IDOLIZING CHAOS

Daily routine, invitation to the capital! part 3

     Father and son were stumped.. When did it become your turn to gain here. This has always been about us! 

"Young Master, I really don't understand what y.."

"Oi, what there to understand eh? It's a bet or do you foolishly think I'll just be like a zombie and follow your dreams? When I fail I kow tow for you, when I win you slap a hand on my shoulders... F*ck!"

 Charles grind his teeth angrily, that's exactly what he had thought.. Well except the hand to shoulder part.  This kid... Enjoys making me a fool... Scr*w him! 

"What do you want young master?. " he said without expressing any feeling outside. 

"Huh?... What else except money.. Give me all the gold my father gave you as wages for teaching me.. And also stay off my lawn!" Aeries then started rebuking himself for slipping up.. Am not sure they have an idea what a lawn means. 

"You!.. You'll anger this old teacher to death.. Why are you being a hoodlum now.. Okay, fine!" Charles immediately motioned his son to start immediately less he pukes out blood from the crazy assault from this slick pants. 

"Brat, prepare to die.. No to be changed!" what mouth slip.. We're still in the Father's house! 

Immediately the air seem to stagnate as Erhard crunched down in an athlete starting posture, prepared to fire up.. The chatter in the pavilion increased exponentially as children immediately started comparing strengths.

  "Hahhh!" Erhard flung himself towards Aeries in a what would be the speed of sound... Creating shock waves on the air.. 

  Aeries immediately noticed something was wrong.. Aiya this father and son pair were up to no good.. Seeing the boy pumped up like that, it was either he had activated some kind of bloodline technique or his was drugged with something... If it was the letter then the Charles as the father was as heartless as he was witless.

  Aeries was still hiding his powers, constrianed to the 2nd level of Body Foundation Realm, but even at that who was he... With multiple near death experiences in fighting life opponents he was in a very high tier than all this pampered son of nobles, only practicing flashy skills to make them cool. 

 He immediately step sided and avoided the outburst from Erhard.. He followed with a leg fling and struck the poor boy's back mercilessly. 

"Ahiia..." With a BAM sound, Erhard was sent flying... Stumbling over before stopping some few meters away. Aeries immediately followed up with a palm, and although Erhard tried to dodge, like before he was seemingly attracted to the strike and again flew like a kite. 

  This time he stopped just few centimeters short from the departing line. He stood up slowly and wanted fighting again, 

  Aeries shook his head although he didn't know why he felt pity for the boy.. Maybe I was like that.. Undaunted.. Although for a different reason. And means, looks like he was truly drugged, Aeries immediately followed with another palm strike and closed on Erhard.. Only to see him suddenly smile... 

 Aeries senses all perked up at a sudden danger, the same time he felt a huge pressure don on him. 

"This Witless Old man!" he turned to see Charles smiling smirkishly, he had used his aura at the 2nd level of Martial Warrior to put pressure on Aeries.. How could he even move, not to talk of fight.. This plan was settled as far as he was concerned... 

"My boy.. Open your fighting spirit... Churn the anger deep inside of you.. Let the hot boiling anger out!... Let it out son, let it out" Following their wicked plan, Charles shouted dramatically, making everyone focus on the fight in high anticipation.. Something heroic was about to happen! This is where the hero breaks free and defeat the evil demon lord!.. Their immature minds roamed. 

 And according to play Erhard shouted with deep anger "AHHHHHHHHH! Know me boy... I.. Am... Erhard!!! "

 With unbelievable strength he struck out, focusing all his might in his punch... Time slowed, as he approached Aeries.. He was filled with great relief and anticipation.. Finally Defeated my nemesis! 

"HUH?"

"AHH?" Father and son pair seemingly synced with wide open eyes. The Star struck Aeries moved, although somewhat slowly.. 

  Aeries would have loved to play with them but he was as busy as a Realtor... Even if he had the time, this was just too... Childish. 

  His palm strike still followed up and seem to pass through a the attacks and defenses of Erhard, landing again on his chest. He screamed and fell face first arm flailing out of the training arena. 

  Charles was left in disbelief and anger.. All his plans. This boy just made him a laughing stock in front of children.. 13 year old children! 

"You... You...  Haven't done enough to me and my family? ... Why.. W" he shuttered and vomited a mouthful of blood in anger. 

  Aeries was even a little bit moved, what my fault? Obviously it was you cunning family that set traps everywhere for me.. First time am really seeing the family famous Like Father Like Son quote in real life. 

 Watching Charles pick up his son to go.. The devil suddenly tempted Aeries to add fuel to the fire.. Humph, with all the schemes you did, just going away without saying sorry? 

"Oi Oi... Old Teacher.. I hope you haven't forgotten our bet.. You can't renege on it after saying it in front of witnesses.. One can placate for actions done, but can't eat back words said. I hope you'll keep your word. I really need money badly"

  Charles stumbled after he heard that.. And immediately quickened his steps like a bird, flea out of the arena 

"Don't worry Aeries, I'll surely send your money.. Hope you choke on it" was the only reply he could say pitifully. 

'You can't choke on money because you don't eat it stupid!. Use your brain some times'

  The next days were boringly normal for Aeries after that. 

 Charles wouldn't teach him anything unless it was when all the Earl's children were together.. It seems the actions that day scared him. Not that Aeries minded anyways, he wasn't going in the same path like normal cultivators. The path the system gave him was.. Kill bosses, grow stronger!'

  Although this looked easy it wasn't at all! He could waste the whole year killing low ranked beast and yet his EXP would move an inch.. Only higher level monsters could exponentially increase his cultivation.

 "This Memory Crystal, how am I going to open this... Aiya! Mountain of treasure yet the Jade dragon blocking me, too frustrating. I've been trying for a long time without going anywhere."

  "After father leaves, I'll have to go again to the Red Blood Forest, probably secretly... I need to rank up quickly!" Although things seemed calm on the surface, a hidden storm was brewing around the Kriegar household from what Aeries could see, the Earl's former friend Charles had completely given himself up to the King, and chooses to openly spy on them.. Such disgrace could never had happened in their peak! 

  Aeries had a feeling the Capital was just testing the waters. It had been okay when he had not taken over this body, and the former Aeries was still a lazy slick pants.. Nobody had been worried then. But now that he had suddenly become a Genius on the path of cultivation he was bound to soar the skies and be a very high ranked powerhouse. Of course the King would be fearful of that, he had sent the Spy.. Next time I wonder what would happen.

-----------------------------------------------------------

 The answer came a month later as an invitation for all noble children who had high aptitude for cultivation and those that had already started cultivating to go to the Royal House for a ranking competition! 

  To Aeries this letter smelt 100% conspicuous. Why now of all times.. And although the King had shown patience to wait for a whole month before sending the invitation so that nobody would suspect, the speed of the whole process still left room for discussion. 

  According to the letter, the contest would start a week later, and end in 5 days.. This shows that everything had already been prepared before sending the letter. Another fact was from the messenger himself. 

  Aeries had seen him painting tiredly and ask why..... The reason. The poor messenger had been on the road without sleep. Speeding all the way. This was it due to the King's verdict or something. One could see the anxiety the king had against Aeries. 

   In the meeting room, Father and Son met again, but this time, 19 more youth's were in the room. Dutifully listening to the Earl's speech.
