They all call me Great Master-Chapter 487 - 484: My Anna Can’t Be This Scary!
Arthur returned to Caesar Manor with 'Miss Anna' just before dawn.
Marinda hadn't slept.
The lady had changed into everyday clothes and was sitting there browsing through notes and books left by Geppetto.
Previously, she had only skimmed through them, hoping to assimilate them into her own knowledge; naturally, it wasn't enough just to read them hastily.
In fact, to catch up with Arthur, the lady had already reorganized her time, planning an additional two months of intense reading and extending her daily reading time from three hours to four.
Knowledge is power!
This maxim holds true especially on the Mystic Side.
It wasn't false at all.
Moreover, Marinda was reflecting on the path she had previously chosen—
Developing power wasn't wrong, but prioritizing it over enhancing her own strength was putting the cart before the horse.
It was much like the Kledos Family in South Los.
They hadn't just refrained from expanding power but had also concealed and disbanded their existing power; however, when needed, they quickly rallied their forces.
Why?
This content is taken from fгeewebnovёl.com.
Because of strength.
True strength, totally their own.
'Originally, I only wanted to enhance my own strength, and to facilitate obtaining the materials needed for rituals, I formed what is known as the 'Lady of the Long Night Salon.'
But when did the 'Lady of the Long Night Salon' become more important than enhancing my strength?
Why would I make such a basic error?'
The lady questioned herself.
Then, quite naturally, thoughts of others respecting her almost fearfully, and the satisfaction that surged from her heart, surfaced in her mind.
Such satisfaction led her astray.
Fortunately, she had awakened.
She knew how she ought to adjust and change.
'Am I really just 20 years old after all?'
Marinda mocked herself internally.
Then, the lady suddenly got a bit upset.
Because—
Arthur was only 17!
At 17, Arthur acted much more maturely than she did.
And she, three years his senior, behaved like a childish little girl.
This filled Marinda with a strong sense of frustration.
Of course, the frustration inside didn't affect the lady's thought of 'diverting her attention, resting for a moment.' She was ready to discuss life philosophies with Arthur, starting by giving each other the middle finger.
However, before the lady could speak, the scene before her left her dumbfounded—
When Arthur entered the room, following Arthur's command, Pendragon, who had been guarding all night, immediately came over, constantly rubbing against Arthur's pant legs.
"Good kitty, well-behaved kitty, well done!"
Arthur did not skimp on his praises and even pulled out a small dried fish to give to Pendragon.
Gulugulu.
Pendragon, with the dried fish in his mouth, emitted a pleased sound from his belly.
But, the next moment, the dried fish fell from Pendragon's mouth onto the ground.
Because—
Pendragon saw 'Miss Anna,' slowly climbing up from behind Arthur with a terrifying and ferocious face, enveloped in shadows.
Meow? Meow? Meow?
Pendragon let out a rapid series of meows, his chubby face showing rare signs of fright.
It wasn't that Pendragon was particularly cowardly.
It was simply too frightening how 'Miss Anna' suddenly climbed up from behind Arthur.
Let alone a cat, anyone who suddenly saw a terrifying puppet climb up from behind someone else to greet them would be scared enough to pee themselves.
The big orange cat's eyes bulged like brass bells, staring at 'Miss Anna' as if the air were about to solidify.
Arthur immediately 'comforted' his cat.
"Pendragon, this is 'Anna,' didn't you play around her just before?
Why suddenly act like she's a stranger today?
Come on, say hello to 'Miss Anna.'
Arthur said smilingly.
Pendragon clearly saw the teasing in his owner's eyes.
His owner was doing it on purpose!
Immediately, the cat came to that conclusion.
Meow! Meow!
Pendragon kept meowing repeatedly.
The intention couldn't be clearer.
Even those who did not understand the 'meow language' could feel that Pendragon was swearing quite profusely.
And Arthur just laughed heartily.
Arthur had been running full speed to get back to Caesar Manor before dawn had broken, even using the 'Cat Hole' technique 'Silent Successive Steps.'
The speed was indeed fast.
But 'Miss Anna,' who had originally been sitting on Arthur's shoulder, now lay on his back.
Only in this way, she could avoid being blown off by the wind coming head-on.
Late>r, Miss Anna climbing up onto Arthur's shoulder?
Purely accidental!
Yes, just an accident!
How could Arthur possibly scare his own little kitten?
The young 'Spirit Medium' bent down and picked up Pendragon.
"Trial!
Pendragon, this is your trial to become the 'Cat Warrior'!
Only in this way can you pull the Sword in the Stone and claim the title of king!"
Arthur, with eyes wide open, was spouting nonsense, while Pendragon looked at his master with confusion.
Warrior's trial?
Claim the title of king?
And what is this Sword in the Stone?
Pendragon's mind was filled with doubts.
But Arthur was laughing heartily on the inside once again.
Bought it! It bought it!
Pendragon actually believed it!
The satisfaction of deceiving a kitten made Arthur's mood even more relaxed and joyful—everyone has their own way to decompress, some drink and sing, others take baths and saunas.
Arthur is different.
He, pets cats.
Perhaps the way he does it is a bit unusual, but it really is just petting cats, with no malice.
As for the warrior's trial, claiming the title of king?
Wasn't that just made up by him?
And the Sword in the Stone?
Worst case scenario, he could find Pendragon a cement block with a steel bar inserted to play with later.
If that fails, he could also make a longsword with a special scabbard.
After all, there were plenty of ways.
The most important thing was: he was happy now.
However, soon, Arthur noticed Marinda looking at 'Miss Anna' in astonishment.
Arthur noticed.
'Miss Anna' had noticed long ago.
Ever since she appeared in this room, Marinda had been staring at her nonstop.
Facing this lady's stare, 'Miss Anna' jumped off Arthur's shoulder and bowed gracefully in greeting—
"Miss Caesar, nice to meet you for the first time, I am Anna Kledos."
Hearing such a greeting and introduction, Marinda became even more bewildered.
The lady even forgot to return the gesture, just staring blankly at Arthur.
"Soul Charging—you learned it?"
Disbelief flooded the lady's words.
"Of course.
Learned it after watching just once.
Nothing difficult."
Arthur spoke calmly, as though discussing how the breakfast eggs should be dipped in soy sauce.
But in Marinda's heart, a storm was brewing.
The lady knew Arthur was exceptionally talented.
But she did not believe Arthur's previous statement to 'Glast' that he 'learned it after watching just once,' thinking it was a psychological tactic.
But now?
It was true!
Marinda found it hard to breathe.
Especially when she noticed the displeasure on 'Miss Anna's' face due to her lack of timely response, her heart was deeply shocked.
'This isn't the original Soul Charging!
This is Arthur's optimized version of Soul Charging!'
Marinda exclaimed in her mind.
She had read Geppetto's notes before, and naturally knew what the real 'Soul Charging' looked like.
'It's true!
Everything is true!
Arthur really learns swordsmanship and secret techniques after just one glance, and he can even innovate and improve them!
Such talent...
What a monster!'
Thinking this, Marinda regained her composure.
The lady first bowed to 'Miss Anna,' then turned to Arthur and said—
"Don't follow me, I'm in a bad mood and need some sweets."
"Bring me back some egg tarts."
Arthur immediately called out.
Bang!
The response Arthur got was the loud sound of the door slamming.
'Did I really shock her?
No way, my Marinda isn't that fragile, right?'
Arthur amused himself with these thoughts when his gaze turned back to the direction of the door.
The next moment, the door was knocked—
Thump, thump thump!
