I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 140: Sibling Spar



Chapter 140: Sibling Spar

Angus planned to train his sense of space by using the [Shadow Blink] with the help of Dark mist. At first, Angus finds it difficult to do it alone and needs complete help from Draven. After a while of practice, he managed to do [Shadow Blink] alone while in shadow mode.

As the dark mist is gone, Angus's body is once again entering shadow mode. After silence for a while, he opened his eyes [Shadow Blink].

His body disappears on the spot and appears in the tree shadow nearby. Appearing in the shadows, Angus immediately vomited all his food before getting on his knee.

'Damn, the disorientation is worse than the last teleportation device I took. The mana consumption is more or less the same as using it with the dark mist, but the disorientation is worse. Urrgh...' thought Angus before vomiting again.

After a while and trying to calm his breath, "Haa.. Haa... how come King Leon could do [Blink] in succession without getting nausea. Just doing it once already makes me feels the world is upside down." commented Angus while leaning on the tree.

"Angus!! Are you okay?" said Jayna while approaching him.

"Urghh… I am.. No.. Not okay. So, don't attack me." replied Angus hurriedly as he could feel Jayna wanting to attack him.

Hearing this, Jayna stops her hand from attacking Angus, "Haa… Did you practice [Blink] again?" asked Jayna.

"Yes, I managed to do it without dark mist this time. But, the disorientation is so great I could barely stand on my feet." said Angus.

"Haa.. you are really absurd. But, I guess you will still do it even though I told you to stop, right?" said Jayna.

"Stopping learning a skill when I could appear anywhere I want? You are kidding, right?" said Angus.

"Okay-Okay… Just don't overwork yourself and take it slowly. Anyway, I already asked my father before. He said that you need to take it slowly to familiarize yourself with the disorientation and the fluctuation." said Jayna.

He also tells you to learn on your own. So, I don't know if what you are doing now is right or wrong." said Jayna.

"Don't worry about it. Besides, I already got his precious daughter. There is no way I could ask him to teach me using [Blink]." said Angus with a smile.

Hearing this, Jayna begins to blush and doesn't know how to respond. Looking at Jayna's reaction, Angus smiles happily and begins patting her head.

After the couple enjoys their time together for a while, they decide to go back to their dorm. During the journey, Angus found Vergil at the entrance of their dorm. Looking at Vergil, Angus immediately came towards him.

"Vergil, you are back." said Angus as he noticed that Vergil is somewhat becoming more mature.

"Angus, you are finally here. Ahh… Good afternoon, Fourth Princess." said Vergil while noticing Jayna also with Angus.

"Afternoon, 2nd young Master Victory. Please call me Lady Jayna." said Jayna.

"Then, please just call me Vergil. Lady Jayna." said Vergil.

"Alright, I leave the two of you first. Afternoon, Vergil." said Jayna, leaving the two brothers alone.

"Hey, since when you get close with the Fourth Princess?" asked Vergil.

"Since the last term. Why is there anything wrong with that?" asked Angus back.

"What?? last term? Why didn't you tell me??" asked Vergil.

"Ohh, I forgot to mention it before. It's nothing to worry about. Anyway, how is the quest?" said Angus trying to divert the topic.

"Wait.. Wait.. what do you mean nothing to worry about. She is the fourth princess of our Kingdom. THE FOURTH PRINCESS, and you just became somewhat close with her. Haa… What else have you done that you didn't tell me?" said Vergil in a hysterical tone.

"Err.. I ask for her hand from her father." said Angus as he uncovers this matter to his brother.

"You What!! Damn!! You are kidding right??" said Vergil.

Angus only shakes his head.

"H-How come you still survive? Did his majesty accept your proposal?" said Vergil.

"Of course not. But, he also didn't blatantly refuse me. So, I don't know." said Angus.

"Err… I know you have been invited to the royal palace a few times before. But, to think you will become the fourth princess's boyfriend. You are truly an amazing brother."

"Alright, enough of me. Anyway, how is your quest?" asked Angus.

Hearing Angus's question, Vergil got his bearings before saying, "Of course, I passed it with flying colors." said Vergil.

"So, what is the quest?" asked Angus

"Ahh.. Have you ever heard about the fire squad?" asked Vergil back.

"Isn't that the squad that focuses on fire spell or skill under the Duke Blue?" said Angus.

"Oh.. you know about it." said Vergil.

"Yeah, father told me about it a little bit. Don't tell me you are joining the squad?" asked Angus.

"Hahaha… Of course not. After the attack of the monster wave before, father decided to train a squad under him like a fire squad. But more leaning on destruction and lethality. It's called the explosion squad." explained Vergil.

"And you are joining this squad." said Angus.

"Bingo. But that's also not right. During the quest examination, I am doing a sort of internship in this squad. After I graduate, I will officially join this squad." explained Vergil.

Although the squad is still in the preliminary phase, it already teaches me more than the one I learn from the royal academy. I feel I have become stronger than before." said Vergil proudly.

Hearing this, Angus silently thought for a moment. "Say, brother. If I somehow am stronger than you, how are you feeling?" asked Angus seriously.

"Ehh.. What are you talking about?" asked Vergil back.

"Ahh.. It's nothing. Forget what I said." said Angus trying to divert the topic.

Looking at this, Vergil frowns at Angus. "If you are getting stronger than me, I will be glad since it means I don't need to worry about you anymore. But, don't think you could surpass me easily. Hehehe…" said Vergil while laughing.

Hearing this and looking at Vergil smile, 'Yes, this is not my past life. I will not repeat the same mistake.' thought Angus.

"Then, brother. how about we spar a little bit." said Angus.

"Err… Are you sure??" asked Vergil.

"Yep, I know a place for us to have a spar. Follow me." said Angus before walking away.

"Alright, then lead the way." said Vergil.

After walking for a while, the two brothers arrive at the smithing facility. Entering the facility, "Angus, are you sure this is the right place?" asked Vergil.

"Yeah, don't worry about it, just follow me." said Angus while going into the deeper area.

"Brat, How rare of you to come at this hour?" said Balrug from his quarter.

"Old man, I will borrow the training area." replied Angus.

Hearing this, Balrug looked at Vergil. "I see. Don't forget to lock it back after you use it." said Balrug while throwing the key.

Catching the key, "Yosh, follow me, brother. This way." said Angus while going down towards the basement.

After arriving at the basement training area, "Wow, I don't know that there is this huge room below the smithing facility." said Vergil.

"Yes, this is the training area that I used. Inside here, we could go all out without minding our surroundings." said Angus.

"That you used, I see, so you are also doing some secret training. Alright, brother. I will take this spar seriously." said Vergil excitedly.

"Glad to hear that. Otherwise, it will end before you know it." said Angus while flaring up his mana and revealing his first-grade mana core.

Feeling Angus's mana, "T-This is first-grade mana core. Since when?" said Vergil.

"Enough talking, brother. Let's start." said Angus.

Looking at Angus's serious face, "Alright, then." said Vergil that also flared up his mana.

'His mana density is the same as mine. I need to take this seriously.' thought Vergil.

Suddenly, Vergil shoots two [Firebolt] at Angus from both of his hands. Looking at the approaching [Firebolt], Angus sidestepped and dodged the [Firebolt] easily.

During this time, Vergil approaches Angus and starts attacking him in close combat. However, contrary to his expectation, Angus could dodge all his attacks effortlessly.

After dodging Vergil's attack, Angus shoots a [Firebolt] towards Vergil while dodging. Because of such close range, Vergil couldn't avoid it but managed to put up his guard.

"It seems the rumor you are good at dodging is true. Alright, I will show you what I learned during my internship." said Vergil.

Then, Vergil jumps charge at Angus again. He launched his punch towards Angus. Unlike before, he gathered a lot of mana on his fist. But Angus could easily dodge the attack by a hair breath.

During this moment, the concentrated mana in Vergil's hand exploded [Explosion Fist]. *Bom* the small explosion makes a small shockwave and disoriented Angus a little bit.

Taking this opportunity, Vergil launched another attack at Angus. But, all of them could be dodged by Angus despite Vergil trying to disorient him few times. It feels like all Vergil's attacks are already being read before he launches them.

To his surprise, [Explosion Fist] also not working anymore as Angus began to take some distance before he exploded it.

After fighting for a while, "Alright… I surrender."
