Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel-Chapter 14 Mythical Beast
After becoming 10 year old, Zick's body has grown a lot more mature than before. Becoming a low rank knight had boosted his body growth by a lot.
He didn't look much masculine nor too thin, he had a normal build with some muscles. But the strength within his body is at least 20 times stronger than a normal adult without using his mana.
He had stopped exercising as it is a waste of his time, it wouldn't increase his strength at all. So his muscles stopped increasing.
When he became a low rank knight, his mana storage increased by almost 3 folds and he got a massive boost in his strength too.
In the beginning of his sparring with Garrick, Garrick would always be on the defensive when he attacked, which didn't help him in learning the limit of his strength at all.
That is the reason Zick ordered Garrick to fight him seriously. But even after that Garrick would always stop any attack that was about to land on Zick's body.
In the end Zick could only threatened him to fight seriously by saying-
["Holding back against an heir of the Melvix family even though you were ordered to go all out is a disrespectful act. From now on if you ever held back on attacking any opening you found on me by stopping, i will sentence you to death for performing a disrespectful act against me"]
The only way to find his shortcoming was to make Garrick attack him and find out what mistake he has been committing.
Garrick could have pointed all these mistakes out but that isn't enough for Zick. Learning it practically was faster.
From then on, Zick and Garrick would spar till Zick Bled from all around his body.
But Garrick made sure to not apply mana in his sword while fighting Zick to make sure that the wounds could be healed properly later.
He never held back on attacking at any Openings he got just like he was ordered which brought dozens of cuts in Zick's skin.
Zick's clothes would always be soaked in blood whenever he left the knight's training ground. Luckily there was a lot of healing potion in there so he could always heal his wounds.
But still this resulted in there being a lot of scars in his body. There wasn't a single scar in his face as Garrick never even once tried attacking Zick's face.
Zick wasn't worried about all the dress which had been torn apart while sparing. With the wealth of Melvix family he could buy as many as dress he wants.
The knights present in the training ground were astonished at the beginning when Zick started training like this.
But it slowly turned into admiration when they found out Zick sword skills were improving with leap and bound.
Zick had noticed their admiration from looking at them easily but he never once tried becoming closer to any of them.
He didn't plan on becoming the next head of the Melvix family at all. Instead he was already planning on using the money he got from selling mana crystal in the future to make a villa at a far away place and live there in peace for the rest of his life after making sure that there wasn't anything that could endanger his life.
'If anyone from earth saw me right now they would think of me as a masochist without a doubt'
While having these random thoughts, Zick went to Butler Von who was in the Main hall waiting for him.
"Prepare all the necessary things to travel to Duke garcia's ceremonial party"
"Yes young master, at what time may you be leaving?"
"its tomorrow morning and its 'we' you are coming with me"
"..."
Throwing all the responsibilities for preparing things necessary for travelling to Butler Von. Zick went to his room to cultivate a little mana.
It was still noon so there was some time left before he had his dinner.
Zick has already grown used to his new life here by now.
Even Butler Von had grown used to Zick treating him like this in the past year. He had already given up on serving another lord after seeing Zick's improving reputation in the Melvix family.
After seeing Zick being sent to an important party like this by the head of the Melvix family it was more apparent that Zick would not be killed when he turned 12 year old.
In the first place Butler Von wanted to serve someone else because of Zick not having any talent but now that he was showing abnormal level of talent, he had just accepted it as it was.
From the beginning to the end he didn't have the right to choose who he would serve, only following the order of the current lord is all he could do.
Entering his room, Zick changed into comfortable clothes and started cultivating with mana.
After two hours of training, he stopped and looked out of the window, it was already night by then.
Zick took the diary from the space ring in which he had written about all the information of the novel and started reading it.
He thought of Stella's story to be very exaggerated in the novel.
Stella fell in love with the second prince of the Cravion kingdom at their first meeting. It was on her 10th birthday, where the second prince had given her a flower which he had picked up while travelling.
The stella at that time was still a 10 year old girl, being given a flower from a Handsome boy had made her fall for....
'ah...just thinking of it makes me cringe....'
Well to be straight forward it all began because the second prince had given a flower to Stella.
The flower name was veisspec, it is one of the flowers which can only be found in this world. It glowed with a white halo around six petals like a rose.
The Garcia family is different from the Melvix family, the Melvix family make their heirs go through vigorous training from a very young age which leads them to maturing faster. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
And the Garcia family let their heir choose what they want to do. In other word most of the heirs of the Garcia family are spoiled childrens.
Zick didn't plan on stopping this event from happening at all.
'It's the protagonist and the second prince problem not mine' ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢
He just planned on staying in the corner of the party hall not gathering any attention upon him.
There was only one thing he wanted to do in the Garcia territory.
'The mythical beast....'
In the estate of the Garcia family there is a mythical beast which is protecting it from generations like a guardian.
It is black cat which loves wine.
This black cat has the power to say prophesies about anyone. Though it is a bit vague it had come in use to the protagonist once.
It wasn't much of a problem for Zick to bring a wine to the Garcia estate, the more the wine is of good quality the more the prophecy becomes clearer.
Zick had made up his mind to take the best wine found in the whole Melvix family with him to Garcia's estate.
'it's only wine anyway.....the prophecy should come in use to me'
