Chapter 62 - A Message

Following the figure's gesture, the young lady looked down at her clothes that were revealing her alluring body underneath, and then her face immediately flushed in red before muttering: "I-I suppose, I will take a shower first and then change out of these clothes before that."

And then she looked up at the figure and ordered: "Have the recording prepared for me before I return."

"Understood, your highness." 

The figure bowed and replied respectfully before turning and walking away into the building behind them.

The young lady was the only one standing in the open space where she was training.

'Just who could've defeated someone like Li Weisheng, I am curious about this individual and also whether they are worth challenging to improve my swordsmanship.' 

The young lady quietly thought before walking towards the building from a different direction from where the figure entered the residence just now, seemingly entering the residence through a different entrance. 

…

Back at the Smith Household.

Randy had just logged out of the virtual world, he opened his eyes a moment later, and right away, he quickly took off the virtual helmet, placing it to the side as he opened the cover of the virtual machine. 

He then checked the time projected on the virtual machine which said that it was still midnight.

Originally, Randy was planning to stay till morning, but after fighting Li Weisheng, he was mentally and physically tired and so, he decided to log out instead. 

Not to mention, his avatar's body was already at its limit after being drained physically. 

Although one cannot run out of energy during virtual combat since it will be recovered after each fight. Nonetheless, that does not mean that one would not accumulate fatigue throughout the virtual duel.

That was one of the realistic aspects of the virtual world, as one could even get tired while playing the game and they would have to rest before continuing on with whatever they were doing.

Randy himself had not experienced the game aspect before so, he did not know how it would feel like to play the game before. 

But from how he was so tired from fighting in the virtual combat arena, he could now tell how it would feel like to live in the game world. 

He could tell that it would not feel that much different from living in the real world.

Another thing he noticed was the fact that while in the virtual training room, one could not get tired, and furthermore, one could only train their techniques without using their energy in the training room.

At this point, Randy proceeded to look into the void of space, specifically on the notification from his system. 

[[You have fought and decisively defeated your opponent in combat, thus obtaining 1000 Knowledge Points]]

After reading through this, Randy was satisfied with the amount of knowledge points this time.

'If only I can fight people like Li Weisheng daily, then I will be able to gradually accumulate more knowledge points.'

Randy silently thought to himself as he got out of the virtual machine and then walked towards the door to the room.

As he was about to open the door, he suddenly remembered something and halted his actions.

'That's right, I forgot that I had activated Ancestral regression skill. I should deactivate it before going out in order to not cause any confusion in case my mom or my little sister sees my new appearance. Then again, what does my current appearance look like? Whatever, I will check it tomorrow when I use the skill again.'

Thinking so, he focused his mind to quickly to deactivate the skill.

[[Ancestral Regression Skill Deactivated]]

With that out of the way, Randy was now relieved, and he proceeded to open the door and then walked out.

Once outside, he made his way into his bedroom which was next to the room he came out from.

After entering his room, he did not do anything else and proceeded to lie on his bed, falling asleep shortly afterwards.

…

The following day.

Randy woke up early in the morning, washed up, ate his breakfast, and then made his way to the academy as usual.

Throughout the weekend, so many things had happened to him.

The first thing was that he had finally awakened his ability, the second thing was that he had apprehended a criminal immediately after acquiring his abilities and was even promised a bounty reward, and then he went hunting in the Beast Forest to accumulate knowledge points to learn a profound technique. 

And finally having to test out his newly learned profound technique for the first time in the virtual world's virtual duel system. 

With all that had happened, his temperament was no longer the same as the gloomy loser that he was. 

At this point, he was an ability holder, and he even had energy compatibility which he thought he never had before. 

After all, even though one's ability was important, without the energy, how could one nurture such ability? 

As such, even if one could not awaken their ability early, there was still a chance to awaken their ability in the future if they had energy compatibility. 

That was because as one cultivated their energy, their energy level would increase, their mental strength might also increase, and the most important part was that their bodies would even get stronger and eventually meet the requirement to awaken their own innate ability in the process.

However, Randy's case was really peculiar as he not only failed to awakened his ability, he also did not have any energy type that he was compatible with and thus he was even more useless than those that could not awaken their abilities.

As Randy walked through the streets towards the academy, he went through his smart bracelet, specifically his message section, and then he found out that an unknown contact had sent him a message from yesterday. 

Randy pondered for a bit and then he tapped the projected screen to reveal the message and he was immediately surprised by what he saw when he read the first few lines.

However, upon reading further down, his expression slowly turned serious as he had a frown on his face until he completely finished reading through the entire message.
