World Development System

Chapter 20

These days Eva and her team didn’t go out to the forest after hearing the news and were busy preparing for winter so that there were least casualties .

Today John met Eva when he was reading the books . It seemed that she had gotten to know about John training Josephine when he was training as well which irritated her quite a bit . So today she decided to ask his help in combat as well as magic .

"It’s a good thing that he knows magic as well maybe he can help me improve my combat style," thought Eva as she approached John .

"John I heard that you were helping Josephine in close combat and sword techniques nowadays . And you have even improved her Sword techniques . So I thought maybe you can improve my close combat and magic as well . Do you think you can help me in my combat techniques as well?" Eva asked John .

"Okay, that won’t be a problem . You can come at the same time Josephine comes in the afternoon as that would save time . Meanwhile, we can start today or day after tomorrow only because as you might know, I am having a banquet for my new mansion and success for the Rose Soap factory tomorrow . " John agreed to this proposition without thinking .

But Eva still furrowed her brows but thought against expressing it and agreed to the arrangements made .

From Today onwards John was allowed to read High-grade pharmacy books from Grandma Melanie . No one was surprised by this development as everyone thought it was only natural when it came to John . Even Eva thought it was natural after watching numerous of John’s miracles whether it came to combat or his learning capability .

Meanwhile, Grandma Melanie was busy experimenting with John’s theory on farming and implementing on her backyard herb garden . From this, she got quite a few results when it came to the quality of herbs or medicinal flowers . Hence in happiness, she had also allowed John to access her personal books as well as high-grade medicinal books . She was happy but also in a dilemma that John would learn everything she had to teach in a very short time about pharmacy and magic medicine later on . She anyways thought that if he learned everything then maybe he can help her in high-grade medicine later on where it took her a lot of time which would be helpful in the long run .

After his time at the pharmacy today he decided to invite people in the village for the banquet in his mansion which included all the important figures .

2 days before he had already given all the important recipes of food which he liked to the maids in the mansion and they had already begun doing preparations for it . He was still looking for a butler but there wasn’t anyone suitable so he thought he could pick one from the debt slaves when he traveled with Joseph towards the south .

Today he also got a report from Gordon and Arnold that someone was looking for them and tried to bribe them for learning the workings of the operations of the factory from them . It seemed they were knights of Antonio who brazenly tried to do it . John had expected such a sort of outcome from the day he had started his factory .

"It seems it was good that I increased the wages of all men in the factory after my first deal which has increased the loyalty of men or the situation could have been different" John thought after Gordon’s report . He also told him to keep an eye on people who seemed suspicious around their factory . The first thing he did after this incident was to tell everyone in the factory that they must look out for suspicious characters around the factory which gave a sense of trust to the men working in the factory .

Before leaving he invited everyone in the banquet the next day and gave Gordon and Arnold money for the necessary operations of the factory .

He also made sure to make them learn modern accounting methods so that money couldn’t be embezzled . Though he wasn’t worried about the money but he still wanted to implement the modern accounting methods as it would help him later on when his businesses become too big .

After inviting everyone he headed to his mansion for his training later on but today both Josephine and Eva were in the Mansion while it seemed that both of them didn’t say anything to each other . Though both of them still had a great relationship as they had known each other for a long time . Both of them still had sparks in their eyes when it came to today’s training . It seemed as if both of them instinctively regarded each other as enemies .

Servants in the Mansion were tending to both of them in the garden . As they knew that Josephine came to train every day while Eva was Grandma Melanie’s Great granddaughter while John was her student . They all tacitly thought that there was something going on between both of them and there would be a show today but contrary to their expectations nothing happened . It seemed that even Eva joined Josephine for her own combat training purposes so there weren’t any problems .

John then arrived and the day’s training also started . John made simulations based on his spar with both of them and gave them advice based on his conjectures on how to best utilize their techniques .

Today he also taught Eva to combine two magics . Eva was fire and wind magician but when it came to wind magic it had a very large difference when compared to fire magic .

Plus using 2 magic simultaneously wasn’t an easy feat . So she rarely used wind magic so that she could save her mana in battles . Only today John got to know that she was a Fire and Wind magician .

He also taught her Fire bullet magic and Wind bullet magic which he had created on his own after learning magic . He made this magic because this magic was very efficient and it had a low consumption of mana . Eva also realized how it was convenient using this magic . Fire bullet magic could also be strengthened by wind magic which was a plus for her . She had never seen people in the Imperial magic academy trying and creating new magic and if there were then it was the old coots who were inside their labs all day and they would certainly not teach their new magic to anyone but only show them to everyone just to raise their prestige .

John taught her this new magic as if it was nothing to him . Now she felt quite grateful that she had asked him to improve her combat and magic .

As for Josephine he only focused on her close combat as her new sword technique can only be improved with practice as he had already taught her all the important points about her own sword technique and Flower sword technique as well .

As they were training, 3 hours passed and their training ended for the day . Both Josephine and Eva left the Mansion . Today both of them were quiet but there weren’t any ill feelings .

Meanwhile, John was teaching the servants on the new recipes from Earth and Sarah’s world and doing the finishing touches for the banquet .
