"...I prefer to train you, who also have no merit in our kingdom." said Angus.
"Are you sure you are training us and not beating us?! Also, why did you always beat me so hard?! Millie, you should also say something to this scumbag!!" complained Mia from the side after being healed by Millie.
"Err... I think Lord... I mean Angus must not deliberately do it. You should know it is hard to hold back during a fight at our level." said Millie.
If it is any other people, what Millie said is right. But for Angus, this is pure nonsense since he could perfectly control his skill and spell power. Still, Angus decides to turn a blind eye and not expose Millie's blatant lie.
"Urgh... Millie, you are siding with Angus too much lately. You also never fight seriously during our spar. Otherwise, we could beat this scumbag." retorted Mia.
"Mia, we are all friends. It is bad to hurt each other." replied Millie innocently.
'Then, why are we the ones that get beaten?!!' thought everyone.
"Ehem... Anyway, this sparring is also good for your experience. In this world, there are many strange types of opponents. I heard some time ago you also fight someone with divine skill [Invincible]," said Angus.
"Our training is to focus on your adaptability in the battle. I will use various kinds of magic in unpredictable ways when fighting against you. Of course, there is also a chance for me to suddenly use close combat force." added Angus.
After that, Angus continues to preach and teach everyone about their shortcomings besides Millie. Angus has a complicated feeling and a special relationship with this black-haired girl, who is also his first friend.
It is not that he is attracted to Millie in love or something. He never expected Millie to become so obsessed with him and consider him her God.
At first, Millie is just obsessed with Angus's soul and strength. Later, she finds that Angus's soul is not only dangerous but also unsurpassable. The deeper she learns about Soul art, the more she understands how powerful his soul is.
After a while, this feeling grows, turning Millie into a believer in Angus. Furthermore, she uses her faith in him to cast many miraculous soul spells. Much of her soul art also comes from Religious magic, which requires deep faith and divine energy.
Through this series of coincidences and interactions, Angus somehow became a believer in this world. Though he is not new to this kind of believer.
In his previous life, Angus also gathered many fanatical believers because of his Godly talent and strength. One of them is his unfaithful disciple who has also come to this world.
When Angus thinks about Millie, he has a complicated feeling. He doesn't want her to become like her disciple in the past, but he knows he can't just stop Millie either.
'*Sigh* Sometimes standing on the top is also tiring.' thought Angus inwardly.
After resting for a while, Angus and the others continue their training. This time, they are fighting against Jayna without her destructive Phoenix Fire. They fight better than fighting Angus but still can't win either.
The combination of Angus and Phoenix's memories is enough to increase Jayna's combat prowess. This is also why Jayna refuses to enter the knight competition.
Fighting against her peers no longer significantly improves her. She can only improve further by fighting against someone stronger than her.
They train for a whole day before stopping in the late afternoon. Angus decides to have dinner in the capital city to boost everyone's mood. He knows not everyone is like Jayna and him, who can train continuously for days.
Fighting for a few days straight exhausts not only their body but also their mind. Although it tempers their will for their future breakthrough, they must rest and relax occasionally for their well-being.
"Ignore it. It is just some pompous prince." replied Angus.
"Prince? Which one?" asked Mia while everyone glanced at Jayna.
On the other hand, the fourth princess, Jayna, is too busy taking care of Anna to ignore the situation. Angus and Jayna never bring their guard or knights during their ventures.
Their combat prowess is enough to secure their safety in the capital city. Instead, bringing more guards or knights will only attract more attention and trouble.
"The second one." replied Angus.
"Second prince? I hear you have had some conflict with him before." asked Axel.
"Forget about it. Let's just go." said Angus, trying to divert the conversation.
He still has not forgotten about the second prince's ploy to drag him into the prince's petty fight.
Although he couldn't do anything in the end because of King Leon's interference, he still held a grudge towards the second prince. It is already a given that he didn't do anything to him all this time.
During this time, "Good afternoon, did you mind me accompanying you on this beautiful afternoon?" asked a person wearing a high-quality white robe not far from them.
Before the passerby ladies can reply, the man suddenly notices Jayna, who is being dragged by the little gluttony. At once, Jayna's slim figure shines brightly in his eyes.
"Ohh... My!! What a lovely woman?! Is this what they call love at first sight?" said the person before approaching Jayna.
Before he could approach Jayna, Brigida suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked the frivolous person.
"Lovely..." called the person.
Before the person could speak further, "Halt!! You are disturbing, young miss." said Brigida coldly.
Ignoring the strange person, "Mommy, hurry!! Anna wants that!!" urges Anna while dragging Jayna again.
Jayna also ignores the person and follows Anna excitedly. The man is surprised at Jayna. He never expected her to become a mother at such a young age.
"Who is this clown? Millie, you should be careful of such a scumbag." commented Mia from the side.
"Mia, you are too loud. Although he looks like a rogue and scumbag, he is still polite even with his freak behavior." replied Millie from the side.
The two girls' conversation, especially Millie's gentle words, stabbed the person in the heart directly. However, the person ignored these comments and once again tried to pursue Jayna and Anna.
"W-Wait... Miss.. I mean.." said the person persistently.
Before he could take another step, Brigida intercepted and took him down. As Brigida tries to grab the person, the person instinctively dodges to the side. However, Brigida suddenly changed movement in a split second. *Bam*
