Chapter 122

Lucky 122

It was still early in the morning when Lou and Calix had their conversation. So when breakfast arrived, Calix met her again. 

Lou was stealing glances at him as her face blushed because of some reason. She recalled how Calix kissed her forehead earlier, it was a simple act but she felt sensual. As if Calix licked her whole body and it felt so good. She prepared the dishes with the help of Nanny Lola. 

Calix tried to help them but Nanny Lola was adamant about not letting him. She said that as a servant, it was their job to prepare the dishes. So Calix chuckled and decided to sit down and wait for them. 

Just the right timing and Andreas came down too. He returned late last night because he talked about the current situation of the border. The Mayor of Evitac was seriously listening to what he was saying. The Mayor experienced the Blood Moon and he knew how the Aberrants turned crazy whenever the moon turned red. So he was anxious about the current situation at the border. 

So far everything was good, as Andreas said. Their country had two routes for the monster to enter and they were tightly protected. The first was the south-eastern part, where the Border lies. The second was the western part where the Port of Aoneon was built to fight against the water-type Aberrants. 

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

Andreas greeted them and they returned back the greeting. When everything was set on the table, they started eating. 

Lou couldn't help but stare at Calix, but she would cut the star gazing after she realized that Andreas and Nanny Lola felt like something was going on. 

Especially Andreas, he felt like a Lou was glancing at Calix for every minute. Andreas had a strong sense so he immediately understood what was happening. He sighed instead. This bastard son of his. 

He felt like his son inherited their lineage as a fuckboi. Ogres were truly frightening beings. To be fair, Ogres were naturally good people but there was one big flaw that reflected in them. They were sex savages. 

People knew them as a species that would nod at sex. Well, actually, girls like them a lot. Because Ogres could satisfy their primal urges. And his son strongly inherited that trait from them. 

Andreas didn't know if he would be happy or sad. The fact that Calix deciphered his Term Attribute was enough reason to celebrate but his TA's fuel was disastrous. He had to have sex. It means that one way or another, Calix would be entangled with different girls. 

'Why do I feel that I will have a grandchild next year?'

Was that a foreshadow? Anyway, let's return to Calix who was eating his food awkwardly because he could feel Lou's glances. 

"Ehem, Calix."

"Yes, dad?"

Calix straightened his back as he looked at his father. 

"Just like the usual, we will have sparring later on. I hope you're not getting rusty just because you use a pistol."

"I'm doing self-training."

"Good, let's see if you have what it takes to beat me."

Calix choked as he coughed. 

"… Dad, you have Term Attribute. You can destroy a concrete wall using your fingers."

"And? You have Term Attribute too?"

"Fair enough."

Calix sighed.

Andreas' Term Attribute was called Steel Physique where his skin became tough like a bulk of steel combined. On top of that, because Andreas is a 2nd Advanced, he had his first Term Attribute too. It was called Metal Term Attribute.

[Andreas Romoel]

[Metal Term Attribute]

[Steel Physique Term Attribute]

[Fuel: He has to eat food that is rich in iron such as shellfish, spinach, or pumpkin seeds every day.]

[Backlash: He will become flimsy if he doesn't eat food that is rich in iron.]

After eating, Calix asked for a favor from Nanny Lola. He said that he needed painkillers at night because he knew that his father would give him a beating. 

'As expected, dad didn't completely agree with my way of handling my power.'

After all, Andreas believed in true love. So the idea of flirting and fucking other girls was not good in his dictionary. 

………

……

…

"Ugh!!"

Calix stumbled on the floor. He wiped his forehead and he was panting like crazy. They were in private judo that Andreas rented for a day. He knew the owner of the facility so he didn't have a hard time getting a reservation. 

Calix weakly stood, he was fighting his father for three hours straight. Yet he couldn't beat him at all. The worst was that his Luck was not helping him. It was dormant. 

'I don't know why I can't land a hit.'

"What's happening? I thought you're Lucky? Then why are you groveling on the floor?"

Calix gritted his teeth and charged at him.

However, because Calix was already tired, he lost his posture when Andreas kicked his foot, then Calix received a good suplex. Calix groaned on the floor as his back arched in pain. 

"… Well, I can see the reason why you're Luck is not helping you at all."

"Hah… Hah…" Calix was breathing hard. "What is it?"

"Calix, it seems like you don't understand at all. The fact that you're on the floor, writhing because of simple injuries is Luck."

"I don't know… what you're talking about," Calix said as he tried to stand up. However, Andreas gave him another beating. 

"Calix, Luck comes in all forms. I will tell you one lesson, the fact that you're on the floor writhing in pain is indeed Luck. Do you know why? Because once you landed a hit on me, I will crush your ribs with my Term Attribute. This means that sometimes, being unfortunate is being Lucky. I hope you remember that lesson."

Calix nodded as his face had a painful expression. He realized that what he received was already Lucky because he knew that his father was not joking in terms of teaching him. Andreas would definitely crush his ribs if Calix landed a hit on his body.

Calix remained on the floor, he was panting. 

"… I guess… I'm Lucky."

He found that suffering could be a form of Luck sometimes. Calix learned another thing, so he was satisfied with the beating. Besides, his father would always call a healer to treat him. Money was not a problem because they were rich.

"By the way, dad, do you know this game called stun seed?"

"Hm? I don't know, I'm not good at playing games."

Andreas tilted his head and Calix did his best not to laugh. 

"Nothing much, I just realized that stun seed is kind of unique if you read it backward."

"What do you mean? Dees nuts-- I swear, I'll beat you up."

Andreas facepalmed and Calix started snickering. This was his way to get revenge on him.
