she must attend the class.
Leaving all alone, he even asked Prisania to tag along however, she said Scylla gave her a task.
With that, he picked a small creature who was stubbornly refusing to come and left the home along with it.
Upon arriving the Division-1, he visited Rock...however, Eli didn't expect that damn old man to scoff at his greetings and lead him to the training ground and started a fight before Eli could understand what was happening.
"You really are good, brat" Rock said as he gave a hand and inwardly, 'Here I was thinking of giving him some wisdom....sigh, I don't know whether to envy him or be happy that he mastered our family's treasure without any guidance just like me'.
"..." Eli grabbed the hand and said with a smirk, "Didn't I?" while Rock pulled to him to stand up.
"So?" Eli asked as if 'Why are we doing this in the first place?'
"....Well, My daughter already told me everything about you and you are certainly infamous here before, so I wanted to check how much you improved" Rock said seriously.
"Hmm?" Eli raised his eyebrows upon hearing Rock's daughter already told him about Eli.
However, instead of asking who it was? Eli asked with a little sceptical,
"So, do you still think I am good?"
"...." Rock's wrinkled eyebrows furrowed for a second and answered,
"I am...but in the end, it depends on my daughter"
"Oh!" Eli was simply amazed by Rock's thinking. Eli really wanted to ask, 'Are you sure you aren't interested in me, not your daughter?' however he shut up his damn mouth.
Instead,
"So, should I woo her or something?" Eli wasn't an idiot to think Rock would let him go after giving him Rock's family Manual.
Hearing that, Rock's eyes twitched...even though he wanted to marry her daughter to him... still hearing 'woo' her by any other man really irked him just like any father.
With a strained smile, Rock answered, "There is no need, She said she was watching you...so she will decide whether you are good or not".
"..." Eli frowned a bit but shrugged it off and asked, "What's her name?".
"She said that she would introduce herself in the future" Rock answered immediately as if he was prepared beforehand.
"....You do-"
Before could say anything, Rock interrupted,
"She has been following you and wanted to see what kind of man before moving forward"
"..." There was a hint of shock in Eli's face, 'I am being stalked!!!'.
Seeing his expression,
Rock smiled and said, "Don't worry, she was indeed a good girl....I guess?"
"....."
After a few more exchanges decided to leave.
As soon as Eli left,
"Seriously, Never I thought, he would master this Level within four months.....haaa, Youngsters are sure to surpass the old like me" Rock smiled nonchalantly.
"Come out My dear, He already left, You can reveal yourself now" Rock said with an awkward smile.... thinking his daughter may be too shy to interact with men.
"..." A silhouette appeared.
*****
"Master, Master...Please!~Nya"
"You will get fat, you know?"
"No, No~Nya, I want it now....Head Maid never give us anything~Nya"
"Sigh, give me that Madam" Eli brought two dried fish and handed them to the cat who was sitting on his shoulder.
"Thank You~Nya, Master" The cat said as she munched hungrily.
Seeing this cute reaction, Pedestrians smiled warmly.
'Cute!....if no one knows who she was' Eli thought as he started to walk towards a certain place he wanted to visit.
"So, You finally accepted, Kitty?" Eli asked suddenly.
Kitty understood what he meant,
"Whatz the 'munch, munch' Point~nya...I am only 'munch' alive 'munch' Because of your graze~nyg" Kitty Anna said with a frown however shaken by these thoughts and simply ate the new profound food.
"I see.." Eli muttered and said, "If you work and obey my orders, I might release you in the future".
Kitty stopped for a second before continuing to eat.
Eli took silence as yes.
However,
'No way, that bitch will kill me...If I ever think of leaving him. Fuck seriously who the hell are these women around this Hu-My master?' Kitty simply remembered the nightmare of a black-haired woman with red eyes killing and reviving her manically.
Just thinking about the lone night when she was revived first....she literally killed hundreds of times by a crazy woman's clone.
If possible Kitty wanted to die in peace and never wake up again just like someone who was same level as her enduring hellish work but never complaining.
While Kitty Anna was thinking, Eli was wondering why his wife and Adriana didn't contact him.
